SCHEDULES.

FIRST SCHEDULEUNITED KINGDOM—CANADA TRADE AGREEMENT

Section 3.

The Governments of the United Kingdom and of Canada, recognizing that the revival and development of trade is an essential feature of the prosperity and well-being of all countries and to this end desiring further to facilitate trade and commerce between the United Kingdom and Canada, and having resolved to replace by the present Agreement the Agreement concluded between them at Ottawa on the 20th August, 1932, have agreed upon the following provisions :—

ARTICLE 1.

The Government of the United Kingdom undertake that goods grown, produced or manufactured in Canada and consigned from any part of the British Empire which are now free of duty, shall continue to enjoy entry free of customs duty into the United Kingdom, subject, however, to the reservations set forth in Schedule 1 appended hereto.

ARTICLE 2.

The Government of the United Kingdom undertake that the goods the manufacture of Canada enumerated in Schedule 1I appended hereto when consigned from any part of the British Empire shall not on importation into the United Kingdom be subjected to duties of customs higher than those specified in that Schedule.

ARTICLE 3.

The Government of the United Kingdom undertake in respect of the goods the growth, produce or manufacture of Canada enumerated in Schedule 1II appended hereto that the difference between the rate of the duties of customs on such goods on importation into the United Kingdom when consigned from any part of the British Empire and the rate upon similar goods the growth, produce or manufacture of any foreign country shall not be less than the rates set out in that Schedule :

Provided that the duty on either wheat in grain, copper, zinc or lead, as provided in this Agreement, may be removed if at any time Empire producers of wheat in grain, copper, zinc or lead respectively are unable or unwilling to offer these commodities on first sale in the United Kingdom at prices not exceeding the world prices and in quantities sufficient to supply the requirements of United Kingdom consumers; and,

Provided further that while the arrangements contained in the Report of the Import Duties Advisory Committee of the 2nd July, 1935, are in force, the duties on lead and zinc shall be in accord with the proposals in Appendices B and C of that Report.

ARTICLE 4.

The Government of the United Kingdom undertake that until the 19th August, 1942, tobacco grown, produced or manufactured in Canada and consigned from any part of the British Empire shall enjoy on importation into the United Kingdom the existing margin of preference over foreign tobacco, so long, however, as the duty on foreign unmanufactured tobacco does not fall below 2s. O ½ d. per lb., in which event the margin of preference shall be equal to the full duty.

ARTICLE 5.

The Government of Canada, recognizing that it is the present policy of the Government of the United Kingdom to promote the orderly marketing of bacon and hams and of meat in the United Kingdom with due regard to the normal development of trade, declare their willingness so far as their power extends to continue to assist the Government of the United Kingdom in carrying out this policy and, in particular, to furnish from time to time estimates of forthcoming shipments of bacon and hams and cattle and beef.

As regards bacon and hams, the Government of the United Kingdom undertake :

1

That any duty or levy which may be imposed on bacon and hams imported into the United Kingdom shall not apply to imports of Canadian bacon and hams when consigned from any part of the British Empire;

2

that there will be no regulation by them of such imports unless the rate at which the trade from Canada progresses towards two and one half million hundred-weight per annum should become abnormal and such as to endanger the effective working of the system of supply regulation;

3

that no such regulation would be put into effect without prior consultation with the Government of Canada.

As regards cattle and beef, the Government of the United Kingdom undertake:

1

That any duty or levy which may be imposed on cattle or beef imported into the United Kingdom shall not apply to imports of Canadian cattle or beef when consigned from any part of the British Empire;

2

that, if so requested, they will make themselves responsible for Canadian interests in any International Conference that may be set up to arrange for regulating supplies imported into the United Kingdom and will use their best endeavours to ensure that Canada secures an equitable share in the trade in cattle and beef;

3

that any Agreement for the setting up of such a Conference, to which they may become a party, will not provide for any reduction in imports of Canadian fat cattle and beef into the United Kingdom below recent levels;

4

that any such Agreement will recognize that special provision may become necessary for increased shipments of fat cattle and beef from Canada and will provide for specified reductions, if necessary, in shipments of chilled beef from foreign countries;

5

that there will be no regulation of imports of cattle or beef from Canada unless, after consultation with the Government of Canada, it appears to the Government of the United Kingdom that the effective working of a general scheme for the orderly marketing in the United Kingdom of meat cannot otherwise be secured.

