Finance Act 2000

30 (1) Amend section 278 of the M1 Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 as follows. E+W+S+N.I.

(2) At the beginning, insert “ (1) ”.

(3) At the end add—

“(2) Where the amount of any deduction allowed under subsection (1) above is rendered excessive or insufficient by reason of any adjustment of the amount of any tax payable either—

(a) in the United Kingdom, or

(b) under the law of any other territory,

nothing in this Act, the Management Act or the Taxes Act limiting the time for the making of assessments or claims for relief shall apply to any assessment or claim to which the adjustment gives rise, being an assessment or claim made not later than six years from the time when all such assessments, adjustments and other determinations have been made, whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, as are material in determining whether any and if so what deduction falls to be made under subsection (1) above.

(3) Where—

(a) a deduction has been allowed under subsection (1) above in the case of the person making the disposal, and

(b) the amount of that deduction is subsequently rendered excessive by reason of an adjustment of the amount of any tax payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom,

that person shall give notice in writing to an officer of the Board that an adjustment has been made that has rendered the amount of the deduction excessive.

(4) A notice under subsection (3) above must be given within one year from the time of the making of the adjustment.

(5) A person who fails to comply with the requirements imposed on him by subsections (3) and (4) above in relation to any adjustment shall be liable to a penalty of an amount not exceeding the amount of the difference specified in subsection (6) below.

(6) The difference is that between—

(a) the amount of tax payable by the person in question for the relevant chargeable period, after giving effect to the deduction that ought to be made under subsection (1) above; and

(b) the amount that would have been the tax so payable after giving effect instead to a deduction under that subsection of the amount rendered excessive as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above.

(7) For the purposes of subsection (6) above “the relevant chargeable period” means the chargeable period as respects which the deduction was treated as made.”

(4) This paragraph has effect in relation to adjustments made on or after 21st March 2000.
