(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Regulations amend the Wholesaling of Controlled Liquor Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/1516) (“the principal Regulations”).
They substitute a new regulation 20 (interpretation of Part 5-Penalties) and amend regulation 25 (forfeiture) so that they identify the specific requirements contained in the principal Regulations which, if contravened, will render a person liable to a penalty and make subject to forfeiture any dutiable alcoholic liquor in that person’s possession, custody or control.
A Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for this Instrument as it contains no substantive changes to tax policy.
1979 c. 4; section 88E was inserted by the Finance Act 2015 (c. 11), section 54(3). The power to make regulations under that section is conferred on “the Commissioners” and, by virtue of section 4(3), “the Commissioners” has the same meaning as given in the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2). Section 1(1) of that Act (as amended by the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (c. 11), Schedule 4, paragraphs 20 and 22 (b)) defines “the Commissioners” as “the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs”.
