“40A Revenue nature of expenditure on master versions of films

(1) Expenditure incurred on the production or acquisition of a master version of a film is to be regarded for the purposes of the Tax Acts as expenditure of a revenue nature unless an election under section 40D below has effect with respect to it.

(2) If expenditure on the master version of a film is regarded as expenditure of a revenue nature under subsection (1) above, sums received from the disposal of the master version are to be regarded for the purposes of the Tax Acts as receipts of a revenue nature (if they would not be so regarded apart from this subsection).

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above sums received from the disposal of a master version of a film include—

(a) sums received from the disposal of any interest or right in or over the master version, including an interest or right created by the disposal, and

(b) insurance, compensation or similar money derived from the master version.

(4) In this section—

(a) “expenditure of a revenue nature” means expenditure which, if it were incurred in the course of a trade the profits of which are chargeable to tax under Case I of Schedule D, would be taken into account for the purpose of computing the profits or losses of the trade, and

(b) “receipts of a revenue nature” means receipts which, if they were receipts of such a trade, would be taken into account for that purpose.

(5) For the purposes of this section and sections 40B to 40D below, a “master version” of a film means a master negative, master tape or master audio disc of the film and includes any rights in the film (or its soundtrack) that are held or acquired with the master negative, master tape or master audio disc.

40B Allocation of expenditure to periods

(1) In computing the profits or gains accruing to any person from a trade or business which consists of or includes the exploitation of master versions of films, expenditure which is—

(a) incurred on the production or acquisition of a master version of a film, and

(b) expenditure of a revenue nature (whether as a result of section 40A above or otherwise),

must be allocated to relevant periods in accordance with this section.

(2) Subsection (1) above does not apply if an election under section 40D below has effect with respect to the expenditure.

(3) In this section “relevant period” means—

(a) a period for which the accounts of the trade or business concerned are made up, or

(b) if no accounts of the trade or business concerned are made up for a period—

(i) if the profits or gains accrue to a company within the charge to corporation tax, the accounting period of the company;

(ii) in any other case, the period the profits or gains of which are taken into account in assessing the income of the trade or business for a year of assessment.

(4) The amount of expenditure falling within subsection (1) above which falls to be allocated to any relevant period is so much as is just and reasonable, having regard to—

(a) the amount of that expenditure which remains unallocated at the beginning of that period,

(b) the proportion which the estimated value of the master version of the film which is realised in that period (whether by way of income or otherwise) bears to the aggregate of the value so realised and the estimated remaining value of the master version at the end of that period, and

(c) the need to bring the whole of the expenditure falling within subsection (1) above into account over the time during which the value of the master version is expected to be realised.

(5) In addition to any expenditure which is allocated to a relevant period in accordance with subsection (4) above, if a claim is made, there must also be allocated to that period so much of the unallocated expenditure as is specified in the claim and does not exceed the difference between—

(a) the amount allocated to that period in accordance with subsection (4) above, and

(b) the value of the master version of the film which is realised in that period (whether by way of income or otherwise).

(6) A claim under subsection (5) above must be made—

(a) for the purposes of income tax, on or before the first anniversary of the 31st January next following the year of assessment in which ends the relevant period mentioned in that subsection;

(b) for the purposes of corporation tax, not later than two years after the end of the relevant period to which the claim relates.

(7) In subsection (5) above “the unallocated expenditure”, in relation to a relevant period, is any expenditure falling within subsection (1) above—

(a) which does not fall to be allocated to that period in accordance with subsection (4) above, and

(b) which has not been allocated to any earlier relevant period in accordance with subsection (4) or (5) above.

40C Cases where section 40B does not apply

(1) To the extent that a deduction has been made in respect of any expenditure for a relevant period under section 42 below—

(a) that expenditure must not be allocated under section 40B above, and

(b) no other expenditure incurred on the production or acquisition of the master version of the film is to be allocated under section 40B above to the relevant period.

(2) Section 40B above does not apply to the profits of a trade in which the master version of the film constitutes trading stock, as defined by section 100(2) of the Taxes Act 1988.

