Finance Act, 1916

Relief where income of year is less than assessed income.

29. If any individual who has been assessed or charged to income tax for the current income tax year claims and proves, in manner provided by the Income Tax Acts, that his actual income from all sources for the year of assessment is less by more than ten per cent. than the income on which he has been so assessed and charged, he shall be entitled to repayment of such part of any income tax paid by him either by way of deduction or otherwise, as is equal to the difference between the amount of the tax so paid and the amount which would have been so paid if he had been assessed or charged on his actual income for the year of assessment.
