Regulation 2 of these regulations amends paragraph (8) of regulation 12 of the CTF Regulations (qualifying investments for an account), so that a deposit account or share account which is a qualifying investment will not be connected with another investment for the purposes of regulation 12(8) of the CTF Regulations where both are held in an ISA account, junior ISA account or a child trust fund.
