The Child Trust Funds (Amendment) Regulations 2009
These Regulations amend the Child Trust Funds Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1450: “the main Regulations”). The main effect of these Regulations is (a) to provide for government contributions to the child trust funds of eligible children at age 7, and (b) to amend the rules for eligibility to the further government contribution on the setting up of a child trust fund, to cater for cases where a Child Tax Credit claim (the main condition for eligibility to the further contribution: see section 9(5) of the Child Trust Funds Act 2004: “the 2004 Act”) is made more than 3 months after payment of Child Benefit in respect of the child began.
