|
| |
(b) by the substitution of the following for subsection (2):

(a) the payment of a liability required to be paid, and

they may, in a case where a repayment is due to the person in respect of a claim or overpayment—
|

(ii) where paragraph (b) only applies, withhold making the repayment until such time as the returns required to be delivered have been delivered.
|
|
| |
(2A) Where the Revenue Commissioners have set or withheld a repayment by virtue of subsection (2), they shall give notice in writing to that effect to the person concerned and, where subsection (2)(ii) applies, interest shall not be payable under any provision of the Acts from the date of such notice in respect of any repayment so withheld.”.
