Commentary on Sections

Schedule 1: Minor and consequential amendments

Part 1: Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988

Section 312(2A)

3160.Section 1034(3) of this Act provides that the enterprise investment scheme (EIS) sections in Part 5 of this Act do not have effect in relation to shares issued before 6 April 2007. Since it is helpful to apply Change 56 in Annex 1 to such shares when this Act comes into effect, there is a consequential amendment to section 312(2A) of ICTA. This applies the new interpretation of an administration reflected in section 252(2) of this Act to shares issued before 6 April 2007. The amendment will have effect where the administration commences on or after 6 April 2007 in accordance with the commencement provision in section 1034(1).
