  (b)              P has indicated their wish to use the relevant ID.

   

  7              When the circumstance in paragraph (6) arises, the policy must state-

   

  (a)              that P is obliged, upon the request of the responsible person, to make available to the responsible person the means by which their relevant ID may be verified; but

   

  (b)              that the responsible person may only accept P’s relevant ID where the condition in sub-paragraph (8) applies.

   

  8              The condition in this sub-paragraph is that the responsible person is covered by an agreement with a DVSP (“the relevant DVSP”) for the provision of digital verification services where-

  (b)              the relevant DVSP has agreed that it will deliver identification to the responsible person that reaches at least a medium level of confidence;

   

  (c)              that level of confidence has been verified by a DVSP, whether that DVSP is the relevant DVSP or another; and

   

  (d)              the relevant DVSP is registered as a provider of those services in accordance with Version 0.4 or Version 1.0 of the DVS trust framework.

   

  9              In this paragraph-

  Availability of Certain Measures of Alcohol

   

  1               The responsible person must ensure that -

  e.              “value added tax” means value added tax charged in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act 1994.

   

  3              Where the permitted price would not be a whole number of pennies, the permitted price shall be taken to be the price rounded up to the nearest penny.

   

  4              Where the permitted price on a day (“the first day”) would be different from the permitted price on the next day (“the second day”) as a result of a change to the rate of duty or value added tax, the permitted price which would apply on the first day applies to sales or supplies of alcohol which take place before the expiry of the period of 14 days beginning on the second day.
