(This note is not part of the Order)
By virtue of the Income Tax (Building Societies) Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/482, amended by S.I. 1987/844, 1988/1011 and 1989/36) a building society is required to pay to the Inland Revenue in respect of payments of dividends and interest an amount representing income tax on certain sums calculated in part at the basic rate and in part at "the reduced rate".
Under the provisions of section 479 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 ("the Act") a deposit-taker on making payments of interest in respect of a relevant deposit is liable to account for and pay an amount representing income tax on such payments. The amount is calculated by applying "the composite rate" determined in accordance with section 483 of the Act.
Section 483 of the Act provides that the Treasury shall by order made by statutory instrument determine a rate in each year of assessment which for the following year of assessment shall be the reduced rate (for building societies) and the composite rate (for deposit-takers). This Order determines the rate at 22 per cent. for the year 1990-�91. The rate for the years 1985-�86 and 1986-�87 was 25.25 per cent. (S.I. 1984/1674 and 1985/1836), for the year 1987-�88 24.75 per cent. (S.I. 1986/2147), for the year 1988/89 23.25 per cent. (S.I. 1987/2075) and for the year 1989-�90 21.75 per cent. (S.I. 1988/2145).
