Section 1087: Chargeable payments not deductible in calculating profits
3157.This section sets out the corporation tax treatment for the payer of a chargeable payment made within five years after an exempt distribution. It is based on section 214(1) of ICTA.
3158.The chargeable payment is treated as a distribution for corporation tax purposes in the case of the payer. That is, the payer does not get a deduction for the payment. If the recipient is a company it is chargeable to corporation tax on the receipt – see section 1086 – despite the treatment in the hands of the payer as a distribution.
