These Regulations amend regulation 14 of the Working Tax Credit (Entitlement and Maximum Rate) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2005) in consequence of the revocation, in relation to England, of the Tax Credit (New Category of Child Care Provider) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3110).

An impact assessment has not been prepared in respect of this instrument as it is not expected that it will have any impact on business or the voluntary sector.
