2
If the person's residence nil-rate amount is greater than nil, the portion of VT that does not exceed the person's residence nil-rate amount is charged at the rate of 0%.
3
References in section 7(1) to the value transferred by the chargeable transfer under section 4 on the person's death are to be read as references to the remainder (if any) of VT.

calculate the percentage that is the total of those percentages, and
d
the amount that is that total percentage of the residential enhancement at P's death is P's brought-forward allowance or, if that total percentage is greater than 100%, P's brought-forward allowance is the amount of the residential enhancement at P's death,
but P's brought-forward allowance is nil if no claim for it is made under section 8L.

the estate of a person (“D”) immediately before D's death includes a qualifying residential interest,
b
D dies on or after 6 April 2017, and
c
some or all of the transfer of value under section 4 on D's death is a conditionally exempt transfer of property consisting of, or including, some or all of the qualifying residential interest.
2
For the purposes of sections 8E and 8F, but subject to subsection (3), the exempt percentage of the qualifying residential interest is treated as being not closely inherited; and for this purpose “the exempt percentage” is given by—
X/(Q R I) × 100
where—
X is the attributable portion of the value transferred by the conditionally exempt transfer,
QRI is the attributable portion of the value transferred by the transfer under section 4, and
“the attributable portion” means the portion (which may be the whole) attributable to the qualifying residential interest.
3
For the purposes of calculating tax chargeable under section 32 or 32A by reference to a chargeable event related to the qualifying residential interest where D is the relevant person for the purposes of section 33—
a
in subsection (2), X is calculated as if the property forming the subject-matter of the conditionally exempt transfer had not included the property on which the tax is chargeable,
b

ii
D's residence nil-rate amount for the purposes of the charge to tax under section 4 on D's death.

5
For the purposes of calculating tax chargeable under section 32 or 32A by reference to a chargeable event related to the qualifying residential interest which occurs after P's death, the amount that would otherwise be D's residence nil-rate amount for those purposes is reduced by the amount (if any) by which P's residence nil-rate amount, or the residence nil-rate amount of any person who dies after P but before the chargeable event occurs, was increased by reason of an amount being available for carry-forward from D's death.
6
Where tax is chargeable under section 32 or 32A by reference to a chargeable event related to the qualifying residential interest which occurs before P's death, section 8G(3) has effect for the purpose of calculating P's brought-forward allowance as if—
a
before the “and” at the end of paragraph (c) there were inserted—
ca
reduce that total (but not below nil) by deducting from it the recapture percentage,
,
b
in paragraph (d), before “total”, in both places, there were inserted “reduced”, and
c
the reference to the recapture percentage were to the percentage given by—

In section 80 of IHTA 1984 (initial interest of settlor or spouse or civil partner), for “an interest in possession”, in each place it appears, substitute “ a qualifying interest in possession ”.
2
The amendments made by this section come into force on the day after the day on which this Act is passed subject to the saving provision in subsections (3) to (7).
3
Subsections (4) to (7) apply where—
a
the occasion first referred to in subsection (1) of section 80 of IHTA 1984 occurred before 22 March 2006,
b
on that occasion the settlor, or the settlor's spouse or civil partner, became beneficially entitled to an interest in possession in property which, as a result of that subsection, was treated as not becoming comprised in a settlement for the purposes of Chapter 3 of Part 3 of IHTA 1984 on that occasion, and
c
at all times in the relevant period that property, or some particular part of it, has been property in which the settlor, or the settlor's spouse or civil partner, has been beneficially entitled to an interest in possession,
and in subsections (4) to (7) “the protected property” means that property or, as the case may be, that particular part of it.
4
The amendments made by subsection (1) do not have effect in relation to any particular part of the protected property for so long as the subsisting interest in possession continues to subsist in that part (but see subsections (5) and (6) for what happens afterwards).

