RE1600 - Annuities and registered securities: special arrangements: general


Annuities and interest on registered securities are often paid under deduction of tax at the basic or lower rate.

Where an individual receives such income but has no net liability to tax for the year he is entitled to repayment of the full amount of the tax deducted. In these circumstances special arrangements may be made with the payer of the annuity or interest to make the payment in full without deduction of tax.

The special arrangements can also be applied to societies and funds which have established the title to total exemption from Income Tax.
