Entitlement and conditions

  • 11Article 271 receives the words “except the goods and services tax under article 246A,” after “in those articles”.

Section 11 inserts an exception for GST under article 246A into article 271. The new words follow “in those articles” and expressly exclude that GST from the relevant wording of article 271. The amendment operates through this exception, so the surrounding article must be read with the specific qualification for goods and services tax.[1]
