2947.See also Change 147 in Annex 1 and the commentary on section 963.
2948.The amount to be collected is equal to the sums required to be deducted under the provisions referred to in subsections (1)(b) and (2).
2949.Subsections (3) to (5) make related provision to ensure that TMA provisions apply as necessary to support this.
2950.The liability does not arise in respect of a person’s own income tax affairs, but in relation to sums representing income tax deducted from payments a person makes.
