437 General annuity business. U.K.

[F64 [F65 (1A) In the computation [F66 under the I minus E basis] of the [F67 relevant profits (within the meaning of section 88(1) of the Finance Act 1989) of an insurance company for any accounting period], new annuities paid by the company in that period shall be brought into account by treating an amount equal to the income limit for that period [F68 as expenses payable which fall to be brought into account for that period at Step 3 in section 76(7)].]

(1C) For the purposes of this section [F69 (but subject to subsections (1CA) to (1CD) below)]—

(i) section 718 of that Act were omitted, and

(ii) that exemption were an exemption applying in relation to companies as well as individuals.]]

[F76 (1CA) Where a new annuity (“the actual annuity”) is a steep-reduction annuity, the income limit for an accounting period of the company paying the annuity shall be computed for the purposes of this section as if—

(a) the contract providing for the actual annuity provided instead for the annuities identified by subsections (1CB) and (1CC) below; and

(b) the consideration for each of those annuities were to be determined by the making of a just and reasonable apportionment of the consideration for the actual annuity.

(1CB) The annuities mentioned in subsection (1CA)(a) above are—

(a) an annuity the payments in respect of which are confined to the payments in respect of the actual annuity that fall to be made before the earliest time for the making in respect of the actual annuity of a reduced payment such as is mentioned in section 437A(1)(c); and

(b) subject to subsection (1CC) below, an annuity the payments in respect of which are all the payments in respect of the actual annuity other than those mentioned in paragraph (a) above.

(1CC) Where an annuity identified by paragraph (b) of subsection (1CB) above (“the later annuity”) would itself be a steep-reduction annuity, the annuities mentioned in subsection (1CA)(a) above—

(a) shall not include the later annuity; but

(b) shall include, instead, the annuities which would be identified by subsection (1CB) above (with as many further applications of this subsection as may be necessary for securing that none of the annuities mentioned in subsection (1CA)(a) above is a steep-reduction annuity) if references in that subsection to the actual annuity were references to the later annuity.

(1CD) Subsections (1CA) to (1CC) above shall be construed in accordance with section 437A.]

(a) a payment in respect of an annuity is made by an insurance company under a group annuity contract made in an accounting period beginning before 1st January 1992,

(b) the company’s liabilities first include an amount in respect of that annuity in an accounting period beginning on or after that date, and

(c) the company’s liability in respect of that annuity is referable to its basic life assurance and general annuity business,

the payment shall be treated for the purposes of this section, other than this subsection, as if the group annuity contract had been made in an accounting period beginning on or after 1st January 1992 (and, accordingly, as payment of a new annuity).

(1E) In any case where—

(a) a payment in respect of an annuity is made by a reinsurer under a reinsurance treaty made in an accounting period beginning before 1st January 1992,

(b) the reinsurer’s liabilities first include an amount in respect of that annuity in an accounting period beginning on or after that date, and

(c) the reinsurer’s liability in respect of that annuity is referable to its basic life assurance and general annuity business,

the payment shall, as respects the reinsurer, be treated for the purposes of this section, other than this subsection, as if the reinsurance treaty had been made in an accounting period beginning on or after 1st January 1992 (and, accordingly, as payment of a new annuity).

• “reinsurance treaty” means a contract under which one insurance company is obliged to cede, and another (in this section referred to as a “reinsurer”) to accept, the whole or part of a risk of a class or description to which the contract relates.]

[F82 437A Meaning of “steep-reduction annuity” etc. U.K.

(1) For the purposes of section 437 an annuity is a steep-reduction annuity if—

(a) the amount of any payment in respect of the annuity (but not the term of the annuity) depends on any contingency other than the duration of a human life or lives;

(b) the annuitant is entitled in respect of the annuity to payments of different amounts at different times; and

(c) those payments include a payment (“a reduced payment”) of an amount which is substantially smaller than the amount of at least one of the earlier payments in respect of that annuity to which the annuitant is entitled.

