From which date is the Consumer Protection (Amendment) Bill 2026 proposed to come into effect?
- A.1 April 2027
- B.1 January 2027
- C.1 October 2026
- D.1 January 2028
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 1 January 2027. Members of the board were told about forthcoming reforms, and among them was this bill, which is proposed to take effect from the first day of that year and is aimed at making life easier for consumers and for those who deal with them. Option A places the date at the start of a financial year, which is a natural guess but not the date mentioned here. Option C falls in the current year and option D pushes the date a full year further, so neither matches. In the same briefing the board was informed about the next generation of goods and services tax reforms and about integration with the open network for digital commerce, and it separately discussed the trade agreement being negotiated with the United Kingdom with a view to promoting exports.
