“MBB 2 Availability of early­payment discount “(1) This section applies to a small­business taxpayer for an income year if the small­business taxpayer— “(a) is not required to make payments of provisional tax in the income year; and 141 Part 4 s 224 Taxation (Venture Capital and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004 2004 No 111 “(c) “(b) on or before the taxpayer’s balance date for the income year, makes payments as income tax for the income year; and throughout the period from the taxpayer’s balance date for the income year to the taxpayer’s terminal tax date for the income year, has a credit in an account with the Commissioner that is greater than or equal to the lesser of the following: “(i) the amount that, on or before the small­business taxpayer’s balance date for the income year, the small­business taxpayer pays as income tax for the income year: the amount of terminal tax for the income year for which the taxpayer would be liable in the absence of this section; and “(ii) “(d) has, for earlier income years— “(i) never been required to make payments of provi­ sional tax and— “(A) never received an early­payment discount; or “(B) derived assessable income from a busi­ ness at no time in a period of 4 income years that began after the latest income year for which the small­business taxpayer received an early­payment discount; or “(ii) derived assessable income from a business at no time in a period of 4 income years that began after the latest income year for which the small­busi­ ness taxpayer was required to make payments of provisional tax.
If a small­business taxpayer to whom this section applies makes a return of income for the income year and applies for an early­payment discount, the Commissioner must credit the income tax account of the small­business taxpayer with an early­payment discount found by multiplying the discount rate referred to in subsection (4) by the lesser of the following: the amount that, on or before the small­business tax­ “(a) payer’s balance date for the income year, the small­busi­ ness taxpayer paid as income tax for the income year: “(2) 142 2004 No 111 Taxation (Venture Capital and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004 Part 4 s 225 “(b) 105% of the small­business taxpayer’s residual income tax for the income year.

“(4) The discount rate is— “(a) “(b) 6.7% if no rate is prescribed under paragraph (b): the rate prescribed by the Governor­General by Order in Council.
