WRA may by notice issued to the person who made the return amend it to make good the insufficiency.
[F2(1A)If, during the period when an enquiry into a tax return is in progress, WRA forms the opinion—
(a)that the amount of tax credit claimed in the tax return is excessive, and
(b)that, unless the return is immediately amended, there is likely to be a loss of devolved tax,
WRA may by notice issued to the person who made the return amend it so that the amount claimed is no longer excessive.]
(2)If the enquiry is one that is limited by section 44(2) to matters arising from an amendment of the tax return,
