“(2A) In any case where—

(a) on a claim under section 393A(1) of the principal Act, the whole or any part of a loss incurred in an accounting period (the “later period) is set off for the purposes of corporation tax against profits of a preceding accounting period (the “earlier period),

(b) the earlier period does not fall wholly within the period of twelve months immediately preceding the later period, and

(c) if the claim had not been made, an amount of corporation tax assessed for the earlier period would carry interest in accordance with this section,
