140.Paragraph 1 applies the accounts provisions in sections 2 and 4 from the financial year 2012-13 onwards, i.e. from the start of the Sovereign Grant.
141.Paragraph 2 provides transitional arrangements for the first year in which the formula for Sovereign Grant in section 6 is to apply, which is 2013-14.
142.Paragraph 3 makes transitional provisions for the civil list, which is paid by calendar year. The civil list is to continue for the first three months of 2012 until financial year 2012-13 begins on 1 April 2012. The saving here allows adjustments to be made to payments made in respect of those three months after the repeal of the civil list provisions.

146.Paragraph 7 provides that any property held by the Royal Trustees will form part of the new Reserve Fund.
147.Paragraph 8 provides that amendments to section 5 of the Civil List Act 1837 and section 3 of the Civil List Act 1952 remain in force.
