(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Savings Stock Register Regulations 1976.
First, they revoke regulation 51, which provided that certain warrants and powers of attorney should be exempt from stamp duty, as those documents are no longer liable to stamp duty. Secondly, they amend regulation 57, which imposes an obligation of secrecy, to make it subject to section 20(4)(b) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9) (persons who may be required to produce documents relating to liability of taxpayer arising from business) which was extended to cover the Director of Savings by section 126 of the Finance Act 1988 (c. 39).
1972 c. 65; section 3 was amended by paragraph 19 of Schedule 5 and Schedule 6 to the Trustee Savings Banks Act 1976 (c. 4).
S.I. 1976/2012, to which there are amendments not relevant to these Regulations.
