Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999 Schedule 4

Consequential amendments

Schedule 4 updates stamp duty references in fifteen other enactments by replacing citations of the pre-consolidation legislation with the equivalent provisions of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act 1999.

• The Schedule is purely consequential — it amends cross-references in other Acts and makes no substantive change to the law.
• References to the Stamp Act 1891, the Stamp Duties Management Act 1891 and various Finance Acts are replaced with the corresponding sections of the SDCA 1999.
• The affected statutes range across company law, building societies, trustee savings banks, electricity supply, postal services, solicitors' regulation and the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.
• The Schedule operates by setting out, in a three-column table, the enactment being amended, the words to be replaced and the words to be substituted.
