EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Regulations provide for 6th April 2018 as the appointed day to commence paragraph 3 of Schedule 11 to the Finance Act 2017 (c. 10). That paragraph amends paragraph 1 of Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (c. 11) to add soft drink industry levy to the list of taxes to which Schedule 24 imposes a penalty for careless or deliberate errors in returns.

A Tax Information and Impact note has not been prepared for the Regulations as they give effect to previously announced policy and are appointed day regulations.
