55K: Savings provision for existing levy regulations for services controlled under Commerce (Control of Natural Gas Services) Order 2005

You could also call this:

"Old rules still apply to some natural gas suppliers"

If you are a supplier of controlled services under the Commerce (Control of Natural Gas Services) Order 2005, some old regulations still apply to you. These regulations were made before a certain section of the law was repealed, and they apply to financial years before new levy regulations apply to you. You can find these old regulations in section 74 and the new levy regulations are made under section 53ZE.

When these old regulations apply to you, they include the costs of the Commission exercising its powers and performing its duties. The words used in these regulations have the same meaning as they did when they were first made.

The Commission's costs include things like the costs of enforcing obligations under this part of the law, and these costs apply to people like you who are suppliers of controlled services under the Commerce (Control of Natural Gas Services) Order 2005.