40D Election for sections 40A and 40B not to apply

(1) Sections 40A and 40B above do not apply to expenditure—

(a) in relation to which an election is made under this section, and

(b) which meets the conditions in subsection (2) below.

(2) The conditions are that—

(b) for the purposes of corporation tax, not later than two years after the end of the relevant period in which the master version of the film is completed.

(5) In subsection (4) above “relevant period” has the same meaning as in section 40B above.

(6) For the purposes of subsection (4) above, the master version of a film is completed—

(a) at the time when it is first in a form in which it can reasonably be regarded as ready for copies of it to be made and distributed for presentation to the public, or

(b) if the expenditure in question was incurred on the acquisition of the master version and it was acquired after the time mentioned in paragraph (a) above, at the time it was acquired.

(7) An election may not be made under this section in relation to expenditure on a master version of a film if a claim has been made in respect of any of that expenditure under section 41 or 42 below.”

(2) Sections 401 and 402 apply to old expenditure if—

(a) that expenditure was incurred on mineral exploration and access,

(b) immediately before 1st April 1986, no allowance had been made under Chapter III of Part I of CAA 1968 in respect of it, and

(c) after that day and before mineral exploration and access ceases at the source in question, the person by whom the expenditure was incurred began or begins to carry on a trade of mineral extraction.

In this sub-paragraph “source” has the same meaning as it had in Schedule 14 to FA 1986.

(3) For the purposes of Part 5—

(a) expenditure which by virtue of any provision of section 119 of CAA 1990 (read with any provision of Schedule 14 to FA 1986) was treated immediately before the coming into force of this Act as expenditure incurred on 1st April 1986 for any purpose or purposes is to continue to be so treated;

(b) any allowances treated as having been made under Schedule 13 to FA 1986 is to continue to be so treated;

(c) any amount treated as qualifying expenditure for the purposes of that Schedule is to continue to be so treated; and

(d) in relation to any expenditure to which paragraph 6(4)(a) of Schedule 14 to FA 1986 applied, section 424 does not apply (so that no deduction is to be made from the amount of any disposal receipt by reference to the undeveloped market value of the land in question).

(4) In the case of expenditure incurred in the acquisition of a mineral asset, nothing in sub-paragraph (3)(c) affects the time as at which under section 404 the undeveloped market value of an interest is to be determined.

(5) In a case where—

(a) by virtue of any provision of this paragraph, the whole or any part of the outstanding balance (within the meaning of paragraph 1 of Schedule 14 to FA 1986) of an item of old expenditure is treated for the purposes of Part 5 as qualifying expenditure, and

(b) a balancing charge falls to be made under Chapter 6 of that Part in respect of the expenditure,

then, in determining the amount on which that charge falls to be made, subsection (4) of section 418 has effect (subject to sub-paragraph (6)) as if paragraph (b) of that subsection included a reference to allowances made in respect of the item under Chapter III of Part I of CAA 1968.

(6) Where the qualifying expenditure in respect of which a balancing charge falls to be made represents part only of the outstanding balance of an item of old expenditure, the reference in sub-paragraph (5) to allowances made in respect of that item is to be construed as a reference to such part of those allowances as it is just and reasonable to apportion to that part of the balance (having regard to any apportionment made under paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 14 to FA 1986).

Part 8 U.K. Research and development allowances

Disposal of oil licences U.K.

91 (1) Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply where—

(b) part of the value of the interest is attributable to allowable exploration expenditure incurred by the transferor, and

(c) an election is made in accordance with this paragraph specifying an amount as the amount to be treated as so attributable.

(2) Chapter 3 of Part 6 has effect in relation to the disposal as if—

(a) the disposal were a disposal by which an asset representing the allowable exploration expenditure ceases to belong to the transferor, and

(b) the disposal value of that asset were an amount equal to the amount specified in the election.

