+
:107 [[Double Taxation Arrangements: Introduction]]
  
There is a special arrangement for holders of licences for the 2017/18 edition.  The useful life of the licence was cut short this year, 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.
+
:108 [[DTA Anti-abuse Rules]]
  
Once the updating to 2018/19 online edition is complete, holders of old (2017/18) licences will still have online access to the 2017/18 text of TFD, until the end of August. But they will not have access to the 2018/19 edition.  For that you will need a new 2018/19 licence.
