301Calculation of non-trading profits and deficits from loan relationships: non-trading credits and debits

In the case of a non-UK resident company, subsections (4) to (7) need to be read with section 5(3), (3A)(b) and (3B)(b) (territorial scope of charge to corporation tax).

section 330 (debits in respect of pre-trading expenditure), and
