2002 c. 21. Section 67 defines “prescribed” as meaning “prescribed by regulations”.
By virtue of section 65(2), the powers in sections 4(1) and 24(7) were exercisable by the Board. The Board is defined in section 67 as the Commissioners of Inland Revenue however expressed. The functions of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue were transferred to the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs by section 5(2) of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (c. 11). Section 50(1) of that Act provides that, insofar as is appropriate, in consequence of section 5, a reference to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue shall be taken as a reference to the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
