(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations correct an error in the Tax Credits (Decisions and Appeals) (Amendment) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2570). The latter Regulations made amendments, for the purposes of working families' tax credit and disabled person’s tax credit (“tax credits”) only, to the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/991).
The completed copy of S.I. 1999/2570 omitted regulation 5(b)(i), which amended regulation 2(b) of S.I. 1999/991, for tax credits purposes. These Regulations correct the omission, with effect from the coming into force of these Regulations.
1992 c. 53; the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1992 was relevantly amended by paragraph 121 of Schedule 7 to the Social Security Act 1998 (c. 14).
1992 c. 5; section 5(1) was amended by section 74 of the Social Security Act 1998 (c. 14).
