[F171BReduction of foreign tax paid on profits of overseas PEU.K.
(1)For the purposes of allowing credit relief under this Part, the amount of foreign tax paid in respect of the company's qualifying income from the PE in the accounting period is reduced (but not below nil) by the relevant amount for that period.
(2)In calculating any amount chargeable to corporation tax, any deduction for an amount of foreign tax paid in respect of the company's qualifying income from the PE in the accounting period is reduced (but not below nil) by the relevant amount for that period.
(3)In this section “the relevant amount” for the accounting period means the total of—
(a)the amount of the decrease in the tax chargeable in respect of a foreign taxable period ending in the accounting period (if the accounting period is one in relation to which condition A or B in section 71A is met), and
(b)any excess tax carried forward to the accounting period.
(4)For this purpose excess tax is carried forward to the accounting period so far as the relevant amount for the previous accounting period exceeds the amount of foreign tax paid in respect of the company's qualifying income from the PE in that previous period.
(5)In determining the relevant amount, a deduction or allowance of the kind referred to in condition A or B in section 71A is to be ignored if it results in a deduction or other allowance that is reduced under section 259JC (counteraction where mismatch arises because of a relevant multinational and the UK is the parent jurisdiction).
(6)If, for any accounting period, it becomes necessary for the relevant amount to be reduced or increased, an adjustment may be made (whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs)—
(a)by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, amendment or disallowance of a claim, or otherwise, and
(b)despite any time limit imposed by or under any enactment.
(7)In this section “the company's qualifying income from the PE” means the profits of the PE which are profits chargeable under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of CTA 2009 of a trade carried on partly, but not wholly, outside the United Kingdom.]
