(1)The following provisions, that is to say—
(a)subsections (4) and (5) of section twenty-five of the Finance Act, 1935 (which provide, in relation to schemes certified under that section, that deductions made for contributions shall be treated as unauthorised deductions if the contributions are repaid); and
(b)the two last preceding sections of this Act and the Fourth Schedule to this Act,
shall, subject to the adaptations specified in subsection (2) of this section, apply in relation to a statutory redundancy scheme as they apply in relation to a scheme certified under the said section twenty-five.
(2)The said adaptations are as follows, that is to say—
(a)for any reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under the said section twenty-five there shall be substituted a reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under any of the provisions of the Income Tax Acts;
(b)any provision that the said section twenty-five shall, in relation to contributions, have effect subject to modifications, shall be construed as a provision that so much of the Income Tax Acts as authorises the deduction of contributions shall, in relation to the contributions in question, have effect subject to the modifications in question;
(c)for any reference to the cancellation of a certificate with respect to a scheme there shall be substituted a reference to the scheme ceasing to have effect; and
(d)for any reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted there shall be substituted a reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when contributions were first paid thereunder.
(3)In this section the expression " a statutory redundancy scheme " means a scheme for the elimination or reduction of redundant works, machinery or plant, or for other similar purposes, to which effect is given by or under any Act (whether passed before or after this Act).
