EH 29: Deposits from which refunds come
or “How refunds are taken from your deposits in order”

You could also call this:

“When you can get a tax credit for a refund”

You can get a tax credit if you receive a refund. To be eligible for this tax credit, two conditions must be met. First, the refund you receive needs to be of a specific type and amount. You can find out what kind of refund and how much it should be in section EH 31. Second, you need to be a certain type of person. The details about who qualifies are explained in section EH 32. If you meet both of these conditions, you are entitled to the tax credit.
