Separated spouses and civil partners 41 1 TCGA 1992 is amended in accordance with subsections (2) to (5). 2 In Part 3 (individuals, partnerships, trusts and collective investment schemes), in Chapter 1 (miscellaneous provisions), in section 58 (spouses and civil partnerships), for subsection (1) substitute— 1A If an individual (“A”) disposes of an asset to another individual (“B”) in circumstances where any of subsections (1B) to (1D) applies, A and B are to be treated as if B acquired the asset from A for a consideration of such amount as would secure that on the disposal neither a gain nor a loss would accrue to A. 1B This subsection applies where the disposal is made while A and B— a are married to, or are civil partners of, each other, and b are living together. 1C This subsection applies where the disposal is made— a while A and B are married to, or are civil partners of, each other, b at a time when A and B have ceased to live together, and c on or before the earlier of— i the last day of the third tax year after the tax year in which A and B ceased to live together, or ii the day on which a court grants an order or decree for A and B’s divorce, the annulment of their marriage, the dissolution or annulment of their civil partnership, their judicial separation or, as the case may be, their separation in accordance with a separation order. 1D This subsection applies where— a A and B have ceased to be, or are in the process of ceasing to be, married to, or civil partners of, each other, and b the disposal of the asset is in accordance with an agreement or order within subsection (2)(a) or (b) of section 225B (disposals in connection with divorce etc), but as if, in subsection (2)(a), after “partner” there were inserted “, or former spouse or civil partner,”. 3 In section 225B (disposals in connection with divorce etc)— a in subsection (1)(b), after “to” insert “someone other than”; b in subsection (3), after “disposal to” insert “someone other than”. 4 After section 225B insert— Deferred payments on disposals in connection with divorce etc 225BA 1 This section applies where— a an individual (“A”) ceases to live with A’s spouse or civil partner (“B”) in a dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house, b immediately before A ceases to live with B, the dwelling-house or part is A’s only or main residence, c A disposes of, or of an interest in, that dwelling-house or part to B (“the initial disposal”), and d the initial disposal is in accordance with a deferred sale agreement or order. 2 If— a in accordance with the deferred sale agreement or order A receives a sum in respect of a share of any profit made by B upon B’s disposal of, or of an interest in, the dwelling-house or part, and b the receipt of that sum would be treated (apart from this section) as a disposal falling with section 22 (disposal where capital sums derived from assets), that receipt is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as a gain attributable to the initial disposal but accruing to A at the time the sum is received. 3 In this section, a “deferred sale agreement or order” is an agreement or order of a court which— a is within paragraph (a) or (b), as the case may be, of section 225B(2) (agreements and orders of the court in relation to divorce etc), and b includes a term entitling A to receive a share of any profit made by B as mentioned in subsection (2)(a). 5 In Part 8 (supplemental), in section 288 (interpretation), in subsection (3), after “partner” insert “(however expressed)”. 6 The amendments made by this section apply in relation to disposals made on or after 6 April 2023. Carried interest: election to pay tax as scheme profits arise 42 1 TCGA 1992 is amended as follows. 2 After section 103KF insert— Election for carried interest gains to be chargeable as scheme profits arise 103KFA 1 An individual (“A”) may make an election under this section in respect of an investment scheme (“the relevant scheme”) if— a section 103KA applies in relation to A and the relevant scheme, or b it is reasonable to expect that it will apply in relation to A and the relevant scheme. 2 Subsection (3) applies for a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) where an election made under this section has effect for that tax year. 3 A chargeable gain is deemed to arise to A in the relevant tax year and is to be treated as accruing to A immediately before the end of the relevant tax year. 4 The amount of the gain is the amount given by reducing— a the amount of carried interest that would arise to A in the relevant tax year in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (5), by b the sum of chargeable gains deemed to arise to A under this section in respect of the relevant scheme in previous tax years. 5 Those circumstances are that— a all of the investments held by the relevant scheme in the relevant tax year, and previously held by the scheme, whose disposal would be relevant to A’s entitlement to carried interest, were disposed of in the relevant tax year, b the amount realised on the disposal of each investment that was not actually disposed of in, or before, the relevant tax year were the amount of the costs to the relevant scheme in acquiring that investment, c all income that was received by the scheme (whether before or during the relevant tax year) and that would be relevant to A’s entitlement to carried interest, were received in the relevant tax year, and d all profits realised by the scheme as a result of those disposals and the receipt of that income were distributed to its investors in the relevant tax year. 6 Where— a distributions were made by the scheme to external investors before the relevant tax year, and b the timing of those distributions affects the amount of carried interest that actually arises to A, the amount of carried interest to be presumed to arise in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (5) is to reflect the fact those distributions were made before the relevant tax year. 7 But if reflecting that fact would lead to a presumption that an amount of carried interest had arisen before the relevant tax year, any such amount is to be presumed to arise in the relevant tax year. 8 A chargeable gain treated as accruing to an individual under subsection (3) is a chargeable gain accruing on the disposal of an asset situated outside the United Kingdom only to the extent that the individual performs investment management services in respect of the relevant scheme outside the United Kingdom. 9 An election under this section— a must be made by notice given to an officer of Revenue and Customs, and b may not be revoked. 10 A notice making an election— a must state the first tax year for which it is to have effect, and b may not be given after 31 January following the end of that tax year. Election in relation to scheme to apply to associated schemes 103KFB 1 Where an election has been made under section 103KFA in relation to an investment scheme (“S”) that is associated with another investment scheme, the election applies in respect of the other scheme (whether or not the conditions for an election to be made in respect of the other scheme were met at that time). 2 “Associated”, in relation to two or more investments schemes, is to be construed in accordance with section 809FZZ of ITA 2007. Interaction with other charges 103KFC 1 The accrual of a chargeable gain treated as accruing to an individual under section 103KFA(3) does not prevent the individual or any other person being charged to tax (whether income tax, capital gains tax or any other tax, and including as a result of section 103KA) in relation to carried interest that arises to the individual under arrangements with the relevant scheme. 2 But subsection (3) applies where an individual— a has made an election under section 103KFA, b has accrued a chargeable gain treated as accruing under section 103KFA(3), c has paid (and has not been repaid) an amount of capital gains tax that is attributable to that chargeable gain, and d is charged to tax (whether income tax, capital gains tax or another tax) in relation to carried interest that— i arises to the individual under arrangements with the relevant scheme, and ii arises in or after the tax year in which a gain first accrued under that section. 3 The individual may make a claim for one or more consequential adjustments to be made reducing the tax mentioned in subsection (2)(d). 4 On a claim under subsection (3) an officer of Revenue and Customs must make such of the consequential adjustments claimed (if any) as are just and reasonable. 5 The value of any consequential adjustments made must not exceed the lesser of— a the amount of capital gains tax paid as mentioned in subsection (2)(c), and b the tax charged as mentioned in subsection (2)(d). 6 Consequential adjustments may be made— a in respect of any period, and b by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, the amendment of a claim, or otherwise. 7 No claim may be made under section 103KE (carried interest: avoidance of double taxation) in respect of tax charged as a result of the accrual of a chargeable gain treated as accruing to an individual under section 103KFA(3). Deemed accrual of loss where carried interest never arises 103KFD 1 Subsection (3) applies where— a an individual has made an election under section 103KFA, b the individual has accrued a chargeable gain treated as accruing under section 103KFA(3), and c the conditions in subsection (2) are met. 2 Those conditions are that— a all, or substantially all, of the investments of the relevant scheme have been disposed of, b the amount of carried interest that has arisen to the individual in respect of the relevant scheme since the beginning of the first tax year in which a gain is treated as accruing under section 103KFA(3) is less than the sum of chargeable gains treated as accruing to the individual under that section, and c no further amount of carried interest can reasonably be expected to arise to the individual under arrangements with the relevant scheme. 3 The individual is to be treated as accruing a loss immediately before the end of the tax year in which the conditions in subsection (2) are first met. 4 The amount of that loss is the amount given by subtracting— a the amount of carried interest that arose to the individual in respect of the relevant scheme since the beginning of the first tax year in which a gain is treated as accruing under section 103KFA(3), from b the sum of the chargeable gains that have accrued under section 103KFA(3) (including any gain that accrues in respect of the tax year in which the loss accrues). 5 Where a loss has accrued to an individual as a result of subsection (3)— a section 103KFA(3) does not apply (in relation to the individual and the relevant scheme) for any tax year after the tax year in which the loss accrued, and b if carried interest arises to the individual in respect of the relevant scheme after the loss accrued, the individual may not make a claim under section 103KFC(3) in respect of tax charged in relation to it. Anti-avoidance 103KFE 1 This section applies where an election was made by an individual under section 103KFA and the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of making the election is to cause a loss to be treated as accruing to the individual under subsection (3) of section 103KFD. 2 Any such loss that would (in the absence of this section) accrue to the individual under that subsection is to be counteracted by the making of such adjustments 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— a an assessment, b the modification of an assessment, or c amendment or disallowance of a claim, or otherwise. 3 In section 1H (the main rates of CGT), in subsection (9)— a omit the “or” at the end of paragraph (a), and b after that paragraph insert— aa under section 103KFA(3) (gains on deemed carried interest where election made), or . 4 The amendments made by this section have effect for the tax year 2022-23 and subsequent tax years. Relief on disposal of joint interests in land 43 1 In section 248A of TCGA 1992 (roll-over relief on disposal of joint interests in land: conditions), at end insert— 8 Section 248B applies in relation to cases where, immediately before the disposal, the land is held by a partnership comprising the landowner and the co-owner or co-owners (whether the partnership is formed in Scotland or elsewhere) as it applies in relation to other cases (and the partners are regarded as the landowner and the co-owner or co-owners for the purposes of this section and section 248B). 2 In section 248E of TCGA 1992 (relief on disposal of joint interests in private residence), at end insert— 9 This section applies in relation to cases where, immediately before the disposal, the land is held by a partnership comprising the landowner and the co-owner or co-owners (whether the partnership is formed in Scotland or elsewhere) as it applies in relation to other cases (and the partners are regarded as the landowner and the co-owner or co-owners for the purposes of this section). 3 The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to disposals made on or after 6 April 2023. Part 2Alcohol DutyChapter 1Charge to alcohol dutyAlcoholic productsMeaning of “alcoholic product”441In this Part, “alcoholic product” means any of the following—aspirits,bbeer,ccider,dwine, andeany other fermented product.2But a product listed in subsection (1) is not an alcoholic product if it is of an alcoholic strength of 1.2% or less.3Schedule 6 defines each category of alcoholic product (and makes further provision in connection with the definitions).Alcoholic strength451The “alcoholic strength” of an alcoholic product is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of—athe volume of the alcohol contained in the product, tobthe volume of the product (inclusive of the alcohol contained in it).2The alcoholic strength of any alcoholic product is to be determined by reference to the product as at 20°C.3The Commissioners may by regulations make provision about the means of ascertaining the alcoholic strength, weight or volume of any alcoholic product or other substance (including products or substances that are not in liquid form at 20°C) for the purposes of this Part.4Regulations under subsection (3) may, in particular, include provision for ascertaining the alcoholic strength, weight or volume of anything contained in a bottle or container by reference to information given on the bottle or container or in documents relating to it.5In this Part, “alcohol” means ethanol.Categories of alcoholic products: regulations46The Treasury may by regulations—aamend Schedule 6;bprovide that a beverage of an alcoholic strength exceeding 1.2%, of a description specified by or under the regulations, is to be treated as being an alcoholic product of a particular category listed in section 44 (whether or not it would otherwise fall within another category listed in that section).Charge and ratesAlcohol duty: charge471An excise duty (“alcohol duty”) is charged on alcoholic products that are produced in, or imported into, the United Kingdom.2But subsection (1) is subject to the exemptions in Chapters 4 and 6.Rates481Alcohol duty is charged at the rates shown in Schedule 7.2But subsection (1) is subject to—asection 50 (draught relief), andbsection 54 (small producer relief).Excise duty point and payment491Alcohol duty is to be paid, and the amount chargeable is to be determined and become due, in accordance with provision made by or under—asection 88;bsection 1 of F(No. 2)A 1992.2In this Part, “excise duty point” has the meaning given by section 1 of F(No. 2)A 1992.Chapter 2Draught reliefQualifying draught products: reduced rates501Alcohol duty is charged on qualifying draught products at the reduced rates shown in Schedule 8 (instead of at the rates shown in Schedule 7 (the “full rates”)).2But a person liable to pay alcohol duty on qualifying draught products may, for the purposes of section 52(2), elect for duty to be charged at the full rates.Alcoholic products qualifying for draught relief511“Qualifying draught products” means alcoholic products that—aare of an alcoholic strength of less than 8.5%, andbat the excise duty point are contained in, or are being transported to a place in the United Kingdom for the purpose of being transferred to, a large draught container.2But alcoholic products that are produced in the United Kingdom by a person otherwise than in accordance with an approval under section 82 are not qualifying draught products.3A “large draught container” means a container which—ais of a capacity of at least 20 litres, andbincorporates, or is designed to connect to, a qualifying system for dispensing individual drinks.4For the purposes of subsection (3)(b), “qualifying system” means—aa pressurised gas delivery system, orba pump delivery system.5The Commissioners may by regulations—aamend subsection (3)(a) so as to specify a different capacity;bamend subsection (4) so as to add or remove, or to vary the description of, a qualifying system.Repackaging qualifying draught products521For the purposes of this section, qualifying draught products are “repackaged” if—athey are transferred to containers that are not large draught containers, butbare not transferred in the course of serving a beverage for immediate consumption.2A person may not repackage qualifying draught products on any premises in the United Kingdom unless—athe repackaging is authorised, orbalcohol duty was charged on the products at the full rates, in accordance with an election under section 50(2).3Repackaging is “authorised” if it is carried out by a person who is—aapproved and registered under section 100G of CEMA 1979 by virtue of regulation 3 of the Warehousekeepers and Owners of Warehoused Goods Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1278), orbapproved under section 82 (producers of alcoholic products).4Where the repackaging of qualifying draught products is authorised, an amount equal to the duty shortfall is treated, for the purposes of this Part, as an amount of alcohol duty charged on the repackaged products.5In this section and in section 53, the “duty shortfall” in relation to repackaged qualifying draught products is the difference between—athe alcohol duty payable on the alcoholic products under section 50(1) (draught products: reduced rates), andbthe alcohol duty that would have been payable on the alcoholic products under section 48 (rates) if they had not, at the excise duty point, been qualifying draught products.6For the purposes of subsection (2), the Commissioners may by regulations require a person to provide, on the supply to another person of qualifying draught products in respect of which an election under section 50(2) has been made, information or documents, of a description specified by or under the regulations, as evidence that duty has been charged at the full rates.Repackaging in contravention of <InternalLink Ref="section-52" IdURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/2023/30/section/52"

DocumentURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/30/section/52/2">(2)</InternalLink>531This section applies if a person repackages qualifying draught products in contravention of section 52(2).2The Commissioners may—aassess as alcohol duty due from the person mentioned in subsection (1) an amount equal to the duty shortfall, andbnotify that person or that person’s representative of any assessment under paragraph (a).3The conduct mentioned in subsection (1) attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994, calculated by reference to the amount of duty referred to in section 52(5)(b).4Any alcoholic products, articles (including packaging or equipment) or substances in the person's possession, used (or which may be used) for or in connection with the repackaging, are liable to forfeiture.Chapter 3Small producer reliefMain provisionsSmall producer relief: discounted rates541Alcohol duty is charged at the discounted rate on small producer alcoholic products produced in a particular production year (the “current year”).2The discounted rate, in relation to small producer alcoholic products, is equal to—athe standard rate, lessbthe duty discount for those products (determined in accordance with section 59 and Schedule 9).3In subsection (2)(a), the “standard rate”, in relation to alcoholic products, means—athe rate shown for products of that kind in Schedule 7, orbif Schedule 8 applies (and no election has been made under section 50(2)) in relation to the products) the rate shown for products of that kind in that Schedule.4For the purposes of this Chapter—aa “production year” is a period of 12 months beginning with 1 February;bthe “previous year”, in relation to alcoholic products, is the production year immediately preceding the current year in relation to those products.Small producer alcoholic products551“Small producer alcoholic products” are alcoholic products that—aare of an alcoholic strength of less than 8.5%,bare produced on premises that are small production premises,care not produced under licence, anddmeet such other conditions (if any) as are specified by regulations made by the Commissioners.2Subsection (1) is subject to section 58 (exclusions).Small production premises561Production premises are “small production premises” in the current year in relation to alcoholic products if—athe production limit condition is met, andbthe unlicensed product condition is met.2The “production limit condition” is met in relation to non-group premises if, in relation to those premises, neither of the following amounts exceeds the small production limit—athe alcohol production amount for the previous year;bthe estimated alcohol production amount for the current year,3The “production limit condition” is met in relation to group premises if neither of the following amounts exceeds the small production limit—athe aggregate of the alcohol production amount, in relation to every set of premises in the production group, for the previous year;bthe aggregate of the estimated alcohol production amount, in relation to every set of premises in the production group, for the current year.4The “small production limit” is 4500 hectolitres.5The “unlicensed product condition” is met—ain relation to non-group premises if the condition in subsection (6) is met in relation to those premises;bin relation to group premises if the condition in subsection (6) is met in relation to every set of premises in the production group.6The condition is that—aless than half of the alcohol production amount (if any), in relation to the premises, for the previous year was contained in alcoholic products produced under licence, andbthe producer reasonably estimates that less than half of the alcohol production amount, in relation to the premises, for the current year will be contained in alcoholic products produced under licence.“Alcohol production amount” etc571In relation to production premises—athe “alcohol production amount” for a production year is the total amount of alcohol contained in alcoholic products produced on those premises in that year, andbthe “estimated alcohol production amount” for a production year is the producer’s reasonable estimate of the alcohol production amount for those premises in that year.2Subsection (1) is subject to subsections (3) to (6).3The reference in subsection (1) to the alcoholic products produced on a set of premises does not include a reference to any alcoholic products that are—aspoilt or destroyed before the excise duty point, orbproduced in the course of producing a different alcoholic product on those premises or on any set of connected premises.4Subsection (5) applies where premises are in use for the purposes of the production of alcoholic products for part only (the “relevant part”) of a production year (including where premises begin to be used for those purposes part-way through a production year).5The alcohol production amount or (as the case may be) the estimated alcohol production amount is treated, for the purposes of this Part, as being the amount given by—adividing the actual alcohol production amount, or (as the case may be) the estimate of that amount, by the number of days in the relevant part of the production year, andbmultiplying the amount given by paragraph (a) by the number of days in the production year.6The Commissioners may, if satisfied that the circumstances are exceptional, agree with a producer that certain alcoholic products, or a certain quantity of alcoholic products, may be disregarded for the purposes of determining—athe alcohol production amount, orbthe estimated alcohol production amount,in relation to production premises for any production year.Exclusions58Alcoholic products produced on any premises are not “small producer alcoholic products” if—athey are exempt from duty under any of sections 72, 76 or 77,bthey are produced in the United Kingdom by a person otherwise than in accordance with an approval under section 82,cat the time they are produced, the alcohol production amount attributable to the premises (in the case of non-group premises) or the production group (in the case of group premises) for the current year has exceeded the small production limit, ordthey are produced—iin the case of non-group premises, before the producer has estimated (for the purposes of section 57) the alcohol production amount attributable to the premises for the current year, oriiin the case of group premises, before the producer in relation to those premises or any connected premises has estimated (for the purposes of section 57) the alcohol production amount attributable to those premises or any connected premises for that year.Duty discount for small producer alcoholic products591The duty discount, in relation to small producer alcoholic products in a discount band, is the amount (in £ per litre of alcohol) given by the formula in subsection (2) and rounded up to the nearest penny.2The formula is—C+(M(A-S))Awhere—C is the cumulative discount for the discount band (in £);M is the marginal discount for the discount band (in £);A is the relevant production amount (in hectolitres);S is the start threshold for the discount band (in hectolitres).3Where the alcoholic products are produced on non-group premises, the “relevant production amount” is—athe alcohol production amount, in relation to those premises, for the previous year, orbif that amount would be nil, the estimated alcohol production amount in relation to those premises for the current year.4Where the alcoholic products are produced on group premises, the “relevant production amount” is —athe aggregate of the alcohol production amount for the previous year, in relation to every set of premises in the production group on which alcoholic products were produced in that year, orbif there are no premises in the production group on which alcoholic products were produced in the previous year, the aggregate of the estimated alcoholic production amount, in relation to every set of premises in the production group, for the current year.5Small producer alcoholic products are in a particular discount band if the relevant production amount in relation to those products—aexceeds the start threshold for that band, butbdoes not exceed the end threshold for that band.6The start and end thresholds, cumulative discount and marginal discount for a discount band are the figures shown—ain relation to alcoholic products (other than qualifying draught products referred to in paragraph (b)) of a particular description, in the tables in Part 1 of Schedule 9, andbin relation to qualifying draught products (in respect of which no election has been made under section 50(2)) of a particular description, in the tables in Part 2 of Schedule 9.Assessments where incorrectly low rate of alcohol duty applied601This section applies if—aalcohol duty is charged on alcoholic products,bit appears at the excise duty point that the alcoholic products are small producer alcoholic products, andcit turns out that the alcoholic products were not small producer alcoholic products (including where circumstances were not as they appeared at the excise duty point or where circumstances subsequently changed).2This section also applies if—aalcohol duty is charged on small producer alcoholic products, andbthe discounted rate that at the excise duty point appeared to be the correct rate turns out to be lower than the correct rate (including where circumstances were not as they appeared at the excise duty point or where circumstances subsequently changed).3The Commissioners—amay assess as being alcohol duty due from the liable person an amount equal to the duty shortfall, andbmust notify that person or that person’s representative of any assessment under paragraph (a).4In this section “duty shortfall” means the difference between—athe actual amount of alcohol duty chargeable on the alcoholic products, andbthe lower amount that, at the excise duty point, appeared to be the amount chargeable.5The reference in subsection (3) to the “liable person” is a reference to the person liable to pay the alcohol duty on the alcoholic products.Mergers and demergersMergers: general provisions611This section and sections 62 to 67 apply where a small producer (“SP1”) becomes connected with another small producer (“SP2”).2“Post-merger production group” means the production group that consists of—aevery set of premises on which SP1 or SP2 produces alcoholic products, andbevery set of connected premises,and references to “post-merger production group premises” are to premises within paragraph (a) or (b).3In relation to the post-merger production group—a“Year 1” means the production year in which SP1 and SP2 become connected with one another,b“Year 2” means the production year immediately following Year 1,c“Year 3” means the production year immediately following Year 2, anddthe “pre-merger year” means the production year immediately preceding Year 1.4Each of Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 is a “merger transition year” in relation to the post-merger production group, unless any of the following apply—asection 65 (early termination of merger transition period),bsection 66 (subsequent mergers), orcsection 68(8) (demergers in a merger transition year).Modified “small production premises” test621This section (instead of section 56) applies in relation to a post-merger production group in a merger transition year.2Post-merger production group premises are “small production premises” in the current year in relation to alcoholic products if—athe adjusted post-merger amount, determined in accordance with section 64 does not exceed the small production limit (within the meaning of section 56(4)), andbin relation to each set of post-merger production group premises, less than half of the alcohol production amount (if any), in relation to those premises, for the previous year was contained in alcoholic products produced under licence.Modified duty discount631This section applies in relation to alcoholic products that are produced—aon post-merger production group premises, andbin a merger transition year.2For the purposes of section 59, references to the “relevant production amount” are references to the adjusted post-merger amount (and subsections (3) and (4) of that section do not apply).3Section 58(c) does not apply for the purposes of the application of section 55 or 59 in a merger transition year.Adjusted post-merger amount641In Year 1, the adjusted post-merger amount is the alcohol production amount in relation to the larger producer’s premises for the pre-merger year, determined in accordance with section 57 (and the alcohol production amount attributable to the smaller producer for the pre-merger year is disregarded).2In Year 2, the adjusted post-merger amount is the total of—athe adjusted post-merger amount in Year 1, andbone-third of the production difference for Year 2.3In Year 3, the adjusted post-merger amount is the total of—athe adjusted post-merger amount in Year 1, andbtwo-thirds of the production difference for Year 3.4The amount of the “production difference” for a merger transition year is the difference between—athe aggregate of the alcohol production amount, in relation to every set of post-merger production group premises, for the previous year (determined in accordance with section 57), andbthe adjusted post-merger amount in Year 1.5If the alcohol production amount attributable to SP1’s premises for the pre-merger year is greater than the alcohol production amount attributable to SP2’s premises for that year—aSP1 is the “larger producer”, andbSP2 is the “smaller producer”,and vice versa.6If the amount mentioned in subsection (5) is equal in relation to both SP1’s premises and SP2’s premises, either SP1 or SP2 may be treated as the “larger producer” for the purposes of this section.7In subsections (1), (5) and (6), references to a person’s premises are references to—athe premises on which the person produces alcoholic products immediately before becoming connected with the other person mentioned in section 61(1), if those premises are (at that time) non-group premises, orbif those premises are group premises, the production group which, at that time, includes those premises (and the reference in subsection (1) to the alcohol production amount in relation to those premises is a reference to the aggregate of the alcohol production amount in relation to those premises and every set of connected premises).Early termination of merger transition period651This section applies in relation to a post-merger production group if, in a relevant year, Amount A is less than Amount B.2“Amount A” is the aggregate of the alcohol production amount, in relation to every set of premises in the group, for the production year immediately preceding the relevant year (determined in accordance with section 57).3“Amount B” is the adjusted post-merger amount in the relevant year.4Neither the relevant year, nor any subsequent production year, is a merger transition year in relation to the group.5Each of Year 1, 2 and 3 is a “relevant year” for the purposes of this section.Subsequent mergers661This section applies if—aa person who produces alcoholic products on group premises which are included in a post-merger production group (the “first post-merger group”) becomes connected with another person who produces alcoholic products (that are not exempt from duty under any of sections 72, 76 or 77), andbthe producers mentioned in paragraph (a) become connected with one another in Year 1, 2 or 3 in relation to the first post-merger group.2Neither the production year in which the producers mentioned in subsection (1)(a) become connected with one another, nor any subsequent year, is a merger transition year in relation to the first post-merger group.3But subsection (2) does not prevent the application of sections 61 to 67 in relation to the post-merger production group that includes both of the producers mentioned in subsection (1)(a).Simultaneous mergers671Subsections (2) to (4) apply if, at the same time as SP1 becomes connected with SP2, SP1 also becomes connected with one or more other small producers (who are not already connected with one another).2References in sections 61 and 64 to SP2 include references to the other small producers becoming connected with SP1.3For the purposes of section 64—athe “larger producer” is the producer with a greater alcohol production amount attributable to the producer’s premises for the pre-merger year than any of the other producers mentioned in subsection (1), andbeach of the other producers is a “smaller producer”,(and this subsection applies instead of section 64(5)).4If the amount mentioned in subsection (3)(a) is equal in relation to any two or more of the producers mentioned in subsection (1), any one of them may be treated as the “larger producer” for the purposes of section 64.Demergers681This section applies if a demerger event occurs in relation to a production group.2A “demerger event” occurs, in relation to a production group, if a group producer (the “demerging producer”) ceases to be connected with at least one other group producer.3A “group producer” in relation to a production group means a person who produces alcoholic products on premises that are (immediately before the demerger event) included in the production group.4For the purposes of the application of sections 56 and 59 in relation to the demerger year, the alcohol production amount for the immediately preceding production year, in relation to production premises that were (immediately before the demerger event) included in the group, is treated as being nil.5If, before the end of the restricted period, the demerging producer becomes connected again with another group producer, none of sections 61 to 67 apply by reference to that connection.6For the purposes of subsection (5), the “restricted period” is the period of 7 years beginning with the date on which the demerger event occurs.7Subsection (8) applies if the demerger event occurs in Year 1, 2 or 3 in relation to a post-merger production group (the “relevant group”).8Neither the production year in which the event occurs, nor any subsequent year, is a merger transition year in relation to the relevant group.9References in this section to the “demerger year” are references to the production year in which the demerger event occurs.Interpretation of Chapter 3“Producer”, “production premises”, “group premises” etc691This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.2“Production premises” means premises (whether or not in the United Kingdom) on which alcoholic products are produced.3Production premises are “group premises” at a time in a production year (the “reference time”) if—aa person (“P”) who produces alcoholic products on the premises at the reference time or at any earlier time in that year, orba person connected with P,also produces alcoholic products on any other premises at the reference time or any earlier time in that year.4“Connected premises”, in relation to group premises, means premises on which alcoholic products are produced at the reference time or at any earlier time in the current year, by—aP, orba person connected with P.5References to “the production group”, in relation to group premises, are references to the group consisting of—athe group premises, andbevery set of connected premises.6Production premises are “non-group premises” at a time in a production year if, at that time, they are not group premises.7In this Chapter—areferences to the “producer”, in relation to a set of premises, are references to the person who produces alcoholic products on those premises, andbreferences to a “small producer” are references to a person who produces small producer alcoholic products.Connected persons701References in this Chapter to a person being or becoming connected with another person are to be construed in accordance with section 1122 of CTA 2010.2But the Commissioners may, if they think it appropriate, treat two connected persons as if they were not connected with one another for the purposes of this Chapter.Index of defined expressions: <InternalLink Ref="part-2-chapter-3" IdURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/2023/30/part/2/chapter/3"

litres of alcohol, orcany other food (for human consumption) which contains alcohol, where 100 kilograms of the food would not contain more than 5 litres of alcohol.4Alcoholic products that are converted into vinegar are treated, for the purposes of this section, as being used as an ingredient in the production or manufacture of vinegar.5Neither of the following is a qualifying food product for the purposes of this section—aa beverage, including a beverage produced or intended for consumption in frozen form;ba product that is intended for consumption as a substitute for a beverage.6A claim for repayment under this section—amust be in the form and manner, and contain the information, required by the Commissioners (either generally or in a particular case), andbexcept so far as the Commissioners otherwise allow, relate to duty paid on alcoholic products used as an ingredient during a period of 3 months ending not more than 3 years before the claim is made.7No repayment of duty may be made unless the Commissioners are satisfied that the repayment claimed does not relate to any duty which has been repaid or drawn back prior to the making of the claim.8The Commissioners may remit any alcohol duty chargeable—aon alcoholic products imported into the United Kingdom at a time when they are contained as an ingredient in a qualifying food product within subsection (3)(b) or (c), orbon alcoholic products used as an ingredient in the manufacture or production in an excise warehouse of a qualifying food product within subsection (3)(b) or (c).SpiritsImported medical articles761Alcohol duty is not charged on spirits contained in medical articles imported into the United Kingdom.2“Medical article” means an article recognised by the Commissioners as being an article used for medical purposes.Flavourings771Alcohol duty is not charged on spirits contained in food and drink flavourings.2In this section—“food and drink flavourings” means any qualifying flavourings which are for use in—the preparation of food for human consumption, orthe preparation of any beverage of an alcoholic strength not exceeding 1.2%;“qualifying flavourings” means any products falling within commodity code 3302 of the customs tariff established by regulations made under section 8 of TCTA 2018.Authorised use for certain purposes781This section applies where a person proposes to use spirits, on which alcohol duty is chargeable, either—ain the manufacture or preparation of medical articles, orbfor scientific purposes.2This section also applies where—aa person proposes to use spirits, on which alcohol duty is chargeable, for the purposes of art or manufacture (other than the manufacture of medical articles), andbthe Commissioners are satisfied that denatured alcohol would not be suitable for that use.3The Commissioners may authorise the person to receive the spirits, and permit the delivery of the spirits from relevant premises to that person, without payment of the alcohol duty.4In subsection (3), “relevant premises” means—aan excise warehouse, orbpremises in respect of which a person is approved (including premises on which a person is authorised to hold alcoholic products without payment of duty) under section 82.5An authorisation under this section may be given subject to the conditions (if any)—aspecified by the Commissioners in a notice published by them;bimposed by them in a particular case.6If a person fails to comply with a condition in respect of an authorisation, the failure attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994.7Subsection (8) applies if—athe spirits are delivered to the person mentioned in subsection (3), andbthe spirits are used otherwise than for the purpose in respect of which the authorisation was given.8The Commissioners—amay assess as being alcohol duty due from the person an amount equal to the alcohol duty that would have been charged on the spirits if, at the time of delivery, no authorisation under this section had been given, andbmust notify that person or the person’s representative of the assessment.9In this section “medical article” has the same meaning as in section 76.Imported goods not for human consumption791The Commissioners may remit any alcohol duty chargeable on spirits imported into the United Kingdom at a time when the spirits are contained in goods that are not for human consumption.2If it turns out that the goods containing spirits are for human consumption, the Commissioners—amay assess as being alcohol duty due from the relevant person an amount equal to the alcohol duty that would (apart from subsection (1)) have been charged on the goods, andbmust notify the relevant person or that person’s representative of the assessment.3For the purposes of subsection (2), references to “the relevant person” are references to the importer.Restrictions on use of certain articles801If a person makes unauthorised use of an article to which this section applies—athat conduct attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994, andbthe article is liable to forfeiture.2This section applies to—aan article containing spirits which are exempt under section 76 from the charge to alcohol duty;ban article in respect of which spirits were used in the manufacture or preparation, where remission of alcohol duty on the spirits was obtained under section 78.3A person makes “unauthorised use” of an article for the purposes of this section if—athe person uses the article other than for medical or scientific purposes, andbthe person has not complied with the requirements under subsection (4).4The requirements are that—athe person must obtain the written consent of the Commissioners to the use of the article other than for medical or scientific purposes, andbthe person must pay to the Commissioners an amount equal to the duty shortfall.5In this section, the “duty shortfall” means—athe difference between the duty charged on the spirits contained in, or

