Finance Act 2014

Summary

1.This section makes amendments to the “worldwide debt cap” (WWDC) legislation which places certain limitations on the deductibility of interest and similar expenses in computing corporation tax where the combined funding expenses of the UK members of a group exceed the funding expenses of the group as a whole.  The changes clarify the position in cases where a group includes entities that do not have ordinary share capital. The measure also makes a minor change to the power to make regulations relevant to the potential impact of the provisions on whole business securitisations.
