VCM - Recent changes to this manual
Below are details of the amendments that were published on 13 September 2007 (see the update index for all updates).
| Section | Title and details of update |
| Various - see VCM10075 | The majority of changes
arise from the rewrite of the legislation covering the EIS and VCTs
as part of the ongoing Tax Law Rewrite programme.
The substance of the legislation, and the guidance on it,
remain the same.
Legislation that was previously in the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (ICTA) is now in the Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA). These amendments are solely to cover the new ITA statutory references and some terms which have changed by the rewrite. Chapters covering VC loss relief (VCM45000 to 49000) will be updated during autumn. We have also taken the opportunity to clarify and update some of the guidance. |
