(b)if later, the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the reporting company was appointed.
This is subject to paragraphs 9 and 57.
[F2(4)Where any of the figures contained in the previous interest restriction return have become incorrect (whether or not as a result of a member of the group amending, or being treated as amending, its company tax return), the reporting company must submit a revised interest restriction return (for the purpose of correcting those figures) to an officer of Revenue and Customs.]

(b)in a case where sub-paragraph (5B) applies, such longer period as an officer of Revenue and Customs may allow.
(5A)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5), the “relevant day” is—

(b)in any other case, the day on which the figures contained in the previous interest restriction return were found to have become incorrect.
