Regulations 3 to 5 amend regulations 84(5)(e) and 93(15) and insert regulations 84(5)(f) and (g) and 93(16) so that, when applying section 839 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (c. 1) ("the Taxes Act"), a company is not connected with another company for the purposes of regulations 84 and 93 only because both are under the control of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown, a government department or a Northern Ireland department.
Regulation 6 substitutes regulation 94B(4) so that, for the purposes of regulation 94B(2), any question whether one person is connected with another will be determined in accordance with section 839 of the Taxes Act but subject to the qualification that a company is not connected with another company for the purposes of that regulation only because both are under the control of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown, a government department or a Northern Ireland department.
