Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which come into force on 17th October 2002, amend the Lottery Duty (Instant Chances) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2815).

An instant lottery chance in a lottery that forms part of the National Lottery is treated as being taken for the purposes of payment of lottery duty when the batch of which it forms part is settled. These Regulations amend one of the rules determining the time when a batch is settled from fifteen days after it was first activated, to thirty days.
