Although section 33(1) of the Betting and Gaming Duties Act 1981 (c. 63) provides that in that Act “the Commissioners” means the Commissioners of Customs and Excise, the functions of those Commissioners 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 the latter 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.
