Finance Act, 1983

Rectification of excessive set-off of advance corporation tax.

40.—If an inspector discovers that any set-off of advance corporation tax under section 39 ought not to have been made, or is or has become excessive, the inspector may make any such assessments as may in his judgment be required for recovering any tax that ought to have been paid and generally for securing that the resulting liabilities to tax (including interest on unpaid tax) of the persons concerned are what they would have been if only such set-offs had been made as ought to have been made.