As from immediately before the time when the subsisting interest in possession comes to an end so far as subsisting in any particular part of the protected property (whether or not it also comes to an end at the same time so far as subsisting in some or all of the rest of the protected property), section 80(1) of IHTA 1984 has effect in relation to that part as if the second appearance of “an interest in possession” were “a qualifying interest in possession”.
6
If (ignoring this subsection), subsection (5) would have the consequence that a particular part of the protected property is treated as becoming comprised in a separate settlement at a time earlier than the time at which the subsisting interest in possession comes to an end so far as subsisting in that part, that part is to be treated as becoming comprised in a separate settlement at that later time.
7
In this section—
a
“the relevant period” means the period beginning with the occasion first mentioned in section 80(1) of IHTA 1984 and ending with the day on which this Act is passed,
b
“qualifying interest in possession” has the same meaning as in section 80(1) of IHTA 1984,
c
“subsisting interest in possession”, in relation to a part of the protected property, means the interest in possession which subsisted in that part immediately before the end of the relevant period, and
d
the reference in subsection (3)(c) to the spouse or civil partner of a settlor includes a reference to the widow or widower or surviving civil partner of the settlor.

Restitution interest
CHAPTER 1

Amounts taxed as restitution interest

Charge to corporation tax on restitution interest
357YA
The charge to corporation tax on income applies to restitution interest arising to a company.

Restitution interest chargeable as income
357YB
1
Profits arising to a company which consist of restitution interest are chargeable to tax as income under this Part (regardless of whether the profits are of an income or capital nature).
2
In this Part references to “profits” are to be interpreted in accordance with section 2(2) of CTA 2009.

Meaning of “restitution interest”
357YC
1
In this Part “restitution interest” means profits in relation to which Conditions A to C are met.
2
Condition A is that the profits are interest paid or payable by the Commissioners in respect of a claim by the company for restitution with regard to either of the following matters (or alleged matters)—
a
the payment of an amount to the Commissioners under a mistake of law relating to a taxation matter, or
b
the unlawful collection by the Commissioners of an amount in respect of taxation.
3
Condition B is that—
a
a court has made a final determination that the Commissioners are liable to pay the interest, or
b
the Commissioners and the company, have in final settlement of the claim, entered into an agreement under which the company is entitled to be paid, or is to retain, the interest.
4
Condition C is that the interest determined to be due, or agreed upon, as mentioned in subsection (3) is not limited to simple interest at a statutory rate (see section 357YU).
5
Subsection (4) does not prevent so much of an amount of interest determined to be due, or agreed upon, as represents or is calculated by reference to simple interest at a statutory rate from falling within the definition of “restitution interest”.
6
For the purposes of subsection (2) it does not matter whether the interest is paid or payable—
a
pursuant to a judgment or order of a court,
b
as an interim payment in court proceedings,
c
under an agreement to settle a claim, or
d
in any other circumstances.
7
For the purposes of this section—
a
“interest” includes an amount equivalent to interest, and
b
an amount paid or payable by the Commissioners as mentioned in subsection (2) is “equivalent to interest” so far as it is an amount determined by reference to the time value of money.
8
For the purposes of this section a determination made by a court is “final” if the determination cannot be varied on appeal (whether because of the absence of any right of appeal, the expiry of a time limit for making an appeal without an appeal having been brought, the refusal of permission to appeal, the abandonment of an appeal or otherwise).
9
Any power to grant permission to appeal out of time is to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (8).

Further provision about amounts included, or not included, in “restitution interest”
357YD
1
Interest paid to a company is not restitution interest for the purposes of this Part if—
a
Condition B was not met in relation to the interest until after the interest was paid, and
b
the amount paid was limited to simple interest at a statutory rate
2
Subsection (1) does not prevent so much of a relevant amount of interest determined to be due, agreed upon or otherwise paid as represents or is calculated by reference to simple interest at a statutory rate from falling within the definition of “restitution interest”.
3
In subsection (2) “relevant amount of interest” means an amount of interest the whole of which was paid before Condition B was met in relation to it.
4
Section 357YC(7) applies in relation to this section as in relation to section 357YC.

Period in which amounts are to be brought into account
357YE
1
The amounts to be brought into account as restitution interest for any period for the purposes of this Part are those that are recognised in determining the company's profit or loss for the period in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.
2
If Condition A in section 357YC is met, in relation to any amount, after the end of the period for which the amount is to be brought into account as restitution interest in accordance with subsection (1), any necessary adjustments are to be made; and any time limits for the making of adjustments are to be disregarded for this purpose.

