Validation of deductions. 2.—(1) Nothing in this Act shall render invalid anything done before the passing of this Act nor shall anything in this Act render invalid or improper any deduction in respect of income tax which was made before the passing of this Act or is made within ten days after such passing and, in either case, would have been a proper deduction if this Act had not been passed. (2) Every deduction in respect of the income tax for the year beginning on the 6th day of April, 1931, made before the passing of this Act by reference to a rate of three shillings and sixpence in the pound shall be treated for all purposes (including the purposes of any legal proceedings instituted before the passing of this Act, as having been made by reference to the proper rate of such tax. Automatic variation of tax charged in assessments. 3.—(1) The amount payable by virtue of any assessment to income tax for the year beginning on the 6th day of April, 1931 which was made before the passing of this Act shall, by virtue of this Act and without more, be deemed to be varied to such extent as is necessary to give effect to the change made by this Act in the rate of such tax. (2) Where notice of an assessment has been issued before the passing of this Act and the amount payable by virtue of such assessment is deemed by this section to be varied, it shall not be necessary to issue any further notice of such assessment or to give any notice of the said variation of the amount payable by virtue of such assessment. (3) This section shall not apply in the case of income chargeable under Schedule C of the Income Tax Act, 1918, or under Rule 6 or Rule 7 of the Miscellaneous Rules applicable to Schedule D of that Act. Making good insufficient deductions. 4.—(1) In the case of income chargeable under Schedule C of the Income Tax Act, 1918, or under Rule 6 or Rule 7 of the Miscellaneous Rules applicable to Schedule D of that Act or in the case of payments falling under Rule 21 of the General Rules applicable to all the Schedules of that Act, any deficiency in the amount deducted in respect of income tax for the year beginning on the 6th day of April, 1931 from a payment made before or within ten days after the passing of this Act shall, if such deficiency arises from the change made by this Act in the rate of such tax, be made good so far as possible by increasing the deduction required or authorised by law to be made from the next and (so far as necessary) any subsequent payment made after the passing of this Act and before the expiration of one year and ten days from such passing. (2) A deficiency made good under this section shall be accounted for and assessed or recovered as the case may be, in the same manner as the tax deducted from the original payment is to be accounted for and assessed or recovered.

(2) The modifications effected by this section in section 211 of the Income Tax Act, 1918, shall, in so far as they apply to a case to which section 4 of this Act applies, have effect subject to the provisions of the said section 4.
