Finance Act 2014 Explanatory Notes

Commencement

8.Subsection (3) provides the effective date for the amendment to section 156ZB TCGA is 19 March 2014 for all claims under section 152 or 153 TCGA.

9.Subsection (4) provides the effective date for new section 870A CTA 2009 is accounting periods beginning on or after 19 March 2014.

10.Subsection (5) provides that an accounting period straddling 19 March 2014 is treated as two separate accounting periods.  The consequence of subsections (4) and (5) is that where new section 870A CTA 2009 applies, an accounting period will always commence on 19 April 2014 and the tax cost of the asset will be adjusted to reflect a claim made under section 152 or 153 TCGA on the first day of that accounting period.
