This Order appoints 25th January 2011 as the day on which sub-paragraphs (3), (5), (6) and (12) of paragraph 2 and paragraphs 4 and 6 of Schedule 11 to the Finance (No. 3) Act 2010 (c. 33) come into force.

Those provisions make minor amendments to Schedule 56 to the Finance Act 2009 (c. 10) in relation to income tax. Schedule 56 to that Act provides for a penalty regime for failure to make payments of certain amounts of tax.
