(4) For the purposes of this paragraph—

[F16 (10) In this paragraph—

“latest section 11 return”, in the case of an accounting period of a company (“the current accounting period”), means, subject to sub-paragraph (11) below, the section 11 return for the latest preceding accounting period of the company for which such a return has been delivered before the making of the first claim for a provisional repayment for the current accounting period;

“section 11 return”, in the case of any company, means a return delivered by the company pursuant to section 11 of the Management Act and includes a reference to any accounts, statements or reports delivered pursuant to that section together with the return;

“self-assessment” means an assessment included in a return under section 11 of the Management Act by virtue of section 11AA of that Act and includes a reference to such an assessment as amended under section 11AA(2) or 28A(3) or (4) of that Act.

(11) In any case where—

(a) there is a section 11 return which would, apart from this sub-paragraph, be the latest section 11 return in the case of an accounting period of a company,

(b) the self-assessment required to be included in that return pursuant to section 11AA of the Management Act has been amended under section 11AA(2) or 28A(3) or (4) of that Act, and

(c) that amendment was made before the making of the first claim for a provisional repayment for the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) above,

the return which is to be regarded as the latest section 11 return in the case of that accounting period shall be that return as it stands amended immediately after the making of that amendment of the self-assessment (or, if the self-assessment has been so amended more than once, that return as it stands amended immediately after the making of the last such amendment) but ignoring amendments which do not give rise to any change in the fraction which, on the basis of the return as it has effect from time to time, would be the relevant fraction for the purposes of section 432A(5) for the accounting period to which the return relates.]
