Consequential and incidental amendment of other references to
functions of Accountant-General
3 A reference in a statutory provision in force, or in a legal
instrument in being, immediately before the commencement day to a
function of the Accountant-General under the Act is with effect from that
day a reference to the corresponding function of the Tax Commissioner
under the Act.

Accountant-General) under the Act was in being immediately before the
commencement day, nothing in this Act affects its continued existence
on and after that day notwithstanding the transfer of functions effected
by this Act, except that the right or obligation is on and after that day to
be enjoyed and enforced by or against the Tax Commissioner instead of
the Accountant-General.

Commencement
5 This Act comes into operation on such day as the Minister of
Finance may appoint by notice published in the Gazette ("the
commencement day").
