In enacting this article it is the intent of the General Assembly to transfer the former provisions of the act of May 5, 1933 (P.L. 284, No. 104), known as the "Malt Beverage Tax Law," to the "Tax Reform Code of 1971" and, except for changes in section 2010 relating to tax credits, to make that codification without effecting a change in substantive law, and the article shall be interpreted and construed to effectuate this intent.
