EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Reporting of Savings Income Information Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3297) (“the principal Regulations”) implemented part of Council Directive 2003/48/EC of 3rd June 2003 on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments (“the 2003 Directive”) (OJ No L 157, 26.6.03, p38). The 2003 Directive has been amended by Council Directive 2006/98/EC adapting certain Directives in the field of taxation, by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania (“the 2006 Directive”) (OJ No. L363, 20.12.2006, p.129).

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by making additions to the list of public authorities by whom a further issue of negotiable debt securities will have the effect of treating the whole issue as a money debt for the purpose of reporting under the 2003 Directive.

A transposition note setting out how these Regulations implement the requirements of the 2006 Directive is available at www.hmrc.gsi.gov.uk.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
