Tax Credits Act 2002 Schedule 3 paragraph 24

Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992

Schedule 3 paragraph 24 introduces consequential amendments to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 arising from the Tax Credits Act 2002.

• This paragraph signals that changes are being made to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992
• The amendments are consequential, meaning they update the 1992 Act to reflect the introduction of the new tax credits regime under the Tax Credits Act 2002
• Paragraph 24 is an introductory provision — it does not itself make substantive changes but tells the reader that the paragraphs which follow will amend the 1992 Act
• This is a standard legislative device used when one Act needs to update references or provisions in an earlier Act
