Corporation Tax Act 2010

Section 144: Condition 1: claimant company owned by consortium

559.This section is the basic rule about relief surrendered by a member of a consortium to a company that is owned by the consortium. It is based on section 403C of ICTA.

560.Subsection (1) ties the section to consortium condition 1: that is, a case that does not involve a link company. Cases involving link companies are dealt with in sections 145 and 146.

561.Subsection (2) restricts the relief by reference to the consortium member’s interest in the claimant company.

562.Subsection (3) sets out what that interest is. Usually it is the proportion represented by the consortium member’s shareholding in the claimant company. But if that shareholding entitles the consortium member to a lower proportion of the surrendering company’s profits or assets the lower proportion is used.

563.Subsection (4) deals with the case where the consortium member’s interest in the claimant company varies in the overlapping period (see section 142). In that case an average is taken.

564.Subsection (5) deals with the case where a trading company (T) is indirectly owned by a consortium through a holding company (H) (see section 185). In that case the various proportions referred to in the section are calculated by reference to the consortium member’s (M1’s) interest in H.