regulation made under subsection (6), the contravention or failure attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994.9In this section, a reference to an article includes a reference to any part of that article.Remission and repaymentFurther provision about remission and repayment811The remission or repayment of alcohol duty under any provision of this Chapter is subject to the conditions (if any)—aspecified by the Commissioners in a notice published by them;bspecified by or under regulations made by them;cimposed by them in a particular case.2If a person fails to comply with a condition in respect of the remission or repayment, the failure attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994.Chapter 5Regulated activities and approvalsApproval requirement: producers821A person may not produce alcoholic products on any premises unless—athe production on those premises is in accordance with an approval given under this section by the Commissioners to the person, orbthe person is exempt from the approval requirement under section 84 or 85.2The Commissioners may approve a person under this section only if they are satisfied that the person is a fit and proper person to produce alcoholic products.3An approval under this section may authorise the approved person to hold alcoholic products (including alcoholic products produced by another person in, or imported into, the United Kingdom) on certain premises without payment of alcohol duty.4A person may not carry out other activities on those premises in relation to those alcoholic products, without payment of alcohol duty, except in accordance with an approval under this section.5The reference in subsection (4) to “activities” includes, in particular, packaging and processing, or carrying out other operations on or in relation to, the alcoholic products.Supplementary provision about approvals831An approval under section 82 may be given to a person—ain respect of—imore than one category of alcoholic product;iimore than one set of premises;bfor such period as the Commissioners think fit.2An approval is subject to the conditions or restrictions (if any)—aspecified by the Commissioners in a notice published by them;bspecified by or under regulations made by them;cimposed by them in a particular case.3The Commissioners may, at any time, revoke or vary the terms of an approval.4An application for approval must be in the form and manner, and contain the information, specified by or under regulations made by the Commissioners.Exemption: production for personal consumption84For the purposes of section 82(1)(b), a person is exempt from the approval requirement if—athe person produces alcoholic products only for the person’s own domestic use, andbthe alcoholic products are not spirits.Exemption: research and experiments85For the purposes of section 82(1)(b), a person is exempt from the approval requirement if—athe person produces alcoholic products only for the purposes of research into, or experiments in, the production of alcoholic products, andbthe person complies with, and the alcoholic products are produced in accordance with, the requirements specified—iby the Commissioners in a notice published by them, oriiby or under regulations made by the Commissioners.Mixing alcoholic products861A person may not mix two or more alcoholic products unless one of the following exemptions applies.2The first exemption applies if the products are mixed—aeither—iin accordance with an approval under section 82, oriiin an excise warehouse, andbthe mixing takes place before the excise duty point.3The second exemption applies if all of the alcoholic products being mixed—afall within the same paragraph of section 44(1), andbare of the same alcoholic strength.4The third exemption applies if—athe alcohol duty on each of the alcoholic products being mixed has been paid, andbthat amount is equal to or exceeds the amount of alcohol duty that would (if the mixing had taken place before the excise duty point) have been chargeable on the resulting mix.5The fourth exemption applies if—athe alcohol duty on each of the alcoholic products being mixed has been paid,bthe resulting mix is intended for consumption on the premises on which the mixing takes place, andcthe method of mixing is of a description specified in a notice published by the Commissioners.Post-duty point dilution of alcoholic products871A person may not mix water or any other substance with alcoholic products on which alcohol duty is chargeable if—athe mixing takes places after the excise duty point in relation to that charge,bthe resulting product is intended for sale, andcif the mixing had taken place immediately before the excise duty point, the amount of alcohol duty would have been greater than the amount actually payable.2This section has effect, despite section 8 of the Isle of Man Act 1979, as if a removal of relevant alcoholic products to the United Kingdom from the Isle of Man constituted their importation into the United Kingdom (and references to the charge to alcohol duty and to the excise duty point are to be read accordingly).Alcoholic products regulations881The Commissioners may by regulations (“alcoholic products regulations”) make provision—aregulating the production, packaging, keeping and storage of alcoholic products produced in, or imported into, the United Kingdom;bfor determining when the production of any alcoholic product begins and when it is completed;cfor securing and collecting alcohol duty;dfor determining alcohol duty, the rate and the method of charging the duty;efor charging alcohol duty, in specified circumstances, by reference to an alcoholic strength which any alcoholic product might reasonably be expected to have, or the rate of duty in force, at a time other than that at which the alcoholic product becomes chargeable;ffor determining the alcohol production amount in relation to a set of premises (for the purposes of Chapter 3 of this Part), in specified circumstances, by reference to an alcoholic strength which any alcoholic product might reasonably be expected to have at a time other than that at which the alcoholic product is produced;gfor full or partial relief from alcohol duty in specified circumstances (and whether or not subject to conditions);hregulating or prohibiting the addition of substances to, the mixing of, or the carrying out of other operations on or in relation to, any alcoholic product;iregulating the approval of persons under this Chapter, including the variation or revocation of the approval or of any condition or restriction to which it is subject;jpermitting, in specified circumstances, the removal of alcoholic products from certain premises without payment of duty (whether or not subject to conditions);kmake provision in respect of alcoholic products permitted to be removed from premises without payment of duty or on which alcohol duty has been remitted;lregulating the transportation of alcoholic products;mrequiring the production of certificates as to matters relating to alcoholic products imported into the United Kingdom, and the production and producer of those products, as evidence that conditions for charging the duty at a particular rate are satisfied.2Alcoholic products regulations may, in particular, include provision—arequiring the making of returns;bfor notifications and other communications with the Commissioners to be made electronically;crequiring persons to keep, and make available for inspection, specified records relating to alcoholic products;dfor the imposition under the regulations of requirements as to documents to accompany, or be provided with, alcohol products at any time during a specified period or in specified circumstances, and requiring production of those documents;econferring powers on an officer of Revenue and Customs to inspect, copy or remove for a reasonable period records or documents relating to alcoholic products;ffor assessing an amount as alcohol duty due from a person in specified circumstances;gfor the imposition under the regulations of conditions and restrictions (which may include a requirement to give a guarantee or other security).3The reference in subsection (1)(k) to alcoholic products permitted to be removed from premises without payment of duty is treated as including a reference to alcoholic products that are—atreated for the purposes of alcohol duty, by provision made (or having effect as if made) under section 12 of the Customs and Excise Duties (General Reliefs) Act 1979 (supply of duty-free goods to His Majesty’s ships), as exported,bsupplied to persons on whom relief from payment of alcohol duty is conferred by provision made under section 13A of that Act (reliefs from duties and taxes for persons enjoying certain immunities and privileges), orcsupplied for use on a ship, aircraft or railway vehicle as stores, in accordance with provision made under section 60A of CEMA 1979 (power to make regulations about stores).4In this section, “specified” means specified by or under alcoholic products regulations.Penalties and forfeiture891This section applies if a person contravenes or fails to comply with—asection 82,bsection 86(1),csection 87(1), ordany provision made by or under alcoholic products regulations.2The person’s conduct attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994.3Any alcoholic products, articles (including packaging or equipment) or substances in the person's possession, used (or which may be used) for or in connection with an action to which the contravention or failure relates, are liable to forfeiture.Chapter 6Denatured alcoholDenatured alcohol901Alcohol duty is not charged on denatured alcohol.2“Denatured alcohol” means an alcoholic product which has been mixed with a substance, and in a manner, specified by or under regulations made by the Commissioners (and references, however expressed, to “denaturing” alcoholic products are to be construed accordingly).3Provision made under subsection (2) may include provision specifying a substance, or a manner of mixing, by reference to particular circumstances or other factors, or to the approval or opinion of specified persons.4Where—aalcohol duty is chargeable on alcoholic products, andbthe Commissioners are satisfied that the alcoholic products are to be converted into denatured alcohol before the duty is required to be paid,the duty is to be remitted.Licence to manufacture and deal wholesale in denatured alcohol911A person may not denature any alcoholic products, or deal wholesale in denatured alcohol, unless the person holds an excise licence as a denaturer under this section.2For the purposes of this section, a person deals wholesale in denatured alcohol if the person sells, at any one time to any one person—aa quantity of at least 20 litres of denatured alcohol, orba smaller quantity, specified by or under regulations made by the Commissioners, of denatured alcohol.3The Commissioners may, at any time, revoke or suspend an excise licence under this section.4An application for an excise licence as a denaturer must be in the form and manner, and contain the information, specified by the Commissioners in a notice published by them.Regulations relating to denatured alcohol921The Commissioners may, with a view to the protection of the revenue, by regulations make provision—aregulating the denaturing of alcoholic products;bregulating the supply, storage, removal, sale, delivery, receipt, use, export or shipment as stores of denatured alcohol;cpermitting alcoholic products to be denatured in a warehouse;dpermitting dealing wholesale (within the meaning of section 91) in denatured alcohol of a specified description, in specified circumstances, without an excise licence;eregulating the import, receipt, removal, storage and use of alcoholic products for denaturing;fregulating the storage and removal of substances to be used in denaturing alcoholic products;gabout the manner in which account is to be kept of stocks of denatured alcohol in the possession of persons licensed as denaturers under section 91 and of retailers of denatured alcohol.2Regulations under this section may, in particular, include provision—afor applications and other communications with the Commissioners to be made electronically;brequiring persons licensed as denaturers under section 91 and retailers of denatured alcohol to keep, and make available for inspection, specified records relating to denaturing;cconferring powers on an officer of Revenue and Customs to inspect, copy or remove for a reasonable period those records;dfor the imposition under the regulations of conditions and restrictions (which may include a requirement to give a guarantee or other security).3In this section, “specified” means specified by or under regulations under this section.Penalties and forfeiture931This section applies if a person—afails to comply with section 91(1) (denaturing alcoholic products, or dealing wholesale in denatured alcohol, otherwise than in accordance with an excise licence), orbcontravenes or fails to comply with any provision made by or under regulations under section 92.2Conduct mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) attracts a penalty under section 9 of FA 1994.3Any alcoholic product or denatured alcohol, article (including packaging or equipment) or substance in the person’s possession, used (or which may be used) for or in connection with an action to which the contravention or failure relates is liable to forfeiture.Defaults in respect of denatured alcohol: possession of excess alcoholic products941This section applies if, in relation to a person who holds an excise licence under section 91 (the “denaturer”), at a time when an account is taken of the quantity of denatured alcohol in the denaturer’s possession—athere is a difference between the actual amount and the proper amount, andbeither—iwhere the actual amount exceeds the proper amount, the amount of the excess is more than 1% of the permitted amount, oriiwhere the proper amount exceeds the actual amount, the amount of the excess is more than 2% of the permitted amount.2For the purposes of subsection (1)—athe “actual amount” is the quantity of alcoholic products of any description in the denatured alcohol in the denaturer’s possession;bthe “proper amount” is the quantity of alcoholic products of the same description which, according to any accounts that are required to be kept by or under any regulations under section 92, ought to be in the denatured alcohol in the denaturer’s possession.3Where there is a difference between the actual amount and the proper amount, in relation to alcoholic products of a particular description, the “permitted amount” is the aggregate of—athe quantity of alcoholic products of that description when an account was last taken, andbthe quantity of alcoholic products of that description that have since been lawfully added to the denaturer’s stock.4In a case within subsection (1)(b)(i), the relevant amount of any alcoholic products of the description to which the difference relates in the denaturer’s possession is liable to forfeiture.5The “relevant amount” for the purposes of subsection (4) is the amount corresponding to the amount of the excess mentioned in subsection (1)(b)(i), or such smaller amount as the Commissioners consider appropriate.6In a case within subsection (1)(b)(ii), the denaturer must, on demand by the Commissioners, pay alcohol duty—aon the amount of alcoholic products (of the same description) equal to the amount of the difference, orbif the Commissioners specify a smaller amount of alcoholic products (of the same description) in the demand, on that amount.7A demand made for the purposes of this section is to be combined, as if there had been a default of a kind mentioned in section 12 of FA 1994 (assessments to excise duty) with an assessment and notification under that section of the amount of duty due in consequence of the demand.Defaults in respect of denatured alcohol: supply and use of denatured alcohol951This section applies if a person, in contravention of regulations under section 92, uses or supplies denatured alcohol containing alcoholic products of any description.2The person must, on demand by the Commissioners, pay alcohol duty—aon the amount of alcoholic products contained, at the time of supply or use, in the denatured alcohol, orbif the Commissioners specify a smaller amount of alcoholic products (of the same description) in the demand, on that amount.3For the purposes of this section, a supply of denatured alcohol to a person who—aby reason of regulations under section 92 is prohibited from receiving it unless authorised to do so by or under the regulations, butbis not so authorised,is treated as being a supply in contravention of those regulations.4A demand made for the purposes of this section is to be combined, as if there had been a default of a kind mentioned in section 12 of FA 1994 (assessments to excise duty) with an assessment and notification under that section of the amount of duty due in consequence of the demand.Inspection of premises etc961An officer of Revenue and Customs may, at any reasonable time—aenter and inspect the premises of a person authorised by regulations under section 92 to receive denatured alcohol,binspect and examine any denatured alcohol on the premises, andctake

tax”.4Sections 122 to 124 set out the charge to multinational top-up tax and describe how it is to be calculated.5Chapter 2 of this Part—asets out the meaning of “multinational group”;bdescribes who the members of such a group are;cidentifies the ultimate parent of such a group;dlimits the application of this Part to multinational groups with an annual revenue of at least 750 million euros and

of, and the taxes payable by, those members in that territory.3Chapter 4 of this Part sets out how to calculate the profits of members of a multinational group.4Chapter 5 of this Part sets out—awhich taxes (referred to in this Part as “covered taxes”) are to be considered in determining the effective tax rate of those members, andbhow to determine the amount of covered taxes allocated to those members.5Chapter 6 of this Part sets out how to use the effective tax rate and profits of the members of a multinational group to determine the top-up amounts of those members.6Chapter 7 of this Part sets out how to attribute those top-up amounts to a responsible member of the group.7Chapter 8 of this Part contains provisions about—aadditional top-up amounts, andbfurther adjustments that may need to be made (including provision about adjustments for restructuring of multinational groups).8Chapter 9 of this Part sets out special provision for investment entities, joint venture groups and minority owned members (including provision that applies to those entities instead of provision in the previous Chapters).8AChapter 9A makes provision for—adetermining whether members of the group have untaxed amounts, andballocating those untaxed amounts to members of the group located in the United Kingdom, other than members that are investment entities or joint venture group members.9Chapter 10 of this Part contains definitions and other provisions relevant to the calculations and other determinations to be made for the purposes of multinational top-up tax and Chapter 11 contains general provision.Administration of multinational top-up tax125Schedule 14 makes provision for—ainformation returns which must be made in respect of multinational groups,bassessments to multinational top-up tax,cpenalties, anddother administrative matters.Chapter 2Qualifying multinational groups and their membersMultinational groupsMeaning of “multinational group” and “ultimate parent”1261References in this Part to a multinational group are to a consolidated group where at least one of the members of that group is not located in the same territory as the others.2A “consolidated group” means the following entities (which are its members)—aan entity (the “ultimate parent”)—iin which no other entity has a controlling interest, andiiwhich has a controlling interest in other entities, andbthe entities whose assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows—iare included in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent, oriiare not included in those statements only because of an exclusion on size or materiality grounds or on the grounds that the entity in question is held for sale.Excluded entities1271For the purposes of this Part, excluded entities are to be treated as not being members of a multinational group.2But subsection (1) does not apply for the purposes of the following provisions—asection 126 (and accordingly an excluded entity that is the ultimate parent of multinational group remains the ultimate parent of that group),bthis section, andcsection 129 (determining whether a multinational group is qualifying).3The following are excluded entities—aa governmental entity;ban international organisation;ca pension fund;da non-profit organisation;ea qualifying non-profit subsidiary;fa qualifying service entity;ga qualifying exempt income entity.4The following are also excluded entities if they are the ultimate parent of a multinational group, or would be but for the fact they do not produce consolidated financial statements that include assets, liabilities, income expenses and cash flows of entities in which they have ownership interests—aan investment fund,ba UK REIT, orcan overseas REIT equivalent.5An entity is a qualifying non-profit subsidiary in an accounting period if—athe entity or, in the case of a permanent establishment, the main entity is 100% owned by one or more entities that are non-profit organisations,bthe revenue (see section 129(5)) of the multinational group of which the entity is a member, excluding the revenues of each member that is a non-profit organisation, a qualifying service entity or a qualifying exempt income entity—iwould not exceed the threshold set out in section 129(4), andiiis less than 25% of the total revenue of the group, andc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .dno election under subsection (8) is in force in relation to the entity.6An entity is a qualifying service entity if—athe entity or, in the case of a permanent establishment, the main entity is 95% owned by one or more qualifying excluded entities,beither—ithe entity only carries out activities that are ancillary to the activities of those owners, oriiall, or almost all, of its activities, ignoring activities falling within sub-paragraph (i), consist of the holding of assets or the investment of funds for the benefit of those owners, andcno election under subsection (8) is in force in relation to the entity.7An entity is a qualifying exempt income entity if—athe entity or, in the case of a permanent establishment, the main entity is 85% owned by one or more qualifying excluded entities,balmost all of the entity’s income is excluded dividends or excluded equity gains (or a mixture of both), andcno election under subsection (8) is in force in relation to the entity.8The filing member of a multinational group (see paragraph 2 of Schedule 14) may make an election that a member of that group that would otherwise be an excluded entity as a result of subsection (5), (6) or (7) is not to be an excluded entity.9Schedule 15 makes provision about elections under this Part.10Paragraph 1 of that Schedule (long term elections) applies to an election under subsection (8).11For the purposes of subsection (5), the reference to an entity being 100% owned by one or more entities that are non-profit organisations is to those entities together having that percentage of ownership interest in that entity.12For the purposes of subsections (6) and (7)—adespite section 232(3) (permanent establishments treated as distinct from main entity), the conditions in subsection (6)(b) and (7)(b) are only met in relation to a permanent establishment or a main entity if the conditions are met by the main entity and all of its permanent establishments taken together as if they were a single entity;ban excluded entity is “qualifying” if it is not a pension services entity, andcreferences to an entity being 95% or 85% owned by qualifying excluded entities are to those entities together having at least that percentage of the ownership interests in that entity (see section 245 for how to calculate ownership interests in excluded entities).Responsible membersResponsible members1281The ultimate parent of a multinational group is a responsible member of that group if it is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax.2An ultimate parent that is a responsible member of a multinational group is responsible for all of the members of the group that are not located in the territory the ultimate parent is located in.3An intermediate parent member of a multinational group (see section 237(2)) that is located in a Pillar Two territory is a responsible member of that group if it is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax and—ano intermediate parent member of that group that is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax has a controlling interest in it,bthe ultimate parent is not subject to Pillar Two IIR tax, andcat least one member of the group in which it has an ownership interest, or a permanent establishment for which it is the main entity, has a top-up amount or an additional top-up amount.4Such an intermediate parent member is responsible

andcevery permanent establishment of a member of the group it has an ownership interest in other than a permanent establishment located in the territory it is located in.5A partially-owned parent member of a multinational group (see section 237(1)) that is located in a Pillar Two territory is a responsible member if it is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax and—ait is not wholly owned by another partially-owned parent member of that group that is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax, andbat least one member of the group in which it has an ownership interest, or a permanent establishment for which it is the main entity, has a top-up amount or an additional top-up amount.6Such a partially owned parent member is responsible for —aevery permanent establishment for which it is the main entity, ...ball of the members of the group it has an ownership interest in that are not located in the same territory it is located in , andcevery permanent establishment of a member of the group it has an ownership interest in other than a permanent establishment located in the territory it is located in.7For the purposes of this Part an entity is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax for an accounting period if—a the period commences on or after 31 December 2023 and the entity is located in the United Kingdom and is not an excluded entity, orbthe entity—iis located in another Pillar Two territory in which a tax equivalent to the IIR provisions of multinational top-up tax is in force for the period, andiiis not excluded from the application of that tax as a result of provision equivalent to section 127.7AIf for an accounting period—athe application in relation to an entity located in a territory of a tax equivalent to the IIR provisions of multinational top-up tax depends on the making by any person of an election or claim, andbthe tax does not apply in relation to the entity because such an election or claim is or is not made,subsection (7)(b)(i) has effect in relation to the entity as though the tax were not in force in the territory for the period.8In this section the “IIR provisions of multinational top-up tax” means the provisions of this Part relating to the charging of top-up amounts and additional top-up amounts (but not untaxed amounts).Qualifying multinational groupsQualifying multinational groups1291For the purposes of this Part, a multinational group is “qualifying” in an accounting period if conditions A and B are met.2Condition A is that the group’s members have revenue that exceeds the threshold set out in subsection (4) in at least 2 accounting periods of the previous 4 accounting periods.3Condition B is that at least one of the group’s members is located in the United Kingdom.4The threshold for an accounting period is the amount given by multiplying 750 million euros by the amount given by dividing the number of days in the accounting period by 365.5For the purposes of this section, and section 127(5), the revenue of the members of a multinational group for a period is to be determined by reference to the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent for that period.Change in composition of multinational group1301This section applies for the purpose of determining whether condition A in section 129(2) is met by a multinational group in an accounting period (“the qualifying period”) where its composition has changed—ain that period, orbduring the previous 4 accounting periods (“the testing period”).2Reference in subsection (1) to a change in the composition of a multinational group includes its formation as a result of the acquisition by one entity of ownership interests in another.3Where a member of the multinational group was not a member of any consolidated group in one or more of the accounting periods in the testing period—aits revenues for those accounting periods are to be determined by reference to its financial statements or any consolidated financial statements in which its revenue is included (and, if necessary, apportioned on a just and reasonable basis to those accounting periods), andbthose revenues are to be treated as forming part of the revenues of the multinational group in those periods (whether or not the group existed in those periods).4Where a multinational group is the result of a merger of two or more consolidated groups in the qualifying period or the testing period, for each accounting period of those periods in which they were separate groups, add together the revenues of each consolidated group for that period (determined by reference to the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent of each group and if necessary, apportioned on a just and reasonable basis to the accounting period of the merged group) to determine whether the threshold in section 129(4) is met for that period.5For the purposes of this section “merger” means any arrangement that results in all, or substantially all, of the members of two or more consolidated groups becoming members of a single consolidated group.Whether de-merged groups meet the revenue threshold1311Where a multinational group is the result of a qualifying de-merger (“a de-merged group”), section 129 has effect in relation to that group for its first accounting period that ends after the de-merger, and in the 3 accounting periods that follow it as if for subsection (2) there were substituted—2A de-merged group meets condition A ...—ain its first accounting period that ends after the de-merger, if its members have revenue for that period that exceeds the threshold set out in section 129(4), andbin any of the second to fourth accounting periods ending after the de-merger, if its members have revenue that exceeds the threshold set out in that section in any two of the following periods—ithat period;iiany of the accounting periods that precede that period and end after the de-merger.2In this section “qualifying de-merger” means the separation of members of a relevant multinational group into two or more consolidated groups in an accounting period of the relevant multinational group, such that those members cease to all be consolidated by the same ultimate parent.3A multinational group is relevant in an accounting period if—ait meets condition A in section 129(2) for that period (revenue threshold exceeded in at least 2 of previous 4 accounting periods), andbPillar Two rules apply to any member of the group for that period , or would do ignoring any transitional safe harbour election.Chapter 3Effective tax rate of members of a multinational group in a territoryEffective tax rate1321The effective tax rate of the standard members of a multinational group in a territory for an accounting period is determined as follows—Step 1Determine, in accordance with Chapter 4, the adjusted profits for that period of each standard member of that group in that territory.Step 2Subtract the sum of the losses of those members of the group that made a loss in that period from the sum of the profits of those members of the group that made a profit in that period.Step 3If the result of Step 2 is nil or less, the effective tax rate is to be treated as 15%. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4.Step 4Determine the combined covered tax balance for the standard members of the group in that territory (which may be negative).Step 5If that balance is nil the effective tax rate is 0%. Otherwise, proceed to Step 6.Step 6Divide the combined covered tax balance by the result of Step 2.Step 7Except where Step 3 or 5 applies, the effective tax rate of the standard members of that group is X% where X (which will be negative if the combined covered tax balance is negative) is the result of Step 6 multiplied by 100 and rounded to the nearest fourth decimal place (if it would otherwise have more than four). 2The combined covered tax balance for standard members of a multinational group in a territory is—awhere those members only have positive covered tax balances (see Chapter 5), the sum of those balances,bwhere those members only have negative covered tax balances (see that Chapter), the sum of those balances expressed as a negative number, orcwhere those members have a mixture of positive covered tax balances and negative covered tax balances, the amount (which may be positive or negative) given by subtracting the sum of those negative covered tax balances from the sum of those positive covered tax balances.Section 174 contains provision about the determination of covered tax balances of members of multinational groups.3For the purposes of this Part—aa member of a multinational group is a “standard member” if it is not—ian investment entity, oriia minority owned member, andba stateless member of a multinational group is to be treated as being the sole member of the group located in a nominal territory.Chapter 4Calculation of adjusted profits of members of a multinational groupAdjusted profits of a member of a multinational groupAdjusted profits of a member of a multinational group1331For the purposes of this Part, references to the adjusted profits of a member of a multinational group are to the underlying profits of that member adjusted in accordance with this Chapter and (to the extent applicable) Chapter 8.2Sections 134 to 137 set out how to determine the underlying profits.3Sections 138 to 158 set out various adjustments that may need to be made to those profits.4Sections 159 and 160 set out adjustments to be made in relation to members that are permanent establishments.5Sections 161 to 164 make provision for elections for certain matters to be calculated in an alternative manner.6Sections 167 to 171 set out adjustments in relation to transparent and hybrid entities and entities subject to a “qualifying dividend regime”.7Other provisions of this Part may require further adjustments of underlying profits, including provision in—aChapter 9 (investment entities), andbSchedule 16 (transitional provision).Underlying profits as determined for statements of ultimate parent1341The normal rule is that the underlying profits of a member of a multinational group, other than a member that is a permanent establishment, are the member’s profits as they would be determined for that member in preparing consolidated financial statements for the ultimate parent.2But those profits may instead be determined on the basis of an alternative accounting standard, and information in the separate financial accounts of the member, if all of the conditions in subsection (3) are met.3Those conditions are that—ait is not reasonably practicable to determine those profits on the basis of the accounting standard used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent,bthe alternative accounting standard is an acceptable accounting standard or an authorised accounting standard,cthe alternative accounting standard is that used for the financial accounts of the member, anddthe information in those accounts is reliable.4Where an alternative accounting standard is used and an amount relevant to the underlying profits of a member of a multinational group is recorded in a currency other than the currency used for the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent, that amount is to be converted to that currency for the purposes of this Part.5Subsection (6) applies where the application of a particular policy of the alternative accounting standard in the determination of the profits of the member results in a significant accounting standard difference that would not arise if the accounting standard of the ultimate parent had been applied.6The underlying profits are to be adjusted to eliminate that difference (as if the accounting standard of the ultimate parent had been applied).7Information in the financial accounts of the member is “reliable” if an auditor applying the generally accepted auditing standards of a relevant territory would reasonably conclude the member has in place such processes relating to their preparation as are likely to make the information in the financial accounts a fair and accurate description of the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of that member.8For the purposes of subsection (7), the following are relevant territories—athe territory in which the member is located;bthe territory in which the ultimate parent is located;cif the member is a flow-through entity (see section 168(2)) that is a stateless entity, the territory in which it was created.9For the purposes of this section, reference to a “significant accounting standard difference” is to a difference of more than 1 million euros between the treatment of an amount in the financial accounts of a member of a multinational group and the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent that is not eliminated over time.Underlying profits of permanent establishments1351The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group that is a permanent establishment are the member’s profits—aif the member has separate financial accounts prepared in accordance with acceptable accounting standards, as reflected in those accounts, andbif not, as reflected in the underlying profits accounts of the main entity, attributed between the permanent establishment and the main entity on the same principles as those set out in section 159(1), (2) or (3) (as the case may be).2If the member is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (d) of section 232(2) (income of permanent establishment exempt from tax in territory of main entity) the member’s underlying profits are determined only by reference to its relevant income and relevant expenses.3For the purposes of subsection (2)—athe relevant income of the member is the income of the member that is exempted from tax in the territory where the main entity is located that is attributable to operations carried out outside the territory the main entity is located in, andbthe relevant expenses of the member are such of its expenses as are attributable to those operations and are not deducted for tax purposes in the territory of the main entity.4Profits (as determined in accordance with this Part) of a permanent establishment are not to be taken into account in determining the adjusted profits of the main entity, and vice versa.5But subsection (4)—adoes not apply to profits of a permanent establishment that are excluded from its profits as a result of an adjustment under section 159, andbis subject to section 160 (attribution of losses between permanent establishment and main entity).Underlying profits accounts136In this Part, reference to the “underlying profits accounts” of a member of a multinational group is to the statements or accounts (which may in some circumstances be hypothetical) that are the basis of the determination of the member’s underlying profits for the purposes of this Part.No amounts outside of profit and loss account to be included137Except as required by any other provision of this Part, amounts that are recognised outside the profit and loss account in the underlying profits accounts of a member of a multinational group are not to be reflected in the underlying profits of that member.<Addition ChangeId="key-114c8a132de978fb3335e3cbea925ab8-1746708790722" CommentaryRef="key-114c8a132de978fb3335e3cbea925ab8">Use of substituted values</Addition>137A1Where any provision of this Part requires the substitution of a value recorded in the underlying profits accounts of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period, the substituted value—ais to be used for all purposes of this Part instead of the value recorded in the accounts (for example, where the carrying value of an asset has been substituted and the value of that asset is relevant to the member’s deferred tax expense, that substituted value is to be used in connection with determining that expense), andbis to be updated (for example, in making adjustments for depreciation for subsequent accounting periods),in each case, in accordance with the accounting standard used in determining the underlying profits of the member.2But where the value in question is the value of an asset, no adjustments for impairment are to be made to it.3Where the impaired value of an asset recorded in the underlying profits accounts for any accounting period is less than the substituted value of the asset for that period, use the value from the underlying profits accounts instead for that period and all subsequent periods (and subsection (2) does not apply in relation to that value).Adjustments of underlying profitsProfits adjusted to be before tax1381The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period are to be adjusted by adding back any debit, and excluding any credit, for tax expense amounts reflected in ... those profits.2In this Part “tax expense amount” means an amount of tax expense (including a deferred tax expense) in respect of—aa covered tax (whether or not the income to which the tax relates are excluded from adjusted profits for the purposes of this Part);bmultinational top-up tax, or any tax equivalent to multinational top-up tax;ca qualifying domestic top-up tax (see section 256);da qualifying undertaxed profits tax (see section 257);etaxes accrued by an insurance company in respect of returns to policyholders to the extent that section 152(2) applies in relation to those taxes;fa disqualified refundable imputation tax (see section 253).Profits adjusted to be profits before consolidation adjustments to eliminate intragroup transactions1391The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group are to be adjusted so that they include income, expenses, gains and losses arising from transactions between that member and other members of that group.2Subsection (1) is subject to—asection 137 (amounts outside profit and loss excluded), andbsection 164 (where an election is made under that section to exclude profits from intra-group transactions).Profits adjusted to be profits before certain purchase accounting adjustments1401The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period are to be adjusted so that they do not reflect relevant share acquisition adjustments.2“Relevant share acquisition adjustment” means a purchase accounting adjustment to the consolidated financial statements of an ultimate parent of a multinational group arising as a result of an entity becoming a member of the group as a result of the acquisition of ownership interests in the entity by an existing member of the group.3This section does not apply to a relevant share acquisition adjustment resulting from an acquisition of ownership interests before 1 December 2021 if the members of the group do not have sufficient records to identify the adjustment made with reasonable accuracy. General exclusion of dividends1411The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group are to be adjusted so as to exclude any excluded dividends received or accrued by that member.2“Excluded dividends” means—aa dividend or other distribution arising as a result of a qualifying interest in a flow-through entity (see section 168), orbany other dividend or other distribution arising as a result of a qualifying interest in an entity, other than a dividend or other distribution falling within subsection (3).3The following fall within this subsection—aa dividend or other distribution arising as a result of a qualifying interest that is a short-term portfolio holding;ba dividend or other distribution arising as a result of a qualifying interest in an investment entity that is subject to an election under section 214 (taxable distribution method election);ca dividend or other distribution made by a member of a multinational group if—iits recipient is a member of the same group, andiipayments in respect of the distribution (whether or not the distribution was accounted for as a distribution at the time of payment) are treated as an expense of the member that made it for the purposes of determining the member’s underlying profits, ordany other dividend or other distribution to the extent it reflects debt rather than a qualifying interest.4For the purposes of subsection (2) a qualifying interest in an entity held by a member of a multinational group is a portfolio holding if, on the vesting date of the distribution, the members of that group do not, between them, have qualifying interests that entitle them to 10% or more of the entity’s—aprofits,bcapital,creserves, anddvoting rights.5A portfolio holding held by a member of a multinational group is a short-term portfolio holding if it was held for less than 1 year before the vesting date of the distribution.6The vesting date of a distribution is the earlier of—athe day on which it is made, andbthe day on which the person to whom it arises is entitled to have it made.7The filing member of a multinational group may elect that all portfolio holdings held by a member of the group specified in the election are to be treated for the purposes of this section as short-term portfolio holdings.8Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under subsection (7).9In this section, and in section 142, “qualifying interest” in an entity means—aa direct ownership interest in it, ...b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Excluded equity gain or loss1421The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group are to be adjusted so as to exclude any excluded equity gain or loss.2“Excluded equity gain or loss” means any gain, profit or loss arising from—agains and losses from changes in fair value of a qualifying interest or the impairment of such an interest, other than an interest to which subsection (3) applies,bprofit or loss in respect of a qualifying interest included in underlying profits under the equity method of accounting, ... orcgains and losses from a disposition of a qualifying interest, other than an interest to which subsection (3) applies.3This subsection applies to a qualifying interest in an entity if the members of the multinational group do not, at the relevant time, have qualifying interests between them that entitle them to 10% or more of that entity’s—aprofits,bcapital,creserves, anddvoting rights.4The “relevant time” means—afor the purposes of testing whether subsection (3) applies to an interest for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) or (b), the end of the accounting period in which the gain, profit or loss arose, andbfor the purposes of testing whether subsection (3) applies to an interest for the purpose of subsection (2)(c), immediately before the disposition.5See also section 165 which provides for an election to treat certain gains or losses as not being excluded equity gains or losses.Included revaluation method gain or loss1431The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group are to be adjusted so as to include any relevant revaluation method gain or loss.2“Relevant revaluation method gain or loss” means a gain or loss, before making any adjustment to reflect tax expense amounts, arising as a result of the use of an accounting method or practice that—aperiodically adjusts the carrying value of the member’s property, plant and equipment to its fair value,brecords the changes in value in other comprehensive income, andcdoes not subsequently report the gains or losses through the profit and loss account.3In this Part—“other comprehensive income”, in relation to a member of a multinational group, means items of income and expense that are recognised, in the underlying profits accounts, outside the profit and loss account;“property, plant and equipment” has the meaning given, for the time being, by International Accounting Standard 16.Adjustments for asymmetric foreign currency income and losses1441This section only applies in relation to a member of a multinational group where its accounting currency and its tax currency are different.2Where—athe member has a gain or a loss as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate between its accounting currency and its tax currency, andbthe gain or loss is reflected differently in its taxable income and in the determination of its underlying profits (including where it is not reflected at all in one of those),the member’s underlying profits are to be adjusted so that the gain or loss is reflected in those profits on the same basis it is reflected in its taxable income.3Where—athe member has a gain or a loss as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate between its accounting currency and a third currency,bthe gain or loss is reflected in its underlying profits, andcthe gain or loss is not reflected, or is reflected to a different extent, in its taxable income,the member’s underlying profits are to be adjusted to exclude that gain or loss.4Where—athe member has a gain or a loss as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate between its tax currency and a third currency, andbthe gain or loss is not reflected, or is reflected to a different extent, in its underlying profits,the member’s underlying profits are to be adjusted so that the gain or loss is fully reflected in those profits (whether or not it is reflected in its taxable income).5In this Part—“accounting currency” means the currency of the main economic environment in which a member of a multinational group operates;“tax currency” means the currency in which the profits of that member are determined for the purposes of determining its liability to covered taxes in the territory in which it is located;“third currency” means any currency which is neither the accounting currency nor the tax currency of the member;“taxable income” means income subject to, and determined for the purposes of, covered taxes.Exclusion of expenses for illegal payments, fines and penalties1451Where the underlying profits of a member of a multinational group reflects—aexpenses accrued for illegal payments (for example, bribes or kickbacks), orbexpenses accrued for fines or penalties of 50,000 euros or more,those profits are to be adjusted to exclude those expenses.2For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), a payment is illegal if the making of that payment is, or forms part of conduct which is, an offence under the law of—athe United Kingdom,bthe territory of the member, orcthe territory of the ultimate parent.3For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), where more than one fine or penalty is accrued in respect of the same conduct, or for continuing conduct, those fines or penalties are to be aggregated.Adjustment for changes in accounting policies and prior period errors146Where there has been a change to the net assets and liabilities of a member of a multinational group at the start of an accounting period, the underlying profits of that member for that period are to be adjusted to include the amount of that change if the change is attributable to—aa change in accounting policy that affects income or expenses included in determining the member’s adjusted profits, orba correction of an error reflected in the determination, for the purposes of this Part, of the adjusted profits of the member for a previous accounting period, except to the extent the error results in a recalculation under section 217(5) (post filing adjustments of covered taxes).<Substitution ChangeId="key-ca2295fb2573d430b03b5a0a808230ae-1716453587663" CommentaryRef="key-ca2295fb2573d430b03b5a0a808230ae">Accrued pension expense</Substitution>1471This section applies

