(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) investments are not held for a business or other commercial purpose if they are held directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any arrangements for securing a tax advantage.
(3)In subsection (2) “arrangements for securing a tax advantage” means arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure—

or any other provision of the Corporation Tax Acts.
(2)Amounts that are treated as expenses of management under any provision listed in subsection (3) are deductible under section 1219 as if they were expenses of management of the company's investment business.
(3)The provisions are—

(c)the source is property or rights used by, or held by or for, that establishment, and
(d)the income is not franked investment income.
(3)The amount of that income is deducted from the amount (if any) that would otherwise be deductible under section 1219 for the accounting period in which the income arises.
(1)This section applies if, in an accounting period of a company with investment business, any amount falling within subsection (2) cannot be deducted in full because the profits from which the amount is deductible are insufficient.
(2)The amounts are—
(a)expenses of management deductible under section 1219,
(b)charges on income paid in the accounting period, so far as they are paid for the purposes of the company's investment business, and
(c)amounts brought forward to the period under this section.
(3)The excess is treated for the purposes of section 1219 as expenses of management deductible for the next accounting period.
(4)For the purposes of this section a charge on income which arises from a disposal such as is mentioned in section 587B(1) of ICTA (gifts of shares, securities and real property to charities etc) is taken to be paid when the disposal is made.
(5)See also section 392A(3) of ICTA (which is about unused Schedule A losses).
(1)Sections 1225 to 1227 explain which is the accounting period to which expenses of management are referable.
(2)But those sections do not affect any provision—
(a)in Chapter 3, or
(b)elsewhere in the Corporation Tax Acts,
which provides for amounts to be treated as expenses of management referable to an accounting period.
(1)If—
(a)expenses of management are debited in accounts drawn up by a company for a period of account,
(b)the treatment of those expenses in those accounts is in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, and
(c)the period of account coincides with an accounting period,
the expenses of management are referable to that accounting period.
(2)If—
(a)expenses of management are debited in accounts drawn up by a company for a period of account, and
(b)the treatment of those expenses in those accounts is in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, but
(c)the period of account does not coincide with an accounting period,
the expenses of management are apportioned between any accounting periods that fall within the period of account (and are referable to accounting periods so far as they are apportioned to them).
(3)An apportionment under subsection (2) must be made in accordance with section 1311 (time basis) or, if it appears that that method would work unreasonably or unjustly, on a just and reasonable basis.
(1)Subsection (2) applies if—
(a)a company incurs expenses of management, and
(b)the company draws up accounts for a particular period of account, and
(c)the expenses of management would have been debited in those accounts if they had been treated in those accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, but
(d)they are not debited in those accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.
(2)The expenses of management are referable to the accounting period to which they would have been referable under section 1225(1) or (2) if they had been debited in those accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.
(1)If—
(a)a company does not draw up accounts, or does not draw them up for a particular period, and
(b)as a result, expenses of management are not referable to an accounting period under section 1225 or 1226,
take the following steps to determine the accounting period to which they are referable.
(2)The steps are—
Step 1
Assume that for each accounting period of the company that does not coincide with, or fall within, any period of account there is a period of account that coincides with it.
Step 2
If it would be in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting practice to debit the expenses of management, or any part of them, in accounts drawn up by the company for that deemed period of account, assume that they are so debited.
Step 3
Making those assumptions, apply section 1225(1).
For the purposes of sections 1229 and 1230, a credit reverses the whole or part of a debit in any case where the credit falls to be made because—
(a)the sum represented in whole or in part by the debit is paid and then wholly or partly repaid, or
(b)the sum represented by the debit is never paid.
(1)This section applies if—
(a)a credit is brought into account by a company in a period of account (“the period of the credit”),
(b)the credit reverses (in whole or in part) a debit brought into account in a previous period of account of the company,
(c)the debit (or part of it) represents expenses of management deductible under section 1219 for an accounting period which ends before, or at the same time as, the period of the credit, and
(d)the expenses of management are not expenses brought forward to that period under section 1223.
For cases involving an absence of accounts see also section 1231.
(2)The reversal amount (see section 1230) is dealt with in accordance with subsection (3) or (5).
(3)If the period of the credit coincides with an accounting period of the company—
(a)the reversal amount is, as far as possible, applied in reducing (but not below nil) the company's expenses of management belonging to that period, and
(b)if not all of the amount can be applied in that way, the remainder is to be treated as a receipt of the company chargeable for that period under the charge to corporation tax on income.
(4)For the purposes of subsection (3), the expenses of management belonging to a period are the expenses of management that are deductible for that period, excluding any amounts brought forward under section 1223.
(5)If the period of the credit does not coincide with an accounting period of the company—
(a)the reversal amount is apportioned between any accounting periods that fall within the period of the credit, and
(b)paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (3) are applied to any amount that is apportioned to an accounting period.
(6)An apportionment under subsection (5) must be made in accordance with section 1311 (time basis) or, if it appears that that method would work unreasonably or unjustly, on a just and reasonable basis.
(1)This section gives the meaning of “reversal amount” for the purposes of this Part.
(2)If a credit reverses the whole or part of a debit, the reversal amount is found as follows.
Step 1
Take however much of the credit reverses the debit.
Step 2
Reduce that (if applicable) to however much of the credit reverses the part of the debit that represents expenses of management deductible under section 1219.
Step 3
Reduce that (if applicable) to exclude any part of the credit that represents sums otherwise taken into account in calculating for corporation tax purposes the profits and losses of the company for the relevant accounting period or an earlier accounting period.
(3)In this section “relevant accounting period” means the latest accounting period of the company that falls wholly or partly within the period of the credit (see section 1229(1)(a)).
(1)This section sets out how section 1229 operates if a company has an accounting period that neither coincides with nor falls within any period of account.
(2)Section 1229 operates as if—
(a)there were a period of account of the company that coincides with that accounting period, and
(b)in calculating for accounting purposes the company's profits and losses for that period of account, amounts were brought into account in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting practice.
(3)The references in section 1251(3)(b) (car F1... hire) to credits and debits include credits and debits that are deemed to be made by virtue of this section.
