Tax Credits Act 2002 Schedule 4 paragraph 20

Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

Paragraph 20 of Schedule 4 introduces amendments to the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 as a consequence of the Tax Credits Act 2002.

• This is an introductory paragraph that signals forthcoming amendments to the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
• The amendments are consequential changes needed because of the new tax credits system introduced by the Tax Credits Act 2002.
• The paragraph does not itself make any substantive changes but acts as a gateway to the specific amendments that follow in subsequent paragraphs of Schedule 4.
• The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 needed updating to reflect the replacement of earlier tax credit schemes with the new child tax credit and working tax credit.
