Editor’s note: This version of chapter 8 of this title is included here for reference only, as at the time of this codification the provisions of section 87, that set forth codified section 934 of PL 17-50, as amended by section 1 of PL 17-83, made this Act null and void.

Section 1 of PL 17-83 states:

Section 1. Section 934 of title 54 of the Code of the Federated States of Micronesia, as enacted by Public Law No. 17-50, is hereby amended to read as follows:

§ 934. If any of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia have not passed into law value added tax legislation as of midnight July 19, 2013, this act is null and void.

Section 83 of PL 17-50 added a subchapter XIII of chapter 8 entitled Final Provisions.

§ 893. Regulations.

(1) The Secretary shall, subject to approval of the President, prescribe and have printed reasonable regulations for the enforcement of this chapter and such regulations shall have the force and effect of law if they are not in conflict with the express provisions of this chapter or other laws of the FSM.

(2) The regulations shall also provide for matters prescribed under the chapter to be made by regulation.

Editor’s note: The sections of this chapter were numbered such that all of the sections were not numbered in the eight hundreds, but were also numbered in the nine hundreds. This created a problem because some of the nine hundred section numbers were already designated by chapter 9 of this title. This section was therefore renumbered from 931 to 893 to allow all of the sections in this chapter to have eight hundred section numbers.

§ 894. Transition.

(1) Subject to this section, this chapter applies to any act or omission occurring, or any taxation assessment made, before this chapter came into force.

(2) Any appeal or prosecution commenced before this chapter came into force shall be continued and disposed of as if this chapter had not come into force.

(3) If the period for any application, appeal, or prosecution had expired before this chapter came into force, nothing in this chapter shall be construed as enabling the application, appeal, or prosecution to be made under this chapter by reason only of the fact that a longer period is specified in this chapter.

(4) Any tax liability that arose before this chapter came into force may be recovered under this chapter, but without prejudice to any action already taken for the recovery of the tax.
