HC Deb 30 June 1964 vol 697 cc1225-9

(1) If a claimant entitled to a deduction under paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 210 of the Income Tax Act 1952 (which paragraph provides for personal relief in any other case than that of certain married men) proves that throughout the year of assessment the claimant is over fifty years of age and occupies a dwelling as owner or tenant or occupies furnished accommodation, the deduction to be allowed to the claimant under the said section 210 shall be increased by an amount equal to tax at the standard rate on one half of the difference between the sums mentioned respectively in the said paragraph (b) and in the preceding paragraph (a) (which makes corresponding provision in the case to which paragraph (b) does not apply).

(2) In the foregoing subsection "furnished accommodation" means a house or part of a house, occupied by virtue of a contract, to which the Furnished Houses (Rent Control) Act 1946 applies or would apply, if the appropriate order had been made under section 1 of that Act (application of Act by order of Minister) or if section 12 of the Rent Act 1957 (which limits the application of the said Act of 1946) had not been enacted.

(3) This section shall have effect as if it were inserted in the Income Tax Act 1952 immediately after the said section 210.—[Mr. Houghton.]
