Corporation Tax Act 2010 Explanatory Notes

Part 23: Company distributions

3478.The paragraphs in this Part primarily rewrite date-related rules in the source legislation for Part 23 of the Act or the commencement rules for amendments of that source legislation.

Exempt distributions

3479.This paragraph switches off paragraph 8(1) of this Schedule (which preserves the effect of a transitional or savings provision repealed by this Act) in respect of the repeal by this Act of the Corporation Tax (Implementation of the Mergers Directive) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009/2797), which amended section 213(4) of ICTA. It does so to allow the rule in section 1081(1) to apply to the whole of the first accounting period of a company to which this Act applies (that is, the first accounting period to end on or after 1 April 2010) rather than only to the part of that accounting period that follows the effective date of those regulations (distributions made on or after 11 November 2009). See Change 66 in Annex 1.
