These forms have been amended as per the Legal Services Commission (LSC), who have asked that the reporting of Criminal costs now be VAT exclusive. The LSC say that this will bring Crime Reporting into line with Civil Reporting and allow for circumstances where the addition of VAT is not appropriate.

Therefore, form CDS6 has been amended to add two new columns pertaining to VAT, and form CDSC-GN has been amended to add a new section 2 pertaining to VAT. The former section 3 is now section 5. This document has also been amended throughout to reflect the VAT requirements and online submission as, from 1st August 2008, CDS6 submissions should be made electronically.
