(4) But a quantity of aggregate is not subjected to commercial exploitation if its exploitation— (a) consists in the removal of aggregate from one registered site to another, where 40 both sites are registered under the name of the same person, 6 Aggregates Tax and Devolved Taxes Administration (Scotland) Bill Part 1—Scottish aggregates tax Chapter 2—Key concepts (b) consists in or requires the removal of aggregate to a registered site for the purpose of having an excepted process applied to it on that site, (c) consists in or requires the removal of aggregate to any site for the purpose of having china clay or ball clay extracted or otherwise separated from it on that 5 site, or (d) has the result that— (i) without it being subjected to any process involving it being mixed with any other substance or material (other than water), and (ii) by virtue of it being used for a purpose connected with winning aggregate 10 or other minerals from that site, 1 it again becomes part of the land at the site from which it was won. (5) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), the time when a quantity of aggregate becomes the subject of an agreement to supply it to any person is— (a) when the agreement is entered into, or 15 (b) in a case where the quantity of aggregate is not separately identifiable when the agreement is entered into, the time when it is appropriated to the agreement. (6) But references in this Part to the supply of a quantity of aggregate do not include references to any supply which is effected, or is to be effected, by the transfer or creation of any interest or right in or over land. 20 (7) For the purposes of this Part, a quantity of aggregate is mixed with any material or substance in permitted circumstances if— (a) the material or substance with which it is mixed consists wholly of a quantity of taxable aggregate that has not previously been subjected to commercial exploitation in Scotland, and 25 (b) the mixing takes place on a site which, in a case where it falls within subsection (2) in relation to any part of the aggregate included in the mixture, falls within subsection (2) in relation to every part of it.

(6) Regulations under subsection (1) may include provision that where— (a) rules are agreed as mentioned in subsection (2)(c), and (b) Revenue Scotland believes that they should no longer be applied (whether because they do not give an accurate indication of the weight or are not being fully 30 observed or for some other reason), Revenue Scotland may direct that the agreed rules are no longer to have effect. 12 Rate of tax (1) The amount of tax charged on taxable aggregate is calculated by multiplying the applicable rate of tax by the weight in tonnes of the taxable aggregate. 35 (2) The amount of tax charged on a part of a tonne of aggregate is to be the proportionately reduced amount.
