AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This statutory instrument makes technical updates to several UK-wide Acts and regulations to reflect the new regulatory framework established by the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022. It amends legislation concerning VAT, income tax, higher education, charities and seafarers’ wages so that references to previous Welsh further and higher education bodies are updated to the new Commission for Tertiary Education and Research (CTER). The Order comes into force on 1 April 2026 and ensures legal consistency across the statute book following the creation of the single Welsh tertiary regulator.
