LC 1: When net income under low income amount
or “This old rule about tax credits for low-income earners no longer applies”
You could also call this:

“This provision about income in a specific range no longer applies”

This section of the law used to talk about what happens when your net income falls within a certain range called the ‘low income abatement range’. However, it’s important for you to know that this part of the law no longer applies. It was removed on 29 May 2008, and the change took effect from 1 April 2008. This means that the rules that were once described here are no longer in use.