income rather than as tax expense, andcother tax credits are accounted for as tax expense rather than as income.2Section 148 sets out when tax credits are qualifying refundable tax credits.3Section 148A sets out the meaning of “transferable tax credit” and “marketable transferable tax credit”.4Sections 148B and 148C set out rules about the value of marketable transferable tax credits.5Sections 176A to 176C (in Chapter 5) set out rules about the value of tax credits that are not marketable transferable tax credits but which are transferable or were transferred (and which as a result of subsection (1)(c) are generally to be accounted for as tax expense).6See also sections 176D to 176F which contain special rules for tax credits received in under a tax equity partnership arrangement.

is—ithe person to whom the credit was originally granted (“the originator”), oriia person (“a purchaser”) who has acquired the credit (whether from the originator or anyone else), andbthe transferability condition is met in relation to the member.2A transferable tax credit is a marketable transferable tax credit in relation to a member of a multinational group if—ait is a transferable tax credit, andbthe marketable condition is met in relation to the member.3Those conditions are met differently depending on whether the member is the originator or a purchaser.4The transferability condition is met—ain relation to the originator if, under the law of the territory in which the credit was granted, credits of that type may be transferred to a person or entity that is not connected with originator before the end of 15 months after the end of the accounting period in which the credit is granted, andbin relation to a purchaser if, under the law of that territory, credits of that type may be transferred to a person or entity that is not connected with the purchaser—iunder the same or similar conditions as would apply to the originator, andiibefore the end of the accounting

between the value of the credit and the consideration received for its transfer is to be recognised as a loss in the accounting period in which it is transferred.4Where the credit is transferred before the end of 15 months after the end of the accounting period in which the credit is granted, the consideration for the transfer (rather than the value of the credit) is to be recognised as

period in which the credit expired.<Addition ChangeId="key-7b13fbf63f2f445d93df17aac512ca41-1716382297757" CommentaryRef="key-7b13fbf63f2f445d93df17aac512ca41">Value of marketable transferable tax credits: purchaser</Addition>148C1The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group that is the purchaser in relation to a marketable transferable tax credit are to be adjusted to secure that the value of marketable transferable tax credits it holds, and has held, as purchaser are reflected as follows.2On using an amount of the credit in an accounting period, the amount given by subsection (3) is to be recognised as income.3That amount is the amount given by multiplying—athe amount used divided by the full value of the credit, bybthe amount given by subtracting the purchase price of the credit from the full value of the credit.4On transferring the credit, the amount in subsection (5) is to be reflected in the underlying profits for the accounting period in which the transfer occurred—aif positive, as a gain, orbif negative, as a loss.5That amount is the amount given by subtracting—athe sum of—ithe purchase price of the credit, andiiany amounts recognised as income in accordance with subsection (2) (whether in that accounting period or a previous accounting period), frombthe sum of—ithe amount of the credit that has been used, andiithe consideration for the transfer.6Where the credit has not been transferred, and was not fully used, before its expiry, the amount in subsection (7) is to be reflected as a loss in the accounting period in which the credit expired.7That amount is the amount given by subtracting—athe amount of the credit that was used, frombthe sum of the purchase price of the credit and any amounts recognised in accordance with subsection (2).Arm’s length requirement for certain transactions1491Subsection (6) applies to a member of a multinational group if any of Conditions A to D are met.2Condition A is that—aa debit is recorded in the underlying profits accounts of the member that arises from a transaction (“the relevant transaction”) comprising a transfer of an asset between the member and another member of that group,bboth members are located in the same territory, andcthe relevant transaction is not recorded on an arm’s length basis.3Condition B is that—athe member is party to a transaction (“the relevant transaction”) with another member of that group,bboth members are located in the same territory,cone of the members is a minority owned member and the other is not, anddthe relevant transaction is not recorded in the member’s underlying profits accounts on an arm’s length basis.4Condition C is that—athe member is party to a transaction (“the relevant transaction”) with another member of that group,bboth members are located in the same territory,cone of the members is an investment entity and the other is not, anddthe relevant transaction is not recorded in the member’s underlying profits accounts on an arm’s length basis.5Condition D is that—athe member is party to a transaction (“the relevant transaction”) with another member of that group,bboth members are located in the same territory, andcthe recorded value of the relevant transaction is not the same in each member’s underlying profits accounts.6Where this subsection applies to a member of a multinational group, the underlying profits of both that member and the other member are to be adjusted to secure that the relevant transaction is reflected on an arm’s length basis.7In this Part “arm’s length basis”, in relation to a transaction between members of the same multinational group, means reflecting the conditions of the transaction as would have been obtained had the transaction been conducted between independent enterprises in a comparable transaction under comparable circumstances.Transactions between members of a multinational group: differences with accounting for tax1501This section applies if—aa transaction between two members of a multinational group located in different territories is not recorded in the same amount, or is not recorded on an arm’s length basis (or is not recorded at all), in the underlying profits accounts of both of those members, andbthere is a permanent difference in respect of the transaction in relation to one or both of those members as a result of adjustments to the taxable income of the member made in connection with transfer pricing.2Subsection (3) applies if—afor each member there is a permanent difference in respect of the transaction which arises as a result of adjustments made in connection with transfer pricing, andbthe permanent difference for each member corresponds to the permanent difference for the other.3Where this subsection applies, the underlying profits of each of the members are to be adjusted so that the amount of the transaction reflects the amount reflected in the member’s taxable income.4Subsection (5) applies if—aone of the members (“A”) is a high tax member,bthere is a permanent difference for A in respect of the transaction which arises as a result of adjustments made in connection with transfer pricing, andcthere is no permanent difference for the other member (“B”) in respect of the transaction arising as a result of adjustments made in connection with transfer pricing.5Where this subsection applies—athe underlying profits of A are to be adjusted so that the amount of the transaction reflects the amount reflected in the member’s taxable income, andban adjustment is to be made to the underlying profits of B which corresponds with the amount of the adjustment made to the profits of A.6For the purposes of this section, a member of a multinational group is a high tax member for an accounting period (“the relevant period”) if—athe nominal tax rate that applies to the member is, or exceeds, 15% in the relevant period, andbthe effective tax rate of the standard members of that group in the territory in which the member is located is, or exceeds, 15% in either, or both, of the accounting period that immediately preceded the relevant period and the accounting period immediately before that one.6ABut—afor the purposes of subsection (6)(b), ignore any accounting period in which there was no standard member of the group in that territory to which the Pillar Two rules applied, andba standard member of a multinational group is always to be regarded as a high tax member for an accounting period if a transitional safe harbour election applies to it for that period.7In this section reference to a “permanent difference” is to a difference between the treatment of an amount for the purposes of covered taxes and for accounting purposes that is not eliminated over time (and accordingly does not give rise to deferred tax).<Addition ChangeId="key-48bf7a83a45e5b9c7dc99794f7bc41a7-1777289111926" CommentaryRef="key-48bf7a83a45e5b9c7dc99794f7bc41a7">Instruments held intragroup: issuer’s accounting treatment to prevail</Addition>150AIf—aa member of a multinational group (“the holder”) holds an interest (of any description) in another member of the group (“the issuer”), andbthe interest is accounted for as equity in the underlying profits accounts of one of the members and as debt in the underlying profits accounts of the other,the underlying profits of the holder are to be adjusted to what they would be if the interest were accounted for in the holder’s underlying profits accounts in the same way as it is accounted for in the issuer’s.Adjustments for companies in distress1511This section applies to a member of a multinational group for an accounting period where—ait is released from an obligation to pay a debt (however that obligation arises), ...aathat release is reflected in the underlying profits of the member for that period,bat the time of that release, one or more of the circumstances mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (2) applied to it , andcthe filing member of the group elects that this section should apply to the member for that period.2Those circumstances are—athat the member meets an insolvency condition mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 322(6) of CTA 2009 (release of debts);bthat—iit is reasonable to suppose that within 12 months, ignoring any debts owed to persons and entities that are connected to the member, the member will be unable to meet its debts to persons and entities it is not connected to as they fall due, andiithe member has obtained an independent expert opinion confirming that is the case;cthat the member’s liabilities exceed its assets.3Where the circumstance in subsection (2)(a) applies to the member, its underlying profits are to be adjusted to exclude any profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation.4Where—athe circumstance in subsection (2)(b) applies to the member,bthe circumstance in (2)(a) does not, andcthe debt—iis not a debt owed to a person or entity that is connected to the member, oriithe debt is owed to a person or entity that is connected to the member, but the release of the debt obligation can reasonably be regarded as part of arrangements to secure the solvency of the member that involve the release of debt owed to a person that is not connected to the member,the member’s underlying profits are to be adjusted to exclude any profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation.5Subsection (6) applies where—athe circumstance in subsection (2)(c) applies to the member,bneither the circumstance in subsection (2)(a) nor (2)(b) applies to the member, andcthe debt is not a debt owed to a person or entity that is connected to the member.6Where this subsection applies, the underlying profits of the member are to be adjusted to exclude the lesser of—athe amount of any profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation,bif, as a result of the release of the debt obligation, the member’s assets exceed its liabilities, the amount by which its liabilities exceeded its assets immediately before the release, andcif, in determining the member’s liability to tax, some or all of the profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation are offset by local tax attributes, the amount of those profits that are offset.6AFor the purposes of subsection (6)(c) “local tax attributes” means any tax attributes (which may include foreign tax credits) of the member that are recognised under the law of the territory in which the member is located (whether or not such tax attributes are excluded from the member’s covered tax balance).7Where more than one debt is released at the same time, the debts released are to be treated as a single aggregate amount for the purpose of assessing whether conditions in this section are met (for example, whether the member’s assets exceed its liabilities at any time).8Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under subsection (1)(c).Adjustments where life assurance business carried on1521This section applies to a member of a multinational group that carries on a life assurance business.2Where amounts charged to the member’s policyholders for taxes payable by the member are reflected in its underlying profits, those profits are to be adjusted to exclude such of those amounts as would (had they not been charged to the policyholders) have been included in the member’s covered tax balance.3Where returns to the member’s policyholders are not reflected in the member’s underlying profits but corresponding increases or decreases in the liability of the member to the policyholders are so reflected, those profits are to be adjusted so as to reflect those returns to the extent they correspond with those increases or decreases in liability.4In this section “life assurance business” means—aa life assurance business within the meaning of section 56 of FA 2012, orba business regulated as a life assurance business under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.Exclusion of certain insurance reserve movement expense1531The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group that is an insurance company are to be adjusted so as to exclude any expense resulting from the movement of its insurance reserves where the movement is economically matched by excluded dividends falling within section 141(2)(b) (ignoring the extent to which those dividends also reflect any investment management fees).2The underlying profits of a member of a multinational group that is an insurance company are to be adjusted so as to exclude any expense resulting from the movement of its insurance reserves where the movement is economically matched by an excluded equity gain or loss.Exclusion of qualifying intra-group financing arrangement expenses1541Where—athe underlying profits of the member of a multinational group for an accounting period reflect expenses attributable to a qualifying intra-group financing arrangement that could be reasonably expected, over the expected duration of the arrangement, to—iincrease the amount of expenses taken into account in calculating the member’s underlying profits, andiinot result in a corresponding increase in the taxable income of a member of the group that is a high tax member for that period,bthe member is a low tax member for that period, andcthe expenses are not required to be included as a result of section 155,the member’s underlying profits for that period are to be adjusted to exclude those expenses.2In this section—“intra-group financing arrangement” means an arrangement between two or more members of a multinational group under which a member (member A) directly or indirectly provides credit or otherwise makes an investment in another member (member B);an intra-group financing arrangement is “qualifying” if member A is a high tax member and member B is a low tax member;a member of a multinational group is a “low tax member” in an accounting period if the effective tax rate for the standard members of the group located in the member’s territory for that period would, ignoring intra-group financing arrangements, be less than 15%;a member of a multinational group is a “high tax member” in an accounting period if the effective tax rate for the standard members of the group located in the member’s territory would, ignoring intra-group financing arrangements, be 15% or more.Qualifying tier one capital1551Where amounts recognised by a member of a multinational group as a decrease to its equity in an accounting period that is attributable to distributions paid or payable in respect of qualifying tier one capital issued by the member are not reflected in its underlying profits for that period as expenses, those profits are to be adjusted to reflect those amounts as expenses.2Where amounts recognised by a member of a multinational group as an increase to its equity in an accounting period that is attributable to distributions received or receivable in respect of qualifying tier one capital held by the member are not reflected in its underlying profits for that period as income, those profits are to be adjusted to reflect those amounts as income.3In this Part “qualifying tier one capital” means an instrument issued by an entity pursuant to regulatory requirements applicable to the banking or insurance sector that is convertible to equity or written down if a pre-specified trigger event occurs and that has other features which are designed to aid loss absorbency in the event of a financial crisis.Exclusion of international shipping profits1561Where the underlying profits of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period reflect the inclusion of international shipping profits, the member’s underlying profits for that period are to be adjusted to exclude those profits.2The member’s international shipping profits for the period are the sum of the member’s—acore international shipping profits (see section 157), andbancillary international shipping profits (see section 158).3Subsection (1) does not apply if, in the period, the strategic and commercial management of any ship used in international shipping giving rise to those profits is not effectively carried on within the territory in which the member is located.4In this section, and in sections 157 and 158—“international shipping” means the transportation of passengers or cargo by ship between different territories;“transportation” does not include towing or dredging.Core international shipping profits1571A member’s core international shipping profits for a period are the member’s core international shipping revenue for the period less the member’s core international shipping costs for the period.2A member’s core international shipping revenue is all revenue earned by the member in consideration for the member’s performance of core international shipping activities.3A member’s core international shipping costs are the sum of—aall costs incurred by the member that are directly attributable to the member’s performance of core international shipping activities, andball costs incurred by the member that are indirectly attributable to the member’s performance of core international shipping activities multiplied by the core international shipping factor.4The core international shipping factor is the member’s core international shipping revenue divided by all revenue earned by the member from any source.5An activity is a core international shipping activity if it is of a type referred to in subsection (6).6The types of activity are—acarrying out international shipping, whether alone or in conjunction with another person;bleasing as lessor a ship to be used for international shipping, where—ithe ship is leased fully equipped, crewed and supplied, oriithe lessee is a member of the same multinational group and the purpose of the lease is to allow that member to carry out a core international shipping activity;carranging for another person to carry out international shipping under slot-chartering arrangements;dthe sale of a ship used in international shipping, where the ship has been held for use by the member for at least one year.Ancillary international shipping profits1581A member’s ancillary international shipping profits for a period are the member’s ancillary international shipping revenue for the period, less—athe member’s ancillary international shipping costs for the period, andbthe member’s ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment for the period.2A member’s ancillary international shipping revenue is all revenue earned by the member in consideration for the member’s performance of ancillary international shipping activities.3A member’s ancillary international shipping costs are the sum of—aall costs incurred by the member that are directly attributable to the member’s performance of ancillary international shipping activities, andball costs incurred by the member that are indirectly attributable to the member’s performance of ancillary international shipping activities multiplied by the ancillary international shipping factor.4The ancillary international shipping factor is the ancillary international shipping revenue divided by all revenue earned by the member from any source.5An activity is an ancillary international shipping activity if—ait is of a type referred to in subsection (6), andbit is performed primarily in connection with international shipping.6The types of activity are—aleasing as lessor a ship to be used for international shipping, where—ithe ship is not leased fully equipped, crewed and supplied,iithe lessee is a third party, andiiithe lease has not been in effect for a period exceeding three years, or entered into on terms that would result in the lease being in effect for such a period;bselling tickets for a domestic leg of an international voyage carried out by a third party;cleasing as lessor a container of a kind used for international shipping;dstoring such a container for a short period, including by leasing as lessor space for the storage of such a container by another person;eproviding support services (see subsection (7)(e)) to persons engaged in international shipping;fholding assets necessary for the member to carry out a core international shipping activity;gthe disposal of emissions allowances it is necessary for the member to hold in order to carry out international shipping.7For the purposes of subsection (6)—a“third party”, in relation to a member of a multinational group, means a person that is not—ithe member, oriia member of the same multinational group;b“domestic leg of an international voyage” means the transportation of passengers or cargo by ship between two locations in a single territory in circumstances where the ship’s overall voyage has proceeded from or will continue to a different territory;ca lease of a ship is in effect for the period in which the practical effect of that lease and any associated arrangements (including any other lease) is that a person is in the position of a lessee of the ship, whether or not the lease or any other document expressly provides that the person is a lessee of the ship for the whole of that period;d“lessee”, in relation to a ship, means the person referred to in paragraph (c);e“support services” means engineering, maintenance, cargo handling, catering and customer relations services.8The member’s ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment is to be calculated by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the “cap threshold” in accordance with Steps 2 to 5.Step 2Calculate the core international shipping profits for each member of the group in the territory.Step 3Add together the amounts calculated at Step 2.Step 4If the result of Step 3 is nil or less, the cap threshold is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 5.Step 5Divide the result of Step 3 by two. This is the cap threshold.Step 6Calculate the ancillary international shipping profits for each member of the group in the territory (ignoring the requirement to subtract the ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment).Step 7Add together the amounts calculated at Step 6.Step 8Subtract the cap threshold from the result of Step 7. If the result is nil or less, the member’s ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 9.Step 9If the ancillary international shipping profits for the member calculated at Step 6 are nil or less, the member’s ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 10.Step 10Add together any positive ancillary international shipping profits calculated at Step 6.Step 11Divide the ancillary international shipping profits for the member calculated at Step 6 by the result of Step 10.Step 12Multiply the result of Step 8 by the result of Step 11. This is the member’s ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment.Adjustments only applicable to permanent establishmentsPermanent establishment income and expense attribution1591Where a member of a multinational group is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (a) of section 232(2) (entity treated as permanent establishment in accordance with tax treaty), its underlying profits are to be adjusted so that they —areflect all amounts of income and expense that are attributable to it in accordance with the tax treaty under which it is treated as a permanent establishment, andbdo not reflect amounts attributable to its main entity in accordance with that treaty.2Where a member of a multinational group is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (b) of section 232(2) (permanent establishment taxed on similar basis to residents in absence of tax treaty), its underlying profits are to be adjusted so that they —areflect all amounts of income and expense that are attributable to it in accordance with the law of the territory in which the member is located, andbdo not reflect amounts attributable to its main entity in accordance with the law of that territory.3Where a member of a multinational group is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (c) of section 232(2) (permanent establishment located in territory without corporate income tax), its underlying profits are to be adjusted so that they —areflect all amounts of income and expense that would be attributed to it in accordance with Article 7 of the OECD tax model, andbdo not reflect amounts that would be attributed to its main entity in accordance with the OECD tax model.4Amounts are to be reflected (or, as the case may be, not reflected) in the underlying profits of a permanent establishment in accordance with subsections (1) to (3) whether or not—ain the case of an amount of income, it is subject to tax or not, orbin the case of an amount of expense, it is deductible or not.5See also section 135(1)(b) (by virtue of which equivalent adjustments to those set out in subsections (1) to (3) will already be reflected in the underlying profits accounts of a permanent establishment that does not have separate financial accounts from the main entity prepared in accordance with acceptable accounting standards).Attribution of losses between permanent establishment and main entity1601Subsection (2) applies where, on determining (ignoring this section) the adjusted profits of a member of a multinational group that is a permanent establishment for an accounting period (“the relevant period”), that member has a loss.2So much of that loss as—ais treated as an allowable expense of the main entity for the purposes of the computation of tax in the territory in which the main entity is located, andbis not set off against an item of income that is subject to tax under the laws of both the territory of the permanent establishment and the territory of the main entity,is to be treated as an expense of the main entity for the purposes of determining the adjusted profits of the main entity for the relevant period.3Subsections (4) and (5) apply where an amount (“the relevant amount”) is treated as an expense of the main entity for the purposes of determining its adjusted profits for the relevant period as a result of subsection (2).4The relevant amount is to be excluded from the adjusted profits of the permanent establishment for the relevant period.5Where, on determining (ignoring this section) the adjusted profits of the permanent establishment for an accounting period after the relevant period, the permanent establishment has made a profit for that period, those profits are to be treated as income of the main entity for the purpose of determining that entity’s adjusted profits for that period.6But subsection (5) only applies until the total amount treated as income of the main entity as a result of that subsection is equal to the relevant amount.7Where profits of the permanent establishment for an accounting period are treated as income of the main entity as a result of subsection (5), those profits are to be excluded from the adjusted profits of the permanent establishment for that period.Elections to treat certain amounts differentlyElection to use realisation principle1611The filing member of a multinational group may elect that all of the group’s members in a territory, or all of the group’s members in that territory that are investment entities, are to use the realisation principle in determining gains and losses in relation to—aall assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value or impairment accounting, orbtangible assets that are subject to fair value accounting or impairment accounting.2Where such an election is in force in relation to members of multinational group in a territory—athe underlying profits of each of the group’s members for each of the accounting periods in respect of which the election is in force are to be adjusted so as to exclude gains and losses in respect of assets or liabilities to which the election applies that are attributable to fair value or impairment accounting;bthe carrying value of an asset or liability to which the election applies to be used for the purposes of determining gains or losses in respect of that asset or liability, is to be its carrying value at the later of—ithe commencement of the first accounting period of the multinational group to which the election applied, oriithe time the asset was acquired or the liability was incurred.3Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under this section.4Where an election under this section has been revoked, the underlying profits of each member of a multinational group in respect of which the election was in force are to be adjusted in the first accounting period in respect of which the election no longer applies (“the revocation period”) by adjusting for the change in treatment of the assets and liabilities that were subject to the election and that remain held by the member at the commencement of the revocation period.5To adjust the underlying profits of a member of a multinational group for the change in treatment of an asset or liability subject to an election under this section, subtract the carrying value of that asset or liability as determined in accordance with subsection (2)(b) from the fair value of the asset or liability at the commencement of the revocation period and—aif the amount given is positive, add it to those profits, orbif the amount is negative, subtract it from those profits.Election to reflect deductions for stock-based compensation1621The filing member of a multinational group may make an election under this section for the members of the group located in a territory to adjust their underlying profits in accordance with subsection (2).2Where such an election has effect—athe underlying profits of each such member is adjusted by substituting, for the amount of any expense for stock-based compensation, the amount that was allowed as a deduction for the same expense when calculating the member’s taxable income, andbwhere such a member has an expense for stock-based compensation that arises in connection with an option that expires without exercise, the underlying profits of that member for the accounting period in which the option expires are to be increased by such amount of that expense as was an expense in determining the member’s adjusted profits for a previous accounting period.3Where—athe underlying profits of a member of a multinational group are adjusted in accordance with subsection (2) in respect of an amount of stock-based compensation,bsome expenses in respect of that compensation were recorded in the underlying profits of the member in one or more accounting periods before the election had effect, andcthe sum of the expenses recorded in those periods exceeds the sum of what those expenses would have been had the election been in effect for those periods,the member’s adjusted profits are to be adjusted to include the amount of that excess as if it were income.4Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under this section.5Where—athe underlying profits of a member of a multinational group are adjusted in accordance with subsection (2),bthe election is revoked before all of the stock-based compensation has been paid, andcthe sum of amounts deducted in accordance with subsection (2) exceeds the sum of the financial account expense accrued that has been paid,the member’s adjusted profits are to be adjusted to include the amount of that excess as if it were income.Election to spread certain capital gains over five years1631The filing member of a multinational group may elect that the net gain in respect of the disposal of local tangible assets by standard members of the group in a territory in an accounting period (“the election period”) is to be spread across that period and the preceding 4 accounting periods (and those preceding periods are referred to collectively as “the look-back period”) in accordance with subsection (2).2To spread the net gain across those periods take the following steps—Step 1 For each standard member of the group in the territory in the first accounting period of the look-back period (“the carry-back period”), determine whether it has net losses in respect of the disposal of local tangible assets (ignoring any losses in relation to which these steps have previously been carried out). Step 2Allocate the proportion of the net gain in the election period to each standard member with such losses in the carry-back period that is equal to the proportion those losses represent of the total losses in respect of the disposal of local tangible assets of all such members of the group in the carry-back period.Step 3Adjust the underlying profits of each such member by reducing the member’s losses (but not below nil) by the amount allocated to it under Step 2.Step 4If there remains an amount of the net gain which was not used to reduce members’ losses in accordance with Step 3, carry out Steps 1 to 3 again, but as if—the reference in Step 2 to the net gain were to that amount, andthe reference to the first accounting period of the look-back period were to the second accounting period of the look-back period.Step 5If there still remains an amount of the net gain which was not used to reduce the members’ losses, carry out Steps 1 to 3 again but as if—the reference in Step 2 to the net gain were to that amount, andthe reference to the first accounting period of the look-back period were to the third accounting period of the look-back period.Step 6If there still remains an amount of the net gain which was not used to reduce the members’ losses, carry out Steps 1 to 3 again but as if—the reference in Step 2 to the net gain were to that amount, andthe reference to the first accounting period of the look-back period were to the fourth accounting period of the look-back period.Step 7If there still remains an amount of the net gain which was not used to reduce the members’ losses, carry out Steps 1 to 3 again but as if—the reference in Step 2 to the net gain were to that amount, andthe reference to the first accounting period of the look-back period were to the election period.Step 8If there still remains an amount of the net gain which was not used to reduced the members’ losses, divide the amount remaining by 5.Step 9Determine which of the standard members of the group (“current gain members”) located in the territory have net gains from the disposal of local tangible assets in the election period.A current gain member is not to be regarded as a current gain member in any accounting period in which—it is not a standard member of the group, orit is not located in the territory. Step 10For the election period and each accounting period that is in the look-back period, adjust the underlying profits for that period (“the adjustment period”) of each current gain member by adding the amount given by multiplying—the result of Step 8, bythe amount given by dividing—the net gains of the current gain member from the disposal of local tangible assets in the election period, bythe sum of net gains from the disposal of local tangible assets in the election period of all current gain members in the adjustment period.Step 11Where there are no current gain members in an accounting period in the look-back period, adjust the underlying profits for that period of each standard member located in the territory for that period by adding the amount given by multiplying—the result of Step 8, bythe amount given by dividing 1 by the number of standard members of the group in the territory in that accounting period.Step 12Where there are no standard members of the group in the territory in one or more accounting periods in the look-back period, further adjust the underlying profits for the election period of each current gain member by adding the amount given by multiplying—the result of Step 8 multiplied by the number of accounting periods in the look-back period in which no standard members of the group were located in the territory, bythe amount given by dividing—the net gains of the current gain member from the disposal of local tangible assets in the election period, bythe sum of net gains from the disposal of local tangible assets in the election period of all current gain members.3For the purposes of this section any gain or loss arising from the transfer of assets between ... members of a multinational group is to be ignored.4Where, as a result of an election under this section, the underlying profits of a member of a multinational group in an accounting period is adjusted, the following are to be recalculated for that period—athe effective tax rate for the member and the other members of that group located in the same territory, andbthe top-up amounts that those members would have.5Section 206—amakes provision about the consequences of a recalculation (which may include the generation of an additional top-up amount), andbapplies to recalculations under subsection (4).6Where an election under this section has effect in relation to a member of a multinational group, any amount of tax with respect to any gains or loss in respect of the disposal of local tangible assets in the election year is to be excluded from the calculation of the member’s covered tax balance.7Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this section.8In this section “local tangible asset” means immovable property in the same territory as the member disposing of it is located.Election to exclude intra-group transactions1641The filing member of a multinational group may elect that standard members of the group that are located in the same territory and are included in a tax consolidation group are to apply the consolidated accounting treatment of the ultimate parent to eliminate income, expenses, gains and losses arising from transactions between those members.2Where an election under this section has effect—athe underlying profits of those members are to be adjusted accordingly in the accounting periods for which the election has effect, andbthe underlying profits of those members are to be adjusted for the first accounting period for which the election has effect so as to ensure that there are no duplications or omissions of items of income, expenses, gains or losses arising from the making of the election.3Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under this section.4Where an election under this section is revoked, the underlying profits of the members to whom the election applied are to be adjusted in the first accounting period in which the revocation has effect so as to ensure that there are no duplications or omissions of items of income, expenses, gains or losses arising from the revocation of the election.5For the purposes of this section, members of a multinational group in a territory are included in a “tax consolidation group” if under the law of that territory the income, expenses, gains or losses of those members may for tax purposes be aggregated, surrendered to each other or otherwise shared or transferred between them as a result of a connection between those members.Election to have excluded equity gains and losses included1651The filing member of a multinational group may elect that qualifying excluded equity gains or losses of the standard members of the group in a territory are to be treated as not being excluded equity gains or losses for the purposes of section 142.2Excluded equity gains or losses are “qualifying” if aeither—ithose gains or losses are subject to covered taxes (as taxable gains or allowable losses) in that territory, oriiin the case of gains or losses falling within section 142(2)(a) that are not subject to covered taxes in that territory, gains or losses on the disposal of the qualifying interest in question are subject to covered taxes in that territory , andbin the case of gains or losses falling within section 142(2)(b), the gains or losses are not in respect of an interest to which section 142(3) applies.3Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under subsection (1).4But a revocation of the election under that paragraph does not have effect in relation to equity gains or losses in respect of an ownership interest if—aany member’s adjusted profits have included a loss in respect of that ownership interest as a result of subsection (1), andbthat loss would otherwise have been excluded from those profits as a result of section 142(1).Accordingly, subsection (1) will apply to equity gains and losses in respect of that ownership interest even after the election is revoked.Election in relation to hedging currency risk in ownership interests1661The filing member of a multinational group may elect that the underlying profits of a member of the group specified in the election are to be adjusted to exclude qualifying gains or losses arising from fluctuations in exchange rates.2A gain or loss arising from fluctuations in exchange rates is “qualifying” to the extent—athe gain or loss is attributable to an instrument intended to act as a hedge against currency risk in ownership interests held by the member or another member of the group, other than an ownership interest in an entity falling within subsection (3),bthe gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent,cthe instrument is considered an effective net investment hedge under the authorised accounting standard upon which those statements are prepared,dwhere the instrument is held by the member, the economic and accounting effect of the hedge has not been transferred to any other entity, andewhere the instrument is not held by the member, the economic and accounting effect of the hedge has been transferred to the member.3An ownership interest in an entity held by a member of a multinational group falls within this subsection if the members of that group do not, between them, have qualifying interests that entitle them to 10% or more of the entity’s —aprofits,bcapital,creserves, anddvoting rights.4Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under this section.Dealing with transparency and entities subject to qualifying dividend regimeUnderlying profits of hybrids1671This section applies where a member of a multinational group (“M”)—ais not regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which it is located, andbis regarded as tax transparent in a territory in which a member of the group with an ownership interest in it (“G”) is located.2Where—athe adjusted profits of G reflect profits of M, andbthe basis for the profits of M being so reflected is that M (along with any other entities through which G holds that interest) is regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which G is located,such profits as are reflected on that basis are to be allocated to M (and included in the adjusted profits of M to the extent not already included) and excluded from the adjusted profits of G.Underlying profits of transparent <CommentaryRef Ref="key-efdf334944cc12b1be13e9a044d21276"/>... entities1681This section applies where a member of a multinational group (“M”) is a flow-through entity.2An entity is a flow-through entity if—ait is regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which it is created, andbit is not subject to a covered tax on its profits in another territory as a result of being tax resident in that territory.2ASubject to subsection (2C), a member of the group is a “reference entity” in relation to M if that member—ais a non-FTE entity, andbholds an ownership interest in M which is not held through a non-FTE entity.2BIn subsection (2A) “non-FTE entity” means an entity that is not a flow-through entity.2CIf no member of the group is a reference entity in relation to M by virtue of subsection (2A), the ultimate parent of the group is a “reference entity” in relation to M.3A proportion of the underlying profits of M is to be allocated to any member of the group (“R”)—awhich is a reference entity in relation to M, andbin relation to which condition A or B is met.4The proportion to be allocated to R is equal to the percentage ownership interest R has in M in relation to which condition A or B is met ....5Condition A is met if—aR’s ownership interest in M is direct,bR’s ownership interest in M is a flow-through ownership interest, andcM is regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which R is located.6Condition B is met if—aR’s ownership interest in M is indirect,bR’s ownership interest in M is a flow-through ownership interest,cM and each entity through which the ownership interest is held are regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which R is located, anddno entity through which R holds the ownership interest is a reference entity in relation to M.7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

