On making a subsequent payment of taxable incapacity benefit to the claimant, the Department must deliver a further return in accordance with regulation 176 as if that subsequent payment were the first payment, if conditions A and B are met.

Condition A is that the Inland Revenue have previously determined the claimant’s code in relation to the payments of incapacity benefit to be a nil tax code.

Condition B is that the subsequent payment is the first payment to be made at a different rate from the rate subsisting at the time of that determination.
