Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 Explanatory Notes

Section 809BZI: Deemed interest

1146.This section allows income tax relief to be given if there is a type 2 finance arrangement. It is based on section 774D(6), (8), (12) and (13) of ICTA.

1147.Subsection (1) lays down the conditions for this section to apply and introduces the person (namely, the transferor) eligible for income tax relief.

1148.Subsection (2) permits the transferor to treat the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(c) as interest payable on a loan. If the relevant statutory conditions are met, the deemed interest qualifies for income tax relief under Chapter 1 of Part 8 of ITA.

1149.Subsection (3) extends subsection (1)(c) to cover the case in which the transferor prepares accounts which, in accordance with GAAP, record an amount as a finance charge in respect of the advance (even though the partnership does not).

1150.If subsection (2) deems there to be interest payable, subsection (4) determines when it is deemed to be paid.
