EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Insurance Companies (Taxation of Reinsurance Business) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1730) ("the principal Regulations"). The principal Regulations make provision for the purposes of section 442A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (c. 1) in relation to the calculation of the investment return on an insurance policy or annuity contract which is the subject of a reinsurance arrangement.

Regulation 1 provides for citation, commencement and effect. Authority for the retrospective effect of the amendments is given by paragraph 58 of Schedule 8 to the Finance Act 1995 (c. 4).

Regulation 2 amends regulation 7 (prescribed percentage rates of return for the purposes of regulations 4 and 5) by substituting the formula in paragraph (7A)(c) of that regulation. The amendment is made in consequence of an error in the Insurance Companies (Taxation of Reinsurance Business) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2573).
