# What changed in the Sales Tax Act, 1990 between the 2019-12-31 and 2020-06-30 versions

Between the version published 2019-12-31 and the one published 2020-06-30, 2 sections appeared for the first time.

> Reading this in plain terms: a section appearing for the first time usually means a new provision was inserted. A section disappearing usually means it was omitted, though it can also have been moved under a new heading this comparison did not match. Treat this as a guide to what to check in the official text, not as proof.

1 other section looked different at first but were found in both versions' text, so the difference was in the PDF layout rather than the law. They are not listed.
