49A
1
This section applies if—
a
a claim is made under Chapter 9 of Part 9A (controlled foreign companies: exemptions for profits from qualifying loan relationships) in relation to an accounting period (“

”) of a CFC (“the creditor CFC”),
b
in the relevant period, the creditor CFC has a qualifying loan relationship in relation to which another CFC is the ultimate debtor by virtue of section 371IG(4) or (5), and
c
a
UK
resident company (“the relevant
UK
company”) has loan relationship credits which arise in the relevant period from—
i
loan B (see section 371IG(3)(b)), or
ii
loans out of which loan B is wholly or partly funded (directly or indirectly).
2
So far as any credit allowed under section 18(2) to the relevant
UK
company is referable to loan relationship credits falling within subsection (1)(c) which arise in an accounting period of the relevant
UK
company, the credit must not exceed—
R × S
where—
R has the same meaning as in section 42(2), and
S is—
1. the relevant
UK
company's share of the relevant profit amount (see subsection (4)), or
2. if only X% of the total amount of the loan relationship credits falling within subsection (1)(c) arises in the accounting period, X% of the relevant
UK
company's share of the relevant profit amount.
(If the amount given by the formula above is nil, no credit is allowed.)
3
The limit on credit contained in subsection (2) is in addition to the limit given by section 42(2).
4
Take the following steps to determine the relevant profit amount and the relevant
UK
company's share of that amount.
- Step 1
Determine the total amount of the loan relationship credits which arise in the relevant period from loan B to the person who made loan B.
- Step 2
Deduct from the amount determined at step 1 above the credits from the creditor CFC's qualifying loan relationship determined at step 1 in section 371IF for the relevant period. The result is the relevant profit amount.
- Step 3
On a just and reasonable basis, apportion the relevant profit amount amongst all the persons falling within subsection (5) (although the amount apportioned to a person may be nil). The relevant
UK
company's share of the relevant profit amount is the amount apportioned to it (and is nil if no amount is apportioned to it).
5
The following persons (apart from the creditor CFC) fall within this subsection—
a
the person who made loan B, and
b
any person who has made or received a loan out of which loan B is wholly or partly funded (directly or indirectly).

- Step 3 Calculate the amount given by—
(D + P A) × M
where—D is the amount of the dividend,PA is the amount given by the calculation at Step 2, andM is the rate of corporation tax applicable to profits of the recipient for the accounting period in which the dividend is received or, if there is more than one such rate, the average rate over the whole of that accounting period.

  1. set off against the recipient's own tax under that law, or
  2. paid to the recipient so far as it exceeds the recipient's own tax under that law,
calculate the amount of the increase.
- Step 5 If the amount given by the calculation at Step 2 is less than the amount given by the calculation at Step 3, UT is the amount given by the calculation at Step 2 but reduced by any amount calculated at Step 4.

5
In this section “UK tax” means income tax, corporation tax and capital gains tax.
6
In this section so far as it relates to capital gains tax “chargeable period” means tax year (see section 288(1ZA) of TCGA 1992).

Insurance companies

Companies with overseas branches: restriction of credit
96
1
Subsection (4) applies if credit for foreign tax—
a
which is payable in respect of insurance business carried on by a company through a permanent establishment in the non-UK territory, and
b
which is calculated otherwise than wholly by reference to profits arising in the non-UK territory,
is to be allowed (in accordance with this Part) against corporation tax charged under section 35 of CTA 2009 ... in respect of the profits ... of non-BLAGAB long-term business carried on by the company in an accounting period (in this section called “the relevant UK-taxable profits”).
2
For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), the cases in which foreign tax is “calculated otherwise than wholly by reference to profits arising in the non-UK territory” are those cases in which the charge to tax in the non-UK territory is within subsection (3).
3
A charge to tax is within this subsection if it is such a charge made otherwise than by reference to profits as (by disallowing their deduction in calculating the amount chargeable) to require sums payable and other liabilities arising under policies to be treated as sums or liabilities falling to be met out of amounts subject to tax in the hands of the company.
4
If this subsection applies, the amount of the credit is not to exceed the greater of—
a
any such part of the foreign tax as is charged by reference to profits arising in the non-UK territory, and
b
the shareholders' share of the foreign tax.
5
For the purposes of subsection (4), the shareholders' share of the foreign tax is so much of that tax as is represented by the fraction—
A/B
where—
A is an amount equal to the amount of the relevant UK-taxable profits before making any deduction authorised by subsection (7), and
B is an amount equal to the excess of—
1. the amount taken into account as receipts of the company in calculating those profits, apart from premiums and sums received by virtue of a claim under a reinsurance contract, over
2. the amount taken into account as expenses in calculating those profits.
6
If there is no such excess, or if the profits are greater than any excess, the whole of the foreign tax is the shareholders' share; and, subject to that, if there are no profits, none of the foreign tax is the shareholders' share.
7
If, by virtue of this section, the credit for any foreign tax is less than it otherwise would be, section 31(2)(a) does not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in calculating the relevant UK-taxable profits.

Companies with more than one category of business: restriction of credit
97
1
This section applies if—
a
an insurance company carries on more than one category of long-term business in an accounting period, and
b
there arises to the company in that period any income or gain (“the relevant income”) in respect of which credit for foreign tax is to be allowed under the arrangements.
2
The amount of the credit for foreign tax which, under the arrangements, is allowable against corporation tax in respect of so much of the relevant income as is referable, in accordance with Part 2 of FA 2012, to a particular category of business must not exceed the fraction of the foreign tax which, in accordance with subsection (3), is attributable to that category of business.
3
The fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to the category of business in question is the fraction given by—
RPRI/TRI
where—
RPRI is the amount of the relevant income referable to the category of business in question in accordance with section 97A, and
TRI is the total amount of the relevant income.

Commercial allocation of relevant income to different categories of long-term business
97A
1
The amount of the relevant income that, for the purposes of section 97, is to be regarded as referable to a category of business is to be determined in accordance with an acceptable commercial method adopted by the company for the period of account in which the relevant income arises.
2
A method is an “acceptable commercial method” if, in all the circumstances, it can reasonably be regarded as providing a fair method for the purposes of section 97 for determining for a period of account the amount of any income or gain arising in the period that is referable to a particular category of long-term business carried on by the company.
3
The Treasury may make regulations for the purposes of this section—
a
prescribing cases in which a method is, or is not, to be regarded as an acceptable commercial method, and
b
prescribing cases in which the only acceptable commercial method is to be a method prescribed, or of a description prescribed, in the regulations.
4
Subject to any provision made by regulations under subsection (3), the method adopted for the purposes of this section for a period of account must be consistent with the method adopted for the purposes of section 98 or 115 of FA 2012 for that period.

Attribution for section 97 purposes if category is gross roll-up business
98. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Allocation of expenses etc in calculations under section 35 of CTA 2009
99
1
Subsection (2) has effect if—
a
an insurance company carries on any category of insurance business in a period of account,
b
a calculation in accordance with the provisions applicable for the purposes of section 35 of CTA 2009 (charge on trade profits) falls to be made in relation to that category of business for that period, and
c
there arises to the company in that period any income or gain in respect of which credit for foreign tax is to be allowed under the arrangements.
2
The amount of the credit for foreign tax which, under the arrangements, is to be allowed against corporation tax in respect of so much of that income or gain as is referable to the category of business concerned (“the relevant income”) is to be limited by treating the amount of the relevant income as reduced in accordance with sections 100 and 101.
3
In determining the amount of credit for foreign tax which is to be allowed as mentioned in subsection (2), the relevant income is not to be reduced except in accordance with that subsection.
4
If a 75% subsidiary of an insurance company is acting in accordance with a scheme or arrangement and—
a
the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the scheme or arrangement is to prevent or restrict the application of subsection (2) to the insurance company, and
b
the subsidiary does not carry on insurance business of any description,
the amount of corporation tax attributable (apart from this subsection) to any item of income or gain arising to the subsidiary is to be found by setting off against that item the amount of expenses that would be attributable to it under section 100(1) if that item had arisen directly to the insurance company.
5
If the credit allowed for any foreign tax is, by virtue of subsection (2), less than it would be if the relevant income were not treated as reduced in accordance with that subsection, section 31(2)(a) does not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in calculating the profits of the category of business concerned.
6
If, by virtue of subsection (4), the credit allowed for any foreign tax is less than it would be apart from that subsection, section 31(2)(a) does not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in calculating the income of the 75% subsidiary.
7
For the purposes of the operation of this section in relation to any income or gain in respect of which credit is to be allowed under the arrangements, the amount of the income or gain that is referable to a category of insurance business is the same fraction of the income or gain as the fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to that category of business in accordance with sections 97 and 97A.

First limitation for purposes of section 99(2)
100
1
The first limitation for the purposes of section 99(2) is to treat the amount of the relevant income as reduced (but not below nil) for the purposes of this Chapter by the amount of expenses (if any) attributable to the relevant income.
2
For the purposes of subsection (1), the amount of expenses attributable to the relevant income is the appropriate fraction of the total relevant expenses of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question.
3
In subsection (2) “the appropriate fraction” means the fraction given by—
(R I)/(T I)
where—RI is the amount of the relevant income before any reduction in accordance with section 99(2), andTI is the total income of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question, but if that would result in TI being nil, TI is instead the amount described in subsection (4).
4
That amount is so much in total of the income and gains—
a
which arise to the company in the period of account in question, and
b
in respect of which credit for foreign tax is to be allowed under any double taxation arrangements or under unilateral relief arrangements for any territory outside the United Kingdom,
as are referable to the category of business concerned (before any reduction in accordance with section 99(2)).
5
Subsection (4) is to be read with section 104 (determining how much of any income or gain is referable to a category of business).
6
In this section “the relevant income” has the meaning given by section 99(2).

Second limitation for purposes of section 99(2)
101
1
If—
a
the amount of the relevant income after any reduction under section 100(1),
exceeds—
b
the relevant fraction of the profits of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question which are chargeable to corporation tax,
the second limitation is to treat the relevant income as further reduced (but not below nil) for the purposes of this Chapter to an amount equal to that fraction of those profits.
2
In subsection (1) “the relevant fraction” means the fraction given by—
(R I)/(The referable share of total relievable income and gains)
where—
“RI” is the amount of the relevant income before any reduction in accordance with section 99(2), and
“the referable share of total relievable income and gains” is so much in total of the income and gains—
1. which arise to the company in the period of account in question, and
2. in respect of which credit for foreign tax is to be allowed under any double taxation arrangements or under unilateral relief arrangements for any territory outside the United Kingdom,
as are referable to the category of business concerned (before any reduction in accordance with section 99(2)).
3
In subsection (1), any reference to the profits of a category of business is a reference to those profits after the set off of any losses of that category of business which have arisen in any previous accounting period.
4
Subsection (2) is to be read with section 104 (determining how much of any income or gain is referable to a category of business).
5
In this section “the relevant income” has the meaning given by section 99(2).

The amounts mentioned in subsection (2)(b) are—
a
acquisition costs,

a
the claims incurred, net of reinsurance,

a
by any amount which has been paid in respect of non-UK tax on that income in the place where the income arose, or
b
if subsection (2) applies, by the lesser amount mentioned in that subsection.

a
chargeable under the law of any territory outside the United Kingdom on the disposal of an asset, and
b
borne by the person making the disposal.

3
Subsection (2) is subject to—

115
1
This section applies if—
a
the amount of any of a person's income is reduced under section 112(1),

that reduction (“the original reduction”) later becomes excessive as a result of an adjustment of the amount of any tax payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom or an increase under section 112(3), and
c
the adjustment or increase is not a Lloyd's adjustment.
2
This section also applies if—
a
a deduction is allowed under section 113(2) in the case of a person making a disposal, and
b
that deduction (“the original reduction”) later becomes excessive as a result of an adjustment of the amount of any tax payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
3
The person must give notice that the original reduction has become excessive as a result of the making of an adjustment or increase.
4
Notice under subsection (3) is to be given—
a
to an officer of Revenue and Customs, and
b
within one year from when the adjustment or increase was made.
5
If the person fails to comply with the requirements imposed by subsections (3) and (4), the person is liable to a penalty not greater than the amount given by—
A — B

Interpretation of double taxation arrangements

Interpreting provision about UK taxation of profits of foreign enterprises
130
1
Subsection (4) applies if double taxation arrangements make the provision, however expressed, mentioned in subsection (2).
2
The provision is that the profits of an enterprise within subsection (3) are not to be subject to United Kingdom tax except so far as they are attributable to a permanent establishment of the enterprise in the United Kingdom.
3
An enterprise is within this subsection if the enterprise—
a
is resident outside the United Kingdom, or
b
carries on a trade, or profession or business, the control or management of which is situated outside the United Kingdom.
4
The provision does not prevent income of a person resident in the United Kingdom being chargeable to income tax or corporation tax.
5
Subsection (4)—
a
does not apply in relation to income of a person resident in the United Kingdom if section 858 of ITTOIA 2005 (UK resident partner is taxable on share of firm's income despite any double taxation arrangements) applies to the income, and
b
does not apply in relation to income of a company resident in the United Kingdom if section 1266(2) of CTA 2009 (UK resident company that is partner in a firm is taxable on share of firm's income despite any double taxation arrangements) applies to the income.
6
A person is resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of this section if the person is resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of the double taxation arrangements.

Interpreting provision about UK taxation of pensions etc
130A
1
Subsection (3) applies if double taxation arrangements make the provision, however expressed, mentioned in subsection (2).
2
The provision is that pensions and other similar remuneration which—
a
arise outside the United Kingdom, and
b
are paid to persons who are resident in the United Kingdom,
are not to be subject to United Kingdom tax.
3
That provision does not prevent a pension or other similar remuneration of a person resident in the United Kingdom being chargeable to income tax if—
a
the pension or other similar remuneration is paid out of sums or assets that were the subject of a relevant transfer or related sums or assets, and
b
the relevant transfer or any transaction forming part of that transfer was, or formed part of, a tax avoidance scheme.
4
But nothing in subsection (3) prevents credit being allowed under Chapter 2 of this Part (double taxation relief by way of credit) against any tax so charged.
5
In determining whether a pension or other similar remuneration is paid out of sums or assets within subsection (3)(a), it is to be assumed that it is paid out of such sums or assets in priority to any other sums or assets.
6
A “relevant transfer”, in respect of any sums or assets, is a transaction or series of transactions as a result of which—
a
the sums or assets are transferred out of a pension scheme, and
b
the sums or assets or related sums or assets (or both) are transferred into the pension scheme under which the pension or other similar remuneration is paid.
7
A scheme is a “tax avoidance scheme” if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of any party to the scheme in entering into the scheme is to secure an income tax advantage for any person under this Part by virtue of provision mentioned in subsection (2) made by double taxation arrangements.
8
For the purposes of subsection (7)—
a
“
scheme
” includes any scheme, arrangements or understanding of any kind whatever, whether or not legally enforceable, involving a single transaction or two or more transactions,
b
it does not matter whether or not the double taxation arrangements were in existence at the time the tax avoidance scheme was entered into or given effect to, and
c
“
income tax advantage
” is to be construed in accordance with section 572A(3) to (5) of ITA 2007.
9
In this section—
- “
pension
” and “
other similar remuneration
” have the same meaning as in the Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital published (from time to time) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development;
- “
pension scheme
” has the same meaning as in Part 4 of FA 2004 (see section 150 of that Act);
- “
related sums or assets
”, in relation to other sums or assets (“the original sums or assets”), means sums or assets which arise, or (directly or indirectly) derive, from the original sums or assets or from sums or assets which so arise or derive.

Interpreting provision about interest influenced by special relationship
131
1
Subsections (3) and (6) apply if double taxation arrangements—
a
make provision, whether for relief or otherwise, in relation to interest (as defined in the arrangements), and
b
contain a special relationship rule.
2
A “special relationship rule” is provision that—
a
applies if the amount of the interest paid is, because of a special relationship, greater than the amount (“the ordinary amount”) that would have been paid in the absence of the relationship, and
b
has the effect that the provision mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is to apply only to the ordinary amount.
3
The special relationship rule is to be read as requiring account to be taken of all factors, including—
a
the question whether the loan would have been made at all in the absence of the special relationship,
b
the amount which the loan would have been in the absence of the special relationship, and
c
the rate of interest, and the other terms, which would have been agreed in the absence of the special relationship.
4
Subsection (3) does not apply if the special relationship rule expressly requires regard to be had to the debt on which interest is paid in determining the excess interest (and accordingly expressly limits the factors to be taken into account).
5
If—
a
a company (“L”) makes a loan to another company with which it has a special relationship, and
b
it is not part of L's business to make loans generally,
the fact that it is not part of L's business to make loans generally is to be disregarded in applying subsection (3).
6
The special relationship rule is to be read as requiring the taxpayer—
a
to show that there is no special relationship, or
b
if there is a special relationship, to show the amount of interest that would have been paid in the absence of the relationship.

Interpreting provision about royalties influenced by special relationship
132
1
Subsection (3) and section 133 apply if double taxation arrangements—
a
make provision, whether for relief or otherwise, in relation to royalties (as defined in the arrangements), and
b
contain a special relationship rule.
2
A “special relationship rule” is provision that—
a
applies if the amount of the royalties paid is, because of a special relationship, greater than the amount (“the ordinary amount”) that would have been paid in the absence of the relationship, and
b
has the effect that the provision mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is to apply only to the ordinary amount.
3
The special relationship rule is to be read as requiring account to be taken of all factors, including—
a
the question whether the agreement under which the royalties are paid would have been made at all in the absence of the special relationship,
b
the rate or amounts of royalties, and the other terms, which would have been agreed in the absence of the special relationship, and
c
if subsection (4) applies, the factors specified in subsection (5).
4
This subsection applies if the asset in respect of which the royalties are paid, or any asset which that asset represents or from which it is derived, has previously been in the beneficial ownership of—
a
the person (“PR”) who is liable to pay the royalties,
b
a person who is, or has at any time been, an associate of PR,
c
a person who has at any time carried on a business which, at the time when the liability to pay the royalties arises, is being carried on in whole or in part by PR, or
d
a person who is, or has at any time been, an associate of a person within paragraph (c).
5
The factors mentioned in subsection (3)(c) are—
a
the amounts which were paid under the transaction, or under each of the transactions in a series of transactions, as a result of which the asset has come to be an asset of the beneficial owner for the time being,
b
the amounts which would have been paid under that transaction, or under each of those transactions, in the absence of a special relationship, and
c
the question whether the transaction, or series of transactions, would have taken place in the absence of a special relationship.
6
Subsection (3) does not apply if the special relationship rule expressly requires regard to be had to the use, right or information for which royalties are paid in determining the excess royalties (and accordingly expressly limits the factors to be taken into account).
7
For the purposes of this section, a person (“A”) is an associate of another person (“B”) at a given time if—
a
A was directly or indirectly participating in the management, control or capital of B at that time, or
b
the same person was, or the same persons were, directly or indirectly participating in the management, control or capital of A and B at that time.
8
For the interpretation of subsection (7), see sections 157(1), 158(4), 159(1) and 160(1) (which have the effect that references in subsection (7) to direct or indirect participation are to be read in accordance with provisions of Chapter 2 of Part 4).

Special relationship rule for royalties: matters to be shown by taxpayer
133
1
If this section applies (as to which, see section 132(1)), the special relationship rule is to be read as requiring the taxpayer to show—

as the case may be, the rate or amounts of royalties that would have been payable in the absence of the special relationship.
2
The requirement under subsection (1)(a) includes whichever is applicable of the following requirements.

The first of those requirements is—
a
to show that no person of any of the descriptions in section 132(4)(a) to (d) has previously been the beneficial owner of the asset in respect of which the royalties are paid, and
b
to show that no person of any of those descriptions has previously been the beneficial owner of any asset which that asset represents or from which it is derived.
4
The second of those requirements is—
a
to show that the transaction, or series of transactions, mentioned in section 132(5)(a) would have taken place in the absence of a special relationship, and
b
to show the amounts which would have been paid under the transaction, or under each of the transactions in the series of transactions, in the absence of a special relationship.

b
the actual provision confers a potential advantage in relation to United Kingdom taxation (whether or not the same advantage) on each of the affected persons.

1
In this Part—

a
income tax,
b
the charge to corporation tax on income,
c
diverted profits tax,
d
the CFC charge,
e
foreign tax, or
f
a foreign CFC charge.
2
In subsection (1) “
foreign tax
” means a tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom so far as it—
a
is charged on income and corresponds to United Kingdom income tax, or
b
is charged on income and corresponds to the United Kingdom charge to corporation tax on income.
3
A tax
is outside the scope of subsection (2) if
it—
a
is chargeable under the law of a province, state or other part of a country, or
b
is levied by or on behalf of a municipality or other local body.
3ZA
A tax is not within paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) so far as it is charged on income that—
a
has arisen to an entity that—
i
is not subject to the tax (as regards that income), and
ii
is, under the law of the territory referred to in that subsection, regarded as being a person for the purposes of the tax, but
b
is to be brought into account for the purposes of that tax by a different entity.
3A
The payment of any withholding tax in respect of any amount is to be ignored for the purposes of this Part.
4
In this Part—
- “
CFC
” and “
the CFC charge
” have the same meaning as in Part 9A (see section 371VA);
- “
foreign CFC charge
” means a charge (by whatever name known) under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom which is similar to the CFC charge (and reference to a “foreign CFC” is to be read accordingly).
5
In any case where—
a
a person is resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom generally for the purposes of the law of the territory or for particular purposes under that law, and
b
the law of the territory has no provision for a person to be resident for tax purposes under its law,
any reference in Chapter 8 or 11 to a person's residence for tax purposes in the territory is to be read as a reference to the person's residence as mentioned in paragraph (a).

Equivalent provision to this Part under foreign law

References to equivalent provision to this Part under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom
259BA
1
A reference in this Part to provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to—
a
this Part, or
b
a provision of this Part,
is to be read in accordance with subsection (2).
2
The reference is to provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that it is reasonable to suppose—
a
is based on the Final Report on Neutralising the Effects of Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“
OECD
”) on 5 October 2015 or any replacement or supplementary publication, and
b
has effect for the same, or similar, purposes to this Part or (as the case may be) the provision of this Part.
3
In paragraph (a) of subsection (2) “
replacement or supplementary publication
” means any document that is approved and published by the
OECD
in place of, or to update or supplement, the report mentioned in that paragraph (or any replacement of, or supplement to, it).
Payments and quasi-payments
etc

Meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “payer”, “payee” etc
259BB
1
In this Part “
payment
” means any transfer—
a
of money or money's worth directly or indirectly from one person (“the payer”) to one or more other persons, and
b
in relation to which (disregarding this Part and any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom) an amount (a “relevant deduction”) may be deducted from the payer's income for a taxable period (the “payment period”) for the purposes of calculating the payer's taxable profits.
2
For the purposes of this Part, there is a “
quasi-payment
”, in relation to a taxable period (the “payment period”) of a person (“the payer”), if (disregarding this Part and any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom)—
a
an amount (a “relevant deduction”) may be deducted from the payer's income for that period for the purposes of calculating the payer's taxable profits, and
b
making the assumptions in subsection (4), it would be reasonable to expect an amount of ordinary income to arise to one or more other persons as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction.
3
But a quasi-payment does not arise under subsection (2) if—
a
the relevant deduction is an amount that is deemed, under the law of the payer jurisdiction, to arise for tax purposes, and
b
the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction do not include any economic rights, in substance, existing between the payer and a person mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
4
The assumptions are that (so far as would not otherwise be the case)—
a
any question as to whether an entity is a distinct and separate person from the payer is determined in accordance with the law of the payer jurisdiction,
b
any persons to whom amounts arise, or potentially arise, as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction adopt the same approach to accounting for those circumstances as the payer, and
c
any persons to whom amounts arise, or potentially arise, as a result of those circumstances—
i
are, under the law of the payer jurisdiction, resident in that jurisdiction for tax purposes, and
ii
carry on a business, in connection with which those circumstances arise, in the payer jurisdiction.
5
In this Part—
a
references to a quasi-payment include all the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction mentioned in subsection (2)(a), and
b
references to a quasi-payment being made are to those circumstances arising.
6
In this Part “
payee
” means—
a
in the case of a payment, any person—
i
to whom the transfer is made as mentioned in subsection (1)(a), or
ii
to whom an amount of ordinary income arises as a result of the payment, and
b
in the case of a quasi-payment, any person—
i
to whom it would be reasonable to expect an amount of ordinary income to arise as mentioned in subsection (2)(b), or
ii
to whom an amount of ordinary income arises as a result of the quasi-payment.
7
For the purposes of this Part, in the case of a quasi-payment, the payer is “also a payee” if—
a
an entity is not a distinct and separate person from the payer for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the United Kingdom,
b
that entity is a distinct and separate person from the payer for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the payer jurisdiction, and
c
it would be reasonable to expect an amount of ordinary income to arise to that entity as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
8
In this section “
payer jurisdiction
” means the jurisdiction under the law of which the relevant deduction may (disregarding this Part and any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom) be deducted.
9
In this Part “
payee jurisdiction
”, in relation to a payee, means a territory in which—
a
the payee is resident for tax purposes under the law of that territory, or
b
the payee has a permanent establishment.

Ordinary income

The basic rules
259BC
1
This section has effect for the purposes of this Part.
2
“
Ordinary income
” means income that is brought into account, before any deductions, for the purposes of calculating the income or profits on which a relevant tax is charged (“taxable profits”).
3
But an amount of income is not brought into account for those purposes to the extent that —
a
it is charged to the relevant tax at a nil rate, or
b
it is excluded, reduced or offset by any exemption, exclusion, relief, or credit—
i
that applies specifically to all or part of the amount of income (as opposed to ordinary income generally), or
ii
that arises as a result of, or otherwise in connection with, a payment or quasi-payment that gives rise to the amount of income.
4
If all the relevant tax charged on taxable profits is, or falls to be, refunded, none of the income brought into account in calculating those taxable profits is “ordinary income”.
5
If a proportion of the relevant tax charged on taxable profits is, or falls to be, refunded, the amount of any income brought into account in calculating those taxable profits that is “ordinary income” is proportionally reduced.
6
For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) an amount of relevant tax is refunded if and to the extent that—
a
any repayment of relevant tax, or any payment in respect of a credit for relevant tax, is made to any person, and
b
that repayment or payment is directly or indirectly in respect of the whole or part of the amount of relevant tax,
but an amount refunded is to be ignored if and to the extent that it results from qualifying loss relief.
7
In subsection (6) “
qualifying loss relief
” means—
a
any means by which a loss might be used for corporation tax or income tax purposes to reduce the amount in respect of which a person is liable to tax, or
b
any corresponding means by which a loss corresponding to a relevant tax loss might be used for the purposes of a relevant tax other than corporation tax or income tax to reduce the amount in respect of which a person is liable to tax,
(and in paragraph (b) “
relevant tax loss
” means a loss that might be used as mentioned in paragraph (a)).
8
References to an amount of ordinary income being “included in” taxable profits are to that amount being brought into account for the purposes of calculating those profits.
8A
Income is to be treated as “ordinary income” if it would fall to be brought into account for the purpose of calculating taxable profits of a person but for the fact that the person is a qualifying institutional investor (and, if the person is based in a territory under the law of which there is no relevant tax on income of the kind in question, if the territory had such a tax).
For the meaning of “qualifying institutional investor” see section 259NDA.
9
In this section “
relevant tax
” means a tax other than the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge.
10
Section 259BD contains provision for ordinary income to arise to chargeable companies by virtue of the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge.

Chargeable companies in respect of CFCs and foreign CFCs
259BD
1
This section has effect for the purposes of this Part.
2
Subsections (3) to (7) apply where an amount of income arises to an entity (“C”) that is a CFC, a foreign CFC or both and all or part of that amount (the “relevant income”)—
a
is not ordinary income of C under section 259BC, or
b
arises as a result of a payment or quasi-payment under, or in connection with, a financial instrument or hybrid transfer arrangement and—
i
is (disregarding subsection (4)) ordinary income of C under section 259BC for a taxable period, but
ii
under taxed.
3
The following steps determine whether, and to what extent, the relevant income is “ordinary income” of a chargeable company in relation to the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge.
- Step 1
Determine—
  1. whether any of the relevant income is brought into account in calculating C's chargeable profits for the purposes of the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge, and
  2. if so, the amount of the relevant income that is so brought into account for the purposes of each relevant charge.
If none of the relevant income is so brought into account, then none of it is “ordinary income” of a chargeable company and no further steps are to be taken.
See subsections (10) to (12) for further provision about how this step is to be taken.
For the purposes of this section—
  - “relevant chargeable profits” are chargeable profits in relation to the calculation of which, for the purposes of the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge, any of the relevant income is brought into account;
  - “
relevant charge
” means a charge in relation to which any of the relevant income is brought into account in calculating chargeable profits.
- Step 2
In relation to each relevant charge, determine the proportion of C's relevant chargeable profits, for the purposes of that charge, that is apportioned to each chargeable company.
For the purposes of this section, each chargeable company to which 25% or more of C's relevant chargeable profits for the purposes of a relevant charge are apportioned is a “relevant chargeable company”.
If there are no relevant chargeable companies in relation to any relevant charges, then none of the relevant income is “ordinary income” of a chargeable company and no further steps are to be taken.
- Step 3
In relation to each relevant chargeable company, determine what is the appropriate proportion of the relevant income brought into account in calculating relevant chargeable profits, for the purposes of the relevant charge concerned.
That proportion of that income is “ordinary income” of that company for the taxable period for which that charge is charged on it by reference to those profits.
For the purposes of this step, the “
appropriate proportion
”, in relation to a relevant chargeable company, is the same as the proportion of the relevant chargeable profits that is apportioned to it for the purposes of the relevant charge.
4
An amount of relevant income that is ordinary income of a relevant chargeable company in accordance with subsection (3) is not ordinary income of C (so far as it otherwise would be).
5
Relevant chargeable profits apportioned to a relevant chargeable company for the purposes of a relevant charge are “taxable profits” of that company for the taxable period for which the charge is charged on it by reference to those profits.
6
The amount of the relevant income that is ordinary income of that relevant chargeable company under subsection (3), by virtue of being brought into account in calculating those relevant chargeable profits, is “included in” those taxable profits.
7
References to tax charged on taxable profits include a relevant charge charged by reference to relevant chargeable profits that are taxable profits under subsection (5).
8
For the purposes of subsection (2)(b), an amount of ordinary income is “under taxed” if the highest rate at which tax is charged, for C's taxable period, on the taxable profits in which the amount is included, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis any credit for underlying tax, is less than C's full marginal rate for that period.
9
In subsection (8)—
a
C's “
full marginal rate
” means the highest rate at which the tax that is chargeable on those taxable profits could be charged on taxable profits, of C for the taxable period, which include ordinary income that arises from, or in connection with, a financial instrument, and
b
“
credit for underlying tax
” means a credit or relief given to reflect tax charged on profits that are wholly or partly used to fund (directly or indirectly) the payment or quasi-payment mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
10
For the purposes of step 1 in subsection (3), section 259BC(3) applies for the purposes of determining the extent to which an amount of relevant income is brought into account in calculating chargeable profits as it applies for the purposes of determining the extent to which an amount of income is brought into account for the purposes of calculating taxable profits.
11
Subsection (12) applies for the purposes of step 1 in subsection (3), if—
a
the amount of income arising to C mentioned in subsection (2)—
i
is not all relevant income, and
ii
is only partly brought into account in calculating chargeable profits for the purposes of the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge, and
b
accordingly, it falls to be determined whether, and to what extent, the relevant income is brought into account in calculating those profits for the purposes of the charge concerned.
12
The relevant income is to be taken to be brought into account (if at all) only to the extent that the total amount of income mentioned in subsection (2) that is brought into account exceeds the amount of income mentioned in that subsection that is not relevant income.
12A
For the purposes of subsection (2)—
a
a qualifying CFC amount arising to C is treated as an amount of relevant income,
b
a qualifying CFC amount arising to C, for a permitted taxable period, is “under taxed” if the highest rate at which tax is charged on the amount, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax, is less than C’s full marginal rate for that period,
c
in determining C’s “full marginal rate”, the reference to the taxable profits mentioned in subsection (9) includes any qualifying CFC amount, and
d
in determining a “credit for underlying tax”, the reference to profits includes any qualifying
CFC
amount.
12B
For the purposes of subsection (12A) a “qualifying CFC amount” means an amount arising to C which is brought into account in calculating chargeable profits for the purposes of a foreign CFC charge.
12C
But an amount is not regarded for this purpose as brought into account so far as—
a
the amount is excluded, reduced or offset for the purposes of the foreign CFC charge by any exemption, exclusion, relief or credit that—
i
applies specifically to all or part of the amount (as opposed to amounts brought into account for those purposes generally), or
ii
arises as a result of, or otherwise in connection with, a payment or quasi-payment that gives rise to the amount, or
b
the sum charged for the purposes of the foreign CFC charge is, or falls to be, refunded (and section 259BC(6) and (7) apply for the purposes of this paragraph with the necessary modifications).
13
In this section—
- “chargeable company”—
  1. in relation to the CFC charge, has the same meaning as in Part 9A (see section 371VA), and
  2. in relation to a foreign CFC charge, means an entity (by whatever name known) corresponding to a chargeable company within the meaning of that Part;
- “chargeable profits”—
  1. in relation to the CFC charge, has the same meaning as in that Part (see that section), and
  2. in relation to a foreign CFC charge, means the concept (by whatever name known) corresponding to chargeable profits within the meaning of that Part
(including any qualifying CFC amount within the meaning given by subsection (12B))
;
- “
hybrid transfer arrangement
” has the meaning given by section 259DB.
Hybrid entity
etc

Meaning of “hybrid entity”, “investor” and “investor jurisdiction”
259BE
1
For the purposes of this Part, an entity is “hybrid” if it meets conditions A and B.
2
Condition A is that the entity is regarded as being a person for tax purposes under the law of any territory.
3
Condition B is that—
a
some or all of the entity's income or profits are treated (or would be if there were any) for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of any territory, as the income or profits of a person or persons other than the person mentioned in subsection (2), or
b
under the law of a territory other than the one mentioned in subsection (2), the entity is not regarded as a distinct and separate person to an entity or entities that are distinct and separate persons under the law of the territory mentioned in that subsection.
4
For the purposes of this Part—
a
where subsection (3)(a) applies, a person who is treated as having the income or profits of the hybrid entity is an “investor” in it,
b
where subsection (3)(b) applies, an entity that—
i
is regarded as a distinct and separate person to the hybrid entity under the law of the territory mentioned in subsection (2), but
ii
is not regarded as a distinct and separate person to the hybrid entity under the law of another territory,
is an “investor” in the hybrid entity, and
c
any territory under the law of which an investor is within the charge to a tax is an “
investor jurisdiction
” in relation to that investor.

Permanent establishments

Meaning of “permanent establishment”
259BF
1
In this Part “
permanent establishment
” means anything that is—
a
a permanent establishment of a company within the meaning of the Corporation Tax Acts (see section 1119 of CTA 2010), or
b
within any similar concept under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
2
A concept is not outside the scope of subsection (1)(b) by reason only that it is not based on Article 5 of a Model Tax Convention on Income and Capital published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
CHAPTER 3

Hybrid and other mismatches from financial instruments

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259C
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise from payments or quasi-payments under, or in connection with, financial instruments.
2
The Chapter counteracts mismatches where the payer or a payee is within the charge to corporation tax and does so by altering the corporation tax treatment of the payer or a payee.
3
Section 259CA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Section 259CB defines “hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch” and provides how the amount of the mismatch is to be calculated.
5
Section 259CC contains definitions of certain terms used in section 259CB.
6
Section 259CD contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
7
Section 259CE contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax and neither section 259CD nor any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom fully counteracts the mismatch.
8
See also—
a
section 259BB for the meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “payment period”, “relevant deduction”, “payer” and “payee”, and
b
section 259N for the meaning of “financial instrument”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259CA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to D are met.
2
Condition A is that a payment or quasi-payment is made under, or in connection with, a financial instrument.
3
Condition B is that—
a
the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period, or
b
a payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period.
4
Condition C is that it is reasonable to suppose that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (5), there would be a hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch in relation to the payment or quasi-payment (see section 259CB).
5
The provisions are—
a
this Chapter and Chapters 5 to 10, and
b
any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
6
Condition D is that—
a
it is a quasi-payment that is made as mentioned in subsection (2) and the payer is also a payee (see section 259BB(7)),
b
the payer and a payee are related (see section 259NC) at any time in the period—
i
beginning with the day on which any arrangement is made by the payer or a payee in connection with the financial instrument, and
ii
ending with the last day of the payment period, or
c
the financial instrument, or any arrangement connected with it, is a structured arrangement.
7
The financial instrument, or an arrangement connected with it, is a “structured arrangement” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the financial instrument, or arrangement, is designed to secure a hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch, or
b
the terms of the financial instrument or arrangement share the economic benefit of the mismatch between the parties to the instrument or arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the mismatch is expected to arise.
8
The financial instrument or arrangement may be designed to secure a hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
9
Sections 259CD (cases where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period) and 259CE (cases where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax) contain provision for the counteraction of the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch.

Hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent
259CB
1
There is a “
hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch
”, in relation to a payment or quasi-payment, if either or both of case 1 or 2 applies.
2
Case 1 applies where—
a
the relevant deduction exceeds the sum of the amounts of ordinary income that, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, arise to each payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
all or part of that excess arises by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument.
3
So far as the excess arises—
a
by reason of a relevant debt relief provision, or
b
in relevant debt relief circumstances,
it is to be taken not to arise by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument (whether or not it would have arisen by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument regardless).
3A
So far as the excess arises by reason of an interest distribution designation, it is to be taken not to arise by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument (whether or not it would have arisen by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument regardless of that designation).
4
Subject to
subsections (3), (3A) and
(9), for the purposes of subsection (2)(b)—
a
it does not matter whether the excess or part arises for another reason as well as the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument (even if it would have arisen for that other reason regardless of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument), and
b
an excess or part of an excess is to be taken to arise by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument (so far as would not otherwise be the case) if, on making such of the relevant assumptions in relation to each payee as apply in relation to that payee (see subsections (5) and (6)), it could arise by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument.
5
These are the “relevant assumptions”—
a
where a payee is not within the charge to a tax under the law of a payee jurisdiction because the payee benefits from an exclusion, immunity, exemption or relief (however described) under that law, assume that the exclusion, immunity, exemption or relief does not apply;
b
where an amount of income is not included in the ordinary income of a payee for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a payee jurisdiction because the payment or quasi-payment is not made in connection with a business carried on by the payee in that jurisdiction, assume that the payment or quasi-payment is made in connection with such a business;
c
where a payee is not within the charge to a tax under the law of any territory because there is no territory where the payee is—
i
resident for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of that territory, or
ii
within the charge to a tax under the law of that territory as a result of having a permanent establishment in that territory,
assume that the payee is a company that is resident for tax purposes, and carries on a business in connection with which the payment or quasi-payment is made, in the United Kingdom.
6
Where the relevant assumption in subsection (5)(c) applies in relation to a payee the following provisions are to be disregarded in relation to that payee for the purposes of subsection (4)(b)—
a
section 441 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships for unallowable purposes);
b
section 690 of that Act (derivative contracts for unallowable purposes);
c
Part 4 (transfer pricing);
d
this Part;
e
Part 10 (corporate interest restriction).
7
Case 2 applies where there are one or more amounts of ordinary income (“under-taxed amounts”) that—
a
arise, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, to a payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
are under taxed by reason of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument.
8
Subject to subsection (9), for the purposes of subsection (7)(b) it does not matter whether an amount of ordinary income is under taxed for another reason as well as the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument (even if it would have been under taxed for that other reason regardless of the terms, or any other feature, of the financial instrument).
9
For the purposes of this section disregard—
a
any excess or part of an excess mentioned in subsection (2), and
b
any under-taxed amount,
that arises as a result of a payee being a relevant investment fund (see section 259NA).
10
Where case 1 applies, the amount of the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the excess that arises as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
11
Where case 2 applies, the amount of the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the sum of the amounts given in respect of each under-taxed amount by—
((UTA × (FMR − R)))/FMR
where—
“UTA” is the under-taxed amount;
“FMR” is the payee's full marginal rate (expressed as a percentage) for the permitted taxable period for which the under-taxed amount arises;
“R” is the highest rate (expressed as a percentage) at which tax is charged on the taxable profits in which the under-taxed amount is included, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax.
12
Where cases 1 and 2 both apply, the amount of the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is the sum of the amounts given by subsections (10) and (11).
13
See section 259CC for the meaning of “permitted taxable period”, “relevant debt relief provision” and “under taxed”.

Interpretation of section 259CB
259CC
1
This section has effect for the purposes of section 259CB.
2
A taxable period of a payee is “
permitted
” in relation to an amount of ordinary income that arises as a result of the payment or quasi-payment if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the payment period, or
b
the period begins at a later time and it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for the period (rather than an earlier one).
3
Each of these is a “relevant debt relief provision”—
a
section 322 of CTA 2009 (release of debts: cases where credits not required to be brought into account),
b
section 357 of that Act (insolvent creditors),
c
section 358 of that Act (exclusion of credits on release of connected companies' debts: general),
d
section 359 of that Act (exclusion of credits on release of connected companies' debts during creditor's insolvency),
e
section 361C of that Act (the equity-for-debt exception),
f
section 361D of that Act (corporate rescue: debt released shortly after acquisition), and
g
section 362A of that Act (corporate rescue: debt released shortly after connection arises).
3A
To determine whether excess arises in “relevant debt relief circumstances” see sections 259NEB to 259NEF.
3B
An “interest distribution designation” means a designation made under regulation 5(2) of the Investment Trusts (Dividends) (Optional Treatment as Interest Distributions) Regulations 2009 (
S.I. 2009/2034
).
4
An amount of ordinary income of a payee, for a permitted taxable period, is “under taxed” if the highest rate at which tax is charged on the taxable profits of the payee in which the amount is included, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax, is less than the payee's full marginal rate for that period.
5
The payee's “
full marginal rate
” means the highest rate at which the tax that is chargeable on the taxable profits mentioned in subsection (4) could be charged on taxable profits, of the payee for the permitted taxable period, which include ordinary income that arises from, or in connection with, a financial instrument.
6
A “
credit for underlying tax
” means a credit or relief given to reflect tax charged on profits that are wholly or partly used to fund (directly or indirectly) the payment or quasi-payment.
7
A qualifying capital amount arising to a payee is treated as an amount of ordinary income of a payee and references to tax include any qualifying capital tax.
8
For the purposes of case 2—
a
a qualifying capital amount arising to a payee, for a permitted taxable period, is “under taxed” if the highest rate at which tax is charged on the amount, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax, is less than the payee’s full marginal rate for that period,
b
in determining the payee’s “full marginal rate”, the reference to the taxable profits mentioned in subsection (4) includes any qualifying capital amount, and
c
in determining a “credit for underlying tax”, the reference to profits includes any qualifying capital amount.
9
If the rate at which a qualifying capital tax is charged on a qualifying capital amount of a payee exceeds the rate at which tax would be charged on an amount of income of the payee, the excess is to be ignored.
10
For the purposes of subsections
(7)
to
(9)
a “qualifying capital amount” means an amount of a capital nature on which a qualifying capital tax is charged.
11
A qualifying capital tax is not regarded for this purpose as charged on an amount so far as—
a
the amount is excluded, reduced or offset for the purposes of the tax by any exemption, exclusion, relief or credit that—
i
applies specifically to all or part of the amount (as opposed to amounts of a capital nature generally), or
ii
arises as a result of, or otherwise in connection with, a payment or quasi-payment that gives rise to the amount, or
b
the tax is, or falls to be, refunded (and section 259BC(6) and (7) apply for the purposes of this paragraph with the necessary modifications).
12
For the purposes of subsections
(7)
to
(11)
a “qualifying capital tax” means—
a
capital gains tax or the charge to corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains, or
b
any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that corresponds to a United Kingdom tax mentioned in paragraph
(a)
,
but does not include any tax chargeable at a nil rate.

Counteraction

Counteraction where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period
259CD
1
This section applies where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from the payer's income for the payment period is reduced by an amount equal to the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259CA(4).