Companies without GAAP-compliant accounts
357YF
1
If a company—
a
draws up accounts which are not GAAP-compliant accounts, or
b
does not draw up accounts at all,
this Part applies as if GAAP-compliant accounts had been drawn up.
2
Accordingly, references in this Part to amounts recognised for accounting purposes are references to amounts that would have been recognised if GAAP-compliant accounts had been drawn up for the period of account in question and any relevant earlier period.
3
For this purpose a period of account is relevant to a later period if the accounts for the later period rely to any extent on amounts derived from the earlier period.
4
In this section “GAAP-compliant accounts” means accounts drawn up in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.

Restitution interest: appeals made out of time
357YG
1
This section applies where—
a
an amount of interest (“the interest”) arises to a company as restitution interest for the purposes of this Part,
b
Condition B in section 357YC is met in relation to the interest as a result of the making by a court of a final determination as mentioned in subsection (3)(a) of that section,
c
on a late appeal (or a further appeal subsequent to such an appeal) a court reverses that determination, or varies it so as to negative it, and
d
the determination reversing or varying the determination by virtue of which Condition B was met is itself a final determination.
2
This Part has effect as if the interest had never been restitution interest.
3
If—
a
the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs have under section 357YO(2) deducted a sum representing corporation tax from the interest, or
b
a sum has been paid as corporation tax in respect of the interest under section 357YQ,
that sum is treated for all purposes as if it had never been paid to, or deducted or held by, the Commissioners as or in respect of corporation tax.
4
Any adjustments are to be made that are necessary in accordance with this section; and any time limits applying to the making of adjustments are to be ignored.
5
In this section—
- “final determination” has the same meaning as in section 357YC;
- “late appeal” means an appeal which is made by reason of a court giving leave to appeal out of time.

Countering effect of avoidance arrangements
357YH
1
Any restitution-related tax advantages that would (in the absence of this section) arise from relevant avoidance arrangements are to be counteracted by the making of such adjustments as are just and reasonable in relation to amounts to be brought into account for the purposes of this Part.
2
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 otherwise.
3
For the meaning of “relevant avoidance arrangements” and “restitution-related tax advantage” see section 357YI.

Interpretation of section 357YH
357YI
1
This section applies for the interpretation of section 357YH (and this section).
2
“Arrangements” include any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).
3
Arrangements are “relevant avoidance arrangements” if their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, is to enable a company to obtain a tax advantage in relation to the application of the charge to tax at the restitution payments rate.
4
But arrangements are not “relevant avoidance arrangements” if the obtaining of any tax advantages that would (in the absence of section 357YH) arise from them can reasonably be regarded as consistent with wholly commercial arrangements.
5
“Tax advantage” includes—
a
a repayment of tax or increased repayment of tax,
b
the avoidance or reduction of a charge to tax or an assessment to tax,
c
the avoidance of a possible assessment to tax,
d
deferral of a payment of tax or advancement of a repayment of tax, or
e
the avoidance of an obligation to deduct or account for tax.
6
In subsection (5)(b) and (c) the references to avoidance or reduction include an avoidance or reduction effected by receipts accruing in such a way that the recipient does not bear tax on them as restitution interest under this Part.

Examples of results that may indicate exclusion not applicable
357YJ
Each of the following is an example of something which might indicate that arrangements whose main purpose, or one of whose main purposes, is to enable a company to obtain a restitution-related tax advantage are not excluded by section 357YI(4) from being “relevant avoidance arrangements” for the purposes of section 357YH—

3
If the condition in subsection (2)(b) is met in circumstances where the company is not liable to repay the net amount to the Commissioners, the Commissioners must—
a
repay to the company the amount treated under subsection (1) as paid by the company, and
b
make any other necessary adjustments;
and any time limits applying to the making of adjustments are to be ignored.
4
If the condition in subsection (2)(b) is met by virtue of a company becoming liable to repay to the Commissioners the amount paid as mentioned in subsection (2)(a)—
a
this Part has effect as if the company were liable to repay the gross payment to the Commissioners, and
b
the amount deducted by the Commissioners as mentioned in subsection (2)(a) is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as money repaid by the company in partial satisfaction of its liability to repay the gross amount.
5
Subsections (3) and (4) have effect with the appropriate modifications if the condition in subsection (2)(b) is met in relation to part but not the whole of the gross amount mentioned in subsection (2)(a).

