Regulation 3 of S.I. 1997/1154 provides that the Tax Acts have effect in relation to open-ended investment companies as they have effect in relation to authorised unit trusts. References in those Acts to companies are (by virtue of that provision) to have effect in relation to open-ended investment companies as they have effect in relation to authorised unit trusts.
