Finance Act 2013

Background

3.The Act is making significant changes to the structure of the National Health Service (NHS) in England. Some existing bodies, such as Primary Care Trusts, are to be abolished and new bodies established; other bodies will change their status (from special health authority to Non-Departmental Public Bodies). Subject to specific legislation these new bodies would be liable to CT.

4.The predecessor bodies were generally exempt from CT, as they were either part of the Department of Health or had specific exemption by virtue of sections 985 and 986 CTA 2010.

5.This section introduces legislation to similarly exempt the new bodies from CT.
