386W
§ Mr. HigginsThe tax office can normally give these reliefs if they know that the qualifying income conditions are satisfied and the individual has entered his date of birth in the appropriate section of his tax return. It may be necessary for taxpayers who qualify for one or other of these reliefs following a change in circumstances to apply to the tax office.
