Furthermore, the LBMA Market agreement with HMRC dated 12 June 1991 (also adopted by the LPPM) provides additional clarification of the TMO. Together, the Terminal Markets Order and the Investment Gold Directive relieve nearly all transactions traded on the two markets from a positive rate of VAT.

Legislative Background. Part I of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 established two industrial pollution control systems:  Local Air Pollution Control (LAPC), which in England and Wales is enforced by Local Authorities (district, borough and unitary authorities, and Port Health Authorities). This controls releases of prescribed substances from some 19,000+ specified industrial processes into the air.  Integrated Pollution Control, enforced by the Environment Agency in England and Wales. This controls releases of prescribed substances from industry to land, water and air. Part I of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 has been replaced by regulations under the Pollution Prevention and Control Xxx 0000 transferring processes automatically into what is called Local Air Pollution Prevention and Control (LAPPC). But approximately 400 processes have transferred into a new integrated pollution control system, known as Local Authority Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (LA-IPPC). The processes regulated under LAPC and LAPPC are known as “Part B processes/installations” and those regulated under LA-IPPC are known as “Part A2 installations”. The legislation requires operators of Part B and A2 processes/installations to have a permit from the Local Authority regulator. Permits must contain conditions aimed at ensuring that Best Available Techniques (BAT) are used to prevent and minimise relevant emissions. The existing LAPPC and LA-IPPC regimes were merged into a new Environmental Permitting regime in April 2008. There were few differences between the Pollution Prevention and Control and Environmental Protection Regulations and this did not significantly affect the survey.

Legislative Background. (CA STATE) In 2016, California enacted the Medical Marijuana Regulations and Safety Act (MMRSA), later renamed the Medical Cannabis Regulations and Safety Act (MCRSA), which implemented a regulatory structure for dispensary and cultivation facility licensing. This law finally set forth a safe harbor for California cannabis entrepreneurs that allowed for zero criminal or civil repercussions for cannabis business operators that were operating within the confines of the law. In November of 2016, California voters passed the Adult Use Marijuana Act (AUMA) in California, which will work in concert with the MCRSA. According to the State, it is expected that both laws will be implemented by the State in early 2018 and the MCRSA is already in effect meaning cannabis operators are subject to and protected by those laws as long as they are abiding by them. (City of Los Angeles) In concert with the State laws above, on March 7, 2017 voters in the City of Los Angeles voted to approve Measure M, a citizen sponsored measure also referred to as the Los Angeles Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (“LAMRS”). Measure M allows the City of Los Angeles to issue permits for a variety of commercial cannabis activities. Under LAMRS the City is authorized to issue permits for the following activities: Cultivation, Dispensaries, Manufacturing, Testing, and Distribution. Permit Timelines: LAMRS requires the City to release an application for manufacturing permits within 90 days of March 8, 2017; and Applications for distribution, cultivation, testing, and transportation must be released by January 31, 2018. The law allows currently licensed dispensaries to apply for and receive dispensary and cultivation (indoor up to 22,000 SF) permits on existing premises before anyone else. The City has discretion to determine total number of dispensary, cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution, and transportation permits it would like to issue; and 134 currently licensed dispensaries do not count against any cap set by the City. (City of Desert Hot Springs) In concert with the State laws above, in 2015-2016 the City of Desert Hot Springs made history by being one of the first California cities to permit commercial cannabis cultivation. A valid local canna-business license is a prerequisite to a state license under California’s Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act and a verified lease of a properly zoned facility is a prerequisite to obtaining a local license. The City of Desert H...