ARTICLE 6.

The Government of Canada undertake that the goods the growth, produce or manufacture of the United Kingdom enumerated in Schedule 1V appended hereto, when conveyed without transhipment from any part of the British Empire enjoying the benefits of the British Preferential Tariff into lake or river port of Canada, shall not be subjected to duties of customs higher than those specified in that Schedule.

The Government of Canada undertake as regards goods the growth, produce or manufacture of the United Kingdom other than those enumerated in Schedule IV that, under the British Preferential Tariff, no new protective duty shall be imposed and no existing protective duty increased except after an inquiry at which United Kingdom producers shall enjoy full rights of audience.

ARTICLE 7.

The Government of Canada undertake that goods the growth, produce or manufacture of the United Kingdom enumerated in Schedule 1V, when not of a class or kind made in Canada and when subject to duties of customs on importation into Canada, shall, when conveyed without transhipment from any part of the British Empire enjoying the benefits of the British Preferential Tariff into a sea, lake or river port of Canada, enjoy the benefit of preferential tariff margins which, in the case of any such goods, shall not be less than the difference between the rate of duty provided for in this agreement and the rate of duty now levied upon like goods the growth, produce or manufacture of any foreign country, provided however that, if the duty on foreign goods becomes less than such preferential tariff margin, no duty shall be levied on the like goods of United Kingdom origin.

ARTICLE 8.

The Government of Canada undertake in respect of the goods the growth, produce or manufacture of the United Kingdom enumerated in Schedule V appended hereto that the difference between the rates of duties of customs on such goods on importation into Canada, when conveyed without transhipment from any part of the British Empire enjoying the benefits of the British Preferential Tariff into a sea, lake or river port of Canada, and the rates upon similar goods the growth, produce or manufacture of any foreign country shall not be less than the margins set out in that Schedule.

ARTICLE 9.

The two Governments undertake that, except as provided for in legislation already in force, goods the growth, produce or manufacture of either country covered by the provisions of Articles 1 and 2, or of the first paragraph of Article 6, as the case may be, shall not be subjected on importation into the other country to any imposts or charges other than the customs duties leviable in accordance with the provisions of the said Articles unless equal imposts or charges are imposed on similar goods the growth, produce or manufacture of the importing country.

ARTICLE 10.

Each Government reserve the right to suspend or modify the preferential margin specified in respect of any item in Schedule 1II or Schedule V, as the case may be, if, after inquiry, it appears to that Government that a predominating share of the trade in such item is controlled by any organisation or combine of exporters and that by virtue of the guaranteed margin that organisation or combine is exercising this control to the prejudice of consumers or users of the goods in question.

ARTICLE 11.

Neither Government will, without the consent of the other Government, amend their regulations regarding qualification for preferential tariff treatment so as to increase above fifty per centum the prescribed proportion of the value of any class of manufactured articles which must be derived from expenditure in the British Empire in order to entitle the articles to preference.

ARTICLE 12.

The Government of Canada, recognizing that the entry of Canadian goods into the United Kingdom market free of duty, as assured in Article 1 of this Agreement and, in particular, their exemption from liability to any special or dumping duty, even if sold in that market at less than their comparable selling price in Canada, warrant more nearly reciprocal treatment of United Kingdom goods offered for sale in similar circumstances in Canada, agree to exempt particular classes of United Kingdom goods from special or dumping duty under the conditions set out in the following paragraphs.

If it appears to the Government of the United Kingdom that any goods enjoying entry free of duty into the United Kingdom under the provisions of Article 1 of this Agreement are exported from Canada to the United Kingdom at export or selling prices lower than the fair market value for home consumption, as determined on the bases laid down in Section 6 of the Customs Tariff of Canada, and that in consequence thereof the sale of similar United Kingdom goods is being prejudicially or injuriously affected, they may notify the Government of Canada of the facts of the case and request that United Kingdom goods of each or any class or kind normally manufactured by the Canadian industry manufacturing the goods in question shall be exempt from special or dumping duty on importation into Canada.

