Statute overview

About this statute

This provision changes several UK tax and duty rules, including biodiesel excise duty, betting and gaming duties, VAT invoicing rules, vehicle excise duty, and the corporation tax rate for 2003. The text sets deadlines for certain tax elections and filings, bars elections for ordinary shares in a venture capital trust, and includes several tax commencement, penalty, and stamp-duty rules. This provision gives HMRC and the Treasury powers to make tax and excise regulations, including rules for electronic communications and beer-duty changes, and it sets some penalties and exceptions. This provision mainly sets rules for pool betting duty, vehicle excise duty administration, and related amendments. It also creates an offence for the registered keeper of an unlicensed vehicle and sets related penalties and exceptions. The schedule’s exemptions do not apply to certain excluded disposals, and the investing company must meet a substantial shareholding test for a qualifying 12-month period that starts within two years before the disposal.
