Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 17th October 2002, amend the Lottery Duty Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/3212).
They provide that the time when a ticket or chance is taken in a lottery that is part of the National Lottery shall be treated as the day on which the lottery takes place. This does not apply to a ticket or chance where, before it is taken, it has been determined whether or not it will win.
