Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Sections 33A to 33F of the Capital Allowances Act 1990 (c. 1) (“the 1990 Act”), which were inserted by sections 94 to 97 of the Finance Act 1995 (c. 4), make provision in relation to balancing charges in respect of ship disposals taking place on or after 21st April 1994.

Schedule 35 to the Finance Act 1996 (“Schedule 35”) amends sections 33A to 33F of the 1990 Act. Paragraph 7(1) of Schedule 35 provides that, subject to paragraph7(2), the Schedule shall have effect in relation to any case in which the ship disposal occurs on or after 29th April 1996; and paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 35 provides that the Schedule shall not apply for the purposes of claims, assessments and adjustments made on or after 29th April 1996 but before such day as the Treasury may by order appoint.

This Order appoints 31st January 1997 as the day in question.