Counteraction where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax
259CE
1
This section applies in relation to a payee where—
a
the payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period, and
b
it is reasonable to suppose that—
i
neither section 259CD nor any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom applies, or
ii
a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259CD applies, but does not fully counteract the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259CA(4).
2
A provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259CD does not fully counteract that mismatch if (and only if)—
a
it does not reduce the relevant deduction by the full amount of the mismatch, and
b
the payer is still able to deduct some of the relevant deduction from income in calculating taxable profits.
3
In this section “the relevant amount” is—
a
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(i) applies, an amount equal to the hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259CA(4), or
b
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies, the lesser of—
i
the amount by which that mismatch exceeds the amount by which it is reasonable to suppose the relevant deduction is reduced by a provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259CD, and
ii
the amount of the relevant deduction that may still be deducted as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
4
If the payee is the only payee, the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the payee for the counteraction period.
5
If there is more than one payee, an amount equal to the payee's share of the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the payee for the counteraction period.
6
The payee's share of the relevant amount is to be determined by apportioning that amount between all the payees on a just and reasonable basis, having regard (in particular)—
a
to any arrangements as to profit sharing that may exist between some or all of the payees,
b
to whom any under-taxed amounts (within the meaning given by section 259CB(7)) arise, and
c
to whom any amounts of ordinary income that it would be reasonable to expect to arise as a result of the payment or quasi-payment, but that do not arise, would have arisen.
7
An amount of income that is treated as arising under subsection (4) or (5) is chargeable under Chapter 8 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 (income not otherwise charged) (despite section 979(2) of that Act).
8
The “
counteraction period
” means—
a
if an accounting period of the payee coincides with the payment period, that accounting period, or
b
otherwise, the first accounting period of the payee that is wholly or partly within the payment period.
CHAPTER 4

Hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatches

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259D
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts deduction/non-inclusion mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise from payments or quasi-payments as a consequence of hybrid transfer arrangements.
2
The Chapter counteracts mismatches where the payer or a payee is within the charge to corporation tax and does so by altering the corporation tax treatment of the payer or a payee.
3
Section 259DA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Section 259DB defines “hybrid transfer arrangement”.
5
Section 259DC defines “hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch” and provides how the amount of the mismatch is to be calculated.
6
Section 259DD contains definitions of certain terms used in section 259DC.
7
Section 259DE contains provision in connection with excluding mismatches from counteraction by the Chapter where they arise as a consequence of the tax treatment of a financial trader.
8
Section 259DF contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
9
Section 259DG contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax and neither section 259DF nor any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom fully counteracts the mismatch.
10
See also section 259BB for the meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “payment period”, “relevant deduction”, “payer” and “payee”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259DA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to E are met.
2
Condition A is that there is a hybrid transfer arrangement in relation to an underlying instrument (see section 259DB).
3
Condition B is that a payment or quasi-payment is made under or in connection with—
a
the hybrid transfer arrangement, or
b
the underlying instrument.
4
Condition C is that—
a
the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period, or
b
a payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period.
5
Condition D is that it is reasonable to suppose that, disregarding this Part and any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, there would be a hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch in relation to the payment or quasi-payment (see section 259DC).
6
Condition E is that—
a
it is a quasi-payment that is made as mentioned in subsection (3) and the payer is also a payee (see section 259BB(7)),
b
the payer and a payee are related (see section 259NC) at any time in the period—
i
beginning with the day on which the hybrid transfer arrangement is made, and
ii
ending with the last day of the payment period, or
c
the hybrid transfer arrangement is a structured arrangement.
7
The hybrid transfer arrangement is a “structured arrangement” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the hybrid transfer arrangement is designed to secure a hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch, or
b
the terms of the hybrid transfer arrangement share the economic benefit of the mismatch between the parties to the arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the mismatch is expected to arise.
8
The hybrid transfer arrangement may be designed to secure a hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
9
Sections 259DF (cases where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period) and 259DG (cases where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax) make provision for the counteraction of the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch.

Meaning of “hybrid transfer arrangement”, “underlying instrument” etc
259DB
1
This section has effect for the purposes of this Chapter.
2
A “
hybrid transfer arrangement
” means—
a
a repo,
b
a stock lending arrangement, or
c
any other arrangement,
that is an arrangement within subsection (3).
3
An arrangement is within this subsection if it provides for, or relates to, the transfer of a financial instrument (“the underlying instrument”) and—
a
the dual treatment condition is met in relation to the arrangement, or
b
a substitute payment could be made under the arrangement.
4
The dual treatment condition is met in relation to the arrangement if—
a
in relation to a person, for the purposes of a tax—
i
the arrangement is regarded as equivalent, in substance, to a transaction for the lending of money at interest, and
ii
a payment or quasi-payment made under, or in connection with, the arrangement or the underlying instrument could be treated so as to reflect the fact the arrangement is so regarded, and
b
in relation to another person, for the purposes of a tax (whether or not the same one), such a payment or quasi-payment would not be treated so as to reflect the arrangement being regarded as equivalent, in substance, to a transaction for the lending of money at interest.
5
A payment or quasi-payment is a “substitute payment” if—
a
it consists of or involves—
i
an amount being paid, or
ii
a benefit being given (including the release of the whole or part of any liability to pay an amount),
b
that amount, or the value of that benefit, is representative of a return of any kind (“the underlying return”) that arises on, or in connection with, the underlying instrument, and
c
the amount is paid, or the benefit is given, to someone other than the person to whom the underlying return arises.
6
For the purposes of subsection (3) where there is an arrangement, to which a person (“P”) and another person (“Q”) are party, under which—
a
a financial instrument (“the first instrument”) ceases to be owned by P (whether or not because it ceases to exist), and
b
Q comes to own a financial instrument (“the second instrument”) under which Q has the same, or substantially the same, rights and liabilities as P had under the first instrument,
the second instrument is to be treated as being transferred from P to Q.
7
For the purposes of subsection (4) references to tax include any qualifying capital tax within the meaning given by section 259DD(11).

Hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent
259DC
1
There is a “
hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch
”, in relation to a payment or quasi-payment, if either or both of case 1 or 2 applies.
2
Case 1 applies where—
a
the relevant deduction exceeds the sum of the amounts of ordinary income that, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, arise to each payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
all or part of that excess arises for a reason mentioned in subsection (8).
3
Subject to subsection (9), for the purposes of subsection (2)(b)—
a
it does not matter whether the excess or part arises for another reason as well (even if it would have arisen for that other reason regardless of any reasons mentioned in subsection (8)), and
b
an excess or part of an excess is to be taken to arise for a reason mentioned in subsection (8) (so far as would not otherwise be the case) if, on making such of the relevant assumptions in relation to each payee as apply in relation to that payee (see subsections (4) and (5))), it could arise for a reason mentioned in subsection (8).
4
These are the “relevant assumptions”—
a
where a payee is not within the charge to a tax under the law of a payee jurisdiction because the payee benefits from an exclusion, immunity, exemption or relief (however described) under that law, assume that the exclusion, immunity, exemption or relief does not apply;
b
where an amount of income is not included in the ordinary income of a payee for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a payee jurisdiction because the payment or quasi-payment is not made in connection with a business carried on by the payee in that jurisdiction, assume that the payment or quasi-payment is made in connection with such a business;
c
where a payee is not within the charge to a tax under the law of any territory because there is no territory where the payee is—
i
resident for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of that territory, or
ii
within the charge to a tax under the law of that territory as a result of having a permanent establishment in that territory,
assume that the payee is a company that is resident for tax purposes, and carries on a business in connection with which the payment or quasi-payment is made, in the United Kingdom.
5
Where the relevant assumption in subsection (4)(c) applies in relation to a payee the following provisions are to be disregarded in relation to that payee for the purposes of subsection (3)(b)—
a
section 441 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships for unallowable purposes);
b
Part 4 (transfer pricing);
c
this Part;
d
Part 10 (corporate interest restriction).
6
Case 2 applies where there are one or more amounts of ordinary income (“under-taxed amounts”) that—
a
arise, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, to a payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
are under taxed for a reason mentioned in subsection (8).
7
Subject to subsection (9), for the purposes of subsection (6)(b) it does not matter whether an amount of ordinary income is under taxed for another reason as well (even if it would have been under taxed for that other reason regardless of any reason mentioned in subsection (8)).
8
The reasons are—
a
the dual treatment condition being met in relation to a hybrid transfer arrangement under, or in connection with, which the payment or quasi-payment is made (see section 259DB(4));
b
the payment or quasi-payment being a substitute payment.
9
For the purposes of this section, disregard—
a
any excess or part of an excess mentioned in subsection (2), and
b
any under-taxed amount,
in relation to which the financial trader exclusion applies (see section 259DE) or that arises as a result of a payee being a relevant investment fund (see section 259NA).
10
Where case 1 applies, the amount of the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the excess that arises as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
11
Where case 2 applies, the amount of the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the sum of the amounts given in respect of each under-taxed amount by—
((UTA × (FMR − R)))/FMR
where—
“UTA” is the under-taxed amount;
“FMR” is the payee's full marginal rate (expressed as a percentage) for the permitted taxable period for which the under-taxed amount arises;
“R” is the highest rate (expressed as a percentage) at which tax is charged on the taxable profits in which the under-taxed amount is included, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax.
12
Where cases 1 and 2 both apply, the amount of the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is the sum of the amounts given by subsections (10) and (11).
13
See section 259DD for the meaning of “permitted taxable period” and “under taxed”.

Interpretation of section 259DC
259DD
1
This section has effect for the purposes of section 259DC.
2
A taxable period of a payee is “
permitted
” in relation to an amount of ordinary income that arises as a result of the payment or quasi-payment if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the payment period, or
b
the period begins at a later time and it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for the period (rather than an earlier one).
3
An amount of ordinary income of a payee, for a permitted taxable period, is “under taxed” if the highest rate at which tax is charged on the taxable profits of the payee in which the amount is included, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax, is less than the payee's full marginal rate for that period.
4
The payee's “
full marginal rate
” means the highest rate at which the tax that is chargeable on the taxable profits mentioned in subsection (3) could be charged on taxable profits, of the payee for the permitted taxable period, which include ordinary income that arises from, or in connection with, a financial instrument.
5
A “
credit for underlying tax
” means a credit or relief given to reflect tax charged on profits that are wholly or partly used to fund (directly or indirectly) the payment or quasi-payment.
6
A qualifying capital amount arising to a payee is treated as an amount of ordinary income of a payee and references to tax include any qualifying capital tax.
7
For the purposes of case 2—
a
a qualifying capital amount arising to a payee, for a permitted taxable period, is “under taxed” if the highest rate at which tax is charged on the amount, taking into account on a just and reasonable basis the effect of any credit for underlying tax, is less than the payee’s full marginal rate for that period,
b
in determining the payee’s “full marginal rate”, the reference to the taxable profits mentioned in subsection (4) includes any qualifying capital amount, and
c
in determining a “credit for underlying tax”, the reference to profits includes any qualifying capital amount.
8
If the rate at which a qualifying capital tax is charged on a qualifying capital amount of a payee exceeds the rate at which tax would be charged on an amount of income of the payee, the excess is to be ignored.
9
For the purposes of subsections (6) to (8) a “qualifying capital amount” means an amount of a capital nature on which a qualifying capital tax is charged.
10
A qualifying capital tax is not regarded for this purpose as charged on an amount so far as—
a
the amount is excluded, reduced or offset for the purposes of the tax by any exemption, exclusion, relief or credit that—
i
applies specifically to all or part of the amount (as opposed to amounts of a capital nature generally), or
ii
arises as a result of, or otherwise in connection with, a payment or quasi-payment that gives rise to the amount, or
b
the tax is, or falls to be, refunded (and section 259BC(6) and (7) apply for the purposes of this paragraph with the necessary modifications).
11
For the purposes of subsections (6) to (10) a “qualifying capital tax” means—
a
capital gains tax or the charge to corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains, or
b
any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that corresponds to a United Kingdom tax mentioned in paragraph (a),
but does not include any tax chargeable at a nil rate.

The financial trader exclusion
259DE
1
This section has effect for the purposes of section 259DC(9).
2
The financial trader exclusion applies, in relation to an excess or part of an excess mentioned in section 259DC(2) or an under-taxed amount, where conditions A to C are met.
3
Condition A is that the excess or part arises, or the under-taxed amount is under taxed, because the payment or quasi-payment—
a
is a substitute payment,
b
is treated, for the purposes of tax charged on a person, so as to reflect the fact that it is representative of the underlying return, and
c
is brought into account by another person (“the financial trader”) in calculating the profits of a trade under—
i
Part 3 of CTA 2009 (trading income), or
ii
an equivalent provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
4
Condition B is that the financial trader also brings any associated payments into account as mentioned in subsection (3)(c).
5
In subsection (4) “
associated payment
” means a payment or quasi-payment—
a
in relation to which the financial trader is the payer or a payee, and
b
that is made under, or in connection with, the underlying instrument or an arrangement that relates to the underlying instrument.
6
Condition C is that—
a
if the underlying return were to arise, and be paid directly, to the payee or payees in relation to the substitute payment, neither Chapter 3 (hybrid and other mismatches from financial instruments) nor any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom would apply, and
b
the hybrid transfer arrangement under, or in connection with, which the substitute payment is made is not a structured arrangement (within the meaning given by section 259DA(7) and (8)).

Counteraction

Counteraction where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period
259DF
1
This section applies where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from the payer's income for the payment period is reduced by an amount equal to the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259DA(5).

Counteraction where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax
259DG
1
This section applies in relation to a payee where—
a
the payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period, and
b
it is reasonable to suppose that—
i
neither section 259DF nor any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom applies, or
ii
a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259DF applies, but does not fully counteract the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259DA(5).
2
A provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259DF does not fully counteract that mismatch if (and only if)—
a
it does not reduce the relevant deduction by the full amount of the mismatch, and
b
the payer is still able to deduct some of the relevant deduction from income in calculating taxable profits.
3
In this section “the relevant amount” is—
a
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(i) applies, an amount equal to the hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259DA(5), or
b
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies, the lesser of—
i
the amount by which that mismatch exceeds the amount by which it is reasonable to suppose the relevant deduction is reduced by a provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259DF, and
ii
the amount of the relevant deduction that may still be deducted as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
4
If the payee is the only payee, the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the payee for the counteraction period.
5
If there is more than one payee, an amount equal to the payee's share of the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the payee for the counteraction period.
6
The payee's share of the relevant amount is to be determined by apportioning that amount between all the payees on a just and reasonable basis, having regard (in particular)—
a
to any arrangements as to profit sharing that may exist between some or all of the payees,
b
to whom any under-taxed amounts (within the meaning given by section 259DC(6)) arise, and
c
to whom any amounts of ordinary income that it would be reasonable to expect to arise as a result of the payment or quasi-payment, but that do not arise, would have arisen.
7
An amount of income that is treated as arising under subsection (4) or (5) is chargeable under Chapter 8 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 (income not otherwise charged) (despite section 979(2) of that Act).
8
The “
counteraction period
” means—
a
if an accounting period of the payee coincides with the payment period, that accounting period, or
b
otherwise, the first accounting period of the payee that is wholly or partly within the payment period.
CHAPTER 5

Hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatches

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259E
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts deduction/non-inclusion mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise from payments or quasi-payments because the payer is a hybrid entity.
2
The Chapter counteracts mismatches where the payer or a payee is within the charge to corporation tax and does so by altering the corporation tax treatment of the payer or a payee.
3
Section 259EA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Section 259EB defines “hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch” and provides how the amount of the mismatch is to be calculated.
5
Section 259EC contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
6
Section 259ED contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax and the mismatch is not fully counteracted by provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259EC.
7
See also—
a
section 259BB for the meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “payment period”, “relevant deduction”, “payer” and “payee”, and
b
section 259BE for the meaning of “hybrid entity”, “investor” and “investor jurisdiction”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259EA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to E are met.
2
Condition A is that a payment or quasi-payment is made under, or in connection with, an arrangement.
3
Condition B is that the payer is a hybrid entity (“the hybrid payer”).
4
Condition C is that—
a
the hybrid payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period, or
b
a payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period.
5
Condition D is that it is reasonable to suppose that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (6), there would be a hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch in relation to the payment or quasi-payment (see section 259EB).
6
The provisions are—
a
this Chapter and Chapters 6 to 10, and
b
any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
7
Condition E is that—
a
it is a quasi-payment that is made as mentioned in subsection (2) and the hybrid payer is also a payee (see section 259BB(7)),
b
the hybrid payer and a payee are in the same control group (see section 259NB) at any time in the period—
i
beginning with the day on which the arrangement mentioned in subsection (2) is made, and
ii
ending with the last day of the payment period, or
c
that arrangement is a structured arrangement.
8
The arrangement is “structured” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the arrangement is designed to secure a hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch, or
b
the terms of the arrangement share the economic benefit of the mismatch between the parties to the arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the mismatch is expected to arise.
9
The arrangement may be designed to secure a hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
10
Sections 259EC (cases where the hybrid payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period) and 259ED (cases where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax) contain provision for the counteraction of the hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch.

Hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent
259EB
1
There is a “
hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch
”, in relation to a payment or quasi-payment, if—
a
the relevant deduction exceeds the sum of the amounts of ordinary income that, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, arise to each payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
all or part of that excess arises by reason of the hybrid payer being a hybrid entity.
1A
But there is no hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch so far as the relevant deduction is—
a
a debit in respect of amortisation that is brought into account under section 729 or 731 of CTA 2009 (writing down the capitalised cost of an intangible fixed asset), or
b
an amount that is deductible in respect of amortisation under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to either of those sections.
2
The amount of the hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the excess that arises as mentioned in subsection (1)(b).
3
Subject to subsections (4A) to (4C)
for the purposes of subsection (1)(b)—
a
it does not matter whether the excess or part arises for another reason as well (even if it would have arisen for that other reason regardless of whether the hybrid payer is a hybrid entity), and
b
an excess or part of an excess is to be taken to arise by reason of the hybrid payer being a hybrid entity (so far as would not otherwise be the case) if, on making such of the relevant assumptions in relation to each payee as apply in relation to that payee (see subsection (4)), it could arise by reason of the hybrid payer being a hybrid entity.
4
These are the “relevant assumptions”—
a
where a payee is not within the charge to a tax under the law of a payee jurisdiction because the payee benefits from an exclusion, immunity, exemption or relief (however described) under that law, assume that the exclusion, immunity, exemption or relief does not apply;
b
where an amount of income is not included in the ordinary income of a payee for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a payee jurisdiction because the payment or quasi-payment is not made in connection with a business carried on by the payee in that jurisdiction, assume that the payment or quasi-payment is made in connection with such a business.
4A
No excess is to be taken to arise by reason of a hybrid payer being a hybrid entity for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) so far as it is attributable to a qualifying institutional investor based in a territory under the law of which—
a
the income or profits of the hybrid entity are treated as income and profits of the investor, or
b
the hybrid entity is not regarded as a distinct and separate person to the investor.
4B
Excess is attributable to such a qualifying institutional investor to the extent that ordinary income (arising by reason of the payment or quasi-payment) would fall to be brought into account by the investor if—
a
where subsection (4A)(a) applies, under the law of the territory the income or profits of the hybrid entity were not treated as income and profits of the investor, and
b
where subsection (4A)(b) applies, under the law of the territory the hybrid entity were regarded as a distinct and separate person to the investor.
4C
To determine if a “qualifying institutional investor” is “based” in a particular territory for the purposes of subsections (4A) and (4B) see section 259NDA.
5
A taxable period of a payee is “
permitted
” in relation to an amount of ordinary income that arises as a result of the payment or quasi-payment if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the payment period, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction

Counteraction where the hybrid payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period
259EC
1
This section applies where the hybrid payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the relevant deduction so far as it does not exceed the hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259EA(5) (“the restricted deduction”) may not be deducted from the hybrid payer's income for the payment period unless it is deducted from dual inclusion income for that period.
3
So much of the restricted deduction (if any) as, by virtue of subsection (2), cannot be deducted from the payer's income for the payment period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the payer, and
b
for corporation tax purposes, may be deducted from dual inclusion income for any such period (and not from any other income), so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
4
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the payer for an accounting period means an amount that
...
is both—
a
ordinary income of the payer for that period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of an investor in the payer for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of any tax charged under the law of an investor jurisdiction.
5
A taxable period of an investor is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (4) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.
6
For the purposes of subsection (4)(b) the reference to ordinary income of an investor in the payer for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of any tax charged under the law of an investor jurisdiction is taken to include a reference to an amount that meets the following requirements.
7
The requirements are that—
a
the amount may not be deducted under the law of any territory from the income of any person for the purposes of calculating taxable profits for a relevant taxable period;
b
in the case of a person resident for tax purposes in a zero-tax territory, the amount could not be deducted from the income of the person for the purposes of calculating taxable profits for a relevant taxable period if the person were resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes; and
c
under the law of the investor jurisdiction, the amount could be deducted from the income of the investor in the hybrid payer for the purposes of calculating the investor's taxable profits for a relevant taxable period if the following assumptions were made.
8
The assumptions are that, for the purposes of identifying the recipient of the amount for tax purposes in the investor jurisdiction—
a
condition B in section 259BE(3) was not met by the hybrid payer as respects the investor jurisdiction, and
b
as a result of that, the hybrid payer was not a hybrid entity as respects the investor jurisdiction.
9
In subsection (7), “
zero-tax territory
”, in relation to a person, means a territory in which the person—
a
is not within the charge to tax, or
b
is within the charge to tax at a nil rate.
10
Section 259B(5) (determination of residence where no concept of residence for tax purposes exists) applies to the reference in subsection (7)(b) to a person's residence for tax purposes in a zero-tax territory as it applies to references to a person's residence for tax purposes in Chapter 8 or 11.
11
A taxable period of an investor or another person is “
relevant
” for the purposes of subsection (7) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in subsection (4)(a), or
b
where the period begins after that, it is just and reasonable for the question of whether the amount concerned may or could be deducted in calculating taxable profits to be determined by reference to that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction where a payee is within the charge to corporation tax
259ED
1
This section applies in relation to a payee where—
a
the payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period, and
b
it is reasonable to suppose that—
i
no provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259EC applies, or
ii
such a provision does apply, but does not fully counteract the hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259EA(5).
2
A provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259EC does not fully counteract that mismatch if (and only if)—
a
the amount of the relevant deduction that the provision prevents from being deducted from income of the hybrid payer, for the payment period, other than dual inclusion income, is less than the amount of the mismatch, and
b
the hybrid payer is still able to deduct some of the relevant deduction from income, for the payment period, that is not dual inclusion income.
3
In this section “the relevant amount” is—
a
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(i) applies, an amount equal to the hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259EA(5), or
b
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies, the lesser of—
i
the amount by which that mismatch exceeds the amount of the relevant deduction that it is reasonable to suppose is prevented, by a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259EC, from being deducted from income of the hybrid payer, for the payment period, other than dual inclusion income, and
ii
the amount of the relevant deduction that may still be deducted as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
4
If the payee is the only payee, an amount equal to—
a
the relevant amount, less
b
any dual inclusion income,
is to be treated as income arising to the payee for the counteraction period.
5
If there is more than one payee, an amount equal to—
a
the payee's share of the relevant amount, less
b
the relevant proportion of any dual inclusion income,
is to be treated as income arising to the payee for the counteraction period.
6
The payee's share of the relevant amount is to be determined by apportioning that amount between all the payees on a just and reasonable basis, having regard (in particular)—
a
to any arrangements as to profit sharing that may exist between some or all of the payees, and
b
to whom any amounts of ordinary income that it would be reasonable to expect to arise as a result of the payment or quasi-payment, but that do not arise, would have arisen.
7
The “relevant” proportion of any dual inclusion income for the payment period is the same as the proportion of the relevant amount apportioned to the payee in accordance with subsection (6).
8
An amount of income that is treated as arising under subsection (4) or (5) is chargeable under Chapter 8 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 (income not otherwise charged) (despite section 979(2) of that Act).
9
In this section—
- “
counteraction period
” means—
  1. if an accounting period of the payee coincides with the payment period, that accounting period, or
  2. otherwise, the first accounting period of the payee that is wholly or partly within the payment period;
- “
dual inclusion income
” means an amount that
...
is both—
  1. ordinary income of the payer for the payment period, and
  2. ordinary income of an investor in the payer for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of an investor jurisdiction.
10
A taxable period of an investor is “
permitted
” for the purposes of subsection (9) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the payment period, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.
CHAPTER 6

Deduction/non-inclusion mismatches relating to transfers by permanent establishments

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259F
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts certain excessive deductions that arise in relation to transfers of money or money's worth made, or taken to be made, by a multinational company's permanent establishment in the United Kingdom to the company in the parent jurisdiction.
2
The Chapter counteracts such deductions by altering the corporation tax treatment of the company.
3
Section 259FA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Subsection (3) of that section defines “multinational company” and “the parent jurisdiction”.
5
Subsection (8) of that section defines “the excessive PE deduction”.
6
Section 259FB contains provision for the counteraction of the excessive PE deduction.
7
See also section 259BF for the meaning of “permanent establishment”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259FA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to C are met.
2
Condition A is that a company is a multinational company.
3
For the purposes of this Chapter, a company is a multinational company if—
a
it is resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom (“the parent jurisdiction”) for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of that territory, and
b
it is within the charge to corporation tax because it carries on a business in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment in the United Kingdom.
4
Condition B is that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (5), there is an amount (“the PE deduction”) that—
a
may (in substance) be deducted from the company's income for the purposes of calculating the company's taxable profits for an accounting period (“the relevant PE period”) for corporation tax purposes, ...
b
is in respect of a transfer of money or money's worth from the company in the United Kingdom to the company in the parent jurisdiction that—
i
is actually made, or
ii
is (in substance) treated as being made for corporation tax purposes
, and
c
is not in respect of the financing cost of loan capital which the permanent establishment is assumed to have by virtue of section 21(2) of CTA 2009 for the purpose of applying subsection (1) of that section (the separate enterprise principle).
4A
For the purposes of this section “
the PE deduction
” does not include—
a
a debit in respect of amortisation that is brought into account under section 729 or 731 of CTA 2009 (writing down the capitalised cost of an intangible fixed asset), or
b
an amount that is deductible in respect of amortisation under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to either of those sections.
5
The provisions are—
a
this Chapter and Chapters 7 to 10, and
b
any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
6
Condition C is that it is reasonable to suppose that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (5)—
a
the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction will not result in—
i
an increase in the taxable profits of the company for any permitted taxable period, or
ii
a reduction of a loss made by the company for any permitted taxable period,
for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, or
b
those circumstances will result in such an increase or reduction for one or more permitted taxable periods, but the PE deduction exceeds the aggregate effect on taxable profits.
7
“The aggregate effect on taxable profits” is the sum of—
a
any increases, resulting from the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction, in the taxable profits of the company, for a permitted taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, and
b
any amounts by which a loss made by the company, for a permitted taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, is reduced as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction.
7A
For the purposes of subsections (6) and (7) any increase in taxable profits or reduction of losses is to be ignored in any case where tax is charged at a nil rate under the law of the parent jurisdiction.
8
In this Chapter “
the excessive PE deduction
” means—
a
where paragraph (a) of subsection (6) applies, the PE deduction, or
b
where paragraph (b) of subsection (6) applies, the PE deduction so far as it is reasonable to suppose that it exceeds the aggregate effect on taxable profits.
9
For the purposes of subsections (6) and (7) a taxable period of the company, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, is “permitted” if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the relevant PE period, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period for the purposes of subsections (6) and (7), and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction to affect the profits or loss made for that period rather than an earlier period.
10
Section 259FB contains provision for counteracting the excessive PE deduction.

Counteraction

Counteraction of the excessive PE deduction
259FB
1
For corporation tax purposes, the excessive PE deduction may not be deducted from the company's income for the relevant PE period unless it is deducted from dual inclusion income for that period.
2
So much of the excessive PE deduction (if any) as, by virtue of subsection (1), cannot be deducted from the company's income for the relevant PE period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the company, and
b
for corporation tax purposes, may be deducted from dual inclusion income of the company for any such period (and not from any other income), so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
3
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the company for an accounting period means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the company for that period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction.
4
A taxable period of the company is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (3) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.
5
For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) the reference to ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction is taken to include a reference to excessive PE inclusion income of the company.
6
Section 259FC defines “excessive PE inclusion income” of the company for this purpose.

Meaning of excessive PE inclusion income
259FC
1
In section 259FB(5), “excessive PE inclusion income” of the company means—
a
where paragraph (a) of subsection (4) applies, the PE inclusion income of the company, or
b
where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the PE inclusion income of the company so far as it is reasonable to suppose that it exceeds the aggregate effect on taxable profits.
2
For this purpose, “PE inclusion income” of the company means an amount in respect of which conditions A and B are met.
3
Condition A is that the amount is in respect of a transfer of money or money's worth from the company in the parent jurisdiction to the company in the United Kingdom that—
a
is actually made, or
b
is (in substance) treated as being made for corporation tax purposes.
4
Condition B is that it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the circumstances giving rise to the amount will not result in—
i
a reduction in the taxable profits of the company for a relevant taxable period, or
ii
an increase in a loss made by the company for a relevant taxable period,
for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, or
b
those circumstances will result in such a reduction or increase for one or more relevant taxable periods, but the amount exceeds the aggregate effect on taxable profits.
5
“The aggregate effect on taxable profits” is the sum of—
a
any reductions, resulting from the circumstances giving rise to the amount, in the taxable profits of the company, for a relevant taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, and
b
any amounts by which a loss made by the company, for a relevant taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, is increased as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the amount.
6
For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5), any reduction in taxable profits or increase of losses is to be ignored in any case where tax is charged at a nil rate under the law of the parent jurisdiction.
7
A taxable period of the company is “
relevant
” for the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in section 259FB(3)(a), or
b
where the period begins after that, it is just and reasonable for the question of whether the circumstances giving rise to the amount will result in a reduction in taxable profits or an increase in a loss to be determined by reference to that taxable period rather than an earlier period.
CHAPTER 7

Hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatches

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259G
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts deduction/non-inclusion mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise from payments or quasi-payments because a payee is a hybrid entity.
2
The Chapter counteracts mismatches by—
a
altering the corporation tax treatment of the payer for the payment period,
b
treating income chargeable to corporation tax as arising to an investor who is within the charge to corporation tax, or
c
treating income chargeable to corporation tax as arising to a payee that is a hybrid entity and a limited liability partnership.
3
Section 259GA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Section 259GB defines “hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch” and provides how the amount of the mismatch is to be calculated.
5
Section 259GC contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
6
Section 259GD contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where an investor in the payee is within the charge to corporation tax and the mismatch is not fully counteracted by section 259GC or an equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
7
Section 259GE contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where a payee is a hybrid entity and limited liability partnership and the mismatch is not otherwise fully counteracted.
8
See also—
a
section 259BB for the meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “payment period”, “relevant deduction”, “payer” and “payee”;
b
section 259BE for the meaning of “hybrid entity”, “investor” and “investor jurisdiction”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259GA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to E are met.
2
Condition A is that a payment or quasi-payment is made under, or in connection with, an arrangement.
3
Condition B is that a payee is a hybrid entity (a “hybrid payee”).
4
Condition C is that—
a
the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period,
b
an investor in a hybrid payee is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period, or
c
a hybrid payee is a limited liability partnership.
5
Condition D is that it is reasonable to suppose that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (6), there would be a hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch in relation to the payment or quasi-payment (see section 259GB).
6
The provisions are—
a
this Chapter and Chapters 8 to 10, and
b
any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
7
Condition E is that—
a
it is a quasi-payment that is made as mentioned in subsection (2) and the payer is also a hybrid payee (see section 259BB(7)),
b
the payer and a hybrid payee or an investor in a hybrid payee are in the same control group (see section 259NB) at any time in the period—
i
beginning with the day on which the arrangement mentioned in subsection (2) is made, and
ii
ending with the last day of the payment period, or
c
that arrangement is a structured arrangement.
8
The arrangement is “structured” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the arrangement is designed to secure a hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch, or
b
the terms of the arrangement share the economic benefit of the mismatch between the parties to the arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the mismatch is expected to arise.
9
The arrangement may be designed to secure a hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
10
The following provisions contain provision for the counteraction of the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch—
a
section 259GC (cases where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period),
b
section 259GD (cases where an investor in a hybrid payee is within the charge to corporation tax), and
c
section 259GE (cases where a hybrid payee is a limited liability partnership).

Hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent
259GB
1
There is a “
hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch
”, in relation to a payment or quasi-payment, if—
a
the relevant deduction exceeds the sum of the amounts of ordinary income that, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, arise to each payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
all or part of that excess arises by reason of one or more payees being hybrid entities.
1A
But there is no hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch so far as the relevant deduction is—
a
a debit in respect of amortisation that is brought into account under section 729 or 731 of CTA 2009 (writing down the capitalised cost of an intangible fixed asset), or
b
an amount that is deductible in respect of amortisation under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to either of those sections.
2
The extent of the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the excess that arises as mentioned in subsection (1)(b).
2A
No excess is to be taken to arise by reason of a hybrid payee being a hybrid entity for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) so far as it is attributable to a qualifying institutional investor based in a territory under the law of which—
a
the income or profits of the hybrid entity are not treated as income or profits of the investor, or
b
the hybrid entity is regarded as a distinct and separate person to the investor.
2B
Excess is attributable to such a qualifying institutional investor to the extent that ordinary income (arising by reason of the payment or quasi-payment) would fall to be brought into account by the investor if—
a
where subsection (2A)(a) applies, under the law of the territory the income or profits of the hybrid entity were treated as income or profits of the investor, and
b
where subsection (2A)(b) applies, under the law of the territory the hybrid entity were not regarded as a distinct and separate person to the investor.
2C
To determine if a “qualifying institutional investor” is “based” in a particular territory for the purposes of subsections (2A) and (2B) see section 259NDA.
3
A relevant amount of the excess is to be taken (so far as would not otherwise be the case) to arise as mentioned in subsection (1)(b) where—
a
a payee is a hybrid entity,
b
there is no territory—
i
where that payee is resident for the purposes of a tax charged
at a higher rate than nil
under the law of that territory, or
ii
under the law of which ordinary income arises to that payee, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, for the purposes of a tax that is charged on that payee by virtue of that payee having a permanent establishment in that territory, and
c
no income arising to that payee, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, is brought into account in calculating chargeable profits for the purposes of the CFC charge or a foreign CFC charge.
4
For the purposes of subsection (3), the “relevant amount” of the excess is the lesser of—
a
the amount of the excess, and
b
an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income that it is reasonable to suppose would, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, arise to the payee for corporation tax purposes, if—
i
the payee were a company, and
ii
the payment or quasi-payment were made in connection with a trade carried on by the payee in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment in the United Kingdom.
4A
In applying subsection (4)(b) in a case where the payee is a partnership
or a relevant transparent entity
, it is to be assumed that no amount of ordinary income arises to the payee, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, if—
a
a partner in the partnership
, or a member of the entity,
is entitled to the amount, and
b
having regard only to—
i
the law of the territory where the partnership
or entity
is established, and
ii
the law of the territory where the partner
or member
is resident for tax purposes or, if the partner
or member
is not resident anywhere for tax purposes, where the partner
or member
is established,
the payee would not be regarded as a hybrid entity.
4AA
Subsection (4AB) applies in relation to a payment or quasi-payment if—
a
one or more of the payees is a partnership or a relevant transparent entity,
b
there is a territory under the law of which an amount of ordinary income would arise, or would potentially arise, to a hybrid entity as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction if the entity were a person resident in that territory for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of that territory, and
c
that hybrid entity is not (ignoring subsection (4AB)(b)) a payee.
4AB
Where this subsection applies—
a
if any such hybrid entity is not either a partnership or a relevant transparent entity, subsection (4A) does not apply, or
b
otherwise, every such hybrid entity is to be treated as a payee for the purposes of determining, for the purposes of subsection (1)(b), if an excess arises by reason of one or more payees being hybrid entities.
4B
In
subsections (4A) to (4AB) and (4C)
“partnership” has the meaning given by section 259NE(4).
4C
An entity is a “relevant transparent entity” if—
a
the entity is not a partnership,
b
the entity is legally constituted in a territory outside the United Kingdom,
c
all of the entity’s income or profits for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of that territory are treated (or would be if there were any) for the purposes of that tax as the income or profits of its members, and
d
any such tax that is, or that would be, charged on such a member that is resident for tax purposes in that territory is not charged at a nil rate.
4D
For the purposes of subsection (4C), a person is a “member” of an entity if the person is entitled to a proportion of the profits of the entity as a result of—
a
where the entity has share capital, holding shares forming part of that capital, or
b
where the entity does not have share capital, an entitlement similar to that which would be enjoyed if the entity had share capital and the person held shares forming part of that capital.
5
In subsection (3)(c) “chargeable profits”—
a
in relation to the CFC charge, has the same meaning as in Part 9A (see section 371VA), and
b
in relation to a foreign CFC charge, means the concept (by whatever name known) corresponding to chargeable profits within the meaning of that Part.
6
A taxable period of a payee is “
permitted
” in relation to an amount of ordinary income that arises as a result of the payment or quasi-payment if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the payment period, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction

Counteraction where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period
259GC
1
This section applies where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from the payer's income for the payment period is reduced by an amount equal to the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259GA(5).

Counteraction where the investor is within the charge to corporation tax
259GD
1
This section applies in relation to an investor in a hybrid payee where—
a
the investor is within the charge to corporation tax for an accounting period some or all of which falls within the payment period, and
b
it is reasonable to suppose that—
i
neither section 259GC nor any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom applies, or
ii
a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259GC applies, but does not fully counteract the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259GA(5).
2
A provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259GC does not fully counteract that mismatch if (and only if)—
a
it does not reduce the relevant deduction by the full amount of the mismatch, and
b
the payer is still able to deduct some of the relevant deduction from income in calculating taxable profits.
3
In this section “the relevant amount” is—
a
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(i) applies, an amount equal to the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch, or
b
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies, the lesser of—
i
the amount by which that mismatch exceeds the amount by which it is reasonable to suppose the relevant deduction is reduced by a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259GC, and
ii
the amount of the relevant deduction that may still be deducted as mentioned in subsection (2)(b).
4
If the investor is the only investor in the hybrid payee, the appropriate proportion of the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the investor for the counteraction period.
5
If there is more than one investor in the hybrid payee, an amount equal to the investor's share of the appropriate proportion of the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the investor for the counteraction period.
6
For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) the “appropriate proportion of the relevant amount”—
a
if the hybrid payee is the only hybrid payee, is all of the relevant amount, or
b
if there is more than one hybrid payee, is the proportion of the relevant amount apportioned to the hybrid payee upon an apportionment of that amount between all the hybrid payees on a just and reasonable basis having regard (in particular) to—
i
any arrangements as to profit sharing that may exist between some or all of the payees, and
ii
the extent to which it is reasonable to suppose that the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259GA(5) arises by reason of each hybrid payee being a hybrid entity.
7
The investor's share of the appropriate proportion of the relevant amount is to be determined by apportioning that proportion of that amount between all the investors in the hybrid payee on a just and reasonable basis, having regard (in particular) to any arrangements as to profit sharing that may exist between some or all of those investors.
8
An amount of income that is treated as arising under subsection (4) or (5) is chargeable under Chapter 8 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 (income not otherwise charged) (despite section 979(23) of that Act).
9
The “
counteraction period
” means—
a
if an accounting period of the investor coincides with the payment period, that accounting period, or
b
otherwise, the first accounting period of the investor that is wholly or partly within the payment period.

Counteraction where a hybrid payee is an LLP
259GE
1
This section applies in relation to a hybrid payee where the hybrid payee is a limited liability partnership and it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
none of the following provisions applies—
i
section 259GC;
ii
section 259GD;
iii
any provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to either of those sections, or
b
one or more of those provisions apply, but the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259GA(5) is not fully counteracted.
2
The mismatch is not fully counteracted if (and only if), after the application of such of those provisions as apply—
a
the relevant deduction is not reduced by the full amount of the mismatch,
b
the payer is still able to deduct some of the relevant deduction from income in calculating taxable profits, and
c
the lesser of—
i
the difference between the amount of the mismatch and the amount by which it is reasonable to suppose the relevant deduction is reduced, and
ii
the amount of the relevant deduction that may still be deducted,
exceeds the sum of any amounts of income treated as arising under section 259GD or any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
3
In this section “the relevant amount” is—
a
in a case where subsection (1)(a) applies, an amount equal to the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259GA(5), or
b
in a case where subsection (1)(b) applies, an amount equal to the excess mentioned in subsection (2)(c).
4
If the hybrid payee is the only hybrid payee, an amount equal to the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the hybrid payee on the last day of the payment period.
5
If there is more than one hybrid payee, an amount equal to the hybrid payee's share of the relevant amount is to be treated as income arising to the hybrid payee on the last day of the payment period.
6
The hybrid payee's share of the relevant amount is to be determined by apportioning that amount between all the hybrid payees on a just and reasonable basis, having regard (in particular) to—
a
any arrangements as to profit sharing that may exist between some or all of the payees, and
b
the extent to which it is reasonable to suppose that the hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in section 259GA(5) arises by reason of each hybrid payee being a hybrid entity.
7
An amount of income that is treated as arising under subsection (4) or (5) is chargeable to corporation tax on the hybrid payee (as opposed to being chargeable to tax on any of its members) under Chapter 8 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 (income not otherwise charged) (despite section 979(2) of that Act).
8
Section 863 of
ITTOIA
2005 (treatment of certain limited liability partnerships for income tax purposes) and section 1273 of CTA 2009 (treatment of certain limited liability partnerships for corporation tax purposes) are disapplied in relation to the hybrid payee to the extent necessary for the purposes of subsection (7).
9
This section is to be disregarded for the purposes of determining whether the hybrid payee is within the charge to corporation tax for the purposes of any other provision of this Part, except section 259M (anti-avoidance).
CHAPTER 8

Multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatches

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259H
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts deduction/non-inclusion mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise from payments or quasi-payments, where the payer is within the charge to corporation tax, because a payee is multinational company.
2
The Chapter counteracts mismatches by altering the corporation tax treatment of the payer.
3
Section 259HA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Subsection (4) of that section defines “multinational company”, “parent jurisdiction” and “PE jurisdiction”.
5
Section 259HB defines “multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch” and provides how the amount of the mismatch is to be calculated.
6
Section 259HC contains provision that counteracts the mismatch.
7
See also—
a
section 259BB for the meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “payment period”, “relevant deduction”, “payer” and “payee”;
b
section 259BF for the meaning of “permanent establishment”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259HA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to E are met.
2
Condition A is that a payment or quasi-payment is made under, or in connection with, an arrangement.
3
Condition B is that a payee is a multinational company.
4
For the purposes of this Chapter, a company is a “multinational company” if—
a
it is resident in a territory (“the parent jurisdiction”) for tax purposes under the law of that territory, and
b
it is regarded as carrying on a business in another territory (“the PE jurisdiction”) through a permanent establishment in that territory (whether it is so regarded under the law of the parent jurisdiction, the PE jurisdiction or any other territory).
5
Condition C is that—
a
the payer is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period, or
b
the multinational company—
i
is UK resident for the payment period, and
ii
under the law of the parent jurisdiction, is regarded as carrying on a business in the PE jurisdiction through a permanent establishment in that territory but, under the law of the PE jurisdiction, is not regarded as doing so.
6
Condition D is that it is reasonable to suppose that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (7), there would be a multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch in relation to the payment or quasi-payment (see section 259HB).
7
The provisions are—
a
this Chapter and Chapters 9 and 10, and
b
any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
8
Condition E is that—
a
it is a quasi-payment that is made as mentioned in subsection (2) and the payer is also a payee (see section 259BB(7)),
b
the payer and the multinational company are in the same control group (see section 259NB) at any time in the period—
i
beginning with the day on which the arrangement mentioned in subsection (2) is made, and
ii
ending with the last day of the payment period, or
c
that arrangement is a structured arrangement.
9
The arrangement is “structured” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the arrangement is designed to secure a multinational
payee
deduction/non-inclusion mismatch, or
b
the terms of the arrangement share the economic benefit of the mismatch between the parties to the arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the mismatch is expected to arise.
10
The arrangement may be designed to secure a multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
11
Section 259HC contains provision for the counteraction of the multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch.

Multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatches and their extent
259HB
1
There is a “
multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch
”, in relation to a payment or quasi-payment, if—
a
the relevant deduction exceeds the sum of the amounts of ordinary income that, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, arise to each payee for a permitted taxable period, and
b
all or part of that excess arises by reason of one or more payees being multinational companies.
1A
But there is no multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch so far as the relevant deduction is—
a
a debit in respect of amortisation that is brought into account under section 729 or 731 of CTA 2009 (writing down the capitalised cost of an intangible fixed asset), or
b
an amount that is deductible in respect of amortisation under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to either of those sections.
2
The extent of the multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch is equal to the excess that arises as mentioned in subsection (1)(b).
2A
The excess is to be taken (so far as would not otherwise be the case) to arise for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) by reason of a payee being a multinational company so far as it would not arise if it is assumed—
a
that the company is not regarded, under the law of the parent jurisdiction, the PE jurisdiction or any other territory, as carrying on a business in the PE jurisdiction through a permanent establishment in that jurisdiction, and
b
that, for tax purposes under the law of the parent jurisdiction, all amounts of ordinary income arising, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, to the company are regarded as arising to it in that jurisdiction and nowhere else.
3
For the purposes of subsection (1)(b)—
a
where the law of a PE jurisdiction in relation to a payee that is a multinational company makes no provision for charging tax on any companies, so much of the excess as arises as a result is to be taken not to arise by reason of that payee being a multinational company, but
b
subject to that, it does not matter whether the excess or part arises for another reason as well as one or more payees being multinational companies (even if it would have arisen for that other reason regardless of whether any payees are multinational companies).
4
A taxable period of a payee is “
permitted
” in relation to an amount of ordinary income that arises as a result of the payment or quasi-payment if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the payment period, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction

Counteraction of the multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch
259HC
For corporation tax purposes—
a
if paragraph (b) of Condition C in subsection (5) of section 259HA is met, an amount equal to the multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch mentioned in subsection (6) of that section is to be treated as income arising to the multinational company in the United Kingdom (and nowhere else) for the payment period, and
b
in any other case, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from the payer’s income for that period is to be reduced by that amount.
CHAPTER 9

Hybrid entity double deduction mismatches

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259I
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts double deduction mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise by reason of a person being a hybrid entity.
2
The Chapter counteracts mismatches where the hybrid entity, or an investor in the hybrid entity, is within the charge to corporation tax and does so by altering the corporation tax treatment of the entity or investor.
3
Section 259IA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Subsection (4) of that section defines “hybrid entity double deduction amount”.
5
Section 259IB contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where an investor in the hybrid entity is within the charge to corporation tax.
6
Section 259IC contains provision that, in certain circumstances, counteracts the mismatch where the hybrid entity is within the charge to corporation tax and the mismatch is not fully counteracted by provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259IB.
7
See also section 259BE for the meaning of “hybrid entity”, “investor” and “investor jurisdiction”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259IA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to C are met.
2
Condition A is that there is an amount or part of an amount that, disregarding the provisions mentioned in subsection (3), it is reasonable to suppose—
a
could be deducted from the income of a hybrid entity for the purposes of calculating the taxable profits of that entity for a taxable period (“the hybrid entity deduction period”), and
b
could also be deducted, under the law of the investor jurisdiction, from the income of an investor in the hybrid entity for the purposes of calculating the taxable profits of that investor for a taxable period (“the investor deduction period”).
3
The provisions are—
a
this Chapter and Chapter 10, and
b
any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
4
In this Chapter the amount or part of an amount mentioned in subsection (2) is referred to as “
the hybrid entity double deduction amount
”.
5
Condition B is that—
a
the investor is within the charge to corporation tax for the investor deduction period, or
b
the hybrid entity is within the charge to corporation tax for the hybrid entity deduction period.
6
Condition C is that—
a
the hybrid entity and any investor in it are related (see section 259NC) at any time—
i
in the hybrid entity deduction period, or
ii
in the investor deduction period, or
b
an arrangement, to which the hybrid entity or any investor in it is party, is a structured arrangement.
7
An arrangement is “structured” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the arrangement is designed to secure the hybrid entity double deduction amount, or
b
the terms of the arrangement share the economic benefit of that amount being deductible by both the hybrid entity and the investor between the parties to the arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the amount is expected to arise.
8
The arrangement may be designed to secure the hybrid entity double deduction amount despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
9
Sections 259IB (cases where the investor is within the charge to corporation tax for the investor deduction period) and 259IC (cases where the hybrid entity is within the charge to corporation tax for the hybrid entity deduction period) contain provision for the counteraction of the hybrid entity double deduction amount.

Counteraction

Counteraction where the investor is within the charge to corporation tax
259IB
1
This section applies in relation to the investor in the hybrid entity where the investor is within the charge to corporation tax for the investor deduction period.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the hybrid entity double deduction amount may not be deducted from the investor's income for the investor deduction period unless it is deducted from dual inclusion income of the investor for that period.
3
So much of the hybrid entity double deduction amount (if any) as, by virtue of subsection (2), cannot be deducted from the investor's income for the investor deduction period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the investor, and
b
for corporation tax purposes, may be deducted from dual inclusion income of the investor for any such period (and not from any other income), so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
4
If the Commissioners are satisfied that the investor will have no dual inclusion income—
a
for an accounting period after the investor deduction period (“
the relevant period
”), nor
b
for any accounting period after the relevant period,
any of the hybrid entity double deduction amount that has not been deducted from dual inclusion income for an accounting period before the relevant period in accordance with subsection (2) or (3) (“the stranded deduction”) may be deducted at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the investor's taxable total profits of the relevant period.
5
So much of the stranded deduction (if any) as cannot be deducted, in accordance with subsection (4), at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the investor's taxable total profits of the relevant period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the investor, and
b
may be so deducted for any such period, so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
6
Subsection (7) applies if it is reasonable to suppose that all or part of the hybrid entity double deduction amount is (in substance) deducted (“the illegitimate overseas deduction”), under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, from income of any person, for a taxable period, that is not dual inclusion income of the investor for an accounting period.
7
For the purposes of determining how much of the hybrid entity double deduction amount may be deducted (if any) for the accounting period of the investor in which the taxable period mentioned in subsection (6) ends, and any subsequent accounting periods of the investor, an amount of it equal to the illegitimate overseas deduction is to be taken to have already been deducted for a previous accounting period of the investor.
8
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the investor for an accounting period means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the investor for that period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of the hybrid entity for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of any tax under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
9
A taxable period of the hybrid entity is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (8) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period of the investor mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction where the hybrid entity is within the charge to corporation tax
259IC
1
This section applies where—
a
the hybrid entity is within the charge to corporation tax for the hybrid entity deduction period,
b
it is reasonable to suppose that—
i
no provision under the law of an investor jurisdiction that is equivalent to section 259IB applies, or
ii
such a provision does apply, but the hybrid entity double deduction amount exceeds the amount that, under that provision, cannot be deducted from income, for the investor deduction period, other than dual inclusion income of the hybrid entity for the hybrid entity deduction period, and
c
the secondary counteraction condition is met.
2
The secondary counteraction condition is met if—
a
the hybrid entity and any investor in it are in the same control group (see section 259NB) at any time in—
i
the hybrid entity deduction period, or
ii
the investor deduction period, or
b
there is an arrangement, to which the hybrid entity or any investor in it is party, that is a structured arrangement (within the meaning given by section 259IA(7) and (8)).
3
In this section “
the restricted deduction
” means—
a
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(i) applies, the hybrid entity double deduction amount, or
b
in a case where subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies, the hybrid entity double deduction amount so far as it exceeds the amount that it is reasonable to suppose, under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259IB, cannot be deducted from income, for the investor deduction period, other than dual inclusion income of the hybrid entity for the hybrid entity deduction period.
4
For corporation tax purposes, the restricted deduction may not be deducted from the hybrid entity's income for the hybrid entity deduction period
unless it is deducted from dual inclusion income for that period.
5
So much of the restricted deduction (if any) as, by virtue of subsection (4), cannot be deducted from the hybrid entity's income for the hybrid entity deduction period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the hybrid entity, and
b
for corporation tax purposes, may be deducted from dual inclusion income of the hybrid entity for any such period (and not from any other income), so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
6
If the Commissioners are satisfied that the hybrid entity will have no dual inclusion income—
a
for an accounting period after the hybrid entity deduction period (“
the relevant period
”), nor
b
for any accounting period after the relevant period,
any of the restricted deduction that has not been deducted from dual inclusion income for an accounting period before the relevant period in accordance with subsection (4) or (5) (“the stranded deduction”) may be deducted at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the hybrid entity's taxable total profits of the relevant period.
7
So much of the stranded deduction (if any) as cannot be deducted, in accordance with subsection (6), at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the hybrid entity's taxable total profits of the relevant period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the hybrid entity, and
b
may be so deducted for any such period, so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
8
Subsection (9) applies if it is reasonable to suppose that all or part of the hybrid entity double deduction amount is (in substance) deducted (“the illegitimate overseas deduction”), under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, from income of any person
other than an investor in the hybrid entity
, for a taxable period, that is not dual inclusion income of the hybrid entity for an accounting period.
9
For the purposes of determining how much of the hybrid entity double deduction amount may be deducted (if any) for the accounting period of the hybrid entity in which the taxable period mentioned in subsection (8) ends, and any subsequent accounting periods of the hybrid entity, an amount of it equal to the illegitimate overseas deduction is to be taken to have already been deducted for a previous accounting period of the hybrid entity.
10
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the hybrid entity for an accounting period means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the hybrid entity for that period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of an investor in the hybrid entity for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of any tax charged under the law of an investor jurisdiction.
11
A taxable period of an investor is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (10) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Deemed dual inclusion income for the purposes of section 259IC
259ICA
1
For the purposes of section 259IC(10)(b) the reference to ordinary income of an investor in the hybrid entity for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of any tax charged under the law of an investor jurisdiction is taken to include a reference to an amount that meets the following requirements.
2
The requirements are that—
a
the amount may not be deducted under the law of any territory from the income of any person for the purposes of calculating taxable profits for a relevant taxable period;
b
in the case of a person resident for tax purposes in a zero-tax territory, the amount could not be deducted from the income of the person for the purposes of calculating taxable profits for a relevant taxable period if the person were resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes; and
c
under the law of the investor jurisdiction, the amount could be deducted from the income of the investor in the hybrid entity for the purposes of calculating the investor's taxable profits for a relevant taxable period if the following assumptions were made.
3
The assumptions are that, for the purposes of identifying the recipient of the amount for tax purposes in the investor jurisdiction, it is assumed that—
a
condition B in section 259BE(3) was not met by the hybrid entity as respects the investor jurisdiction, and
b
as a result of that, the hybrid entity was not a hybrid entity as respects the investor jurisdiction.
4
In subsection (2), “
zero-tax territory
”, in relation to a person, means a territory in which the person—
a
is not within the charge to tax, or
b
is within the charge to tax at a nil rate.
5
Section 259B(5) (determination of residence where no concept of residence for tax purposes exists) applies to the reference in subsection (2)(b) to a person's residence for tax purposes in a zero-tax territory as it applies to references to a person's residence for tax purposes in Chapter 8 or 11.
6
A taxable period of an investor or another person is “
relevant
” for the purposes of subsection (2) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in section 259IC(10)(a), or
b
where the period begins after that, it is just and reasonable for the question of whether the amount concerned may or could be deducted in calculating taxable profits to be determined by reference to that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

CHAPTER 10

Dual territory double deduction cases

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259J
1
This Chapter contains provision that counteracts double deduction mismatches that it is reasonable to suppose would otherwise arise as a result of a company—
a
being a dual resident company, or
b
being a relevant multinational company.
2
The counteraction operates by altering the corporation tax treatment of the company.
3
Section 259JA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
4
Subsection (3) of that section defines “dual resident company”.
5
Subsection (4) of that section defines “relevant multinational company”, “parent jurisdiction” and “PE jurisdiction”.
6
Subsection (5) of that section defines “dual territory double deduction amount”.
7
Section 259JB contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the company is a dual resident company.
8
Section 259JC contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the company is a multinational company and the United Kingdom is the parent jurisdiction.
9
Section 259JD contains provision that counteracts the mismatch where the company is a relevant multinational company, the United Kingdom is the PE jurisdiction and the mismatch is not counteracted under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to section 259JC.
10
See also section 259BF for the meaning of “permanent establishment”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259JA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A and B are met.
2
Condition A is that a company is a—
a
dual resident company, or
b
relevant multinational company.
3
For the purposes of this Chapter a company is a “dual resident company” if—
a
it is
UK
resident, and
b
it is also within the charge to a tax under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom because—
i
it derives its status as a company from that law,
ii
its place of management is in that territory, or
iii
it is for some other reason treated under that law as resident in that territory for the purposes of that tax.
4
For the purposes of this Chapter a company is a “relevant multinational company” if—
a
it is within the charge to a tax, under the law of a territory (“the PE jurisdiction”) in which it is not resident for tax purposes, because it carries on business in that territory through a permanent establishment in that territory, and
b
either—
i
the PE jurisdiction is the United Kingdom, or
ii
the territory in which the company is resident for tax purposes (“the parent jurisdiction”) is the United Kingdom.
5
Condition B is that there is an amount (“the dual territory double deduction amount”) that, disregarding this Chapter and any equivalent provision under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, it is reasonable to suppose could, by reason of the company being a dual resident company or a relevant multinational company—
a
be deducted from the company's income for an accounting period (“the deduction period”) for corporation tax purposes, and
b
also be deducted from the company's income for a taxable period (“the foreign deduction period”) for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
6
The following provisions provide for the counteraction of the dual territory double deduction amount—
a
section 259JB (cases where a company is dual resident),
b
section 259JC (cases where a company is a relevant multinational and the United Kingdom is the parent jurisdiction), and
c
section 259JD (cases where a company is a relevant multinational, the United Kingdom is the PE jurisdiction and the amount is not counteracted in the parent jurisdiction).

Counteraction

Counteraction where mismatch arises because of a dual resident company
259JB
1
This section applies where the dual territory double deduction amount arises by reason of the company being a dual resident company.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the dual territory double deduction amount may not be deducted from the company's income for the deduction period unless it is deducted from dual inclusion income of the company for that period.
3
So much of the dual territory double deduction amount (if any) as, by virtue of subsection (2), cannot be deducted from the company's income for the deduction period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the company, and
b
for corporation tax purposes, may be deducted from dual inclusion income of the company for any such period (and not from any other income), so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
4
If the Commissioners are satisfied that the company has ceased to be a dual resident company, any of the dual territory double deduction amount that has not been deducted from dual inclusion income in accordance with subsection (2) or (3) (“the stranded deduction”) may be deducted at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the company's taxable total profits of the accounting period in which it ceased to be a dual resident company.
5
So much of the stranded deduction (if any) as cannot be deducted, in accordance with subsection (4), at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the company's taxable total profits of the accounting period in which the company ceased to be a dual resident company—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the company, and
b
may be so deducted for any such period, so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
6
Subsection (7) applies if it is reasonable to suppose that all or part of the dual territory double deduction amount is (in substance) deducted (“the illegitimate overseas deduction”), under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, from income of any person
other than the company
, for a taxable period, that is not dual inclusion income of the company for an accounting period.
7
For the purposes of determining how much of the dual territory double deduction amount may be deducted (if any) for the accounting period of the company in which the taxable period mentioned in subsection (6) ends, and any subsequent accounting periods of the company, an amount of it equal to the illegitimate overseas deduction is to be taken to have already been deducted for a previous accounting period of the company.
8
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the company for an accounting period means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the company for that period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
9
A taxable period of the company is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (8) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction where mismatch arises because of a relevant multinational and the UK is the parent jurisdiction
259JC
1
This section applies where—
a
the dual territory double deduction amount arises by reason of the company being a relevant multinational company, and
b
the United Kingdom is the parent jurisdiction.
2
If some or all of the dual territory double deduction amount is (in substance) deducted (“the impermissible overseas deduction”), for the purposes of a tax under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, from the income of any person, for any taxable period, that is not dual inclusion income of the company—
a
the dual territory double deduction amount that may be deducted, for corporation tax purposes, from the company's income for the deduction period is reduced by the amount of the impermissible overseas deduction, and
b
such just and reasonable adjustments (if any) as are required to give effect to that reduction, for corporation tax purposes, are to be made.
3
Any adjustment required to be made under subsection (2) 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.
4
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the company means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the company for an accounting period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
5
A taxable period is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (4) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period of the company mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction where mismatch arises because of a relevant multinational and is not counteracted in the parent jurisdiction
259JD
1
This section applies where—
a
the dual territory double deduction amount arises as a result of the company being a relevant multinational company,
b
the United Kingdom is the PE jurisdiction, and
c
it is reasonable to suppose that no provision of the law of the parent jurisdiction that is equivalent to section 259JC applies.
2
For corporation tax purposes, the dual territory double deduction amount may not be deducted from the company's income for the deduction period unless it is deducted from dual inclusion income of the company for that period.
3
So much of the dual territory double deduction amount (if any) as, by virtue of subsection (2), cannot be deducted from the company's income for the deduction period—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the company, and
b
for corporation tax purposes, may be deducted from dual inclusion income of the company for any such period (and not from any other income), so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
4
If the Commissioners are satisfied that the company has ceased to be a relevant multinational company, any of the dual territory double deduction amount that has not been deducted from dual inclusion income in accordance with subsection (2) or (3) (“the stranded deduction”) may be deducted at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the company's taxable total profits of the accounting period in which it ceased to be a relevant multinational company.
5
So much of the stranded deduction (if any) as cannot be deducted, in accordance with subsection (4), at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the company's taxable total profits of the accounting period in which the company ceased to be a relevant multinational company—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the company, and
b
may be so deducted for any such period, so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
6
Subsection (7) applies if it is reasonable to suppose that all or part of the dual territory double deduction amount is (in substance) deducted (“the illegitimate overseas deduction”), under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, from income of any person
other than the company
, for a taxable period, that is not dual inclusion income of the company for an accounting period.
7
For the purposes of determining how much of the dual territory double deduction amount may be deducted (if any) for the accounting period of the company in which the taxable period mentioned in subsection (6) ends, and any subsequent accounting periods of the company, an amount of it equal to the illegitimate overseas deduction is to be taken to have already been deducted for a previous accounting period of the company.
8
In this section “dual inclusion income” of the company for an accounting period means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the company for that period for corporation tax purposes, and
b
ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.
9
A taxable period of the company is “
permitted
” for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (8) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.
10
For the purposes of subsection (8)(b) the reference to ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom is taken to include a reference to excessive PE inclusion income of the company.
11
Section 259JE defines “excessive PE inclusion income” of the company for this purpose.

Meaning of excessive PE inclusion income
259JE
“1
In section 259JD(10), “excessive PE inclusion income” of the company means—
a
where paragraph (a) of subsection (4) applies, the PE inclusion income of the company, or
b
where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the PE inclusion income of the company so far as it is reasonable to suppose that it exceeds the aggregate effect on taxable profits.
2
For this purpose, “PE inclusion income” of a company for an accounting period means an amount in respect of which conditions A and B are met.
3
Condition A is that the amount is in respect of a transfer of money or money's worth from the company in the parent jurisdiction to the company in the United Kingdom that—
a
is actually made, or
b
is (in substance) treated as being made for corporation tax purposes.
4
Condition B is that it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the circumstances giving rise to the amount will not result in—
i
a reduction in the taxable profits of the company for a relevant taxable period, or
ii
an increase in a loss made by the company for a relevant taxable period,
for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, or
b
those circumstances will result in such a reduction or increase for one or more relevant taxable periods, but the amount exceeds the aggregate effect on taxable profits.
5
“The aggregate effect on taxable profits” is the sum of—
a
any reductions, resulting from the circumstances giving rise to the amount, in the taxable profits of the company, for a relevant taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, and
b
any amounts by which a loss made by the company, for a relevant taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, is increased as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the amount.
6
For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5), any reduction in taxable profits or increase of losses is to be ignored in any case where tax is charged at a nil rate under the law of the parent jurisdiction.
7
A taxable period of the company is “
relevant
” for the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the accounting period mentioned in section 259JD(8)(a), or
b
where the period begins after that, it is just and reasonable for the question of whether the circumstances giving rise to the amount will result in a reduction in taxable profits or an increase in a loss to be determined by reference to that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

4C
Section 259KF contains provision for cases also falling within Part 4 (transfer pricing).
5
See also section 259BB for the meaning of “payment”, “quasi-payment”, “relevant deduction”, “payment period” and “payer”.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which the Chapter applies
259KA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to G are met.
2
Condition A is that a payment or quasi-payment (“the imported mismatch payment”) is made under, or in connection with, an arrangement (“the imported mismatch arrangement”).
3
Condition B is that, in relation to the imported mismatch payment, the payer (“P”) is within the charge to corporation tax for the payment period.
4
Condition C is that the imported mismatch arrangement is one of a series of arrangements.
5
A “
series of arrangements
” means a number of arrangements that are each entered into (whether or not one after the other) in pursuance of, or in relation to, another arrangement (“the over-arching arrangement”).
6
Condition D is that—
a
under an arrangement in the series other than the imported mismatch arrangement, there is a payment or quasi-payment (“the mismatch payment”) in relation to which it is reasonable to suppose that there is or will be—
i
a hybrid or otherwise impermissible deduction/non-inclusion mismatch (see section 259CB),
ii
a hybrid transfer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch (see section 259DC),
iii
a hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatch (see section 259EB),
iv
a hybrid payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch (see section 259GB),
v
a multinational payee deduction/non-inclusion mismatch (see section 259HB),
vi
a hybrid entity double deduction amount (see section 259IA(4)), or
vii
a dual territory double deduction (see section 259KB), or
b
as a consequence of an arrangement in the series other than the imported mismatch arrangement, there is or will be an excessive PE deduction (see section 259KB),
and in this Chapter “
the relevant mismatch
” means the mismatch, amount or deduction concerned.
7
Condition E is that it is reasonable to suppose that the relevant mismatch is not capable of counteraction.
7A
A relevant mismatch is capable of counteraction to the extent it is capable of being considered, for the purposes of determining the tax treatment of a person, other than P, under the law of a territory that is OECD mismatch compliant.
7B
If a proportion of the relevant mismatch is not capable of being so considered under the law of any such territory—
a
Condition E is met in relation to that proportion, and
b
the remainder of the relevant mismatch is to be ignored for the purposes of this Part.
7C
A determination about the extent to which a relevant mismatch is capable of being so considered is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.
7D
A territory is OECD mismatch compliant if under the law of that territory effect is given to the Final Report on Neutralising the Effects of Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development on 5 October 2015 or any replacement or supplementary publication (within the meaning of section 259BA(3)).
8. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
9
Condition G is that—
a
subsection (6)(a) applies and P is in the same control group (see section 259NB)
as a payee
, in relation to the mismatch payment, at any time in the period—
i
beginning with the day the over-arching arrangement is made, and
ii
ending with the last day of the payment period in relation to the imported mismatch payment,
b
subsection (6)(b) applies and P is in the same control group as the company in relation to whom the excessive PE deduction arises at any time in that period, or
c
the imported mismatch arrangement, or the over-arching arrangement, is a structured arrangement.
10
The imported mismatch arrangement, or the over-arching arrangement, is a “structured arrangement” if it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
the arrangement concerned is designed to secure the relevant mismatch, or
b
the terms of the arrangement concerned share the economic benefit of the relevant mismatch between the parties to that arrangement or otherwise reflect the fact that the relevant mismatch is expected to arise.
11
An arrangement may be designed to secure the relevant mismatch despite also being designed to secure any commercial or other objective.
12
Section 259KC contains provision for denying all or part of the relevant deduction in relation to the imported mismatch payment by reference to the relevant mismatch.

Meaning of “dual territory double deduction”, “excessive PE deduction” and “PE jurisdiction”
259KB
1
This section has effect for the purposes of this Chapter.
2
A “
dual territory double deduction
” means an amount that can be deducted by a company both—
a
from income for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of one territory, and
b
from income for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of another territory.
3
A “PE deduction” is an amount that—
a
may (in substance) be deducted from a company's income for the purposes of calculating the company's taxable profits, for a taxable period, for the purposes of a tax that is charged on the company, under the law of a territory (“the PE jurisdiction”), by virtue of the company having a permanent establishment in that territory, and
b
is in respect of a transfer of money or money's worth, from the company in the PE jurisdiction to the company in another territory (“the parent jurisdiction”) in which it is resident for the purposes of a tax, that—
i
is actually made, or
ii
is (in substance) treated as being made for tax purposes.
3A
For the purposes of this section a “
PE deduction
” does not include—
a
a debit in respect of amortisation that is brought into account under section 729 or 731 of CTA 2009 (writing down the capitalised cost of an intangible fixed asset), or
b
an amount that is deductible in respect of amortisation under a provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to either of those sections.
4
A PE deduction is “excessive” so far as it exceeds the sum of—
a
any increases, resulting from the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction, in the taxable profits of the company, for a permitted taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, and
b
any amounts by which a loss made by the company, for a permitted taxable period, for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction, is reduced as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction.
4A
For the purposes of subsection (4) any increase in taxable profits or reduction of losses is to be ignored in any case where tax is charged at a nil rate under the law of the parent jurisdiction.
5
A taxable period of the company is “
permitted
” for the purposes of subsection (4) if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the taxable period mentioned in subsection (3)(a), or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period for the purposes of subsection (4), and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the circumstances giving rise to the PE deduction to affect the profits or loss made for that period rather than an earlier period.

Counteraction

Denial of the relevant deduction in relation to the imported mismatch payment
259KC
1
If, in addition to the imported mismatch payment, there are, or will be, one or more relevant payments in relation to the relevant mismatch, subsection (3) applies.
2
Otherwise, for corporation tax purposes, in relation to the imported mismatch payment, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from P's income for the payment period is to be reduced by the amount of the relevant mismatch.
2A
But any reduction under this section has effect subject to section 259KD (deductions from dual inclusion income)
and section 259KE (limit on reduction under section 259KC)
.
3
For corporation tax purposes, where this subsection applies, in relation to the imported mismatch payment, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from P's income for the payment period is to be reduced by P's share of the relevant mismatch.
4
P's share of the relevant mismatch is to be determined by apportioning the relevant mismatch between P and every payer in relation to a relevant payment on a just and reasonable basis—
a
where
section 259KA(6)(a)
applies, having regard (in particular) to the extent to which the imported mismatch payment and each relevant payment funds (directly or indirectly) the mismatch payment, or
b
where the relevant mismatch is an excessive PE deduction, having regard (in particular) to—
i
if the transfer of money or money's worth mentioned in section 259KB(3)(b) is actually made, the extent to which the imported mismatch payment and each relevant payment funds (directly or indirectly) the transfer, or
ii
if the transfer of money or money's worth mentioned in section 259KB(3)(b) is (in substance) treated as being made, the extent to which the imported mismatch payment and each relevant payment would have funded (directly or indirectly) the transfer if it had actually been made.
5
For the purposes of subsection (4)(a) and (b)(i), the imported mismatch payment is to be taken to fund the mismatch payment or transfer to the extent that the mismatch payment or transfer cannot be shown instead to be funded (directly or indirectly) by one or more relevant payments.
6
For the purposes of subsection (4)(b)(ii), it is to be assumed that the imported mismatch payment would have funded the transfer if it had actually been made to the extent that it cannot be shown by P that, if it had been made, the transfer would have instead been funded (directly or indirectly) by one or more relevant payments.
7
For the purposes of this section, a payment or quasi-payment, other than the imported mismatch payment or any mismatch payment, is a “
relevant payment
” in relation to the relevant mismatch if it is made under an arrangement in the series of arrangements mentioned in section 259KA(4) and—
a
where
section 259KA(6)(a)
applies, it funds (directly or indirectly) the mismatch payment,
b
where the relevant mismatch is an excessive PE deduction and the transfer of money or money's worth mentioned in section 259KB(3)(b) is actually made, it funds (directly or indirectly) that transfer, or
c
where the relevant mismatch is an excessive PE deduction and the transfer of money or money's worth mentioned in section 259KB(3)(b) is (in substance) treated as being made, it would have funded (directly or indirectly) that transfer had that transfer actually been made.
8
In proceedings before a court or tribunal in connection with this section—
a
in relation to subsection (1), it is for P to show that, in addition to the imported mismatch payment, there are one or more relevant payments in relation to the relevant mismatch, and
b
in relation to subsection (5), it is for P to show that the mismatch payment or transfer is funded (directly or indirectly) by one or more relevant payments instead of by the imported mismatch payment.

Deductions from dual inclusion income
259KD
1
If—
a
section 259KA(6)(a) applies as a result of any of sub-paragraphs (iii) to (vii), or
b
section 259KA(6)(b) applies,
a reduction under section 259KC is not to exceed the relevant net amount.
2
For the purposes of this section “the relevant net amount” means—
a
if section 259KA(6)(a)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) applies, the amount which, if Chapter 5, 7, 8 or 9 applied to the tax treatment of any person in respect of the mismatch payment, could not be deducted from that person’s income under that Chapter (ignoring the effect of any of the carry-forward provisions),
b
if section 259KA(6)(a)(vii) applies, the amount by which the dual territory double deduction of the company mentioned in section 259KB(2) for a deduction period exceeds its dual inclusion income for that period, or
c
if section 259KA(6)(b) applies, the amount by which the excessive
PE
deduction of the company mentioned in section 259KB(4) for the permitted taxable period mentioned there exceeds its dual inclusion income for that period.
3
In subsection
(2)(a)
“the carry-forward provisions” means—
a
section 259EC(3) (hybrid payer deduction/non-inclusion mismatches),
b
section 259IB(3) to (5) (hybrid entity double deduction mismatches: investor within charge to corporation tax), and
c
section 259IC(5) to (7) (hybrid entity double deduction mismatches: hybrid entity within charge to corporation tax).
4
In subsection
(2)(b)
“dual inclusion income” of a company for a deduction period (that is to say, a period for which the dual territory double deduction is deducted as mentioned in section 259KB(2)(a)) means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the company for that period for the purposes of a tax charged as mentioned in section 259KB(2)(a), and
b
ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged as mentioned in section 259KB(2)(b).
5
A taxable period of the company is “permitted” for the purposes of subsection
(4)(b)
if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the deduction period, or
b
where that period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.
6
In subsection
(2)(c)
“dual inclusion income” of a company for a period means an amount that is both—
a
ordinary income of the company for that period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the
PE
jurisdiction, and
b
ordinary income of the company for a permitted taxable period for the purposes of a tax charged under the law of the parent jurisdiction.
7
A taxable period of the company is “permitted” for the purposes of paragraph
(b)
of subsection
(6)
if—
a
the period begins before the end of 12 months after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph
(a)
of that subsection, or
b
where the period begins after that—
i
a claim has been made for the period to be a permitted period in relation to the amount of ordinary income, and
ii
it is just and reasonable for the amount of ordinary income to arise for that taxable period rather than an earlier period.

Limit on reduction under section 259KC
259KE
1
This section applies where, in relation to the imported mismatch payment, the relevant deduction that may be deducted from P's income for a payment period is to be reduced under section 259KC.
2
The reduction is not to exceed the amount that the relevant mismatch would have been if the amount of the mismatch payment had been equal to the amount of the imported mismatch payment.

Provision for cases within Part 4
259KF
1
This section applies where, in calculating the profits and losses of P for tax purposes, the amount to be deducted in respect of the imported mismatch payment is required to be reduced (whether or not to nil) under section 147(3) or (5) (tax calculations to be based on arm's length, not actual, provision).
2
For the purposes of section 259KC(2), the amount of the relevant mismatch is to be determined as if the mismatch payment was reduced by the same proportion as the reduction mentioned in subsection (1).
3
For the purposes of section 259KC(3)—
a
the amount of the relevant mismatch is taken to be the amount it would have been had the arm's length provision been made or imposed instead of the actual provision in relation to the imported mismatch payment (making such assumptions as to the amount of the mismatch payment as are reasonable in the circumstances), and
b
P's share of the relevant mismatch is to be determined accordingly.
4
In subsection (3) “the arm's length provision” and “the actual provision” are to be construed in accordance with section 147(1).
CHAPTER 12

Adjustments in light of subsequent events etc

Adjustments where suppositions cease to be reasonable
259L
1
Where—
a
a reasonable supposition is made for the purposes of any provision of this Part, and
b
the supposition turns out to be mistaken or otherwise ceases to be reasonable,
such consequential adjustments as are just and reasonable may be made.
2
The adjustments may be made (whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs) by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, amendment or disallowance of a claim, or otherwise.
3
But the power to make adjustments by virtue of this section is subject to any time limit imposed by or under any enactment other than this Part.
4
No adjustment is to be made under this section on the basis that an amount of ordinary income arises, as a result of a payment or quasi-payment, to a payee after that payee's last permitted taxable period in relation to the payment or quasi-payment (see section 259LA, which makes provision about certain such cases).

Deduction from taxable total profits where an amount of ordinary income arises late
259LA
1
This section applies where—
a
a relevant deduction in respect of a payment or quasi-payment is reduced by section 259CD, 259DF, 259GC or 259HC or by more than one of those sections,
b
no other provision of this Part, or any equivalent provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, applies or will apply to the tax treatment of any person in respect of the payment or quasi-payment,
c
the section or sections had effect because it was reasonable to suppose that the relevant deduction exceeded, or would exceed, the sum of the amounts of ordinary income arising, by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, to each payee for a permitted taxable period, and
d
an amount of ordinary income (“the late income”) arises—
i
by reason of the payment or quasi-payment, but
ii
not as a consequence of any provision of this Part or any equivalent provision of the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom,
to a payee for a taxable period (“the late period”) that is not a permitted taxable period.
2
An amount equal to the late income may be deducted at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the payer's taxable total profits of the accounting period in which the late period ends.
3
So much of that amount (if any) as cannot be deducted, in accordance with subsection (2), at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 in calculating the taxable total profits of the accounting period in which the late period ends—
a
is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods of the payer, and
b
may be so deducted for any such period, so far as it cannot be deducted under this paragraph for an earlier period.
4
But the total amount deducted from taxable total profits under this section, in relation to a payment or quasi-payment, may not exceed the total amount by which the relevant deduction is reduced as mentioned in (1)(a).
5
In this section “permitted taxable period”—
a
where the relevant deduction was reduced under section 259CD, has the meaning given by section 259CC(2),
b
where the relevant deduction was reduced under section 259DF, has the meaning given by section 259DD(2),
c
where the relevant deduction was reduced under section 259GC, has the meaning given by section 259GB(6),
d
where the relevant deduction was reduced under section 259HC, has the meaning given by section 259HB(4), or
e
where the relevant deduction was reduced under two or more of the sections mentioned in the preceding paragraphs of this subsection, includes any taxable period that is a permitted period under a provision mentioned in the paragraphs concerned.

Adjustments in light of later treatment for accounting purposes
259LB
1
This section applies where—
a
a payment or quasi-payment gives rise to a debit of a company that is recognised for accounting purposes,
b
a relevant deduction of the company in respect of some or all of the debit is reduced by any provision of this Part,
c
there is a reversal of some or all of the debit by a credit of the company that is recognised for accounting purposes after the end of the payment period, and
d
the credit is brought into account for corporation tax purposes.
2
Such consequential adjustments as are just and reasonable may be made in respect of so much of the debit as gives rises to the relevant deduction and as is reversed by the credit.
3
The adjustments may be made (whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs) by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, amendment or disallowance of a claim, or otherwise.
4
The power to make adjustments by virtue of this section may be exercised despite any time limit imposed by or under any enactment.
CHAPTER 12A

Allocation of dual inclusion income within group

Introduction

Overview of Chapter
259ZM
1
This Chapter contains provision that allows surplus dual inclusion income to be allocated within a group of companies.
2
Section 259ZMA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
3
Subsection (2) of that section defines “the DII surplus” and subsection (3) of that section defines “the DII shortfall”.
4
Sections 259ZMB to 259ZMD contain provision allowing the unused part of the DII surplus of one company to be treated as dual inclusion income of another company in the same group, where it can be matched against the unused part of the DII shortfall of the other company.
5
Section 259ZME identifies when companies are in the same group.

Application of Chapter

Circumstances in which Chapter applies
259ZMA
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to E are met.
2
Condition A is that, for an accounting period (“the surplus period”), the dual inclusion income of a company (“company A”) exceeds its counteraction amount.
In this Chapter, the amount of the excess is referred to as “
the DII surplus
”.
3
Condition B is that, for an accounting period (“the shortfall period”), the counteraction amount of another company (“company B”) exceeds its dual inclusion income.
In this Chapter, the amount of the excess is referred to as “
the DII shortfall
”.
4
See section 259ZMF for the meanings of “dual inclusion income” and “counteraction amount”.
5
Condition C is that there is a period (“the overlapping period”) that is common to both the surplus period and the shortfall period (and see subsections (8) and (9)).
6
Condition D is that there is a time during the overlapping period when both company A and company B are within the charge to corporation tax.
7
Condition E is that there is a time during the overlapping period when company A and company B are members of the same group of companies (see section 259ZME).
8
Subsection (9) applies if, during any part of the overlapping period—
a
either company A or company B is not within the charge to corporation tax, or
b
company A and company B are not members of the same group of companies.
9
That part is treated as not forming part of the overlapping period but instead as—
a
forming part of the surplus period that is not included in the overlapping period, and
b
forming part of the shortfall period that is not included in the overlapping period.

Allocation of DII surplus

Claims for allocation of DII surplus
259ZMB
1
Company B may make a claim (an “allocation claim”) for all or part of the unused part of the DII surplus of company A for the overlapping period (see section 259ZMC) to be allocated to company B for the shortfall period, if the following requirements are met.
- Requirement 1
Company A consents to the allocation claim.
- Requirement 2
The allocation claim identifies the amount of the DII surplus to which it relates.
- Requirement 3
Company B has an amount of ordinary income for the shortfall period (“matchable income”) that—
  1. is not dual inclusion income, and
  2. is equal to or exceeds the amount of the DII surplus to which the allocation claim relates.
- Requirement 4
The allocation claim identifies the amount of matchable income to which the claim relates.
- Requirement 5
The amount of matchable income to which the claim relates—
  1. is equal to the amount of the DII surplus to which the claim relates, and
  2. does not exceed the unused part of the DII shortfall of company B for the shortfall period (see section 259ZMD).
2
If company B makes an allocation claim—
a
the amount of company A's dual inclusion income for the surplus period is reduced by the amount of matchable income to which the claim relates, and
b
the amount of matchable income to which the claim relates is treated in relation to company B as if the following assumptions were made.
3
The assumptions are that—
a
things done by or to company A in relation to that amount are treated as done by or to company B, and
b
all other factual circumstances (or circumstances treated as existing as a result of any provision made by this Part) in relation to that amount are unchanged.

The unused part of the DII surplus
259ZMC
1
This section identifies the unused part of the DII surplus of company A for the overlapping period, for the purposes of an allocation claim made by company B (“the current allocation claim”).
2
The unused part of the DII surplus of company A for the overlapping period is the amount equal to—
a
the DII surplus for the overlapping period (see subsection (3)), less
b
the amount of prior allocations for that period (see subsections (4) to (7)).
3
To determine the DII surplus for the overlapping period—
a
take the proportion of the surplus period included in the overlapping period, and
b
apply that proportion to the DII surplus for the surplus period.
The DII surplus for the overlapping period is the amount given as a result of paragraph (b).
4
To determine the amount of prior allocations for the overlapping period—
a
identify any prior allocation claims for the purposes of this section (see subsection (5)), and
b
take the steps set out in subsection (6) in relation to each such claim.
The amount of prior allocations for the overlapping period is the total of the previously used amounts given at Step 3 in subsection (6) for all the prior allocation claims.
5
An allocation claim is a prior allocation claim for the purposes of this section if—
a
it is an allocation claim made by a company in respect of all or part of the DII surplus of company A for the surplus period,
b
it is made before the current allocation claim, and
c
it has not been withdrawn.
6
These are the steps referred to in subsection (4)(b) to be taken in relation to each prior allocation claim.
- Step 1
Identify the overlapping period for the prior allocation claim.
- Step 2
Identify any period that is common to the overlapping period for the current allocation claim and the overlapping period for the prior allocation claim. If there is a common period, go to Step 3. If there is no common period, there is no previously allocated amount in relation to the prior allocation claim (and ignore Step 3).
- Step 3
Determine the previously allocated amount of the DII surplus in relation to the prior allocation claim (see subsection (7)).
7
To determine the previously allocated amount of the DII surplus in relation to the prior allocation claim—
a
take the proportion of the overlapping period for the prior allocation claim that is included in the common period identified at Step 2 in subsection (6) in relation to that claim, and
b
apply that proportion to the amount of the DII surplus allocated on the prior allocation claim.
The previously allocated amount of the DII surplus in relation to the prior allocation claim is the amount given as a result of paragraph (b).
8
If two or more allocation claims are made at the same time, for the purposes of this section treat the claims as made—
a
in such order as the companies making them may jointly elect, or
b
if no such election is made, in such order as an officer of Revenue and Customs may direct.
9
For the purposes of Step 3 in subsection (6), the amount of the DII surplus allocated on a prior allocation claim is determined on the basis that an amount is allocated on the claim before it is allocated on a later claim.
10
If the use of the proportion mentioned in subsection (3) or (7) would, in the circumstances of a particular case, produce a result that is unjust or unreasonable, the proportion is to be modified so far as necessary to produce a result that is just and reasonable.

The unused part of the DII shortfall
259ZMD
1
This section identifies the unused part of the DII shortfall of company B for the shortfall period, for the purposes of an allocation claim made by company B (“the current allocation claim”).
2
The unused part of the DII shortfall of company B for the shortfall period is the amount equal to—
a
the DII shortfall for the shortfall period, less
b
the amount of prior matches for the shortfall period (see subsections (3) to (5)).
3
To determine the amount of prior matches for the shortfall period—
a
identify any prior allocation claims for the purposes of this section (see subsection (4)), and
b
determine the previously matched amount of the DII shortfall in relation to each prior allocation claim (see subsection (5)).
The amount of prior matches for the shortfall period is the total of the previously matched amounts of the DII shortfall in relation to all the prior allocation claims.
4
An allocation claim is a prior allocation claim for the purposes of this section if—
a
it is an allocation claim made by company B for the shortfall period,
b
it is made before the current allocation claim, and
c
it has not been withdrawn.
5
The previously matched amount of the DII shortfall in relation to a prior allocation claim is the amount that is treated as dual inclusion income of company B for the shortfall period as a result of the claim (see section 259ZMB(3)(a)).
6
If two or more allocation claims are made at the same time, for the purposes of this section treat the claims as made—
a
in such order as company B may elect, or
b
if no such election is made, in such order as an officer of Revenue and Customs may direct.
7
For the purposes of subsection (3)(b), the amount of the DII shortfall matched in relation to a prior allocation claim is determined on the basis that an amount is matched on the claim before it is matched on a later claim.

c
that person is—
i

ii
would be within the charge to corporation tax at that time but for the relevant avoidance arrangements.
2
The relevant tax advantage is to be counteracted by making such adjustments to the person's treatment for corporation tax purposes as are just and reasonable.
3
Any adjustments required to be made under this section (whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs) may be made by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, amendment or disallowance of a claim, or otherwise.
4
A person obtains a “relevant tax advantage” if—
a

“
Relevant avoidance arrangements
” means arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to enable any person to obtain a relevant tax advantage.
6
But arrangements are not “relevant avoidance arrangements” if the obtaining of the relevant tax advantage can reasonably be regarded as consistent with the principles on which the provisions of this Part, or the equivalent provisions under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, that are relevant to the arrangements are based (whether express or implied) and the policy objectives of those provisions.
7
For the purposes of determining the principles and policy objectives mentioned in subsection (6), regard may, where appropriate, be had to the Final Report on Neutralising the Effects of Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“

1
This section applies where—
a
Chapter 3, 4, 5 or 7 applies in respect of a payment or quasi-payment,

2
For the purposes of this section, a proportion of a payment or quasi-payment is attributable to a person if, as a result of that payment or quasi-payment—
a
ordinary income arises to that person, or
b
would arise if the person were resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom.
3
The primary fund in relation to a person is—

where the income arises or would arise because of an indirect interest the person has in a transparent fund as a result of another transparent fund, or a series of transparent funds, having an interest in that first fund, that first fund, or
b
where the income arises or would arise because of a direct or indirect interest the person has in a single transparent fund, that fund.

d
where Chapter 7 applies, in section 259GA(7)(c).
5
The Chapter in question applies subject to subsection (6).
6
If it is reasonable to suppose that the proportion of the payment or quasi-payment that is attributable to a person as a result of the person's interest in the primary fund is less than 10% of the relevant amount, that proportion is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the extent of a mismatch under the Chapter in question.
7
For the purposes of subsection (6) “
the relevant amount
” means the amount of ordinary income that it would, on the relevant assumption, have been reasonable to expect to arise to the primary fund as a result of—
a
in the case of a payment, the payment, or
b
in the case of a quasi payment, the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction (see section 259BB(2)).
8
The relevant assumption is that the primary fund were a person to whom ordinary income would arise as a result of that payment or those circumstances.
9
Where a person to whom a proportion of the payment or quasi-payment is attributable as a result of the person's interest in the primary fund is connected (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsections (4) and (7) of that section) to another person to whom a proportion is attributable as a result of that person's interest in that same fund, the rights and interests of those persons are to be aggregated (and accordingly if the proportion attributable between them is 10% or more of the relevant amount, that proportion is not to be ignored).

a
Chapter 9 applies in relation to a hybrid entity double deduction amount (see section 259IA(4)) in respect of an investor in a hybrid entity,
b
the condition in section 259IA(6)(b) is not met, and
c
that investor in the hybrid entity is an investor in it as a result of an interest (direct or indirect) it has in a transparent fund (“

i
the hybrid entity, or
ii
another entity that is not a transparent fund and which holds a direct or indirect interest in the hybrid entity.
2
Chapter 9 applies subject to subsection (3).
3
If it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
some or all of the hybrid entity double deduction amount that relates to the investor arises as a result of the investor's interest in the relevant fund, and
b
the amount that arises as a result of that interest (“
the relevant amount
”) is less than 10% of the potential double deduction amount,
the relevant amount is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the extent of a mismatch under that Chapter.
4
In this section “
potential double deduction amount
” means the hybrid double deduction amount that would arise in relation to the relevant fund if it were an investor in the hybrid entity.
5
Where the investor is connected (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsections (4) and (7) of that section) to another investor with an interest in the relevant fund, the rights and interests of those investors are to be aggregated (and accordingly, if the sum of the relevant amounts in respect of each of them is 10% or more of the potential double deduction amount, that proportion is not to be ignored).

