Notes:
[1]
1979 c.2. Section 100H was inserted by the Finance Act 1991(c.31), Schedule 4. Section 1(1) (amended by the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005(c.11), Schedule 4, paragraph 22) defines "the Commissioners" (as meaning the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs). The functions of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise were transferred to the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs by section 5(2) of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005. Section 50(1) of that Act provides that a reference to the Commissioners of Customs and Excise shall be taken as a reference to the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.back