group has an ownership interest in M which is held—adirectly, orbthrough a direct ownership interest in an entity in which a member of the group which is a reference entity in relation to M has an ownership interest,a proportion of M’s underlying profits, equal to the percentage ownership interest the investor has in M, is to be excluded from the adjusted profits of M.9AWhere M is the main entity in relation to a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of section 232(2), any reduction of M’s underlying profits by virtue of subsection (9) is to be applied before any attribution of M’s underlying profits to a permanent establishment in accordance with section 159.10Any amount of M’s underlying profits not allocated to an entity ... in accordance with this section is to be included in the adjusted profits of M.10ZAWhere M is treated as a flow-through entity by virtue of an election made in relation to R and M under section 213 (investment entity tax transparency election), the underlying profits of R are to be adjusted so as to exclude any gain, profit or loss—athat arises from changes in the fair value of, or from the impairment of, R’s interest in M, andbthat is not an excluded equity gain or loss (taking into account any election under section 165),but the amount excluded under this subsection is not to exceed the amount of M’s underlying profits that is allocated to R under subsection (3).10AFor the purposes of subsections (5), (6) and (9), an ownership interest in M held by a member of the group is a flow-through ownership interest if (and so far as)—aM is regarded, otherwise than by virtue of section 169(2), as tax transparent in the territory in which M was created,bthe interest is held directly and M is treated by virtue of section 169(2) as being regarded as tax transparent to the extent of the interest, orcthe interest is derived from a direct ownership interest in M to which paragraph (b) applies.11. . . . . . . . . .

applies to a member of a multinational group that—ais not tax resident in any territory,bis not subject to covered taxes,cdoes not have a place of business in the territory where it is created, anddis not regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which it is created.2A member of a multinational group to which this section applies is to be treated as being regarded as tax transparent in the territory it is created in to the extent that—ait is regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which holders of direct ownership interests in the member are located, andbits income, expenditure, profits and losses are not attributable to a permanent establishment.3Accordingly, such a member is to be treated as a flow-through entity.Adjustments for ultimate parent that is a flow-through entity1701Where—athe ultimate parent of a multinational group is a flow-through entity, andbon determining its adjusted profits for an accounting period (ignoring this section), it has made a profit for that period,those profits are to be further adjusted so as to exclude any amount of those profits that is qualifying.2An amount of those profits is qualifying if—ait represents an amount of those profits to which the holder of a direct ownership interest in the ultimate parent is entitled as a result of that interest, andbcondition A, B or C is met.2AFor the purposes of this section—aeach holder of a direct ownership interest in the ultimate parent is treated as entitled as a result of that interest to a proportion of the ultimate parent’s adjusted profits (that is to say, its adjusted profits ignoring this section), andbthe proportion of those adjusted profits to which each holder is treated as entitled is the proportion of those profits to which it would have been entitled had the actual amount of profits accruing to the ultimate parent been equal to its adjusted profits.3Condition A is that the holder of the ownership interest is subject to tax on the amount for a taxable period that ends within 12 months of the accounting period mentioned in subsection (1)(b) and—athe holder is subject to tax on the full amount of the ultimate parent’s profits to which it is entitled at a nominal rate equal to, or in excess of, 15%, orbit is reasonable to expect that the sum of—ithe covered taxes payable by the ultimate parent in respect of the amount of the ultimate parent’s profits to which the holder is entitled, andiitaxes payable by the holder of the ownership interest in respect of the amount of the ultimate parent’s profits to which the holder is entitled,is equal to, or more than, 15% of the amount of the profits of the ultimate parent to which the holder of the interest is entitled.4Condition B is that the holder of the ownership interest is an individual that—ais tax resident in the territory of the ultimate parent, andbdoes not hold ownership interests that together entitle the person to more than 5% of the profits and assets of the ultimate parent.5Condition C is that the holder of the ownership interest is a governmental entity, an international organisation, a non-profit organisation or a pension fund that—ais located in the territory of the ultimate parent, andbdoes not hold ownership interests that together entitle that entity to more than 5% of the profits and assets of the ultimate parent.5ASubsections (5B) and (5C) apply where—athe holder of the ownership interest is not subject to tax on an amount of the ultimate parent’s profits for a taxable period that ends within 12 months of the accounting period mentioned in subsection (1)(b), andbthe holder would be subject to tax on the amount for a taxable period ending within that 12-month period but for a difference which will be eliminated over time between—ithe time when any income, expense, gain or loss is recognised in the ultimate parent’s financial statements, andiithe time when that income, expense, gain or loss is reflected in the profits of the ultimate parent on which the holder is subject to tax (“the holder’s taxable profits”).5BCondition A has effect, for each accounting period up to and including the period in which that timing difference is eliminated, as if the income, expense, gain or loss were instead reflected in the holder’s taxable profits in the taxable period in which it is recognised in the ultimate parent’s financial statements.5CIn a period for which, under subsection (5B), the holder’s taxable profits of a particular type are treated for the purposes of condition A as greater or less than what they actually are, it is to be assumed—athat any excess is subject to tax at the same nominal rate at which the holder’s taxable profits of that type are actually subject to tax,bthat the holder pays tax on any excess at that rate,cthat any shortfall is not subject to tax, anddthat the holder pays no tax on any shortfall.6Where the adjusted profits of the ultimate parent of a multinational group for an accounting period are reduced as a result of subsection (1), its covered tax balance (see section 174) is—ain the case of a positive covered tax balance, to be reduced by the same proportion that the underlying profits were reduced, orbin the case of a negative covered tax balance, to be increased by that same proportion.7Where—athe ultimate parent of a multinational group is a flow-through entity,bon determining its adjusted profits for an accounting period (ignoring this section), it has made a loss for that period,those profits are to be further adjusted so as to exclude any disqualified amount of that loss.8An amount of that loss is disqualified if the holder of an ownership interest in the ultimate parent is allowed to use that amount in computing the holder’s taxable income.9This section applies to a member of a multinational group as it applies to the ultimate parent if the member is—aa permanent establishment through which the ultimate parent wholly or partly carries out its business, if the ultimate parent is a flow-through entity, orba permanent establishment through which the business of a flow-through entity is carried out, if —ithe entity is regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which the ultimate parent is located, andiithe ultimate parent’s interest in that entity is held directly or through one or more entities all of which are regarded as tax transparent in that territory.Ultimate parent subject to qualifying dividend regime1711Where—athe ultimate parent of a multinational group that is subject to a qualifying dividend regime distributes a qualifying dividend within 12 months of the end of its accounting period, andbon determination of its adjusted profits for the period, it has made a profit,its adjusted profits for that period are to be reduced (but not below nil) by the amount of that dividend if any one of conditions A to C is met.2Condition A is that the qualifying dividend is subject to tax in the hands of the dividend recipient for a taxable period that ends within 12 months of the end of the ultimate parent’s accounting period and—aits recipient is subject to tax on the full amount of the dividend at a nominal rate equal to, or in excess of, 15%,bit is reasonable to expect that the sum of the ... covered taxes payable by the ultimate parent in respect of the profits represented by the dividend and taxes payable by the dividend recipient in respect of the dividend income is at least the amount given by multiplying the amount of that income by 15%, orcthe ultimate parent is a supply cooperative and the recipient is an individual.3For the purposes of subsection (2) patronage dividends made by a supply cooperative are subject to tax to the extent they reduce an expense or cost that is deductible in the computation of the recipient’s taxable income.4Condition B is that the recipient of the qualifying dividend is an individual that—ais tax resident in the territory of the ultimate parent, andbdoes not hold ownership interests in the ultimate parent held directly, or through entities that are regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which the individual is tax resident, that together entitle the individual to more than 5% of the profits and assets of the ultimate parent.5Condition C is that the recipient of the qualifying dividend is located in the territory of the ultimate parent and is—aa governmental entity,ban international organisation,ca non-profit organisation, orda pension fund that is not a pension services entity.6Where the adjusted profits of the ultimate parent of a multinational group for an accounting period are reduced as a result of subsection (1)—aits covered tax balance, excluding any tax in respect of which a deduction for the dividend was allowed, is—iin the case of a positive covered tax balance, to be reduced by the same proportion that adjusted profits were reduced, oriiin the case of a negative covered tax balance, to be increased by that same proportion, andbits adjusted profits are to be further reduced by an amount equal to the amount by which its covered tax balance was adjusted under paragraph (a).7References in this section to “the recipient” of a qualifying dividend means—athe direct recipient of the qualifying dividend, orban entity or individual with ownership interests in the direct recipient if—iin the case of an entity, it is located in a territory in which the direct recipient, and every entity through which that ownership interest is held, is regarded as tax transparent, oriiin the case of an individual, they are tax resident in a territory in which the direct recipient, and every entity through which that ownership interest is held, is regarded as tax transparent.8Where there is more than one recipient of a dividend as a result of paragraph (b) of subsection (7)—athis section is to be applied separately in relation to each recipient,bwhere a recipient falls within that paragraph, references to the dividend is to so much of the dividend to which that recipient is entitled to as a result of its ownership interests in the direct recipient.But a reduction of adjusted profits may not be made more than once in respect of a dividend or a part of it (where more than one individual or entity can be regarded as a recipient of the whole dividend or a part of it).9For the purposes of this section and section 172—“qualifying dividend regime” means a tax regime designed to result in a single level of taxation on the owners of an entity through—a deduction from the income of the entity for distributions of profits to the owners,a regime where certain of the profits (“the relevant profits”) of a UK REIT or overseas REIT equivalent are not taxed provided a sufficient proportion of the relevant profits is distributed, ora regime applicable to a supply cooperative that exempts the cooperative from taxation on profits in connection with its distribution of patronage dividends;“qualifying dividend” means—in the case of a qualifying dividend regime falling within paragraph (a) of the definition of qualifying dividend regime, a dividend or other distribution made to an owner of the entity,in the case of a qualifying dividend regime falling within paragraph (b) of the definition of qualifying dividend regime, a dividend or other distribution which would count towards satisfying the condition that a sufficient proportion of the relevant profits of the UK REIT or overseas REIT equivalent have been distributed (assuming that condition had not already been met), orin the case of a qualifying dividend regime falling within paragraph (c) of the definition of qualifying dividend regime, a patronage dividend;“supply cooperative” means a cooperative that acquires goods or services and sells them to its members or patrons;“cooperative” means an entity that collectively markets or acquires goods or services on behalf of its members and that is subject to a tax regime in the territory in which it is located that is designed to ensure tax neutrality in respect of—property or services of the members sold through the cooperative, orproperty or services acquired by members through the cooperative;“patronage dividend” means a distribution by a cooperative to its members.Application of <InternalLink Ref="section-171"

the ultimate parent1721Subsection (2) applies to a distribution of a qualifying dividend by a member of a multinational group where conditions X and Y are met.2Where this subsection applies, subsections (1) and (6) of section 171 apply to the distribution made by the member as it applies to a distribution by the ultimate parent in relation to which one of conditions A to C in that section apply.3Condition X is that the member—ais located in the same territory as the ultimate parent,bthe member and the ultimate parent are subject to the same qualifying dividend regime,call of the ultimate parent’s ownership interests in the member are—idirect, oriiheld solely through other members of the group who are located in that territory and subject to the regime.4Condition Y is that—athe distribution of the qualifying dividend is made—ito the ultimate parent, oriito one of the members referred to in subsection (3)(c)(ii),bin the case of a distribution made to the ultimate parent, the whole of the qualifying dividend is distributed by the ultimate parent and one of the conditions A to C in section 171 applies to each of the distributions made from the qualifying dividend, andcin the case of a distribution made to one of the members referred to in subsection (3)(c)(ii)—ithe whole of the dividend is distributed to the ultimate parent, or to one of the members referred to in that subsection provided the whole amount is eventually distributed to the ultimate parent via one or more further distributions to members referred to in that subsection, andiithe ultimate parent distributes the whole of the dividend and one of conditions A to C in section 171 applies to each of the distributions made from the qualifying dividend.5For the purposes of this section, it is to be assumed that —awhere the ultimate parent, or a member referred to in subsection (3)(c)(ii), has received the whole of the qualifying dividend, but has also received other distributions or has other income, any subsequent distribution by the ultimate parent or member is funded first by the qualifying dividend and then by any other amounts, andbwhere the ultimate parent receives amounts from members referred to in subsection (3)(c)(ii), those amounts fund distributions that meet one of conditions A to C in section 171 before distributions that do not.Chapter 5Covered tax balanceAmount of covered taxesCovered taxes1731The following are covered taxes in relation to a member of a multinational group—ataxes on profits of that member (including, where it has direct or indirect ownership interests in another member of the group, taxes on its share of the income or profits of that other member),btaxes imposed on the member under an eligible distribution tax system,ctaxes imposed on the member as a substitute for a tax on profits that generally applies in the territory in which the tax is imposed, anddtaxes charged by reference to the capital of a company, or by reference to its capital and profits.2But none of the following are to be regarded as covered taxes—amultinational top-up tax, or any tax equivalent to multinational top-up tax;ba qualifying domestic top-up tax (see section 256);ca qualifying undertaxed profits tax (see section 257);da disqualified refundable imputation tax (see section 253);ewhere the member carries on a life assurance business, taxes in respect of which amounts were charged to the member’s policyholders.Amount of covered tax balance1741To determine the covered tax balance of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period—Step 1Determine the amount of the qualifying current tax expense accrued by the member for that period.Step 2Determine whether any amounts need to be excluded from that expense under section 175 (and adjust it accordingly).Step 3Determine whether any amounts need to be reflected in that expense under section 176 (and adjust it accordingly).Step 4If any amount of covered taxes is taken into account more than once in the qualifying current tax expense, adjust it so that the amount is only taken into account once.2For the purposes of this Part, current tax expense is to be expressed—aas a positive number where it represents an expense, andbas a negative number where it represents a credit.3If the result of subsection (1) is a negative amount that amount (expressed as a positive number) is a “negative covered tax balance”.4If the result of subsection (1) is a positive amount, or nil, that amount is a “positive covered tax balance”.5In this Part—references to the “covered tax balance” of a member of a multinational group are to a positive covered tax balance or a negative covered tax balance;“qualifying current tax expense” means the amount of the current tax expense as reflected in the member’s partially adjusted profits to the extent the expense relates to covered taxes.6For the purposes of the definition of “qualifying current tax expense” in subsection (5), the member’s “partially adjusted profits” are its underlying profits with the adjustments contained in the following sections applied—section 137A (use of substituted

partnership arrangement, andban election under section 165 (excluded equity gains and losses included) applies in relation to the member for an accounting period,qualifying flow-through tax benefits provided to the member under that arrangement in that period are to be excluded from the qualifying current tax expense of that member for that period.2“Flow-through tax benefits” means—atax credits, other than qualifying refundable tax credits and marketable transferable tax credits, andbthe value of amounts of tax deductible losses,that are made available to be used by an investor in a tax equity partnership arrangement under that arrangement (whether or not those credits or losses are used by the investor).3Section 176E (proportional amortisation method) applies for the purposes of determining the extent to which flow-through tax benefits are “qualifying” where—ain determining the underlying profits of the investor, the proportional amortisation method is used to account for the arrangement, orbthe filing member of the multinational group of which the investor is a member has elected that section 176E should apply for those purposes in relation to the member and the arrangement.4Otherwise, section 176F (subtraction method) applies for those purposes.5For the purposes of this Part, a member of a multinational group is an investor in a tax equity partnership arrangement if—athe member has made an investment in an entity that is tax transparent in the territory in which the member is located,bthe investment is treated as an equity interest for tax purposes in the territory in which the member is located,cthe investment would, under an authorised accounting standard of the territory in which the entity operates, be treated as an equity interest,dthe entity is not a member of the multinational group, andeit is reasonable to expect, at the time of making the investment, that the return on the investment would be negative in the absence of the provision of flow-through tax benefits.6But a member of a multinational group is not to be regarded as an investor in a tax equity partnership arrangement if—athe investment in the entity does not represent a genuine economic interest in that entity such that the member is exposed to the possibility of a loss on the investment, orbthe territory in which the member is located limits the use of tax equity partnership arrangements to arrangements that involve a multinational group subject to multinational top-up tax or its equivalent under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.7Flow-through tax benefits provided to a member of a multinational group in an accounting period that are not qualifying are to be reflected as a credit in the qualifying current tax expense for that period.8Flow-through tax benefits (whether qualifying or not) provided to a member of a multinational group are not to be reflected in the underlying profits of that member, even if that would be the effect of the election under section 165.9For the purposes of subsection (3)(a), the “proportional amortisation method” means a method of accounting under which—athe initial capital investment in the arrangement is amortised over the term of the investment with the amortisation expense for an accounting period based on the proportion of the flow-through tax benefits expected to be provided over the term of the arrangement that are expected to be provided in that period, andbthe difference between the flow-through tax benefits received in an accounting period and that amortisation expense for that period is reflected as tax expense.10For the purposes of this section and sections 176E and 176F, the value of an amount of tax deductible losses made available to be used by an investor is given by multiplying that amount by the tax rate that applies to the investor.11An election under subsection (3)(b)—amust specify the first accounting period for which it is to have effect, which must be the first relevant period,bmust be made no later than the date by which the information return or overseas return notification in respect of the first relevant period is due,cmust be included in an information return submitted to HMRC or a qualifying authority in respect of the first relevant period,dhas effect for the first relevant period and each subsequent accounting period, andecannot be revoked.12In subsection (11), “the first relevant period” means the later of—athe first accounting period in which the member is an investor in the tax equity partnership arrangement, andbthe first accounting period for which the Pillar Two rules apply to the member.<Addition ChangeId="key-1ca094fc27ea3edfa3e7b2e63415a07d-1716382799236"

flow-through tax benefits provided to an investor in an accounting period under a tax equity partnership arrangement are qualifying, take the following steps—Step 1Determine the amount of capital investment provided by the investor to the arrangement at its commencement.Step 2Divide the flow-through tax benefits provided under the arrangement in the accounting period by the total flow-through tax benefits expected (as at the end of the accounting period) to be provided over the whole term of the arrangement.Step 3Multiply the result of Step 1 by the result of Step 2.Step 4Add the following together—the amounts, if any, of tax credits made available to be used by the investor under the arrangement in the accounting period;the value of the amounts, if any, of tax deductible losses made available to be used by the investor under the arrangement in the accounting period;the amounts, if any, of distributions made to the investor in the accounting period;the amounts, if any, received by the investor for the sale of any part of its investment in the arrangement in the accounting period.Step 5If the result of Step 3 is equal to or greater than the result of Step 4, all of the flow-through tax benefits provided under the arrangement in the accounting period are qualifying.Otherwise proceed to Step 6.Step 6Subtract the result of Step 3 from the result of Step 4.Step 7The amount of the flow-through tax benefits provided under the arrangement in the accounting period that is qualifying is the amount given by reducing the amount of those benefits (but not below nil) by the result of Step 6.2Accordingly, the amount by which those benefits are reduced in accordance with Step 7 represents non-qualifying flow-through tax benefits which are to be reflected as a credit in the investor’s qualifying current tax expense.3Subsections (4) to (6) apply in relation to an investor, an arrangement and an accounting period if flow-through tax benefits were provided to the investor under the arrangement in at least one earlier accounting period.4Where the result of Step 3 in subsection (1) would (but for this subsection) be greater than N, this section has effect as if the result of Step 3 were N.5To find N—aidentify the amount that was the result of Step 3 in subsection (1) in each earlier accounting period in which flow-through tax benefits were provided to the investor under the arrangement,badd together all the amounts identified under paragraph (a), andcsubtract the result of paragraph (b) from the result of Step 1 in subsection (1).The result is N, unless the result is below nil, in which case N is nil.6A reference in subsection (5)(a) to the result of Step 3 in subsection (1) in an earlier accounting period, where subsection (4) had effect in

if—aqualifying flow-through tax benefits are excluded under section 176D(1) from the investor’s covered tax balance for an accounting period, andbthe investor has an excess return from the arrangement in a later accounting period (“the later period”).2For the purpose of determining the investor’s covered tax balance for the later period, the investor’s qualifying current tax expense for that period is to be adjusted (after the steps in section 174(1) have been taken) by subtracting the clawback amount.3“The clawback amount” is determined as follows—Step 1Determine the total amount of the qualifying flow-through tax benefits provided to the investor under the arrangement in accounting periods before the later period.Step 2Subtract from the result of Step 1 the total of any amounts subtracted under subsection (2) from the investor’s qualifying current tax expense for accounting periods before the later period.Step 3Compare the result of Step 2 with the amount of the investor’s excess return from the arrangement in the later period.Whichever is less is the clawback amount.4For the purposes of this section an investor has an “excess return” from an arrangement in an accounting period (“the current period”) if the total relevant return exceeds the amount of capital investment provided by the investor to the arrangement at its commencement.The amount of the excess return is the amount of the excess.5In subsection (4) “the total relevant return” means the sum of—athe amounts of the qualifying flow-through tax benefits provided to the investor under the arrangement that have been excluded under section 176D(1) in the current period or any earlier accounting period,bthe amounts of any distributions made to the investor under the arrangement in the

