Section 53
3246.Section 53 has not been rewritten as it is redundant. It was originally enacted to validate an ultra vires transitional provision in the Income Tax (Building Societies) Regulations 1986 (SI 1986/482). This provision purported to require deduction in respect of sums paid or credited before 6 April 1986, the date of commencement of the regulations. SI 1986/482 was revoked with effect from 1991-92 following the repeal of section 476 ICTA by FA 1990. So section 53 is no longer necessary.
