Corporation Tax Act 2010

[F1 269DL Application of enactments applying to corporation tax: assessment, recovery, double taxation etc U.K.

(1) The provision in section 269DA relating to the charging of a sum as if it were an amount of corporation tax is to be taken as applying all enactments applying generally to corporation tax.

(2) But this is subject to—

(a) the provisions of the Taxes Acts,

(b) any necessary modifications, and

(c) subsection (5).

(3) The enactments mentioned in subsection (1) include—

(a) those relating to returns of information and the supply of accounts, statements and reports,

(b) those relating to the assessing, collecting and receiving of corporation tax,

(c) those conferring or regulating a right of appeal, and

(d) those concerning administration, penalties, interest on unpaid tax and priority of tax in cases of insolvency under the law of any part of the United Kingdom.

(4) Accordingly, TMA 1970 is to have effect as if any reference to corporation tax included a sum chargeable under section 269DA as if it were an amount of corporation tax (but this does not limit subsections (1) to (3)).

(5) In the Corporation Tax (Treatment of Unrelieved Surplus Advance Corporation Tax) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/358) or any further regulations made under section 32 of FA 1998 (unrelieved surplus advance corporation tax)—

(a) references to corporation tax do not include a sum chargeable on a banking company under section 269DA as if it were an amount of corporation tax, and

(b) references to profits charged to corporation tax do not include surcharge profits.

(6) Part 2 of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief) applies to a sum chargeable under section 269DA as if it were an amount of corporation tax, subject to subsections (7) to (9).

In those subsections, “credit for foreign tax” means a credit allowable under that Part.

(7) A non-banking or pre-2016 carried-forward credit for foreign tax is not to be allowed against a sum chargeable on a company under section 269DA, for a chargeable accounting period, as if it were an amount of corporation tax.

(8) “A non-banking or pre-2016 carried-forward credit for foreign tax” is a credit for foreign tax in respect of an amount—

(a) which was an amount of a credit for foreign tax that would (ignoring section 42 of TIOPA 2010) have been allowable against corporation tax of the kind mentioned in section 72(1)(a) of that Act in an accounting period of the company—

(i) in relation to which the company was not a banking company, or

(ii) ending before 1 January 2016, and

(b) which is treated under paragraph (a) of section 73(1) of that Act as if it were foreign tax of the kind mentioned in that paragraph in relation to the chargeable accounting period.

(9) Any credit for foreign tax that is allowable against—

(a) corporation tax for an accounting period, and

(b) a sum chargeable for that period under section 269DA as if it were an amount of corporation tax,

is to be allowed against the corporation tax first, before any of the credit then remaining is allowed against the sum so chargeable.

(10) In this section “the Taxes Acts” has the same meaning as in TMA 1970 (see section 118(1) of that Act).]
