(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations come into force on 3rd November 2017. They amend the list of "specified territories" in the Schedule to the Offshore Asset Moves Penalty (Specified Territories) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/866) ("the Specified Territories Regulations"). The Specified Territory Regulations specify the territories for the purposes of determining whether a "relevant offshore asset move" described in paragraph 4 of Schedule 21 to the Finance Act 2015 (c. 11) ("Schedule 21") has occurred. A person becomes liable to a penalty under Schedule 21 if that person is already liable to a penalty specified in paragraph 2 of Schedule 21 ("the original penalty") in respect of a "deliberate failure" (see paragraph 3 of Schedule 21) and, after the relevant time (determined in accordance with paragraph 5 of Schedule 21), that person makes a relevant offshore asset move (from a "specified territory" to a "non-specified territory") for the purpose of preventing or delaying the discovery by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs of the potential loss of income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax relating to the original penalty.

It remains an accurate summary of the impacts that apply to this statement.