means a sum of carried interest where the provision of the sum to A or a person connected with A is deferred (whether pending the meeting of any conditions (including conditions which may never be met) or otherwise), and
b
includes A's share (as determined on a just and reasonable basis) of any carried interest the provision of which to A and one or more other persons, taken together, has been deferred (whether pending the meeting of any conditions (including conditions which may never be met) or otherwise).
In this subsection, in a case where the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to a company connected with A, the reference to a person connected with A does not include that company.
4
Where—
a
section 809EZDB of ITA 2007 has been disapplied in relation to a sum of deferred carried interest by virtue of subsection (2),
b
the sum ceases to be deferred carried interest in relation to A, and
c
the sum does not in any event arise to A apart from this subsection,
the sum is to be regarded as arising to A at the time it ceases to be deferred carried interest.
5
But subsection (4) does not apply if—
a
none of the enjoyment conditions is met in relation to the sum when it ceases to be deferred carried interest, and
b
there is no reasonable likelihood that any of those conditions will ever be met in relation to the sum.
6
The enjoyment conditions are—
a
the sum, or part of the sum, is in fact so dealt with by any person as to be calculated at some time to enure for the benefit of A or a person connected with A;
b
the sum's ceasing to be deferred carried interest in relation to A operates to increase the value to A or a person connected with A of any assets which—
i
A or the connected person holds, or
ii
are held for the benefit of A or the connected person;
c
A or a person connected with A receives or is entitled to receive at any time any benefit provided or to be provided out of the sum or part of the sum;
d
A or a person connected with A may become entitled to the beneficial enjoyment of the sum or part of the sum if one or more powers are exercised or successively exercised (and for these purposes it does not matter who may exercise the powers or whether they are exercisable with or without the consent of another person);
e
A or a person connected with A is able in any manner to control directly or indirectly the application of the sum or part of the sum.
In this subsection, in a case where the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to a company connected with A, references to a person connected with A do not include that company.
7
In determining whether any of the enjoyment conditions is met in relation to a sum or part of a sum—
a
regard must be had to the substantial result and effect of all the relevant circumstances, and
b
all benefits which may at any time accrue to a person as a result of the sum ceasing to be deferred carried interest in relation to A must be taken into account, irrespective of—
i
the nature or form of the benefits, or
ii
whether the person has legal or equitable rights in respect of the benefits.
8
The enjoyment condition in subsection (6)(b), (c) or (d) is to be treated as not met if it would be met only by reason of A holding shares or an interest in shares in a company.
9
The enjoyment condition in subsection (6)(a) or (e) is to be treated as not met if the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to a company connected with A and—
a
the company is liable to pay corporation tax in respect of its profits and the sum is included in the computation of those profits, or
b
paragraph (a) does not apply but—
i
the company is a CFC and the exemption in Chapter 14 of Part 9A of TIOPA 2010 applies for the accounting period in which the sum arises, or
ii
the company is not a CFC but, if it were, that exemption would apply for that period.
In this subsection “CFC” has the same meaning as in Part 9A of TIOPA 2010.
10
But subsections (8) and (9) do not apply if the sum referred to in subsection (2) arises to the company referred to in subsection (2)(a) or the person referred to in subsection (2)(b) as part of arrangements where—
a
it is reasonable to assume that in the absence of the arrangements the sum or part of the sum would have arisen to A or an individual connected with A, and
b
it is reasonable to assume that the arrangements have as their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, the avoidance of a liability to pay income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or corporation tax.
11
The condition in subsection (10)(b) is to be regarded as met in a case where the sum is applied directly or indirectly as an investment in a collective investment scheme.
12
Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to any sum in relation to which the condition in subsection (8)(b) of section 809EZDB is met by virtue of subsection (9) of that section.
13
Subsection (2) also does not apply if—
a
it is reasonable to assume that the deferral referred to in subsection (3)(a) or (b) is not the effect of genuine commercial arrangements, or
b
that deferral is the effect of such arrangements but it is reasonable to assume that the arrangements have as their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, the avoidance of a liability to pay income tax, capital gains tax, corporation tax or inheritance tax.
14
In subsection (13), “genuine commercial arrangements” means arrangements involving A (alone or jointly with others performing investment management services) and external investors in the investment scheme.
15
Section 993 of ITA 2007 (meaning of “connected”) applies for the purposes of this section but as if—
a
subsection (4) of that section were omitted, and
b
partners in a partnership in which A is also a partner were not “associates” of A for the purposes of sections 450 and 451 of CTA 2010 (“control”).