Application of Chapter 11
259MD
1
Subsection (2) applies where—
a
Chapter 11 applies as a result of sub-paragraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of section 259KA(6)(a) applying as a result of a payment or quasi-payment to which section 259MB would apply if the Chapter corresponding to that sub-paragraph applied in relation to that payment or quasi-payment, and
b

2
Where this section applies for the purposes of determining whether a person has a “25% investment” in another person for the purposes of section 259NC(2), references in this section to X% are to be read as references to 25%.

i
it is reasonable to suppose is designed to affect the value of any of T's rights or interest in relation to U, or
ii

7C
To determine whether P has a “relevant investment” in U at a particular time, subsections (3) and (4) apply but as if—
a
for “an X%”, in both places, there were substituted
“ a relevant ”
, and
b
for “X% or more”, in each place, there were substituted
“ greater than 5% ”
.
7D
For that purpose—
a
subsection (6) is to be ignored, and
b
P's rights and interests are to be aggregated with the rights and interests of persons connected to P (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsection (4) of that section).
8
... P does not “act together” with T in relation to U under
paragraph (b) of subsection (7A)
where—

12
This Part is part of the Corporation Tax Acts.
Chapter 2

The CFC charge

Introduction to the CFC charge
371BA
1
The CFC charge is charged in relation to accounting periods of CFCs in accordance with section 371BC.
2
Section 371BC applies in relation to a CFC's accounting period if (and only if)—
a
the CFC has chargeable profits for the accounting period, and
b
none of the exemptions set out in Chapters 10 to 14 applies for the accounting period.
3
A CFC's chargeable profits for an accounting period are its assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period determined on the basis—
a
that the CFC's assumed total profits for the accounting period are limited to only so much of those profits as pass through the CFC charge gateway, and
b
that amounts are to be relieved against the assumed total profits at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 only so far as it is just and reasonable for them to be so relieved having regard to paragraph (a).
4
“The CFC charge gateway” is explained in section 371BB.
5
Subsection (3) is subject to section 371SB(7) and (8) (which relates to settlement income included in a CFC's chargeable profits).

The CFC charge gateway
371BB
1
Take the following steps to determine the extent to which a CFC's assumed total profits for an accounting period pass through the CFC charge gateway.
- Step 1
In accordance with Chapter 3, determine which (if any) of Chapters 4 to 8 apply for the accounting period. If none of those Chapters applies, none of the CFC's assumed total profits pass through the CFC charge gateway and step 2 is not to be taken.
- Step 2
Determine the extent to which the CFC's assumed total profits fall within any of the Chapters which applies for the accounting period. The CFC's assumed total profits pass through the CFC charge gateway so far as they fall within any of those Chapters.
2
Subsection (1) is subject to—
a
Chapter 9 (exemptions for profits from qualifying loan relationships), and
b
section 371JE (which provides for adjustments of profits which would otherwise pass through the CFC charge gateway linked to the exemption set out in Chapter 10).

Charging the CFC charge
371BC
1
Take the following steps if, as provided for by section 371BA(2), this section applies in relation to a CFC's accounting period.
- Step 1
In accordance with Chapter 15, determine the persons (“the relevant persons”) who have relevant interests in the CFC at any time during the accounting period. If none of the relevant persons is a company which meets the
UK
residence condition (see subsection (2)), the CFC charge is not charged in relation to the accounting period and no further steps are to be taken.
- Step 2
In accordance with Chapter 16, determine the CFC's creditable tax for the accounting period.
- Step 3
In accordance with Chapter 17, apportion the CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax among the relevant persons.
- Step 4
Take each relevant person which is a company meeting the
UK
residence condition and, in accordance with section 371BD, determine if the company is a chargeable company. If there are no chargeable companies, the CFC charge is not charged in relation to the accounting period and step 5 is not to be taken.
- Step 5
The CFC charge is charged on each chargeable company as follows. A sum equal to—
  1. corporation tax at the appropriate rate on P% of the CFC's chargeable profits, less
  2. Q% of the CFC's creditable tax,
is charged on the chargeable company as if it were an amount of corporation tax charged on the company for the relevant corporation tax accounting period. This step is subject to sections 371BG
to 371BI
.
2
A company meets the
UK
residence condition if it is
UK
resident at a time during the accounting period when it has a relevant interest in the CFC.
3
For the purpose of taking step 5 in subsection (1) in relation to a chargeable company (“CC”)—
- “the appropriate rate”, subject to
subsection (4) and
section 371BH, means—
  1. the rate of corporation tax applicable to CC's profits of the relevant corporation tax accounting period on which corporation tax is chargeable (see section 4(1) and (2) of CTA 2010), or
  2. if there is more than one such rate, the average rate over the whole of the relevant corporation tax accounting period,
- “
P%
” means the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits apportioned to CC,
- “
Q%
” means the percentage of the CFC's creditable tax apportioned to CC, and
- “
the relevant corporation tax accounting period
” means CC's accounting period for corporation tax purposes during which the CFC's accounting period ends.
4
In determining “the appropriate rate”, it must be assumed that all of CC's profits of the relevant corporation tax accounting period on which corporation tax is chargeable are chargeable at the main rate rather than the Northern Ireland rate.

Chargeable companies
371BD
1
A company (“C”) which meets the
UK
residence condition is a chargeable company for the purposes of step 4 in section 371BC(1) if the total of the following percentages is at least 25%—
a
the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits apportioned to C at step 3 in section 371BC(1), and
b
the percentages (if any) of those profits which are apportioned at that step to relevant persons who, at any time during the accounting period, are connected or associated with C.
2
Subsection (1) is subject to sections 371BE and 371BF.

Companies which are managers of offshore funds etc
371BE

S.I.
2009/3001) is met in relation to the fund,
c
C meets the fund management condition, and
d
apart from this section, a sum of no more than £500,000 would be charged on C as a chargeable company at step 5 in section 371BC(1).
2
In applying regulation 75 of the 2009 Regulations for the purposes of subsection (1)(b), the reference in paragraph (1) to the period of account is to be read as a reference to the accounting period.
3
C meets the fund management condition if at all times during the accounting period when C has relevant interests in the offshore fund—
a
the assets of the offshore fund are managed by C or a person connected with C,
b
C or the person connected with C receives out of those assets fees for managing those assets, and
c
C holds its relevant interests only or mainly for the purpose of attracting participants (as defined in section 362) to the fund who are not connected with C.
4
If the accounting period is less than 12 months, the amount specified in subsection (1)(d) is to be reduced proportionately.

Companies which are participants in offshore funds
371BF
1
A company (“C”) is not a chargeable company for the purposes of step 4 in section 371BC(1) if—
a
the CFC is an offshore fund (as defined in section 355),
b
at the relevant time and at all subsequent relevant times, C reasonably believes that the requirement of section 371BD(1) will not be met in relation to it, and
c
the meeting of that requirement in relation to C is in no way attributable to any step—
i
which was taken by C or any person connected or associated with C, and
ii
which, at the time it was taken, could reasonably have been expected to cause that requirement to be met.
2
“
The relevant time
” means—
a
the beginning of the accounting period, or
b
if C has no relevant interests in the offshore fund at the beginning of the accounting period, the time when C first has a relevant interest during the accounting period.
3
“
Subsequent relevant time
” means any time during the accounting period at which there is an increase or some other change in the relevant interests in the offshore fund which C has.

Companies holding shares as trading assets etc
371BG
1
Subsection (2) applies if conditions A to C are met in relation to a relevant interest, or a part of a relevant interest, which a chargeable company (“CC”) has in the CFC at all times during the CFC's accounting period.
2
Step 5 in section 371BC(1) is to be taken in relation to CC on the following basis.
3
That basis is—
a
so much of P% as is attributable to CC having the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, during the CFC's accounting period is to be left out of P%, and
b
so much of Q% as is so attributable is to be left out of Q%.
4
Condition A is that, at all times during the CFC's accounting period, CC has the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, by virtue of its holding shares (“the relevant shares”) in the CFC (directly or indirectly).
5
Condition B is that any increase in the value of the relevant shares at any time during the relevant corporation tax accounting period is (or would be) income, or brought into account in determining any income, of CC chargeable to corporation tax for that period.
6
Condition C is that any dividend or other distribution received at any time during the relevant corporation tax accounting period by CC from the CFC (directly or indirectly) by virtue of its holding the relevant shares is (or would be) income, or brought into account in determining any income, of CC chargeable to corporation tax for that period.
7
Subsection (8) applies if—
a
CC has the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, by virtue of section 371OB(3) or (4),
b
the CFC is an offshore fund (as defined in section 355) which does not meet the qualifying investments test in section 493 of CTA 2009, and
c
conditions B and C would be met but for the offshore fund not meeting that test.
8
Conditions B and C are to be taken to be met.

An additional sum is charged on CC at step 5 in section 371BC(1) and, for this purpose, step 5 is to be taken on the following basis.
3
That basis is—
a
in paragraph (a) at step 5, the reference to the appropriate rate is to be read as a reference to—
i
the policyholders' rate of tax under section 102 of FA 2012 applicable to the I-E profit for the relevant corporation tax accounting period, or
ii
if there is more than one such rate, the average rate over the whole of the relevant corporation tax accounting period, and
b
any reduction of P% or Q% under section 371BG(3) by reference to any relevant interest of CC is to be ignored, but—
i
P% is to be reduced so that it represents only the policyholders' share of the BLAGAB component of the apportioned profit (see subsections (10) to (12)), and
ii
Q% is to be reduced by the same proportion as P% is reduced under sub-paragraph (i).
4
Condition D is that, at all times during the CFC's accounting period, CC has the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, by virtue of its holding shares (“the relevant shares”) in the CFC (directly or indirectly).
5
Condition E is met if the following requirement is met in relation to a time during the relevant corporation tax accounting period.
6
The requirement is that any increase (or any part of any increase) in the value of the relevant shares which occurs at that time is not (or would not be) brought into account at step 1 in section 73 of FA 2012 in determining whether CC has an I-E profit for the relevant corporation tax accounting period.
7
Condition F is met if the following requirement is met in relation to a time during the relevant corporation tax accounting period.
8
The requirement is that any dividend or other distribution (or any part of any dividend or other distribution) received at that time by CC from the CFC (directly or indirectly) by virtue of its holding the relevant shares is not (or would not be) brought into account at step 1 in section 73 of FA 2012 in determining whether CC has an I-E profit for the relevant corporation tax accounting period.
9
Condition G is that the assets which represent the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, during the CFC's accounting period are (to any extent) assets held by CC for the purposes of CC's long-term business.
10
“
The apportioned profit
” means so much of P% as is attributable to CC having the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, during the CFC's accounting period.
11
Take the following steps to determine the “BLAGAB component” of the apportioned profit.
- Step 1
Assume that the apportioned profit is income falling within section 74(1)(j) of FA 2012 paid to CC at the end of the CFC's accounting period.
- Step 2
Calculate how much of that income would be referable, in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 2 of FA 2012, to CC's basic life assurance and general annuity business. That amount is the “BLAGAB component” of the apportioned profit.
12
The “policyholders' share” of the BLAGAB component of the apportioned profit is equal to the policyholders' share of the I - E profit for the relevant corporation tax accounting period as determined in accordance with the rules contained in Chapter 5 of Part 2 of FA 2012.

Banking companies
371BI
1
In relation to a chargeable company that is a banking company for the relevant corporation tax accounting period, step 5 in section 371BC(1) is to be taken in accordance with subsections (2) to (5).
2
The amount given by paragraph (a) at step 5 is to be increased by an amount equal to—
(P C P − S A S A) × S P
where—
“PCP” is P% of the CFC's chargeable profits;
“
SASA
” is so much (if any) of the chargeable company's available surcharge allowance as the company specifies for the purposes of this subsection in its company tax return for the relevant corporation tax accounting period;
“SP” is the percentage specified in section 269DA(1) of CTA 2010 (surcharge on banking companies).
3
Subsection (5) applies in relation to the chargeable company if—
a
there are arrangements that result in a relevant transfer, and
b
the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to avoid, or reduce, a sum being charged on the chargeable company at step 5 in section 371BC(1) in consequence of subsection (2).
4
There is a “relevant transfer” if there is, in substance—
a
a transfer (directly or indirectly) of all or a significant part of the chargeable profits of the CFC, for the CFC's accounting period, to a non-banking company, or
b
a transfer (directly or indirectly) of a loss or deductible amount to the CFC, for the CFC's accounting period, from a non-banking company, resulting in the elimination or significant reduction of the CFC's chargeable profits for that period.
5
For the purposes of subsection (2), the CFC's chargeable profits are to be taken to be what they would have been had the relevant transfer not taken place.
6
Subsections (7) to (9) apply in relation to an accounting period of a CFC (“the relevant CFC accounting period”) where—
a
a company (“C”)—
i
has an accounting period for corporation tax purposes during which the relevant CFC accounting period ends, and
ii
is a banking company for that accounting period,
b
there are arrangements that—
i
do not result in a relevant transfer, but
ii
disregarding subsections (7) to (9), would result in some or all of the CFC's chargeable profits for the relevant CFC accounting period being apportioned to one or more non-banking companies at step 3 in section 371BC(1) instead of being apportioned to C, and
c
the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to avoid, or reduce, a sum being charged on C at step 5 in section 371BC(1) in consequence of subsection (2) (whether in relation to the relevant CFC accounting period or any other accounting period of the CFC).
7
If the arrangements would otherwise result in C not having a relevant interest in the CFC, C is to be treated as having the relevant interest in the CFC.
8
The CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax for the relevant CFC accounting period are to be apportioned in accordance with section 371QC(2) (and not section 371QD if that section would otherwise apply).
9
The apportionments must (in particular) be made in a way which, so far as practicable, counteracts the result of the arrangements mentioned in subsection (6)(b)(ii).
10
In this section—
- “
arrangements
” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable);
- “
available surcharge allowance
” means available surcharge allowance under section 269DE or (as the case may be) 269DJ of CTA 2010;
- “
banking company
” has the same meaning as in Chapter 4 of Part 7A of CTA 2010 (see section 269DO of that Act);
- “
deductible amount
” means—
  1. an expense of a trade, other than an amount treated as such an expense by section 450(a) of
CAA
2001 (research and development allowances treated as expenses in calculating profits of a trade),
  2. an expense of a
UK
property business or overseas property business,
  3. an expense of management of a company's investment business within the meaning of section 1219 of CTA 2009,
  4. a non-trading debit within the meaning of Parts 5 and 6 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships and relationships treated as such) (see section 301(2) of that Act), or
  5. a non-trading debit within the meaning of Part 8 of CTA 2009 (intangible fixed assets) (see section 746 of that Act);
- “
company tax return
” has the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to FA 1998;
- “
non-banking company
” means a company that, at any time when the arrangements mentioned in subsection (3) or (as the case may be) (6) have effect, is neither—
  1. a banking company, nor
  2. a CFC in relation to which a banking company is a chargeable company.
11
Sections 269DE(6) and 269DJ(5) of CTA 2010 contain restrictions on the amount of available surcharge allowance that can be specified and section 269DK of that Act makes provision about what happens if those restrictions are exceeded.

4
This subsection applies to an arrangement if—
a

The CFC charge gateway: profits attributable to UK activities

Introduction to Chapter
371DA
1
Take the steps set out in section 371DB(1) to determine the CFC's profits falling within this Chapter for the purposes of step 2 in section 371BB(1) (the CFC charge gateway).
2
In this Chapter references to the CFC's assumed total profits are to those profits excluding its non-trading finance profits and property business profits (if any).
3
For the purposes of this Chapter—
a
“
the
OECD
Report
” means the Report on the Attribution of Profits to Permanent Establishments of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“
OECD
”) dated 22 July 2010,
b
terms used which are also used in the
OECD
Report have the same meaning as they have in the
OECD
Report,
c
“
the CFC group
” means the CFC taken together with the companies with which it is connected as those companies may change from time to time,
d
“
the provisional Chapter 4 profits
” has the meaning given at step 7 in section 371DB(1),
e

the relevant assets and risks
” has the meaning given at step 1 in section 371DB(1), subject to any exclusions at step 2 or 6,
f
“
SPF
” means a significant people function or a key entrepreneurial risk-taking function,
g
an SPF is a “
UK
SPF” so far as the SPF is carried out in the United Kingdom—
i
by the CFC, otherwise than through a
UK
permanent establishment, or
ii
by a company connected with the CFC, and
h
an SPF is a “non-UK SPF” so far as it is not a
UK
SPF.
4
The Treasury may by regulations amend this Chapter as they consider appropriate to take account of any relevant document published by
OECD
from time to time.
5
“
Relevant document
” means—
a
a document which replaces, updates or supplements the report mentioned in subsection (3)(a), or
b
a document which replaces, updates or supplements a document falling within paragraph (a) or a document which is a relevant document by virtue of this paragraph.

The steps
371DB
1
Here are the steps referred to in section 371DA(1).
The steps are to be taken in accordance with the principles set out in the
OECD
Report (so far as relevant).
- Step 1
Identify the assets which the CFC has or has had, and the risks which the CFC bears or has borne, and from which amounts included in the CFC's assumed total profits have arisen. The identified assets and risks are called “the relevant assets and risks”
- Step 2
Exclude from the relevant assets and risks any asset or risk to which subsection (2) applies (subject to subsections (3) and (4)).
- Step 3
Identify the SPFs carried out by the CFC group which are relevant to—
  1. the economic ownership of the assets included in the relevant assets and risks, or
  2. the assumption and management of the risks included in the relevant assets and risks.
For this purpose, assume that the CFC group is a single company.
- Step 4
Determine the extent to which the SPFs identified at step 3 are
UK
SPFs and the extent to which they are non-UK SPFs. If none of the SPFs is a
UK
SPF to any extent, then no profits fall within this Chapter and no further steps are to be taken.
- Step 5
Assume that the
UK
SPFs determined at step 4 are carried out by a permanent establishment which the CFC has in the United Kingdom and, accordingly, determine the extent to which the assets and risks included in the relevant assets and risks would be attributed to the permanent establishment. For this purpose, assume that the non-UK SPFs determined at step 4 are all carried out by the CFC itself (if that is not otherwise the case).
- Step 6
Exclude from the relevant assets and risks any asset or risk, or any assets or risks taken together, to which section 371DC applies.
- Step 7
Re-determine the CFC's assumed total profits on the basis that the CFC—
  1. does not hold, or has not held, the assets included in the relevant assets and risks, and
  2. does not bear, or has not borne, the risks included in the relevant assets and risks,
so far as they would be attributed to the permanent establishment mentioned at step 5.“The provisional Chapter 4 profits” are the CFC's assumed total profits so far as they are left out of the re-determined profits.
- Step 8

Chapter 6

The CFC charge gateway: trading finance profits

The basic rule
371FA
1
Take the following steps to determine the CFC's profits falling within this Chapter for the purposes of step 2 in section 371BB(1) (the CFC charge gateway).
This is subject to regulations under section 371FD or 371FE.
- Step 1
Determine if, during the accounting period, the CFC's free capital exceeds what it is reasonable to suppose its free capital would be were it a company which is not the 51% subsidiary of any other company. If there is excess free capital, “the step 1 amount” is—
  1. the excess free capital, or
  2. if less, the CFC's free capital so far as deriving (directly or indirectly) from
UK
connected capital contributions.
- Step 2
This step applies only if the CFC carries on insurance business during the accounting period; if it does not, go straight to step 3. Determine if, during the accounting period when the CFC is carrying on insurance business, the CFC's free assets exceeds what it is reasonable to suppose its free assets would be were it a company which is not the 51% subsidiary of any other company. If there is excess free assets, “the step 2 amount” is—
  1. the excess free assets, or
  2. if less, the CFC's free assets so far as deriving (directly or indirectly) from
UK
connected capital contributions.
- Step 3
If no excesses are determined at steps 1 and 2, no profits fall within this Chapter. Otherwise, the profits falling within this Chapter are the CFC's trading finance profits so far as it is reasonable to suppose that those profits arise from the investment or other use of the step 1 amount or the step 2 amount (or both
2
For the purposes of step 1 in subsection (1) the CFC's “free capital” is the funding it has for its business so far as the funding does not give rise to debits which are brought into account in determining the CFC's non-trading finance profits or trading finance profits.
3
For the purposes of step 2 in subsection (1) the CFC's “free assets” is the amount by which the value of its assets exceeds its loan capital.
4
Subsections (2) and (3) are subject to sections 371FB and 371FC and subsection (3) is also subject to subsection (6).
5
Subsection (6) applies if—
a
the CFC, acting outside its insurance business, gives a guarantee against losses of an insurance business of another company which is connected with the CFC,
b
the guarantee is necessary for the purpose of meeting regulatory requirements applicable to the other company's insurance business,
c
in consequence of having given the guarantee, the CFC is required by regulatory requirements applicable to its insurance business to hold more assets than it would otherwise be required to hold, and
d
during the accounting period, the CFC holds assets solely for the purpose of meeting that requirement for more assets.
6
The value of the assets held by the CFC as mentioned in subsection (5)(d) is to be deducted from the CFC's free assets.
7
For the purposes of this section the “value” of an asset is the amount which it is reasonable to suppose the CFC would obtain for the transfer of all the CFC's rights in respect of the asset from a person not connected with the CFC.

Qualifying loan relationships
371FB
1
Subsection (2) applies if, during the CFC's accounting period, the CFC is the ultimate debtor in relation to a qualifying loan relationship (within the meaning of Chapter 9) of another CFC (“the creditor CFC”).
2
E% of the principal outstanding during the CFC's accounting period on the loan which is the subject of the qualifying loan relationship is to be added to the CFC's free capital or free assets (as the case may be).
3
“E%” is given by the following formula—
(100 % × EP)/P
where—
EP is the total amount of the profits of the qualifying loan relationship which are exempt, and
P is the total amount of the profits of the qualifying loan relationship.
4
For the purposes of subsection (3)—
a
references to the profits of the qualifying loan relationship are to the profits of the qualifying loan relationship for accounting periods of the creditor CFC which fall wholly or partly in the CFC's accounting period,
b
the profits of the qualifying loan relationship for an accounting period of the creditor CFC are to be determined in accordance with Chapter 9,
c
the steps in subsection (5) are to be taken to determine the amount of the profits of the qualifying loan relationship for an accounting period of the creditor CFC which are “exempt”, and
d
the profits of the qualifying loan relationship for an accounting period of the creditor CFC which falls only partly in the CFC's accounting period, and the amount of those profits which are exempt, are to be apportioned between—
i
the part of the creditor CFC's accounting period which falls in the CFC's accounting period, and
ii
the part which does not,
with only those profits, and the amount of exempt profits, apportioned to the part mentioned in sub-paragraph (i) being included in P or EP (as the case may be).
5
Here are the steps referred to in subsection (4)(c).
The steps are to be taken separately in relation to each chargeable company which makes a claim under Chapter 9 in relation to the creditor CFC's accounting period.
The amount of the profits of the qualifying loan relationship for the creditor CFC's accounting period which are exempt is the total of the amounts given by step 2.
- Step 1
Determine the amount of the profits of the qualifying loan relationship for the accounting period which, in the case of the chargeable company, are exempt under Chapter 9.
- Step 2
Multiply the amount determined at step 1 by P% (as defined in section 371BC(3), ignoring sections 371BG(3)(a) and 371BH(3)(b)).

Loans from foreign permanent establishments of UK resident companies

during a relevant accounting period of C which begins on or after 1 January 2013, C has a creditor relationship which, applying the assumptions set out in section 18H(3) of CTA 2009 in relation to C for the relevant accounting period, would be a qualifying loan relationship (within the meaning of Chapter 9 of this Part) of C in relation to which the CFC would be the ultimate debtor,
c
in the application of section 18H(2) of CTA 2009 for the relevant accounting period, C makes a claim under Chapter 9 of this Part (as applied by section 18H(2)), and
d
the relevant accounting period falls wholly or partly in the CFC's accounting period.
2
75% of the principal outstanding during the CFC's accounting period on the loan which is the subject of the qualifying loan relationship is to be added to the CFC's free capital or free assets (as the case may be).
3
Terms used in this section which are defined in section 18A of CTA 2009 have the meaning given by that section.

Subsection (7) applies in relation to an amount if—
a
the CFC is resident in an
EEA
state for the accounting period, and
b
the amount does not arise from the activities of a permanent establishment which the CFC has in a territory which is not an
EEA
state.
7
An amount falls within this subsection so far as it derives (directly or indirectly) from a contract of insurance if—
a
the insured has no significant
UK
non-tax reason for entering into the contract of insurance, or
b
if the contract of insurance is a contract of reinsurance, the original insured has no significant
UK
non-tax reason for entering into the original contract of insurance.

Chapter 8

The CFC charge gateway: solo consolidation

The basic rule
371HA
1
The CFC's profits falling within this Chapter for the purposes of step 2 in section 371BB(1) (the CFC charge gateway) are any amounts included in its assumed total profits which are not also included in the CFC's relevant profits amount.
2
The CFC's “relevant profits amount” is what the relevant profits amount would be for the purposes of Chapter 3A of Part 2 of CTA 2009 (see section 18A(6) of that Act) in relation to the CFC were that amount to be determined as if—
a
the CFC were a permanent establishment in a territory outside the United Kingdom of the
UK
resident company mentioned in section 371CG(2)(b) or the
UK
resident bank mentioned in section 371CG(3), and
b

Chapter 9

Exemptions for profits from qualifying loan relationships

The basic rule
371IA
1
This Chapter applies if—
a
apart from this Chapter, Chapter 5 (non-trading finance profits) would apply for a CFC's accounting period,
b
the CFC's non-trading finance profits include qualifying loan relationship profits, and
c
the business premises condition set out in section 371DG is met.
2
A chargeable company (“company C”) in relation to the accounting period may make a claim to an officer of Revenue and Customs for step 2 in section 371BB(1) (the CFC charge gateway) to be taken, in the case of company C only, subject to this Chapter.
3
If company C makes a claim, in the case of company C only, the CFC's qualifying loan relationship profits pass through the CFC charge gateway so far as (and only so far as) they are not exempt under this Chapter.
4
The CFC's “qualifying loan relationship profits” are
so much of the profits of all its qualifying loan relationships taken together as are non-trading finance profits which—
a
fall within section 371EC (capital investment from the UK), and
b
do not fall within section 371EB (UK activities).
5
The extent to which those profits are “exempt” is to be determined—
a
firstly, by applying either section 371IB or section 371ID to each of the CFC's qualifying loan relationships, and
b
secondly, by applying section 371IE (if relevant).
6
Section 371IF sets out how to determine the profits of a qualifying loan relationship.
7
Sections 371IG to 371II define “qualifying loan relationship”
etc.
8
Section 371IJ contains provision about claims under this Chapter.
9
In this Chapter references to the CFC's non-trading finance profits are to those profits excluding any profits—
a
falling within section 371CB(3) or (4) or Chapter 8 (solo consolidation), or
b
arising from a relevant finance lease.
10
In this Chapter—
a
“
loan relationship
” has the meaning given by section 302(1) of CTA 2009 (and does not include anything which, although not falling within section 302(1), is treated for any purpose as if it were a loan relationship), and
b
other terms used which are defined in Part 5 of CTA 2009 are to be read accordingly.
11
See section 371CB(8) which deals with the interaction between this Chapter and section 371CB and Chapter 5 in the case of a chargeable company which makes a claim under this Chapter.

that, at all times during the relevant period, at least X% of the principal outstanding on the relevant loan (as that may vary from time to time during the relevant period) is funded by the CFC wholly out of qualifying resources, and
b
that the ultimate debtor in relation to the qualifying loan relationship (see section 371IG(2) to (7)) is resident at all times during the relevant period in one territory only and that its territory of residence does not change at any time during the relevant period.

c
an issue of shares which meets the following requirements—

9B
This subsection applies to a loan if the member repays it within 48 hours of the loan being made.
9C
But subsection (9B) does not apply to a loan if the repayment of the loan within the 48 hours occurs under, or is connected (directly or indirectly) with, an arrangement the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to ensure that subsection (9) does not apply because of—
a
the loan, or
b
any other debt which a member of the CFC group incurs (or is expected to incur) in the United Kingdom.
9D
This subsection applies to a loan if—
a
there is an issue of shares which meets the requirements of subsection (7)(c)(i) to (iii),
b
the loan was made before the issue of shares but with the expectation that it would be repaid by the member out of funds deriving (directly or indirectly) from the issue of shares,
c

f
section 931U of CTA 2009 (definitions of “ordinary share” and “redeemable”) applies as it applies for the purposes of Part 9A of CTA 2009 (company distributions).
11
If the CFC is controlled by one
UK
resident company only (“the controller”), in relation to any time before the CFC came to be controlled by the controller, except in subsection (6), references to the CFC group include references to the controller taken together with any companies with which it is connected at that time.
12
If the CFC is controlled by two or more
UK
resident companies which are all connected with each other (“the controllers”), in relation to any time—
a
before which the CFC came to be controlled by the controllers, and
b
at which the controllers (or those of the controllers which exist at that time) are all connected with each other,
except in subsection (6), references to the CFC group include references to the controllers (or those of the controllers which exist) taken together with any other companies with which they are all connected at that time.

What is the “qualifying value” of “relevant pre-acquisition funds or other assets”?
371IC
1
This section applies for the purposes of section 371IB(7)(b).
2
It applies if—
a
a member of the CFC group acquires shares in a company (“the target company”) from persons who are not members of that group (“the unconnected persons”),
b
in consideration for the acquisition of the shares, a member of the CFC group (“the parent member”) which is not the 51% subsidiary of any company issues shares to the unconnected persons, and
c
the value of the consideration given for the acquisition of the shares by the parent member and any other members of the CFC group represents wholly or partly the value or a part of the value of any funds or other assets held by the target company.
3
Those funds or other assets are “relevant pre-acquisition funds or other assets” and, subject to what follows, their value or the part of their value represented by the value of the consideration is their “qualifying value”.
4
The qualifying value is to be reduced by Y% if one or both of the following paragraphs applies—
a
the issue of shares by the parent member to the unconnected persons represents only part of the consideration given for the acquisition of the shares in the target company;
b
in connection with the acquisition of the shares in the target company, an extraordinary distribution is made to persons holding shares in the parent member.
5
“Y%” is given by the following formula—
(100 % × B)/(A + B)
where—
A is the value of the consideration which is in the form of the issue of shares by the parent member to the unconnected persons, and
B is, as the case may be—
1. the value of the consideration which is not in the form of the issue of shares by the parent member to the unconnected persons,
2. the value of the extraordinary distribution, or
3. the total of the values given by paragraphs (a) and (b).

The 75% exemption
371ID
1
This section applies to a qualifying loan relationship if section 371IB does not apply to the qualifying loan relationship.
2
75% of the profits of the qualifying loan relationship are exempt.

The “matched interest profits” exemption
371IE
1
This section applies if—
a
there are profits of qualifying loan relationships which are not exempt after sections 371IB and 371ID have been applied to each qualifying loan relationship,
b
the relevant corporation tax accounting period (as defined in section 371BC(3)) of company C is a relevant accounting period of it in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group,
c
the CFC's accounting period ends in that period of account, and
d
apart from this section, the profits mentioned in paragraph (a) would be included in the chargeable profits of the CFC.
2
In this section “
the matched interest profits
” means so much of the profits mentioned in subsection (1)(a) as remain after excluded credits and excluded debits are left out of account.
3
If the aggregate net tax-interest expense of the group for the period is nil, all of the matched interest profits are exempt.
4
Otherwise, there is a more limited exemption if the relevant proportion of the matched interest profits apportioned to C or other relevant chargeable companies exceeds the aggregate net tax-interest expense of the group for the period.
5
For the purposes of this section “the relevant proportion of the matched interest profits apportioned to C or other relevant chargeable companies” is determined as follows.
- Step 1
For each relevant chargeable company (including C) determine the percentage (P%) of the CFC's chargeable profits that are apportioned to the company under step 5 of section 371BC(1).
- Step 2
For each relevant chargeable company (including C) multiply P% by the matched interest profits.
- Step 3
The sum of the amounts for each company found under step 2 is “the relevant proportion of the matched interest profits apportioned to C or other relevant chargeable companies”.
6
For the purposes of this section a company is a relevant chargeable company if the relevant corporation tax accounting period of the company is a relevant accounting period in relation to the period of account of the group.
7
The limited exemption is given effect by treating the matched interest profits as equal to the amount found by multiplying the amount that they would otherwise be by—
E/RPMIP
where—
E is the amount of the excess mentioned in subsection (4), and
RPMIP is the relevant proportion of the matched interest profits apportioned to C or other relevant chargeable companies.
8
For the purposes of this section the aggregate net tax-interest expense of a worldwide group for a period of account is determined in accordance with Part 10 (corporate interest restriction) but without regard to debits, credits or other amounts arising from—
a
banking business carried on by a company within the charge to corporation tax, or
b
insurance business carried on by a company within the charge to corporation tax.
9
For the purposes of this section—
- “
excluded credit
” has the meaning given by section 386(3),
- “
excluded debit
” has the meaning given by section 383(3), and
- “
period of account
”, “
relevant accounting period
” and “
worldwide group
” have the same meanings as in Part 10.

Determining the profits of a qualifying loan relationship
371IF
Take the following steps to determine the profits of a qualifying loan relationship for the purposes of this Chapter.
- Step 1
Determine the credits from the qualifying loan relationship which are brought into account in determining the CFC's non-trading finance profits. The result is “the step 1 credits”.
- Step 2
Determine the credits and debits which are brought into account in determining the CFC's non-trading finance profits so far as they—
  1. are from any derivative contract or other arrangement (other than a qualifying loan relationship) entered into by the CFC as a hedge of risk in connection with the qualifying loan relationship, and
  2. are attributable to the hedge of risk.
If the credits exceed the debits add the excess to the step 1 credits and if the debits exceed the credits subtract the deficit from the step 1 credits. The result is “the step 2 credits”.
- Step 3
Allocate to the qualifying loan relationship a just and reasonable proportion of the credits from the CFC's relevant debtor relationships which are brought into account in determining the CFC's non-trading finance profits (so far as not reflected in the step 2 credits). Add the credits to the step 2 credits. The result is “the step 3 credits”. A debtor relationship of the CFC is “relevant” if the loan which is the subject of it is used by the CFC to fund the loan which is the subject of the qualifying loan relationship
- Step 4
Allocate to the qualifying loan relationship a just and reasonable proportion of the credits and debits which are brought into account in determining the CFC's non-trading finance profits so far as they—
  1. are from any derivative contract or other arrangement (other than a qualifying loan relationship or a relevant debtor relationship) entered into by the CFC as a hedge of risk in connection with a relevant debtor relationship, and
  2. are attributable to the hedge of risk.
If the credits exceed the debits add the excess to the step 3 credits and if the debits exceed the credits subtract the deficit from the step 3 credits. The result is “the step 4 credits”.
- Step 5
Allocate to the qualifying loan relationship a just and reasonable proportion of—
  1. the debits from the CFC's loan relationships which are brought into account in determining the CFC's non-trading finance profits (so far as not reflected in the step 4 credits), and
  2. any amounts set off under Chapter 16
or Chapter 16A
of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (non-trading deficits) against amounts which, apart from the set off, would be included in the CFC's non-trading finance profits.
Reduce the step 4 credits accordingly to give the profits of the qualifying loan relationship.

What is a “qualifying loan relationship”?
371IG
1
In this Chapter “
qualifying loan relationship
” means a creditor relationship of the CFC—
a
the ultimate debtor in relation to which is a qualifying company, and
b
which is not prevented from being a qualifying loan relationship by section 371IH.
2
In this Chapter “
the ultimate debtor
”, in relation to a creditor relationship of the CFC, means the debtor in relation to the creditor relationship.
This is subject to what follows.
3
Subsection (4) or (5) (as the case may be) applies if—
a
there is a loan (“loan A”) which is the subject of a creditor relationship of the CFC,
b
loan A, or a part of loan A, is made and used to fund (directly or indirectly) another loan (“loan B”) to a person (“P”), and
c
loan B, or a part of loan B, is not made and used to fund (directly or indirectly) a further loan to any person.
4
If all of loan A is made and used to fund (directly or indirectly) loan B, the ultimate debtor in relation to the CFC's creditor relationship mentioned in subsection (3)(a) is P.
5
If only part of loan A is made and used to fund (directly or indirectly) loan B—
a
that part of loan A is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as a separate loan giving rise to a separate creditor relationship of the CFC, and
b
the ultimate debtor in relation to that separate creditor relationship is P.
6
If the requirement of subsection (3)(c) is met in relation to a part of loan B only, in subsections (4) and (5) references to loan B are to be read as references to that part of loan B only.
7
But neither subsection (4) nor subsection (5) applies if—
a
the debtor (“D”) in relation to the CFC's creditor relationship is a qualifying company the main business of which is banking business or insurance business,
b
the use of loan A, or the part of loan A, as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) occurs in the ordinary course of D's banking business or insurance business (as the case may be), and
c
P is not a
UK
resident qualifying company.
8
In this section “
qualifying company
” means a company which—
a
is connected with the CFC, and
b
is controlled by the
UK
resident person or persons who control the CFC.

b
as a result of that, the CFC charge is not being charged in relation to the other CFC's accounting periods or any sums charged are less than what they would otherwise have been.

Chapter 10

The exempt period exemption

Introduction to Chapter
371JA
1
This Chapter sets out an exemption called “
the exempt period exemption
” for the purposes of section 371BA(2)(b).
2
Section 371JE also provides for adjustments of profits which would otherwise pass through the CFC charge gateway (see section 371BB(2)(b)) linked to the exempt period exemption.

The basic rule
371JB
1
The exempt period exemption applies for a CFC's accounting period if—
a
the accounting period ends during an exempt period of the CFC (see sections 371JC and 371JD),
b
the subsequent period condition is met, and
c
the chargeable company condition is met.
2
The subsequent period condition is met if—
a
the CFC does not cease to be a CFC before having at least one accounting period which begins after the end of the exempt period, and
b
section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) does not apply in relation to the CFC's first accounting period to begin after the end of the exempt period (see section 371BA(2)).
3
The chargeable company condition is met if, at all times during the relevant period—
a
the charging condition in section 371JC is met, and
b
each company which would be a chargeable company for the purposes of that condition is an original chargeable company or is connected with an original chargeable company.
4
In subsection (3)—
- “
original chargeable company
” means a company which, for the purposes of the charging condition in section 371JC, would be a chargeable company at the beginning of the exempt period, and
- “
the relevant period
” means the period which—
  1. begins immediately after the beginning of the exempt period, and
  2. ends at the end of the CFC's first accounting period to begin after the end of the exempt period.
5
This section is subject to section 371JF (anti-avoidance).

When does an exempt period begin?
371JC
1
An exempt period of a CFC begins at any time (“
the relevant time
”) during an accounting period of the CFC if—
a
the initial condition is met,
b
the charging condition is met at the relevant time, and
c
at no time during the relevant preceding period (if there is one) is the charging condition met.
2
The initial condition is met if—
a
immediately before the relevant time, the company (“C”) which is the CFC is carrying on a business, or
b
if the relevant time is the time at which C is incorporated or formed, C is incorporated or formed by one or more persons for the purpose of controlling one or more companies in circumstances where it is expected that an exempt period will begin in relation to one or more of those companies when C begins to control the company or companies.
3
To determine if the charging condition is met at any time, assume—
a
that the company which is the CFC is a CFC at the time in question if that is not otherwise the case,
b
that the time in question is itself an accounting period of the CFC, and
c
that section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) applies in relation to the assumed accounting period.
4
The charging condition is met at the time in question if, as a result of steps 1, 3 and 4 in section 371BC(1), there would be one or more chargeable companies in relation to the assumed accounting period.
5
“
The relevant preceding period
” means the period of 12 months ending immediately before the relevant time, excluding any part of that period during which the company which is the CFC does not exist.

How long is an exempt period?
371JD
1
Subject to what follows, an exempt period of a CFC lasts 12 months.
2
Subsection (3) applies if a notice is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs requesting that the length of an exempt period of a CFC be extended (or further extended).
3
An officer of Revenue and Customs may extend (or further extend) the length of the exempt period.
4
A notice under subsection (2) must be given no later than the end of the exempt period (as it stands at the time the notice is given).
5
A notice under subsection (2) may be given only by a company which, at the time the notice is given, would be a chargeable company for the purposes of the charging condition in section 371JC.

Adjustment of profits passing through the CFC charge gateway
371JE
1
This section applies for a CFC's accounting period if—
a
the accounting period begins, but does not end, during an exempt period of the CFC, and
b
the subsequent period condition and the chargeable company condition in section 371JB are both met.
2
The CFC's assumed total profits which would otherwise pass through the CFC charge gateway are to be adjusted to ensure that no profits which arise in the exempt period, as determined on a just and reasonable basis, pass through the CFC charge gateway.
3
This section is subject to section 371JF (anti-avoidance).

Anti-avoidance
371JF

Chapter 11

The excluded territories exemption

Introduction to Chapter
371KA
This Chapter sets out an exemption called “
the excluded territories exemption
” for the purposes of section 371BA(2)(b).

The basic rule
371KB
1
The excluded territories exemption applies for a CFC's accounting period if—
a
the CFC is resident (see section 371KC) in an excluded territory for the accounting period,
b
the total of the following amounts is no more than the threshold amount for the accounting period (see section 371KD)—
i
the CFC's category A income (if any) for the accounting period (see sections 371KE and 371KF),
ii
the CFC's category B income (if any) for the accounting period (see section 371KG),
iii
the CFC's category C income (if any) for the accounting period (see section 371KH), and
iv
the CFC's category D income (if any) for the accounting period (see section 371KI),
c
the IP condition is met (see section 371KJ), and
d
the CFC is not, at any time during the accounting period, involved in an arrangement the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to obtain a tax advantage for any person.
2
In this Chapter “
excluded territory
” means a territory specified as such in regulations made by the
HMRC
Commissioners.
3
The
HMRC
Commissioners may also by regulations, in relation to CFCs resident in a specified excluded territory or to other specified cases, do one or more of the following—
a
provide that one or both of the requirements set out in subsection (1)(b) and (c) does not have to be met in order for the excluded territories exemption to apply;
b
modify one or both of those requirements, including by modifying any provision of this Chapter mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or (c);
c
specify further requirements which must be met in order for the excluded territories exemption to apply.
4
If an amount is included in more than one of the categories of income mentioned in subsection (1)(b)(i) to (iv), the amount is to be counted only once in determining if the threshold amount is exceeded.

How to determine the territory in which a CFC is resident
371KC
1
For the purposes of this Chapter the territory in which a CFC is resident for an accounting period is to be determined in accordance with this section; and in this Chapter “
the CFC's territory
” means that territory as so determined.
2
The CFC is taken to be resident in the territory determined in accordance with section 371TA.
3
But section 371TA(1)(b) is to be applied only if, at all times during the accounting period, the CFC or persons with interests in the CFC are liable under the law of the territory in question to tax on the CFC's income.
4
If, as a result of subsection (3), no territory of residence can be determined, the excluded territories exemption cannot apply for the accounting period.