On receipt of such notification and request the Government of Canada will take suitable steps to correct the situation complained of and, if other measures are ineffectual, will exempt United Kingdom goods, as specified in the notification, from special or dumping duty for such period as may prove necessary. Recognizing that in certain circumstances it may be found necessary to exempt from special or dumping duty other United Kingdom goods of a class or kind normally manufactured by the Canadian industry manufacturing the goods in question, the Government of Canada agree that they will accord sympathetic consideration to any request that the United Kingdom Government may make under this Article for such exemption and will, in consultation with the United Kingdom Government, determine what measures shall be taken to restore fair trading conditions.

ARTICLE 13.

The Government of the United Kingdom will invite the Governments of the non-self-governing Colonies and Protectorates to continue to accord to Canada any preference which may for the time being be accorded to any other part of the British Empire :

  • Provided that the operation of this paragraph shall not extend to any preferences accorded by Northern Rhodesia to the Union of South Africa, Southern Rhodesia and the High Commission Territories in South Africa.

The Government of Canada undertake to accord to those non-self-governing Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories, to which the benefits of the British Preferential Tariff are at present accorded, and also to Malta, the benefit of any preferences for the time being accorded to any part of the British Empire :

  • Provided that nothing in this paragraph shall interfere with existing obligations or special arrangements already in force between Canada and other parts of the British Empire; and,

  • Provided further that the Government of Canada shall not be bound to continue to accord any preferences to any Colony or Protectorate which, not being precluded by international obligations from according preferences, either (i) accords to Canada no preferences, or (ii) accords to some other part of the British Empire (in the case of Northern Rhodesia, excepting the Union of South Africa, Southern Rhodesia and the High Commission Territories in South Africa) preferences not accorded to Canada.

ARTICLE 14.

The Government of Canada undertake to accord to goods the growth, produce or manufacture of any of the non-self-governing Colonies, Protectorates or Mandated Territories of Togoland under British Mandate, the Cameroons under British Mandate, the Tanganyika Territory or Palestine, treatment not less favourable than that accorded to similar goods the growth, produce or manufacture of any foreign country.

ARTICLE 15.

The Government of the United Kingdom will invite the Governments of the Colonies and Protectorates shown in Schedule VI appended hereto to continue in operation the preferences accorded to Canada on the commodities and at the rates shown in that Schedule, and the Government of Canada will continue in operation the preferences accorded to the Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories by Canada as set out in Schedule VII appended hereto :

  • Provided that the Government of Canada shall not be bound to continue to accord any preferences to any Colony or Protectorate which, not being precluded by international obligations from according preferences, either (i) accords to Canada no preferences, or (ii) accords to some other part of the British Empire (in the case of Northern Rhodesia, excepting the Union of South Africa, Southern Rhodesia and the High Commission Territories in South Africa) preferences not accorded to Canada; and,

  • Provided further that, in the event of the denunciation and termination of the Canada-West Indies Trade Agreement dated the 6th July, 1925, either Government shall be at liberty, on giving at least six months' notice, to terminate the provisions of this Article not earlier than the termination of that Agreement.

ARTICLE 16.

In the event of circumstances arising which in the judgment of the Government of the United Kingdom or of the Government of Canada, as the case may be, necessitate a variation in the terms of this Agreement, the proposal to vary those terms shall be the subject of consultation between the two Governments.

ARTICLE 17.

The Agreement will come into force on a date to be mutually agreed between the two Governments. On the coming into force of the present Agreement, the Agreement concluded between the two Governments at Ottawa on the 20th August, 1932, shall cease to have effect. Pending the coming into force of the present Agreement, the two Governments will apply its provisions as far as may be possible and will consult together with regard to the dates on which particular provisions of the 1932 Agreement shall be deemed to have been replaced by provisions of the present Agreement. The Agreement will remain in force until the 20th August, 1940. Unless six months before the 20th August, 1940, notice of termination shall have been given by either Government to the other, the Agreement will remain in force until the expiry of six months from the date on which a notice of termination is given.

LETTER No. 1.LETTER FROM CANADIAN SIGNATORY ON THE SUBJECT OF ZINC.

Ottawa,

February 23, 1937.

