FM 24: General treatment of foreign dividends
or “This section about foreign dividend rules has been removed from the law”
You could also call this:

“This provision about reducing foreign dividend payments no longer applies”

This part of the law was about reducing payments for foreign dividends. It was part of the rules for how foreign dividends are treated in the Income Tax Act 2007. However, this section no longer applies. It was removed from the law on 6 October 2009, but the change was meant to work from 1 April 2009. This means that since then, there have been no special rules in this section about reducing payments for foreign dividends.
