Section 264 — Excise Tax Act: Overpayment of rebate or interest

Where an amount is paid to, or applied to a liability of, a person as a rebate under section 215.1, subsection 216(6) or this Division (other than section 253) or as interest under section 297 and the person is not entitled to the rebate or interest, as the case may be, or the amount paid or applied exceeds the rebate or interest, as the case may be, to which the person is entitled, the person shall pay to the Receiver General an amount equal to the rebate, interest or excess, as the case may be, on the day the amount is paid to, or applied to a liability of, the person. For the purposes of subsection (1), to the extent that a rebate has been paid to a person in excess of the amount to which the person was entitled and the amount of the excess has, by reason of section 263, reduced the amount of any other rebate to which the person would, but for the payment of the excess, be entitled, the person shall be deemed to have paid the amount of the excess to the Receiver General.
