EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations specify the rates of interest which have effect for the purposes of sections 101 and 102 of the Finance Act 2009 which deal respectively with interest on sums payable to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) and interest on sums payable by HMRC.

The interest rates set by the Regulations are determined by reference to the official bank rate as announced at the most recent meeting of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee.

Regulation 3 sets the interest rate on sums payable to HMRC.

Regulation 4 sets the interest rate on sums payable by HMRC and provides a minimum rate of interest.

Regulation 5 provides for initial rates of interest that will apply on the coming into force of these Regulations.

Regulation 6 provides that where the respective interest rates change, the revised rate has effect from the date of the change in relation to interest which began to run before the effective date of the change as well as interest beginning to run on or after the date of the change.

Regulation 7 revokes the earlier instrument which made similar provision.

A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available through the HMRC website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/better-regulation/ia.htm and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