SIR,

With reference to Article 16 of the Trade Agreement signed this day, I have the honour to inform you that the Canadian Government, having taken note of the statements of the United Kingdom Government in the course of the recent discussions (1) that it is essential to the national security that the production of the zinc smelting industry in the United Kingdom should be maintained at a satisfactory level; (2) that at any enquiry into the question of the effects of imports of zinc from oversea Empire countries on the maintenance of the production of zinc in the United Kingdom at a satisfactory level having regard to the needs of national security, the Canadian zinc producers would have the opportunity of submitting evidence, and (3) that the Government of the United Kingdom would consult the Canadian Government before taking any decision to impose a customs duty on imports of Canadian zinc into the United Kingdom; agree that it will be open to the United Kingdom Government, after such enquiry and after consultation with the Canadian Government, and notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1 of the Trade Agreement, to impose a customs duty on imports of zinc produced or manufactured in Canada, without prejudice however, to the provisions of Article 3 of the Agreement.

It is understood that no customs duty will be imposed on Canadian zinc which is not equally applicable to zinc from other oversea Empire sources.

I have, etc.,

W. L. MACKENZIE KING.

LETTER No. 2.LETTER FROM CANADIAN SIGNATORY ON THE SUBJECT OF HOME CONSUMPTION DRAWBACKS.

Ottawa,

February 20, 1937.

SIR,

During the negotiations in London last summer, representations were made by the United Kingdom authorities to the effect that in certain cases tariff preferences accorded the United Kingdom by Canada had been rendered less effective than had been expected by reason of the drawbacks of duty for home consumption authorized by Schedule B to the Customs Tariff. At that time the Minister of Finance promised, on behalf of the Canadian Government, that fuller consideration would be given to the proposal of the United Kingdom that the preferential principle of tariff treatment be applied to the Drawback Schedule.

Since the return of the Canadian delegation, the competent Departments of the Canadian Government have been studying United Kingdom proposals, and such examination as has been made to date of the operation of Schedule B justifies the position taken in London by the Minister of Finance : that to apply suddenly a preferential scheme to the entire existing Schedule might, in many instances, work hardship upon Canadian consumers without necessarily ensuring any added advantage to United Kingdom interests.

Close examination of the existing Schedule reveals that frequently the home consumption drawback applies to raw materials imported for use in the manufacture of non-protected finished products, and in such instances the effect of abolishing or even restricting the full privilege of drawback might easily be disastrous to the industry concerned. There is the further fact that several of the items in the Schedule appear to have become inoperative (in so far as may be judged by the absence of claims thereunder), and such items are now the subject of review by the Canadian Government with a view to their possible cancellation. There is also to be borne in mind the fact that, under the last two or three Budgets, an effort has been made not merely to afford margins of preference by way of drawbacks, but actually to confine the operation of certain new drawback items to importations under the British Preferential Tariff.

The provision for home consumption drawbacks in the Canadian tariff is not one which this Government desires to see extended; on the contrary, were it feasible to do so immediately and at one stroke, the Government would prefer to dispense with the granting of such drawbacks, the administration of which is always costly and frequently difficult. To that end, as indicated, the Canadian Government already contemplates reducing the Schedule; and in this connection—and toward the same objective—it will undertake to give prompt and sympathetic consideration to any requests that may from time to time be put forward by the Government of the United Kingdom regarding the continuance or the operation of any particular item in the Schedule.

I have, etc.,

W. L. MACKENZIE KING.

1

Where by virtue of this Act a direction is given under subsection (1) of section twenty-one of the Finance Act, 1922, that the actual income of an investment company from all sources for a year of assessment shall be deemed to be the income of the members—

a

the amount to be deducted in assessing and charging surtax under the provisions of the said section in respect of the sum apportioned to any member in consequence of the direction shall be any amount which has been distributed to him by the company in that year of assessment out of the income of the company for that year in such manner that the amount distributed falls to be included in the statement of total income to be made by him for the purposes of surtax;

b

paragraph 9 of the First Schedule to the Finance Act, 1922, shall not apply, but the income apportioned to a member of the company, so far as assessable and chargeable to surtax under section twenty-one of the said Act, shall, for the purposes of that tax, be deemed to have been received by him on the last day of that year of assessment;

c

subsection (1) of section thirty-two of the [17 & 18 Geo. 5. c. 10.] Finance Act, 1927, shall apply, in a case where the second company referred to therein is an investment company, as if the amount to be deemed to be the income of the members of that company and to be apportioned among them under that subsection were the excess of the amount apportioned to that company in consequence of the direction over the amount, if any, which has been received in that year. of assessment by that company out of the income of the first company for that year in such manner as would, in the case of an individual, render the amount so received liable to be included in the statement of his income for the purposes of surtax.

