EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings Avoidance Schemes (Prescribed Descriptions of Arrangements) Regulations 2013 (“the principal Regulations”). The principal Regulations prescribe arrangements which enable or might be expected to enable any person to obtain a tax advantage in relation to the annual tax on enveloped dwellings and which are required to be notified to HMRC under Part 7 of the Finance Act 2004 (c.12).

Regulation 2 amends regulation 4 of the principal Regulations so as to prescribe arrangements if any element of them results in the taxable value of the chargeable interest being reduced to the lowest value shown in the right hand column of the table in section 99(4) of the Finance Act 2013 (c.29) or less.