What is “the threshold amount”?
371KD
1
The threshold amount for a CFC's accounting period is—
a
10% of the CFC's accounting profits for the accounting period, or
b
if more, £50,000.
2
If the accounting period is less than 12 months, the amount specified in subsection (1)(b) is to be reduced proportionately.
3
In this Chapter references to a CFC's accounting profits for an accounting period are to be read ignoring section 371VD(7) and (8).

Category A income: the basic rule
371KE
1
A CFC's category A income for an accounting period consists of any gross amounts (that is, amounts before deduction of expenses or transfers to or from reserves) of any relevant income to which subsection (3), (4) or (5) applies. This is subject to section 371KF.
2
“
Relevant income
” means any income of the CFC which—
a
is brought into account in determining the CFC's accounting profits for the accounting period, or
b
is not so brought into account but arises in the accounting period.
3
This subsection applies to any relevant income (apart from any dividend or other distribution of a company) so far as it is exempt from tax in the CFC's territory.
4
This subsection applies to any relevant income so far as the tax which falls to be paid in respect of the relevant income in the CFC's territory is at a reduced rate by virtue of a provision having effect under the law of that territory the purpose of which is (wholly or mainly) to encourage (directly or indirectly) investment in that territory.
5
This subsection applies to any relevant income if—
a
any tax falls to be paid in respect of the relevant income in the CFC's territory,
b
under the law of that territory, the CFC, any person who has an interest in the CFC or any person connected with the CFC is entitled to any repayment of tax or any payment in respect of a credit for tax, and
c
that repayment or payment—
i
is directly or indirectly in respect of the whole or part of the tax mentioned in paragraph (a), but
ii
is not a form of relief in respect of losses incurred by the CFC.

Category A income: permanent establishments in excluded territories
371KF
1
This section applies if—
a
a CFC's category A income for an accounting period would include (apart from this section) the gross amount of any relevant income which arises from the activities of a permanent establishment (“PE”) which the CFC has in a territory outside the CFC's territory, and
b
the territory in which PE is established is an excluded territory.
2
The gross amount of that relevant income is to be included in the CFC's category A income only so far as it would also have been included had the references in section 371KE(3) to (5) to the CFC's territory instead been references to the territory in which PE is established.

Category B income
371KG
1
A CFC's category B income for an accounting period consists of any notional interest which—
a
is deducted from any of the CFC's relevant income for tax purposes under the law of the CFC's territory or any territory in which the CFC has a permanent establishment, but
b
is not deducted in determining the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period.
2
But the CFC's category B income is not to exceed its relevant non-local income.
3
“
Notional interest
” means an amount representing a notional interest expense or other financing charge calculated by reference to any of the CFC's equity or debt.
4
“
Relevant income
” has the same meaning as in section 371KE.
5
“
Relevant non-local income
” means the gross amount (that is, the amount before deduction of expenses or transfers to or from reserves) of any non-trading income—
a
which is included in the CFC's relevant income, and
b
which is received (directly or indirectly) from—
i
a person resident outside the CFC's territory, or
ii
a permanent establishment which a person resident in the CFC's territory (apart from the CFC itself) has in a territory outside the CFC's territory.

Category C income
371KH
A CFC's category C income for an accounting period is the total of the following amounts—
a
amounts included in the CFC's accounting profits for the period which fall within section 371VD(4)(a) (whether or not those amounts would have been included in those profits apart from section 371VD(4)(a)), and
b
amounts included in those profits by virtue only of section 371VD(4)(b).

Category D income
371KI
1
A CFC's category D income for an accounting period consists of the gross amounts (that is, the amounts before deduction of expenses or transfers to or from reserves) of any income which—
a
is brought into account in determining the CFC's accounting profits for the accounting period, and
b
is to be included in the CFC's category D income in accordance with subsection (3) or (4).
2
Subsection (3) applies if—
a
income arises from any provision made or imposed by means of an arrangement as between the CFC and any company connected with the CFC,
b
in the CFC's territory, the income is reduced by an amount (“
the relevant amount
”) for tax purposes on the basis that the income is more than what it would have been had the company connected with the CFC not been connected with the CFC, and
c
there is not in any territory a corresponding increase for tax purposes in the income of a company connected with the CFC.
3
The relevant amount is to be included in the CFC's category D income.
4
Income is to be included in the CFC's category D income so far as the tax which falls to be paid in respect of the income in the CFC's territory is at a reduced rate by virtue of a ruling or other decision or an arrangement made in relation to the CFC by a governmental authority in that territory.

The IP condition
371KJ
1
This section applies for the purposes of section 371KB(1)(c).
2
The IP condition is met unless—
a
the CFC's assumed total profits for the accounting period include amounts arising from intellectual property held by the CFC (“the exploited IP”),
b
all or parts of the exploited IP were—
i
transferred (directly or indirectly) to the CFC by persons related to the CFC at times during the relevant period, or
ii
otherwise derived (directly or indirectly) at times during that period out of or from intellectual property held at times during that period by persons related to the CFC,
c
as a result of those transfers or other derivations, the value of the intellectual property held by those persons related to the CFC, taken together, has been significantly reduced from what it would otherwise have been, and
d
if only parts of the exploited IP were so transferred or derived, the significance condition is met.
3
The significance condition is met if—
a
the parts of the exploited IP (“the
UK
derived IP”) which were transferred or otherwise derived as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) are, taken together, a significant part of the exploited IP, or
b
as a result of the transfers or other derivations of the
UK
derived IP, the CFC's assumed total profits for the accounting period are significantly higher than what they would otherwise have been.
4
In relation to a non-UK resident person who is related to the CFC, in this section references to the transfer or holding of intellectual property by a person related to the CFC are limited to, as the case may be—
a
the transfer of intellectual property which before the transfer was held by the non-UK resident person (wholly or partly) for the purposes of a permanent establishment which the person has in the United Kingdom, or
b
the holding of intellectual property by the non-UK resident person (wholly or partly) for those purposes.
5
“
The relevant period
” means the period covering the accounting period and the 6 years before the accounting period.

Anti-avoidance
371LC
1
The low profits exemption does not apply for a CFC's accounting period (“
the relevant accounting period
”) if condition A or B is met.
2
Condition A is that—
a
an arrangement is entered into at any time,
b
in consequence of the arrangement, the low profits exemption would (apart from this section) apply for the relevant accounting period, and
c
the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangement is to secure that the low profits exemption applies—

ii
for that period and one or more other accounting periods of the CFC.
3
Condition B is that, at any time during the relevant accounting period, the CFC's business is, wholly or mainly, the provision of
UK
intermediary services.
4

a
UK
resident individual (“the service provider”) personally performs, or is under an obligation personally to perform, services in the United Kingdom for a person (“
the client
”), and
b
the services are provided not under a contract directly between the service provider and the client but under an arrangement involving the CFC.

Chapter 13

The low profit margin exemption

Introduction to Chapter
371MA
This Chapter sets out an exemption called “
the low profit margin exemption
” for the purposes of section 371BA(2)(b).

The basic rule
371MB
1
The low profit margin exemption applies for a CFC's accounting period if the CFC's accounting profits for the period are no more than 10% of the CFC's relevant operating expenditure.
2
In this section references to the CFC's accounting profits are to those profits as determined before any deduction for interest.
3
The CFC's “relevant operating expenditure” is its operating expenditure brought into account in determining its accounting profits for the accounting period, excluding—
a
the cost of goods purchased by the CFC, other than goods used by the CFC in the territory in which it is resident for the accounting period, and
b
any expenditure which gives rise, directly or indirectly, to income of a person related to the CFC.

i
for the relevant accounting period, or
ii
for that period and one or more other accounting periods of the CFC.
Chapter 14

The tax exemption

Introduction to Chapter
371NA
This Chapter sets out an exemption called “
the tax exemption
” for the purposes of section 371BA(2)(b).

The basic rule
371NB
1
Take the following steps to determine if the tax exemption applies for a CFC's accounting period.
- Step 1
Applying section 371TB, determine the territory (“the CFC's territory”) in which the CFC is resident for the accounting period. If no territory of residence can be determined by applying section 371TB, the tax exemption cannot apply and no further steps are to be taken.
- Step 2
Determine the amount of tax (“the local tax amount”) which is paid in the CFC's territory in respect of the CFC's local chargeable profits arising in the accounting period (applying section 371NC so far as relevant). If the local tax amount is determined under designer rate tax provisions (see section 371ND), the tax exemption cannot apply and step 3 is not to be taken.
- Step 3
In accordance with section 371NE, determine the amount of the corresponding
UK
tax for the accounting period. The tax exemption applies if the local tax amount is at least 75% of the corresponding
UK
tax.
2
Subsection (3) applies if an amount of tax is paid in the CFC's territory by a person (whether or not the CFC) in respect of any of the CFC's local chargeable profits arising in the accounting period taken together with other amounts.
3
For the purposes of step 2 in subsection (1) the amount of tax is to be apportioned between the CFC's local chargeable profits in question and the other amounts on a just and reasonable basis.
4
In this Chapter references to the CFC's local chargeable profits are to its profits as determined for tax purposes under the law of the CFC's territory, ignoring any capital gains or losses.

Reductions to “the local tax amount”
371NC
1
This section applies for the purposes of step 2 in section 371NB(1).
2
The local tax amount is to be reduced to what it would have been—
a
had any income, or any income and expenditure (where the income exceeds the expenditure), to which subsection (3) applies not been brought into account in determining the CFC's local chargeable profits arising in the accounting period in respect of which tax is paid in the CFC's territory, and
b
had any expenditure to which subsection (4) applies been brought into account in determining those profits.
3
This subsection applies to any income, or any income and expenditure, of the CFC—
a
which is brought into account in determining the CFC's local chargeable profits arising in the accounting period in respect of which tax is paid in the CFC's territory, but
b
which does not fall to be brought into account in determining the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period.
4
This subsection applies to any expenditure of the CFC—
a
which is not brought into account in determining the CFC's local chargeable profits arising in the accounting period in respect of which tax is paid in the CFC's territory, but
b
which does fall to be brought into account in determining the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period.
5
Subsection (6) applies if—
a
in the CFC's territory any tax falls to be paid in respect of the CFC's local chargeable profits arising in the accounting period,
b
under the law of that territory, any repayment of tax, or any payment in respect of a credit for tax, is made to any person, and
c
that repayment or payment is directly or indirectly in respect of the whole or part of the tax mentioned in paragraph (a).
6
The local tax amount is to be reduced (or further reduced after any reduction under subsection (2)) by the amount of that repayment or payment.

What are “designer rate tax provisions”?
371ND
1
For the purposes of step 2 in section 371NB(1) “
designer rate tax provisions
” means provisions—
a
which appear to the
HMRC
Commissioners to be designed to enable companies to exercise significant control over the amount of tax which they pay, and
b
which are specified in regulations made by the
HMRC
Commissioners.
2
Regulations under subsection (1) may make different provision for different cases or with respect to different territories.

How to determine “the corresponding UK tax”
371NE
1
For the purposes of step 3 in section 371NB(1) “the corresponding
UK
tax” is the amount of corporation tax which, applying the corporation tax assumptions, would be charged in respect of the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period.
2
In determining that amount of corporation tax—
a
ignore any relief from corporation tax attributable to the local tax amount which would be given to the CFC by virtue of Part 2 (double taxation relief) in respect of any income, and
b
deduct from what would otherwise be that amount of corporation tax—
i
any amount which, applying the corporation tax assumptions, would be set off against corporation tax on the CFC's assumed taxable total profits by virtue of section 967 of CTA 2010 (cases in which a company receives a payment bearing income tax), and
ii
any amount of income tax or corporation tax actually charged in respect of any income included in the CFC's assumed taxable total profits.
3
In subsection (2)(b) the references to an amount being set off or an amount actually charged do not include so much of any such amount as has been or falls to be repaid to the CFC whether on the making of a claim or otherwise.
Chapter 15

Relevant interests in a CFC

Introduction

Application of Chapter
371OA
This Chapter applies for the purpose of determining the persons who have “relevant interests” in a CFC for the purposes of step 1 in section 371BC(1).

Provision about interpretation
371OB
1
This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.
2
A person's interest in a company is an “indirect” interest so far as the person has the interest by virtue of having an interest in another company; and references to a “direct” interest in a company are to be read accordingly.
3
An interest held by an open-ended investment company within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 13 of CTA 2010 (see sections 613 and 615) is treated as held by the company's shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings.
4
An interest held by the trustees of an authorised unit trust is treated as held by the persons who have rights under the trust in proportion to their rights.
5
An interest held by a bare trustee or nominee (including by virtue of subsection (3) or (4)) is treated as held by the person or persons for whom the bare trustee or nominee holds the interest.
6
“
Bare trustee
” means a person acting as trustee for—
a
a person absolutely entitled as against the trustee,
b
two or more persons who are so entitled,
c
a person who would be so entitled but for being a minor or otherwise lacking legal capacity, or
d
two or more persons who would be so entitled but for all or any of them being a minor or otherwise lacking legal capacity.
7
Subsection (8) applies in a case not covered by subsection (5) if—
a
an interest is held in a fiduciary or representative capacity (including by virtue of subsection (3) or (4)), and
b
there are one or more identifiable beneficiaries.
8
The interest is taken to be held by that beneficiary or, as the case may be, apportioned between those beneficiaries on a just and reasonable basis.

What is a “relevant interest” in a CFC?

“Relevant interests” of UK resident companies
371OC
1
A
UK
resident company's interest in a CFC is a “relevant interest”, except so far as subsection (2) applies to it.
2
This subsection applies to the interest so far as it is an indirect interest which the
UK
resident company has by virtue of having an interest in another
UK
resident company.

“Relevant interests” of persons related to UK resident companies
371OD
1
This section applies if, by virtue of section 371OC, a
UK
resident company (“UKRC”) has a relevant interest in a CFC.
2

b
any amount of relevant income tax which, applying the corporation tax assumptions, would be set off against corporation tax on the CFC's chargeable profits for the accounting period by virtue of section 967 of CTA 2010 (cases in which a company receives a payment bearing income tax),
c
any amount of income tax or corporation tax actually charged in respect of any income included or represented in the CFC's chargeable profits for the accounting period, and

Chapter 17

Apportionment of a CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax

Introduction

Application of Chapter
371QA
This Chapter applies for the purpose of apportioning a CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax for an accounting period among the relevant persons as required by step 3 in section 371BC(1).

Provision about interpretation
371QB
1
This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.
2
Section 371OB applies as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 15.
3
“
Ordinary shares
”, in relation to any company, means shares of a single class, however described, which is the only class of share issued by the company.
4
For the purposes of subsection (3)—
a
“
share
” includes a fraction of a share, and
b
shares issued by a company which are paid up to different amounts are not to be taken to be of a single class.
5
A person (“P”) holds ordinary shares in the CFC “indirectly” if P directly holds ordinary shares in a company which is share-linked to the CFC.
6
A company is “share-linked” to the CFC if it has an interest in the CFC only by virtue of it holding directly—
a
ordinary shares in the CFC, or
b
ordinary shares in another company which is share-linked to the CFC (whether by virtue of paragraph (a) or this paragraph),
and “
share-linked company
” means a company which is share-linked to the CFC.

How are the apportionments to be made?

The basic rules
371QC
1
If conditions X to Z are met, the CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax are to be apportioned among the relevant persons in accordance with section 371QD.
2
If not, the percentage of the chargeable profits and the percentage of the creditable tax to be apportioned to each relevant person is to be determined on a just and reasonable basis.
3
Condition X is that the relevant persons all have their relevant interests by virtue only of their holding, directly or indirectly, ordinary shares in the CFC.
4
Condition Y is that each relevant person meets the requirement that the person is either—
a
UK
resident at all times during the accounting period, or
b
non-UK resident at all times during the accounting period.
5
Condition Z is that no company which has an intermediate interest in the CFC at any time in the accounting period has that interest otherwise than by virtue of holding, directly or indirectly, ordinary shares in the CFC.
6
A company (“C”) has an “intermediate interest” in the CFC if—
a
C has an interest in the CFC, and
b
one or more of the relevant persons have relevant interests in the CFC by virtue of having an interest in C.

Apportionments to be made in proportion to shareholding
371QD
1
If conditions X to Z in section 371QC are met, apply subsections (2) and (3) to each relevant person.
2
Determine the percentage (“P%”) of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC represented by the relevant person's relevant interest.
3
P% of the CFC's chargeable profits and P% of the CFC's creditable tax is then apportioned to the relevant person.
4
This section is supplemented by sections 371QE and 371QF.

Indirect shareholdings
371QE
1
This section applies to the relevant interest of a relevant person (“R”) so far as R has that interest by virtue of holding, indirectly, ordinary shares in the CFC (“the relevant shares”).
2
The percentage of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC represented by R's relevant interest (so far as this section applies to it) is given by the following formula—
P × S
where—
P is the product of the appropriate fractions of R and each of the share-linked companies through which R indirectly holds the relevant shares, other than the share-linked company which directly holds the relevant shares, and
S is the percentage of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC which the relevant shares represent.
3
“
The appropriate fraction
”, in relation to any person who directly holds ordinary shares in a share-linked company, means that fraction of the issued ordinary shares in the share-linked company which the holding represents.
4
If R has different indirect holdings of shares in the CFC (as in the case where different shares are held through different share-linked companies)—
a
apply subsection (2) separately in relation to each holding (reading references to the relevant shares accordingly), and
b
then add the separate results together to give the total percentage of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC represented by R's relevant interest (so far as this section applies to it).

Variable shareholdings
371QF
1
This section applies if the percentage of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC represented by a relevant person's relevant interest varies during the accounting period.
2
That percentage is taken to be the percentage equal to the sum of the relevant percentages for each holding period.
3
“
Holding period
” means a part of the accounting period during which the percentage of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC represented by the relevant person's relevant interest remains the same.
4
“
Relevant percentage
”, in relation to a holding period, means the percentage given by the following formula—
(P × H)/A
where—
P is the percentage of the issued ordinary shares in the CFC represented by the relevant person's relevant interest during the holding period,
H is the number of days in the holding period, and
A is the number of days in the accounting period.

Anti-avoidance
371QG
1
This section applies in relation to an accounting period (“
the relevant accounting period
”) of a CFC if—
a
at any time an arrangement is entered into, and
b
the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangement is to obtain for any person a tax advantage within section 1139(2)(da) of CTA 2010 in relation to—
i
the relevant accounting period, or
ii
that period and one or more other accounting periods of the CFC.
2
The CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax for the relevant accounting period are to be apportioned in accordance with section 371QC(2) (and not section 371QD if that section would otherwise apply).
3
The apportionments must (in particular) be made in a way which, so far as practicable, counteracts the effects of the arrangement mentioned in subsection (1)(a) so far as those effects are referable to the purpose mentioned in subsection (1)(b).
Chapter 18

c
in determining for the purposes of paragraph (c) the percentage of C's assets which it is reasonable to suppose P would receive, ignore any rights of a relevant bank which would entitle the bank directly to receive a percentage of C's assets at the time of the winding-up or other circumstances.

a
in accordance with section 371RB(7), two persons (“the controllers”) control C, and
b
one of the controllers is
UK
resident and the other is non-UK resident.
2
If conditions X and Y are met, C is to be taken to be a CFC (if C would not otherwise be).
3
Condition X is that the
UK
resident controller has interests, rights and powers representing at least 40% of the holdings, rights and powers in respect of which the controllers fall to be taken as controlling C.
4
Condition Y is that the non-UK resident controller has interests, rights and powers representing—
a
at least 40%, but
b
no more than 55%,
of the holdings, rights and powers in respect of which the controllers fall to be taken as controlling C.

Legal and economic control: supplementary provision
371RD

rights and powers which the person (“P”) is entitled to acquire at a future date or which P will, at a future date, become entitled to acquire,
b
rights and powers of other persons so far as they fall within subsection (4),
c
if P is
UK
resident, rights and powers of any
UK
resident person who is connected with P, and
d
if P is

UK
resident person (“Q”) who is connected with P if Q were P (including rights and powers which would be attributed to Q by virtue of this paragraph).
4
Rights and powers fall within this subsection so far as they—
a
are required, or may be required, to be exercised in one or more of the following ways—
i
on behalf of P,

Control determined by reference to accounting standards
371RE
1
A person (“P”) “controls” a company (“C”) at any time when P is C's parent ....
2
But C is not to be taken to be a CFC by virtue of subsection (1) at the time in question unless the 50% condition is met at that time.
3
To determine if the 50% condition is met at the time in question, assume—
a
that C is a CFC at that time,
b
that that time is itself an accounting period of the CFC, and
c
that section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) applies in relation to the assumed accounting period.
4
The 50% condition is met at the time in question if, as a result of steps 1 and 3 in section 371BC(1), at least 50% of the CFC's chargeable profits would be apportioned to P taken together with its
UK
resident
subsidiaries
(if any).
5
“Parent”
and
“subsidiary”
are to be read in accordance with
Financial Reporting Standard 102 issued in March 2013 by the Financial Reporting Council
, as from time to time modified, amended or revised.
6
For the purposes of this section it does not matter if P does not prepare, or is not required to prepare, consolidated financial statements in accordance with

a document which replaces Financial Reporting Standard 2, or
b
a document which replaces, modifies, amends or revises a document falling within paragraph (a) or a document which is a relevant document by virtue of this paragraph.
3
The Treasury may by regulations make provision corresponding to section 371RE—
a
which operates by reference to any other accounting standard dealing with consolidated financial statements, and
b
which is to apply, instead of section 371RE, to determine if a person “controls” a company where that person prepares, or is required to prepare, consolidated financial statements in accordance with that standard.
4
The Treasury may by regulations provide that, if specified conditions are met, a company is not to be taken to be a CFC by virtue of—
a
section 371RE, or
b
provision corresponding to section 371RE contained in regulations under subsection (3).
5

Companies in which a UK resident company has more than a 50% investment
371RG
1
If a UK resident company (whether alone or together with any associated enterprises) directly or indirectly has more than a 50% investment in a non-UK resident company, the non-UK resident company is to be taken to be a CFC (if it would not otherwise be).
2
A person (“P”) is an “associated enterprise” in relation to a UK resident company if—
a
P directly or indirectly has a 25% investment in the company (or vice versa), or
b
another person directly or indirectly has a 25% investment in each of P and the company.

whether a person has “more than a 50% investment” in another person, and
b
whether a person has a “25% investment” in another person,
and, accordingly, references in section 259ND to “X%” are to be read as references to more than 50% or to 25% (as appropriate) and references in that section to “X% or more” are to be read as references to more than 50% or to 25% or more (as appropriate).
Chapter 19

Assumed taxable total profits, assumed total profits and the corporation tax assumptions

Overview

Overview of Chapter
371SA
This Chapter explains the concepts of “assumed taxable total profits” and “assumed total profits” (see section 371SB) and “the corporation tax assumptions” (see section 371SC) which are referred to in this Part.

“Assumed taxable total profits” and “assumed total profits”

What are “assumed taxable total profits” and “assumed total profits”?
371SB
1
For the purposes of this Part a CFC's “assumed taxable total profits” for an accounting period are what, applying the corporation tax assumptions, would be the CFC's taxable total profits of the accounting period for corporation tax purposes.
2
“
Taxable total profits
” has the meaning given by section 4(2) of CTA 2010 (calculation of taxable total profits).
3
But, for this purpose, in section 4(3) of CTA 2010—
a
step 1 is to be applied subject to subsections (4) to (6) below, and
b
step 2 is to be ignored.
4
Any income which accrues during the accounting period to the trustees of a settlement in relation to which the CFC is a settlor or a beneficiary is to be added to the income determined at step 1.
5
If there is more than one settlor or beneficiary in relation to the settlement, the income is to be apportioned between the CFC and the other settlors or beneficiaries on a just and reasonable basis.
6
If by virtue of subsection (4) any income (“the settlement income”) is added to the income determined at step 1, any dividend or other distribution which derives from the settlement income is to be excluded from the income determined at step 1.
7
Subsection (8) applies if there is any income which, by virtue of subsection (4), would (apart from subsection (8)) be included in—
a
the chargeable profits for an accounting period of a CFC which is a beneficiary in relation to a settlement, and
b
the chargeable profits for an accounting period of a CFC which is a settlor in relation to the settlement.
8
If the CFC charge is charged in relation to the beneficiary's accounting period, the income is not to be included in the settlor's chargeable profits.
9
For the purposes of this Part a CFC's “assumed total profits” for an accounting period are its assumed taxable total profits for the period before taking step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010.

“The corporation tax assumptions”

What are “the corporation tax assumptions”?
371SC
1
In this Part “
the corporation tax assumptions
” means the assumptions set out in sections 371SD to 371SR.
2
The corporation tax assumptions are to be applied in determining the following for an accounting period (“
the relevant accounting period
”) of a CFC—
a
the CFC's assumed taxable total profits in accordance with section 371SB(1),
b
the corresponding
UK
tax in accordance with section 371NE, and
c
the CFC's creditable tax in accordance with Chapter 16.

UK residence etc
371SD
1
Assume—
a
that the CFC is
UK
resident at all times during the relevant accounting period,
b
if the relevant accounting period is not the CFC's first accounting period, that the CFC has been
UK
resident from the beginning of the CFC's first accounting period, and
c
except where the CFC ceases to be a CFC at the end of the relevant accounting period, that the CFC will continue to be
UK
resident until it ceases to be a CFC,
and that the CFC is, has been and will continue to be within the charge to corporation tax, and that its accounting periods (as determined in accordance with section 371VB) are accounting periods for corporation tax purposes, accordingly.
2
Subsection (1)—
a
does not require it to be assumed that there is any change in the place or places at which the CFC carries on its activities, and
b
requires (in particular) that it be assumed that the CFC does not get the benefit of section 1279 of CTA 2009 (exemption for profits from securities free of tax to residents abroad).
3
If the CFC is (actually)
UK
resident immediately before the beginning of its first accounting period, assume that its
UK
residence from the beginning of that accounting period (as assumed in accordance with subsection (1)) is not continuous with its (actual)
UK
residence before the beginning of that accounting period.
4
Except where the relevant accounting period is the CFC's first accounting period, assume that a determination of the CFC's assumed taxable total profits has been made for all previous accounting periods back to (and including) the CFC's first accounting period.
5
Subsection (4) applies (in particular) for the purpose of applying any relief which is relevant to two or more accounting periods.
6
In this section references to the CFC's first accounting period are to the CFC's accounting period which begins when it becomes a CFC.

Close company
371SE
Assume that the CFC is not a close company.

Claims and elections
371SF
1
In relation to any relief under the Corporation Tax Acts which is dependent upon the making of a claim or election, assume the CFC—
a
to have made that claim or election which would give the maximum amount of relief, and
b
to have made that claim or election within any applicable time limit.
2
Subsection (1) does not cover (so far as it would otherwise do so) a claim or election under—
a
section 18A of CTA 2009 (exemption for profits or losses of foreign permanent establishments),
b
section 1275 of CTA 2009 (relief for unremittable income),
c
section 9A of CTA 2010 (designated currency of a
UK
resident investment company), or
d
regulations made under paragraph 16 of Schedule 8 to FA 2006 (election for lease to be treated as long funding lease).
3
Subsection (1) is also subject to section 371SK(5).

Disapplication of assumption in section 371SF(1)
371SG
1
This section applies if a notice is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs requesting that the CFC be assumed—
a
not to have made for the relevant accounting period a specified claim or election otherwise covered by section 371SF(1),
b
to have made for the relevant accounting period a specified claim or election, being different from one assumed by section 371SF(1) but being one which (subject to compliance with any applicable time limit) could have been made by a company within the charge to corporation tax, or
c
to have disclaimed or required the postponement, in whole or in part, of a specified allowance for the relevant accounting period if (subject to compliance with any applicable time limit) a company within the charge to corporation tax could have disclaimed the allowance or required such a postponement (as the case may be).
2
In determining for the purposes of section 371BA(3) the CFC's assumed total profits and the amounts to be relieved against those profits at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010—
a
the assumption set out in the notice under subsection (1) is to be applied so far as relevant, and
b
the assumption set out in section 371SF(1) is to be disapplied to the extent necessary as a consequence.
3
In determining the CFC's creditable tax—
a
the assumption set out in the notice under subsection (1) is to be applied so far as relevant, and
b
the assumption set out in section 371SF(1) is to be disapplied to the extent necessary as a consequence.
4
The claims which may be specified in a notice under subsection (1) by virtue of paragraph (b) include claims under the provision mentioned in section 371SF(2)(b) or 371SK(5).
5
A notice under subsection (1)—
a
may be given only by a company or companies determined under subsection (6) or (7), and
b
must be given—
i
within 20 months after the end of the relevant accounting period, or
ii
within such longer period as an officer of Revenue and Customs may allow.
6
A company may give a notice if—
a
the company would be a chargeable company were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to the relevant accounting period, and
b
the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits which would be apportioned to the company at step 3 in section 371BC(1) would represent more than half of X%.
7
Two or more companies may together give a notice if—
a
the companies would all be chargeable companies were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to the relevant accounting period, and
b
the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits which would be apportioned to the companies, taken together, at step 3 in section 371BC(1) would represent more than half of X%.
8
In subsections (6) and (7) “
X%
” means the total percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits which would be apportioned to chargeable companies at step 3 in section 371BC(1) were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to the relevant accounting period.

Elections under section 9A of CTA 2010
371SH
1
This section applies if—
a
during the relevant accounting period or any earlier accounting period of the CFC, a notice is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs requesting that the CFC be assumed to have made an election under section 9A of CTA 2010 (designated currency of a
UK
resident investment company) in the form specified in the notice, and
b
the time at which the notice is given is a time at which, applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from this section, the CFC would have been able to make an election under that section in the form specified in the notice (see, in particular, section 9A(2)).
2
Assume—
a
that an election under section 9A of CTA 2010 has been made by the CFC in the form specified in the notice under subsection (1) at the time in question, and
b
that, accordingly, sections 9A and 9B of that Act apply to determine the effect (if any) of that election.
3
Subsection (2)(b) does not apply if—
a
a notice is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs revoking the notice under subsection (1), and
b
the time at which the notice revoking the notice under subsection (1) is given is a time at which, applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from this section and the assumption in subsection (2)(a), the CFC would have been able to revoke its assumed election under section 9A of CTA 2010.
4
A notice under subsection (1) or (3) may be given only by a company or companies determined under subsection (5) or (6).
5
A company may give a notice if—
a
the company would be likely to be a chargeable company in relation to the applicable accounting period were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to that period, and
b
the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits for the applicable accounting period which would be likely to be apportioned to the company at step 3 in section 371BC(1) would represent more than half of X%.
6
Two or more companies may together give a notice if—
a
the companies would all be likely to be chargeable companies in relation to the applicable accounting period were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to that period, and
b

in accordance with section 371SH, the CFC is assumed to have made an election under section 9A of CTA 2010, but

in subsection (2), inserted after “its accounts in sterling”.

4
A notice under subsection (1) or (3) may be given only by a company or companies determined under subsection (5) or (6).
5
A company may give a notice if—
a
the company would be likely to be a chargeable company in relation to the applicable accounting period were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to that period, and
b
the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits for the applicable accounting period which would be likely to be apportioned to the company at step 3 in section 371BC(1) would represent more than half of X%.
6
Two or more companies may together give a notice if—

the companies would all be likely to be chargeable companies in relation to the applicable accounting period were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to that period, and

d
“
X%
” means the total percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits for the applicable accounting period which would be likely to be apportioned to chargeable companies at step 3 in section 371BC(1) were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to the applicable accounting period.
8
The Treasury may by regulations amend this section as they consider appropriate to take account of any regulations made by them from time to time under paragraph 16 of Schedule 8 to FA 2006 (elections for leases to be treated as long funding leases).

Intangible fixed assets
371SK
1
This section applies for the purpose of applying Part 8 of CTA 2009 (intangible fixed assets).
2
Assume that any intangible fixed asset acquired or created by the CFC before its first accounting period was acquired or created by the CFC at the beginning of that accounting period at a cost equal to its value recognised for accounting purposes at that time.
3
In subsection (2) references to the CFC's first accounting period are to the CFC's accounting period which begins when it becomes a CFC.
4
The assumption in subsection (2) does not affect the determination of the question whether Part 8 of CTA 2009 applies to an asset in accordance with section 882 of that Act (application of Part 8 to assets created or acquired on or after 1 April 2002).
5
Assume also that the CFC—
a
has not claimed any relief under Chapter 7 of Part 8 of CTA 2009 (roll-over relief in case of reinvestment), or
b
made any provisional declaration of entitlement to such relief.
6
Subsection (5) is subject to section 371SG(4).

371SKA
1
This section applies for the purposes of—

2
Assume that each of the following is nil—
a
the CFC's deductions allowance for the relevant accounting period,
b
the CFC's trading profits deductions allowance for the relevant accounting period, and
c
the CFC's non-trading profits deductions allowance for the relevant accounting period.
3
But if section 269ZX of CTA 2010 (increase of deductions allowance
in connection with onerous or impaired leases
) applies in relation to the relevant accounting period, the reference in subsection (2) to “nil” is to be read as a reference to an amount equal to the increase provided for by subsection (3) of that section.

Group relief etc
371SL
1
Assume that the CFC is neither a member of a group of companies nor a member of a consortium for the purposes of any provision of the Tax Acts.
2
Subsection (3) applies if—
a
under Part 5 of CTA 2010 (group relief)
or Part 5A of that Act (group relief for carried-forward losses)
the CFC actually surrenders any relief which is allowed to another company by way of group relief
or group relief for carried-forward losses
, but
b
applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from subsection (3), the relief would reduce the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the relevant accounting period.
3
Assume that the relief is to be ignored in determining the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the relevant accounting period.
4
This section is subject to section 371SLA (corporate interest restriction).

Corporate interest restriction
371SLA

b
that the CFC is the only
UK
group company in the period (within the meaning of that Part).
3
Assume also that Part 10 applies as if subsections (2) and (3) of section 392 (interest capacity of the group: the de minimis amount) were omitted.

Capital allowances
371SM
1
This section applies if, before the CFC's first accounting period, the CFC incurred any capital expenditure on the provision of plant or machinery for the purposes of its trade.
2
For the purposes of Part 2 of
CAA
2001 (plant and machinery allowances) assume that the plant or machinery—
a
was provided for purposes wholly other than those of the trade, and
b
was not brought into use for the purposes of the trade until the beginning of the CFC's first accounting period,
and that section 13 of
CAA
2001 (use for qualifying activity of plant or machinery provided for other purposes) applies accordingly.
3
In this section references to the CFC's first accounting period are to the CFC's accounting period which begins when it becomes a CFC.
4
This section is to be read as if it were contained in Part 2 of
CAA
2001.

Unremittable overseas income
371SN
1
For the purposes of Part 18 of CTA 2009 (unremittable overseas income) assume that in section 1274(1)(a), (3) and (4) of that Act references to the United Kingdom are references to the relevant territories.

“
The relevant territories
” means—
a
the United Kingdom,
b

Tax advantages
371SO
1
This section applies if there is an arrangement or other conduct a purpose of which is to obtain a tax advantage within section 1139(2)(da) of CTA 2010 by obtaining by any means what would, applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from this section, be a tax advantage within section 1139(2)(a) to (d) of that Act.
2
So far as they would not otherwise do so, the Corporation Tax Acts are to be assumed to apply in relation to the arrangement or other conduct in the same way as they would apply were the purpose of obtaining a tax advantage within section 1139(2)(da) of CTA 2010 the purpose of obtaining an actual tax advantage within section 1139(2)(a) to (d) of that Act by the means in question.

Disguised interest: application of Chapter 2A of Part 6 of CTA 2009
371SP
1
This section applies if—
a
applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from this section, Chapter 2A of Part 6 of CTA 2009 (disguised interest) would, but for section 486D(1) of that Act, apply in relation to a return produced for the CFC by an arrangement to which the CFC is a party, and
b
it is reasonable to assume that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the CFC being a party to the arrangement is to obtain a tax advantage within section 1139(2)(da) of CTA 2010 for any person by obtaining what would, applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from this section, be a relevant tax advantage in relation to the CFC.
2
Chapter 2A of Part 6 of CTA 2009 is to be assumed to apply in relation to the return.
3
In subsection (1)(b) the reference to obtaining what would be a relevant tax advantage is to be read in accordance with section 486D(4) of CTA 2009.
4

371SQ
1

b
the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, for which the CFC holds the share is to obtain a tax advantage within section 1139(2)(da) of CTA 2010 for any person by obtaining what would, applying the corporation tax assumptions apart from this section, be a relevant tax advantage in relation to the CFC.
2
Section 521C of CTA 2009 is to be assumed to apply to the share.
3
In subsection (1)(b) the reference to obtaining what would be a relevant tax advantage is to be read in accordance with section 521E(4) of CTA 2009.

countering effect of avoidance arrangements
) would or might be met in relation to the CFC in relation to the relevant accounting period.
2

Chapter 20

Residence of CFCs

The basic rule
371TA
1
For the purposes of this Part a CFC is taken to be resident for an accounting period (“
the relevant accounting period
”) in—
a
the territory determined by applying section 371TB, or
b
if no territory can be determined by applying that section—
i
if subsection (2) applies, the territory in which the CFC is taken to be resident under the double taxation arrangements in question, or
ii
otherwise, the territory in which the CFC is incorporated or formed.
2
This subsection applies if the CFC is incorporated or formed in the United Kingdom but is taken to be non-UK resident by virtue of section 18 of CTA 2009 (companies treated as non-UK resident under double taxation arrangements).
3
This section is subject to section 371KC and step 1 in section 371NB(1).

How to determine the territory in which the CFC is resident
371TB
1
The CFC is taken to be resident in the territory under the law of which, at all times during the relevant accounting period, the CFC is liable to tax by reason of domicile, residence or place of management.
2
If there are two or more territories (each of which is called an “eligible territory”) falling within subsection (1), the CFC is taken to be resident in only one of the eligible territories.
3
To determine that territory, go through the following subsections.
If two or more subsections apply, the earlier or earliest subsection takes precedence.
4
If an election or designation under subsection (8) or (9) has effect for the relevant accounting period by virtue of section 371TC(9)(b), the CFC is taken to be resident in the eligible territory which is the subject of the election or designation.
5
If, at all times during the relevant accounting period, the CFC's place of effective management is situated in one of the eligible territories only, the CFC is taken to be resident in that territory.
6
If—
a
at all times during the relevant accounting period, the CFC's place of effective management is situated in two or more of the eligible territories, and
b
immediately before the end of the relevant accounting period, over 50% of the amount of the CFC's assets is situated in one of those eligible territories,
the CFC is taken to be resident in the territory in which over 50% of the amount of the CFC's assets is situated.
For this purpose, the amount of the CFC's assets is determined by reference to their market value immediately before the end of the relevant accounting period.
7
If, immediately before the end of the relevant accounting period, over 50% of the amount of the CFC's assets is situated in one of the eligible territories, the CFC is taken to be resident in that territory.
For this purpose, the amount of the CFC's assets is determined by reference to their market value immediately before the end of the relevant accounting period.
8
If, in accordance with section 371TC(1), an election specifying an eligible territory is made, the CFC is taken to be resident in that territory.
9
If an officer of Revenue and Customs designates an eligible territory on a just and reasonable basis (see section 371TC(6) to (8)), the CFC is taken to be resident in that territory.

3
Two or more companies may together make an election if it is likely that, were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to the relevant accounting period, the companies would all be chargeable companies whose apportioned percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits for the relevant accounting period would, taken together, represent more than half of X%.
4
In subsections (2) and (3) “
X%
” means the total percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits for the relevant accounting period which would be likely to be apportioned to chargeable companies were section 371BC (charging the CFC charge) to apply in relation to the relevant accounting period.
5
In subsections (2) to (4) references to apportioned percentages of the CFC's chargeable profits for the relevant accounting period are to the percentages apportioned at step 3 in section 371BC(1).
6

7
An officer of Revenue and Customs must give notice of a designation to each company which the officer considers would be likely to be a chargeable company were the CFC charge to be charged in relation to the relevant accounting period.
8

a
one or more of the territories which were eligible territories in relation to the relevant accounting period does not fall within section 371TB(1) in relation to the later period, or

b
the tax-interest expense amount is disallowed in that accounting period, and
c
in a subsequent accounting period (“the later accounting period”) the trade is uncommercial and non-statutory,
the tax-interest expense amount is not carried forward to the later accounting period or accounting periods after the later accounting period.
5
For the purposes of subsection (4), a trade is “uncommercial and non-statutory” in an accounting period if, were the company to have made a loss in the trade in the period, relief for the loss under section 37 of CTA 2010 (relief for trade losses against total profits) would have been unavailable by virtue of section 44 of that Act (trade must be commercial or carried on for statutory functions).

is brought into account in the later accounting period in accordance with section 379,
it is not carried forward to accounting periods after the later accounting period.

Reactivation of interest
379
1
This section applies where—

an interest restriction return is submitted for a period of account of a worldwide group (“the relevant period of account”),
b
the return complies with the requirements of paragraph 20(3) of Schedule 7A (requirements for full interest restriction return), and
c
the return contains a statement that the group is subject to interest reactivations in the return period.

a
are brought forward to the specified accounting period from an earlier accounting period, and
b
in total, equal the allocated reactivation for the return period.
3
A tax-interest expense amount is brought into account in the specified accounting period under subsection (2) by being treated as a tax-interest expense amount of the specified accounting period (so that, for example, a tax-interest expense amount that is a relevant loan relationship debit falling within section 383(2)(a)(ii) is brought into account in the specified period as a non-trading debit under Part 5 of CTA 2009).
4
See section 380 for provision as to which tax-interest expense amounts are to be brought into account under subsection (2).
5
In this section “
the specified accounting period
” means—

“
the gross disallowed amount
” means the amount, or total of the amounts, mentioned in subsection (1)(a);
b
“
the gross reactivated amount
” means the amount, or total of the amounts, mentioned in subsection (1)(b).
3
Where the gross disallowed amount is equal to the gross reactivated amount, no tax-interest expense amounts are to be left out of account in the accounting period under this Part or brought into account in the accounting period under this Part.
4
Where the gross disallowed amount is more than the gross reactivated amount—
a
the requirement in section 375 or 376 is to leave out of account tax-interest expense amounts that, in total, equal the gross disallowed amount less the gross reactivated amount, and

CHAPTER 3

Tax-interest amounts

Tax-interest expense and income amounts: basic rules

The tax-interest expense amounts of a company
382
1
References in this Part to a “tax-interest expense amount” of a company for a period of account of a worldwide group are to any amount that—
a
is (or apart from this Part would be) brought into account for the purposes of corporation tax in a relevant accounting period of the company, and
b
meets condition A, B or C.
1A
But, in the case of a company which is a charity (as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 to FA 2010) at the end of the period of account, references in this Part to a “tax-interest expense amount” of the company do not include references to an amount which meets Condition A, B or C.
2
Condition A is that the amount is a relevant loan relationship debit (see section 383).
3
Condition B is that the amount is a relevant derivative contract debit (see section 384).
4
Condition C is that the amount is in respect of the financing cost implicit in amounts payable under a relevant arrangement or transaction.
5
In subsection (4) “
relevant arrangement or transaction
” means—
a
a finance lease,
b
debt factoring, or any similar transaction, or
c
a service concession arrangement if and to the extent that the arrangement is accounted for as a financial liability.
6
Subsection (8) applies if an accounting period in which a tax-interest expense amount is (or apart from this Part would be) brought into account for the purposes of corporation tax contains one or more disregarded periods.
7
A “disregarded period” is any period falling within the accounting period—
a
which does not fall within the period of account of the worldwide group, or
b
throughout which the company is not a member of the group.
8
Where this subsection applies, the tax-interest expense amount mentioned in subsection (6) is reduced by such amount as is referable, on a just and reasonable basis, to the disregarded period or periods mentioned in that subsection.
9
An amount may be reduced to nil under subsection (8).
10
If—
a
an amount would have met condition A, B or C but for the application of a rule preventing its deduction,
b
some or all of it is deductible at a subsequent time as a result of the application of another rule, and
c
none of conditions A to C are met at that time,
so much of the amount as is subsequently deductible is treated, at that time, as meeting whichever of condition A, B or C would have been met but for the application of the rule mentioned in paragraph (a).
11
An example of a case to which subsection (10) applies is a case where—
a
an amount is prevented from being deducted as a result of any provision made by Part 6A (hybrid and other mismatches), and
b
another provision of that Part subsequently applies so as to permit some or all of it to be deducted from total profits.

ii
the last period of account of the old group is treated as ending on the day before the takeover day;
b
the interest allowance of the new group is determined as if periods of account of the old group which ended before the beginning of the first period of account of the new group were periods of account of the new group.

