(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Gaming Duty Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/2196), regulation 5, the amount of payments on account. They substitute a new Table for the Table of gaming duty rates to be applied to the gross gaming yield in a quarter. The new rates apply in the case of payments on account of gaming duty for any quarter that ends on or after 31st October 1998.
1997 c. 16; section 10 defines "gaming duty"; section 15(2) provides for sections 10 to 14 and Schedule 1 to be construed as one with the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2) and section 1(1) of that Act defines "the Commissioners"; section 15(3) defines "accounting period".
S.I. 1997/2196.
