5.—(1) In order to secure the performance of the obligation imposed by regulation 4, section 30 of the Taxes Management Act 1970(1)shall be adapted so that it applies to the tax for which a person to whom a payment has been made is to account to the Board in accordance with that regulation as it applies to tax which has been repaid to a person which ought not to have been repaid to him.
(2) For the purposes of the adaptation required by paragraph (1), any reference in the said section 30 to the repayment of an amount of tax to any person which ought not to have been repaid to him shall be construed as including a reference to tax for which a person is to account to the Board in accordance with regulation 4.
