This guidance note provides information about actual tax points. Depending on the order of events in relation to when a supply is made, an invoice is issued and the supply is paid for, a supply may have a basic tax point and one or more actual tax points. An actual tax point can override a basic tax point. For information about basic tax points, see the Time of supply ― basic tax points guidance note.

For detailed commentary on the tax point rules, see De Voil Indirect Tax Service V3.131 to V3.143.

  1. •

    payment is received before the basic tax point

  2. •

    a VAT invoice is issued before the basic tax point

  3. •

    a VAT invoice is raised after the basic tax point but within 14 days

  4. •

    an accommodation tax point is in place
