Section 527 of ITA: charitable trusts: exemption from charges under provisions to which section 1016 of ITA applies
1417.Section 527(2)(b) of ITA refers to section 804 of ICTA. It is drafted on the basis that section 804(5B)(a) of ICTA refers to an amount which is chargeable to income tax. But, following its amendment by ITA, section 804(5B)(a) of ICTA does not refer to an amount which is chargeable to income tax.
1418.Section 527(2)(b) of ITA purports to remove section 804 of ICTA from the scope of section 527(1) of ITA. But section 804 of ICTA is no longer within the scope of section 527(1) in the first place. Section 527(2)(b) is therefore otiose. It is repealed without replacement.