(2) Where there are different intervals between payments to which an annuitant is entitled in respect of any annuity, the question whether or not the conditions in subsection (1)(b) and (c) above are satisfied in the case of that annuity shall be determined by assuming—

(a) that the annuitant’s entitlement, after the first payment, to payments in respect of that annuity is an entitlement to payments at yearly intervals on the anniversary of the first payment; and

(b) that the amount to which the annuitant is assumed to be entitled on each such anniversary is equal to the annuitant’s assumed entitlement for the year ending with that anniversary.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above an annuitant’s assumed entitlement for any year shall be determined as follows—

(a) the annuitant’s entitlement to each payment in respect of the annuity shall be taken to accrue at a constant rate during the interval between the previous payment and that payment; and

(b) his assumed entitlement for any year shall be taken to be equal to the aggregate of the amounts which, in accordance with paragraph (a) above, are treated as accruing in that year.

(4) In the case of an annuity to which subsection (2) above applies, the reference in section 437(1CB)(a) to the making of a reduced payment shall be construed as if it were a reference to the making of a payment in respect of that annuity which (applying subsection (3)(a) above) is taken to accrue at a rate that is substantially less than the rate at which at least one of the earlier payments in respect of that annuity is taken to accrue.

(5) Where—

(a) any question arises for the purposes of this section whether the amount of any payment in respect of any annuity—

(i) is substantially smaller than the amount of, or

(ii) accrues at a rate substantially less than,

an earlier payment in respect of that annuity, and

(b) the annuitant or, as the case may be, every annuitant is an individual who is beneficially entitled to all the rights conferred on him as such an annuitant,

that question shall be determined without regard to so much of the difference between the amounts or rates as is referable to a reduction falling to be made as a result of the occurrence of a death.

(6) Where the amount of any one or more of the payments to which an annuitant is entitled in respect of an annuity depends on any contingency, his entitlement to payments in respect of that annuity shall be determined for the purposes of section 437(1CA) to (1CC) and this section according to whatever (applying any relevant actuarial principles) is the most likely outcome in relation to that contingency.

(7) Where any agreement or arrangement has effect for varying the rights of an annuitant in relation to a payment in respect of any annuity, that payment shall be taken, for the purposes of section 437(1CA) to (1CC) and this section, to be a payment of the amount to which the annuitant is entitled in accordance with that agreement or arrangement.

(8) References in this section to a contingency include references to a contingency that consists wholly or partly in the exercise by any person of any option.]

[F148 440C Modifications for change of tax basis U.K.

(1) Subsection (2) makes provision for a case where—

(a) subsection (4) of section 431G applies in relation to the profits of the life assurance business of an insurance company for any accounting period, but

(b) the profits of that business for a succeeding accounting period fall to be charged to tax [F149 under section 35 of CTA 2009 (charge on trade profits)] by virtue of subsection (3) of that section.

(2) The loss referred to in section 431G(4)(b) (less any loss for the same accounting period set off under section 436A for any intervening accounting period and any amount deducted for any such period in respect of the loss by virtue of section 85A(3)(b) of the Finance Act 1989) may be [F150 relieved under section 45 of CTA 2010] against profits of that succeeding accounting period (without being reduced in accordance with section 434A(2)(a)).

(3) In determining whether any loss has been set off under section 436A for any intervening accounting period, or whether any amount has been deducted for any such period in respect of the loss by virtue of section 85A(3)(b) of the Finance Act 1989, losses of earlier accounting periods are to be assumed to be set off before those of later accounting periods.

(4) Subsection (5) makes provision for a case where—

(a) a loss arises to an insurance company for an accounting period for which the profits of its life assurance business fall to be charged to tax [F151 under section 35 of CTA 2009] by virtue of section 431G(3)(b),

(b) the profits of that business for a subsequent accounting period are charged to tax under the I minus E basis, and

(c) had those profits (instead) been charged to tax [F152 under section 35 of CTA 2009], any of that loss would have been available to be set off against them under [F153 section 45 of CTA 2010].

(5) The loss is to be treated for the purposes of the operation of section 436A in relation to the subsequent accounting period as if it were a loss arising from its gross roll-up business in the accounting period in which it arose.

(6) Subsections (7) and (8) make provision for a case where—

(a) the profits of the life assurance business of an insurance company for an accounting period are charged to tax under the I minus E basis,

(b) the profits of that business for its next accounting period fall to be charged to tax [F154 under section 35 of CTA 2009] by virtue of section 431G(3), and

(c) that prevents the giving of relief in accordance with section 86(8) of the Finance Act 1989 (acquisition expenses relieved in fractions under section 76).

