Hi all,
This instrument was registered on 13/05/21, but then repealed on 15/05/21 - it is not longer in force.
Is this normal? Does this mean that there was authority for 2 days to apply for s/c 408 nil VAC and for the tourism and hospitality sector. But now there is not authority and therefore application can not be made? I find it a bit strange, why would they do that?
