Statute overview

About this statute

This Act sets and changes multiple tax and duty rates, thresholds, and relief rules for specified tax years, and gives the Treasury power to make some related regulations. This provision mainly sets tax-administration rules, including VAT refund handling, HMRC’s Charter duties, and rules for publishing information about certain tax penalties. The provision includes tax repayment timing, public-fund accounting duties, and several Treasury powers to amend rates or make orders, with some changes subject to House of Commons approval. The provision sets deadlines for certain relief claims, caps some deductions at £50,000, and says companies are not entitled to land remediation relief where the land’s contaminated or derelict state is attributable to a third party with a relevant interest. This Schedule mainly amends tax rules for car and motor cycle hire, company distributions, stock lending insolvency cases, and related election deadlines.
