M1

Section 1(1) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2), as amended by paragraph 22(b) of Schedule 4 to the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (c. 11), provides that “the Commissioners” means the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. Section 18(2) of the Customs and Excise Duties (General Reliefs) Act 1979 (c. 3) has the effect that, where section 13 refers to “the Commissioners”, those words bear the same meaning as in the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979. Section 2(5) of the Finance (No. 2) Act 1992 (c. 48) defines “the Commissioners” as the Commissioners of Customs and Excise. The functions of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise 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. Section 50(1) of that Act provides that, in so far as is appropriate in consequence of section 5, a reference in an enactment to the Commissioners of Customs and Excise shall be taken as a reference to the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. Section 49 of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (c. 22) defines “HMRC Commissioners” as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs for the purposes of sections 45 and 48.
