959 Application of Income Tax Acts provisions about time limits for assessments

(1) This section deals with the application of the provisions of the Income Tax Acts about time limits for making assessments. (2) So far as the provisions refer or relate to— (a) the tax year for which an assessment is made, or (b) the year to which an assessment relates, they apply to assessments under this Chapter despite the fact that an assessment under this Chapter may relate to a return period which is not a tax year. (3) Subsection (4) applies if an assessment under this Chapter relates to income tax due in respect of a payment required to be included in a return for a return period under section 949 (payments in an accounting period). (4) In that case, for the purposes of the provisions mentioned in subsection (1), the assessment is treated as made for the tax year in which the return period ends. (5) Subsection (6) applies if an assessment under this Chapter relates to income tax due in respect of a payment required to be included in a return under section 950 (payments otherwise than in an accounting period). (6) In that case, for the purposes of the provisions mentioned in subsection (1), the assessment is treated as made for the tax year in which payment is made.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
