The amount of the income is found by first—

applying the formula in section 421(3) to give the basic amount (as if the company were “the partner company” mentioned in section 421), and

making any adjustment in accordance with any of sections 404 to 406 to the basic amount.

The amount is then limited to the appropriate percentage of the amount given as a result of subsection (2).
