269CG The “start-up period”

(1) In this Chapter the “start-up period”, in relation to a company (“company C”), means the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which company C first begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity (“the start-up day”). This is subject to the following provisions of this section. (2) If on the start-up day— (a) company C is a member of a group, (b) there are one or more other members of the group that have carried on a relevant regulated activity while a member of the group, and (c) none of those members first began to carry on such an activity more than 5 years before the start-up day, company C's start-up period is the period beginning with the start-up day and ending with the relevant group period. (3) The “relevant group period”, in relation to a group, means the period of 5 years beginning with the earliest day on which any member of the group first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity. (4) If on the start-up day— (a) company C is a member of a group, (b) there are one or more other members of the group that have carried on a relevant regulated activity while a member of the group, and (c) any of those members first began to carry on such an activity more than 5 years before the start-up day, company C does not have a start-up period. (5) This subsection applies if— (a) on a day falling within company C's start-up period (“the relevant day”), company C becomes a member of a group, (b) one or more of the members of the group which on the relevant day carry on a relevant regulated activity first began to do so before the beginning of company C's start-up period, and (c) the relevant regulated activities carried on by company C do not form a significant proportion of the relevant regulated activities carried on immediately after the relevant day by the members of the group as a whole. (6) Where subsection (5) applies, company C's start-up period— (a) in the case where any of the members of the group first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity more than 5 years before the relevant day, ends immediately before the relevant day; (b) in any other case, ends with the relevant group period. (7) This subsection applies if— (a) on a day falling within company C's start-up period (“the relevant day”), another company that carries on a relevant regulated activity (“the new member”) becomes a member of a group of which company C is a member, (b) the new member first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity before the beginning of company C's start-up period, and (c) the relevant regulated activities carried on by the new member form a significant proportion of the relevant regulated activities carried on immediately after the relevant day by the members of the group as a whole. (8) Where subsection (7) applies, company C's start-up period— (a) in the case where the new member first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity more than 5 years before the relevant day, ends immediately before the relevant day; (b) in any other case, ends with the relevant group period. (9) Any reference in this section to being, or becoming, a member of a group includes a reference to being, or becoming, a member of a partnership; and references to the “relevant group period” are to be read accordingly. (10) Section 269CL contains provision for determining when a company first begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
