Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Regulations amend the Income Tax (Pay As You Earn) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2682) (“the PAYE Regulations”).

Regulation 2(1) of the Regulations amends the definition of Inland Revenue in regulation 2 of the PAYE Regulations to include the Commissioners of His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs as well officers of His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. As a consequence of this amendment, Commissioners will be able to carry out some functions previously only carried out by officers.

Regulation 2(2) of the Regulations makes a consequential amendment to regulation 198(1) of the PAYE regulations so that it does not refer to the Commissioners twice.

A Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for this instrument as it contains no substantive changes to tax policy.
