2995.This section provides that, even if the payment is not chargeable to income tax in a company’s hands, this does not affect whether a payment to a company should be subject to deduction of a sum representing income tax. It is based on section 7(1) and (4) of ICTA.
2996.Subsection (2) clarifies that receipt by another person on behalf of, or in trust for, the company is to be treated as receipt by the company. Conversely, if a company receives a payment on behalf of, or in trust for another person, that does not require that the payment be treated as received by that company. If company A receives a payment on behalf of company B, the payment is treated as received by company B.
