Subsection (3) of section 124 (substituted by paragraph 4 of Schedule 29 to the 1996 Act) provides that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue (“the Board”) may by regulations provide that subsection (1)(b) of section 124 shall be taken not to apply to a payment of interest unless the person by or through whom the payment is made (“the relevant payer”) has received a declaration confirming that one of the relevant conditions is satisfied, or the Board have issued a notice to the relevant payer stating that they consider that one or both of the relevant conditions is satisfied.
