20 Offset of refund against other tax liability
(1) Instead of making a refund to a taxpayer, the commissioner may apply
the amount that would otherwise be refunded to meet tax or any other
amount payable by the taxpayer under a tax law.
(2) A refund may be credited towards a taxpayer’s future liability, but
only with the taxpayer’s consent.
