Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Authorised Investment Funds Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/964) (“the principal Regulations”). They revoke those parts of the principal Regulations which provide that the obligation to make a deduction by way of income tax from an interest distribution does not apply if the non-liability condition is met (see regulation 8). These Regulations also make a number of consequential and minor amendments to the principal Regulations.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
