Legal effect and current-law check
Sections 100–102 of the Revenue Administration Act, 2016 (Act 915) govern statutory practice notes: a practice note binds the Commissioner-General until revoked but does not bind a taxpayer. A later inconsistent enactment or practice note displaces it to the extent of the inconsistency. This record therefore identifies the note’s own authority and date; the current consolidated law must still be checked.
