(This note is not part of the )
This Order disapplies paragraph 22A of Schedule 22 to the Finance Act 2000 for the financial year 2006 (which commences on 1st April 2006: see section 834 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988).
Paragraph 8 of Schedule 7 to the Finance Act 2005 introduced (to comply with European Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport) a general requirement that ships entering the Tonnage Tax regime in future should be Community-flagged. Paragraphs 22B(2) and 22C of Schedule 22 to the Finance Act 2000 give the Treasury power to disapply that rule on a year-by-year basis, provided (in the case of financial year 2006 onwards) that the percentage of the tonnage tax fleet which is Community-flagged has not decreased. This Order disapplies that rule for financial year 2006.
This Order imposes no costs on business.
2000 c. 17; paragraphs 22A to 22C were inserted by paragraph 8 of Schedule 7 to the Finance Act 2005 (c. 7).
