Corporation Tax Act 2009 Explanatory Notes

Section 513: Other arrangements

1407.This section explains the meaning of “alternative finance return” in relation to deposit arrangements, profit share agency arrangements and investment bond arrangements. It is based on sections 48B(1), 49(2) and 49A(2) of FA 2005.

1408.In FA 2005 the return on some alternative investment arrangements is called “alternative finance return”, but the return on deposit arrangements and profit share agency arrangements is called “profit share return”. However, there is no material difference in the returns on these arrangements to justify different terminology. So “profit share return” has been replaced with “alternative finance return” in relation to deposit arrangements (section 505) and profit share agency arrangements (section 506). These are then consistent with purchase and resale arrangements, diminishing shared ownership arrangements and investment bond arrangements.

1409.Chapter 5 of Part 2 of FA 2005 is being amended to remove the term “profit share return” for income tax purposes.
