(2)The general rule is subject to the special provision made by Part 2.
2In the case of an amount which has been paid to HMRC, the repayment interest start date is the later of date A and (where applicable) date B.
3Date A is the date on which the amount was paid to HMRC.
4Date B is, in the case of an amount which—
(a)has been paid in connection with a liability to make a payment to HMRC, and
(b)is to be repaid by them,
the date on which the payment became due and payable to HMRC.
5(1)In the case of an amount which—
(a)has not been paid to HMRC, and
(b)is payable by virtue of a return having been filed or a claim having been made,
the repayment interest start date is the later of the dates mentioned in sub-paragraph (2).
(2)The dates are—
(a)the date (if any) on which the return was required to be filed or the claim was required to be made, and
(b)the date on which the return was in fact filed or the claim was in fact made.
6In the case of a repayment of income tax deducted at source for a tax year, the repayment interest start date is 31 January next following that year.
7In the case of any amount which is to be repaid as a result of a claim for relief under—
(a)paragraph 2 of Schedule 1B to TMA 1970 (carry back of loss relief from later year to earlier year), or
(b)Chapter 16 of Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005 (claim for averaging of profits of farmers etc over two consecutive years),
the repayment interest start date is 31 January next following the year that is the later year in relation to the claim.
8In the case of any payment under regulations under section 375(8) of ICTA (MIRAS: payments equivalent to deductions which could have been made), the repayment interest start date is 31 January next following the tax year in which the interest payment mentioned in section 375(8)(c) was made.
9In the case of a repayment made in consequence of a claim under section 228 of the Income Tax Act 1952 (relief in respect of income accumulated under trusts), the repayment is to be treated as if it were a repayment of income tax paid by the claimant for the tax year in which the contingency mentioned in that section happened.
10An amount of inheritance tax which is overpaid in consequence of any of the following provisions—
(a)section 146(1) of IHTA 1984,
(b)section 19 of the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, or

12In the case of an amount which is repayable under section 147(2) of IHTA 1984, the repayment interest start date is the date on which the tax was paid.
13(1)This paragraph applies for the purpose of determining, for the purposes of this Schedule, how a repayment to a person (“P”) in respect of income tax for a tax year is to be attributed to payments made in respect of that tax.
(2)Such a repayment is to be attributed to payments in the following order—
(a)first, to so much of any payment made by P under section 59B of TMA 1970 as is a payment in respect of income tax for that year,
(b)second, in two equal parts to each of the payments (if any) made by P under section 59A of that Act on account of income tax for that year, and
(c)third, to income tax deducted at source for that year.
(3)In so far as it is attributable to a payment made in instalments, a repayment is to be attributed to a later instalment before being attributed to an earlier one.
14In this Schedule any reference to income tax deducted at source for a tax year is a reference to—
(a)income tax deducted (or treated as deducted) from any income, or treated as paid on any income, in respect of that year, and
(b)amounts which, in respect of that year, are tax credits to which section 397(1) or 397A(2) of ITTOIA 2005 applies,
but does not include a reference to amounts which, in that year, are deducted at source under PAYE regulations in respect of previous years.
