All UK VAT registered Importers will be eligible to use PVA; no authorisation will be required. They will simply make the appropriate entry and provide their EORI and/or VAT registration number (VRN) on their customs declaration. This process (subject to customs clearance) will allow the goods to enter into free circulation without up-front payment of the import VAT. The customs declaration will generate an online Monthly Postponed Import VAT Statement
(MPIVS) that will be the evidence required to account for and recover the import VAT as input tax on their next VAT return. (Note: The C79 will continue to be produced for those entries where any VAT is paid on importation).
