EH 50: Income when refund given on death
or “Refunds after death: This rule no longer applies”
You could also call this:

“This rule about income refunds after death no longer applies”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to talk about what happens with income refunds when someone dies, and how you could choose to apply that refund to an earlier tax year. However, since 18 March 2019, this rule no longer applies. The government made this change as part of a big update to tax rules in 2019.
