6U.K.After section 400 insert—

400AAdjustments for changes in index: relevant hedging schemes

(1)This section applies where—

(a)section 400 applies in relation to an amount to be brought into account for an accounting period of a company (“company A”) in respect of a security, and

(b)conditions 1 to 3 are met.

(2)Condition 1 is that company A is a party to a relevant hedging scheme at any time in the accounting period.

(3)Condition 2 is that there is an increase in the retail prices index between the times mentioned in subsection (1) of section 400.

(4)Condition 3 is that the index-linked capital return on the security in the accounting period, or a proportion of it, is hedged.

(5)Where this section applies, any increase in the carrying value of the security at the earlier of the times mentioned in subsection (1) of section 400 that would, apart from this section, be made under subsection (2) of that section is reduced—

(a)in a case in which the index-linked capital return on the security in the accounting period is wholly hedged, to nil, and

(b)in a case in which only a proportion of that return is hedged, by the same proportion.

(6)For the purposes of this section “a relevant hedging scheme” means a scheme the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of any party to which, on entering into the scheme, is to secure that the index-linked capital return on the security, or a proportion of it, is hedged.

(7)For the purposes of this section the “index-linked capital return” of the security is so much of the return on the security as—

(a)would, disregarding section 400, result in an increase in the carrying value of the security between the times mentioned in subsection (1) of that section, and

(b)is attributable to an increase in the retail prices index.

(8)For the purposes of this section the index-linked capital return on the security, or any proportion of that return, is “hedged” if (whether because of the operation of a swap or otherwise) the pre-tax economic profit or loss made by the relevant group or company in the accounting period is unaffected by it.

(9)In subsection (8) “the relevant group or company” means—

(a)company A and every other company that is at any time in the accounting period—

(i)associated with company A, and

(ii)a party to the relevant hedging scheme, or

(b)if there is no such other company, company A.

(10)In this section “scheme” includes any scheme, arrangements or understanding of any kind whatever, whether or not legally enforceable, involving a single transaction or two or more transactions.

400BInterpretation of section 400A: economic profits and losses

(1)A reference in section 400A to an “economic” profit or loss made by any person in a period is to a profit or loss made by that person in that period, computed taking into account unrealised (as well as realised) profits and losses.

(2)For the purposes of section 400A an economic profit or loss is made by a group of companies if it is made by the members of the group considered together.

(3)In determining for the purposes of section 400A the amount of an economic profit or loss made by a group of companies in any period, the economic profits and losses of each member of the group are to be computed over that period (whether or not that period is an accounting period of the member).

(4)A reference in section 400A to a “pre-tax” economic profit or loss is a reference to an economic profit or loss determined disregarding any gain or loss made as a result of the operation of any provision of the Corporation Tax Acts.

400CMeaning of “associated with”

(1)For the purposes of section 400A, a company (“company B”) is associated with company A at a time (“the relevant time”) during an accounting period of company A (“the accounting period”) if any of the following five conditions is met.

(2)The first condition is that the financial results of company A and company B, for a period that includes the relevant time, meet the consolidation condition.

(3)The second condition is that there is a connection between company A and company B for the accounting period.

(4)The third condition is that, at the relevant time, company A has a major interest in company B or company B has a major interest in company A.

(5)The fourth condition is that—

(a)the financial results of company A and a third company, for a period that includes the relevant time, meet the consolidation condition, and

(b)at the relevant time the third company has a major interest in company B.

(6)The fifth condition is that—

(a)there is a connection between company A and a third company for the accounting period, and

(b)at the relevant time the third company has a major interest in company B.

(7)In this paragraph the financial results of any two companies for any period meet “the consolidation condition” if—

(a)they are required to be comprised in group accounts prepared under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 (duty of certain parent companies to prepare group accounts), or

(b)they would be required to be comprised in such accounts but for the application of an exemption mentioned in subsection (3) of that section.

(8)Section 466 (companies connected for an accounting period) applies for the purposes of this section.

(9)In this section “scheme” includes any scheme, arrangements or understanding of any kind whatever, whether or not legally enforceable, involving a single transaction or two or more transactions.