earlier accounting period,less the amount of any excess return that the investor had from the arrangement in any earlier accounting period.Allocation of covered taxesPermanent establishments1771Any amount of qualifying current tax expense included in the underlying profits accounts of a member of a multinational group that is in respect of profits of a permanent establishment is to be allocated to the permanent establishment (and is to be regarded as qualifying current tax expense of the permanent establishment for the purposes of applying section 175(2)(a)).2Where profits of a permanent establishment are treated as income of the main entity as a result of section 160(5), covered taxes on those profits are to be allocated to the main entity.3But the amount allocated in accordance with subsection (2) is not to exceed the amount given by multiplying the amount of those profits by the highest corporate tax rate on ordinary income in the territory where the main entity is located.4Any deferred tax asset with respect to a loss arising in the territory of a permanent establishment that is treated as an expense of the main entity as a result of section 160(2) is to be ignored in determining the covered tax balance of either the main entity or the permanent establishment.Reallocation of tax expense1781Where—aprofits have been allocated to a member of a multinational group (“O”) under section 167 or 168 (allocation of profits of hybrid and transparent entities), andbthe member from whom the profits have been allocated has an amount of qualifying current tax expense in respect of those profits,that qualifying current tax expense is to be allocated to O.1AWhere—aa member of a multinational group has an amount of qualifying current tax expense,bthat amount is in respect of profits not included in the member’s underlying profits, andcif those profits had been included in the member’s underlying profits, a corresponding amount of adjusted profits would have been allocated to another member of the group (“O”) under section 167 or 168,that qualifying current tax expense is to be allocated to O (and is to be regarded as qualifying current tax expense of O for the purposes of applying section 175(2)(a)).1BSection 175(2)(a) (exclusion of amounts relating to income or gains not included in adjusted profits) applies to an amount of qualifying current tax expense allocated in accordance with subsection (1) as if—athe reference to the member’s adjusted profits were to the adjusted profits of the member from whom the amount of qualifying current tax expense was allocated, andbprofits allocated from that member to O under section 167 or 168 were not excluded from the adjusted profits of that member.1CSubsection (1D) has effect where—aa member of a multinational group (“M”) is a flow-through entity, andbany of the following are not regarded as tax transparent in the territory in which a member of the group (“R”), which is a reference entity in relation to M (within the meaning of section 168(2A)), is located—iM;iiany member of the group through which R’s ownership interest in M is held.1DIf—aR, or any member of the group (“X”) which has an ownership interest in R, has an amount of qualifying current tax expense,bthat amount is in respect of profits not included in R’s, or as the case may be X’s, underlying profits, andchad those profits had been included in R’s, or as the case may be X’s, underlying profits a corresponding amount of profits would have been allocated to M under section 167 (ignoring for this purpose subsection (1)(a) of that section) or 168,that qualifying current tax expense is to be allocated to M (and is to be regarded as qualifying current tax expense of M for the purposes of section 175(2)(a)).2But the amount of qualifying current tax expense in respect of mobile income allocated to O (under subsections (1) and (1A)) or to M (under subsection (1D)) is not to exceed the amount given by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the effective tax rate of the members of the multinational group in the territory of O for the accounting period to which the qualifying current tax expense relates, ignoring that expense.Step 2Subtract the result of Step 1 from 15%.Step 3Multiply the result of Step 2 by the amount of mobile income to which the qualifying tax expense relates.3For the purposes of this section and section 179, “mobile income” means income of a type mentioned in subsection (4) in respect of which a member of a multinational group is subject to tax—aunder a controlled foreign company tax regime (see section 179(4)), orbas a result of an ownership interest in an entity regarded as tax transparent in the territory the member is located in but not so regarded in the territory in which that entity is located.4Those types of income are—adividends or dividend equivalents,binterest or interest equivalent,crent,da royalty,ean annuity, orfnet gains from property of a type that produces income described in paragraphs (a) to (e).5Where an amount of qualifying current tax expense would have been allocated to O, but the amount allocated is limited as a result of subsection (2) the amount not allocated remains with the member from whom it otherwise would have been allocated.6But if an amount would, ignoring this subsection, remain with the member from whom it would have otherwise been allocated, and that amount relates to income or gains that are not included in the adjusted profits of O, that amount is to be excluded from the covered tax balance of both the member and O.Controlled foreign company tax regimes1791Where—aa member of a multinational group (“C”) is subject to a controlled foreign company tax regime, andbC has an ownership interest in another member of the group (“F”) that is a CFC entity in relation to C,any amount of qualifying current tax expense included in C’s underlying profits accounts with respect to tax on C’s share of the profits of F are to be allocated to F (to the extent it has not already been allocated as a result of another provision of this Part).1AQualifying current tax expense allocated to F is to be regarded as qualifying current tax expense of F for the purposes of applying section 175(2)(a).2But the amount of qualifying current tax expense in respect of mobile income allocated to F is not to exceed the amount given by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the effective tax rate of the members of the multinational group in the territory of F for the accounting period to which the qualifying current tax expense relates, ignoring that expense.Step 2Subtract the result of Step 1 from 15%.Step 3Multiply the result of Step 2 by the amount of mobile income to which the qualifying current tax expense relates.3Subsection (1) does not apply to a controlled foreign company tax regime that is a blended CFC regime in accounting periods commencing on or before 31 December 2025 that end on or before 30 June 2027.3AWhere an amount of qualifying current tax expense would have been allocated to F but the amount allocated is limited as a result of subsection (2), the amount not allocated remains with C.3BBut if an amount would, ignoring this subsection, remain with C and that amount relates to income or gains that are not included in the adjusted profits of F, that amount is to be excluded from the covered tax balance of both C and F.4In this Part—“controlled foreign company tax regime” means a set of tax rules (other than multinational top-up tax or any tax equivalent to multinational top-up tax) under which an entity with an ownership interest in another entity located in a different territory (“the controlled foreign company”) is subject to current taxation on its share of part or all of the income earned by the controlled foreign company, irrespective of whether that income is distributed currently to it; “CFC entity”, in relation to a member of a multinational group who is subject to a controlled foreign company tax regime, means—a controlled foreign company in relation to that member,a permanent establishment of such a controlled foreign company, oran entity whose profits are treated, for the purposes of the regime, as the profits of such a controlled foreign company; “blended CFC regime” means a controlled foreign company tax regime—under which the income, losses and creditable taxes of all of the controlled foreign companies of the entity with ownership interests in them are aggregated for the purposes of calculating the entity’s tax liability under the regime,that does not take into account the income of the entity, or members of a consolidated group of which the entity is a member, that arises in the location of the entity, apart from to the extent the entity may use its losses arising in that location to reduce its liability under the regime, andwhich operates by reference to a rate which reflects a threshold for low taxation.Blended CFC regimes1801This section applies to accounting periods commencing on or before 31 December 2025 that end on or before 30 June 2027.2Subsection (3) applies where—aa member of a multinational group (“C”) is subject to a blended CFC regime in an accounting period (“the relevant period”),bC has an ownership interest in an entity (“F”) that is a ... CFC entity in relation to C, andcthe blended CFC allocation key of F is greater than nil.3The appropriate proportion of C’s current tax expense so far as relating to that regime (after all deductions and use of any losses) is—awhere F is a member of the same multinational group as C, to be allocated to F, orbwhere F is not a member of that group, to be excluded from the covered tax balance of C.4The appropriate proportion is the proportion given by dividing the blended CFC allocation key for F for the relevant period by the sum of all blended CFC allocation keys for that period of ... CFC entities in which C has an ownership interest.5The blended CFC allocation key for the relevant period of a ... CFC entity that C has an ownership interest in is the amount given by multiplying—athe attributable income of C in relation to the CFC entity, bybthe percentage given by subtracting the applicable effective tax rate of the ... CFC entity for the relevant period from the applicable CFC rate for that period.6But where—athe result of subsection (5)(b) in relation to a ... CFC entity is less than nil, orbthe applicable effective tax rate of that entity is greater than 15%,the blended CFC allocation key for that entity is to be treated as nil.7The attributable income of C in relation to a CFC entity in which C has an ownership interest means C’s share of the income of the entity for the relevant period determined as it would be determined for the purposes of the blended CFC regime.8The applicable effective tax rate of a ... CFC entity for the relevant period is—awhere it is located in a territory in which a single effective tax rate of all members of the multinational group of which C is a member is calculated for that period, that effective tax rate as it would be calculated if—iany tax arising under a blended CFC regime were ignored, andiiwhere the blended CFC regime permits foreign tax credit in respect of a qualifying domestic top-up tax on the same basis it would be permitted for covered taxes, that qualifying domestic top-up tax were a covered tax, oraawhere—ithe CFC entity is a member of the multinational group,iidifferent effective tax rates are calculated for the period for different subsets of (one or more) members of the multinational group located in the territory where the CFC entity is located (“local blending subsets”), andiiithe CFC entity is a member of a local blending subset,the effective tax rate of the local blending subset of which the CFC entity is a member, calculated on the assumptions set out in paragraph (a)(i) and (ii) (“the relevant assumptions”);abwhere—ithe CFC entity is not a member of the multinational group, or is a member of the multinational group but not a member of any local blending subset, andiidifferent effective tax rates are calculated for the period for different local blending subsets,the effective tax rate, calculated on the relevant assumptions, of the local blending subset whose members have collectively the highest attributable income of C in relation to the CFC entity (as mentioned in subsection (5)(a));bwhere no applicable effective tax rate can be determined under paragraphs (a) to (ab) the effective tax rate that would be calculated for the relevant period for the ... CFC entities located in that territory in which C has an ownership interest if—ithose entities were members of a multinational group whose ultimate parent’s accounting period is the same as the relevant period,iithe result of Step 2 in section 132(1) for those entities were the aggregate of their profits (and losses) before tax as shown in their financial accounts,iiathe combined covered tax balance for those entities were the aggregate of the taxes shown in their financial accounts,iiiany tax arising under a blended CFC regime were ignored, andivwhere the blended CFC regime permits foreign tax credit in respect of a qualifying domestic top-up tax on the same basis it would be permitted for covered taxes, that qualifying domestic top-up tax were a covered tax.But this is subject to section 180A.9The applicable CFC rate for the relevant period means the rate which reflects the threshold for low taxation by reference to which the blended CFC regime is generally operated, taking into account any credit for foreign taxes available under the regime.10. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<Addition

period is the deferred tax expense relating to covered taxes reflected in the member’s partially adjusted profits, but with that deferred tax expense adjusted as follows.2The deferred tax expense is to be adjusted to exclude the following—aany amount of that expense that reflects items not reflected in the member’s adjusted profits (other than items that are not reflected solely because of an election under section 164 (intra-group transactions));bany amount of that expense that reflects disallowed accruals or unclaimed accruals;cthe impact of a valuation adjustment or accounting recognition adjustment with respect to a deferred tax asset;dany amount of that expense arising from a re-measurement with respect to a change in the rate of tax;eany amount of that expense that reflects the generation or use of tax credits (but see section 183 which permits the inclusion of qualifying foreign tax credits).2AThe deferred tax expense is to be adjusted to include (so far as it would not already) any amount of deferred tax expense in respect of covered taxes within section 176(2)(g) or (h) (amounts reflected in other comprehensive income etc).3Where a deferred tax liability is reversed in an accounting period, and that deferred tax liability was treated as an unclaimed accrual in a previous accounting period, the deferred tax expense is to be increased by the amount of the deferred tax liability that has reversed.4Where a deferred tax asset is not reflected in the deferred tax expense only as a result of the recognition criteria not being met, that deferred tax asset is to be reflected in the total deferred tax adjustment amount.5Where the amount of a deferred tax asset is adjusted as a result of section 186, an amount equal to that adjustment is to be reflected in the total deferred tax adjustment amount.6Where an amount of recaptured deferred tax liability (see section 184) that was determined for a previous accounting period is reversed during the accounting period, that amount is to be reflected in the total deferred tax adjustment amount.7Where the deferred tax expense relates to covered taxes where the rate is greater than 15%, the amount of that expense (after adjustment under subsections (2) to (6)) is to be adjusted so that it reflects the amount it would have been had the rate been 15%.8For the purposes of this section—“disallowed accrual” means—any movement in deferred tax expense reflected in the member’s underlying profits which relates to an uncertain tax position, orany movement in deferred tax expense reflected in those profits which relates to distributions from another member of that group; “partially adjusted profits”, in relation to a member of a multinational group, means its underlying profits with the adjustments contained in the following sections applied—section 137A (use of substituted values);section 139 (profits adjusted to be profits before consolidation adjustments to eliminate intragroup transactions);section 140 (profits adjusted to be profits before certain purchase accounting adjustments). “unclaimed accrual” means an increase in a deferred tax liability reflected in the member’s underlying profits for an accounting period—that is not expected to be reversed before the end of the fifth accounting period after that period, andin respect of which the filing member has elected not to include in the total deferred tax adjustment amount for that period.Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election not to include an unclaimed accrual in the total deferred tax adjustment amount.Qualifying foreign tax credits (substitute loss carry forward assets)1831A qualifying foreign tax credit of a member of a multinational group is to be included in the member’s total deferred tax adjustment amount.2A foreign tax credit is qualifying if—athe territory in which the member is located—irequires that domestic losses are offset against relevant foreign income before foreign tax credits can be applied against tax on foreign income, andiipermits foreign tax credits to be used to offset tax on domestic profits to the extent to which domestic losses have been offset against relevant foreign income in a previous taxable period,bthe member has used a domestic loss to offset (in whole or in part) relevant foreign income, andcthe foreign tax credit is in respect of tax imposed by another territory on that foreign income.3The amount that may be included in the total deferred tax adjustment amount of the member is the lesser of—athe foreign tax paid, andbthe amount of domestic loss used to offset the relevant foreign income, multiplied by the tax rate in the territory in which the member is located.4Section 182(7) (adjustment where rate of tax exceeds 15%) applies to a qualifying foreign tax credit included in the member’s total deferred tax adjustment amount as it applies to the member’s deferred tax expense.5In this section and in section 183A “relevant foreign income”, in relation to a member of a multinational group, means— aincome of a controlled foreign company of the member on which the member is taxed as a result of a controlled foreign company tax regime , andbother qualifying income.6For the purposes of subsection (5) “other qualifying income means”—aincome identified as such for the purposes of this section in regulations made under section 262(1)(a), orbwhere no income is identified as other qualifying income in any such regulations, such income as is necessary to give effect to the substitute loss carry-forward guidance.7The “substitute loss carry-forward guidance” means Chapter 4.1 of Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – Administrative Guidance on the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two), June 2024 published by the OECD on 17 June 2024.<Addition ChangeId="key-2eeb12380ce649cc265681cb17586b7a-1716382955748" CommentaryRef="key-2eeb12380ce649cc265681cb17586b7a">Alternative to section 183 where carry forward of credits not permitted</Addition>183A1A special foreign tax asset of a member of a multinational group is to be used to increase its covered tax balance in accordance with this section.2Subsection (3) applies where—athe territory in which a member of a multinational group is located requires that domestic losses are offset against relevant foreign income before foreign tax credits can be applied against tax on foreign income,bthe territory limits the extent to which foreign tax credits can be applied against tax in a taxable period,cthe territory allows foreign tax credits to be used to a greater extent where a domestic loss has been used to offset (in whole or in part) relevant foreign income in a prior period, anddthe member has used a domestic loss to offset (in whole or in part) relevant foreign income.3Where this subsection applies, the member has a special foreign tax asset arising in the accounting period in which the loss was used.4The amount of that special foreign tax asset is the amount of the domestic loss used to offset relevant foreign income multiplied by the lesser of—athe nominal rate of tax in the member’s territory for the taxable period in which it was used, andb15%.5Where a member of a multinational group has a special foreign tax asset that arose in any previous accounting period, the member is to use that amount to increase its covered tax balance.6The amount of the special foreign tax asset that is to be used in an accounting period is the lesser of—athe amount of the asset, andbso much of the amount of foreign tax credits credited against tax in the taxable period corresponding to that accounting period as is capable of being credited only as a result of the prior use of the domestic loss.Any remainder continues to be a special foreign tax asset (and is available for use in subsequent account periods where subsection (5) applies).Recaptured deferred tax liabilities1841A member of a multinational group has a recaptured deferred tax liability if it has a deferred tax liability, other than an excluded liability, taken into account in its total deferred tax adjustment amount for an accounting period (“the initial period”) that is not reversed before the end of the fifth accounting period after the initial period.2Where a member of a multinational group has a recaptured deferred tax liability—athe amount included in the total deferred tax adjustment amount for the initial period in relation to that recaptured deferred tax liability is to be excluded from its covered tax balance for that period, andbthe following are to be accordingly recalculated for the initial period—ithe effective tax rate for the member and the other members of that group located in the same territory, andiithe top-up amounts that those members would have.3Section 206 applies to recalculations under subsection (2).4For the purposes of subsection (1) “excluded liability” means a tax expense attributable to changes in associated deferred tax liabilities in respect of—acost recovery allowances on tangible assets,bthe cost of a licence or similar arrangement from the government for the use of immovable property or exploitation of natural resources that entails significant investment in tangible assets,cresearch and development expenses,dde-commissioning and remediation expenses,efair value accounting on unrealised net gains,fforeign currency exchange net gains,ginsurance reserves and insurance policy deferred acquisition costs,hgains from the sale of tangible property located in the same territory as the member that are reinvested in tangible property in the same territory, oriadditional amounts accrued as a result of accounting principle changes with respect to things falling within any of paragraphs (a) to (h).5This section is to be applied in accordance with, and is subject to, the DTL recapture methodology.6The DTL recapture methodology means provisions about the treatment of deferred tax liabilities—aset out in regulations made under section 262(1)(a) and identified in those regulations as the DTL recapture methodology, orbwhere no such provisions are identified in any such regulations, set out in the DTL recapture guidance.7The “DTL recapture guidance” means the guidance in Chapter 1 of Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – Administrative Guidance on the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two), June 2024 published by the OECD on 17 June 2024.8Where subsection (6)(b) applies, the DTL recapture guidance has effect as DTL recapture methodology with all necessary modifications for that purpose (for example, reference to a Five-Year Election is to be read as an election to which paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies).9This Chapter is to have effect with such modifications as are necessary to give effect to the DTL recapture methodology.Inclusion of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities on entry into regime1851This section applies to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of a member of a multinational group as at the beginning of the first accounting period for which Pillar Two rules apply to it that are reflected in its underlying profits accounts (and the adjustments set out in this section apply instead of those set out in section 182(2) to (7)).2Each such asset and liability is to be taken into account in determining the member’s deferred tax expense—aif the nominal tax rate in relation to the asset or liability—iis less than 15% and subsection (3) does not apply, at its nominal tax rate,iiis 15% or more, as if the rate of tax to which the asset or liability related was 15%,bin the case of a deferred tax asset, excluding the impact of a valuation adjustment or accounting recognition adjustment with respect to it.3But where—athe nominal tax rate in relation to the asset is less than 15%, andbthe member can demonstrate that a deferred tax asset is attributable to the fact of the member having a loss which would have been taken account of in determining adjusted profits had those profits been determined under this Part,that asset is to be taken into account in determining the member’s deferred tax expense as if the rate of tax to which the asset related was 15%.4Where a deferred tax asset relates to a tax credit neither subsection (2)(a) nor (3) applies.5If the nominal tax rate that applies on the reversal of such a tax asset exceeds 15%, the amount of the reversal is to be treated as if it were the amount given by multiplying—athe amount given by dividing—ithe amount of the deferred tax expense in the underlying profits accounts in respect of that deferred tax asset, byiithe nominal tax rate that applied on the reversal, byb15%.6Subsection (7) applies to a deferred tax asset of a member of a ... multinational group that arises—abefore the commencement of the first accounting period for which Pillar Two rules apply to the member and as a result of a transaction carried out after 30 November 2021, andbin relation to an item that either—iis included in the member’s taxable income but which would not be included in the member’s adjusted profits (had those profits been determined under this Part), oriiis not included in the member’s taxable income but which would be included in the member’s adjusted profits (had those profits been determined under this Part).7A deferred tax asset to which this subsection applies is to be ignored in determining the member’s deferred tax expense.7ASubsection (7D) applies to a deferred tax asset of a member of a multinational group that arises before the commencement of the first accounting period for which Pillar Two rules apply to the member and as a result of the occurrence of either of the following after 30 November 2021—athe making available of a tax credit, or other tax relief, by virtue of the exercise of a discretion in relation to a member of the group by a national, regional or local government or by a governmental entity;bthe making (or modifying) of an election or of another choice by a member of the group where the effect of the election or choice is to change the tax treatment of an earlier transaction retrospectively.7BSubsection (7D) also applies to a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability of a member of a multinational group that arises—aafter 30 November 2021 and before the commencement of the first accounting period for which Pillar Two rules apply to the member,bbecause of a difference between the value (or base cost) of an asset or liability for the purposes of a corporate income tax and its value for accounting purposes, andcin circumstances where the corporate income tax mentioned in paragraph (b) was introduced on or after 1 December 2021 in a territory that did not previously have a corporate income tax.7CSubsection (7D) also applies to a deferred tax asset of a member of a multinational group that arises before the commencement of the first accounting period for which Pillar Two rules apply to the member if—awhere the member is located in a territory which did not have a corporate income tax before 1 December 2021 and in which one is introduced on or after that date, the deferred tax asset is attributable to a loss occurring before the fifth accounting period before the accounting period in which that corporate income tax came into force, orbthe deferred tax asset arises in relation to non-economic expenses or losses (within the meaning of the Pillar Two rules) incurred after 30 November 2021.7DA deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability to which this subsection applies is to be ignored in determining the member’s deferred tax expense.8Subsection (9) applies to a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability of a member of a ... multinational group that arises under a blended CFC regime.9A deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability to which this subsection applies is to be ignored in determining the member’s deferred tax expense.Deferred tax assets recorded at less than minimum rate1861This section applies where the value of a deferred tax asset of a member of a multinational group—ais calculated on the basis of a tax rate of less than 15%, andbis attributable to an accounting period in which the member’s adjusted profits were a loss.2But this section only applies in relation to a deferred tax asset of the member falling within subsection (1) if the filing member accounts for all such assets of the member in accordance with this section in an information return submitted to HMRC or a qualifying authority (see paragraph 10(5) of Schedule 14).3Subsection (4) applies where the loss for the accounting period upon which the value of that asset was calculated does not exceed the loss established on determining the member’s adjusted profits for that period.4Where this subsection applies, the asset is to be treated as having the value it would have if the tax rate upon which it was calculated were 15%.5Subsection (6) applies where the loss for the accounting period upon which the value of that asset was calculated exceeds the loss established on determining the member’s adjusted profits for that period.6The relevant part of the asset is to be treated as having the value of a deferred tax asset generated on the loss established on determining the member’s adjusted profits on the basis of a tax rate of 15%.7The “relevant part” of the asset means so much of the asset derived from an amount of loss that does not exceed the loss established on determining the member’s adjusted profits.8. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Election for losses to be treated as special loss deferred tax assets1871The filing member of a multinational group may elect that this section applies to all of the standard members of the group in a particular territory (“the relevant territory”).2An election under subsection (1)—amust be made having effect for the first accounting period in which the Pillar Two rules apply to any standard member in the relevant territory,bmay not otherwise be made (and accordingly if the election is revoked it cannot be made again), andcmay not be made for a territory that has an eligible distribution tax system.3Where this section applies to the standard members of a multinational group for an accounting period—anone of those members has a total deferred tax adjustment amount for that period, andbif the result of Step 2 in section 132(1) in relation to those members is nil or less (those members between them have made a loss), the amount of that result (expressed as a positive number) multiplied by 15% is a special loss deferred tax asset of those members.4Subsection (5) applies where—athis section applies in relation to the standard members of a multinational group in a territory for an accounting period,bthe result of Step 2 in section 132(1) in relation to those members is greater than nil, andcthose members have one or more special loss deferred tax assets.5Where this subsection applies, the standard members of the group that have made a profit in that accounting period are to use those assets in that period to increase their covered tax balances in accordance with subsections (6) and (7).6The amount of the special loss deferred tax assets that is to be used is the lesser of—athe amount of the assets, andbthe result of Step 2 in section 132(1) multiplied by 15%.Any remainder continues to be a special loss deferred tax asset of the relevant members of the group (and is available for use in subsequent accounting periods in which the election has effect).7Each of the standard members that made a profit in that period is to use the proportion of the amount to be used in accordance with subsection (6) that is equal to the proportion the adjusted profits of the member bears to the total adjusted profits of all of the standard members that made a profit.Further provision about elections under <InternalLink Ref="section-187" IdURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/2023/30/section/187" DocumentURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/30/section/187">section 187</InternalLink>1881Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under section 187.2But that paragraph has effect for the purposes of such an election as if—asub-paragraph (4) were omitted (so that there is no restriction on revoking the election), andbsub-paragraph (5) were omitted (as an election under this section cannot be made again once revoked).Eligible distribution tax systems: deemed taxesDeemed distribution tax election1891The filing member of a multinational group may make an election that section 190 (deemed distribution tax) applies to all of the standard members of the group in a particular territory for an accounting period.2An election under subsection (1) may only be made in relation to a territory if that territory has an eligible distribution tax system.3In this Part “eligible distribution tax system” means a system of tax on company profits that—ais generally only payable when a company distributes, or is deemed to distribute, those profits to its members, or when it incurs certain non-business expenses,bis charged at a rate of at least 15%, andcwas in force on or before 1 July 2021.4Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this section.Deemed distribution tax amount1901Where this section applies to the standard members of a multinational group in a territory for an accounting period, those members have a deemed distribution tax amount for that period.2The deemed distribution tax amount is the lesser of—athe amount that, when added to the result of Step 4 in section 132(1), would result in the effective tax rate of those members for that period being 15%, andbthe amount of tax that would have been due in that territory if all of those members had distributed all of their profits of that period.3The combined covered tax balance of those members for that period, as determined under Step 4 in section 132(1), is to be increased by adding that deemed distribution tax amount.4In the following accounting period, those members have a “recapture amount” in respect of the previous accounting period that is (initially) equal to the deemed distribution tax amount for that period.5Those members continue to have a recapture amount in respect of an accounting period until the earlier of—athe end of the fourth accounting period after the period in which the recapture amount first arose, andbthe time when the recapture amount has reduced to nil.6Section 191 sets out how recapture amounts reduce.7If the recapture amount in respect of an accounting period has not reduced to nil by the end of the fourth accounting period after that period the following are to be recalculated for the period in which the recapture amount arose, with the amount of the recapture amount remaining subtracted from the combined covered tax balance (after the addition of the deemed distribution tax amount)—athe effective tax rate for those members, andbthe top-up amounts that those members would have following that recalculation.Reduction of recapture amount1911Where standard members of a multinational group in a territory have a recapture amount in an accounting period (“the relevant period”) in respect of a previous accounting period that amount is to be reduced in accordance with subsections (3) to (5).2If those members have more than one recapture amount in the relevant period, those reductions are to be applied first to the recapture amount in respect of the earliest accounting period, then the next earliest and so on.3First, if any of the members have accrued qualifying taxes in the relevant period reduce the recapture amount (but not below nil) by the amount of qualifying taxes accrued by the members in that period that is available.4Then, if the members have a collective loss for the relevant period (and if the recapture amount has not been reduced to nil) reduce the recapture amount (but not below nil) by the amount of that loss that is available multiplied by 15%.5Finally, if the members have a qualifying carried forward loss (and if the recapture amount has not been reduced to nil) reduce the recapture amount (but not below nil) by the amount of the qualifying carried forward loss that is available.6An amount is “available” to the extent it has not been used to reduce another recapture amount (in the case of a qualifying carried forward loss, whether in that period or a previous period).7For the purposes of subsections (3) to (6)—“qualifying taxes” means taxes accrued in the relevant period on actual or deemed distributions of profits;members of the group have a “collective loss” for an accounting period if the result of Step 2 in section 132(1) is less than nil, and the amount of that loss is that result expressed as a positive number,members of the group have a “qualifying carried forward loss” if —they had a collective loss in a period, andafter making reductions in accordance with subsections (2) to (5) an amount of that collective loss remains available,and the amount of that qualifying carried forward loss is the amount of the collective loss that remained available.8Any amount of qualifying taxes accrued by a member of the group that is used to reduce a recapture amount is excluded from that member’s covered tax balance.Recalculation where member leaves the group1921This section applies where—ain an accounting period (“the relevant period”), a standard member of a multinational group (“D”) in a territory (“the relevant territory”)—ileaves the group,iitransfers all, or substantially all, of its assets to an entity who is not a member of the group or to an individual, oriiitransfers all, or substantially all, of its assets to a member of the group that is not located in the relevant territory, andbthe standard members (including D) of the group in the relevant territory (“the relevant members”) had, in previous accounting periods, one or more recapture amounts (each a “recapture period”).2Where this section applies, the following are to be recalculated for each recapture period—athe effective tax rate for the relevant members, andbthe top-up amounts that those members would have in accordance with that recalculation.3In recalculating that rate and those amounts for each of those periods, deduct the amount of each recapture amount that was outstanding in the period (after any reduction under section 191 in that period) from the combined covered tax balance of those members for the period.4The relevant members have a special additional top-up tax amount under this section for the relevant period that is equal to the sum of the amounts given by—asubtracting the amount of top-up amounts those members had for each recapture period from the sum of the top-up amounts those members would have for that period as recalculated under subsection (2)(b), andbmultiplying the result of paragraph (a) for each recapture period by the disposition recapture ratio for that period.5Subject to subsections (6) and (7), the disposition recapture ratio for an accounting period is the amount given by dividing—athe adjusted profits of D in that period, bybthe result of Step 2 in section 132(1) for the relevant members for that period.6If either of the amounts described in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (5) is nil or less, the disposition recapture ratio is nil.7If (ignoring this subsection) the disposition recapture ratio would be greater than 1, it is to be treated as 1.8Sections 206 and 207 include further provision about special additional top-up tax amounts under this section.9Each of the amounts mentioned in subsection (10) for each affected period is to be treated, for the purposes of this Part, as the amount given by multiplying—athat amount, bybthe amount given by subtracting the disposition recapture ratio for that period from 1.10Those amounts are—athe result of Step 2 in section 132(1) for those members for that period;bthe combined covered tax balance of the standard members of the group in the relevant territory;cany recapture amount those members have in that affected period;dthe substance based income exclusion for that period for that territory.11An accounting period is an affected period if it is—aa recapture period, orbthe relevant period and the standard members of the group in the territory have one or more recapture amounts in that period.Chapter 6Calculation of top-up amountsCalculation of top-up amounts193Take the following steps to determine if a standard member of a multinational group (“the member in question”) has a top-up amount for an accounting period and, if it does, the extent of it—Step 1Determine, under section 194, the total top-up amount for the accounting period for the territory the member in question is located in.Step 2If the total top-up amount for that territory is nil, the member in question does not have a top-up amount. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3.Step 3Determine the adjusted profits of the member in question for the period (in accordance with Chapter 4).Step 4If the member has not made a profit for the period (as determined by reference to its adjusted profits), the member in question does not have a top-up amount. Otherwise, proceed to Step 5.Step 5If there are no other standard members of the multinational group located in the same territory as the member in question, the member’s top-up amount is equal to the total top-up amount for that territory for the period. Otherwise, proceed to Step 6.Step 6Determine (in accordance with Chapter 4) the adjusted profits for the period of all of the other standard members of the group that are located in same territory as the member in question.Step 7Add together the adjusted profits of all standard members of the group in that territory that have profits (including those of the member in question).Step 8Divide the member in question’s adjusted profits by the result of Step 7.Step 9The member’s top-up amount is the result of multiplying the total top-up amount for the territory by the result of Step 8.Total top-up amount for a territory1941Take the following steps to determine the total top-up amount for an accounting period for a territory—Step 1Subtract the effective tax rate of the standard members of the group in that territory for that period (as determined in accordance with section 132) from 15%.Step 2If the result of Step 1 is nil or less, the total top-up amount for that territory is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3.Step 3Subtract the sum of the losses of those members of the group that made a loss for the period (as determined by reference to their adjusted profits) from the sum of the profits of those members of the group that made a profit in that period (as determined by reference to their adjusted profits).Step 4Subtract the substance based income exclusion for that period for that territory (if any) from the result of Step 3.Step 5If the result of Step 4 is nil or less, the total top-up amount for that territory is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 6.Step 6Multiply the result of Step 1 (which will be a percentage) by the result of Step 4.2But where those members have a QDT credit for that territory for the accounting period, the total top-up amount is to be reduced in accordance with subsections (4) to (7).3For the purposes of this Part, standard members of a multinational group in a territory have a “QDT credit” for a territory for an accounting period if qualifying domestic top-up tax (see sections 256 and 256A) is accrued by one or more of those members in that territory for that period.4Where—athe standard members do not have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe result of Step 6 in subsection (1) is equal to or greater than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,the total top-up amount is to be reduced by the sum of those amounts.5Where—athe standard members do not have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe result of Step 6 in subsection (1) is less than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in the period,the total top-up amount is to be reduced to nil.6Where—athe standard members have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe sum of the result of Step 6 in subsection (1) and that collective additional amount is less than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in the period,the total top-up amount is to be reduced to nil.7Where—athe standard members have a collective additional amount under section 206, andbthe sum of the result of Step 6 in subsection (1) and that collective additional amount is equal to or greater than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in the period,the total top-up amount is to be reduced by the amount given by multiplying the sum of those amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax by the amount given by dividing the result of Step 6 in subsection (1) by the sum of the result of that step and that collective additional amount.Substance based income exclusion1951The substance based income exclusion for a period for a territory is calculated by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the payroll carve-out amount for that period for each standard member of the group in that territory.Step 2Determine the tangible asset carve-out amount for that period for each standard member of the group in that territory.Step 3Add together the amounts determined at steps 1 and 2.2.

