Corporation Tax Act 2010 Explanatory Notes

Overview

812.This Part provides for community investment tax relief (CITR), that is corporation tax reductions for companies which invest in community development finance institutions (CDFIs). It is based on Schedule 16 to FA 2002.

813.Schedule 16 to FA 2002 as enacted also provided for CITR for individuals who invested in CDFIs, by way of reduction of income tax. Relief for individuals has been rewritten in Part 7 of ITA. This Part of this Act largely mirrors Part 7 of ITA.

814.Schedule 1 to ITA has inserted sections 151BA, 151BB and 151BC in TCGA, replacing paragraphs 40 and 41 of Schedule 16 to FA 2002 and, so far as they apply for the purposes of capital gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains, paragraphs 47 and 48(2) of that Schedule. Those sections of TCGA accordingly apply in relation to CITR for both individuals and companies.
