EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order amends the references in section 97(1) of the Finance Act 2004 (c. 12) and section 757(2) of the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 (c. 5) to the Council Directive on a common system of taxation applicable to interest and royalty payments made between associated companies of different member States following the adoption of two Council Directives which amend that Directive.

The authority for the retrospective effect of article 2 is section 97(4) of the Finance Act 2004. The effect of article 2 is limited because section 97 of the Finance Act 2004 has been repealed and rewritten by the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005. Paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 carries forward the effect of the amendment made under sections 97(3) and (4) of the Finance Act 2004 so that the amendment operates from 1st May 2004 onwards.

This Order does not impose new costs on business.