costs incurred by the member in the period.5The tangible asset carve-out amount for a member is 5% of the eligible tangible asset amount of the member in the period.6Section 196 sets out how to calculate the eligible payroll costs of a member.7Section 197 sets out how to calculate the eligible tangible asset amount of a member.7ASection 197A sets out the treatment of operating leases.8Section 198 supplements the rules in sections 196 and 197 in relation to a member that is a permanent establishment.9Section 198ZA supplements the rules in sections 196 and 197 in relation to a member that is a flow-through entity.Eligible payroll costs1961The eligible payroll costs of a member for a period are all costs incurred by the member in the period in connection with the employment of an employee of that member, provided that—athe employee is an individual,b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .c at least some of the work is carried out in the territory in which the member is located, ...dthe costs are not excluded costs , andethe filing member chooses to include those costs in calculating the substance based income exclusion for the period.1ABut where—aan employee carries out the work in the period both in the territory in which the member is located and outside that territory, andbthe proportion of the time spent carrying out the work in that territory in the period is 50% or less,the payroll costs in respect of the employee are to be multiplied by that proportion to determine how much of those costs are eligible payroll costs.2The costs may include in particular—asalaries, wages and other expenditures that provide a direct and personal benefit to the employee,bpayroll and other employment taxes payable by the member, andcsocial security contributions payable by the member.3 In this section “employee” means—aa person regarded as an employee under the law of the territory in which the member is located, andbany other person while they are participating in the ordinary operating activities of the member (including on a part-time basis),and “employment” is to be construed accordingly.4“Excluded costs” are the following—acosts taken into account in determining the underlying profits of a permanent establishment of the member;bcosts taken into account in a carrying value used to calculate the eligible tangible asset amount (see section 197);ccosts that are core international shipping costs (see section 157);dcosts that are ancillary international shipping costs (see section 158), subject to subsections (5) and (6).5Where the member has an ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment of more than nil for the period, only the eligible proportion of costs that are ancillary international shipping costs are excluded costs.6The eligible proportion is the proportion given by dividing—athe member’s ancillary international shipping profits for the period, bybthe amount given by subtracting the member’s ancillary international shipping costs from the member’s ancillary international shipping revenue for the period.7A member of a multinational group that is a flow-through entity that is a responsible member of the group but which is not the ultimate parent is to be regarded as having nil eligible payroll costs (subject to the application of section 198ZA).Eligible tangible asset amount1971To determine the eligible tangible asset amount of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period—aadd together—ithe sum of the recorded carrying values of each eligible tangible asset held by the member at the start of the period, andiithe sum of the recorded carrying values of each eligible tangible asset held by the member at the end of the period,

recorded from time to time and the value of an asset when it was acquired by the member, where that difference is solely attributable to a revaluation.5An asset is an eligible tangible asset if ...—a it is of a type referred to in subsection (6), ...b it is not an excluded asset and,cthe filing member chooses to include the asset in calculating the substance based income exclusion for the period.6The types of asset are—aproperty, plant or equipment located in the same territory as the member;bnatural resources located in that territory;ca right to use a tangible asset located in that territory under a lease;da license or similar right to use a tangible asset located in that territory, provided that—ithe right is granted by a government of that territory, andiiit is expected in granting the right that the member will, in using that right, incur significant expenditure in enhancing the value of tangible assets in that territory (whether or not those assets are subject to the right).6AWhere an asset falling within paragraph (a), (c) or (d) of subsection (6) is only located in the same territory as the member for part of the period—ait is to be regarded for the purposes of this section as located in that territory for the whole period, butbwhere the proportion of the period in which the asset (or in the case of a right, the asset to which the right relates) is located in the territory is 50% or less, the carrying values for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) and (b) are to be multiplied by that proportion.7An asset is an excluded asset if it is of one of the following types—aproperty (including land or buildings) that is held for sale, lease or investment (whether such sale, lease or investment is to be carried out in the period or not);ban asset used in the course of core international shipping activity (see section 157);can asset used in the course of ancillary international shipping activity (see section 158), subject to subsections (8) and (9).7AWhere part of an asset comprising property is held by a member of a multinational group for lease, but another part of that property is retained for use by the member—athe parts are to be treated as separate assets for the purposes of this section and section 197A, andbthe carrying value of the asset is to be allocated between the separate parts on a just and reasonable basis.8Where the member has an ancillary international shipping profit cap adjustment of more than nil for the period, only the eligible proportion of an asset used in the course of ancillary international shipping activity is to be treated as an excluded asset.9The eligible proportion is the proportion given by dividing—athe member’s ancillary international shipping profits for the period, bybthe amount given by subtracting the member’s ancillary international shipping costs from the member’s ancillary international shipping revenue for the period.10A member of a multinational group that is a flow-through entity that is a responsible member of the group but which is not the ultimate parent is to be regarded as having an eligible tangible asset amount of nil (subject to the application of section 198ZB).<Addition ChangeId="key-6a256892fe44aea35d3f09a668c75c13-1716383285819" CommentaryRef="key-6a256892fe44aea35d3f09a668c75c13">Operating leases</Addition>197A1Subsection (2) applies

only if—athe average revenue for an accounting period of the relevant members of the group in that territory is less than 10 million euros, andbthe average of the adjusted profits of those members for

the group.3The average revenue for an accounting period of the relevant members of a multinational group in a territory is determined by adding together all of the revenue of those members in each qualifying accounting period, and dividing the result by the number of qualifying accounting periods.4The average of the sum of the adjusted profits of the relevant members of a multinational group in a territory is determined by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the sum of the adjusted profits of each of those members for each qualifying accounting period.Step 2Add together the results of Step 1.Step 3Divide the result of Step 2 by the number of qualifying accounting periods.5The current period is a qualifying accounting period.6Each of the previous two accounting periods is a qualifying period unless—anone of the relevant members of the group in the territory had revenue in that period, andbnone of the relevant members of the group in the territory made a loss in that

amounts multiplied by inclusion ratio2001The amount of a top-up amount of a member of a multinational group that is attributed to a responsible member (see section 128) is found by multiplying the top-up amount by the responsible member’s inclusion ratio for the member whose top-up amount it is.2Where the responsible member’s (“the first responsible member”) interest in the member is through another responsible member, the first responsible member’s top-up amount is to be reduced (but not below nil) by the amount attributed under this section to that other responsible member.Inclusion ratio2011A responsible member’s inclusion ratio for a member with a top-up amount (“the relevant member”) is found as follows—Step 1Determine the adjusted profits of the relevant member with the top-up amount (in accordance with Chapter 4).Step 2Determine how much of those profits are attributable to ownership interests held by individuals and entities other than the responsible member , but excluding ownership interests in respect of which an amount has been excluded from the relevant member’s adjusted profits.Step 3Subtract the amount determined under Step 2 from the amount determined under Step 1.Step 4The inclusion ratio is given by dividing the amount determined under Step 3 by the amount determined under Step 1 .2The amount of profits of the relevant member attributable to ownership interests held by individuals and entities other than the responsible member is the amount that would, in hypothetical consolidated financial statements prepared by the responsible member (whether or not it actually prepared consolidated financial statements), have been treated in those statements as attributable to such individuals and entities under the principles of the authorised accounting standard used, or treated as used (see section 249(1)(d)), in the ultimate parent’s consolidated financial statements.3For the purposes of determining what that amount would be in those hypothetical consolidated financial statements of the responsible member, use the following assumptions—athe relevant member’s profits were its adjusted profits as determined in accordance with Chapter 4;bthe responsible member had a controlling interest in the relevant member such that all of its income and expenses were consolidated on a line-by-line basis with those of the responsible member;call of the profits of the relevant member were attributable to transactions with persons who are not members of the multinational group;dall ownership interests that are not directly or indirectly held by the responsible member were held by persons other than members of the multinational group.4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Chapter 8Further adjustmentsCovered taxes less than nilCovered taxes balance less than nil when members in a territory have a profit2021This section applies to the standard members of a multinational group in a territory (“the relevant territory”) in an accounting period (“the current period”) if—athose members do not have a collective loss for the current period, andbthe combined covered tax balance for those members for the current period is less than nil (including as a result of this section or section 205 having applied in a previous accounting period).2Where this section applies—athe amount of the combined covered tax balance for the current period is to be added to the combined covered tax balance for the standard members in the relevant territory in the next accounting period in which those members do not have a collective loss (which as the balance for the current period is negative will reduce the combined covered tax balance for that next period), andbthe combined covered tax balance for those members for the current period is to be treated as nil (and as a result of Step 5 in section 132(1) their effective tax rate for the current period will be 0%).3For the purposes of this section and sections 203 to 205, the standard members of a multinational group in a territory have a collective loss for a period if the result of Step 2 in section 132(1) is nil or less for those members for that period.Additional top-up amounts where covered taxes less than expected2031This section applies in an accounting period in relation to standard members of a multinational group in a territory where—athose members have a collective loss for that period, andbthe combined covered tax balance for those members for the current period is less than nil, andcthe collective negative covered tax balance expressed as a positive number is greater than the amount given by multiplying the collective loss expressed as a positive number by 15% (“the expected covered tax amount”).2Where this section applies, those members in that territory collectively have an additional top-up amount (a “collective additional amount”) equal to the difference between the expected covered tax amount and the combined covered tax balance.3Where those members have a QDT credit for the accounting period, the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced in accordance with subsections (4) to (7).4Where—athe standard members do not have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe collective additional amount under this section (before any reduction) is equal to or greater than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced by the sum of those accrued amounts.5Where—athe standard members do not have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe collective additional amount under this section (before any reduction) is less than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced to nil.6Where—athe standard members have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe sum of the collective additional amount under this section (before any reduction) and the collective additional amount under section 206 is less than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced to nil.7Where—athe standard members have a collective additional amount under section 206 for the period, andbthe sum of the collective additional amount under this section (before any reduction) and the collective additional amount under section 206 is equal to or greater than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced by the amount given by multiplying the sum of those amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax by the amount given by

to each member that has a negative covered tax balance, expressed as a negative number, which is less than the adjusted profits of that member (which may be positive or negative) multiplied by 15%.2To determine the amount of the collective additional amount to be allocated to each such member, take the following steps—Step 1For each such member determine the amount given by subtracting the member’s negative covered tax balance, expressed as a negative number, from its adjusted profits multiplied by 15%.Step 2Add together the amounts determined under Step 1.Step 3For each such member, divide the amount determined for that member under Step 1 by the result of Step 2.Step 4Allocate to each member the amount given by multiplying the result of Step 3 for that member by the collective additional amount.3For the purposes of this Part, an amount of a collective additional amount allocated to a member of a multinational group under this section is an additional top-up amount.4Chapter 7 (allocation of top-up amounts to responsible members) applies to an additional top-up amount allocated to a member of a multinational group under this section as it applies to a top-up amount of that member as if the adjusted profits of that member were the amount given by dividing the additional top-up amount by 15%.Election to carry forward and reduce collective additional amount2051This section applies where the standard members of a multinational group in a territory (“the relevant territory”) have a collective additional amount under section 203 for an accounting period (“the current period”) and the filing member of the group has elected for this section to apply for that period.2Where this section applies—athe qualifying amount of the collective additional amount under section 203 for the current period is to be subtracted from the combined covered tax balance for the standard members of the group in the relevant territory in the next accounting period in which the members of the group in the relevant territory do not have a collective loss, andbthe collective additional amount under section 203 for the current period is to be reduced by the qualifying amount of that collective additional amount (including to nil where the whole amount is qualifying).3The amount of the collective additional amount under section 203 that is “qualifying” is the amount given by subtracting the amount of any deferred tax asset deemed to arise under section 217(7) for the period.4Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this section.Additional

members of the group in the territory for the prior period would have had for that period (taking account of all recalculations required for that period).Step 2For each prior period, subtract the sum of the top-up amounts those members had for that prior period from the sum of top-up amounts that those members would have for that period.Step 3Add together all of the results of Step 2 that are greater than nil (and if there are no such results, the result of this step is nil).Step 4Where the current members have a special additional top-up tax amount under section 192 for the current period, add that amount to the result of Step 3 (which may be nil).4Where the current members have a QDT credit for the accounting period, the collective additional amount under this section is to be

that each of those members would have in accordance with the recalculation, or recalculations, that relate to the collective additional amount.Step 3For each member where the result of Step 2 is greater than nil, divide that result by the result of step 1.Step 4Each such member has an additional top-up amount under this section equal to the amount given by multiplying the collective additional amount by the result of Step 3 for that member.2Chapter 7 (allocation of top-up amounts to responsible members)—aapplies to an additional top-up amount allocated to a member of a multinational group under this section as it applies to a top-up amount of that member, andbif the result of Step 2 in section 132(1) in relation to the standard members of the group for the current period is nil or less (those members between them have made a loss), has effect as if the adjusted profits of that member were the amount given by dividing the additional top-up amount by 15%.Restructuring of groupsMember joining or leaving multinational group2081Subsection (2) applies to an entity where, in an accounting period (“the transfer period”) of a multinational group, the entity—abecomes a member of that multinational group (including, where it was previously a member of a different group, as a result of it becoming the ultimate parent of a new group), orbceases to be a member of that multinational group.2The entity is to be treated as a member of that group for the whole of the transfer period (whether or not that results in it being treated as a member of two or more groups) if any portion of its assets, liabilities, income, expenses or cash flows are included on a line-by-line basis in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent for that period.3But in applying this Part in relation to the entity as a member of the multinational group it has become or ceased to be a member of, only its profits, covered taxes and (where applicable) eligible payroll costs that are taken into account in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent are to be taken account of.4Any purchase accounting consolidation adjustments arising from the transfer of the ownership interests resulting in an entity becoming a member of a multinational group are to be ignored in determining the adjusted profits and covered tax balance of that entity as a member of that group in the transfer period and in subsequent accounting periods.5When (where applicable) determining the eligible tangible asset amount of an entity that becomes a member of a multinational group as a member of that group in the transfer period, adjust that amount by multiplying it by the amount given by dividing the number of days in the post-transfer period by the number of days in the transfer period.6For the purposes of subsection (5) the “post-transfer period” means the period beginning with the day on which the member became or (as the case may be) ceased to be a member of a multinational group and ending with the last day of the transfer period.7When (where applicable) determining the eligible tangible asset amount of an entity that ceased to be a member of a multinational group as a member of that group in the transfer period, adjust that amount by multiplying it by the amount given by dividing the number of days in the pre-transfer period by the number of days in the transfer period.8For the purposes of subsection (7) the “pre-transfer period” means the period beginning with the commencement of the transfer period and ending with the day before the day on which the ownership interests were transferred.9Subsections (10) and (11) apply where an entity that becomes a member of a multinational group (“group A”) as a result of a transfer of direct or indirect ownership interests in it was a member of another multinational group immediately before the transfer (“group B”).10The amount of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities (which for these purposes does not include a special loss deferred tax asset) of the entity that existed immediately before the transfer to be taken into account in relation to that entity as a member of group A is the amount that would have been taken into account had group A had a controlling interest in the entity at the time the assets and liabilities arose.11Where a deferred tax liability of the entity was included in the total deferred tax adjustment amount for that member in group B—athat deferred tax liability is to be deemed to have reversed without the need to reflect the reversal in any calculation made for the purposes of this Part in relation to group B, andbthe deferred tax liability is to be treated as arising in the transfer period for the purpose of determining the total deferred tax adjustment amount for the member in group A,cany resulting reduction in the covered tax balance of the entity as a member of group A (see sections 182 and 184) is only to have effect in the accounting period in which the deferred tax liability is recaptured.When transfer of controlling interest treated as acquisition of assets and liabilities2091This section applies to the acquisition or disposal of a controlling interest in a member of a multinational group where—athe acquisition or disposal of that controlling interest is treated in the same, or a similar manner, as a transfer of assets and liabilities of the member (rather than ownership interests in it) by—iin the case of the acquisition or disposal of a controlling interest in an entity which is tax transparent under the law of the territory in which it was created, the territory in which the assets are located, oriiin any other case, the territory in which the member is located, andbthat territory imposes a covered tax on the seller based on the difference between the tax basis and either the consideration paid in exchange for the controlling interest or the fair value of the assets and liabilities.2Where this section applies to an acquisition or disposal of a controlling interest in a member of a multinational group, that acquisition or disposal is to be treated as an acquisition or disposal of the assets and liabilities of the member (and accordingly, section 208 will not apply in relation to that transfer).3Any covered tax arising in relation to the disposal of a controlling interest in a member of a multinational group described in subsection (1)(b) is to included in the covered tax balance of that member.Transfer of assets or liabilities from a member of a multinational group2101Where a member of a multinational group transfers assets or liabilities to another entity in the course of a qualifying reorganisation (see section 212), any gain or loss on the transfer is to be excluded from the adjusted profits of the member, except to the extent it is a non-qualifying gain or loss.2In this section, and in sections 211 and 212, “non-qualifying gain or loss” means a gain or loss of the transferor on the transfer of assets or liabilities, and is the lesser of—athe amount of that gain or loss that is subject to tax in the territory the transferor is located in, andbthe amount of that gain or loss reflected in the underlying profits accounts of the transferor.Transfer of assets or liabilities to a member of a multinational group2111Subsection (1A) applies where there has been a transfer of assets or liabilities to a member of a multinational group and—athe transfer forms part of a qualifying reorganisation (see section 212), orbthe transferor is a member of the group and—ithe transferee is located in the same territory as the transferor,iithe transferee and transferor are included in the same tax consolidation group in that territory (within the meaning of section 164(5)), andiiian election under section 164 (election to exclude intra-group transactions) has effect in relation to those members at the time of the transfer.1AThe value of the assets or liabilities is, for the purpose of determining the adjusted profits of the member, the carrying value of the assets or liabilities in the hands of the transferor immediately before the transfer.1BSubsection (1C) applies where there has been a transfer of assets or liabilities to a member of a multinational group and subsection (1A) does not apply.1CThe value of the assets or liabilities is, for the purpose of determining the adjusted profits of the member, the carrying value of the assets or liabilities immediately after the transfer as determined under the accounting standard used in determining the underlying profits of the member for the purposes of this Part and subject to the adjustments to those profits made in accordance with Chapter 4.2But subsection (3) applies where—a subsection (1C) applies in relation to the transfer,bthe transfer is from another member of the group, ...bathe transferor and the transferee are not members of the same type located in the same territory, andcneither a gain nor a loss is recorded in the underlying profits accounts of the transferor in respect of that transfer.3Where this subsection applies the adjusted profits of both the transferor and the transferee are to be adjusted to secure that the transfer is reflected on an arm’s length basis (see section 149(7)).4Where a member of a multinational group transfers assets or liabilities to another entity in the course of a qualifying reorganisation, and recognises a non-qualifying gain or loss as a result of that transfer—athat gain or loss, to the extent it is non-qualifying, is to be included in the adjusted profits of the member, andbwhere the other entity is a member of a multinational group, the value of the assets or liabilities is, for the purposes of determining the adjusted profits of that member, to be adjusted to exclude the non-qualifying gain or loss in a manner consistent with the tax treatment of the assets or liabilities.5For the purposes of subsection (2) two members of a multinational group are of the same type if—athey are both standard members of the group,bthey are both investment entities, orcthey are both members of the same minority subgroup (see section 228).Meaning of “qualifying reorganisation”2121For the purposes of sections 210 and 211, a transfer of assets or liabilities is made in the course of a qualifying reorganisation if the transfer takes place as a result of a merger, de-merger, liquidation or a change in form of an entity, or a similar event, and conditions A, B and C are met.2Condition A is that—aany consideration for the transfer is, or the transfer involves, wholly or mostly equity interests issued by the transferee, or by a person connected with the transferee,bin the case of a liquidation, any consideration for the transfer is, or the transfer involves, wholly or mostly, the cancellation of equity interests in the entity subject to the liquidation, orcthe reorganisation does not result in a change in the ownership of an entity.3Condition B is that any gain or loss of the transferor that arises from the transfer is not, in whole or in part, subject to tax.4Condition C is that, under the law of the territory the transferee is located in, the value of the assets or liabilities for the purpose of determining the transferee’s taxable income is no greater than the tax basis value of the assets or liabilities in the hands of the transferor, adjusted for any non-qualifying gain or loss.5Sections 719 to 724A of CTA 2010 (change in company ownership) have effect for the purposes of determining whether there has been a change in ownership of an entity as if—areferences in those sections to “company” were to “entity”;breferences in those sections to ordinary share capital or shares (however expressed), in relation to a company, were to ownership interests in an entity;cin section 721—iin subsection (1), “for the purposes of Chapters 2 to 5A” were omitted,iiin subsection (3), for the words from “major change” to the end there were substituted “a change in the ownership of the company”,iiiin subsection (4), the words from “for” to “5A” were omitted,ivin that subsection, paragraph (a) were omitted, andvin that paragraph (a) of that subsection, for “share capital” there were substituted “ownership interests”;dsection 722, and references to it in those sections, were omitted;ein section 724—iin subsection (2) for “conditions A, B and C are met” there were substituted “the parent entity has at least 75% of the ownership interests in the subsidiary entity”, andiisubsections (3) to (6) were omitted;fin section 724A—iin subsection (1), in the words before paragraph (a), “for the purposes of Chapters 2 to 6” were omitted, andiiin that subsection, paragraphs (b) and (c) were omitted, andiiisubsection (8) were omitted.Elections in relation to investment entitiesInvestment entity tax transparency election2131The filing member of a multinational group may make an investment entity tax transparency election in relation to a member of the group that is an investment entity (“M”) and a member of the group with ownership interests in that entity (“O”).2For the purposes of determining whether O has ownership interests in M, only interests that give rise to a share of profits are to be taken into account.3An investment entity tax transparency election is an election that, for the purposes of sections 168 (underlying profits of transparent entities) and 178 (covered taxes of transparent entities)—aM is to be treated as a flow-through entity,bM is to be treated as regarded as tax transparent in the territory of O, andcO is to be treated as having direct ownership interests in M.4To determine the percentage of direct ownership interest O is to be treated as having in M, section 246(1) applies as if paragraph (b) were omitted, and for those purposes only interests that give rise in a share of profits are relevant.5The filing member may only make such an election if—aan election under section 214 is not in effect in relation to M and O, andbeither—iO is subject to tax (in the territory in which O is located) on increases in the fair value of its ownership interests in M, and the rate of tax applicable to such increases is equal to or exceeds 15%, oriiO is a regulated mutual insurance entity.6An entity is a “regulated mutual insurance entity” if—ait is regulated or authorised to carry on insurance business, andbit is wholly owned by persons with which it has entered into insurance contracts.6AWhere, ignoring the election, profits and amounts of qualifying tax expense would be allocated to M in accordance with sections 168 and 178 to 181, those profits and amounts are to be allocated—afirst to M, and thenbto O in proportion to the direct ownership interests O is treated as having in M.7Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under this section.8Subsection (9) applies where—aan election under this section has been revoked, andbthe adjusted profits of M fall to be determined for the first accounting period in respect of which the election no longer applies (the “revocation period”).9In determining those profits, the value of any gain or loss from the disposition of an asset or liability by M is to be determined by reference to the fair value of the asset or liability as at the first day of the revocation period.10Subsection (11) applies where—aan election under this section has been revoked, andbthe adjusted profits of M fall to be determined for an accounting period—iafter the revocation period, butiibefore an accounting period for which a further election under this section has been made.11In determining those profits, the value of any gain or loss from the disposition of an asset or liability by M is to be determined by reference to—aif M’s assets and liabilities are accounted for on a realisation basis, the fair value of the asset or liability as at the first day of the revocation period;bif M’s assets and liabilities are accounted for on a fair value basis, the fair value of the asset or liability as accounted for at the end of the previous accounting period.Taxable distribution method election2141The filing member of a multinational group may elect that a member of the group (an “owner”) with direct ownership interests in an investment entity that is a member of the group is to have those interests treated in accordance with this section.2The filing member may only make such an election if—aan election under section 213 is not in effect in relation to the owner,bthe owner is not itself an investment entity, andcthe owner can reasonably be expected to be subject to tax (in the territory in which it is located) on distributions from the entity at a rate equal to or exceeding 15%.3If an election is made under this section, in calculating amounts under this Part—adistributions and deemed distributions from the investment entity to the owner in an accounting period are to be included in the adjusted profits of the owner in that period;bcredit the owner receives to reduce the tax payable by the owner in an accounting period to reflect tax payable or to be paid by the entity in that period is to be included in the adjusted profits of the owner in that period;cif the owner receives such credit, such tax payable or to be paid by the entity in an accounting period is to be taken into account in determining the covered tax balance of the owner in that period.4If an election is made under this section—aan undistributed income amount for the entity for an accounting period is to be determined under section 215, andbany positive undistributed income amount is to be added to the top-up amount of that entity as determined under section 220(1) (see section 220(2)).5Paragraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under this section.6Subsection (7) applies where—aan election under this section has been revoked, andbthe adjusted profits of the investment entity fall to be determined under section 220 for the first accounting period in respect of which the election no longer applies.7Those profits are to include any positive undistributed income amount for the entity for the previous accounting period.Undistributed income amount2151The undistributed income amount for an investment entity for an accounting period is the entity’s adjusted profits for the income period less the amounts referred to in subsection (2).2The amounts are—athe covered taxes payable by the entity (determined in accordance with Chapter 5) in the income period;bdistributions and deemed distributions paid by the entity and received by shareholders other than other investment entities in the review period;cif, on determining the adjusted profits for the accounting periods in the review period, the entity has made a loss for one or more of those periods ..., the sum of those losses;dthe investment loss carry-forward amount for the review period.3But an amount referred to in subsection (2) is not to be deducted from the undistributed income amount for an accounting period if it has already been deducted from the undistributed income amount for a previous accounting period.4In this section—athe “income period” is the third accounting period before the accounting period for which the undistributed income amount falls to be determined;bthe “review period” is the period beginning with the first day of the income period and ending with the last day of the accounting period for which the undistributed income amount falls to be determined;ca “deemed distribution” is an amount arising from the transfer of an ownership interest held by the owner to a person that is not a member of the group;dthe amount of a deemed distribution is to be calculated as the undistributed income amount for the accounting period in which the transfer occurs (disregarding the deemed distribution) multiplied by the transfer factor;ethe transfer factor is the value of the ownership interest transferred divided by the sum of that value and the value of the remaining ownership interest held by the owner;fthe “investment loss carry-forward amount” for a review period is the amount of any losses not deducted from the undistributed income amount for any accounting period preceding the review period.Other adjustmentsElection where assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value for tax purposes2161This section applies to a member of a multinational group if the filing member has made an election under this section in respect of a relevant tax adjustment made in an accounting period (“the adjustment period”) in relation to that member.2A “relevant tax adjustment” is an adjustment to the value of assets or liabilities of a member of a multinational group for tax purposes so that they reflect fair value that is required or permitted, under the law of the territory the member is located in, as a result of the occurrence of an event.3But adjustments made in connection with transfer pricing, or in connection with the sale of assets in the course of carrying on a trade, are not relevant tax adjustments.4Where this section applies to the member—athe member has an adjustment amount in respect of each asset or liability that is subject to the relevant adjustment, andbthe value of an asset or liability subject to the relevant adjustment is to be treated, for the purpose of determining the member’s adjusted profits in the adjustment period and subsequent accounting periods, as its fair value immediately after occurrence of the event that caused, or enabled, the adjustment to be made.5An adjustment amount is to be—aincluded in the adjusted profits of the member for the adjustment period, orbsplit into 5 equal amounts to be included in the adjusted profits of the member in that period and the subsequent 4 accounting periods.6But where the adjustment amount is split between those accounting periods and the member leaves the multinational group before the end of the 4th subsequent accounting period, any amount of the adjustment amount that has not been included in the adjusted profits of the member for a previous accounting period is to be included in the adjusted profits of the member for the final accounting period in which it was a member of the group.7The adjustment amount of a member of a multinational group in respect of an asset or liability subject to a relevant adjustment is the amount given by—asubtracting the carrying value of the asset or liability immediately before the event that caused, or enabled, the adjustment to be made from the fair value of the asset or liability immediately after occurrence of that event, andbif that event resulted in a non-qualifying gain or loss (within the meaning given by section 210(2)) for the member—iin the case of a non-qualifying gain, reducing the result of paragraph (a) by the amount of that gain, oriiin the case of a non-qualifying loss, increasing the result of paragraph (a) by the amount of that loss.8Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this section.Post filing adjustments of covered taxes2171This section applies where, in an accounting period (“the current period”), the liability of a member of a multinational group to covered taxes for a prior accounting period (“the prior period”) as reflected in an information return, overseas information return or self-assessment return (see Schedule 14) has increased or decreased.1AIn the case of a prior accounting period for which there is no information return, overseas information return or self-assessment return, the reference to covered taxes being reflected in such a return is to the covered taxes as would have been reflected in such a return had there been one.2Subsection (4) applies where—a the relevant aggregate liability has increased, orb the relevant aggregate liability has decreased and the decrease is to be treated as insignificant.3Subsection (5) applies where the relevant aggregate liability has decreased, unless the decrease is to be treated as insignificant.4Where this subsection applies, the covered tax balance of the member for the current period is to be adjusted so as to reflect the amount of the increase or decrease referred to in subsection (1), if not already reflected in that balance.5Where this subsection applies—athe following are to be recalculated for the prior period to take account of the decrease referred to in subsection (3)—ithe effective tax rate for the member and the other members of that group located in the same territory,iithe top-up amounts that those members would have, andiiiif the liability to covered taxes has decreased because of a reduction of the member’s profits, its adjusted profits but only to the extent necessary to prevent the effective tax rate from decreasing,bthe adjusted profits of those members in subsequent accounting periods are to be adjusted in consequence of the decrease referred to in subsection (3), and the matters referred to in paragraph (a) recalculated accordingly, andcif the amount of the decrease referred to in subsection (3) is reflected in the covered tax balance of the member for the current period, that balance is to be adjusted to exclude it.6Section 206 applies to a recalculation under subsection (5).7Where subsection (5) applies in relation to a decrease in liability to covered taxes that arises as a result of the member offsetting a loss in a later accounting period against profits in the prior period, the member is treated for the purposes of this Part—aas having a deferred tax asset that arises in the later period that is equal to the amount offset multiplied by the lesser of—i15%, andiithe tax rate that applied to the profits the amount was offset against, andbas having used that asset in the prior accounting period.8For the purposes of this section, a decrease of liability is to be treated as insignificant if—a the relevant aggregate liability is not reduced by 1 million euros or more, andbthe filing member has made an election for decreases in the prior period to be treated as insignificant.Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this subsection.9In this section “the relevant aggregate liability”, in relation to the member referred to in subsection (1), means the aggregate liability to covered taxes of the standard members of the group in the territory of the member for the prior period.Effect of rate changes to deferred tax expense2181Where—athe rate of tax for a member of a multinational group changes in an accounting period,bthe change in rate is to some extent relevant, andcthe effect of the rate change would reduce the member’s covered tax balance in a previous accounting period if the deferred tax expense in that period were recalculated to take account of the change in the rate,section 217 applies to so much of that reduction as reflects the extent of the change in rate that is relevant as it applies to a decrease in liability to covered taxes.2Where—athe rate of tax for a member of a multinational group changed in a previous accounting period,bthe change in rate is to some extent relevant,cthe member’s deferred tax expense for the current accounting period reflects the reversal of deferred tax assets or liabilities that were recognised in an accounting period prior to the rate change at a different rate, anddthe effect of the rate change would increase the member’s covered tax balance in a previous accounting period if the deferred tax expense in that period were recalculated to take account of the change in the rate,section 217 applies to so much of that increase as reflects the extent of the change in rate that is relevant as it applies to a increase in liability to covered taxes.3For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), a change of a rate of tax is relevant to the extent that—ain the case of a rate that is increasing, it reflects an increase from below 15% to the lesser of—ithe rate it is changed to, andii15%, andbin the case of a rate that is decreasing, it reflects a decrease from the lesser of—ithe previous rate, andii15%.Adjustment where covered taxes not paid2191Where an amount of current tax expense included in the covered tax balance of a member of a multinational group for an accounting period is not paid before the end of the period of 3 years commencing with the last day of that accounting period, the following are to be recalculated excluding that amount—athe effective tax rate for the member and the other members of that group located in the same territory, andbthe top-up amounts that those members would have.2But subsection (1) does not apply unless the total of amounts included in the covered tax balance for that accounting period which are not paid before the end of that 3 year period exceeds 1 million euros.3Section 206 applies to a recalculation under subsection (1).Chapter 9Special provision for investment entities, joint venture groups and minority-owned membersInvestment entitiesTop-up amount of investment entity2201The top-up amount for an accounting period of a member of a multinational group that is an investment entity is, subject to subsection (2), determined by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the adjusted profits (if any) of the entity for the period in accordance with Chapter 4. If the adjusted profits are nil or less, the top-up amount is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.Step 2Adjust the result of Step 1 in accordance with section 223 (to the extent applicable). If the adjusted result is nil, the top-up amount is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3.Step 3Determine the substance-based income exclusion for the entity for the period (see section 221).Step 4Adjust the result of Step 3 in accordance with section 223 (to the extent applicable).Step 5Subtract the result of Step 4 from the result of Step 2. If the result is nil or less, the top-up amount is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 6.Step 6Determine the investment entity effective tax rate for the territory for the period (see section 222).Step 7Subtract the result of Step 6 from 15%. If the result is nil or less, the top-up amount is nil. Otherwise, proceed to Step 8.Step 8Multiply the result of Step 7 by the result of Step 5. This is the top-up amount for the entity , unless the entity has a positive undistributed income amount (see sections 214 and 215) for the period (in which case proceed to Step 9).Step 9Where this Step applies, the top-up amount for the entity is the sum of—the result of Step 8, andthe positive undistributed income amount for the entity for the period multiplied by 15%.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3For the purposes of applying Chapter 4 in relation to an investment entity, the references in that Chapter to “standard members” of a multinational group are instead to members of the multinational group that are investment entities.Substance based income exclusion for investment entity2211The substance based income exclusion for an investment entity is to be determined by adding together—athe payroll carve-out amount of the entity, andbthe tangible asset carve-out amount of the entity,2Section 195(4) applies to the determination of the payroll carve-out amount of the entity as it applies for members of the group that are not investment entities.3Section 195(5) applies to the determination of the tangible asset carve-out amount of the entity as it applies for members of the group that are not investment entities.4If the filing member for the group elects not to calculate the substance based income exclusion for the period in a self-assessment (see Schedule 14), the exclusion is nil.5Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under subsection (4).Investment entity effective tax rate222The investment entity effective tax rate in a territory for an accounting period is determined by taking the following steps—Step 1Determine the adjusted profits made by each of the investment entities in the territory, as determined under Chapter 4 and adjusted under section 223.Step 2Subtract the sum of the losses of those investment entities that made a loss in that period from the sum of the profits of those investment entities that made a profit in that period.Step 3If the result of Step 2 is nil or less, the investment entity effective tax rate is to be treated as 15%. Otherwise, proceed to Step 4.Step 4Determine the covered tax balance of each such investment entity in accordance with Chapter 5.Step 5Adjust the amounts determined in Step 4 in accordance with section 223 (to the extent applicable).Step 6Add together the amounts determined in Step 5 that are adjusted positive covered tax balances.Step 7Add together the amounts determined in Step 5 that are adjusted negative covered tax balances.Step 8Subtract the result of Step 7 from the result of Step 6.Step 9Divide the result of Step 8 by the result of Step 2. This is the investment entity effective tax rate.Adjustments2231In this section each of the following amounts is a “relevant amount”—athe adjusted profits of an investment entity;ba substance based income exclusion for an investment entity;cthe covered tax balance of an investment entity.2An external holding adjustment is to be made to each relevant amount if a person that is not a member of the multinational group has ownership interests in the entity and no election under section 213 (tax transparency election) has been made in relation to the entity.3An election adjustment is to be made to each relevant amount if an election under section 213 (tax transparency election) or 214 (taxable distribution method election) has been made in relation to the entity.4Where both an external holding adjustment and an election adjustment are to be made, the election adjustment is to be made after the external holding adjustment (and accordingly is to be an adjustment of a relevant amount as adjusted by the external holding adjustment).5An adjustment under this section is a reduction of the relevant amount by an adjustment amount.6An adjustment amount is the adjustment factor for the type of adjustment multiplied by the relevant amount.7The adjustment factor for an external holding adjustment is the value obtained by dividing—athe amount of profits of the entity attributable to ownership interests held by persons that are not members of the group, , other than ownership interests in respect of which an amount has been excluded from the adjusted profits of the entity, bybthe total amount of adjusted profits of the entity determined under Chapter 4,(but if the amount mentioned in paragraph (b) is nil, the adjustment factor is to be taken to be nil).8The adjustment factor for an election adjustment is the value obtained by dividing—athe amount of profits of the entity attributable to ownership interests held by the owners in relation to which an election has been made, , other than ownership interests in respect of which an amount has been excluded from the adjusted profits of the entity, bybthe total amount of profits of the entity attributable to ownership interests held by members of the group,(but if the amount mentioned in paragraph (b) is nil, the adjustment factor is to be taken to be nil).9The amount of profits attributable to ownership interests is to be determined in accordance with the method in section 201(2) and (3) for determining the amount of profits attributable to the ownership interests referred to in that section.10Where the covered tax balance of an investment entity includes an amount allocated to it under section 179(1) or 180(3)(a) (allocation of tax imposed under controlled foreign company tax regimes), only so much of its covered tax balance as is not comprised of amounts allocated under those sections is subject to adjustment under this section.Additional top-up amounts of investment entities2241Sections 202 to 207 apply in respect of a member of a multinational group that is an investment entity such that the member may have additional top-up amounts.2For that purpose—areferences in those sections to the standard members of a multinational group in a territory apply as if they were references to the investment entities of the group in the territory;bthe reference in section 202(3) to Step 2 in section

