1
Where in a subsequent interval applicable to a capital item, the extent to which it is used in making taxable supplies increases from the extent to which it was so used F9or to be used at the time that the original entitlement to deduction of the input tax was determined, the owner may deduct for that subsequent interval an amount calculated as follows—
a
where the capital item falls within F4regulation 114(3)(b)—
b
where the capital item falls within F24regulation 114(3)(a)—
2
Where in a subsequent interval applicable to a capital item, the extent to which it is used in making taxable supplies decreases from the extent to which it was so used F20or to be used at the time that the original entitlement to deduction of the input tax was determined, the owner shall pay to the Commissioners for that subsequent interval an amount calculated in the manner described in paragraph (1) above.
F153
Paragraph (3ZA) applies where, during an interval other than the last interval applicable to a capital item, the owner—
a
supplies the whole or part of his interest in the capital item, or
b
is deemed to supply the whole or part of his interest in the capital item, or
c
would have been deemed to supply the whole of his interest in the capital item but for the fact that the VAT on the deemed supply (whether by virtue of its value or because it is zero-rated or exempt) would not have exceeded the sum specified in paragraph 8(1)(c) of Schedule 4 to the Act.
3ZA
If the supply (or deemed supply) of the capital item referred to in paragraph (3) is—
a
a taxable supply, the owner shall be treated as using the whole or part (as may be the case) of the capital item for each of the remaining complete intervals applicable to it wholly in making taxable supplies, or
b
an exempt supply, the owner shall be treated as not using the whole or part (as may be the case) of the capital item for any of the remaining complete intervals applicable to it in making any taxable supplies,
and, in each case, the owner shall, except where paragraph (3A) applies, calculate for each of the remaining complete intervals applicable to the capital item, in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) as the case may require, such amount as the owner may deduct or be liable to pay to the Commissioners.
F83A
This paragraph applies if the total amount of input tax deducted or deductible by the owner of a capital item as a result of the initial deduction, any adjustments made under paragraph (1) or (2) above and the adjustment which would apart from this paragraph fall to be made under F11paragraph (3ZA) above would exceed the output tax chargeable by him F13on the supply of the whole or part of that capital item.
3B
Save as the Commissioners may otherwise allow, where paragraph (3A) above applies the owner may deduct, or as the case may require, shall pay to the Commissioners such amount as results in the total amount of input tax deducted or deductible being equal to the output tax chargeable by him F5on the supply of the whole or part of the capital item.

“the adjustment percentage” means the difference (if any) between the extent, expressed as a percentage, to which the whole or part as appropriate of the capital item was used or to be used for the making of taxable supplies at the time the original entitlement to deduction of the input tax was determined and the extent to which the whole or part of it as appropriate is so used, or is treated under paragraph (3ZA) as being so used, in the subsequent interval in question;
“the original entitlement to deduction” means the entitlement to deduction under sections 24 to 26 of the Act and regulations made under those sections;
“the total input tax on the capital item” means—
in relation to any capital item, all VAT incurred by the owner on the capital expenditure on that item (whether or not the person incurring it is VAT registered at the time that it is incurred) including any non-business VAT; and
