This Revenue and Customs brief announces a change to UK VAT law to allow the zero rating of the dispensing of drugs prescribed by appropriate practitioners from the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. This is as a result of changes introduced in The Human Medicines Regulations 2012.
These changes apply to the whole of the United Kingdom.
