Commentary on Sections Structure of Chapters Overview Section 554: Person liable
2169.This section states who is liable for any tax charged. It is based on section 59 of ICTA.
2170.Section 56(2) of ICTA, as extended by section 56A(3)(a) of ICTA, sets out in rather elaborate terms the persons whose exercise of a deposit right results in the profits being charged to tax. But section 59 of ICTA achieves the same effect by simpler means, so those parts of sections 56 and 56A of ICTA are not rewritten.
