Customs and Inland Revenue Act, 1891.—By section 4 the Act
of 1890 is amended as follows:—
1. Sub-section 2 of section 26 of the Customs and Inland
Revenue Act, 1890, is hereby amended by the substitution of the
words "where the annual value of each dwelling shall not amount to
£20 "for the words "for persons at rents not exceeding for each
dwelling the rate of 7s. 6d. a week, and occupied only by persons paying
such rents."
2. In the case of any house originally built, or adapted by
additions or alterations, and used, so far as the same is used as a
dwelling house, for the sole purpose of providing separate dwellings at
an annual value not exceeding forty pounds for each dwelling, the
Commissioners acting in the execution of the Acts relating to inhabited
house duties shall, upon production of such a certificate as is mentioned
in the said sub-section, grant relief by confining the assessment to the
annual value of the house exclusive of every dwelling therein of an
annual value below twenty pounds (if any) and by reducing the rate of
duty to three-pence.
3. The provisions in the said sub-section in relation to a certificate
shall apply to a certificate to be produced under this section.
