CX 51: Income equalisation schemes

You could also call this:

“Rules for getting money back from income smoothing schemes for farmers and fishers”

When you have extra money in your income equalisation scheme, you can get it back. This is called a refund. The law says that when you get this refund, you don’t have to count it as income. This means you won’t have to pay tax on it.

There are two types of refunds mentioned in the law. One is from section EH 8, which is about getting back extra deposits. The other is from section EH 68, which is also about getting back extra deposits. Both of these refunds are not counted as income.

This rule helps farmers and fishers who use income equalisation schemes to manage their money and taxes better. It means they can get their extra money back without worrying about paying more tax on it.
