6 The *Revenue Laws Amendment (Tax Relief) Act 2004* Pt. 4 reads as follows:
Part 4 — Reassessment
20. Certain instruments to be assessed again
***Commissioner*** means the Commissioner of State Revenue appointed in accordance with the *Taxation Administration Act 2003* section 6;
***duty*** means duty payable under the *Stamp Act 1921*;
***former provisions*** means the provisions of the *Stamp Act 1921* that are amended by the *Revenue Laws Amendment (Tax Relief) Act (No. 2) 2004* Part 4, as those provisions were enacted immediately before 29 October 2004;
***instrument*** means a conveyance or transfer of property or a contract, agreement or other instrument that is chargeable with duty as a conveyance or transfer of property;
***new provisions*** means the provisions of the *Stamp Act 1921* as amended by the *Revenue Laws Amendment (Tax Relief) Act (No. 2) 2004* Part 4.
(2) The Commissioner must make an assessment under the new provisions of the duty on any instrument —
(a) which was first executed on or after 29 October 2004; and
(b) on which duty has been assessed under the former provisions.
(3) Subsection (2) does not authorise the Commissioner to make an assessment under the new provisions of the duty on an instrument to the extent (if any) to which the former provisions apply in relation to it under the *Revenue Laws Amendment (Tax Relief) Act (No. 2) 2004* section 9(2)(b).
(4) The *Taxation Administration Act 2003* sections 18 and 54(1)(a) apply in relation to an assessment under subsection (2) as if it were a reassessment under section 16 of that Act.
7 The amendment in the *Duties Legislation Amendment Act 2008* s. 46 is not included because the section it sought to amend had been replaced by the *Revenue Laws Amendment Act (No. 2) 2008* s. 7 before the amendment was to come into operation.
