(b) the affected income.

(4) Apply this section before working out the result of section 448(4) or 449(5).

• “interest” and “securities” are to be read in accordance with section 731(9) of ICTA,

• “relievable payment” means a payment to which section 448 or 449 applies, and

• “qualifying annual payment” has the same meaning as in Chapter 6 of Part 15 (see section 899).
