These included rules about **excise** — taxes on locally made goods like alcohol, tobacco, and petrol.\n\nThis 1943 regulation simply cancels those 1940 excise regulations, likely because they were no longer needed or had been replaced by other tax laws. It is a \"housekeeping\" measure that tidies up the statute book by removing outdated wartime rules.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nThis affects anyone who was subject to the 1940 excise regulations, effectively ending those specific rules. In practice, this would have been manufacturers and wholesalers dealing with excisable goods during the war period."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1943l00031","history":"/api/acts/c1943l00031/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1943l00031/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1943l00031/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1943l00031/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1943l00031/documents"}}
