23rd May 1995

By virtue of section 481(5B) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (inserted by section 86(4) of the Finance Act 1995), the requirement for deposit-takers to deduct tax from any payment of interest made on or after 6th April 1996 to a discretionary or accumulation trust in respect of a deposit does not apply where the deposit was made before 6th April 1995, unless the deposit-taker has been given a notification by the Inland Revenue or by the trustees concerned prior to the making of the payment that interest in respect of the deposit is income arising to such a trust. These Regulations make provision in relation to such notifications.

Regulation 1 provides for citation, commencement and effect, and regulation 2 contains definitions.

Regulation 3 provides for the form of notification where the notification is given by the trustees of a discretionary or accumulation trust.

Regulation 4 makes provision in relation to the circumstances in which a deposit-taker is entitled to delay deducting tax from payments of interest to a discretionary or accumulation trust following receipt of a notification.

Regulation 5 provides for the cancellation of a notification.
