CaseChat Overview and Summary
The Australian Capital Territory enacted the Revenue Legislation Repeal Act 2005, which repeals several pieces of revenue legislation, including the Financial Institutions Duty Act 1987 and the Financial Institutions Duty Regulation 1990. The act also amends the Debits Tax Act 1997 and the Credit Act 1985. The act applies from the day after its notification, with the provisions automatically commencing on the notification day. The act repeals certain parts of the Debits Tax Act 1997 and Credit Act 1985, and also amends the State Bank of South Australia (Transfer of Undertaking) Act 1994.

The court also found that the act was consistent with the purpose of the repealed Acts and that it did not create any ambiguity or inconsistency with the relevant Acts.
The final orders of the court were that the Revenue Legislation Repeal Act 2005 was valid and effective in repealing the relevant sections of the Debits Tax Act 1997, Credit Act 1985, and the State Bank of South Australia (Transfer of Undertaking) Act 1994.