398
1
For the purposes of section 396, the basic interest allowance of a worldwide group for a period of account of the group, calculated using the group ratio method, is the lower of the following amounts—
a
the group ratio percentage of the aggregate tax-EBITDA of the group for the period;
b
the group ratio debt cap of the group for the period.
2
See—
- section 399 for the meaning of “group ratio percentage”;
- section 400 for the meaning of “group ratio debt cap”;
- section 405 for the meaning of “aggregate tax-EBITDA”.

The group ratio percentage
399
1
For the purposes of this Part “the group ratio percentage” of a worldwide group for a period of account of the group is (subject to subsection (2)) the following proportion expressed as a percentage—
A/B
where—
A is the qualifying net group-interest expense of the group for the period;
B is the group-EBITDA of the group for the period.
2
“The group ratio percentage” is 100% where—
a
the percentage determined under subsection (1) is negative or higher than 100%, or
b
B in that subsection is zero.
3
See—
- section 414 for the meaning of “qualifying net group-interest expense”;
- section 416 for the meaning of “group-EBITDA”.

The debt cap
400
1
For the purposes of section 397 (and this section), “the fixed ratio debt cap” of a worldwide group for a period of account of the group is the sum of the following amounts—
a
the adjusted net group-interest expense of the group for the period;
b
the excess debt cap of the group that was generated in the immediately preceding period of account of the group (if any) (see subsections (3) to (7)).
2
For the purposes of section 398 (and this section), “the group ratio debt cap” of a worldwide group for a period of account of the group is the sum of the following amounts—
a
the qualifying net group-interest expense of the group for the period;
b
the excess debt cap of the group that was generated in the immediately preceding period of account of the group (if any) (see subsections (3) to (7)).
3
Where no group ratio election is in force in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group (“the generating period”), “the excess debt cap” of the group that is generated in the period is (subject to subsections (5) and (6))—
A − B
where—
A is the fixed ratio debt cap of the group for the generating period;
B is 30% of the aggregate tax-EBITDA of the group for the generating period.
4
Where a group ratio election is in force in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group (“the generating period”), “the excess debt cap” of the group that is generated in the period is (subject to subsections (5) and (6))—
A − B
where—
A is the group ratio debt cap of the group for the generating period;
B is the group ratio percentage of the aggregate tax-EBITDA of the group for the generating period.
5
Where the amount determined under subsection (3) or (4) is negative, “the excess debt cap” of the group that is generated in the period is nil.
6
Where the amount determined under subsection (3) or (4) is greater than the carry-forward limit, “the excess debt cap” of the group that is generated in the period is the carry-forward limit.
7
For this purpose the “carry-forward limit” is the sum of the following amounts—
a
the excess debt cap generated in the period of account of the group immediately preceding the generating period (if any);
b
the total disallowed amount of the group in the generating period.
8
See—
- section 373 for the meaning of “the total disallowed amount”;
- section 405 for the meaning of “aggregate tax-EBITDA”;
- section 413 for the meaning of “adjusted net group-interest expense”;
- section 414 for the meaning of “qualifying net group-interest expense”.

Carry forward of excess debt cap: new holding company
400A
1
This section applies if—
a
a company (“C”) ceases to be the ultimate parent of a worldwide group (“the old group”) because of a qualifying takeover, and
b
another company (“N”) becomes the ultimate parent of a worldwide group (“the new group”) as a result of the takeover.
2
For this purpose there is a qualifying takeover if there is a change in the ownership of C which is disregarded for the purposes of Chapters 2 to 6 of Part 14 of CTA 2010 as a result of section 724A of that Act where—
a
C is the other company referred to as C in that section, and
b
N is the new company referred to as N in that section.
3
In determining in accordance with section 400
the new group’s fixed ratio debt cap
or group ratio debt cap for its first period of account, its excess debt cap generated in the immediately preceding period of account is taken to be that of the old group for the period of account of the old group
ending on the day before the takeover day (see section 395A(3))
.

Effect of group ratio (blended) election

Effect of group ratio (blended) election on group ratio percentage
401
1
Where a group ratio (blended) election (see paragraph 14 of Schedule 7A) has effect in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group (“the relevant period of account”), this Chapter applies subject to this section.
2
Section 399 (meaning of “group ratio percentage”) does not apply for the purpose of determining the group ratio percentage of the group for the relevant period of account.
3
Instead, the group ratio percentage of the group for the relevant period of account is determined by taking the following steps—
- Step 1
For each investor in the group, multiply the investor's applicable percentage by the investor's share in the group.
- Step 2
Add together the amounts found under Step 1.
4
For the purposes of this section, an investor's “applicable percentage” is the highest of the following percentages—
a
30%;
b
the percentage determined under section 399;
c
in the case of a related party investor that, throughout the relevant period of account, is a member of a worldwide group (“the investor's worldwide group”) other than that mentioned in subsection (1), the group ratio percentage of the investor's worldwide group for the relevant period of account.
5
Subsection (6) applies where financial statements of the investor's worldwide group are drawn up in respect of one or more periods (“the investor's periods of account”) that are comprised in or overlap with (but are not coterminous with) the relevant period of account.
6
The group ratio percentage of the investor's worldwide group for the relevant period of account is to be determined for the purposes of subsection (4)(c) by taking the following steps—
- Step 1
Find the group ratio percentage of the investor's worldwide group for each of the investor's periods of account.
- Step 2
Find the proportion of the relevant period of account that coincides with each of the investor's periods of account.
- Step 3
For each of the investor's periods of account, multiply the group ratio percentage found under Step 1 by the proportion found under Step 2.
- Step 4
Add together the amounts found under Step 3.

Effect of group ratio (blended) election on group ratio debt cap
402
1
Where a group ratio (blended) election (see paragraph 14 of Schedule 7A) has effect in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group (“the relevant period of account”), this Chapter applies subject to this section.
2
In section 400 (the debt cap), subsection (2)(a) is treated as if—
a
it did not refer to the qualifying net group-interest expense of the group for the period, and
b
instead it referred to the blended net group-interest expense of the group for the period, as determined in accordance with this section.
3
The blended net group-interest expense of the group for the relevant period of account is determined by taking the following steps—
- Step 1
For each investor in the group whose applicable percentage for the purposes of section 401 is the percentage mentioned in subsection (4)(a) of that section, multiply the adjusted net group-interest expense of the group for the period by the investor's share in the group.
- Step 2
For each investor in the group whose applicable percentage for the purposes of section 401 is the percentage mentioned in subsection (4)(b) of that section, multiply the qualifying net group-interest expense of the group for the period by the investor's share in the group.
- Step 3
For each investor in the group whose applicable percentage for the purposes of section 401 is the percentage mentioned in subsection (4)(c) of that section, find the applicable net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for the period (see subsections (4) to (8) of this section).
- Step 4
Add together the amounts found under Steps 1, 2 and 3.
4
For the purposes of this section, the “applicable net group-interest expense” of the investor's worldwide group for a period of account is so much of the qualifying net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for the period as relates to loans to, or other financial arrangements with, members of the investor's worldwide group that are used to fund (directly or indirectly) loans to, or other financial arrangements with, members of the worldwide group mentioned in subsection (1).
5
Subsection (6) applies where periods of account of the investor's worldwide group (“the investor's periods of account”) are comprised in or overlap with (but are not coterminous with) the relevant period of account.
6
The applicable net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for the relevant period of account is the aggregate of so much of the applicable net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for each of the investor's periods of account as is referable, on a just and reasonable basis, to the relevant period of account.
7
Subsection (8) applies where—
a
a loan is made to, or another financial arrangement is entered into with, a member of the investor's worldwide group, and
b
the loan or other financial arrangement is—
i
in part used to fund (directly or indirectly) loans to, or other financial arrangements with, members of the worldwide group mentioned in subsection (1), and
ii
in part used for other purposes.
8
In determining the applicable net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for any period, the amount of the qualifying net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for the period that is brought into account, in respect of the loan or other financial arrangement mentioned in subsection (7)(a), is confined to such amount as is referable, on a just and reasonable basis, to the use mentioned in subsection (7)(b)(i).
9
In this section—
- “
financial arrangements
” does not include the holding of shares;
- “
the investor's worldwide group
” has the same meaning as in section 401.

Calculations under sections 401 and 402: investor worldwide groups
403
1
This section applies—
a
in determining, under section 401, the group ratio percentage of the investor's worldwide group for a period of account;
b
in determining, under section 402, the qualifying net group-interest expense of the investor's worldwide group for a period of account.
2
Where the group ratio (blended) election specifies that a particular election under Schedule 7A (“the investor's election”) is to be treated as having effect, or as not having effect, in relation to periods of account of the investor's worldwide group, the investor's election is to be so treated in determining the amounts mentioned in subsection (1).
3
Where the group ratio (blended) election does not specify that a particular election under Schedule 7A (“the investor's election”) is to be treated as having effect, or as not having effect, in relation to periods of account of the investor's worldwide group, the investor's election is to be treated as having effect in determining the amounts mentioned in subsection (1) only if it was in fact made in relation to the period of account in question by a reporting company of the investor's worldwide group.
4
In this section “
the investor's worldwide group
” has the same meaning as in section 401.

Meaning of “investor”, “related party investor” and investor's “share”
404
1
An entity is an “investor” in a worldwide group if it has an interest in the ultimate parent of the group that entitles it to a proportion of the profits or losses of the group.
2
An investor in a worldwide group is a “related party investor” of the group in relation to a period of account of the group if, throughout the period, it is a related party of the ultimate parent of the group.
3
The “share” of an investor in a worldwide group, in relation to a period of account of the group, is the proportion (expressed as a percentage) of the profits or losses of the group that arise in the period to which the investor is entitled by virtue of the investor's interest in the group's ultimate parent.

c
in the financial statements of the group for the relevant period of account, any of the carrying value is written down.
5
B in subsection (1) is treated as including the amount of the reduction in the amount written down that is attributable to the capitalised income.
5A
If, on the assumption that subsections (3) and (5) applied to relevant assets, an amount would, in accordance with subsection (3) or (5), have been treated as included in A or B in subsection (1)—
a
as an amount attributable to the capitalised expense, or
b
as an amount attributable to the capitalised income,
none of that amount is to be included in A or B in that subsection.

or related transaction
if and only if they are incurred directly—
a
in bringing, or attempting to bring, the relationship into existence,
ab
in entering into or giving effect to, or attempting to enter into or give effect to, the related transaction,

2
Subsection (3) applies where one or more excluded derivative contract amounts are recognised in the group's financial statements for the relevant period of account as items of profit or loss.
3
The financial statements are treated for the purposes of this Part (apart from this section) as if the excluded derivative contract amounts were not recognised in the group's financial statements for the relevant period of account.
4
In subsections (2) and (3) “
excluded derivative contract amount
” means an amount which would, on the relevant assumptions, be excluded from section 597(1) of CTA 2009 (amounts recognised in determining a company's profit or loss) as a result of a relevant provision of the Disregard Regulations.

d
that where—
i
a member of the group (“member A”) holds a derivative contract,

iii
the asset, liability, receipt or expense is held, or is expected to be received or incurred, by a member of the group other than member A,
the asset, liability, receipt or expense is held, or is expected to be received or incurred, by member A;
e
that the financial statements of members of the group deal with derivative contracts and hedged items in the same way as they are dealt with in the group's financial statements.
2
For the purposes of subsection (1)(d) the group has a “hedging relationship” between a derivative contract (on the one hand) and an asset, liability, receipt or expense (on the other) if, were those things held, received or incurred by a single company, the company would have a hedging relationship between them.
3
Regulation 2(5) of the Disregard Regulations (hedging relationships of a company) applies for the purposes of this section.
4
For the purposes of section 420 and this section—
a
“

2
Section 419 (the capital (disposals) adjustment) has effect as if—
a
the definition of C in subsection (1) of that section did not apply, and
b
instead, C were defined for the purposes of that section as—
i
the sum of any relevant gains, less
ii
the sum of any relevant losses,
or, where that is a negative amount, nil.
3
For the purposes of this section, there is a “relevant gain” or “relevant loss” where condition A or B is met.
4
Condition A is that a member of the group disposes of a relevant asset during the relevant period of account.
5
Condition B is that—
a
a member of the group ceases to be a member of the group during the relevant period of account, and
b
the member held a relevant asset immediately before ceasing to be a member of the group.
6
Where condition A is met, the amount of the relevant gain or relevant loss is the amount of the chargeable gain or allowable loss that would, on the assumptions in subsection (8), accrue to the member on the disposal.
7
Where condition B is met, the amount of the relevant gain or relevant loss is the amount of the chargeable gain or allowable loss that would, on the assumptions in subsection (8), accrue to the member if the member—
a
disposed of the relevant asset immediately before ceasing to be a member of the group, and
b
received such consideration for that disposal as it is just and reasonable to attribute to it, having regard to the consideration received by the group for its interests in the member.
8
The assumptions mentioned in subsections (6) and (7) are that—
a
all members of the group are within the charge to corporation tax;
b
Schedule 7AC to
TCGA
1992 (exemptions for disposals by companies with substantial shareholdings) is of no effect;

a
the sum of any relevant losses, exceeds
b
the sum of any relevant gains,
the amount of the excess is treated as a relevant loss in relation to the period of account of the group immediately after the relevant period of account.
10
In this section “
relevant asset
” does not include shares in (or other interests giving an entitlement to share in the profits of) a member of the group.

b
subsections (3)(b) and (4)(b) (which relate to capitalised interest written off) did not apply in relation to a GAAP-taxable asset or liability.
2A
Section 413 has effect, in the case of a GAAP-taxable asset that is a relevant asset, as if—
a
the definition of “upward adjustment” included so much of its carrying value written down in the group’s financial statements for the relevant period of account as is attributable to a relevant expense amount brought into account in the group’s financial statements in determining its carrying value, and
b
the definition of “downward adjustment” included so much of the reduction of its carrying value written down in the group’s financial statements for the relevant period of account as is attributable to a relevant income amount brought into account in the group’s financial statements in determining its carrying value.
2AA
Section 413 has effect, in the case of a GAAP-taxable asset within subsection (2AB), as if—
a
the definition of “upward adjustment” included so much of its carrying value as is attributable to a relevant expense amount (whether or not that amount is brought into account in the group’s financial statements for the relevant period of account); and
b
the definition of “downward adjustment” included so much of its carrying value as is attributable to a relevant income amount (whether or not that amount is brought into account in the group’s financial statements for the relevant period of account).
2AB
A GAAP-taxable asset is within this subsection if it is (or, under section 173 of TCGA 1992, is treated as being) appropriated, in a relevant accounting period in relation to a period of account, from trading stock to fixed assets.
2B
For the purposes of subsection (2A) it does not matter whether the relevant expense or income amount is brought into account in determining the asset’s carrying value in the group’s financial statements for the relevant period of account or an earlier period.
3
But subsections
(2)(b), (2A) and (2AA)
of this section are of no effect so far as
the adjusted net group-interest expense of the group for a period of account before the relevant period of account included any amount by virtue of section 413(3)(a) or (4)(a) in respect of the GAAP-taxable asset or liability.
4
For the purposes of this section an asset or liability is “GAAP-taxable” if any profit or loss for corporation tax purposes in relation to the asset or liability falls to be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice
(and, for the purposes of this subsection, an asset is a GAAP-taxable asset even if an election under section 730 of CTA 2009 is, or could be, made in respect of it)
.
5
For the purposes of this section, all members of the group are treated as within the charge to corporation tax.

Employers' pension contributions
424
1
Where an interest allowance (alternative calculation) election has effect in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group, this Chapter applies in relation to the period subject to this section.
2
The definition of “the group's profit before tax” in subsection (2) of section 416 has effect as if references to amounts that are recognised in the financial statements of the group for the period, as items of profit or loss, did not include amounts so recognised in respect of employer pension contributions.
3
The group's profit before tax, as defined in that section, is reduced by the total of the relief to which members of the group are entitled, by virtue of sections 196 to 200 of FA 2004, in respect of relevant employer pension contributions paid during the period.
4
In this section—
a
“
employer pension contributions
” means contributions paid by an employer under a registered pension scheme in respect of an individual;
b
employer pension contributions are “relevant” if they are paid at a time at which the employer is a member of the group.

Unpaid employees’ remuneration

Where an interest allowance (alternative calculation) election has effect in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group, this Chapter applies in relation to the period subject to this section.
2
The definition of “the group’s profit before tax” in section 416(2) has effect as if references to amounts that are recognised in the financial statements of the group for the period, as items of profit or loss, excluded amounts so recognised in respect of employees’ remuneration that are not paid before the end of the period of 9 months immediately following the end of the period of account.
3
If—
a
an amount is, as a result of subsection
(2)
, excluded from the financial statements of the group for the period of account, and
b
the amount is paid in a later period of account of the group in relation to which an interest allowance (alternative calculation) election has effect,
the definition of “the group’s profit before tax” in section 416(2) has effect as if references to amounts that are recognised in the financial statements of the group for the later period of account, as items of profit or loss, included the amount that is paid in that later period.
4
Section 1289 of CTA 2009 (unpaid remuneration: supplementary) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of section 1288 of that Act.

Employee share acquisitions

2
The definition of “the group's profit before tax” in subsection (2) of section 416 has effect as if references to amounts that are recognised in the financial statements of the group for the period, as items of profit or loss, did not include amounts so recognised in respect of employee share acquisition arrangements.
3
The group's profit before tax, as defined in that section, is reduced by such amount as, on a just and reasonable basis, reflects the effect on the group in the period of—
a
deductions allowed to members of the group under Part 11 of CTA 2009 (relief for particular employee share acquisition schemes) and amounts treated as received by members of the group under that Part, and
b
relief given to members of the group under Part 12 of that Act (other relief for employee share acquisitions).
4
In this section “
employee share acquisition arrangements
” means arrangements the corporation tax treatment of which is determined under Part 11 or 12 of CTA 2009.
5
For the purposes of this section, all members of the group are treated as within the charge to corporation tax.

a
was within the charge to corporation tax,

CHAPTER 8

Public infrastructure

Overview

Overview of Chapter
432
1
This Chapter —
a
alters the way in which this Part has effect in relation to companies (referred to as “
qualifying infrastructure companies
”) that are fully taxed in the United Kingdom, and
b
operates by reference to the provision of public infrastructure assets or the carrying on of certain other related activities.
2
In addition to the requirement for the company to be fully taxed in the United Kingdom, the qualifying requirements are—
a
a requirement designed to ensure that the company's income and assets are referable to activities in relation to public infrastructure assets, and
b
a requirement for the company to make an election (which may be revoked, subject to a 5-year rule in relation to the revocation and the ability to make a fresh election).
3
Two different types of asset meet the definition of a “public infrastructure asset”, namely—
a
tangible assets forming part of the infrastructure of the United Kingdom (or the
UK
sector of the continental shelf) that meet a public benefit test, and
b
buildings (or parts of buildings) that are part of a
UK
property business and are let (or sub-let) on a short-term basis to unrelated parties.
4
In either case an asset counts as a public infrastructure asset only if—
a
it has had, has or is likely to have an expected economic life of at least 10 years, and
b
it is shown in a balance sheet of a member of the group that is fully taxed in the United Kingdom.
5
The detail of the above tests is set out in sections 433 to 437.
6
The substantive rules provide that an amount does not count as a tax-interest expense amount if—
a
the creditor in relation to the amount is an unrelated party or another qualifying infrastructure company or the amount is in respect of a loan relationship entered into on or before 12 May 2016 (see sections 438 and 439), and
b
the recourse of the creditor in relation to the amount is limited to the income or assets of, or shares in or debt issued by, a qualifying infrastructure company (ignoring certain financial assistance and certain non-financial guarantees).
7
In addition—
a
provision is made for adjusting the operation of this Part to take into account the effect of the above rules (for example, the tax-EBITDA of a qualifying infrastructure company is treated as nil (see section 441)),
b
provision is made modifying the operation of this Chapter in the case of joint venture companies or partnerships or other transparent entities (see sections 444 to 447), and
c
provision is made in relation to the decommissioning of a public infrastructure asset (see section 448).

Key concepts

Meaning of “qualifying infrastructure company”
433
1
For the purposes of this Chapter a company is a “qualifying infrastructure company” throughout an accounting period if—
a
it meets the public infrastructure income test for the accounting period (see subsections (2) to (4)),
b
it meets the public infrastructure assets test for the accounting period (see subsections (5) to (10)),
c
it is fully taxed in the United Kingdom in the accounting period
(see subsections (11) and (12))
, and
d
it has made an election for the purposes of this section that has effect for the accounting period (see section 434).
2
A company meets the public infrastructure income test for an accounting period if all, or all but an insignificant proportion, of its income for the accounting period derives from—
a
qualifying infrastructure activities carried on by the company (see sections 436 and 437),
b
shares in a qualifying infrastructure company, or
c
loan relationships or other financing arrangements to which the only other party is a qualifying infrastructure company.
3
A company also meets the public infrastructure income test for an accounting period if it has no income for the period.
4
In determining whether the public infrastructure income test for an accounting period is met, income which does not derive from any of the matters mentioned in subsection (2)(a) to (c) is ignored if, having regard to all the circumstances, it is reasonable to regard the amount of the income as insignificant.
5
A company meets the public infrastructure assets test for an accounting period if all, or all but an insignificant proportion, of the total value of the company's assets recognised in an appropriate balance sheet on each day in that period derives from—
a
tangible assets that are related to qualifying infrastructure activities,
b
service concession arrangements in respect of assets that are related to qualifying infrastructure activities,
c
financial assets to which the company is a party for the purpose of the carrying on of qualifying infrastructure activities by the company or another associated qualifying infrastructure company,
ca
assets held for the purposes of a pension scheme under which benefits are provided to, or in respect of, persons employed for the purpose of the carrying on of qualifying infrastructure activities by the company or another associated qualifying infrastructure company,
cb
assets in respect of deferred tax so far as attributable to qualifying infrastructure activities carried on by the company or another associated qualifying infrastructure company,
d
shares in a qualifying infrastructure company, or
e
loan relationships or other financing arrangements to which the only other party is a qualifying infrastructure company.
6
If a company has no assets recognised in an appropriate balance sheet on any day in an accounting period, the company is to be taken as meeting the public infrastructure assets test in respect of that day.
7
In determining whether the public infrastructure assets test for an accounting period is met in respect of any day, the value of an asset which does not derive from any of the matters mentioned in subsection (5)(a) to (e) is ignored if, having regard to all the circumstances, it is reasonable to regard the value of the asset as insignificant.
8
For the purposes of subsection (5)(a) and (b) assets are “related to qualifying infrastructure activities” in the case of a company if the assets are—
a
public infrastructure assets (see section 436(2) and (5)) in relation to the company that are provided by the company, or
b
other assets used in the course of a qualifying infrastructure activity carried on by the company or by an associated qualifying infrastructure company.
9
For the purposes of this section the reference to the value of an asset recognised in an appropriate balance sheet of a company on a day is to the value which is, or would be, recognised in a balance sheet of the company drawn up on that day.
10
A company is not to be taken as failing to meet the public infrastructure assets test for an accounting period if, ignoring this subsection, that test would have been failed on a particular day or days merely as a result of particular circumstances—
a
which existed, and
b
which were always intended to exist,
for a temporary period of an insignificant duration.
11
A company is fully taxed in the United Kingdom in an accounting period if—
a
every
source of income that the company has
at any time in the accounting period is within the charge to corporation tax,
b
the company has not made an election under section 18A of CTA 2009 (exemption for profits or losses of foreign permanent establishments) that has effect for the accounting period, and
c
the company has not made a claim for relief under Chapter 2 of Part 2 (double taxation relief) for the accounting period.
12
In determining whether the condition in subsection (11)(a) is met in the case of a company not resident in the United Kingdom in an accounting period, a source of income of the company is ignored if, having regard to all the circumstances, it is reasonable to regard as insignificant the amount of income arising in the accounting period from the source.

Elections under section 433
434
1
An election under section 433—
a
must be made before
the end
of the accounting period in relation to which it is to have effect, and
b
has effect in relation to that accounting period and all subsequent accounting periods (subject to subsections (2) to (4)).
2
An election under section 433 may be revoked.
3
A revocation of an election under section 433—
a
must be made before the beginning of the accounting period from which the revocation is to have effect, but
b
cannot have effect in relation to any accounting period that begins before the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the first day of the first accounting period in relation to which the election had effect.
4
Once revoked, a fresh election may be made under section 433 but cannot have effect in relation to any accounting period that begins before the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the first day of the accounting period from which the revocation had effect.
5
If—
a
a qualifying infrastructure company transfers to another company a business, or a part of a business, that consists of the carrying on of qualifying infrastructure activities,
ab
the time of the transfer falls in a period of account of a worldwide group of which both the transferor and transferee are members,
and
b
the transferee has not made an election under section 433 that has effect for the accounting period in which the transfer takes place,
the transferee is to be treated as if it had made the election under that section that the transferor had made.
6
If a company has made an election under section 433 that has effect in relation to an accounting period, the company—
a
may not make an election under section 18A of CTA 2009 that has effect for the accounting period, and
b
may not make a claim for relief under Chapter 2 of Part 2 for the accounting period.

Group elections modifying the operation of sections 433 and 434
435
1
Two or more companies which are members of the same worldwide group
, and have each made an election under section 433,
may jointly make an election under this section modifying the operation of sections 433 and 434 in relation to them for the times during which they remain members of that group.
2
An election under this section—
aa
must be made before the end of the earliest elected accounting period (see subsection (11));
a
has effect from a date specified in the election
, which may not be before the first day of the earliest elected accounting period
;
b
may be revoked jointly by the members of the group in relation to which the election has effect from a date specified in the revocation;
c
ceases to have effect in relation to a company which gives a notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs, and to the companies in relation to which the election has effect, notifying them of its withdrawal from the election from a date specified in the notice.
3
A date specified in
a revocation
or notice may not be before the date on which it is made or given.
4
An election under this section which has effect at particular times (“relevant times”) in relation to particular companies (“elected companies”) modifies the operation of sections 433 and 434 as follows.
5
If an elected company (“C”) has made an election under section 433 which has effect for an accounting period that includes relevant times, that section has effect as if, in determining whether anything is insignificant for the purposes of section 433(2), (4), (5) or (7), C also had the income and assets that the other elected companies had at those times.
6
If—
a
an elected company (“C”) has made an election under section 433 which has effect for an accounting period including relevant times, and
b
C fails to meet one or more of the tests in subsection (1)(a) to (c) of that section in relation to that accounting period otherwise than as a result of this subsection,
all the other elected companies are also treated as failing to meeting those tests for so much of their accounting periods as consists of the relevant times in the accounting period of C.
7
If, in a case where subsection (6) applies, the deemed failed period does not coincide with an accounting period of another elected company (“E”), the accounting period of E is treated for the purposes of this Part as if it consisted of separate accounting periods beginning and ending at such times as secure that none of the separate accounting periods fall partly within the deemed failed period.
8
For this purpose “
the deemed failed period
” means the period consisting of the relevant times in the accounting period of C mentioned in subsection (6).
9
All such apportionments as are necessary for the purposes of, or in consequence of, subsections (5) to (7) are to be made on a just and reasonable basis.
10
If—
a
elected companies have made elections under section 433 which have effect for accounting periods including relevant times, and
b
more than half of those elected companies have each made an election under that section that has had effect for a period of at least 5 years,
section 434(3)(b) does not apply in relation to any of the elected companies.
11
The “earliest elected accounting period” is the accounting period which—
a
is the first elected accounting period of an elected company, and
b
begins no later than the first elected accounting period of each other elected company.
12
For the purposes of subsection (11), the “first elected accounting period” of an elected company is the first of the company’s accounting periods in relation to which the election is to have effect.
13
If there is more than one earliest elected accounting period under subsection (11) and those periods (the “relevant periods”) do not all end on the same date, the “earliest elected accounting period” is the relevant period that ends no later than each of the other relevant periods.

Meaning of “qualifying infrastructure activity”
436
1
For the purposes of this Chapter a company carries on a “qualifying infrastructure activity” if the company—
a
provides an asset that is a public infrastructure asset in relation to it (see subsections (2) and (5)), or
b
carries on any other activity that is ancillary to, or facilitates, the provision of an asset that is a public infrastructure asset in relation to it.
2
For the purposes of this Chapter an asset is a “
public infrastructure asset
” in relation to a company at any time if—
a
the asset is, or is to be, a tangible asset forming part of the infrastructure of the United Kingdom or the
UK
sector of the continental shelf,
b
the asset meets the public benefit test (see subsections (3) and (4)),
c
the asset has had, has or is likely to have an expected economic life of at least 10 years, and
d
the asset meets the group balance sheet test
(see subsections (10) and (10A))
in relation to the company.
3
An asset meets the “public benefit test” if—
a
the asset is, or is to be, procured by a relevant public body, or
b
the asset is, or is to be, used in the course of a regulated activity.
4
An asset is used in the course of a “regulated activity” if its use—
a
is regulated by an infrastructure authority (see section 437(2)), or
b
could be regulated by an infrastructure authority if the authority exercised any of its powers.
5
For the purposes of this Chapter a building, or part of a building, is also a “
public infrastructure asset
” in relation to a company at any time if—
a
the building or part is, or is to be, let on a short-term basis —
i
within a UK property business carried on by the company, or another member of the worldwide group of which it is a member at that time, and
ii
to persons who, at that time, are not related parties of the company or member.
c
the building or part has had, has or is likely to have an expected economic life of at least 10 years, and
d
the building or part meets the group balance sheet test in relation to the company.
5A
But a building, or part of a building, is not a public infrastructure asset in relation to a company at a particular time if, were the building or part to be disposed of at that time, profits arising from the disposal would be charged to corporation tax as profits of a trade.
6
A building, or part of a building, is “let” to a person if the person is entitled to the use of the building or part under a lease or other arrangement.
7
A building, or part of a building, is let on a “short-term basis” if the lease or other arrangement in question—
a
has an effective duration which is 50 years or less, and
b
is not an arrangement to which any provision of Chapter 2 of Part 16 of CTA 2010 applies (finance arrangements).
8
Whether or not a lease or other arrangement has an effective duration which is 50 years or less is determined in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 4 of CTA 2009 (reading any reference to a lease as a reference to a lease or other arrangement within subsection (6)).

Exemption and related provision

Exemption for interest payable to third parties etc
438
1
Amounts that arise to a qualifying infrastructure company in a relevant accounting period are not to be regarded for the purposes of this Part as tax-interest expense amounts of the company so far as they qualify as exempt amounts in that period (see subsections (2) and (3)).
2
An amount qualifies as an exempt amount so far as it is attributable, on a just and reasonable apportionment, to the times in the relevant accounting period when—
a
each creditor in relation to the amount is within subsection (3) or the amount is in respect of a qualifying old loan relationship (see section 439), and
b
the recourse of each creditor in relation to the amount is limited to relevant infrastructure matters (see subsections (4) to (6)).
3
A creditor is within this subsection if—
a
the creditor is not a related party of the company, or
b
the creditor is a company which is a qualifying infrastructure company,
but section 466(2) does not apply for the purposes of paragraph (a).
4
The recourse of a creditor is limited to relevant infrastructure matters if, in the event that the company fails to perform its obligations in question, the recourse of the creditor is limited to—
a
income of a qualifying infrastructure company,
b
assets of a qualifying infrastructure company, or
c
shares in or debt issued by a qualifying infrastructure company,
whether the income, assets, shares or debt relate to the company concerned or another qualifying infrastructure company.
5
For the purposes of subsection (4) a guarantee, indemnity or other financial assistance in favour of the creditor is ignored if—
a
it is provided before 1 April 2017, or
b
it is provided at any later time by a person who, at that time, is not a related party of the company or is a relevant public body.
5A
For the purposes of subsection (4) a guarantee, indemnity or other financial assistance in favour of the creditor is also ignored if—
a
it is provided before 29 October 2018,
b
the company concerned has not been UK resident at any time before that date, and
c
the amount concerned is in respect of a loan relationship, derivative contract or relevant arrangement or transaction (within the meaning of section 382(4)) to which the member in question is a party for the purposes of its UK property business.
6
For the purposes of subsection (4) a non-financial guarantee in favour of the creditor is ignored if—
a
it guarantees the performance by any person of contractual obligations to provide goods or services to a qualifying infrastructure company,
b
it is given by the person providing the goods or services or by a person who is a related party of that person, and
c
the maximum amount for which the guarantor is liable does not exceed the consideration given under the contract for the provision of the goods or services.
7
In this section “
creditor
” means—
a
if the amount meets condition A in section 382, the person who is party to the loan relationship as creditor,
b
if the amount meets condition B in that section, the person other than the company who is party to the derivative contract, and
c
if the amount meets condition C in that section, the person other than the company who is party to the relevant arrangement or transaction.

Application of section 438: certain creditors treated as qualifying infrastructure companies
438A
1
This section applies where—
a
a company (“
C
”), at a time in the period mentioned in subsection (1) of section 438—
i
is a member of the worldwide group of which the qualifying infrastructure company mentioned in that subsection is a member, but
ii
is not a UK group company; and
b
C is a creditor in relation to an amount which—
i
is a relevant loan relationship debit (as defined in section 383) for the debtor company, or
ii
would be a relevant loan relationship debit if the debtor company were UK resident.
2
For the purposes of section 438, C is treated in relation to the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(b) (the “relevant loan amount”) as a qualifying infrastructure company if—
a
throughout the period mentioned in section 438(1), C—
i
meets the public infrastructure income test for the accounting period (see subsections (2) to (4) of section 433) and subsection (3) of this section), and
ii
meets the public infrastructure assets test for the accounting period (see subsections (5) to (10) of that section and subsection (4) of this section),
(but does not satisfy the conditions in subsection (1)(c) and (d) of section 433);
b
the loan to which the relevant loan amount relates (the “relevant loan”) is fully funded by another loan (the “corresponding loan”) made to C for that purpose and on substantially the same terms as the relevant loan; and
c
amounts arising to C in respect of the corresponding loan would, if section 438(2) applied to C, qualify as “exempt amounts” within the meaning of that subsection.
3
For the purposes of subsection (2)(a)(i), C is also treated as meeting the public infrastructure income test for an accounting period if all, or all but an insignificant proportion, of its income for the period derives from—
a
anything listed in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of section 433(2),
b
shares in, or debt issued by, a company that meets the test in section 433(2) for that period,
c
shares in or debt issued by a company that is treated as meeting the public infrastructure income test for that period by reason of this subsection.
4
For the purposes of subsection (2)(a)(ii), C is also treated as meeting the public infrastructure assets test for an accounting period if all, or all but an insignificant proportion, of the total value of the company's assets recognised in an appropriate balance sheet on each day in that period derives from—
a
anything listed in any of paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 433(5),
b
shares in, or debt issued by, a company that meets the test in section 433(5) for that period,
c
shares in or debt issued by a company that is treated as meeting the public infrastructure assets test for that period by reason of this subsection.
5
For the purposes of determining whether amounts arising to C would qualify as exempt amounts under section 438(2) (for the purposes of subsection (2)(c) of this section), the recourse of a creditor is treated as being limited to relevant infrastructure matters if, in the event that C fails to perform its obligations in question, the recourse of the creditor is limited to—
a
anything listed in paragraphs (a) to (c) of section 438(4),
b
shares in or debt issued by a company whose income and assets consist wholly of income and assets within those paragraphs,
c
shares in or debt issued by a company whose income and assets consist wholly of income and assets within paragraphs (a) or (b) of this subsection, or
d
shares in or debt issued by a company whose income and assets consists wholly of income and assets within paragraphs (a) to (c) of this subsection, and so on.
6
For the purposes of subsection (5), in determining whether a company’s income and assets consists wholly of income and assets of a particular description, any source of income or any asset is ignored if, having regard to all the circumstances, it is reasonable to regard as insignificant the amount of income arising from the source, or (as the case may be) the value of the asset recognised, in the accounting period.

Exemption in respect of certain pre-13 May 2016 loan relationships
439
1
A loan relationship is a “qualifying old loan relationship” of a qualifying infrastructure company if—
a
the company entered into the loan relationship on or before 12 May 2016, and
b
as at that date, at least 80% of the total value of the company's future qualifying infrastructure receipts for the qualifying period was highly predictable by reference to qualifying public contracts,
but see subsection (8) for cases where a loan relationship is not a qualifying old loan relationship of the company.
2
For the purposes of this section “
the qualifying period
” means—
a
in a case where the loan relationship would cease to subsist at any time before 12 May 2026 (if any amendments of the loan relationship made on or after 12 May 2016 are ignored), the period beginning with 12 May 2016 and ending with that time, and
b
in any other case, the period of 10 years beginning with 12 May 2016.
3
For the purposes of this section “
qualifying infrastructure receipts
”, in relation to a company (“C”), means—
a
receipts arising from qualifying infrastructure activities carried on by C, and
b
such proportion of the receipts arising from qualifying infrastructure activities carried on by another company as, on a just and reasonable basis, is attributable to C's interests in the other company (whether direct or indirect) arising as a result of shares or loans ,
but ignoring amounts that represent the reimbursement of expenses incurred by C or the other company.
4
For the purposes of this section receipts are highly predictable by reference to qualifying public contracts so far as their value can be predicted with a high degree of certainty because—
a
the amounts of the receipts are fixed by a qualifying public contract, and
b
the factors affecting the volume of receipts are fixed by a qualifying public contract or are otherwise capable of being predicted with a high degree of certainty.
5
For this purpose any provision of a qualifying public contract (however expressed) that adjusts the amount of a receipt for changes in the general level of prices or earnings is to be ignored.
6
For the purposes of this section a contract is a “qualifying public contract” if—
a
it was entered into at any time on or before 12 May 2016 and, as at that time, it was expected to have effect for at least 10 years, and
b
it was entered into either with a relevant public body or following bids made in an auction conducted by a relevant public body.
7
If a qualifying old loan relationship is amended after 12 May 2016 so as to increase the amount lent or extend the period for which the relationship is to subsist—
a
section 438 is to have effect as if none of those amendments were made (and, accordingly, the exemption under that section has no effect in relation to the increase in the amount or the period of the extension), and
b
such apportionments of amounts in respect of the relationship are to be made as are just and reasonable.
8
A loan relationship to which a qualifying infrastructure company is a party at any time is not a qualifying old loan relationship of the company at that or any subsequent time if, on the relevant assumptions, the condition in subsection (1)(b) would not have been met.
9
The relevant assumptions are that—
a
the assets held by the company at that time were the only assets that the company held on 12 May 2016,
b
the assets held at that time by any other company in which it has interests (whether direct or indirect) arising as a result of shares or loans were the only assets that the other company held on 12 May 2016, and
c
a qualifying infrastructure receipt could not be regarded as highly predictable if, on 12 May 2016, the public infrastructure asset in question did not exist or was not in the course of being constructed or converted.
10
For the purposes of this section the value of a receipt on 12 May 2016 is taken to be its present value on that date, discounted using a rate that can reasonably be regarded as one that, in accordance with normal commercial criteria, is appropriate for the purpose.
11
In this section “
receipts
” means receipts of a revenue nature.

Loans etc made by qualifying infrastructure companies to be ignored
440
1
This section applies where—
a
a company is a qualifying infrastructure company throughout an accounting period, and
b
the company would (but for this section) have had tax-interest income amounts in the accounting period.
2
For the purposes of this Part, the company is treated as if it did not have any tax-interest income amounts in the accounting period.

Tax-EBITDA of qualifying infrastructure company to be nil
441
1
This section applies where a company is a qualifying infrastructure company throughout an accounting period.
2
For the purposes of this Part, the tax-EBITDA of the company for the accounting period is nil.

Amounts of qualifying infrastructure company left out of account for other purposes
442
1
This section applies where a company is a qualifying infrastructure company throughout a relevant accounting period.
2
In calculating—
a
the adjusted net group-interest expense of the worldwide group for the period of account concerned, or
b
the qualifying net group-interest expense of the worldwide group for the period of account concerned,
amounts that are exempt amounts of the company under section 438, or are treated as mentioned in section 440, are to be left out of account.
3
For the purposes of this Part the group EBITDA of the worldwide group for the period of account concerned is to be calculated as if the group did not include the company in respect of the relevant accounting period.

Interest capacity for group with qualifying infrastructure company etc
443
1
If a worldwide group for a period of account includes a qualifying infrastructure company at any time, the general rule is that the interest capacity of the group for the period is calculated as if section 392 did not contain the de minimis provisions.
2
There is an exception to the general rule (see subsections (4) and (5)) which—
a
applies if no tax-interest income amounts of any qualifying infrastructure company (“Q”) which is a member of the group for the period are receivable from another qualifying infrastructure company which is not a member of the group for the period but is a related party of Q at any time in that period, and
b
depends on the comparison set out in subsection (3),
and, for the purposes of paragraph (a), tax-interest income amounts are to be ignored if, having regard to all the circumstances, it is reasonable to regard the amounts as insignificant.
3
The following amounts must be compared with each other—
a
the total disallowed amount of the group in the period calculated as if this Chapter (including subsection (1) of this section but ignoring the remainder of it) were contained in this Part (“the Chapter 8 amount”), and
b
the total disallowed amount of the group in the period calculated as if this Chapter were not contained in this Part and as if section 392 contained only the de minimis provisions (“the ordinary amount”).
4
If the Chapter 8 amount exceeds the ordinary amount, the interest capacity of the worldwide group for the period is taken to be the de minimis amount (as defined by 392(3)).
5
If the interest capacity of the worldwide group for the period is given by subsection (4), nothing else in this Chapter has effect in relation to the worldwide group for the period.
6
For the purposes of this section the reference to section 392 not containing the de minimis provisions is a reference to that section not containing subsections (2) and (3) of that section.
7
For the purposes of this section the reference to section 392 containing only the de minimis provisions is a reference to that section having effect as if for subsections (1) and (2) of that section there were substituted—
1
For the purposes of this Part the “interest capacity” of a worldwide group for a period of account of the group is the de minimis amount.

Supplementary

Joint venture companies
444
1
This section makes modifications of this Part in relation to an accounting period of a qualifying infrastructure company (“the joint venture company”)
which is the ultimate parent of a worldwide group at all times in that period
where—
a
one or more qualifying infrastructure companies (“the qualifying investor or investors”) have shares in the joint venture company,
b
other persons (“the other investors”) who are not qualifying infrastructure companies have all the other shares in the joint venture company,
c
each of the investors (that is to say, the qualifying investor or investors and the other investors) has lent money to the joint venture company,
d
the amounts each of the investors has lent stand in the same, or substantially the same, proportion as the shares in the joint venture company that each of them has,
e
at all times in the accounting period the investors have the same rights in relation to the shares in or assets of the joint venture company and the same rights in relation to the money debt or debts in question, and
f
the joint venture company makes an election for the purposes of this section that has effect for the accounting period (but see section 445 for further provision about elections).
2
Section 401 has effect as if the qualifying investor or investors were not investors in the group for times in the accounting period falling in the relevant period of account.
3
Section 427 has effect as if, in determining the appropriate proportion in relation to an associated worldwide group, it is assumed that the qualifying investor or investors were not investors in the group for times in the accounting period falling in the relevant period of account.
4
In consequence of subsection (2) or (3), the shares of the qualifying investor or investors in the group are treated as distributed for times in the accounting period falling in the relevant period of account among the other investors in proportion to the actual shares of the other investors in the group.
5
For the purposes of section 438 there is a reduction in any amount that would otherwise qualify as an exempt amount in the accounting period where—
a
the exemption operates by reference to creditors being within subsection (3) of that section, and
b
the creditor in relation to the amount is not an investor.
6
The amount qualifying as an exempt amount is to be reduced so that only the qualifying proportion of it qualifies.
7
For the purposes of this section—
- “
the qualifying proportion
” means the proportion of the shares that the qualifying investor or investors have in the joint venture company in the accounting period, and
- “
the non-qualifying proportion
” means the proportion of the shares that the other investors have in the joint venture company in the accounting period.
8
The treatment mentioned in section 440(2) is to extend only to the qualifying proportion of the tax-interest income amounts in the accounting period.
9
Section 441(2) has effect as if the tax-EBITDA of the company for the accounting period were the amount determined as follows.
- Step 1
Find the tax-EBIDTA of the company for the accounting period if section 441 were ignored.
- Step 2
The tax-EBITDA of the company for the accounting period is equal to the non-qualifying proportion of that amount.
10
Section 442(3) has effect as if for the words “the group did not include the company” there were substituted
“ amounts of the company were limited to the non-qualifying proportion of those amounts ”
.

