These Regulations impose obligations on insurance companies which make payments of lump sum death benefits falling within section 273A(1) of the Finance Act 2004 (which was inserted by paragraph 49(1) of Schedule 10 to the Finance Act 2005).
Regulation 1 provides for the citation and commencement of the Regulations.
Regulation 2 provides that an insurance company which makes a payment of a lump sum death benefit falling within section 273A(1) is to be treated as the scheme administrator for the purposes of the special lump sum death benefit charge to income tax under section 206 of the 2004 Act. It further provides that the insurance company is liable to account for that charge under section 254(1) to (7) of that Act, and liable to penalties for failing to make a return or fraudulently or negligently making an incorrect return.
A regulatory impact assessment in respect of the provisions of Part 4 of the Finance Act 2004 and subordinate legislation under it was published by the Board of Inland Revenue on 8 April 2004, and is available on HM Revenue & Customs website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/ria/simplifying-pensions.pdf or (for hard copies) by writing to the Ministerial Correspondence Unit, 1st Floor, Ferrers House, PO Box 38, Castle Meadow Road, Nottingham, NG 2 1BB.
2004 c. 12. Section 273 A was inserted by paragraph 49(1) of Schedule 10 to the Finance Act 2005 (c. 7).
The functions of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue were transferred to the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs by section 5(2) of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (c. 11). Section 50 of that Act provides that insofar as it is appropriate in consequence of section 5 a reference, however expressed, to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue is to be read as a reference to the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
