OC 3: Choosing to become FDPA company
or “FDPA companies no longer exist: Option removed in 2017”

You could also call this:

“A company can no longer choose to stop being an FDPA company”

This section used to explain what happens when a company decides to stop being an FDPA company. However, it has been removed from the law. As of 1 April 2017, this part of the Income Tax Act 2007 no longer applies. If you need information about FDPA companies, you might need to look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
