The regulation 2(2) amendment secures that no tax disadvantage accrues to savers who are certified to their ISA account manager by Royal Bank of Scotland Group as having held an account affected by a technical incident within that group during the period 19 June to 6 July 2012 (to 22 July 2012 for Ulster Bank), who as a result withdrew sums from their cash ISAs in that period, and who later in the tax year re-subscribed up to the same total amount in a cash account held with the same ISA manager, . The regulation 2(3) amendment revokes the duty on an ISA account manager at the start of a tax year to give account investors notice about not subscribing to another ISA of the same type in that tax year, and about not exceeding the ISA subscription limits.
