Unemployment Assistance (Amendment) Act, 1940
|
Payment by councils of deficiencies in payments for past years. |
4.—(1) Whenever any council liable to pay money to the Minister under section 26 of the Principal Act shall, in any financial year which began before the passing of this Act, have paid to the Minister in purported compliance with that section a total amount (in this section called the actual payment) which is less than the total amount (in this section called the proper payment) which, if this Act had been enacted before the beginning of such year, would have been payable in such year to the Minister by such council under the said section 26 as amended by this Act, such council shall pay to the Minister a sum equal to the amount by which the actual payment fell short of the proper payment. | |
(2) For the purpose of determining the sum payable under the foregoing sub-section of this section by a council to the Minister, the Minister may credit to such council, as against the amount by which the actual payment by such council in any financial year falls short of the proper payment by such council in that year, the amount by which the actual payment by such council in any previous or subsequent financial year exceeds the proper payment by such council in that year. | ||
(3) Every council by whom money is payable to the Minister under this section shall pay such money to the Minister in such one or more instalments, at such time or times, and in such manner as the Minister shall direct either generally or in respect of such council in particular. | ||
(4) Money payable by a council to the Minister under this section shall be raised by such council in the like manner as money payable in the same financial year to the Minister by such council under section 26 of the Principal Act as amended by this Act is required by the said section or by this Act to be raised. | ||
(5) Where any money is payable to the Minister under this section by a council, the amount thereof may, in default of payment by such council, be deducted from sums payable from the Local Taxation (Ireland) Account directly or indirectly to such council, and be paid to the Minister in discharge of such money. |
