Explanatory note

These Regulations appoint 6th June 2022 as the day on which Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2022 (c. 3) comes into force.

Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2022 extends the existing exemptions from capital gains tax and income tax for transfers of dormant assets, to take account of the expanded scheme under the Dormant Assets Act 2022 (c. 5). The Schedule also provides a new exemption for reclaim amounts in respect of individual investment plans and contains a time limited power to make provision for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts and Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (c. 12) in relation to dormant assets.

A Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for these Regulations as they give effect to previously announced policy and are appointed day regulations.
