Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend regulation 7 of the Income Tax (Definition of Unit Trust Scheme) Regulations 1988 (S.I.1988/267) so as to extend the descriptions of a charitable unit trust scheme in that regulation to funds held by the Church of Scotland Trust, the Church of Scotland General Trustees and the Church of Scotland Investors Trust under the provisions of the Church of Scotland (Properties and Investments) Order 1994. The effect is that such schemes are excepted from the tax treatment of unauthorised unit trust schemes imposed by section 469 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
