Without limiting the
operation of the Interpretation Act 1984 , the provisions of the
principal Act as in force immediately before the commencement of this Act,
insofar as they apply to a period before that commencement, continue to have
effect in relation to the imposition of pay-roll tax under the principal Act
in respect of wages paid or payable for that period and the assessment,
collection and payment of any pay-roll tax imposed in respect of such wages.
