EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to Article 98 of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 ("the 1986 Order") consequent upon Part 4 of the Finance Act 2003 (c. 14) and the abolition of stamp duty, except on instruments relating to stock or marketable securities (see section 125 of that Act).
Regulation 1 provides for the citation, commencement and extent of these Regulations.
Regulation 2 makes amendments to Article 98 of the 1986 Order. The purpose of the amendments is to remove the requirement to stamp the prescribed particulars of a contract which a company is required, under paragraph (3) of that Article, to deliver to the registrar of companies.
These Regulations do not impose new costs on business.
