These Regulations, which come into force on 17th October 2002, amend the Lottery Duty Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/3212).

They provide that the time when a ticket or chance is taken in a lottery that is part of the National Lottery shall be treated as the day on which the lottery takes place. This does not apply to a ticket or chance where, before it is taken, it has been determined whether or not it will win.

1993 c. 34; section 40(1) defines “the Commissioners” as meaning the Commissioners of Customs and Excise and “regulations” as meaning regulations made by the Commissioners. S.I. 1993/3212, amended by S.I. 2001/4021.
