Finance Act 2022

Application of hybrid and other mismatches rules where paragraph 44 applies U.K.

45 (1) For the purposes of subsection (2) of section 259CB of TIOPA 2010 (hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent), so far as the excess referred to in that subsection arises by reason of a qualified distribution, it is to be taken not to arise by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the security in respect of which the qualified distribution is made (whether or not it would have arisen by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the security regardless).

(2) For the purposes of subsection (7) of section 259CB of TIOPA 2010 (hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent), so far as an amount of ordinary income is under taxed by reason of a qualified distribution, it is to be taken not to be under taxed by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the security in respect of which the qualified distribution is made (even if it would have been under taxed for another reason regardless of the terms, or any other feature, of the security).

(3) That section has effect as if in subsections (4) and (8) after “(9)” there were inserted “and paragraph 45(1) and (2) of Schedule 2 to FA 2022”.

(4) Where a QAHC is obliged to make a qualified distribution as a result of a payment to it, so much of that payment as gives rise to the obligation is to be treated as ordinary income of the QAHC for the purposes of Chapter 3 of Part 6A of TIOPA 2010 (hybrid and other mismatches from financial instruments).

(5) In this paragraph—

• “qualified distribution” means a relevant distribution (see paragraph 44) that is not treated as a distribution for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as a result of paragraph 44;

• “payment”, “ordinary income” and “under taxed” have the meanings they have in Part 6A of TIOPA 2010 (see sections 259BB, 259BC and 259CC of that Act).
