Provisions as to adjustments and furnishing of information.
|
14.—(1) Where, on the completion of the administration of an estate, any amount is deemed by virtue of this Part of this Act to have been paid to any person as income for any year of assessment and either—
|
|
| |
(a) that amount is greater than the amount that has previously been deemed to have been paid to him as income for that year by virtue of this Part of this Act, or
|
|
| |
(b) no amount has previously been so deemed to have been paid to him as income for that year,
|
|
| |
an assessment or additional assessment may be made upon him for that year and tax charged accordingly or, on a claim being made for the purpose, any relief or additional relief to which he may be entitled shall be allowed accordingly.
|
|
| |
(2) Where, on the completion of the administration of an estate, any amount is deemed by virtue of this Part of this Act to have been paid to any person as income for any year of assessment, and that amount is less than the amount that has previously been so deemed to have been paid to him, then—
|
|
| |
(a) if an assessment has already been made upon him for that year, such adjustments shall be made in that assessment as may be necessary for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Part of this Act which take effect on the completion of the administration, and any tax overpaid shall be repaid, and
|
|
| |
(b) if—
|
|
| |
(i) any relief has been allowed to him by reference to the amount which has been previously deemed as aforesaid to have been paid to him as income for that year, and
|
|
| |
(ii) the amount of that relief exceeds the amount of relief which could have been given by reference to the amount which, on the completion of the administration, is deemed to have been paid to him as income for that year,
|
|
| |
the relief so given in excess may, if not otherwise made good, be charged under Case VI of Schedule D of the Income Tax Act, 1918, and recovered from that person accordingly.
|
|
| |
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Income Tax Acts, the time within which an assessment or additional assessment may be made for the purposes of this Part of this Act, or an assessment may be adjusted for those purposes, or a claim for relief may be made by virtue of this Part of this Act, shall not expire before the end of the third year following the year of assessment in which the administration of the estate in question was completed.
|
|
| |
(4) The Revenue Commissioners may by notice in writing require any person being or having been a personal representative of a deceased person, or having or having had an absolute or a limited interest in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in a part thereof, to furnish them (within such time as they may direct, not being less than twenty-eight days) with such particulars as they think necessary for the purposes of this Part of this Act, and if that person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with the notice he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds, and, after judgment has been given for that penalty, to a further penalty of the like amount for each day during which that failure continues.
