Item 1.5.12
1.5.12 Tax limitation due to inability to pay tax

This item applies to people who involuntarily live on a very low income over a number of years. Tax limitation is granted in only a very few cases, and only to people who are unable to provide for themselves over a long period of time.
There is no lower income threshold that entitles you to tax limitation. Tax limitation due to inability to pay tax is a means-tested exception rule.
