1 (1) In section 69(2) of the [1965 c. 25.] Finance Act 1965 (which restricts relief for management expenses for life assurance companies not charged to tax under Case I of Schedule D by reference to the corporation tax which would be payable if they were so charged) the following shall be substituted for the words from the beginning of the subsection to the end of paragraph (b):—

“(2) Relief in respect of management expenses shall not be given to any such company, whether under section 62 of this Act or under subsection (1) above, so far as it would, if given in addition to all other reliefs to which the company is entitled, reduce the income tax and corporation tax borne by the company on the income and gains of its life assurance business for any accounting period to less than would have been paid if the company had been charged to tax in respect of that business under Case I of Schedule D ; and where relief has been withheld in respect of any accounting period by virtue of this subsection, the excess to be carried forward by virtue of section 57(2) of this Act shall be increased accordingly.”

(2) Sub-paragraph (1) above shall have effect for accounting periods ending on or after 6th April 1966.
