Schedule 30: Section 208 Penalty: Value of the denied advantage
89.Paragraph 2(1) defines the value of the denied advantage as the additional amount of tax due or payable resulting from the advantage being counteracted.
90.Paragraph 2(3) excludes two specific items from the calculation of the denied advantage in respect of Corporation Tax. These are group relief and relief under section 458 of CTA 2010 in respect of repayment of loans, where that relief is deferred under section 458(5) of CTA 2010.
91.Paragraph 3(2)(b) provides that 10 per cent of any part of a loss not used to reduce the amount of tax due and payable shall be included in the value of the denied advantage.
92.Paragraph 3(4) provides that where a group of companies has an aggregate loss (for Corporation Tax) group relief is not disregarded when quantifying the relevant denied advantage.
93.Paragraph 3(5) provides that where the nature of the loss is, or the person’s circumstances are, such that there is no reasonable prospect of the loss being used to reduce a tax liability of any person, there will be no penalty.
94.Paragraph 4 provides a special rule for quantifying a tax advantage which comprises the deferral of tax.
