Part 2, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Schedule to the Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) Act 2018 ("the 2018 Act") (c. 24) inserted a new Part 12ZD into the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4). This created an entitlement to statutory parental bereavement pay. The 2018 Act does not apply or extend to Northern Ireland.
Part 3, paragraph 33 of the Schedule to the 2018 Act provides that sections 132 and 133 of the Finance Act 1999 (c. 16) have effect as if statutory parental bereavement pay were a matter which is under the care and management of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs.
These Regulations make consequential amendments to secondary legislation relating to income tax, to insert references to statutory parental bereavement pay.
