(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 64 of the Finance Act 1976 provides that in certain circumstances a person employed in director's or higher-paid employment is chargeable to income tax in respect of the benefit of a car made available for private use by reason of his employment. The cash equivalent of such a benefit is, subject to the provisions of the section, to be ascertained from Tables A, B and C in Part I of Schedule 7 to that Act.
This Order, with effect from 6th April 1988, substitutes such Tables for those substituted by S.I. 1986/703.
1976 c. 40; relevant amendments to section 64 were made by section 51(2) of the Finance Act 1980 (c. 48), section 68(3) of the Finance Act 1981 (c. 35), and section 46(2) and (3) of the Finance Act 1982 (c. 39).
