The Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (Definition of Unit Trust Scheme) Regulations 1992
These Regulations provide for a scheme made by the Lord Chancellor in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 42(1) of the Administration of Justice Act 1982 to be excepted from the definition of unit trust scheme given by section 57(1) of the Finance Act 1946 (“section 57(1)”). As substituted by section 48(a) of the Finance Act 1987, section 57(1) provides that “unit trust scheme” has the same meaning as in the Financial Services Act 1986 (c. 60). These same provisions apply for defining a unit trust scheme for the purposes of stamp duty reserve tax by virtue of section 99(9) of the Finance Act 1986 (c. 41).
