15(1)Amount B arises if paragraph (b) of section 179(2) (loan repayment date to be within five years unless postponed) is not complied with.

(2)Amount B is—

Formula - (DLRP divided by DFY multipled by 100) minus 100 divided by 100 multiplied by AO
  • where—

    • DLRP is the number of days in the period which begins with the date on which the loan is made and ends with the loan repayment date,

    • DFY is the number of days in the period which begins with the date on which the loan is made and ends five years after that date, and

    • AO is the amount owing (including interest) at the relevant time.

(3)But if the amount produced by the fraction in sub-paragraph (2) is greater than 1, amount B is the amount owing (including interest) at the relevant time.
