EH 32: Kind of person entitled to tax credit
or “Who can get a tax credit for certain refunds”

You could also call this:

“How much tax credit you can get for paying more extra tax than you save”

You can get a tax credit under section EH 30. The amount of this tax credit is the difference between two things: the extra tax and the tax saving. These are both described in section EH 32(c). If the extra tax is more than the tax saving, you’ll get the difference as a tax credit. This means you’ll only get a tax credit if you end up paying more extra tax than you save.
