TTM02190 - Further opportunity to elect: Further windows of opportunity 1 July 2005 to 31 December 2006 and 1 June 2023 to 30 November 2024
By means of Treasury orders made on 6 June 2005 and 9 May 2023 further windows for elections into tonnage tax were allowed. Elections made during the new window will have effect in accordance with the general rule in FA00/SCH22/PARA12 (1).
There are a number of exceptions to the general rule:
- See TTM02210 for backdating the date of entry
- See TTM02220 for deferring the date of entry for one AP
- See TTM02230 for deferring the date of entry for two APs
A tonnage tax election made during the new window cannot have effect in relation to an accounting period beginning before 1 January 2005. If the general rule would otherwise produce that effect, the election has effect instead from the beginning of the accounting period following that in which it is made.
