EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 29 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (“the 1982 Act”) provides that metal dealers with an annual turnover of more than £100,000 can apply to the licensing authority for an exemption warrant. An exemption warrant granted to a metal dealer under section 29 excuses the metal dealer from the requirement to hold a metal dealers’ licence and the other requirements placed on metal dealers in sections 30 to 36 of the 1982 Act.
Section 29(1) requires a licensing authority to grant an exemption warrant if the metal dealer can produce to them an auditor’s certificate which shows that the metal dealer’s annual turnover exceeded £100,000 in a financial year ending in the period of 18 months immediately prior to the production of the certificate.
This Order changes the sum specified in section 29(1) from £100,000 to £1,000,000 in respect of all applications made to the licensing authority on or after the coming into force of this Order.
