EXPLANATORY NOTE.
Under Section 28 of the Finance Act, 1964 , which was brought into force as from 1st April, 1966, by order of the Minister for Finance ( S.I. No. 58 of 1966 ) Corporation Profits Tax is, like Income Tax, assessed by Inspectors of Taxes and collected by the Collector-General. The present Regulations, which supersede Regulations dated 11th August, 1920, secure, as regards assessment, appeals and collection, the application in relation to Corporation Profits Tax of machinery provisions similar to those which apply in relation to Income Tax.
