About this statute

This segment changes several tax and customs rules, gives the Commissioners and the Treasury regulation-making powers, sets some tax rates and limits, and creates offences and penalties for non-compliance. The provision sets rules for calculating chargeable amounts in several chargeable-event cases, and gives inspectors power to require trustees of an employee share ownership trust to file a return with specified information. This provision revises several tax rules, including penalties, interest, exemptions, regulatory powers, and disclosure offences. This provision makes several VAT-related changes, including new rules for zero-rating and exemptions, refund claims, scheme registration changes, and powers to amend Schedule 6A. If a scheme employer has died, the personal representatives must notify the Board within one month, and they may appeal to the Special Commissioners against a Board refusal on an application under section 177A.
