The Taxation of Hybrid Capital Instruments (Amendment of Section 475C of the Corporation Tax Act 2009) Regulations 2019
These Regulations amend section 475C of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (c. 4) to ensure that the rules relating to hybrid capital instruments, introduced in Schedule 20 to the Finance Act 2019 (c. 1), work as intended.