any order under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984 (interest on judgment debts etc).
3
The relevant enactment is to have effect in relation to the tax-related judgment debt as if for the rate specified in section 17(1) of the Judgments Act 1838 and any other rate specified in an order under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984 there were substituted—
a
in the case of a sum payable to the Commissioners, the late payment interest rate provided for in regulations made by the Treasury under section 103(1) of FA 2009, and
b
in the case of a sum payable by the Commissioners, the special repayment rate.
4
Subsection (3) does not affect any power of the court under the relevant enactment to prevent any sum from carrying interest or to provide for a rate of interest which is lower than (and incapable of exceeding) that for which the subsection provides.
5
If section 44A of the Administration of Justice Act 1970 (interest on judgment debts expressed otherwise than in sterling), or any corresponding provision made under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984 in relation to the county court, applies to a tax-related judgment debt—
a
subsection (3) does not apply, but
b
the court may not specify in an order under section 44A of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, or under any provision corresponding to that section which has effect under section 74 of the County Courts Act 1984, an interest rate which exceeds (or is capable of exceeding)—
i
in the case of a sum payable to the Commissioners, the rate mentioned in subsection (3)(a), or
ii
in the case of a sum payable by the Commissioners, the special repayment rate.
6
The “special repayment rate” is the percentage per annum given by the formula—
B R + 2
where BR is the official Bank rate determined by the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee at the operative meeting.
7
“The operative meeting”, in relation to the special repayment rate applicable in respect of any day, means the most recent meeting of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee apart from any meeting later than the 13th working day before that day.
8
The Treasury may by regulations made by statutory instrument—
a
repeal subsections (6) and (7), and
b
provide that the “special repayment rate” for the purposes of this section is the rate provided for in the regulations.
9
Regulations under subsection (8)—
a
may make different provision for different purposes,
b
may either themselves specify a rate of interest or make provision for such a rate to be determined (and to change from time to time) by reference to such rate, or the average of such rates, as may be referred to in the regulations,
c
may provide for rates to be reduced below, or increased above, what they would otherwise be by specified amounts or by reference to specified formulae,
d
may provide for rates arrived at by reference to averages to be rounded up or down,
e
may provide for circumstances in which the alteration of a rate of interest is or is not to take place, and
f
may provide that alterations of rates are to have effect for periods beginning on or after a day determined in accordance with the regulations (“the effective date”) regardless of—
i
the date of the judgment or order in question, and
ii
whether interest begins to run on or after the effective date, or began to run before that date.
10
A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (8) is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.
11
To the extent that a tax-related judgment debt consists of an award of costs to or against the Commissioners, the reference in section 24(2) of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 (which relates to interest on costs awarded to or against the Crown) to the rate at which interest is payable upon judgment debts due from or to the Crown is to be read as a reference to the rate at which interest is payable upon tax-related judgment debts.
12
This section has effect in relation to interest for periods beginning on or after 8 July 2015, regardless of—
a
the date of the judgment or order in question, and
b
whether interest begins to run on or after 8 July 2015, or began to run before that date.
13
Subsection (14) applies where, at any time during the period beginning with 8 July 2015 and ending immediately before the day on which this Act is passed (“the relevant period”)—
a
a payment is made in satisfaction of a tax-related judgment debt, and
b
the payment includes interest under a relevant enactment in respect of any part of the relevant period.
14
The court by which the judgment or order in question was given or made must, on an application made to it under this subsection by the person who made the payment, order the repayment of the amount by which the interest paid under the relevant enactment in respect of days falling within the relevant period exceeds the interest payable under the relevant enactment in respect of those days in accordance with the provisions of this section.
15
In this section—
- “the Commissioners” means the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs;
- “taxation matter” means anything ... the collection and management of which is the responsibility of the Commissioners (or was the responsibility of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or Commissioners of Customs and Excise);
- “working day” means any day other than a non-business day as defined in section 92 of the Bills of Exchange Act 1882.
16
