HA 37: Period of grace for new shareholder
or “New shareholders have 63 days to meet qualifying company requirements”
You could also call this:

“Directors and shareholders no longer need to make tax-related elections”

This section of the law, called ‘Elections by directors and shareholders required’, was part of the rules about how certain groups are taxed under the Income Tax Act 2007. However, it’s important for you to know that this part of the law doesn’t apply anymore. The government removed it on 1 April 2011. This means that from that date, whatever rules were in this section no longer affect how these groups are taxed.
