(This note is not part of the Order)
The Banking Coordination (Second Council Directive) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3218) ("the 1992 Regulations") come into force on 1st January 1993 and give effect to the Second Council Directive 89/646/EEC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions (OJ No. L386, 30.12.89, p.1). Under the terms of the Directive, European authorised institutions which have established a branch in the United Kingdom will, from 1st January 1993, be able to accept deposits on the same basis as United Kingdom institutions authorised under the Banking Act 1987 (c. 22).
This Order, which also comes into force on 1st January 1993, prescribes a European deposit-taker (as defined in the 1992 Regulations) for the purposes of section 481(2)(f) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1998, so that interest paid to individual depositors by European authorised institutions operating a branch in the United Kingdom will be treated for tax in the same way as interest paid by United Kingdom deposit-takers.
