RL 6Commissioner repaying RLWT
An amount of RLWT paid in relation to a person’s disposal of residential land may be repaid by the Commissioner to the person if and to the extent to which—
- a tax credit for the RLWT is likely to be a surplus credit under section BC 8(4) for the relevant tax year, treating the person as only having income and deductions for land for the tax year and the relevant tax rate provided in section RL 4(3); and
- the person has no outstanding tax obligations under the Inland Revenue Acts; and
- the person gives the Commissioner the information in the form prescribed under section 54D of the Tax Administration Act 1994, including any prescribed accompanying documents.
For the purposes of section LB 6B (Tax credits for RLWT), an amount of RLWT repaid by the Commissioner is treated as not paid in relation to the residential land that the person disposed of.
