EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Income Tax (Construction Industry Scheme) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2045) which make provision for the construction industry scheme established by Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Finance Act 2004.

Regulation 32 of SI 2005/2045 allows particular failures relevant to any tax obligation to be excepted from construction industry scheme compliance test. These exceptions are set out under Table 3. Regulation 2 of this statutory instrument adds a further exception; the late, or non-payment of an amount under £100 owed under the Tax Acts or Taxes Management Act.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is forseen.