(3) For the purposes of Part 5 of this Act, the amount of any expenditure incurred—

(a) by the transferee in acquiring the interest from the transferor, or

(b) by any person subsequently acquiring the interest (or an interest deriving from the interest),

which is taken to be attributable to expenditure incurred, before the disposal to the transferee, on mineral exploration and access is the lesser of the amount specified in the election and the amount which, apart from this sub-paragraph, would be taken to be so attributable.

(4) An election—

(a) must be made by notice to [F38 the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs] given by the transferor, and

(b) subject to sub-paragraph (5), does not have effect unless a copy of it is served on the transferee and the transferee consents to it.

(5) If the Special Commissioners are satisfied—

(a) that the disposal was made under or in pursuance of an agreement entered into by the transferor and the transferee on the mutual understanding that a quantified (or quantifiable) part of the value of the interest disposed of was attributable to allowable exploration expenditure, and

(b) that the part quantified in accordance with that understanding and the amount specified in the election are the same,

they may dispense with the need for the transferee to consent to the election.

(6) Any question falling to be determined by the Special Commissioners under sub-paragraph (5) is to be determined by them in the same way as an appeal; but both the transferor and the transferee are entitled to appear and be heard by those Commissioners or to make representations to them in writing.

(7) Subject to sub-paragraph (8), an election may specify any amount, including a nil amount, as the amount to be treated as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c).

(8) Where—

(a) a return has been made for a chargeable period of the transferor, and

(b) the return includes, at the time when it is made, an amount which, disregarding the provisions of this paragraph, would be treated under Chapter 3 of Part 6 as a trading receipt accruing in that period,

the election must not specify an amount less than the amount included in the return unless [F38 the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs] agrees the lesser amount in question.

(9) An election made in accordance with this paragraph—

(a) is irrevocable, and

(b) may not be varied after it is made.

(10) For the purposes of this paragraph a disposal is a disposal made during the transitional period if it is one made—

(a) before 13th September 1995, or

(b) on or after that date in pursuance of any obligation to make the disposal which, immediately before that date, was an unconditional obligation.

(11) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (10), the fact that a third party who is not connected with the transferor or the transferee may, by exercising any right or withholding any permission, prevent the fulfilment of an obligation does not prevent the obligation from being treated as unconditional.

(12) In sub-paragraph (11) the reference to a third party is a reference to any person, body, government or public authority, whether within or outside the United Kingdom.

(13) In this paragraph—

• “allowable exploration expenditure” has the same meaning as in section 555;

• “mineral exploration and access” has the same meaning as in Part 5.

(14) All such assessments and adjustments of assessments are to be made as are necessary to give effect to this paragraph.

(b) the person sells all of those rights, or so much of them as that person still owned at the beginning of the chargeable period, or

(c) the person sells part of those rights, and the net proceeds of sale for that period (so far as they consist of capital sums) are not less than the amount of the unrelieved qualifying expenditure for that period.

(2) If a writing-down allowance in respect of qualifying expenditure is prohibited by sub-paragraph (1) for a chargeable period, no writing-down allowance is to be made in respect of that expenditure for any subsequent chargeable period.

Reduced writing-down allowance U.K.

Y is the number of complete years of the writing-down period remaining at the beginning of the chargeable period.

(2) If an amount is calculated under sub-paragraph (1) for a chargeable period, that amount is also the amount of the writing-down allowance for subsequent chargeable periods until another sale in a period for which U is greater than N causes a fresh calculation to be made under sub-paragraph (1).

(3) The amount of the balancing allowance is—

(a) in the case of a sale, equal to the unrelieved qualifying expenditure for the chargeable period, less the net proceeds of sales taking place in the chargeable period (so far as they consist of capital sums), and

(b) in any other case, equal to the unrelieved qualifying expenditure for the chargeable period.

Balancing charges U.K.

100 (1) A balancing charge is made on a person for a chargeable period in respect of qualifying expenditure if in that period—

This is subject to sub-paragraphs (4) and (5).

(3) If there is some unrelieved qualifying expenditure, the amount of the balancing charge is equal to the amount by which the net proceeds of sale (so far as they consist of capital sums) exceed the unrelieved qualifying expenditure.
