(1)Any person may be required by a notice given to him by an inspector or other officer of the Board to deliver to the officer within the time limited by the notice a return of his income, computed in accordance with the Income Tax Acts and specifying each separate source of income and the amount from each source.

(2)Any person may be required by a notice given to him by an inspector or other officer of the Board to deliver to the officer within the time limited by the notice a return of income which is not his income, but in respect of which he is chargeable in any capacity specified in the notice, computed in accordance with the Income Tax Acts and specifying each separate source of income and the amount from each source.

(3)A notice under this section may require a return of income for a specified year of assessment, or a return which is, so far as relates to certain sources of income, a return of income for one year of assessment, and, so far as relates to the remaining sources of income, a return of income for the preceding year of assessment.

(4)So far as a notice under this section relates to income chargeable under Case I or Case II of Schedule D, or any other income which may be computed by reference to the profits or gains of a period which is not a year of assessment, the notice may require a return of profits or gains (computed in accordance with the Income Tax Acts) for a period for which accounts are made up or a period by reference to which income is to be computed.

(5)A notice under this section may require an individual to deliver a return of all his income computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Acts relating to surtax, or may require a return of his income which will afford the requisite information for computing his income both in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Acts relating to surtax and in accordance with the provisions of those Acts relating to tax at the standard rate.

(6)For the purpose of charging surtax a notice under this section may require a person liable to be charged to tax at the standard rate on the income of any incapacitated, deceased or non-resident person under Part VII or Part VIII of this Act to deliver a return of all the income of the incapacitated, deceased or non-resident person, computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Acts relating to surtax, and made to the best of his knowledge.

(7)Every return under this section shall include a declaration by the person making the return to the effect that the return is to the best of his knowledge correct and complete.

(8)In this section references to returns of income computed in accordance with the Income Tax Acts are references to returns which include, as well as all particulars relating to income from which tax has not been deducted, all particulars relating to income from which tax has been deducted before receipt, and relating to charges on income, which are required for computing total income for the purposes of the provisions of the Income Tax Acts relating to surtax or, as the case may require, to tax at the standard rate; and in this subsection the expression " charges on income " means amounts which fall to be deducted in computing total income for either or both of those purposes, or which would fall to be so deducted if the person to whose income the return relates were an individual.
