:111 [[Credit for Foreign Tax]]
  
There is a special arrangement for holders of licences for the 2017/18 edition.  The useful life of the 2017 licence was cut short, because the new Finance Bill timetable brought this year's Finance Bill forward from July to March.  Accordingly holders of 2017/18 licences qualify for a discount when purchasing licences for the 2018/19 edition of TFD online.  The discount is 50% of the cost of the 2017/18 licences.

Holders of old (2017/18) licences no longer have access to the 2018/19 edition.  For that you will need a new 2018/19 licence.
