Section 54: Non-UK resident company: receipts of interest, dividends or royalties
210.This section prohibits the deduction of losses under section 37 or45 or under section 436A of ICTA to the extent that such losses arise to a non-UK resident company as a result of excluding certain kinds of tax exempt income from the company’s profits. It is based on section 808 of ICTA.
211.The source legislation was in Part 18 of ICTA (double taxation relief). The rewritten section is with other sections which restrict or otherwise affect the use of losses.
212.A non-UK resident company may utilise any losses that arise under section 37 or 45 provided that those losses are calculated on the basis that receipts of tax-exempt interest, dividends or royalties are included in the company’s profits.