section “top-up amount” includes an additional top-up amount determined under section 224.2Section 200 applies to the attribution of a top-up amount of a member of a multinational group that is an investment entity (“the relevant member”) to a responsible member as it applies to a top-up amount of any other member of the group.3Section 201 applies for the purpose of determining the inclusion ratio of the responsible member, but—ain carrying out Step 1 in section 201(1)—ithe adjusted profits of the entity determined in that Step are to be further adjusted in accordance with section 223 (to the extent applicable);iiif an election under section 214 (taxable distribution method election) has been made in relation to the entity, the adjusted profits of the entity are to be treated as including the undistributed income amount for the entity determined under section 215, andbsubsection (4) of that section applies whether or not the relevant member is a flow-through entity (so that entities that are not members of the group are always ignored).Joint venture groupJoint venture group2261For the purposes of this Part “joint venture group” means a joint venture parent of a qualifying multinational group and its joint venture subsidiaries (together its “members”).2An entity is a joint venture parent of a multinational group for an accounting period of that entity if—athe financial results of that entity for all or any part of that period are reported under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent of that group,bthe ultimate parent holds at least 50% of the ownership interests in the entity at any time in that period,cthe entity is not the ultimate parent of a multinational group that meets condition A in section 129(2) for that accounting period (revenue threshold exceeded in at least 2 of previous 4 accounting periods),dthe entity is not an excluded entity,ethe entity is not an entity owned by an excluded entity—ithat only carries out activities that are ancillary to the activities of the excluded entity,iiwhose activities consist, wholly or almost wholly, of the holding of assets or the investment of funds for the benefit of the excluded entity, oriiiwhose income is, wholly or almost wholly, excluded dividends or excluded equity gains (or a mixture of both),fthe multinational group referred to in paragraph (a) is not composed exclusively of excluded entities, andgthe entity is not a joint venture subsidiary in relation to another joint venture parent.3An entity is a joint venture subsidiary of a joint venture parent if its assets liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements of the joint venture parent.4Where the main entity of a permanent establishment is a joint venture parent of a multinational group or a joint venture subsidiary, that permanent establishment is to be treated as a separate joint venture subsidiary of the same multinational group joint venture group.Application of Part to joint venture groups2271This Part applies to a joint venture group as it applies to a multinational group, but in their application by virtue of this subsection Chapters 3 to 6 and 8 of this Part , this Chapter other than this section and section 226 and Schedules 16 and 16A have effect as if—areferences to the ultimate parent were to the joint venture parent of that group,breferences to a member of a multinational group were to the members of the joint venture group, and.creferences to the filing member were to the filing member of each respective multinational group whose ultimate parent holds at least 50% of the ownership interests in the joint venture parent.2For the purposes of the other provisions of this Part (in its application by virtue of subsection (1)), the members of the joint venture group are treated as members of each multinational group whose ultimate parent directly or indirectly holds at least 50% of the ownership interests in the joint venture parent.3But (in the application of this Part by virtue of subsection (1)) no member of the joint venture group is to be regarded as an intermediate parent member or a partially owned parent member of the joint venture group.Minority owned membersMinority owned members2281For the purposes of this Part, a member of a multinational group is a “minority owned member” if—athe ultimate parent holds no more than 30% of the ownership interests in that member, andbthe member is not an investment entity.2If—aa minority owned member (“M”) holds (directly or indirectly) ownership interests in another minority owned member, andbno other minority owned member holds (directly or indirectly) ownership interests in M,M is the minority owned parent of a minority subgroup, and the minority owned members in which M has ownership interests are also members of that group.3For the purpose of determining the effective tax rate and top-up amounts of members of a minority subgroup, this Part applies as if references to standard members of a multinational group were instead to members of that subgroup.4For the purposes of determining the effective tax rate and top-up amounts of a minority owned member that is not a member of a minority subgroup, this Part applies as if references to standard members of a multinational group were instead to that member.5But neither subsection (3) nor (4) applies to the reference to “standard member” in section 199(2A) (election to treat top-up amounts of relevant members as nil).Application to multi-parent groupsMulti-parent groups2291Where two or more consolidated groups form part of a multi-parent group—athose groups (“the constituent groups”) are to be treated as a single multinational group (and accordingly multinational top-up tax will be charged in relation to that single group), andbthe group’s members include (as well as the members who are members as a result of section 126) entities who would not be a member of any of the constituent groups but in which a controlling interest is held by one or more members of the constituent groups,2This Part has effect, in its application to a multi-parent group, as if—areferences (however framed) to the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent were to the multi-parent consolidated financial statements,breferences to the ultimate parent were to all of the ultimate parents of the constituent groups, other than the reference in section 128(3)(b) (responsible members).3Where ownership interests in an intermediate parent member of a multi-parent group are held by more than one of the ultimate parents of the multi-parent group, section 128(3) has effect as if for paragraph (b) there were substituted—bany of the ultimate parents of the constituent groups that have ownership interest in the intermediate parent member are not subject to Pillar Two IIR tax, and.4Where an intermediate parent member of a multi-parent group is not a member of any of the constituent groups, section 128 has effect in relation to it as if—aparagraph (b) of subsection (3) were omitted, andbfor subsection (4) there were substituted—4Such an intermediate parent member is responsible for each member of the group it has an ownership interest provided the conditions in subsection (4A) are met in relation to that member (“the owned member”).4AThose conditions are that—athe owned member is not located in the same territory as the intermediate parent member, andbany of the ultimate parents of the constituent groups that has an ownership interest in the owned member is not subject to Pillar Two IIR tax.5Unless a nomination under paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 14 is in force in relation to a multi-parent group—athe ultimate parents of the constituent groups are jointly the filing member of the multi-parent group, andbany liability for a penalty for a failure to comply with the obligations of the filing member is the joint and several liability of those ultimate parents.6For the purposes of this section—two or more consolidated groups form part of a “multi-parent group” if—the ultimate parents of those groups are party to an arrangement that is a stapled structure or a dual-listed arrangement, andat least one of the controlled entities of those groups is not in the same territory as another of the other controlled entities of those groups;“controlled entity” in relation to two or more consolidated groups means—a member of any of those groups, andany entity, other than a member of any of those groups, in which a controlling interest is held by one or more members of those groups;“stapled structure” means an arrangement entered into by two or more ultimate parents of consolidated groups where the following conditions are met—as a result of the arrangements, 50% or more of the ownership Interests in the ultimate parents of the consolidated groups—are by reason of form of ownership, restrictions on transfer, or other terms or conditions combined with each other, andcannot be transferred or traded independently;if the combined ownership Interests are listed, they are quoted at a single price;one of those ultimate parents prepares, or together those parents prepare, consolidated financial statements—in which the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of the controlled entities of those consolidated groups are presented together as those of a single economic unit, andthat are required by a regulatory regime to be externally audited;“dual-listed arrangement” means an arrangement entered into by two or more ultimate parents of consolidated groups to combine their businesses by contract (rather than by the holding of ownership interests in one another) where the following conditions are met—the arrangements provide for the ultimate parents of the groups to make distributions (with respect to dividends and in liquidation) to their shareholders based on a fixed ratio,the arrangements provide for the management of those businesses as a single economic entity while retaining their separate legal identities,ownership interests in the ultimate parents are quoted, traded or transferred independently in different capital markets, andone of those ultimate parents prepares, or together those parents prepare, consolidated financial statements—in which the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of the controlled entities of those consolidated groups are presented together as those of a single economic unit, andthat are required by a regulatory regime to be externally audited;“multi-parent consolidated financial statements” means—in relation to a multi-parent group that is a multi-parent group as a result of a stapled structure, the consolidated financial statements referred to in paragraph (c) of the definition of stapled structure, orin relation to a multi-parent group that is a multi-parent group as a result of a dual-listed arrangement, the consolidated financial statements referred to in paragraph (d) of the definition of dual-listed arrangement.Chapter 9A<Addition

employees of a qualifying member of a multinational group in an accounting period is the full-time equivalent employee number for that member for that period.2To determine the full-time equivalent employee number for a member of a multinational group for an accounting period take the following steps—Step 1Determine the number of full-time employees of that member that were full-time employees for the whole of that period.Step 2Determine, for each employee of that member for that period who is not a full-time employee for the whole of that period (whether they were part-time employees or were not employed for the whole of the period), such fraction as is just and reasonable.Step 3Add together the number determined under Step 1 and the fractions determined under Step 2.If the member was a member of the group throughout the whole of the period, the result of this Step is the full-time equivalent employee number.Step 4Where the member was not a member of the group for the whole period, make such adjustments to the result of Step 3 as is just and reasonable to arrive at a full-time equivalent employee number that reflects the number of employees of the member in the period for which it was a member of the group.For the purpose of this Step, ignore section 208(2) (members joining or leaving group in an accounting period treated as members for the whole of the period).3For the purposes of this section “employee”, in relation to a member of a multinational group, means a person whose employment costs are met by that member (whether or not the person’s activities are carried on in the territory of the member) as recorded in appropriate financial statements of the member and who—ais regarded as an employee under the law of the territory in which the member is located, orbparticipates in the ordinary operating activities of the member of the group (including on a part-time basis).4For the purposes of subsection (3) financial statements are “appropriate” only if the basis on which they are prepared is consistent for all members of the group (wherever located).5For the purposes of section 229D (but not for the purposes of section 229E), where a member of a multinational group is a flow-through entity, employees of the entity—aare to be treated as employees of members of the group that are not flow-through entities that are located in

employees of a flow-through entity that are regarded for the purposes of this section as employees of a permanent establishment of the entity.7Where a permanent establishment does not prepare separate financial accounts, the reference in subsection (3) to employment costs recorded in financial statements is to the employment costs that would have been so recorded had such statements been prepared (and those costs are to be excluded from the financial statements of the main entity for the purposes of applying this section).<Addition ChangeId="key-9fb6e69a9d1806374c1e561501413569-1746707655280"

does not meet any of the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (c), andiithe income attributable to the place of business’s operations is exempted from tax by the territory of the main entity or, where the main entity is a flow-through entity, by the territory in which the reference entity (within the meaning of section 168) is located.2AFor the purposes of subsection (1)(a)—asection 240(2) (flow-through entities treated as stateless) is to be disregarded, andba flow-through entity that would otherwise be a stateless entity under section 240(2) is instead treated as located in the territory in which it is created.3For the purposes of this Part, a permanent establishment is to be treated as an entity distinct from the entity it is a permanent establishment of (whether that would otherwise be the case or not).3ABut an entity with a permanent establishment is not to be taken as having ownership interests in that permanent establishment.4In this section “place of business” means a place of business as construed in accordance with the OECD tax model, and includes a deemed place of business for the purpose of that model, a tax treaty or the domestic law of a territory.5In this Part, a reference to “the main entity” in relation to a permanent establishment is to be construed in accordance with this section.6See also section 232ZA (modifications that apply where legal main entity is distinct from main entity).<Addition ChangeId="key-cc81c2ca3840c1f26aa2193e1510bfcb-1777292364549" CommentaryRef="key-cc81c2ca3840c1f26aa2193e1510bfcb">Legal main entity distinct from main

establishment.2In section 127 (excluded entities), in subsection (5)(a) (definition of qualifying non-profit subsidiary), the reference to the main entity is to be read as a reference to the main entity and each legal main entity.3In section 135 (underlying profits of permament establishments)—ain subsection (1)(b) (underlying profits of permanent establishment that does not have separate financial accounts), the reference to the main entity is to be read as a reference to whichever of the main entity and the legal main entities is relevant to the attribution exercise under section 159;bin subsection (3) (permanent establishments within section 232(2)(d)), the references to the main entity are to be read as references to the main entity or any legal main entity;cin subsection (4) (no double counting between permanent establishment and main entity), the reference to the main entity is to be read as a reference to the main entity or any legal main entity.4In section 159 (permanent establishment income and expense attribution), the references to the main entity are to be read as references to whichever of the main entity and the legal main entities is relevant to the attribution exercise under the subsection in question.5In section 198 (eligible payroll costs etc: permanent establishments), in subsection (5) (double counting), the references to the main entity are to be read as references to any of the main entity and the legal main entities.6In section 236 (investment funds and investment entities), in subsection (1)(f)(ii) (regulatory regime condition), the reference to the main entity is to be read as a reference to a legal main entity.7In section 253 (disqualified and qualified refundable imputation taxes), in subsection (2)(a)(ii), the reference to

Part as continuing to be the same partnership regardless of a change in membership, provided that a person who was a member before the change remains a member after the change.2Where—aownership interests in a partnership are transferred to more than one individual or entity, andbthe result is a partnership of which none of the original partners are members,that new partnership is to be treated as if it were the same partnership as the old partnership.3Where a partnership is otherwise dissolved in an accounting period—athe partnership is to be treated as a continuing entity for the purpose of dealing with its rights and obligations under this Part in respect of that accounting period and previous accounting periods, andbfor the purposes of Schedule 14 (administration) each person who was a partner in that accounting period (before the partnership’s dissolution) is to be treated as a partner of the continuing entity.4The reference in subsection (2) to a transfer of ownership interests includes any series of transactions having the effect of a transfer (including by way of the cancellation of interests and the issue of corresponding interests).Treatment of protected cell companies2331For the purposes of this Part—aa protected cell company is not to be regarded as an entity, andbeach part of a protected cell company is to be treated as an entity distinct from the others.2Accordingly—athe fact an entity is a part of a protected cell company is irrelevant to determining whether it is a member of a consolidated group, andbthe accounts of the protected cell company are not to be regarded as consolidated financial statements.3In this Part—“protected cell company” means a protected cell company incorporated under Part 4 of the Risk Transformation Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/1212);a “part” of a protected cell company means its core or a cell of the company;“core” and “cell” have the meaning they have in those regulations.Governmental,

expenditure, profits or losses of the entity, for the purposes of covered taxes, as the income, expenditure, profits or losses of the direct owner of the entity in proportion to its interest in the entity.Provision relating to location of entitiesLocation of entities2391The normal rule for determining, for the purposes of this Part, the territory in which an entity is located is that—aif it is tax resident in a territory based on its place of management or place of creation, or based on similar criteria, it is located in that territory, orbif it is not tax resident in any territory based on such criteria, it is located in the territory in which it was created.2But subsection (1) does not apply to a flow-through entity or a permanent establishment (as to which, see section 240).3Where, in an accounting period, an entity is tax resident based on its place of management, place of creation or similar criteria in more than one territory and—aall of those territories are party to a tax treaty, andbfor the purposes of the treaty the entity is deemed resident in one of those territories,the entity is treated as located in that territory for that period.4Otherwise, where an entity is tax resident in an accounting period based on its place of management, place of creation or similar criteria in more than one territory—aif the entity has accrued more covered taxes in an accounting period in one of those territories than in the others, ignoring any taxes accrued in accordance with a controlled foreign company tax regime, it is to be treated as located in that territory for that period,bif paragraph (a) does not apply and the entity has a greater qualifying substance based income exclusion amount in one of those territories than in the others, it is to be treated as located in that territory for that period, orcif neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies—iif the entity is the ultimate parent of a multinational group, it is to be treated as being located in the place where it was created for that period, oriiotherwise, the entity is a stateless entity for that period.5For the purposes of subsection (4)(b) “the qualifying substance based income exclusion amount” for an entity for a period in a territory is—aif the substance based income exclusion is calculated for that period for that territory, the sum of the payroll carve-out amount and the tangible asset carve-out amount as would be determined under section 195(1) for the entity for that period if the entity were located in that territory, andbif the substance based income exclusion is not calculated for that period for that territory, nil.6Where—aan entity is not (ignoring this subsection) subject to Pillar Two IIR tax within the meaning of section 128,bit is tax resident based on its place of management, place of creation or similar criteria in the United Kingdom,cas a result of the application of subsection ... (4) it is treated as not being located in the United Kingdom, anddif it were located in the United Kingdom, it would be a responsible member of a multinational group,the entity is instead to be treated as located in the United Kingdom for the purposes of sections 122 , 128 and 129 of this Part (but not otherwise).7For the purposes of this Part—a. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .bwhere an entity’s location changes during an accounting period, it is to be treated as being located in the territory it was located, or was treated as being located, at the start of that period.8As regards stateless entities see also section 132(3)(b) (stateless member of group treated as located in its own nominal territory).Location of flow-through entities and permanent establishments2401Where a flow-through entity is the ultimate parent of a multinational group, or would be a responsible member of a multinational group if the entity were located in the territory in which it is created, the entity is treated as located in the territory in which it is created.2Any other flow-through entity is a stateless entity.3A permanent establishment that is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (a) of section 232(2) (entity treated as permanent establishment in accordance with tax treaty) is located in the territory where it is treated as a permanent establishment in accordance with the tax treaty in accordance with which it is treated as a permanent establishment.4A permanent establishment that is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (b) of section 232(2) (permanent establishment taxed on similar basis to residents in absence of tax treaty) is located in the territory where it is subject to net basis taxation based on its business presence.5A permanent establishment that is a a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (c) of section 232(2) (permanent establishment located in territory without corporate income tax) is located in the territory in which it is situated.6A permanent establishment that is a permanent establishment falling within paragraph (d) of section 232(2) (other permanent establishments) is a stateless entity.Pillar Two territories2411In this Part “Pillar Two territory” means the United Kingdom and every other territory specified as such in , or in accordance with, regulations made by the Treasury.1ARegulations may provide for the specification of a territory to be made by notice published by the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs in accordance with the regulations.2Regulations , or a notice, may only specify a territory as a Pillar Two territory if the appropriate authority considers that provisions which implement the provisions of the Pillar Two rules relating to top-up tax under the IIR (within the meaning of those rules)—ahave effect under the law of that territory, orbwill have effect under the law of that territory on or before the specification has effect.2AThe “appropriate authority” means—ain relation to the specification of a territory in regulations, the Treasury, orbin relation to the specification of a territory made by notice, the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.3Regulations under this section may provide for the specification of a territory ... to have effect from a time before the territory was specified (but may not provide for the specification of a territory to cease to have effect in relation to accounting periods commencing before the regulations are made).4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Ownership of entitiesOwnership interests and controlling interests2421In this Part “ownership interest” means a direct ownership interest or an indirect ownership interest.2An entity or an individual (“A”) has a direct ownership interest in an entity (“B”) if—aA has an interest (whether by way of shares, other security or otherwise) that gives rise to a share of the profits, capital or reserves of B or of a permanent establishment of B (whether on the making of a distribution of profits, winding up or otherwise), andbthat interest is accounted for as equity in—iwhere B is a member of a consolidated group, the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent of the group (ignoring any requirement to consolidate the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of B in those statements), oriiotherwise, B’s financial statements.3An entity or an individual (“C”) has an indirect ownership interest in an entity (“D”) if C has a direct ownership interest in—aan entity that has a direct ownership interest in D, orban entity that has (as a result of the single or repeated application of this subsection) an indirect ownership interest in D.4An entity (“R”) has a controlling interest in another entity (“S”) if condition A or B is met.5Condition A is that as a result of an ownership interest R has in S—aR is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of S on a line-by-line basis in accordance with an acceptable ... accounting standard, orbR would have been required to do so if R had prepared consolidated financial statements.6Condition B is that S is a permanent establishment of R.Calculating percentage ownership interests of a specific entity or individual2431For the purpose of determining the percentage ownership interests in an entity (“A”) held by a specific entity or individual (“B”)—aignore any indirect ownership interest not held by B, andbwhere B has an indirect ownership interest in A, reduce the direct ownership interest from which it is derived by the amount of that indirect ownership interest.2But this section does not apply for the purpose of any provision that requires the calculation of direct ownership interests only.Calculating percentage ownership interests of a class2441For the purpose of determining the percentage of ownership interests in an entity (“A”) held by a class of entities (“B”)—aignore any indirect ownership interest required to be ignored as described in subsection (2), andbreduce any percentage direct ownership interest required to be reduced in accordance with subsection (3).2An indirect ownership interest is to be ignored if—ait is an indirect ownership interest held by an individual or by an entity that is not a member of B, orbit is an indirect ownership interest held by a member of B through another entity that is a member of B.3Where a member of B holds an indirect ownership interest in A solely through an entity, or entities, that are not members of B, the direct ownership interest from which it is derived is to be reduced by the amount of that indirect ownership interest.4This section does not apply—afor the purpose of any provision that requires the calculation of direct ownership interests only, orbfor the purposes of section 127(6)(a) and (7)(a) (whether an entity is 95% or 85% owned by qualifying excluded entities).Calculating percentage ownership interests: excluded entities2451For the purpose of determining, under section 127(6)(a) and (7)(a), the percentage of ownership interests in an entity (“A”) held by qualifying excluded entities—aignore any indirect ownership interest apart from ownership interests held solely through one or more qualifying service entities or qualifying exempt income entities, andbignore any direct or indirect ownership interest required to be ignored as described in subsection (2).2Where an individual or an entity holds an indirect ownership interest in A solely through an entity, or entities, that are qualifying service entities or qualifying exempt income entities, each direct and indirect ownership interest from which it is derived is to be ignored.Calculating percentage direct and indirect ownership interests2461To determine the percentage of direct ownership interest an entity or individual (“E”) has in an entity (“F”)—aadd together the proportional entitlement of E to the following types of interest that are relevant—ian interest that gives rise to a share of profits of F,iian interest that gives rise to a share of the capital of F, andiiian interest that gives rise to a share of the reserves of F, andbif—iF issues all of those types of interest and all of those types are relevant, divide the result of paragraph (a) by 3, oriiF only issues 2 of the relevant types of interest or there are only 2 types of interest that are relevant and F issues both of them, divide the result of paragraph (a) by 2.2For the purposes of subsection (1)—awhere a provision under which a percentage of ownership interests is to be determined refers to types of interest mentioned in those sub-paragraphs, the types referred to are “relevant”, andbwhere such a provision does not refer to types of interest mentioned in sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of subsection (1)(a), all of those types of interest are “relevant”.3To determine the percentage indirect ownership interest an entity or individual (“G”) has in an entity (“H”)—adetermine the percentage indirect ownership interest arising as a result of each stack through which it has an indirect ownership interest in H, andbadd those percentage indirect ownership interests for those stacks together.4For the purposes of subsection (3) a “stack” means a chain of entities through which G has an indirect ownership interest in H which is comprised of an entity (“J”) which has a direct ownership interest in H and—awhere G has a direct ownership interest in J, G, orbwhere G does not have a direct ownership interest in J—iG,iian entity (“K”) which has a direct ownership interest in J and that G has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, andiiiwhere G does not have a direct ownership interest in K, an entity which has a direct ownership interest in K and that G has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, and so on until an entity is reached that G has a direct ownership interest in.5To determine G’s percentage indirect ownership interest in H arising as a result of a stack—adetermine, in accordance with subsection (1)—iJ’s percentage direct ownership interest in H, andiithe percentage direct ownership interest each other member of the stack has in the member of the stack it has a direct ownership interest in, andbmultiply together the percentage direct ownership interests determined under paragraph (a).Timing of transfers of interests2471Where ownership interests in an entity are transferred from one entity or individual to another entity or individual, that transfer is to be treated as effective at the earlier of—athe time when the obligations of the parties to the transfer necessary to effect the transfer have been met, andbthe time when any of the substantive consideration for the transfer has been provided,(instead of at any other time).2In subsection (1)(b) the reference to “substantive consideration” means any amount of the consideration for the transfer other than any amount provided before the transfer which would not be refundable if the transfer did not take place as a result of the transferee not meeting its obligations under the arrangements to make the transfer.Exclusion of indirect interests held through ultimate parent248For the purposes of determining whether an entity or individual has an indirect ownership interest in a member of a multinational group (other than the ultimate parent), ignore any indirect interests arising only as a result of an ownership interest in the ultimate parent.Financial statements and accounting periodConsolidated financial statements2491The consolidated financial statements of an entity are—awhere the entity is not the ultimate parent of a consolidated group whose only members are that entity and its permanent establishments, the financial statements prepared by the entity in accordance with acceptable accounting standards in which the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of that entity and the entities it has a controlling interest in are presented as those of a single economic unit,bwhere the entity is the ultimate parent of a consolidated group whose only members are that entity and its permanent establishments, the financial accounts of that entity that are prepared in accordance with an acceptable accounting standard,cwhere the entity has prepared statements that would fall within paragraph (a) or (b) but they were not prepared in accordance with an acceptable accounting standard, those statements but adjusted to prevent material competitive distortions, ordwhere no statements were prepared falling within paragraphs (a) to (c), the statements that would have been prepared (whether or not the entity was required to prepare such statements) in accordance with an authorised accounting standard that is either—ian acceptable accounting standard, oriia financial accounting standard whose application is adjusted to prevent material competitive distortions.2But subsection (1)(d) is not to be taken as imposing a requirement to consolidate entities where that is not required, or is not permitted, by the authorised accounting standard that is used as the basis for the statements that would have been prepared.3“Authorised accounting standard” in relation to an entity means a set of generally acceptable accounting principles permitted by the body responsible for prescribing, establishing or accepting accounting standards for financial reporting purposes in the territory the entity is located in.4There are “competitive distortions” in accounts not prepared in accordance with an acceptable accounting standard if the result of the application of one or more specific principles or procedures under the standard under which it was prepared results in differences between—athe treatment of items in those accounts, andbthe treatment of those items in accounts prepared in accordance with the corresponding principles or procedures under international financial reporting standards.5Competitive distortions are “material” if the sum of the differences between the treatment of items in the accounts referred to in subsection (4) exceeds 75 million euros.Acceptable accounting standards2501In this Part “acceptable accounting standards” means—aUK GAAP,bacceptable overseas GAAP, orcinternational financial reporting standards.2“UK GAAP”—ameans generally accepted accounting practice in relation to accounts of UK companies (other than accounts prepared in accordance with international accounting standards or international financial reporting standards) that are intended to give a true and fair view, andbhas the same meaning in relation to entities other than companies, and companies that are not UK companies, as it has in relation to UK companies.3“Acceptable overseas GAAP” means the generally accepted accounting practice and principles of any of the following—Australia;Brazil;Canada;an EEA state;the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People‘s Republic of China;Japan;Mexico;New Zealand;the People’s Republic of China;the Republic of India;the Republic of Korea;Singapore;Switzerland;the United States of America.4The Treasury may by regulations amend subsection (3) to add or remove territories.5In this section “UK companies” means companies incorporated or formed under the law of a part of the United Kingdom.Accounting periods2511The general rule is that reference to an accounting period in relation to a multinational group, or any member of that group, is to an accounting period for which the ultimate parent prepares its consolidated financial statements.2Where the ultimate parent does not prepare consolidated financial statements, references to accounting periods are to the period of a year commencing on 1 January.3But—awhere an accounting period (“the default period”) has started as a result of the rule in subsection (2), but the ultimate parent prepares consolidated financial statements during the default period for a period commencing with a date after the start of the default period, the default period is to end immediately before that date, andbwhere the ultimate parent had previously prepared consolidated financial statements for accounting periods, the accounting period that follows the last period for which it had prepared consolidated financial statements begins immediately after that last period and ends immediately before 1 January in the following year.<Addition

report” means a country-by-country report in respect of a multinational group that is prepared and filed in accordance with legislation implementing the OECD’s guidance on country-by-country reporting.2But where the legislation of a territory permits the preparation and filing of a partial country-by country report, such a partial report is not to be regarded as country-by-country report for the purposes of this Part.3Reference to a country-by-country report in respect of a multinational group that is a multi-parent group is to a report in respect of all of the constituent groups.4“The OECD’s guidance on country-by-country reporting” means the guidance on country-by-country reporting contained in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Guidance on Transfer Pricing Documentation and Country-by-Country Reporting, published in 2014, as modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time.MiscellaneousApplication to sovereign wealth funds2521A sovereign wealth fund that would, ignoring this subsection, be the ultimate parent of a multinational group is not to be regarded as the ultimate parent of that group and is to be ignored for the purposes of this Part.2Accordingly, an entity (“A”) in which such a sovereign wealth fund has a controlling interest as a result of direct ownership interests is to be regarded as the ultimate parent of a consolidated group consisting of—aitself, andbthe entities that A has a controlling interest in.3For the purposes of this section “sovereign wealth fund” means an entity which is a governmental entity for the purposes of this Part as a result of meeting the condition in section 234(1)(b)(ii).Disqualified and qualified refundable imputation taxes2531An amount of tax payable by a member of a multinational group is “disqualified refundable imputation tax” if—ait is—i as a result of a dividend made by the member, refundable to the beneficial owner of the dividend,iicreditable by the beneficial owner of such a dividend against a tax liability other than a tax liability in respect of that dividend, oriiirefundable to an entity upon the distribution of a dividend, andbit is not qualified refundable imputation tax.2An amount of tax payable by a member of a multinational group is “qualified refundable imputation tax” to the extent—ait is refundable or creditable to the beneficial owner of a dividend distributed by—ithe member, oriiwhere the member is a permanent establishment, the main entity, andbthe refund is payable, or the credit is provided—iunder a foreign tax credit regime by a territory other than the territory that imposed the tax on the member,iito a beneficial owner of the dividend subject to tax in the territory imposing the tax payable by the member,

