This Order specifies Section 70 of the Finance Act 2002 and Paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Betting Duty and Betting Intermediary Duty Regulations 2015, for the purpose of applying to returns of betting duty and betting intermediary duty the requirement to file by electronic means. The Order appoints a date, the 1st August 2015, from which these returns must be filed by electronic means.

The legislation applies only to information supplied under a provision that is specified in an Order made by the Revenue Commissioners. Where a provision is so specified the legislation applies only to the information under that provision that is required to be supplied after the day appointed in the Order.
