Tax Credits Act 2002 section 69

Extent

Section 69 establishes the geographical extent of the Tax Credits Act 2002 across the United Kingdom.

• The Act applies to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
• Where the Act amends, repeals or revokes other legislation, those changes apply to the same territories as the original legislation they affect
• The Act has full UK-wide coverage, which is consistent with tax credits being a matter reserved to the UK Parliament
• This means the tax credits system operates uniformly across all parts of the United Kingdom
