EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order states the annual chargeable amounts of the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings. Section 99(4) of the Finance Act 2013 (c. 29) (the Act) sets out the annual amounts of tax chargeable. The section was amended by sections 109 and 110 of the Finance Act 2014 and by section 70 of the Finance Act 2015, which specified the annual chargeable amounts for the chargeable period beginning 1 April 2015. An order under section 101(5) of the Act was not therefore required for that period.

Section 101(5) of the Act provides for the indexation of the annual chargeable amounts. This Order gives effect to the indexation of the annual chargeable amounts for the chargeable period 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2018.

The amounts of tax charged for each chargeable period beginning on or after 1 April are determined by reference to the “all items” Consumer Prices Index (CPI) as published by the Office of National Statistics. Where the September CPI (in this case the September 2016 CPI) is higher than it was for the previous September, the amounts of tax for the next chargeable period are increased by the same percentage increase, rounding down to the nearest multiple of £50. The September 2016 “all items” CPI as published by the Office of National Statistics was 1%2 meaning that the annual chargeable amounts for the chargeable period beginning 1st April 2017 have increased by comparison to the amounts for the chargeable period beginning 1st April 2016, as set out by the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (Indexation of Annual Chargeable Amounts) Order 20163.

Article 2 states the annual chargeable amounts by reference to the taxable value of the interest.