2

Subsection (3) of section eighteen of the Finance Act, 1928, shall have effect as if there were inserted—

a

in paragraph (a) thereof after the words " year or other period," where they first occur, the words " or any " year of assessment ending within that year or other " period," and where they secondly occur, the words " or any such year of assessment ";

b

in paragraph (b) thereof after the words " year or period " the words " or any year of assessment ending within that year or period."

Where a person carrying on a trade or business either solely or in partnership has, before the beginning of the first of the relevant accounting periods, sustained a loss (as computed for income tax purposes) in the trade or business, he may claim that so much of that loss shall be carried forward and deducted from or set off against the profits arising from the trade or business in any of the relevant accounting periods as could, under section thirty-three of the Finance Act, 1926, as amended by section nineteen of the Finance Act, 1932, be carried forward and deducted from or set off against the assessable income tax profits of the trade or business for the year of assessment corresponding to that accounting period :

Provided that, in ascertaining the amount (if any) that could be so carried forward and deducted from or set off against assessable income tax profits for a year of assessment corresponding to an accounting period—

a

the amount of the assessable income tax profits for that year shall be taken to be equal to the amount of the profits arising in that accounting period (computed in like manner as profits arising in a chargeable accounting period are computed for the purpose of the national defence contribution but before making any deduction for wear and tear under the next following paragraph);

b

the amount of the assessable income tax profits for any previous year of assessment corresponding to a previous relevant accounting period shall be taken to be equal to the amount of the profits (computed as aforesaid) arising in that previous accounting period; and

c

the amount of the deduction (if any) to be made from the assessable income tax profits under Rule 6 of the Rules applicable to Cases I and II of Schedule D for any year of assessment corresponding to a relevant accounting period shall be taken to be equal to the amount which, under the provisions of sub-paragraph (1) of the next following paragraph, falls to be deducted in computing the amount of the profits arising in that accounting period.

2

Where a person carrying on a trade or business either solely or in partnership has, in any relevant accounting period, sustained a loss in the trade or business (to be computed in like manner as profits arising in a chargeable accounting period are computed for the purpose of the national defence contribution) he may claim that that loss shall be carried forward and, as far as may be, deducted from or set off against the profits arising from the trade or business in the next relevant accounting period and, if and so far as it exceeds the profits so arising in that period, against the profits so arising in the next such period, and so on.

In the application of this sub-paragraph to a loss sustained by a partner in a partnership, references to losses or profits shall be construed as references to that partner's share in those losses or profits.

3

For the purpose of this paragraph—

a

the expression " assessable income tax profits " in relation to any year of assessment means the profits or gains of the trade or business assessable to income tax under Schedule D for that year;

b

the expression " relevant accounting period " means any accounting period falling wholly or partly within the five years beginning on the sixth day of April, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven;

c

the year of assessment following that in which an accounting period ends shall be deemed to correspond to that accounting period.

3

1

There may be deducted in respect of any accounting period a sum (ascertained on the like basis as the amount of a deduction for wear and tear is ascertained under Rule 6 of the Rules applicable to Cases I and II of Schedule D) which represents the diminution in value by reason of wear and tear during that period of any plant or machinery in respect of which a deduction could be made under the said Rule 6, plus ten per cent. of that sum. '

2

Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, there may, in the case of the first chargeable accounting period, be deducted any sum which, under paragraph (3) of the said Rule 6, falls to be added to the amount of the deduction for wear and tear to be made under that Rule in charging the profits or gains of the trade or business to income tax for the year 1937-1938 :

Provided that, if the amount of the deduction falling to be made under this sub-paragraph exceeds the amount of profits arising from the trade or business in the first chargeable accounting period, the excess shall, in lieu of being deducted in that chargeable accounting period, be deducted in the second chargeable accounting period if and in so far as there are profits arising in that period, and so on.

