Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 767: Power to amend references to the Directive by Order
2884.This section allows the Treasury to amend the provisions for this exemption where that is appropriate for implementing any amendment to, or replacement of, the Directive adopted after 8 April 2004, the date when the clauses for Finance Bill 2004 were finalised. The section is based on section 97 of FA 2004.
2885.Subsection (2) enables references in section 101 of the FA 2004 to be amended where necessary as a result of amendments to the Directive. This is necessary as section 101 of that Act has not been rewritten (see commentary on section 762).
2886.Section 97(4) of FA 2004, which allows a first Treasury order to take effect before the making of the order, has not been rewritten as it would apply only if the Directive had been amended before Royal Assent to Finance Bill 2004 in a way that affected Chapter 6 of Part 3 of that Act.
