CU 19: Amount treated as repayment for purposes of section CU 17: net income
or “Removed rule about repayments for net income”
You could also call this:

“Tax rules for liquidated mining companies now align with other companies”

When a mining company or mining holding company is liquidated, there used to be special rules about how this affected their taxes. However, these rules no longer apply. The government removed these rules on 1 April 2014. This means that from the 2014-2015 tax year onwards, mining companies that are liquidated are treated the same as other companies for tax purposes.
