91 Repayment to certain housing co-operatives: 2020-21 chargeable period

(1) A claim for repayment of annual tax on enveloped dwellings paid, before 3 March 2021, by or on behalf of a chargeable person with respect to a single-dwelling interest may be made by the person for each day (if any) in the chargeable period beginning with 1 April 2020 on which—

(a) the person was within the charge with respect to the interest and not treated as being outside the charge by virtue of section 132(2) of FA 2013 (effect of reliefs under sections 133 to 150), and

(b) a qualifying housing co-operative was entitled to the interest.

(2) For the purposes of a claim under this section with respect to a single-dwelling interest—

(a) a company is a qualifying housing co-operative on any day if on that day it would have been a qualifying housing co-operative for the purposes of section 150(3A) of FA 2013 (if sections 150(3A) and 150A of FA 2013 (inserted by section 90) had been in force on that day);

(b) each day on which the conditions in subsection (1)(a) and (b) are met with respect to the interest is a “relievable day”;

(c) references to “the relevant return” are to the annual tax on enveloped dwellings return for the chargeable period beginning with 1 April 2020 with respect to the interest.

(3) Where a claim is made under this section with respect to a single-dwelling interest, HMRC must repay the total of the daily amounts for all the relievable days.

(4) A claim under this section must be made by amending the relevant return under paragraph 3 of Schedule 33 to FA 2013 on the same basis as it would have been amended if, on each of the relievable days, the chargeable person had been entitled to claim the type of relief numbered 8 in the table in section 159A(9) of FA 2013.

(5) Terms used in this section and in Part 3 of FA 2013 have the same meaning in this section as in that Part.
