The Wales Act 2014 (Commencement No. 2) Order 2018
Article 3 of this Order appoints 24th July 2018 as the day on which sections 8 and 9 of the Wales Act 2014 (c. 29) (the “2014 Act”) come into force. Section 8 of the 2014 Act amends section 116A(1) of the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32) (“GOWA 2006”) and inserts sections 116D to 116K into that Act. Section 9 of the 2014 Act amends section 6 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (c. 3) (“ITA 2007”) and inserts sections 6B and 11B into that Act. These amendments give the National Assembly for Wales the power to resolve to set one or more Welsh rates of income tax for Welsh taxpayers (“a Welsh rate resolution”).
