Income Tax Act 2007

Section 55: Sections 45 to 53: supplementary

212.This section contains miscellaneous rules based on several source provisions.

213.Subsection (1) provides that an individual is entitled to only one tax reduction under sections 45 to 48 in a tax year. It is based on sections 257A(6), 257AB(6) and 257BA(9) of ICTA.

214.Subsection (2) corresponds to the rule in section 41(3) in relation to allowances under Chapter 2 that the higher level of relief under this Chapter is given for the tax year in which an individual will reach 75 and is not affected if death occurs before the 75th birthday. It is based on sections 257A(4) and 257AB(3) of ICTA.

215.Subsection (3) is new, but reflects the current law. It addresses the position where an individual dies and corresponds to the rule in section 41(1). It is a clear statement that the amount of the relief is not reduced on account of death, so that the full amount is due, even if death occurs on 6 April.