Joint venture groups
445
1
This section applies if the joint venture company is the ultimate parent of a multi-company worldwide group at any time in the accounting period.
2
An election made by the joint venture company under section 444 in relation to the accounting period is of no effect unless all the other members of the group—
a
are qualifying infrastructure companies for the accounting period,
b
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the joint venture company throughout the accounting period, and
c
have the same accounting periods as the joint venture company.
3
In determining whether the conditions in section 444(1)(c) to (e) are met in relation to the accounting period of the joint venture company, any loans made to any of the other members of the group are treated as if they were made to the joint venture company.
4
If the joint venture company makes an election under section 444 for the accounting period, the modifications made by subsections (5) to (10) of that section are also to apply in relation to each of the other members of the group.

Joint ventures: supplementary

If—
a
the joint venture company makes an election under section 444 in relation to an accounting period,

that company, or any member of the worldwide group of which it is a member, is the creditor for the purposes of section 438 in any case, and
c
the company mentioned in that section in that case is a not a member of that group at any time in the accounting period,
section 438 has effect in that case as if subsection (3)(b) were of no effect in relation to that time.

a
provision is in force at that time in respect of any of the relevant matters that differs in relation to different persons or has, or is capable of having, a different effect in relation to different persons (whether at that or any subsequent time),
b
arrangements are in place at that time the effect of which is that, at that or any subsequent time, the rights of some persons in relation to any of the relevant matters differ, or will or may differ, from the rights of others in relation to the matters in question, or
c
any other circumstances exist at that time as a result of which the rights of some persons in relation to any of the relevant matters cannot reasonably be regarded as being, in substance, the same rights as others in relation to the matters in question at that or any subsequent time.
4
In this section—
a
“
the relevant matters
” means the shares in or assets of the joint venture company or the money debt or debts in question,
b

5
Subsections (2) to (4) apply (with any necessary modifications) in relation to transparent entities that are not partnerships as they apply in relation to partnerships.
6
For the purposes of this section an entity is “transparent” if—

b
it is a collective investment vehicle which is “
transparent for income tax purposes
” for the purposes of paragraph 8 of Schedule 5AAA to TCGA 1992 (see paragraph 8(7) of that Schedule).

the property rental business company and the residual business company are at all times to be regarded as separate members of the same worldwide group (despite the provisions of section 541(3) of CTA 2010), but
b
in the case of the application of section 433 (qualifying infrastructure company), the property rental business company and the residual business company are to be regarded as being one company (and any election (or its revocation) is, therefore, regarded as made by each company).
4
This Part has effect as if—
a
section 534(1) and (2) of CTA 2010, and
b
section 535(1) and (5)
, or section 535A(2),
of CTA 2010,
do not apply in relation to the property rental business company for the accounting period
(and, accordingly, the profits mentioned in section 534(1) or (2) of CTA 2010 are not calculated for the purposes of this Part in accordance with section 599 of that Act)
.
4A
An amount charged on the residual business company as a result of section 543 of CTA 2010 (excessive property financing costs) is treated for the purposes of this Part as if it met condition A, B, C or D for the purposes of section 385 (tax-interest income amounts).
5
The allocated disallowance for the property rental business company (if any) for the accounting period—
a
is to be taken into account in calculating the profits of the property rental business for the purposes of section 530 of CTA 2010 (condition as to distribution of profits), but
b
must be limited to such amount as secures that neither subsection (3)(b) nor subsection (5) of that section (distribution of profits not required if would result in unlawful distribution) applies.
6
This subsection—
a
sets out steps to be taken in order to facilitate the operation of Chapter 2 (disallowance and reactivation of tax-interest expense amounts), and
b
has effect in relation to an accounting period of the residual business company whether or not it has net tax-interest expense referable to that period.
If the residual business company does not have net tax-interest expense referable to that period, it is treated for the purposes of steps 1 to 4 in the rest of this subsection as if it had instead a nil amount of tax-interest expense referable to that period.
- Step 1
Determine the maximum amount that could be the allocated disallowance for the property rental business company for the accounting period if subsection (5) were ignored and the maximum amount that could be the allocated disallowance for the residual business company for the accounting period (ignoring step 5). The sum of those maximum amounts is referred to in this subsection as “the total REIT expenses”.
- Step 2
Determine the amount (if any) that is the allocated disallowance for the property rental business for the accounting period, applying subsection (5) and all other rules in this Part. This amount is referred to in this subsection as “the actual disallowed amount”.
- Step 3
Deduct from the total REIT expenses the actual disallowed amount.
- Step 4
Determine whether so much of the total REIT expenses as remains after step 3 exceeds the net tax-interest expense of the residual business company referable to the accounting period (ignoring step 5).
- Step 5
If the application of step 4 produces an excess, the residual business company is required to bring into account in the accounting period matching tax-interest expense and income amounts in accordance with the following provisions of this section.
7
The residual business company—
a
must bring a tax-interest expense amount equal to the excess into account in the accounting period, and
b
must bring a tax-interest income amount equal to the excess into account in the accounting period,
but nothing in this subsection affects any calculation required under any other provision of this Part in relation to the accounting period of the residual business company.
8
The bringing into account of a tax-interest expense amount under subsection (7) is subject to the operation of the other provisions of this Part (which may result in some or all of the amount not being brought into account).
9
The tax-interest expense amount under subsection (7) must be matched in amount and nature to an amount comprised in the total REIT expenses.
Section 377(2) to (4) (which, subject to an election made by the company, set out the order in which amounts are left out of account) apply for the purposes of this subsection.
10
The tax-interest expense or income amounts under subsection (7) are treated as being of the same nature as each other.
11
An interest restriction return—
a
must, in relation to any company carrying on residual business or property rental business, specify that fact, and
b
must contain information about how the return has taken into account the effect of this section.
12
Expressions which are used in this section and in Part 12 of CTA 2010 have the same meaning in this section as they have in that Part.

b
any reference in this Part to a derivative contract is to be read as if subsection (3) of section 226 of FA 1994 (which provides that relevant contracts forming part of a premium trust fund are not derivative contracts) were omitted.

A company may elect for all of its creditor relationships which are dealt with on the basis of fair value accounting (“fair-value creditor relationships”) to be subject to the provision made by this section for all of its accounting periods.
2
For the purpose of calculating under this Part—
a
tax-interest expense amounts of the company, and
b
tax-interest income amounts of the company,
the relevant loan relationship debits and relevant loan relationship credits in respect of the company's fair-value creditor relationships are instead to be determined for the accounting periods on an amortised cost basis of accounting.
3
If—
a
a company has a hedging relationship between a relevant contract (“the hedging instrument”) and the asset representing a loan relationship subject to the election, and
b
the loan relationship is dealt with in the company's accounts on the basis of fair value accounting,
it is to be assumed in applying the amortised cost basis of accounting that the hedging instrument has where possible been designated for accounting purposes as a fair value hedge of the loan relationship.
4
An election under this section—
a
must be made before the end of 12 months from the end of the relevant accounting period,
b
has effect for that accounting period and all subsequent accounting periods, and

b
if that accounting period has ended before 1 April 2017, the first accounting period in relation to which any provision of this Part applies.
6
In this section “
amortised cost basis of accounting
”, in relation to an accounting period, has the same meaning as in Part 5 of CTA 2009 (see section 313), but, in the case of creditor relationships relating to insurance activities, as if that basis of accounting required recognition only of—
a
interest accrued for the period in respect of the creditor relationships, or
b
if the creditor relationships arise as a result of section 490 of CTA 2009 (OEICs, unit trusts and offshore funds), amounts that can reasonably be regarded as equating to interest accrued for the period in respect of those relationships.
7
In subsection (6) “
creditor relationships relating to insurance activities
” means creditor relationships which—
a
are held by an insurance company, a friendly society within the meaning of Part 3 of FA 2012 (see section 172) or a body corporate which carries on underwriting business as a member of Lloyd's, or

a
the company must bring a debit equal to the amount of the notional debits into account in the accounting period, and
b
the company must bring a credit equal to the amount of the notional debits into account in the accounting period,
but nothing in this subsection affects any calculation required under any other provision of this Part in relation to the accounting period of the company.
3
The bringing into account of a debit under subsection (2)(a) is subject to the operation of the other provisions of this Part (which may result in some or all of the debit not being brought into account).
4
The debits and credits under subsection (2) are of the same nature as the notional debits that give rise to them.
5
For the purposes of this section a debit is a “notional debit” if the debit is created as a result of the determination required by the election or so far as the amount of the debit is increased as a result of that determination.

is supplemented by sections 464 and 465 (which contain provisions that have effect for the purposes of that section).
3
Sections 466 and 467 make provision for treating persons as if they were related parties of each other but only in relation to certain matters.
4
Sections 468 to 472—
a

b
the same person or persons directly or indirectly participate in the management, control or capital of each of the relevant parties.
5
For the interpretation of subsection (4), see sections 157(1), 158(4), 159(1) and 160(1) (which have the effect that references in that subsection to direct or indirect participation are to be read in accordance with provisions of Chapter 2 of Part 4).
6
If one of the relevant parties is a securitisation company within the meaning of Chapter 4 of Part 13 of CTA 2010, the relevant parties are not to be regarded as related parties of each other as a result of subsection (4) merely by reference to the fact that—
a
the securitisation company is held by a trustee of a settlement, and
b
the other relevant party is a settlor in relation to that settlement.
7
The 25% investment condition is met in relation to A and B if—
a
one of them has a 25% investment in the other, or
b
a third person has a 25% investment in each of them.
8
Sections 464 and 465 apply for the purpose of determining whether a person has a “25% investment” in another person.

Meaning of “25% investment”
464
1
A person (“P”) has a 25% investment in another person (“C”) if—
a
P possesses or is entitled to acquire 25% or more of the voting power in C,
b
in the event of a disposal of the whole of the equity in C, P would receive 25% or more of the proceeds,
c
in the event that the income in respect of the equity in C were distributed among the equity holders in C, P would receive 25% or more of the amount so distributed, or
d
in the event of a winding-up of C or in any other circumstances, P would receive 25% or more of C's assets which would then be available for distribution among the equity holders in C in respect of the equity in C.
2
In this section references to the equity in C are to—
a
the shares in C other than restricted preference shares, or
b
loans to C other than normal commercial loans.
3
For this purpose “
shares in C
” includes—
a
stock, and
b
any other interests of members in C.
4
For the purposes of this section a person is an equity holder in C if the person possesses any of the equity in C.
5
For the purposes of this section—
- “
normal commercial loan
” means a loan which is a normal commercial loan for the purposes of section 158(1)(b) or 159(4)(b) of CTA 2010, and
- “
restricted preference shares
” means shares which are restricted preference shares for the purposes of section 160 of CTA 2010.
6
In applying for the purposes of this section the definitions of “normal commercial loan” and “restricted preference shares” in a case where—
a
C is not a company, or
b
C is a company which does not have share capital,
sections 160(2) to (7) and 161 to 164 of CTA 2010 (and any other relevant provisions of that Act) have effect with the necessary modifications.
7
In this section references to a person receiving any proceeds, amount or assets include—
a
the direct or indirect receipt of the proceeds, amount or assets, and
b
the direct or indirect application of the proceeds, amount or assets for the person's benefit,
and it does not matter whether the receipt or application is at the time of the disposal, distribution, winding-up or other circumstances or at a later time.
8
If—
a
there is a direct receipt or direct application of any proceeds, amount or assets by or for the benefit of a person (“A”), and
b
another person (“B”) directly or indirectly owns a percentage of the equity in A,
there is, for the purposes of subsection (7), an indirect receipt or indirect application of that percentage of the proceeds, amount or assets by or for the benefit of B.
9
For this purpose the percentage of the equity in A directly or indirectly owned by B is to be determined by applying the rules in sections 1155 to 1157 of CTA 2010 with such modifications (if any) as may be necessary.
10
Subsection (7) is not to result in a person being regarded as having a 25% investment in another person merely as a result of their being parties to a normal commercial loan.
11
Any reference in this section, in the case of a person who is a member of a partnership, to the proceeds, amount or assets of the person includes the person's share of the proceeds, amount or assets of the partnership (apportioning those things between the partners on a just and reasonable basis).

Attribution of rights and interests
465
1
In determining for the purposes of section 464 the investment that a person (“P”) has in another person, P is to be taken to have all of the rights and interests of—
a
any person connected with P,
b
any person who is a member of a partnership, or is connected with a person who is member of a partnership, of which P is a member, or
c
any person who is a member of a partnership, or is connected with a person who is a member of a partnership, of which a person connected with P is a member.
2
For the purposes of subsection (1)—
a
section 1122 of CTA 2010 (“connected” persons) applies but as if subsections (7) and (8) of that section were omitted, but
b
a person is not to be regarded as connected with another person merely as a result of their being parties to a loan that is a normal commercial loan for the purposes of section 464.
3
In determining for the purposes of section 464 the investment that a person (“P”) has in another person (“U”), P is to be taken to have all of the rights and interests of a third person (“T”) with whom P acts together in relation to U.
4
For this purpose P “acts together” with T in relation to U if (and only if)—
a
for the purpose of influencing the conduct of U's affairs—
i
P is able to secure that T acts in accordance with P's wishes (or vice versa), or
ii
T can reasonably be expected to act, or typically acts, in accordance with P's wishes (or vice versa),
b
P and T are party to an arrangement that it is reasonable to conclude is designed to affect the value of any equity in U possessed by T, or
c
the same person manages some or all of any equity in U possessed by P and T.
In paragraphs (b) and (c) references to equity in U are to be read in accordance with section 464.
5
But P does not “act together” with T in relation to U under subsection (4)(c) if—
a
the managing person does so as the operator of different collective investment schemes, and
b
the management of the schemes is not coordinated for the purpose of influencing the conduct of U's affairs.
6
For this purpose “
collective investment scheme
” and “
operator
” have the same meaning as in Part 17 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (see sections 235 and 237).
7
In determining for the purposes of section 464 the investment that a person (“P”) has in another person (“U”), P is to be taken to have all of the rights and interests of one or more third persons with whom P has entered into a qualifying arrangement in relation to U.
8
For this purpose P has entered into a qualifying arrangement with one or more third persons in relation to U if they are parties to an arrangement concerning U as a result of which, by reference to shares held, or to be held, by any one or more of them in U, they can reasonably be expected to act together—
a
so as to exert greater influence in relation to U than any one of them would be able to exert if acting alone, or
b
otherwise so as to be able to achieve an outcome in relation to U that, if attempted by any one of them acting alone, would be significantly more difficult to achieve.
9
For this purpose the reference to shares in U includes shares in U that may be held as a result of the exercise of any right or power and includes rights or interests in U that are of a similar character to shares.
10
In this section “
arrangement
” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

Certain loan relationships etc to be treated as made between related parties
466
1
This section—
a
makes provision for treating a person (“D”) who is not a related party of another person (“C”) as if they were related parties of each other but only in respect of particular liabilities or transactions, and
b
is expressed to apply in relation to loan relationships but also applies (with any necessary modifications) in relation to any other financial liability owed to, or any transaction with, C.
2
If at any time—
a
D is party to a loan relationship as debtor and C is party to the relationship as creditor, and
b
another person (“G”) who is a related party of D provides a guarantee, indemnity or other financial assistance in respect of the liability of D that represents the loan relationship,
D and C are treated for the purposes of this Part as if, in relation to the loan relationship concerned (and anything done under or for the purposes of it), they were related parties of each other at that time.
3
Subsection (2) is subject to—
a
section 415 (qualifying net group-interest expense), and
b
section 438(3) (infrastructure: interest payable to third parties
etc
).
4
If at any time—
a
D is party to a loan relationship as debtor and C is party to the relationship as creditor, and
b
another person (“G”) who is a related party of D indirectly stands in the position of a creditor as respects the debt in question by reference to a series of loan relationships or other arrangements,
D and C are treated for the purposes of this Part as if, in relation to the loan relationship concerned (and anything done under or for the purposes of it), they were related parties of each other at that time.
5
For the purposes of this section “arrangements” include any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

Holdings of debt and equity in same proportions
467

This section applies at any time where—
a
persons have lent money to another person (“U”),
b
the lenders also have shares or voting power in U,
c
the amounts each of the lenders has lent stand in the same, or substantially the same, proportion as the shares or voting power in U that each of them has, and
d
for the purposes of section 464 the lenders (taken together) have a 25% investment in U.
2
The lenders are treated for the purposes of this Part as if, in relation to the loans (and anything done under or for the purposes of them), they were related parties of U at that time (so far as that would not otherwise be the case).
3
If—
a

a
authorise the extraction, and
b
are held by that person.
4
Activities of a person in transporting, or causing to be transported for that person, oil extracted at any such place not on dry land under rights which—
a
authorise the extraction, and
b
are held by that person,
if the transportation meets condition A or B (see subsections (6) and (7)).
5
Activities of a person in effecting, or causing to be effected for that person, the initial treatment or initial storage of oil won from any oil field under rights which—
a
authorise its extraction, and
b
are held by that person.
6
Condition A is that the transportation is to the place where the oil is first landed in the United Kingdom.
7
Condition B is that the transportation—
a
is to the place in the United Kingdom, or
b

at which the seller in a sale at arm's length could reasonably be expected to deliver it (or, if there is more than one such place, the one nearest to the place of extraction).
8
The definition of “initial storage” in section 12(1) of OTA 1975 applies for the purposes of this section.
9
But in its application for those purposes in relation to the person mentioned in subsection (5) and to oil won from any one oil field, that definition is to have effect as if the reference to the maximum daily production rate of oil for the field mentioned in that definition were to a share of that maximum daily production rate proportionate to that person's share of the oil won from that field.
10
In this section “initial treatment” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (see section 12(1) of that Act).

Meaning of “oil rights”

Meaning of “ring fence income”
225C
In this Chapter “ring fence income” means income arising from oil extraction activities or oil rights.

Meaning of “ring fence trade”
225D
In this Chapter “ring fence trade” means activities which—
a
are within the definition of “oil-related activities” in section 16(2) (oil extraction and related activities), and
b
constitute a separate trade (whether because of section 16(1) or otherwise).

Other definitions
225E
In this Chapter—
- “chargeable period” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (see section 1(3) of that Act),
- “designated area” means an area designated by Order in Council under section 1(7) of the Continental Shelf Act 1964,

- “oil field” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (see section 12(1) of that Act),
- “OTA 1975” means the Oil Taxation Act 1975, and
- “participator” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (see section 12(1) of that Act).

b
would so fall but for section 10 of that Act.
2
For income tax purposes, the disposal of the oil, and its acquisition by the person to whom it was disposed of, are to be treated as having been for a consideration equal to the market value of the oil—

7
Those modifications are that—
a
any reference in paragraph 2 to the notional delivery day for the actual oil is to be read as a reference to the day on which the oil is disposed of as mentioned in this section, and

225H
1
This section applies if an excess of nominated proceeds for a chargeable period—
a
is taken into account in calculating a person's profits under section 2(5)(e) of OTA 1975, or
b
would have been so taken into account if the person were chargeable to tax under OTA 1975 in respect of an oil field.
2
For income tax purposes, the amount of the excess is to be added to the consideration which the person is treated as having received in respect of oil disposed of by that person in the period.

225I
1
This section applies if conditions A and B are met.
2
Condition A is that a person makes a relevant appropriation of oil without disposing of it.

b
would so fall but for section 10 of that Act.
4
For income tax purposes, the person is to be treated as having, at the time of the appropriation—
a
sold the oil in the course of the separate trade consisting of activities falling within the definition of “oil-related activities” in section 16(2) (oil extraction and related activities), and
b
purchased it in the course of the separate trade consisting of activities not so falling.
5
For income tax purposes, that sale and purchase is to be treated as having been at a price equal to the market value of the oil—
a
as so taken into account under section 2 of OTA 1975, or
b
as would have been so taken into account under that section but for section 10 of that Act.
6
In this section “relevant appropriation” has the meaning given by section 12(1) of OTA 1975.

Paragraphs 2 and 3A of Schedule 3 to OTA 1975 (definition of market value of oil including light gases) apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of Part 1 of that Act, but with the following modifications.
7
Those modifications are that—
a
any reference in paragraph 2 to the notional delivery day for the actual oil is to be read as a reference to the day on which the oil is appropriated as mentioned in this section,
b
any reference in paragraphs 2 and 2A to oil being relevantly appropriated is to be read as a reference to its being appropriated as mentioned in this section, and
c
paragraph 2(4) is to be treated as omitted.

Regional development grants

Reduction of expenditure by reference to regional development grant
225K
1
This section applies if conditions A and B are met.
2
Condition A is that a person has incurred expenditure (by way of purchase, rent or otherwise) on the acquisition of an asset in a transaction to which paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 to OTA 1975 applies (transactions between connected persons or otherwise than at arm's length).

5
The expenditure mentioned in subsection (2) is to be reduced by the amount of the regional development grant mentioned in subsection (3).
6
In this section “regional development grant” means a grant falling within section 534(1) of CAA 2001 (Northern Ireland regional development grant).

Adjustment as a result of regional development grant
225L
1
This section applies if conditions A, B and C are met.
2
Condition A is that expenditure incurred by a person in relation to an asset in a tax year (“the initial period”) has been or is to be met by a regional development grant.
3
Condition B is that, despite the provisions of section 534(2) and (3) of CAA 2001 (Northern Ireland regional development grants) and section 225K of this Act, in determining that person's liability to income tax for the initial period, the whole or some part of that expenditure falls to be taken into account under Part 2 or 6 of CAA 2001.
4
Condition C is that—
a
expenditure on the asset becomes allowable under section 3 or 4 of OTA 1975 in a tax year (an “adjustment period”) subsequent to the initial period, or
b
the proportion of any such expenditure which is allowable in an adjustment period is different as compared with the initial period.
5
There is to be redetermined for the purposes of subsections (7) and (8) the amount of the expenditure mentioned in subsection (2) which would have been taken into account as mentioned in subsection (3) if the circumstances mentioned in subsection (4) had existed in the initial period.
6
According to whether the amount as so redetermined is greater or less than the amount actually taken into account as mentioned in subsection (3), the difference is referred to in subsections (7) and (8) as the increase or the reduction in the allowance.
7
If there is an increase in the allowance, an amount of capital expenditure equal to the increase is to be treated, for the purposes of Part 2 or 6 of CAA 2001, as having been incurred by the person concerned in the adjustment period on an extension of, or addition to, the asset mentioned in subsection (2).
8
If there is a reduction in the allowance, the person concerned is to be treated, for the purpose of determining that person's liability to income tax, as having received in the adjustment period, as income of the trade in connection with which the expenditure mentioned in subsection (2) was incurred, a sum equal to the amount of the reduction in the allowance.

3
Condition B is that the sum constitutes consideration in the nature of income rather than capital.
4
Condition C is that the sum would not, but for subsection (5), be treated as mentioned in that subsection.
5
The sum is to be treated as a receipt of the separate trade mentioned in section 16(1) (oil extraction and related activities).
6
So far as they would not otherwise be so treated, the activities—
a
of a participator in an oil field, or
b
of a person connected with the participator,
in making available an asset in a way which gives rise to tariff receipts or tax-exempt tariffing receipts of the participator are to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as oil extraction activities.
7
In determining for the purposes of subsection (2) whether a sum constitutes a tariff receipt or tax-exempt tariffing receipt of a person who is a participator, no account may be taken of any sum which—
a
is in fact received or receivable by a person connected with the participator, and
b
constitutes a tariff receipt or tax-exempt tariffing receipt of the participator.
But in relation to the person by whom such a sum is actually received, subsection (2) has effect as if the person were a participator and as if condition A were met.
8
References in this section to a person connected with a participator include a person with whom the person is associated, within the meaning of paragraph 11 of Schedule 2 to the Oil Taxation Act 1983, but section 878(5) of this Act (application of definition of “connected” persons) does not apply for the purposes of this section.
9
In this section—
- “tax-exempt tariffing receipt” has the meaning given by section 6A(2) of the Oil Taxation Act 1983, and
- “tariff receipt” has the same meaning as in that Act.

Abandonment guarantees

Expenditure on and under abandonment guarantees
225N
1
Subsection (2) applies if, as a result of section 3(1)(hh) of OTA 1975 (obtaining abandonment guarantee), expenditure incurred by a participator in an oil field is allowable (in whole or in part) for petroleum revenue tax purposes under section 3 of that Act.
2
So far as that expenditure is so allowable, it is to be allowed as a deduction in calculating the participator's ring fence income.
3
Subsection (4) applies if a payment is made by the guarantor under an abandonment guarantee.
4
So far as any expenditure for which the relevant participator is liable is met, directly or indirectly, out of the payment, the expenditure is not to be regarded for income tax purposes as having been incurred by the relevant participator or any other participator in the oil field concerned.
5
See also section 225P (payment under abandonment guarantee not immediately applied).
6
In this Chapter—
- “abandonment guarantee” has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of section 105 of FA 1991 (see section 104 of that Act), and
- “the guarantor” and “the relevant participator” have the same meaning as in section 104 of that Act.

Relief for reimbursement expenditure under abandonment guarantees
225O
1
This section applies if—
a
a payment (“the guarantee payment”) is made by the guarantor under an abandonment guarantee,
b
as a result of the making of the guarantee payment, the relevant participator becomes liable under the terms of the abandonment guarantee to pay any sum to the guarantor, and
c
expenditure is incurred, or consideration in money's worth is given, by the relevant participator in or towards meeting that liability.
2
In this section “reimbursement expenditure” means expenditure incurred as mentioned in subsection (1)(c) or consideration (or the value of consideration) given as so mentioned; and any reference to the incurring of reimbursement expenditure is to be read accordingly.
3
So much of any reimbursement expenditure as constitutes qualifying expenditure (see subsection (4)) is to be allowed as a deduction in calculating the relevant participator's ring fence income; and no part of the expenditure which is so allowed is to be otherwise deductible or allowable by way of relief for income tax purposes.
4
The amount of reimbursement expenditure incurred in any tax year by the relevant participator which constitutes qualifying expenditure is determined by the formula—
A x B/C
where—A is the reimbursement expenditure incurred in the tax year,B is so much of the expenditure represented by the guarantee payment as, had it been incurred by the relevant participator, would have been taken into account (by way of capital allowance or a deduction) in calculating the relevant participator's ring fence income, andC is the total of the sums which, at or before the end of the tax year, the relevant participator is or has become liable to pay to the guarantor as mentioned in subsection (1)(b).
But this is subject to subsection (5).
5
In relation to the guarantee payment, the total of the reimbursement expenditure (whenever incurred) which constitutes qualifying expenditure may not exceed whichever is the less of B and C in subsection (4).
6
Any limitation on qualifying expenditure under subsection (5) is to be applied to the expenditure of a later tax year in preference to an earlier one.
7
For the purposes of this section, the expenditure represented by the guarantee payment is any expenditure—
a
for which the relevant participator is liable, and
b
which is met, directly or indirectly, out of the guarantee payment (and which, accordingly, because of section 225N(4) is not to be regarded as expenditure incurred by the relevant participator).
8
See also—
a
section 225P (payment under abandonment guarantee not immediately applied), and
b
section 225Q which excludes amounts from subsection (1).

Payment under abandonment guarantee not immediately applied
225P
1
This section applies if—
a
a payment made by the guarantor under an abandonment guarantee is not immediately applied in meeting any expenditure,
b
the payment is for any period invested (either specifically or together with payments made by persons other than the guarantor) so as to be represented by, or by part of, the assets of a fund or account, and
c
at a subsequent time, any expenditure for which the relevant participator is liable is met out of the assets of the fund or account.
2
The references in sections 225N(4) and 225O(7) to expenditure which is met, directly or indirectly, out of the payment are to be read as references to so much of the expenditure for which the relevant participator is liable as is met out of those assets of the fund or account which, at the subsequent time mentioned in subsection (1)(c), it is just and reasonable to attribute to the payment.

Amounts excluded from section 225O(1)
225Q
1
This section applies if—
a
the whole of the guarantee payment mentioned in section 225O, or of the assets which under section 225P are attributed to the guarantee payment, is not applied in meeting liabilities of the relevant participator so mentioned which fall within section 104(1)(a) and (b) of FA 1991, and
b
a sum representing the unapplied part of the guarantee payment or of those assets is repaid, directly or indirectly, to the guarantor so mentioned.
2
Any liability of the relevant participator to repay that sum is to be excluded in determining the total liability of the relevant participator which falls within section 225O(1)(b).
3
The repayment to the guarantor of that sum is not to be regarded as expenditure incurred by the relevant participator as mentioned in section 225O(1)(c).

Abandonment expenditure

Introduction to sections 225S and 225T
225R
1
Sections 225S and 225T apply if—
a
paragraph 2A of Schedule 5 to OTA 1975 applies, or would apply if a claim under paragraph 2A(2) of that Schedule were made, and
b
the default payment falls (in whole or part) to be attributed to the contributing participator under paragraph 2A(2) of that Schedule.
2
In section 225S “the additional abandonment expenditure” means the amount which is attributed to the contributing participator as mentioned in subsection (1)(b) (whether representing the whole or only part of the default payment).
3
In this Chapter “default payment”, “the defaulter” and “contributing participator” have the same meaning as in paragraph 2A of Schedule 5 to OTA 1975.

Relief for expenditure incurred by a participator in meeting defaulter's abandonment expenditure
225S
1
Relief by way of capital allowance, or a deduction in calculating ring fence income, is to be available to the contributing participator in respect of the additional abandonment expenditure if any such relief or deduction would have been available to the defaulter if—
a
the defaulter had incurred the additional abandonment expenditure, and
b
at the time that that expenditure was incurred the defaulter continued to carry on a ring fence trade.
2
The basis of qualification for or entitlement to any relief or deduction which is available to the contributing participator under this section is to be determined on the assumption that the conditions in subsection (1)(a) and (b) are met.
3
But, subject to subsection (2), any such relief or deduction is to be available in the same way as if the additional abandonment expenditure had been incurred by the contributing participator for the purposes of the ring fence trade carried on by the contributing participator.

Reimbursement by defaulter in respect of certain abandonment expenditure
225T
1
This section applies if expenditure is incurred, or consideration in money's worth is given, by the defaulter in reimbursing the contributing participator in respect of, or otherwise making good to the contributing participator, the whole or any part of the default payment.
2
In this section “reimbursement expenditure” means expenditure incurred as mentioned in subsection (1) or consideration (or the value of consideration) given as so mentioned; and any reference to the incurring of reimbursement expenditure is to be read accordingly.
3
Reimbursement expenditure is to be allowed as a deduction in calculating the defaulter's ring fence income (but this is subject to subsection (6)).
4
Reimbursement expenditure received by the contributing participator is to be treated as a receipt (in the nature of income) of the participator's ring fence trade for the relevant tax year (but this is subject to subsection (6)).
5
Any additional assessment to income tax required in order to take account of the receipt of reimbursement expenditure by the contributing participator may be made at any time not later than 4 years after the end of the calendar year in which the reimbursement expenditure is so received.
6
In relation to a particular default payment, reimbursement expenditure incurred at any time—
a
is to be allowed as mentioned in subsection (3), and
b
is to be taken into account as a result of subsection (4) in calculating the contributing participator's ring fence income,
only so far as, when aggregated with any reimbursement expenditure previously incurred in respect of that default payment, it does not exceed so much of the default payment as falls to be attributed to the contributing participator as mentioned in section 225R(1)(b).
7
The incurring of reimbursement expenditure is not to be regarded, by virtue of section 532 of CAA 2001 (the general rule excluding contributions), as the meeting of the expenditure of the contributing participator in making the default payment.
8
In subsection (4) “the relevant tax year” means—
a
the tax year in which the reimbursement expenditure is received by the contributing participator, or
b
if the contributing participator's ring fence trade is permanently discontinued before the receipt of the reimbursement expenditure, the last tax year in which that trade was carried on.

Interest on repayment of APRT

Interest on repayment of APRT
225U
1
Subsection (2) applies if interest is paid to a participator under paragraph 10(4) of Schedule 19 to FA 1982 (interest on advance petroleum revenue tax which becomes repayable).
2
The interest paid is to be disregarded in calculating the participator's income for income tax purposes.

Purposes of this Chapter

as between connected persons, or

within a group of companies,
as reflected or falling to be reflected in accounts of any of those persons or in consolidated group accounts.
5
The second main purpose of this Chapter is, if the sum mentioned in section 614B(3)(a) that is not rent falls due, to recover by reference to that sum the whole or any part of the capital expenditure reliefs.
6
In subsection (5) “the capital expenditure reliefs” means any reliefs, allowances or deductions that are or have been allowed or made in respect of capital expenditure incurred in respect of the leased asset.

Leases to which this Chapter applies

Application of this Chapter
614BB
1
This Chapter applies if—
a
a lease of an asset is or has been granted, and
b
the conditions in section 614BC are or have been met in relation to the lease at some time in a period of account of the current lessor.
2
But this Chapter does not apply so far as, in relation to the current lessor, the lease falls to be regarded as a long funding lease for the purposes of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances) in accordance with Chapter 6A of that Part (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases) (see section 70G of that Act).
3
If the conditions in section 614BC have been met at some time in a period of account of the person who was at that time the lessor, they are taken to continue to be met for the purposes of this Chapter unless and until one of the conditions in subsection (4) is met.
4
The conditions are that—
a
the asset ceases to be leased under the lease, or
b
the lessor's interest under the lease is assigned to a person who is not connected with any of the persons specified in subsection (5).
5
Those persons are—
a
the assignor,
b
any person who was the lessor at some time before the assignment, and
c
any person who at some time after the assignment becomes the lessor pursuant to arrangements made by a person who was the lessor, or was connected with the lessor, at some time before the assignment.
6
If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income, the reference in subsection (3) to the conditions in section 614BC having been met at that time includes a reference to the conditions in section 902 of CTA 2010 having been so met.
7
Nothing in subsection (3) prevents this Chapter from applying again in relation to the lease where the lessor's interest is assigned if the conditions for its application are met after the assignment.

The conditions referred to in section 614BB(1)
614BC
1
This section sets out the conditions required by section 614BB(1) to be met for this Chapter to apply (conditions A to E).
2
Condition A is that at the relevant time—
a
the leasing arrangements fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a finance lease or a loan, and
b
subsection (3) or (4) applies.
3
This subsection applies if the lessor (“L”), or a person connected with L, falls for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as the finance lessor in relation to the finance lease or loan.
4
This subsection applies if the finance lease or loan falls for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as subsisting for the purposes of consolidated group accounts of a group of companies of which L is a member.
5
Condition B is that, under the leasing arrangements, there is or may be payable to L, or to a person connected with L, a sum (a “major lump sum”) that is not rent but falls for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice—
a
as to part, as repayment of some or all of the investment in respect of a finance lease or loan, and
b
as to part, as a return on investment in respect of a finance lease or loan.
6
Condition C is that not all of that part of the sum that falls within subsection (5)(b) would, apart from this Chapter, fall to be brought into account for income tax purposes in tax years ending with the relevant tax year as the normal rent from the lease for periods of account of L.
7
Condition D is that, in relation to L at the relevant time—
a
the period of account of L in which the relevant time falls, or
b
an earlier period of account of L during which L was the lessor,
is a period of account for which the accountancy rental earnings in respect of the lease exceed the normal rent for the period.
8
Condition E is that at the relevant time—
a
arrangements within section 614BE(1) exist, or
b
paragraph (a) does not apply and circumstances within section 614BE(3) exist.
9
Section 614BD supplements this section.

Provisions supplementing section 614BC
614BD
1
In section 614BC—
- “the relevant tax year”, in relation to a major lump sum, means—
  1. the tax year which is related to the period of account of the lessor (“L”) in which the major lump sum is or may be payable in accordance with the leasing arrangements, or
  2. if there are two or more such tax years, the latest of them, and
- “the relevant time” means the time as at which it must be determined for the purposes of section 614BB(1) or (3) whether the conditions in section 614BC are or, as the case may be, were met.
2
For the meaning of a tax year being related to a period of account, see section 614DB(4).
3
Subsection (4) applies for determining the normal rent for a period of account for the purpose of determining whether condition D in section 614BC is met as respects L unless subsection (5) applies.
4
Rent that falls to be brought into account for income tax purposes as it falls due is treated—
a
as accruing evenly throughout the period to which, in accordance with the terms of the lease, each payment falling due relates, and
b
as falling due as it so accrues.
5
This subsection applies if any such payment as is mentioned in subsection (4)(a) falls due more than 12 months after the time at which any of the rent to which that payment relates is treated as accruing under subsection (4)(a).

The arrangements and circumstances referred to in section 614BC(8)
614BE
1
The arrangements referred to in section 614BC(8)(a) are arrangements under which—
a
the lessee or a person connected with the lessee may acquire, whether directly or indirectly, the leased asset or an asset representing the leased asset from the lessor or a person connected with the lessor, and
b
in connection with that acquisition, the lessor or a person connected with the lessor may receive, whether directly or indirectly, a qualifying lump sum from the lessee or a person connected with the lessee.
2
In this section “qualifying lump sum” means any sum that is not rent but at least part of which would fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a return on investment in respect of a finance lease or loan.
3
The circumstances referred to in section 614BC(8)(b) are circumstances which make it more likely—
a
that the events described in subsection (4) will occur, than
b
that the event described in subsection (5) will occur.
4
The events mentioned in subsection (3)(a) are—
a
that the lessee or a person connected with the lessee will acquire, whether directly or indirectly, the leased asset or an asset representing the leased asset from the lessor or a person connected with the lessor, and
b
that, in connection with that acquisition, the lessor or a person connected with the lessor will receive, whether directly or indirectly, a qualifying lump sum from the lessee or a person connected with the lessee.
5
The event mentioned in subsection (3)(b) is that, before any such acquisition as is mentioned in subsection (4) takes place, the leased asset or, as the case may be, the asset representing the leased asset, will have been acquired, in a sale on the open market, by an independent third party.
6
In subsection (5) “independent third party” means a person who—
a
is not the lessor or the lessee, and
b
is not connected with either of them.
7
For the meaning of an asset representing the leased asset, see section 614DD.

Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings

Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings
614BF
1
This section applies if, in the case of any period of account of the current lessor (“L”)—
a
this Chapter applies in relation to the lease, and
b
the accountancy rental earnings in respect of the lease for that period of account exceed the normal rent for that period.
2
For income tax purposes, L is treated as if in that period of account L had been entitled to, and there had arisen to L, rent from the lease of an amount equal to those accountancy rental earnings (instead of the normal rent referred to in subsection (1)(b)).
3
Such rent from the lease of an asset is treated for income tax purposes—
a
as if it had accrued at an even rate throughout so much of the period of account as falls within the period for which the asset is leased, and
b
as if L had become entitled to it as it accrued.

Reduction of taxable rent by cumulative rental excesses

Reduction of taxable rent by cumulative rental excesses: introduction
614BG
1
This section and sections 614BH to 614BK provide for reductions of the taxable rent of a current lessor (“L”) under a lease to which this Chapter applies.
2
In this section and sections 614BH to 614BK “taxable rent”, in relation to a period of account of L, means the amount that would, apart from those sections, be treated for income tax purposes as rent from the lease that arises to L in that period of account for the purpose of determining L's liability to tax for the related tax year or years.
3
The reductions of taxable rent under sections 614BH to 614BK depend on there being—
a
a cumulative accountancy rental excess for the period of account of L in question, or
b
a cumulative normal rental excess for the period of account of L in question.
4
For the meaning of “cumulative accountancy rental excess” and “cumulative normal rental excess”, see sections 614BH and 614BJ respectively.

Meaning of “accountancy rental excess” and “cumulative accountancy rental excess”
614BH
1
For the purposes of this Chapter, there is an “accountancy rental excess” in relation to the lease for a period of account of the current lessor (“L”) if the taxable rent in relation to the lease for the period is as a result of section 614BF (current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings) an amount equal to the accountancy rental earnings.
2
The amount of the accountancy rental excess for the period is equal to the difference between the accountancy rental earnings for the period and the normal rent for the period.
3
But if the taxable rent for the period is reduced under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess), there is only an accountancy rental excess for the period if—
a
the accountancy rental earnings, reduced by an amount equal to the reduction under that section, exceed
b
the normal rent.
4
And in that case the amount of the accountancy rental excess for the period is equal to that excess.
5
In this Chapter the “cumulative accountancy rental excess”, in relation to the lease and a period of account of L, means so much of the total of the accountancy rental excesses for previous periods of account of L (as increased under section 614BM: recovery of bad debts following reduction under section 614BL) as has not been—
a
set off under section 614BI (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess) against the taxable rent for any such previous period,
b
reduced under section 614BL (relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative accountancy rental excess), or
c
set off under section 37A of TCGA 1992 (consideration on disposal of certain leases) against the consideration for a disposal.

Reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess
614BI
1
This section applies if a period of account of the current lessor (“L”) is one for which—
a
the normal rent in relation to the lease exceeds the accountancy rental earnings, and
b
there is a cumulative accountancy rental excess.
2
The taxable rent for the period of account is reduced by setting against it the cumulative accountancy rental excess (but not so as to reduce that rent below the amount of the accountancy rental earnings).
3
But see section 614BL(3) and (4) (under which the amount of the cumulative accountancy rental excess which may be set against the taxable rent is limited in some circumstances).

Meaning of “normal rental excess” and “cumulative normal rental excess”
614BJ
1
For the purposes of this Chapter, there is a “normal rental excess” in relation to a lease for any period of account of the current lessor (“L”) throughout which the leasing arrangements fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a finance lease or loan if—
a
the normal rent for the period, exceeds
b
the accountancy rental earnings for the period.
2
The amount of the normal rental excess for that period is equal to that excess.
3
But if the taxable rent for the period is reduced under section 614BI (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess), there is only a normal rental excess for the period if—
a
the normal rent, reduced by an amount equal to the reduction under that section, exceeds
b
the accountancy rental earnings.
4
And in that case the amount of the normal rental excess for the period is equal to that excess.
5
In this Chapter “cumulative normal rental excess”, in relation to the lease and a period of account of L, means so much of the total of the normal rental excesses for previous periods of account of L (as increased under section 614BO: recovery of bad debts following reduction under section 614BN) as has not been—
a
set off under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess) against the taxable rent for any such previous period, or
b
reduced under section 614BN (relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative normal rental excess).

Reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess
614BK
1
This section applies if a period of account of the current lessor (“L”) is one for which—
a
the taxable rent in relation to the lease is as a result of section 614BF (current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings) an amount equal to the accountancy rental earnings, and
b
there is a cumulative normal rental excess.
2
The taxable rent for the period of account is reduced by setting against it the cumulative normal rental excess (but not so as to reduce that rent below the amount of the normal rent).
3
But see section 614BN(3) and (4) (under which the amount of the cumulative normal rental excess which may be set against the taxable rent is limited in some circumstances).

Relief for bad debts by reduction of cumulative rental excesses

Relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative accountancy rental excess
614BL
1
This section applies if in relation to the lease for any period of account of the current lessor—
a
there is a cumulative accountancy rental excess, and
b
a bad debt deduction falls to be made in respect of rent from the lease.
2
If for that period—
a
the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease exceed the normal rent, and
b
the amount of the bad debt deduction exceeds the amount of the accountancy rental earnings,
the cumulative accountancy rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess of that deduction over those earnings (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
3
Subsections (4) and (5) apply if for that period the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease do not exceed the normal rent.
4
The amount of the cumulative accountancy rental excess that may be set against the taxable rent for that period under section 614BI(2) (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess) is limited to the amount (if any) by which the normal rent exceeds the bad debt deduction.
5
If for that period the bad debt deduction exceeds the normal rent, the cumulative accountancy rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of that excess (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
6
In this section—
- “bad debt deduction”, in relation to a period of account of the lessor, means the total of any sums falling within section 35(1)(a), (b) or (c) of ITTOIA 2005 in respect of amounts in respect of rents from the lease of the asset which are deductible as expenses for that period, and
- “taxable rent” has the meaning given in section 614BG(2).

Recovery of bad debts following reduction under section 614BL
614BM
1
This section applies if in relation to the lease—
a
the cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account of the current lessor (“L”) has been reduced under section 614BL(2) or (5) because of a bad debt deduction,
b
in a subsequent period of account of L, an amount (“the relevant credit”) is recovered or credited in respect of the amount which constituted the bad debt deduction, and
c
there is a cumulative accountancy rental excess for that subsequent period.
2
The cumulative accountancy rental excess for the subsequent period is increased.
3
If the relevant credit does not exceed the total of the reductions under section 614BL(2) or (5), the increase is by the relevant credit.
4
Otherwise, the increase is limited to that total.
5
In this section “bad debt deduction” has the meaning given in section 614BL(6).

Relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative normal rental excess
614BN
1
This section applies if in relation to the lease for any period of account of the current lessor—
a
there is a cumulative normal rental excess, and
b
a bad debt deduction falls to be made in respect of rent from the lease.
2
If for that period—
a
the accountancy rental earnings in the case of the lease do not exceed the normal rent, and
b
the amount of the bad debt deduction exceeds the amount of that rent,
the cumulative normal rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess of that deduction over that rent (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
3
Subsections (4) and (5) apply if for that period the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease exceed the normal rent.
4
The amount of the cumulative normal rental excess that may be set against the taxable rent for that period under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess) is limited to the amount (if any) by which the accountancy rental earnings exceed the bad debt deduction.
5
If for that period the bad debt deduction exceeds the accountancy rental earnings, the cumulative normal rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
6
In this section, in relation to a period of account of the lessor—
- “bad debt deduction” has the meaning given in section 614BL(6), and
- “taxable rent” has the meaning given in section 614BG(2).

Recovery of bad debts following reduction under section 614BN
614BO
1
This section applies if in relation to the lease—
a
the cumulative normal rental excess for any period of account of the current lessor (“L”) has been reduced under section 614BN(2) or (5) as a result of a bad debt deduction,
b
in a subsequent period of account of L, an amount (“the relevant credit”) is recovered or credited in respect of the amount which constituted the bad debt deduction, and
c
there is a cumulative normal rental excess for that subsequent period.
2
The cumulative normal rental excess for the subsequent period is increased.
3
If the relevant credit does not exceed the total of the reductions under section 614BN(2) or (5), the increase is by the relevant credit.
4
Otherwise, the increase is limited to that total.
5
In this section “bad debt deduction” has the meaning given in section 614BL(6).

Effect of disposals

Effect of disposals of leases: general
614BP
1
This section applies if the current lessor (“L”) or a person connected with L disposes of—
a
the lessor's interest under the lease,
b
the leased asset, or
c
an asset representing the leased asset (see section 614DD).
2
This Part has effect as if immediately before the disposal a period of account of L ended and another began.
3
If—
a
two or more disposals within subsection (1) are made at the same time, and
b
there is any cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account of L in which the disposal occurs,
subsection (2) has effect in relation to those disposals as if they together constituted a single disposal.
4
In this section “dispose” and “disposal” are to be read in accordance with TCGA 1992.
5
In cases where there is any cumulative accountancy rental excess for L's period of account in which the disposal occurs, section 37A of that Act (consideration on disposal of certain leases) makes provision for the purposes of that Act about the reduction of the consideration for the disposal by that excess in determining if a gain has accrued.

Assignments on which neither a gain nor a loss accrues
614BQ
1
This section applies if—
a
the current lessor (“L”) assigns the lessor's interest under the lease, and
b
the assignment is a disposal on which, as a result of any of the no gain/no loss provisions, neither a gain nor a loss accrues.
2
This Part has effect as if—
a
a period of account of L (“L's period”) ended with the assignment, and
b
a period of account of the assignee (“A's period”) began with the assignment.
3
Any cumulative accountancy rental excess for L's period becomes the cumulative accountancy rental excess for A's period.
4
Any cumulative normal rental excess for L's period becomes the cumulative normal rental excess for A's period.
5
If the assignee is a company subject to the charge to corporation tax on income, so far as this section relates to the assignee, it applies for the purposes of Part 21 of CTA 2010 as it would otherwise apply for the purposes of this Part.
6
In this section “the no gain/no loss provisions” has the same meaning as in TCGA 1992 (see section 288(3A) of that Act).

Capital allowances: claw-back of major lump sum

Effect of capital allowances: introduction
614BR
1
This section and sections 614BS to 614BW apply if an occasion occurs on which a major lump sum falls to be paid in relation to the lease of the asset.
2
In those sections the occasion is called “the relevant occasion”.

Cases where expenditure taken into account under Part 2, 5 or 8 of CAA 2001
614BS
1
This section applies if capital expenditure incurred by the current lessor (“L”) in respect of the leased asset is or has been taken into account for the purposes of any allowance or charge under—
a
Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances),
b
Part 5 of that Act (mineral extraction allowances), or
c
Part 8 of that Act (patent allowances).
2
The Part of that Act in question (“the relevant Part”) has effect as if the relevant occasion were an event (“the relevant event”) as a result of which a disposal value is to be brought into account of an amount equal to the amount or value of the major lump sum (but subject to any applicable limiting provision).
3
In this section “limiting provision” means a provision to the effect that the disposal value of the asset in question is not to exceed an amount (“the limit”) described by reference to capital expenditure incurred in respect of the asset.
4
Subsection (5) applies if—
a
as a result of subsection (2), a disposal value (“the relevant disposal value”) falls or has fallen to be brought into account by a person in respect of the leased asset for the purposes of the relevant Part, and
b
a limiting provision has effect in the case of that Part.
5
The limiting provision has effect (so far as it would not otherwise do so), in relation to the relevant disposal value and any simultaneous or later disposal value, as if—
a
it did not limit any particular disposal value, but
b
it limited the total amount of all the disposal values brought into account for the purposes of the relevant Part by L in respect of the leased asset.
6
In subsection (5) “simultaneous or later disposal value” means any disposal value which falls to be brought into account by L in respect of the leased asset as a result of any event occurring at the same time as, or later than, the relevant event.

Cases where expenditure taken into account under other provisions of CAA 2001
614BT
1
This section applies if any allowance is or has been given in respect of capital expenditure incurred by the current lessor (“L”) in respect of the leased asset under any provision of CAA 2001 other than—
a
Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances),
b
Part 5 of that Act (mineral extraction allowances), or
c
Part 8 of that Act (patent allowances).
2
The amount specified in subsection (3) is treated, in relation to L, as if it were a balancing charge to be made on L for the chargeable period in which the relevant occasion falls.
3
That amount is an amount equal to—
a
the total of the allowances given as mentioned in subsection (1) (so far as not previously recovered or withdrawn), or
b
if it is less, the amount or value of the major lump sum.
4
In this section “chargeable period” has the meaning given by section 6 of CAA 2001.

Capital allowances deductions: waste disposal and cemeteries
614BU
1
This section applies if any deduction is or has been allowed to the current lessor (“L”) in respect of capital expenditure incurred in connection with the leased asset as a result of—
a
section 165 or 168 of ITTOIA 2005 (preparation and restoration expenditure in relation to waste disposal site), or
b
section 170 of that Act (cemeteries and crematoria: deduction for capital expenditure).
2
L is treated as if trading receipts arose to L from the trade in question on the relevant occasion.
3
The amount of those receipts is equal to the lesser of—
a
the amount or value of the major lump sum, and
b
the deductions previously allowed.

Capital allowances deductions: films and sound recordings
614BV
1
This section applies if—
a
any relevant deduction has been allowed to the current lessor (“L”) in respect of expenditure incurred in connection with the leased asset, and
b
the amount or value of the major lump sum exceeds so much of that sum as was treated as receipts of a revenue nature under section 134(2) of ITTOIA 2005 (disposal proceeds of original master version of film or sound recording treated as receipt of a revenue nature).
2
In subsection (1) “relevant deduction” means any deduction as a result of—
a
section 135 of ITTOIA 2005 (allocation of expenditure on master versions of films or sound recordings to periods), or
b
section 138, 138A, 139 or 140 of that Act (relief for production or acquisition expenditure in respect of films).
3
L is treated as if receipts of a revenue nature arose to L from the trade or business in question on the relevant occasion.
4
The amount of those receipts is equal to the excess mentioned in subsection (1)(b).

Contributors to capital expenditure
614BW
1
This section applies if—
a
section 614BS or 614BT applies in relation to a leased asset,
b
allowances are or have been made to a person (“the contributor”) as a result of sections 537 to 542 of CAA 2001 (allowances in respect of contributions to capital expenditure), and
c
those allowances are or were in respect of the contributor's contribution of a capital sum to expenditure on the provision of the leased asset.
2
Section 614BS or, as the case may be, section 614BT has effect in relation to the contributor and those allowances as it has effect in relation to the current lessor and allowances in respect of capital expenditure incurred by the current lessor in respect of the leased asset.

Schemes to which this Chapter does not at first apply

Pre-26 November 1996 schemes where this Chapter does not at first apply
614BX
1
This section applies if—
a
the lease of an asset forms part of a pre-26 November 1996 scheme, but
b
the conditions in section 614BC become met after 26 November 1996.
2
For the meaning of “forming part of a pre-26 November 1996 scheme”, see section 614D.
3
This Part has effect as if—
a
a period of account (“period 1”) of the current lessor (“L”) ended immediately before the time at which those conditions become met,
b
another period of account of L (“period 2”) began immediately before that time and ended immediately after that time, and
c
another period of account of L began immediately after that time.
4
If, on the continuous application assumption (see subsection (9)), there would be an amount of cumulative accountancy rental excess for period 2, that amount is the cumulative accountancy rental excess for period 2.
5
If subsection (4) applies, L is treated for income tax purposes as if in period 1 L had been entitled to, and there had arisen to L, rent from the lease of an amount equal to that cumulative accountancy rental excess.
6
The amount of rent mentioned in subsection (5)—
a
is in addition to any other rent from the lease for period 1, and
b
is left out of account for the purposes of section 614BF (current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings).
7
Rent within subsection (5) is treated for income tax purposes as if it had accrued and L had become entitled to it immediately before the end of period 1.
8
If, on the continuous application assumption, there would be an amount of cumulative normal rental excess for period 2, that amount is the cumulative normal rental excess for period 2.
9
In this section “the continuous application assumption” means the assumption that this Chapter (other than this section) had applied in the case of the lease at all times on or after 26 November 1996.
10
If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income, the reference in subsection (9) to this Chapter (other than this section) includes a reference to Chapter 2 of Part 21 of CTA 2010 (other than section 923 of that Act).

This section applies if—
a
the conditions in section 614BC become met in the case of the lease of the asset, and
b
immediately before those conditions become met, Chapter 3 applied.
2
Subsection (3) applies for the purpose of determining—
a
the cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account ending after those conditions become met, or
b
the cumulative normal rental excess for any such period.
3
This Part has effect as if this Chapter had applied in relation to the lease at any time when Chapter 3 applied in relation to it.
4
If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income—
a
the reference in subsection (1)(a) to the conditions in section 614BC becoming met at that time includes a reference to the conditions in section 902 of CTA 2010 becoming so met,
b
the reference in subsection (1)(b) to Chapter 3 applying immediately before that time includes a reference to Chapter 3 of Part 21 of that Act so applying, and
c

614C
1
This Chapter applies to arrangements involving the lease of an asset that—
a
fall to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a finance lease or loan, but
b
are not arrangements to which Chapter 2 applies.
2
It does not matter whether the arrangements are or have been entered into by companies or other persons.

Purpose of this Chapter
614CA
1
The main purpose of this Chapter where there are arrangements to which this Chapter applies is to charge a person entitled to the lessor's interest under the lease of the asset to income tax on amounts of income determined as mentioned in subsection (2).
2
The amounts referred to in subsection (1) are determined by reference to the amounts that fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as the income return on and after 26 November 1996 on investment in respect of the finance lease or loan.
3
The amounts referred to in subsection (1) are also determined taking into account the substance of the matter as a whole, including, in particular, the state of affairs—
a
as between connected persons, or
b
within a group of companies,
as reflected or falling to be reflected in accounts of any of those persons or in consolidated group accounts.

Leases to which this Chapter applies

Leases to which this Chapter applies
614CB
1
This Chapter applies if—
a
a lease of an asset is or has been granted on or after 26 November 1996,
b
the lease forms part of a post-25 November 1996 scheme,
c
condition A in section 614BC is or has been met at some time on or after 26 November 1996 in relation to the lease in a period of account of the current lessor (“L”), and
d
Chapter 2 does not apply in relation to the lease because of the other conditions in that section not all being, or having been, met as mentioned in section 614BB.
2
For the meaning of “forming part of a post-25 November 1996 scheme”, see section 614D.
3
This Chapter does not apply so far as, in relation to L, the lease falls to be regarded as a long funding lease for the purposes of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances) in accordance with Chapter 6A of that Part (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases) (see section 70G of that Act).
4
If condition A in section 614BC has been met at any time on or after 26 November 1996 in a period of account of the person who was at that time the lessor, it is taken to continue to be met unless and until one of the conditions in subsection (5) is met.
5
The conditions are that—
a
the asset ceases to be leased under the lease, or
b
the lessor's interest under the lease is assigned to a person who is not connected with any of the persons specified in subsection (6).
6
Those persons are—
a
the assignor,
b
any person who was the lessor at some time before the assignment, and
c
any person who at some time after the assignment becomes the lessor pursuant to arrangements made by a person who was the lessor, or was connected with the lessor, at some time before the assignment.
7
If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income—
a
the reference in subsection (4) to condition A in section 614BC having been met at that time includes a reference to condition A in section 902 of CTA 2010 having been so met, and
b
the reference in subsection (1)(d) to the other conditions in section 614BC not having been met as mentioned in section 614BB includes a reference to the other conditions in section 902 of that Act not having been met as mentioned in section 901 of that Act.
8
Nothing in subsection (4) prevents this Chapter from applying again in relation to the lease where the lessor's interest is assigned if the conditions for its application are met after the assignment.

Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings

Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings
614CC
1
This section applies if, in the case of any period of account of the current lessor (“L”)—
a
this Chapter applies in relation to the lease, and
b
the accountancy rental earnings in respect of the lease for that period of account exceed the normal rent for that period.
2
For income tax purposes, L is treated as if in that period of account L had been entitled to, and there had arisen to L, rent from the lease of an amount equal to those accountancy rental earnings (instead of the normal rent referred to in subsection (1)(b)).
3
Such rent from the lease of an asset is treated for income tax purposes—
a
as if it had accrued at an even rate throughout so much of the period of account as falls within the period for which the asset is leased, and
b
as if L had become entitled to it as it accrued.

The way the appropriate amount must be treated depends on whether the following conditions are met—
a
the consideration is received by L in the course of a trade, profession or vocation, and
b
the rent payable by L, or a person linked to L, under the new lease is allowable as a deduction in calculating profits or losses of a trade, profession or vocation for tax purposes.

i
consisting of banking or insurance, or
ii

2
Interest on money borrowed for the purposes of the trade is to be deducted in calculating the profits of the trade of that tax year only so far as it exceeds the ineligible amount.
3
The ineligible amount is found as follows—
- Step 1 Add together all sums borrowed for the purposes of the trade and still owing in the basis period for the tax year.
- Step 2 If the person carrying on the trade is a company, deduct any sums carrying interest which is not deducted in calculating the profits of the trade (otherwise than because of subsection (2)).
- Step 3 If the amount found at Step 2 exceeds the total cost of the 3½% War Loan 1952 Or After held for the purposes of the trade in the basis period, deduct the excess from that amount.
- Step 4 Calculate the average rate of interest in the basis period on money borrowed for the purposes of the trade.
- Step 5 Calculate the amount of interest payable on the amount found at Step 3 at the rate found at Step 4 for the basis period.
The result is the ineligible amount.
4
If the person's holding of 3½% War Loan 1952 Or After has fluctuated during the basis period, the total cost for the purposes of Step 3 is taken to be—
C × (A H)/(T H)
where—C is the cost of acquisition of the initial holding (if any) and any holdings acquired during the basis period,AH is the average holding in that period, andTH is the total of the initial holding (if any) and any holdings acquired during the basis period.

£500 if the return is delivered within 3 months after the filing date, and
b
£1,000 in any other case.
3
If a company becomes liable to a penalty under this paragraph, an officer of Revenue and Customs must—
a
assess the penalty, and
b
notify the company.
4
The assessment must be made within the period of 12 months beginning with the filing date mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b).
5
A company may, by notice, appeal against a decision of an officer of Revenue and Customs that a penalty is payable under this paragraph.
6
Notice of appeal under this paragraph must be given—
a
within 30 days after the penalty was notified to the company,
b
to the officer of Revenue and Customs who notified the company.
7
A penalty under this paragraph must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with—
a
the day on which the company was notified of the penalty, or
b
if notice of appeal against the penalty is given, the day on which the appeal is finally determined or withdrawn.
29A
1
Liability to a penalty under paragraph 29 does not arise if the company has a reasonable excuse for failing to submit the return by the filing date.
2
If the company has a reasonable excuse for the failure but the excuse has ceased, the company is to be treated as having continued to have the excuse if the return is submitted without unreasonable delay after the excuse ceased.

Penalty for incorrect or uncorrected return
30
1
A company is liable to a penalty if—
a
the company (or a person acting on its behalf) submits an interest restriction return to an officer of Revenue and Customs for a period of account of a worldwide group,
b
there is an inaccuracy in the return which meets condition A or B, and
c
the inaccuracy is due to a failure by the company (or a person acting on its behalf) to take reasonable care (a “careless inaccuracy”) or the company makes the inaccuracy deliberately (a “deliberate inaccuracy”).
2
An inaccuracy meets condition A if it consists of understating the total disallowed amount in the period of account of the group (including a case where no amount is specified in the return).
3
An inaccuracy meets condition B if it consists of overstating the interest reactivation cap in the period of account of the group.
4
A penalty payable under this paragraph is equal to the appropriate part of the notional tax.
5
For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule—
- “
the appropriate part
” means—
  1. in the case of a careless inaccuracy, 30%,
  2. in the case of a deliberate inaccuracy that is not concealed, 70%, and
  3. in the case of a deliberate inaccuracy that is concealed, 100%, and
- “
the notional tax
” means the result produced by applying the average rate of the main corporation tax rate applicable in each of the days of the period of account to the total of the amount of the understatement referred to in condition A and the amount of the overstatement referred to in condition B.
6
A company is not liable to a penalty under this paragraph in respect of anything done or omitted to be done by the company's agent if the company took reasonable care to avoid the inaccuracy.

Meaning of “deliberate inaccuracy that is concealed” and discovering inaccuracy after return submitted
31
1
For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule a deliberate inaccuracy made by a company is concealed if the company makes arrangements to conceal it (for example, by submitting false evidence in support of an inaccurate figure).
2
An inaccuracy in an interest restriction return which was not a careless or deliberate inaccuracy made by a company (or a person acting on its behalf) when the return was submitted is taken to be a careless inaccuracy made by the company for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule if the company (or a person acting on its behalf)—
a
discovers the inaccuracy at some later time, and
b
does not take reasonable steps to inform an officer of Revenue and Customs.

Inaccuracy in return attributable to another company
32
1
A company (“C”) is liable to a penalty if—
a
another company submits an interest restriction return for a period of account of a worldwide group,
b
there is an inaccuracy in the return which meets condition A or B in paragraph 30, and
c
the inaccuracy was attributable to C deliberately supplying false information to the other company, or to C deliberately withholding information from the other company, with the intention of the return containing the inaccuracy.
2
A penalty is payable under this paragraph in respect of an inaccuracy whether or not the other company is liable to a penalty under paragraph 30 in respect of the same inaccuracy.
3
A penalty payable under this paragraph is equal to the notional tax.

Reductions in amount of penalty for disclosure or special circumstances
33
1
If a company liable to a penalty under paragraph 30 or 32 in respect of an inaccuracy discloses the inaccuracy—
a
the penalty must be reduced to one that reflects the quality of the disclosure (including its timing, nature and extent), but
b
the penalty may not be reduced below the applicable minimum.
2
In the case of a penalty under paragraph 30, the applicable minimum is—
a
in the case of a careless inaccuracy, 0% of the notional tax if the disclosure is unprompted and 15% otherwise,
b
in the case of a deliberate inaccuracy that is not concealed, 30% of the notional tax if the disclosure is unprompted and 45% otherwise, and
c
in the case of a deliberate inaccuracy that is concealed, 40% of the notional tax if the disclosure is unprompted and 60% otherwise.
3
In the case of a penalty under paragraph 32, the applicable minimum is 40% of the notional tax if the disclosure is unprompted and 60% otherwise.
4
For the purposes of this paragraph—
a
a person makes a disclosure of an inaccuracy by telling an officer of Revenue and Customs about it, giving an officer of Revenue and Customs reasonable help in quantifying it and allowing an officer of Revenue and Customs access to records to ensure that it is fully corrected, and
b
a person makes an “unprompted” disclosure at any time if the person has no reason at that time to believe that an officer of Revenue and Customs have discovered, or are about to discover, the inaccuracy.
5
If they think it right because of special circumstances, an officer of Revenue and Customs may—
a
reduce a penalty under paragraph 30 or 32, or
b
stay the penalty or agree a compromise in relation to proceedings for the penalty.
6
The reference to special circumstances does not include an ability to pay but, subject to that, is taken to include, or exclude, such other circumstances as are prescribed by regulations made by the Commissioners.
7
The power to prescribe circumstances includes power to prescribe circumstances by reference to the notional tax and the extent to which the notional tax exceeds, or is likely to exceed, any actual loss of tax to the Crown.

Assessment, payment and enforcement of penalty
34
1
If a person becomes liable to a penalty under paragraph 30 or 32, an officer of Revenue and Customs must—
a
assess the penalty, and
b
notify the person.
2
The assessment must be made within the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which the inaccuracy is corrected.
3
The penalty must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with—
a
the day on which the person was notified of the penalty, or
b
if notice of appeal against the penalty is given, the day on which the appeal is finally determined or withdrawn.
4
An assessment may be enforced—
a
as if it were an assessment to corporation tax (which, among other things, secures the application of Chapters 6 and 7 of Part 22 of CTA 2010 (corporation tax payable by non-UK resident companies: recovery from others)), and
b
as if that assessment were also an assessment to corporation tax of any company which was a
UK
group company of the group at any time in the period of account in relation to which the interest restriction return contained an inaccuracy.

Right to appeal against penalty or its amount
35
A person may, by notice, appeal against—
a
a decision of an officer of Revenue and Customs that a penalty under paragraph 30 or 32 is payable, or
b
a decision of an officer of Revenue and Customs as to the amount of a penalty under paragraph 30 or 32.

Procedure on appeal
36
1
Notice of an appeal under paragraph 35 must be given—
a
within 30 days after the penalty was notified to the person,
b
to an officer of Revenue and Customs.
2
On an appeal notified to the tribunal against a decision that a penalty is payable, the tribunal may confirm or cancel the decision.
3
On an appeal notified to the tribunal against the amount of a penalty, the tribunal may—
a
confirm the decision, or
b
substitute for the decision another decision that an officer of Revenue and Customs had power to make.
4
If the tribunal substitutes its decision for a decision of an officer of Revenue and Customs, the tribunal may rely on paragraph 33(5)—
a
to the same extent as an officer of Revenue and Customs (which may mean applying the same percentage reduction as the officer to a different starting point), or
b
to a different extent, but only if the tribunal thinks that the decision in respect of the application of paragraph 33(5) was flawed.
5
For this purpose “
flawed
” means flawed when considered in the light of the principles applicable in proceedings for judicial review.
6
Subject to this Part of this Schedule, the provisions of Part 5 of
TMA
1970 relating to appeals have effect in relation to appeals under this Part of this Schedule as they have effect in relation to appeals against an assessment to corporation tax.

Payments between companies in respect of penalties
37
1
This paragraph applies if—
a
a company (“P”) liable to a penalty under this Part of this Schedule has an agreement in relation to the penalty with one or more other companies within the charge to corporation tax, and
b
as a result of the agreement, P receives a payment or payments in respect of the penalty that do not, in total, exceed the amount of the penalty.
2
The payment—
a
is not to be taken into account in calculating the profits for corporation tax purposes of either P or the company making the payment, and
b
is not to be regarded as a distribution for corporation tax purposes.
PART 3

Duty to keep and preserve records

Duty to keep and preserve records
38
1
A company which is a reporting company in relation to a period of account of a worldwide group must—
a
keep such records as may be needed to enable it to submit a correct and complete interest restriction return for the period, and
b
preserve those records in accordance with this paragraph.
2
The records must be preserved until the end of the relevant day.
3
In this paragraph “
the relevant day
” means—
a
the sixth anniversary of the end of the period of account, or
b
such earlier date as may be specified in writing by an officer of Revenue and Customs (and different days may be specified for different cases).
4
If the company is required to submit an interest restriction return for the period before the end of the relevant day, the records must be preserved until any later date on which—
a
any enquiry into the return is complete, or
b
if there is no enquiry, an officer of Revenue and Customs no longer has the power to enquire into the return (but, for this purpose, paragraph 42 is to be ignored).
5
If the company is required to submit an interest restriction return for the period after the end of the relevant day and has in its possession at that time any records that may be needed to enable it to submit a correct and complete return, it is under a duty to preserve those records until the date on which—
a
any enquiry into the return is complete, or
b
if there is no enquiry, an officer of Revenue and Customs no longer has the power to enquire into the return (but, for this purpose, paragraph 42 is to be ignored).
6
The duty under this paragraph to preserve records may be discharged—
a
by preserving them in any form and by any means, or
b
by preserving the information contained in them in any form and by any means,
subject to any conditions or exceptions specified in writing by an officer of Revenue and Customs.
7
The Commissioners may by regulations—
a
provide that the records required to be kept and preserved under this paragraph include, or do not include, records specified in the regulations, and
b
provide that those records include supporting documents so specified.
8
The regulations may make provision by reference to things specified in a notice published by the Commissioners in accordance with the regulations (and not withdrawn by a subsequent notice).

Penalty for failure to keep and preserve records
39
1
A company which fails to comply with paragraph 38 is liable to a penalty not exceeding £3,000.
2
If a company becomes liable to a penalty under this paragraph, an officer of Revenue and Customs must—
a
assess the penalty, and
b
notify the company.
3
The assessment must be made within the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which an officer of Revenue and Customs first becomes aware that the company has failed to comply with paragraph 38.
4
A company may, by notice, appeal against a decision of an officer of Revenue and Customs that a penalty is payable under this paragraph.
5
Notice of appeal under this paragraph must be given—
a
within 30 days after the penalty was notified to the company,
b
to the officer of Revenue and Customs who notified the company.
6
A penalty under this paragraph must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with—
a
the day on which the company was notified of the penalty, or
b
if notice of appeal against the penalty is given, the day on which the appeal is finally determined or withdrawn.
PART 4

Enquiry into interest restriction return

Notice of enquiry
40
1
An officer of Revenue and Customs may enquire into an interest restriction return submitted by a reporting company if the officer gives notice to the company of the officer's intention to do so (“notice of enquiry”).
2
The general rule is that an interest restriction return which has been the subject of one notice of enquiry may not be the subject of another.
3
If a return (“the previous return”) is superseded by an interest restriction return submitted under paragraph 8 (“the revised return”), notice of enquiry may be given in relation to the revised return even though notice of enquiry has been given in relation to the previous return.
4
But see paragraph 43(5) for a limitation in certain circumstances on the scope of an enquiry into an interest restriction return submitted under paragraph 8.
5
The power to give notice of enquiry into an interest restriction return for a period of account of a worldwide group does not restrict the power to give notice of enquiry into a company tax return of a company that is a member of the group at any time in that period.
6
Accordingly, an amendment of the company's company tax return may be required as a result of an enquiry into the interest restriction return even though a closure notice has been given in respect of an enquiry into that company tax return.
7
But see paragraph 43(2) for a limitation on the scope of an enquiry into an interest restriction return so far as affecting amounts in a company tax return.

Normal time limits for opening enquiry
41
1
This paragraph applies where an interest restriction return is submitted by a reporting company for a period of account.
2
Notice of enquiry may be given at any time before whichever is the latest of—
a
the end of the period of 39 months beginning with the end of the period of account;
b
... and
c
the end of 31 January, 30 April, 31 July or 31 October next following the first anniversary of the day on which an officer of Revenue and Customs receives the
return or
revised return.
3
If—
a
estimated information (or information deriving from estimated information) is included in an interest restriction return for a period of account in reliance on paragraph 27, and
b
a period of 36 months beginning with the end of that period of account has passed without the information becoming final,
notice of enquiry may be given at any time up to and including the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the end of that 36-month period.
4
This paragraph is subject to paragraph 42 (which allows notices of enquiry to be given after the time allowed by this paragraph or an enquiry previously closed to be re-opened).

Extended time limits for opening enquiries: discovery of errors
42
1
Notice of enquiry may be given later than the time allowed under paragraph 41, or a closed enquiry may be re-opened, if—
a
an officer of Revenue and Customs discovers that an interest restriction return submitted to an officer of Revenue and Customs does not, or might not, comply with the requirements of paragraph 20(3) in any respect,
b
there would be, or might be, an increase in tax payable by any company for any accounting period if the return had complied with those requirements in that respect,
c
the discovery is made after the time allowed under paragraph 41 or after an enquiry into the return has been closed, and
d
the officer could not, at the relevant time and by reference to the relevant information, have been reasonably expected to be aware of the respects in which the return might not comply with those requirements.
2
For this purpose “
the relevant time
” means—
a
in a case where no notice of enquiry has been given within the time allowed under paragraph 41, when an officer of Revenue and Customs ceased to be entitled to give a notice, or
b
in a case where an enquiry has been closed, when the officer gave the closure notice.
3
For this purpose “
the relevant information
” means information which—
a
is contained in the interest restriction return in question or either of the two returns for the immediately preceding periods of account of the group,
b
is contained in any documents, financial statements or other accounts or information produced or provided to an officer of Revenue or Customs for the purposes of an enquiry into the interest restriction return in question or either of the two returns for the immediately preceding periods of account of the group,
c
is information the existence of which, and the relevance of which as regards the situation mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), could reasonably be expected to be inferred by an officer of Revenue and Customs from information falling with paragraph (a) or (b) of this sub-paragraph, or
d
is information the existence of which, and the relevance of which as regards the situation mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), are notified in writing to an officer of Revenue and Customs by the reporting company for the period of account or a person acting on its behalf.
4
Notice of enquiry into an interest restriction return for a period of account may not be given, or a closed enquiry may not be re-opened, as a result of this paragraph more than the applicable number of years after the end of the period of account.
5
The “applicable number of years” is—
a
20 years in a case involving deliberate non-compliance by the reporting company for the period of account or by a qualifying person,
b
6 years in a case involving careless non-compliance by the reporting company for the period of account or by a qualifying person, and
c
4 years in any other case.
6
For this purpose “
qualifying person
” means—
a
a person acting on behalf of the reporting company for the period of account, or
b
a person who was a partner of the reporting company for the period of account at the relevant time.
7
For the purposes of this paragraph an enquiry is “closed” when a closure notice is given in relation to the enquiry.

Scope of enquiry
43
1
An enquiry into an interest restriction return extends to anything contained, or required to be contained, in the return (including any election included in the return).
2
But the enquiry does not extend to an enquiry into an amount—
a
which is contained, or required to be contained, in a company tax return of a
UK
group company, and
b
which is taken into account in any calculation required for the purposes of the interest restriction return.
3
Sub-paragraph (2) does not affect—
a
any question as to whether or not, as a result of this Part of this Act, the amount falls to be left out of account, or to be brought into account, in any accounting period of the company, or
b
the way in which, by reference to that amount and other matters, any provision of this Part of this Act has effect to determine whether or not the amount, or any other amount, is to be left out of, or brought into account, in any accounting period (whether of that company or another company).
4
Nor does sub-paragraph (2) limit the operation of any provision of Part 4 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (determinations and assessments made by officers of Revenue and Customs).
5
If—
a
at any time an enquiry into an interest restriction return (“the previous return”) has been closed, and
b
the previous return is subsequently superseded by an interest restriction return submitted under paragraph 8 (“the revised return”),
the enquiry into the revised return extends only to matters arising as a result of information that was not included in the previous return.
6
For this purpose an enquiry is “closed” when a closure notice is given in relation to the enquiry.

Enquiry into return for wrong period or wrong group
44
1
If it appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs that the period of account for which an interest restriction return has been submitted is or may be the wrong period, the power to enquire into the return includes power to enquire into the period for which the return ought to have been made.
2
If sub-paragraph (1) applies, paragraph 41 (normal time limits for opening enquiry) has effect as if the return were one that had been submitted for the correct period of account.
3
If it appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs that the worldwide group (“the relevant group”) in relation to which an interest restriction return has been submitted—
a
consists of, or may consist of, two or more worldwide groups,
b
includes, or may include, entities that are members of a different worldwide group or groups, or
c
does not include, or may not include, entities that should be members of the relevant group,
the power to enquire into the return includes power to enquire into the returns for the periods of account of the worldwide groups which ought to have been made.

Amendment of self-assessment during enquiry to prevent loss of tax
45
1
If after notice of enquiry has been given into an interest restriction return but before the enquiry is completed, an officer of Revenue and Customs forms the opinion that—
a
the amount stated in the self-assessment of a company as the amount of tax payable is insufficient,
b
the deficiency is attributable to matters in relation to which the enquiry extends, and
c
unless the assessment is immediately amended there is likely to be a loss of tax to the Crown,
the officer may by notice to the company amend its self-assessment to make good the deficiency.
2
In sub-paragraph (1) the reference to a company is to a company that was a member of the group at any time in the period of account for which the interest restriction return was submitted.
3
An appeal may be brought, by notice, against an amendment of a company's self-assessment by an officer of Revenue and Customs under this paragraph.
4
Notice of appeal must be given—
a
within 30 days after the amendment was notified to the company,
b
to the officer of Revenue and Customs by whom the notice of amendment was given.
5
None of the steps mentioned in section 49A(2)(a) to (c) of
TMA
1970 (reviews of the matter or notification of appeal to tribunal) may be taken in relation to the appeal before the completion of the enquiry.
6
In this paragraph “
self-assessment
” has the meaning given by paragraph 7 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998.

Revision of interest restriction return during enquiry
46
1
This paragraph applies if a reporting company submits a revised interest restriction return at a time when an enquiry is in progress into the previous return.
2
The submission of the revised return does not restrict the scope of the enquiry but the revisions may be taken into account (together with any matter arising) in the enquiry.
3
So far as the revised return affects the tax payable by a company, it does not take effect until the enquiry is completed (and, accordingly, paragraph 70 has effect subject to this sub-paragraph).
4
But sub-paragraph (3) does not affect any claim by the company under section 59DA of
TMA
1970 (claim for repayment in advance of liability being established).
5
The submission of a revised return whose effect is deferred under sub-paragraph (3) takes effect as follows—
a
if the conclusions in the closure notice state either—
i
that the revisions were not taken into account in the enquiry, or
ii
that no revision of the revised return is required arising from the enquiry,
the revision takes effect on the completion of the enquiry, and
b
in any other case, the revisions take effect as part of the steps required to be taken in order to give effect to the conclusions stated in the closure notice.
6
For the purposes of this paragraph the period during which an enquiry into an interest restriction return is in progress is the whole of the period—
a
beginning with the day on which an officer of Revenue and Customs gives notice of enquiry into the return, and
b
ending with the day on which the enquiry is completed.

Completion of enquiry
47
1
An enquiry into an interest restriction return submitted by a reporting company is completed when an officer of Revenue and Customs by notice (a “closure notice”)—
a
informs the company that the officer has completed the enquiry, and
b
states the officer's conclusions.
2
The closure notice takes effect when it is given.
3
If an officer of Revenue and Customs concludes that the return should have been made for one or more different periods of account of the group, the closure notice must designate the period of account (or periods of account) for which the return should have been made.
4
If an officer of Revenue and Customs concludes that an interest restriction return in relation to a worldwide group should have been submitted—
a
in relation to one or more different worldwide groups, or
b
in relation to a different membership,
the closure notice must designate each period of account of a worldwide group for which an interest restriction return should have been made or for which an interest restriction return should have been submitted in relation to a different membership.
5
If the officer concludes that the group in relation to which the return was submitted has a different membership, the designation under sub-paragraph (4) must also include details of the members of the group that the officer considers are
UK
group companies.
6
If the officer concludes that the return should have been submitted in relation to one or more different worldwide groups, the designation under sub-paragraph (4) must also include—
a
sufficient details to identify the different worldwide group or groups, and
b
details of the members of the group that the officer considers are
UK
group companies.
7
A designation by a closure notice of a period of account under this paragraph must specify the dates on which the period of account begins and ends.
8
In this paragraph references to
UK
group companies, in relation to a period of account, do not include
UK
group companies that are dormant throughout the period.

Direction to complete enquiry
48
1
An application may be made at any time to the tribunal for a direction that an officer of Revenue and Customs gives a closure notice in respect of an enquiry into an interest restriction return within a specified period.
2
The application is to be made by the reporting company for the period of account of the group for which the return was submitted.
3
The application is subject to the relevant provisions of Part 5 of
TMA
1970 (see, in particular, section 48(2)(b) of that Act).
4
The tribunal must give a direction unless satisfied that an officer of Revenue and Customs has reasonable grounds for not giving a closure notice within a specified period.

Conclusions of enquiry
49
1
This paragraph applies where a closure notice is given under paragraph 47 to a company by an officer.
2
The closure notice must—
a
state that, in the officer's opinion, no steps are required to be taken by the company as a result of the enquiry, or
b
state the steps that the company is required to take in order to give effect to the conclusions stated in the notice.
3
The closure notice may (but need not) specify the allocated disallowance for particular companies specified in the notice.
4
If—
a
the return was made for the wrong period, and
b
a period of account designated under paragraph 47(3) begins or ends at any time in that period,
the closure notice must require the company to take steps to make the return one appropriate to that designated period of account.
5
If there is more than one designated period of account within sub-paragraph (4), the closure notice must require the company to submit an interest restriction return for each of those designated periods of account.
6
If—
a
a period of account of a worldwide group (“the relevant group”) is designated under paragraph 47(4),
b
the company is a member of the relevant group for that period of account, and
c
condition A or B is met,
the closure notice must require the company to submit an interest restriction return for the designated period of account of the relevant group.
7
Condition A is met if the
UK
group companies comprised in the relevant group were regarded as members of the worldwide group in relation to which the return was made.
8
Condition B is met if—
a
the relevant group includes
UK
group companies that were not regarded as members of the group in relation to which the return was made, and
b
the ultimate parent of the relevant group is not the ultimate parent of a worldwide group in relation to which a reporting company has been appointed for a period of account that includes a time falling within the designated period of account of the relevant group.
9
If sub-paragraph (6) applies in relation to two or more designated periods of account of a worldwide group (whether those periods are of the same or different groups), the closure notice must require the company to submit separate interest restriction returns for each of the designated periods of account.
10
If, as a result of this paragraph, a closure notice requires a company to submit an interest restriction return for a period of account of a worldwide group, the company is treated for the purposes of this Part of this Act as if it had been appointed as the reporting company of the group in relation to the period.
11
For this purpose it does not matter whether the return that was subject to the enquiry was submitted in relation to a different worldwide group.
12
Sub-paragraph (10) is ignored in determining the period within which the return must be submitted (as to which, see instead paragraph 50(2)).

Interest restriction returns to be submitted to an officer of Revenue and Customs
50
1
If, as a result of a closure notice given under paragraph 47 (closure notice in respect of a return subject to enquiry), a company is required to submit one or more interest restriction returns, the return or returns must—
a
be submitted to an officer of Revenue and Customs,
b
give effect to the conclusions stated in the notice, and
c
contain such consequential provision as the company considers appropriate.
2
A return submitted in compliance with the closure notice is of no effect unless it is received by an officer of Revenue and Customs before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the closure notice is given to the company.
3
A return submitted in compliance with the closure notice—
a
must indicate the respects in which it differs from the return that was the subject of the enquiry, and
b
supersedes that return.
4
For provision dealing with cases where no return is submitted before the end of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (2), see paragraph 58.

Return in relation to a worldwide group: other entities part of another group
51
1
This paragraph applies if—
a
an enquiry has been made into an interest restriction return (“the original return”) for a period of account of a worldwide group (“the original group”),
b
a closure notice has been given in respect of the enquiry that designates a period of account of a worldwide group under paragraph 47(4) (“the new group”),
c
the new group consists of both
UK
group companies that were not regarded as members of the original group and other
UK
group companies, and
d
the ultimate parent of the new group is the ultimate parent of a worldwide group (“the existing group”) in relation to which a reporting company has been appointed for a period of account that includes a time falling within the designated period of account of the new group.
2
An officer of Revenue and Customs must give a notice to that company appointing it as the reporting company in relation to each designated period of account of the new group.
3
The notice of appointment must be given within the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the closure notice was given.
4
If—
a
an interest restriction return has been submitted for a period of account of the existing group, and
b
that period of account begins or ends at any time in a designated period of account of the new group,
the return is to be treated as withdrawn.
5
Accordingly—
a
any notice of enquiry or closure notice in relation to the return is also to be treated as withdrawn,
b
any appeal in respect of any matter stated in a closure notice in relation to the return is treated as withdrawn, and
c
any determination of any such appeal is treated as being of no effect.
6
If—
a
an interest restriction return for a period of account is treated as withdrawn as a result of sub-paragraph (4), and
b
the period of account begins at any time before a designated period of account of the new group,
the notice under sub-paragraph (2) is also to be treated as if it constituted, on the day on which it is given, the appointment of the company in relation to a period of account of the existing group beginning with that time and ending immediately before the beginning of the designated period of account.
7
If—
a
enquiries are open at any time in relation to more than one interest restriction return, and
b
this paragraph is capable of applying by reference to a closure notice to be given in respect of any one of those enquiries (so that a worldwide group could be either the original group or the existing group),
an officer of Revenue and Customs must select the company that, in the officer's opinion, ought to be the reporting company in relation to the new group.
8
For this purpose an enquiry is “
open
” in relation to an interest restriction return if no closure notice has been given in relation to the enquiry.

2
An officer of Revenue and Customs may determine that, in preparing the return, a different just and reasonable basis should have been adopted for dealing with that thing.

Consequential claims to company tax returns
72
1
This paragraph applies if—
a
a company amends, or is treated as amending, its company tax return for an accounting period in consequence of a closure notice given in respect of an interest restriction return under paragraph 47 or a notice of determination given to the company under paragraph
...
58, and
b
the amendment has the effect of increasing the amount of corporation tax payable by the company for the accounting period.
2
Any qualifying claim may be made or given within the period of one year beginning with the day on which the company receives a copy of the closure notice under paragraph 60(5) or the notice of determination.
3
Any qualifying claim previously made which is not irrevocable—
a
may be revoked or varied within that one-year period, and
b
if it is revoked or varied, must be done so in the same manner as it was made and by or with the consent of the same person or persons who made or consented to it (or, if a person has died, by or with the consent of the person's personal representatives).
4
For the purposes of this paragraph a claim is a “qualifying” claim if its making, revocation or variation has the effect of reducing the liability of the company to corporation tax for the accounting period (whether or not it also reduces the liability to tax of the company for other periods).
5
But a claim is not a “qualifying” claim if—
a
the making, revocation or variation of the claim would alter the liability to tax of any person other than the company, or
b
the making, revocation or variation of the claim is such that, if it were to be made, revoked or varied, the total of the reductions in liability to tax of the company would exceed the additional liability to corporation tax resulting from the amendment.
6
If a qualifying claim is made, revoked or varied as a result of this paragraph, all such adjustments must be made as are required to take account of the effect of taking that action on the liability of the company to tax for any period.
7
The adjustments may be made by way of discharge or repayment of tax or the making of amendments, assessments or otherwise.
8
The provisions of
TMA
1970 relating to appeals against decisions on claims apply with any necessary modifications to a decision on the revocation or variation of a claim as a result of this paragraph.
9
In this paragraph (except in sub-paragraph (8)) “
claim
” includes an election, an application and a notice, and references to making a claim are to be read accordingly.
10
In this paragraph “tax” (except in the expression “
corporation tax
”) includes income tax and capital gains tax.

73
In this Schedule “

2
If the amount can no longer be altered, it is taken to be conclusively determined for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts.
3
An amount is regarded as one that can no longer be altered if—
a
the interest restriction return has not been superseded by a subsequent interest restriction return;
b
the applicable time limit has passed;
c
any enquiry into the interest restriction return has been completed;
d
if the closure notice in relation to an enquiry into the interest restriction return contained a statement under paragraph 49(2)(b), the period within which an appeal against the statement may be brought has ended; and
e
if such an appeal is brought, the appeal has been finally determined.
4
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) the “
applicable time limit
” means the time limit in paragraph 8(3) or, in a case where paragraph 57(2) or (4) applies and imposes a later time limit for submission of the interest restriction return, that later time limit.

b
any power to make a determination under paragraph 56 or 58 (determinations by officers of Revenue and Customs).
