Section 819: Adjustment of assessment
3034.This section provides for an election for the alternative form of relief to be made following an adjustment to an individual’s return of foster-care profit. It is based on paragraph 14 of Schedule 36 to FA 2003.
3035.Without this section an individual might be prevented from electing for the alternative form of relief if his or her return of foster-care profits were adjusted after the normal election time limit in section 818.
3036.Subsection (3) makes it clear that the election applies only to the year for which it is made.
3037.Subsections (3) and (4) follow the approach described in the commentary on section 818 in providing for the withdrawal of an election under this section.
