DECEMBER 1988

8 Ha r d s h ip

The Revenue indicated that their

general approach to the imple-

men t a t i on of the terms for

borrowings up to 30 November

1985 will be reasonable, taking

into account all the circum-

stances. Hardship cases will be

looked at by reference to the date

of the borrowing and the purpose

for which used.

9 Gene r al

The acountants mentioned they

were anxious to reach a workable

arrangement on Section 36.

However, it had to be understood

that individual taxpayers would

have come to their own decision

on whether the new rules should

be challenged through the appeal

procedures.
