Corporation Tax Act 2009

Section 186: Election for spreading if section 185 applies

704.This section provides for an election to be made if there is a receipt (following a change to mark to market) under section 185. It is based on paragraph 9 of Schedule 22 to FA 2002. The corresponding rule for income tax is in section 237 of ITTOIA.

705.The election is to spread the adjustment receipt over six periods of account beginning with the first one in which the new basis is adopted. As the receipt is postponed under section 185 until the asset is realised, this first period is not necessarily the one in which the charge would be made without the election.

706.“Period of account” is defined in section 832(1) of ICTA.