(7) Any relief which would have been so given in—

(a) the next accounting period, or

(b) any subsequent accounting period for which the profits of the company's life assurance business continue to be charged to tax [F155 under section 35 of CTA 2009],

may be given by set-off against any gains treated as accruing under section 213(1) of the 1992 Act at the end of the accounting period.

(8) But if the profits of the company's life assurance business for a subsequent accounting period are charged to tax under the I minus E basis, any relief not previously given under subsection (7) is to be treated for the purposes of the operation of section 76 in relation to the first subsequent accounting period for which profits are so charged as if it were an amount which is to be relieved under that section by virtue of section 86(8) and (9) of the Finance Act 1989.]

[F169 442A Taxation of investment return where risk reinsured. U.K.

(1) Where an insurance company reinsures any risk in respect of a policy or contract attributable to its basic life assurance and general annuity business, the investment return on the policy or contract shall be treated as accruing to the company [F170 while the risk remains reinsured by the company under] the reinsurance arrangement and shall be charged to tax under [F171 the charge to corporation tax on income].

(2) The Board may make provision by regulations as to the amount of investment return to be treated as accruing in each accounting period during which the reinsurance arrangement is in force.

(3) The regulations may, in particular, provide that the investment return to be treated as accruing to the company in respect of a policy or contract in any accounting period shall be calculated by reference to—

(a) the aggregate of the sums paid by the company to the reinsurer during that accounting period and any earlier accounting periods by way of premium or otherwise;

(b) the aggregate of the sums paid by the reinsurer to the company during that accounting period and any earlier accounting periods by way of commission or otherwise;

(c) the aggregate amount of the net investment return treated as accruing to the company in any earlier accounting periods, that is to say, net of tax at such rate as may be prescribed; and

(d) such percentage rate of return as may be prescribed.

[F172 (3A) Where a transfer of the reinsurance arrangement from one insurance company (“the transferor”) to another (“the transferee”) is effected by novation or an insurance business transfer scheme, for the purpose of calculating the investment return to be treated as accruing to the transferee in respect of the policy or contract after the transfer, the references to the company in subsection (3)(a), (b) and (c) above include (as well as the transferee)—

(a) the transferor, and

(b) any insurance company from which the reinsurance arrangement was transferred on an earlier transfer effected by novation or an insurance business transfer scheme.]

(4) The regulations shall provide that the amount of investment return to be treated as accruing F173 . . . in respect of a policy or contract in the final accounting period during which the policy or contract is in force is the amount, ascertained in accordance with regulations, by which the profit over the whole period during which the policy or contract, and the reinsurance arrangement, were in force exceeds the aggregate of the amounts treated as accruing in earlier accounting periods.

If that profit is less than the aggregate of the amounts treated as accruing in earlier accounting periods, the difference shall go to reduce the amounts treated by virtue of this section as arising in that accounting period from other policies or contracts, and if not fully so relieved may be carried forward and set against any such amounts in subsequent accounting periods.

(5) Regulations under this section—

(a) may exclude from the operation of this section such descriptions of insurance company, such descriptions of policies or contracts and such descriptions of reinsurance arrangements as may be prescribed;

(b) may make such supplementary provision as to the ascertainment of the investment return to be treated as accruing to the company as appears to the Board to be appropriate, including provision requiring payments made during an accounting period to be treated as made on such date or dates as may be prescribed; and

(c) may make different provision for different cases or descriptions of case.

(6) In this section “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations under this section.]

[F179 (2) Any expenses payable which ([F180 making the assumptions in subsection (3B) below]) would have fallen to be brought into account by the transferor in determining the deduction for expenses payable to be allowed under section 76 in computing profits for an accounting period following the period which ends with the day on which the transfer takes place shall, instead, be brought into account under and in accordance with that section by the transferee as expenses payable by him (and giving effect in the case of acquisition expenses, to section 86(6) to (9) of the Finance Act 1989).]

(3) Any loss which ([F180 making the assumptions in subsection (3B) below])—

(a) would have been available under section [F181 436A(4)] to be set off against profits of the transferor for the accounting period following that which ends with the day on which transfer takes place, F182 . . .
