(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2157) so that a junior ISA is included as a product qualifying for simplified due diligence. The effect of the amendment is that a person required to comply with the Regulations need not apply full customer due diligence measures in relation to a transaction concerning a junior ISA in certain circumstances.
A junior ISA is a tax-free account that will assist parents and others to save for children, and is defined in the Individual Savings Account Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1988/1870), as amended by the Individual Savings Account (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/1780).
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. Further information is available on HM Treasury's website ( www.hm-treasury.gov.uk).
