Statutory Instruments Income Tax (Undistributed Income of Certain Companies) Regulations, 1974. S.I. No. 329 of 1974. Under the Finance Act, 1974, sur-tax was abolished with effect from 1974-75 (section 10) and replaced by higher rates of income tax (section 3(2)). Consequently, regulations referring to sur-tax are no longer appropriate. Such regulations existed in relation to section 530 of, and Schedule 16 to, the Income Tax, 1967, which were designed to prevent the avoidance of sur-tax by the withholding from distribu- tion of income of certain companies. The present Regulations, which deal with the serving of notices for the purpose of these provisions, take account of the replacement of sur-tax by the higher rates of income tax.