4

The principles of the Income Tax Acts under which deductions are not allowed for interest, annuities or other annual payments payable out of the profits, or for royalties, or (in certain cases) for rent, and under which the annual value of lands, tenements, hereditaments or heritages occupied for the purpose of a trade or business is excluded, and under which a deduction may be allowed in respect of such annual value, shall not be followed :

Provided that nothing in this paragraph shall authorise any deduction in respect of—

a

any payment of dividend or distribution of profits; or

b

any interest, annuity or other annual payment paid to any person carrying on the trade or business, or any royalty or rent so paid;

and, for the purpose of paragraph (b) of this proviso, where the trade or business is carried on by a company the directors whereof have a controlling interest therein, the directors shall be deemed to be carrying on the trade or business.

5

The provisions of subsection (4) of section twenty-seven of the Finance Act, 1920 (which disallows deductions on account of the payment of dominion income tax) shall not apply.

6

Where, in respect of any profits arising from a trade or business, relief from income tax chargeable in the United Kingdom is granted by virtue of arrangements with the Government of any other country, being arrangements which for the time being have effect either—

a

under section eighteen of the Finance Act, 1923 (which as amended by section thirty-one of the Finance Act 1924, and section nine of the Finance Act, 1931, provides for the relief of shipping and air transport from double taxation); or

b

under section seventeen of the Finance Act, 1930 (which provides for the relief of certain agencies from double taxation);

those profits shall not be included in the profits arising from that trade or business, if and so long as the profits of trades or businesses which, by virtue of those arrangements, are relieved from income tax chargeable in that other country, are relieved from all taxes chargeable in that other country on the profits of trades or businesses.

7

Income received from investments or other property shall be included in the profits in the cases and to the extent provided in this paragraph, and not otherwise—

a

in the case of the business of a building society, or a banking business, assurance business or business consisting wholly or mainly in the dealing in or holding of investments or other property, the profits shall include ah income received from investments or other property except:—

ii

income to which the persons carrying on the trade or business are not beneficially entitled;

b

in the case of any other trade or business, being a trade or business carried on by a body corporate, the profits shall include all income received by way of dividend or distribution of profits from any other body corporate in which the first-mentioned body corporate has a controlling interest and which is not liable to be assessed to the national defence contribution:

Provided that the profits of a body corporate which, either alone or in conjunction with any statutory undertakers, has a controlling interest in any other body corporate, being statutory undertakers, shall not in any case include any income received from that other body corporate.

8

Subject to the provisions of the last foregoing paragraph, the profits shall include all such income arising from the trade or business as is chargeable to income tax under Case I of Schedule D, or would be so chargeable. if the profits of: the trade or business were chargeable under that Case, except income which is, or would be, exempted from income tax by virtue of section thirty-nine of the Income Tax Act, 1918, or section thirty of the Finance Act, 1921.

9

No deduction shall be made on account of liability to pay or the payment of United Kingdom income tax or the national defence contribution.

10

No deduction shall be made in respect of any transaction or operation of any nature if and so far as it appears that the transaction or operation has artificially reduced the profits or created or increased a loss or would artificially reduce the profits or create or increase a loss.

11

In the case of a trade or business carried on in any chargeable accounting period by a company the directors whereof have a controlling interest therein, the deduction to be allowed in respect of the remuneration of the directors other than whole-time service directors shall not exceed fifteen per cent. of the profits arising from the trade or business in that period (computed before making any deduction in respect of the remuneration of the directors other than whole-time service directors), or fifteen hundred pounds, whichever is the greater, so, however, that the deduction shall in no case exceed fifteen thousand pounds:

Provided that in relation to a chargeable accounting period of less than twelve months any reference in this paragraph to fifteen hundred pounds or fifteen thousand pounds shall be construed as a reference to a sum which bears the same proportion to fifteen hundred pounds or fifteen thousand pounds, as the case may be, as the length of the period bears to twelve months.

12

1

In the case of a trade or business carried on in any chargeable accounting period by an individual or individuals in partnership, he or they may claim that there shall be allowed as a deduction in respect of that period the greatest amount which could have been allowed as a deduction under the last foregoing paragraph in respect of the remuneration of the directors other than whole-time service directors, if the trade or business had been carried on in that period by a company the directors whereof had a controlling interest therein :

Provided that, where a deduction is made under this paragraph as respects any period, the profits arising from the trade or business in that period shall be chargeable to the national defence contribution at the rate applicable in the case of a trade or business carried on by a body corporate.

2

Any claim under this paragraph shall be made by notice in writing given to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue within one month from the end of the chargeable accounting period in question.
