Regulation 16 Transitional provisions: special casesI1

United Kingdom

(1)

The amendments made by this Part shall not apply in relation to a reporting period which ended before the date these Regulations come into force if the manager of a transitional fund so elects by notice in writing given with the notice under regulation 15(1).

(2)

If no notice is given under regulation 15(1) or if paragraph (3) applies, a transitional fund shall be treated as having given a statement under regulation 53(1)(k)(i) and be treated from the time that the fund first became a reporting fund as not operating equalisation arrangements and as intending to make adjustments on the basis of reported income.

(3)

This paragraph applies if—

(a)

a transitional fund has given a statement that it does not intend to operate equalisation arrangements and intends to make income adjustments on the basis of accounting income (see regulation 53(1)(l)), and

(b)

HMRC do not consider that it is reasonable to expect that the difference between the amount of reported income per unit calculated using this method and the amount of reported income per unit calculated on the basis of reported income will be 10% or less of the latter of those amounts.

(4)

Where paragraph (3) applies HMRC must give notice to the manager of the transitional fund within 28 days of receiving the notice under regulation 15(1).

(5)

The notice under paragraph (4) must state that paragraph (2) of this regulation applies to the fund.