carried out in the currency of the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent (“the CFS currency”).2Where it is necessary to convert an amount into the CFS currency, that conversion is to be made in accordance with the authorised accounting standard—athat was used in preparing the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent, orbwhere no such statements were prepared, that is used as the basis for the statements that would have been prepared.3For the purpose of comparing an amount to a figure expressed in this Part in euros, the amount is to be converted to euros for that purpose (from the CFS currency) by reference to the average exchange rate for the month of December that preceded the beginning of the accounting period to which the amount relates.4Where the European Central Bank publishes exchange rates for the CFS currency, use those rates for the purposes of the conversion under subsection (3) and any conversion under subsection (3) of section 123 (amount charged by reference to top-up amounts).5Otherwise—awhere the Bank of England publishes exchange rates for the CFS currency, use those rates for the purposes of that conversion, orbwhere the Bank of England does not publish exchange rates for that currency, use such a rate as appears, on a just and reasonable basis, to reflect the average exchange rate for the period in question.Pillar Two rules2551In this Part references to the “Pillar Two rules” are to the Pillar Two model rules as interpreted in accordance with, and supplemented by—athe Pillar Two commentary, andbany further commentaries or guidance published from time to time by the OECD that are relevant to the implementation of the Pillar Two model rules.2In subsection (1)—“Pillar Two model rules” means the model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development as “Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two): Inclusive Framework on BEPS”;“Pillar Two commentary” means the following—the commentary on the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development as “Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – Commentary to the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two)”, andthe examples illustrating the application of the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development as “Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two) Examples”.2APillar Two rules apply to a member of a multinational group (“the relevant member”) in an accounting period if conditions A, B and C are met.3 Condition A is met if— athe group is a qualifying multinational group for the accounting period, orbthe group would be a qualifying multinational group for the accounting period but is not only as a result of Condition B in section 129(3) (requirement that at least one member located in the United Kingdom).4Condition B is that—athe ultimate parent is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax for the accounting period and is not located in the same territory as the relevant member,ban intermediate parent member of the group is subject to Pillar Two IIR tax for the accounting period, is not located in the same territory as the relevant member and has an ownership interest in—ithe relevant member, oriia member of the group located in the same territory as the relevant member, orcany member of the group is located in a territory in which a qualifying undertaxed profits tax is in force for the accounting period.5Condition C is that no transitional safe harbour election applies to the relevant member for that period.6For the purposes of this Part “transitional safe harbour election” means—aan election under paragraph 3 of Schedule 16 (transitional safe harbour), orban election corresponding to that election for the purposes of a tax imposed by a Pillar Two territory that is equivalent to multinational top-up tax so far as it relates to top-up tax under the IIR (within the meaning of the Pillar Two rules).Qualifying domestic top-up tax2561For the purposes of this Part a tax is a “qualifying domestic top-up tax” if it is—adomestic top-up tax (see Part 4), orbspecified in , or in accordance with, regulations made by the Treasury.1ARegulations may provide for the specification of a tax to be made by notice published by the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs in accordance with the regulations.2A tax may only be specified in regulations , or a notice, if the appropriate authority considers that it is equivalent in substance to domestic top-up tax (see Part 4).2AThe “appropriate authority” means—ain relation to the specification of a tax in regulations, the Treasury, orbin relation to the specification of a tax made by notice, the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.3A tax may be considered equivalent to domestic top-up tax despite being not being calculated in accordance with the financial accounting standard used in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent if calculated in accordance with an authorised accounting standard that is either—aan acceptable accounting standard, orbanother financial accounting standard that is adjusted to prevent material competitive distortions.4Regulations under this section may provide for the specification of a tax ... to have effect from a time before the tax was specified (but may not provide for

qualifying domestic tax accruing to a member of a multinational group is to be treated as not accruing to the member where the enforceability of the amount is in question.3For the purposes of this section, the enforceability of an amount of qualifying domestic top-up tax accruing to a member of a multinational group is in question if—athe member disputes its enforceability on any of the grounds set out in subsection (4), orbthe tax authority of the territory in which the qualifying domestic top-up tax is imposed considers the amount unenforceable on the basis of any of those grounds.4Those grounds are that—athe amount is unenforceable on constitutional grounds or as a result of other superior law applying in the territory in which the qualifying domestic top-up tax is imposed, orbthe amount is unenforceable as a result of a specific agreement with the government of that territory as to the tax liability of the member or the group.5Subsection (2) ceases to apply where the enforceability of an amount of qualifying domestic top-up tax ceases to be in question.6Where the enforceability of an amount of qualifying domestic top-up tax was in question, it ceases to be in question where—athe amount has been paid, andbthe enforceability of the amount may no longer be disputed as a result of—ia settlement,iithe time for any appeal having passed and there being no reasonable prospect of the time being extended, oriiithe exhaustion of any rights to appeal.Qualifying undertaxed profits tax2571For the purposes of this Part a tax is a “qualifying undertaxed profits tax” if it is — amultinational top-up tax (see, in particular, Chapter 9A), orbspecified in regulations made by the Treasury.1ARegulations under subsection (1)(b) may provide for the specification of a tax to be made by notice published by the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs in accordance with the regulations.2 A person may only specify a tax by virtue of this section if the person considers that the tax is an appropriate means of implementing the UTPR (within the meaning of the Pillar Two rules).3Regulations under this section may provide that the specification of a tax is to have effect from a time before the regulations are made (but may not provide that the specification of a tax previously specified ceases to have effect before the regulations are made).Meaning

relation to an amount of covered taxes, exists where the amount as reflected in the underlying profits accounts is different to how it is, or will be, reflected in a tax return because of uncertainty over whether the tax authority in question will accept the basis on which it is reflected in that return.2For the purposes of this Part, an individual is “tax resident” in a territory if—ain the case of the United Kingdom, the individual is resident for income tax purposes, andbin any other territory, the individual is resident for the purposes of a tax on income imposed under the law of that

accounting periods commencing on or after 31 December 2023.Part 4Domestic top-up taxChapter 1IntroductionIntroduction to domestic top-up tax2651The purpose of this Part is to make provision for a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax within the meaning of the Pillar Two rules.2For that purpose, this Part makes provision for a tax payable in respect of qualifying entities (that will be located in the United Kingdom) whose rate of tax (as determined in accordance with this Part) is less than 15%.3The tax is to be known as “domestic top-up tax”.4This Part applies (with modifications) many of the provisions of Part 3 (multinational top-up tax) for the purposes of—adetermining liability to domestic top-up tax, andbadministering domestic top-up tax.5Except where the contrary appears, expressions used in this Part and in Part 3 (multinational top-up tax) have the same meaning in this Part as they have in Part 3.Qualifying entities2661An entity which is not a member of a joint venture group is qualifying for an accounting period if it is not a DTT excluded entity ..., it meets condition A for that period and—aif it is not a member of a group, it meets condition B for that period, orbif it is a member of a group, it meets condition C for that period.1AA member of a joint venture group is a qualifying entity for an accounting period if—athe member is not a DTT excluded entity,bthe member meets condition A for that period, andcthe revenue condition is met in relation to the group for that period.1BFor the purposes of subsection (1A) the “revenue condition” is met in relation to a joint venture group for an accounting period if—aa single entity which directly or indirectly holds at least 50% of the ownership interests in the joint venture parent meets Condition A and Condition B for that period, orbthe members of a group (the “relevant group”) whose ultimate parent directly or indirectly holds at least 50% of the ownership interests in the joint venture parent meet Condition C for that period and—iall of those members are located in the United Kingdom, oriithe relevant group is a multinational group (see section 126 in Part 3), and at least one of the members is located in a Pillar Two territory.2Condition A is met by an entity for an accounting period if it is located in the United Kingdom in that period (see section 239 in Part 3).3Condition B is met by an entity for an accounting period if the entity has revenue that exceeds the threshold set out in subsection (6) in at least 2 previous accounting periods of the previous 4 accounting periods.4For the purposes of condition B, the revenue of an entity that is not a member of a group is to be determined by reference to its qualifying financial statements.5Condition C is met by a member of a group for an accounting period if the members of the group have revenue that exceeds the threshold set out in subsection (6) in at least 2 previous accounting periods of the previous 4 accounting periods.6The threshold for an accounting period is the amount given by multiplying 750 million euros by the amount given by dividing the number of days in the accounting period by 365.7For the purposes of condition C, the revenue of the members of a group for a period is to be determined by reference to the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent for that period (see sections 126(2) and 249 in Part 3).8Sections 130 and 131 in Part 3 (change in composition of multinational groups) apply for the purpose of Condition C as if—areferences to “multinational group” were to “group”,bin section 130—iin subsection (1), for “condition A in section 129(2)” there were substituted “condition C in section 266(5)”,iiin subsection (4), for “section 129(4)” there were

266(5)”9References in this Part to a “group” (other than in the expression “multinational group”) means a consolidated group (see section 126(2) in Part 3).10For the purposes of this Part “qualifying financial statements” in relation to an entity means—afinancial statements of the entity prepared in accordance with acceptable accounting standards, orbwhere no such accounts were prepared, the statements that would have been prepared (whether or not the entity was required to prepare such statements) in accordance with an authorised accounting standard that is either—ian acceptable accounting standard, oriia financial accounting standard whose application is adjusted to prevent material competitive distortions (see section 249(4)).DTT excluded entities2671An entity is a DTT excluded entity if—ait falls within subsection (3) of section 127 in Part 3 (excluded entities),bit is a member of a multinational group and falls within subsection (4) of that section, orcit is a member of a group that is not a multinational group, but would fall within that subsection if that group were a multinational group.1AA UK REIT is a DTT excluded entity (so far as would not already be the case by virtue of subsection (1)(b) or (c)).2A DTT excluded entity falling within subsection (1) or (3B)(b) (as well as not being a qualifying entity) is, for the purposes of the provisions of this Part other than section 266 and this section, to be treated as not being a member of any group.3A qualifying transformer vehicle that is not a member of a multinational group is also a DTT excluded entity.3ZAA company is a DTT excluded entity if—ait is a qualifying asset holding company for the purposes of Schedule 2 to FA 2022, andbis not a member of a multinational group.3AA securitisation company that is not a member of a group for the purposes of domestic top-up tax is a DTT excluded entity (and see section 267A).3BAn investment entity is a DTT excluded entity if—ait is not a member of a group, orbit is a member of group that is comprised only of members located in the United Kingdom.3C Where an investment entity is a member of a group that is not comprised only of members located in the United Kingdom—a that entity is not to be regarded as a qualifying entity, butbtop-up amounts of that entity are to be determined under sections 220 to 224 (see also section 272(3A) which has the effect of attributing those amounts to standard members of the group that are qualifying entities and are located in the same territory as the investment entity).3DAn investment entity that falls within subsection (3C) is not to be regarded as a member of any group for any purpose other than for the purposes of—adetermining the top-up amounts of that entity under those sections,bapplying Condition C in section 266 in relation to other members of the group (revenue threshold for group), andcsubsections ... (9), (10) and (11) of section 272 and the section 193A(2) contained in subsection (3A) of that section.4In this section “qualifying transformer vehicle” means— a qualifying transformer vehicle within the meaning of the Risk Transformation (Tax) Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/1271), ora part of a protected cell company that is a qualifying transformer vehicle within the meaning of those Regulations; “securitisation company” has the meaning it has in the Taxation of Securitisation Companies Regulations 2006 (see regulation 4). <Addition ChangeId="key-84f0d6026f32fa199167f9f6c034e0d4-1716384393112"

member of a group, the amount (if any) the person must pay is determined as follows—Step 1Determine (in accordance with section 272)—whether the entity has a top-up amount for that period, andthe extent of any such amount.Step 2If the result of Step 1 is not expressed in sterling, convert the result of that Step to sterling.1Where a person is chargeable to domestic top-up tax for an accounting period as or in respect of a qualifying entity which is not a member of a group, the amount (if any) the person must pay is determined as follows—Step 1Determine (in accordance with section 273) whether the entity has any top-up amounts or additional top-up amounts for that period and the extent of those amounts.Step 2Determine the sum of those amounts.Step 3If the result of Step 3 is not expressed in sterling, convert the result of that Step to sterling.2Generally, a qualifying entity will have a top-up amount for an accounting period if it has profits for a period and its effective tax rate (or, where it is a member of a group, that of its group) is less than 15%.3Chapter 3 of this Part makes provision, principally by applying (with modifications) provisions in Part 3, for determining—athe effective tax rate of a qualifying entity by reference—iin the case of an entity that is a member of a group, to the profits of, and the taxes payable by, members of the group that are located in the United Kingdom, oriiin the case of an entity that is not a member of a group, to its profits and to the taxes payable by that entity.bthose profits,cwhich taxes (referred to as “covered taxes”) are to be considered in the determining effective tax rates,dtop-up amounts, andeadditional top-up amounts.4The exchange rate to be used for a conversion to sterling required by Step 2 in subsection (A1) or Step 3 in subsection (1) is—athe average exchange rate published by the European Central Bank for the accounting period in question;bwhere no such rate is published by the European Central Bank, the average exchange rate published by the Bank of England for the accounting period in question;cwhere no such rate is published by either the European Central Bank or the Bank of England, such rate as appears, on a just and reasonable basis, to reflect the average exchange rate for the accounting period in question.Election to make one member of a group liable for amounts charged2711Where multiple members of a group are chargeable to domestic top-up tax in an accounting period, the filing member of the group may elect that only one member of the group specified in the election (the “elected member”) is to be liable to pay domestic top-up tax in that period.2Where an election under this section is made—ano member of the group other than the elected member is required to pay any amount by way of domestic top-up tax, andbthe elected member must pay any amount by way of domestic top-up tax any other member of the group would have been required to pay if the election had not been made.3Subsection (2) does not apply if the elected member has not consented to the election.4Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under this section, and has effect for that purpose as if references to an information return or overseas return notification were to a self-assessment return or below-threshold notification.Chapter 3Application

determining the same for the purposes of multinational top-up tax.2Where the group is not a multinational group, that Part has effect for domestic purposes as if any reference to a multinational group were to a group.3Part 3 has effect for those purposes as if the following provisions (which provide for reductions of top-up amounts where a qualifying domestic top-up tax is payable) were omitted—ain section 194, subsections (2) to (7);bin section 203, subsections (3) to (7);cin section 206, subsections (4) to (8).3APart 3 has effect for those purposes as if the following sections were substituted

group has a top-up amount, andbif so, what the amount is.2Take the following Steps—Step 1Determine for the period (in accordance with section 272) the sum of any top-up amounts and additional top-up amounts of standard members of the group (the “total top-up amount”).Step 2Determine for each such member—the adjusted profits (if any);the covered tax balance.Step 3For each standard member of the group in relation to which a positive amount of adjusted profits is determined under Step 2, determine the “effective tax rate” by dividing the amount found under Step 2(b) (covered tax balance) by the amount found under Step 2(a) (adjusted profits).Step 4For any standard member of the group whose effective tax rate (see Step 3) is less than 15%—determine that member’s “top-up tax percentage” by subtracting the member’s effective tax rate from 15%, andproceed to Step 5.Step 5Calculate for the member an amount (an “allocation key amount”) by multiplying—the member’s top-up tax percentage (see Step 4(a)), bythe member’s adjusted profits.Step 6Determine the sum (the “group allocation key amount”) of all the allocation key amounts calculated under Step 5 for members of the group.Step 7Determine the “allocation key ratio” for each standard member of the group whose effective tax rate (see Step 3) is less than 15%, by dividing—the member’s allocation key amount (see Step 5), bythe group allocation key amount (see Step 6).Step 8Determine each such member’s top-up amount by multiplying—the sum of any top-up amounts and additional top-up amounts of standard members of the group

apply to groups and their members.2Section 193 has effect in relation to a qualifying entity that is a standard member of a group as if the total top-up amount referred to in that section included any top-up amounts or additional top-up amounts of qualifying investment entities determined under sections 220 to 224.3See also subsections (9) to (11) of section 272, which—adefine “qualifying investment entity” in relation to a qualifying entity, andbmake further provision about top-up amounts (for the purposes of domestic top-up tax).4The following provisions of Part 3 are of no practical application for domestic purposes and accordingly that Part has effect for those purposes as if they were omitted—asection 173(1)(b) and sections 189 to 192 (eligible distribution tax systems);bsection 225 (attribution of top-up amounts of investment entities).cChapter 9A (qualifying undertaxed profits tax).5Where—aan election is made under Part 3 in relation to a member of a multinational group (whether or not a qualifying entity) for the purposes of multinational top-up tax, andbif the election had effect for domestic purposes, it would affect the calculation of top-up amounts or additional top-up amounts,that election has effect for domestic purposes.6For the purposes of subsection (5), a foreign IIR election is to be treated as an election made under Part 3.7A “foreign IIR election” means an election—amade in respect of a group in connection with a tax equivalent to multinational top-up tax in another Pillar Two territory;bcontained in an information return—isubmitted to a qualifying authority in that territory, andiiin relation to which information in the return about the election has been shared with HMRC.8For domestic purposes—asection 134 (underlying profits as determined for statements of ultimate parent) has effect as if, after subsection (3), there were inserted—3AThe conditions in subsection (3) are not required to be met if—athe alternative accounting standard is UK GAAP,ball members of the group are located in the United Kingdom, andcthe filing member of the group has made an election in a self-assessment return that the underlying profits of all members of the group are to be determined on the basis of UK GAAP.3BParagraph 1 of Schedule 15 (long term elections) applies to an election under subsection (3A), and has

or 188CB of that Act by virtue of the group condition being met (see sections 132 and 188CE of that Act);ba group relief payment is “excluded” so far as it exceeds 15% of the agreed loss amounts (within the meaning of section 183 or 188FA of that Act, as the case may be) to which the group relief payment relates.4It follows from subsection (1)(e) that a group relief payment, so far as not excluded, operates to reduce the covered tax balance of the recipient.bsection 176 (amounts to be reflected in covered tax balance) has effect as if, for subsection (2)(i) (amounts allocated from another member of the group), there were substituted—iany amount allocated to the member from another member of the group under section 178(1) (reallocation of tax expense).;csection 178 (reallocation of tax expense) has effect as if—i for subsection (1A) there were substituted—1ABut qualifying tax expense in respect of tax imposed by a territory other than the United Kingdom is not to be allocated

for that period is greater than nil as a result of the modification of that section set out in subsection (3A), andbnone of those members have made a profit for that period (and accordingly will not,

qualifying entity that is not a member of a group has top-up amounts or additional top-up amounts, and the extent of those amounts, as they apply for the purpose of determining the same for the purposes of multinational top-up tax.2Chapter 3 of that Part has effect for domestic entity purposes as if for section 132 there were substituted—Effective tax rate132The effective tax rate of a qualifying entity that is not a member of a group is determined as follows—Step 1Determine, in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 3, the adjusted profits for that period of that entity.Step 2If, on determining those adjusted profits, the entity has not made a profit, the effective tax rate is to be treated as 15%. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3.Step 3Determine the covered tax balance of the entity for the period (which may be negative) in accordance with Chapter 5 of Part 3.Step 4If that balance is nil the effective tax rate is 0%. Otherwise, proceed to Step 5.Step 5Divide the covered tax balance by the adjusted profits.Step 6Except where Step 2 or 4 applies, the effective tax rate of the entity is X%, where X (which will be negative if the covered tax balance is negative) is the result of Step 5 multiplied by 100 and rounded to the nearest fourth decimal place (if it would otherwise have more than four).3That Part has effect for domestic entity purposes as if—areferences to “member of a multinational group” (however framed and including references to multiple members) were to “qualifying entity”;bany reference

Part has effect in relation to accounting periods commencing on or after 31 December 2023. Part 5 Electricity generator levy Introduction and chargeCharge on exceptional generation receipts 279 1 If a qualifying generating undertaking has exceptional generation receipts for a qualifying period, that undertaking is liable to pay a charge equal to 45% of those exceptional receipts. 2 The charge is referred to in this Part as the “electricity generator levy”. 3 A generating undertaking is “qualifying” in a qualifying period if generation attributed to it under this Part (see section 282, but also sections 294 to 297) for that period exceeds the levy threshold. 4 The levy threshold for a qualifying period is— a where the period is a year, 50,000 megawatt hours, or b where the period is shorter than a year, that number of megawatt hours multiplied by the amount given by dividing the number of days in the period by 365. 5 To determine if a generating undertaking has exceptional generation receipts for a qualifying period and (if so) the amount of those receipts, take the following steps— Step 1 (attribute generation receipts) Determine the amount of generation receipts to be attributed to the undertaking for the period in accordance with section 283. Step 2 (determine the maximum amount of receipts that would not be exceptional) Multiply the amount of electricity generation (expressed in megawatt hours) attributed to the undertaking for the period (see section 282) by the benchmark amount (see section 281). Step 3 (determine whether undertaking has receipts that exceed that amount) Subtract the result of Step 2 from the amount determined under Step 1. If the result of this Step is nil or less, the undertaking does not have any exceptional generation receipts (otherwise, carry on to Step 4). Step 4 (subtract allowable costs) Determine the amount of allowable costs (if any) to be attributed to the undertaking for the period (see section 284) and subtract that amount from the result of Step 3. If the result of this Step is nil or less, the undertaking does not have any exceptional generation receipts (otherwise, carry on to Step 5). Step 5 (apply revenue allowance) Subtract the revenue allowance for the period from the result of Step 4. Step 6 (result of Step 5 is amount of exceptional generation receipts unless negative) If the result of Step 5 is nil or less, the undertaking does not have any exceptional generation receipts. Otherwise, the amount of exceptional generation receipts the undertaking has for the period is the result of Step 5. 6 For the purposes of Step 5, the revenue allowance for a generating undertaking for a qualifying period is— a where the period is a year, £10 million, or b where the period is shorter than a year, £10 million multiplied by the amount given by dividing the number of days in the period by 365. 7 Other provisions in this Part may affect the determination of exceptional generation receipts, including— a section 293, which contains provision attributing amounts from a joint venture to its participants, b sections 294 and 295, which contain provision that attributes generation to participants in a joint venture in certain circumstances, c sections 296 and 297, which contain provision that attributes generation to significant minority shareholders in a generating undertaking in certain circumstances, and d section 308, which contains anti-avoidance provision. Key concepts (generating undertaking etc)2801In this Part—“company” has the meaning it has in the Corporation Tax Acts (see section 1121 of CTA 2010);“generating undertaking” means—a company, other than a company that is a member of a group, that operates a relevant generating station, ora group of companies that includes at least one member who operates a relevant generating station;a generating station is “relevant”—if it generates electricity at a relevant place and is not a generating station that mainly generates electricity—as a result of the burning of oil, coal or natural gas, oras a result of the use of plant driven by water, where the power is mainly a result of the hydrostatic head of the water having been increased by pumping, ...to the extent that it is not subject to—a contract for difference within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Energy Act 2013 (contracts for difference),an investment contract within the meaning of Schedule 2 to that Act (investment contracts),a revenue collection contract within the meaning of Part 2 of the Nuclear Energy (Financing) Act 2022 (revenue collection contracts), orfeed-in tariff export payments , and to the extent it is not comprised of qualifying new generating plant (see section 311A); “relevant place” means a place in—the United Kingdom,the territorial sea of the United Kingdom, ora Renewable Energy Zone within the meaning of Part 2 of the Energy Act 2004 (see section 84(4) of that Act);a generating station is “subject”—to a contract for difference or an investment contract to the extent that its output may give rise to payments under such an instrument, andto feed-in tariff export payments to the extent its output gives rise to such payments, andto a revenue collection contract if the station is the subject of such a contract.2References in this Part to a “qualifying period” in relation to a generating undertaking means—athe period, if any, between the beginning of 1 January 2023 and the commencement of the first accounting period of the undertaking that commences on or after 1 January 2023,bthe first accounting period of the undertaking commencing on or after 1 January 2023,cevery subsequent accounting period of the undertaking that ends on or before 31 March 2028, anddthe period, if any, between the end of the last accounting period ending on or before 31 March 2028 and the end of 31 March 2028.3References in this Part to an “accounting period” are—ain relation to a company within the charge to corporation tax, to an accounting period for the purposes of that tax, orbin relation to a company not within the charge to corporation tax, to a period that would be an accounting period for the purposes of that tax were the company within the charge to that tax and had first come within it on 1 January 2023.See also section 288, which provides that the accounting period of a generating undertaking that is a group is the accounting period of its lead member.Benchmark amount 281 1 The benchmark amount for the financial years ending in 2023 and 2024 is £75. 2 The benchmark amount for each subsequent financial year is the benchmark amount for the previous financial year— a increased or decreased by the same percentage as the consumer prices index for the December before the start of that subsequent financial year has increased or decreased from that index for the previous December, and b rounded up to the nearest whole penny. 3 Before the commencement of each of the financial years ending in 2025 to 2028, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (referred to elsewhere in this Part as “HMRC”) must publish the benchmark amount for that financial year in such manner as they consider appropriate. 4 Subsections (5) to (7) apply where 2 financial years fall within a qualifying period. 5 Generation attributed to a generating undertaking for that period is to be allocated, on a fair and reasonable basis, between those financial years. 6 The calculation in Step 2 of section 279(5) is to be applied separately to the generation allocated to each of those financial years by reference to the benchmark amount for that year. 7 Accordingly, the result of that Step is to be the sum of those calculations. 8 In this section— “consumer prices index” means the all items consumer prices index published by the Statistics Board; “financial year” means a period of twelve months ending with 31st March. Calculation of exceptional generation receiptsAttribution of generation 282 1 The following amounts of generation, expressed in megawatt hours, are to be attributed to a generating undertaking for a qualifying period— a any grid connected electricity generation of a relevant generating station of the undertaking for the period, and b the amount given by multiplying— i the amount (if any) of grid connected electricity generation for the period of a relevant generating station that is operated by a qualifying partnership in relation to the undertaking (see section 291), by ii the qualifying proportion for that period (see that section). 2 For the purposes of this Part, a generating station is a generating station of a generating undertaking if— a in the case of an undertaking that is a company, it is operated by that company otherwise than in partnership with another person, and b in the case of an undertaking that is a group, it is operated by any member of that group— i including where the station is operated in partnership and all of the partners are members of the group, but ii not including where the station is operated in partnership and one or more of the partners are not members of the group. 3 “Grid connected electricity generation” of a relevant generating station for a qualifying period means— a electricity generated by the station in that period for the purpose of giving a supply to any premises or enabling a supply to be so given where that supply would involve the use of a licensed distribution system or a licensed transmission system, and b electricity that was, at any time, expected to be (but was not) generated by the station in that period for that purpose. 4 But for the purposes only of— a section 279(3) (application of levy threshold), and b Step 2 in section 279(5) (determination of maximum amount of receipts that would not be exceptional), ignore any electricity that was expected to be, but was not, generated by a relevant generating station unless the electricity was not generated in connection with an accepted bid to decrease generation under a settlement code. Generation receipts 283 1 Where generation is attributed to a generating undertaking under section 282(1) for a qualifying period, generation receipts in respect of that generation are to be attributed to that undertaking for that period. 2 In this Part “generation receipts” means amounts that it is fair and reasonable to attribute to generation attributed under section 282(1) (whether or not they are received by, or otherwise arise to the operator of the station) on the basis that the amounts reflect, directly or indirectly, the amount realised (or to be realised) for the wholesale purchase of electricity arising from that generation (whether or not the electricity is actually generated). 3 In determining the amounts realised (or to be realised) for the wholesale purchase of electricity the following are, amongst other things, to be taken into account— a amounts received in accordance with a settlement code in connection with accepted offers to increase generation (but not amounts in connection with accepted bids to decrease generation); b imbalance charges under such a code; c payments and receipts under arrangements whose principal purpose is to act as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the price of electricity where those arrangements relate to generation attributed under section 282(1). 4 The arrangements referred to in subsection (3)(c) may include arrangements comprising, or that include the use of, options, futures and contracts for difference (within the meaning of Part 7 of CTA 2009). 5 The Treasury may by regulations make provision about when amounts can (and cannot) be fairly and reasonably attributed to generation under subsection (2). 6 Regulations may also provide that— a amounts of a specified description are always to be treated as generation receipts; b amounts of a specified description are never to be treated as generation receipts. “Specified” means specified in the regulations. 7 Subsection (8) applies to generation attributed to a generating undertaking under section 282(1) if— a provision, within the meaning of Part 4 of TIOPA 2010, has been made or imposed as between two persons by means of a transaction or series of transactions, b that provision relates to that generation, c if instead of that provision the arm's length provision had been made or imposed, one of those persons would have an amount that it is fair and reasonable to attribute the generating undertaking in accordance with subsection (2), and d were that person within the charge to corporation tax, their profits and losses would be calculated (as a result of Part 4 of TIOPA 2010) as if the arm's length provision had been made or imposed instead of the provision actually made or imposed. 8 Where this subsection applies to generation attributed to a generating undertaking, generation receipts in respect of it are to be determined as if the arm's length provision had been made or imposed instead of the provision actually made or imposed. 9 In this Part “the arm's length provision” has the meaning it has in Part 4 of TIOPA 2010. Allowable costs 284 1 “Allowable costs” means— a exceptional generation fuel costs of relevant generating stations (see section 285), b exceptional revenue sharing costs in respect of relevant generating stations (see section 286), and c qualifying electricity purchase costs (see subsection (6)). 2 Allowable costs may only be attributed to a generating undertaking for a qualifying period to the extent— a those costs are fairly and reasonably attributable to generation receipts attributed to the undertaking for the period, b they reflect expenses of the undertaking (or, in the case of an undertaking that is a group, of one or more of its members), and c those costs are not already reflected in the determination of the amounts of those receipts. 3 Allowable costs are only to be attributed to a generating undertaking if a claim is made for those allowable costs in a company tax return. In this Part “company tax return” has the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (see paragraph 3(1) of that Schedule). 4 Subsection (5) applies to allowable costs of a person (“the cost holder”) to be attributed to a generating undertaking if— a the costs arise as a result of provision made or imposed as between the cost holder and another person by means of a transaction or series of transactions, and b were the cost holder within the charge to corporation tax, the cost holder’s profits and losses would be calculated (as a result of Part 4 of TIOPA 2010) as if the arm's length provision had been made or imposed instead of the provision actually made or imposed. 5 Where this subsection applies to allowable costs, the amount of those costs is to be determined as if that arm's length provision had been made or imposed instead of the provision it arose as a result of. 6 In this section “qualifying electricity purchase costs” means costs reasonably incurred in the purchase of electricity in order to comply with the terms of an agreement under which it was expected that a relevant generating station will generate but does not do so. Exceptional generation fuel costs 285 1 For the purposes of a claim for allowable costs by a generating undertaking, the amount (if any) of “exceptional generation fuel costs” of a relevant generating station for a qualifying period is to be determined as follows— Step 1 Determine the generation fuel costs for the station for that period. Step 2 Divide the amount of those costs by the amount of electricity generated by the station in that period (expressed in megawatt hours) that are attributable to a generating undertaking. Step 3 Determine the baseline fuel cost of the station. Step 4 If the result of Step 2 is the same as or less than the baseline fuel cost, there are no exceptional generation fuel costs of the station for that period. Step 5 If the result of Step 2 is greater than the baseline fuel cost, subtract the baseline fuel cost from the result of Step 2. Step 6 Multiply the amount of electricity generated by the station that is attributable to a generating undertaking in that period by the result of Step 5 to give the amount of exceptional generation fuel costs of the station for that period. 2 The “generation fuel costs” of a relevant generating station for a period means costs which, on a fair and reasonable basis, can be directly attributed to the acquisition of fuel used for generating electricity in that period (which may include the costs of transporting such fuel) that is attributable to a generating undertaking. 3 The baseline fuel cost of a relevant generating station is the lesser of— a the average generation fuel costs of the station per megawatt hour for the reference period specified in the claim for allowable costs, determined on a fair and reasonable basis (and which cannot be less than nil), and b £65 per megawatt hour. 4 Subject to subsection (5), the reference period that may be specified in the claim must— a be a period of at least 12 months in which there is a period of 3 months where the generating station was generating on 50% or more of the days in that 3 month period, b commence no earlier than 1 January 2017, and c end no later than 1 March 2020. 5 Where a reference period cannot be specified in the claim in accordance with subsection (4) because there is no period of at least 12 months between 1 January 2017 and 1 March 2020 in which there is a period of 3 months where the generating station was generating on 50% or more of the days in that 3 month period— a a period of 12 months commencing no earlier than 1 January 2017 and ending no later than 1 March 2020 may be specified as the reference period, b the average generation fuel costs of the station for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) is to be determined as a fair and reasonable estimate of what those costs would have been— i had the generating station been generating in that period, and ii had it been generating on a similar basis in that period as it had been generating in the period of 12 months ending with the end of the qualifying period to which the claim relates. 6 Where a generating station uses more than one type of fuel, a generating undertaking making a claim for allowable costs in respect of the exceptional fuel costs of that station may calculate the exceptional generation fuel costs in relation to each type of fuel separately, and may specify different reference periods for those calculations. 7 Where a generating undertaking makes a claim for allowable costs in respect of exceptional generation fuel costs of two or more generating stations that use the same type of fuel, the same reference period must be specified in relation to the calculation of exceptional generation costs in relation to fuel of the same type. Exceptional revenue sharing costs 286 1 Subsection (2) applies for the purposes of determining the amount of allowable costs that may be claimed by a generating undertaking in respect of exceptional revenue sharing costs. 2 Take the following steps to determine the amount (if any) that can be claimed for a qualifying period— Step 1 Determine if there are any relevant generating stations whose generation has been attributed to the undertaking in relation to which there are qualifying arrangements under which payments are made to a third party in relation to the undertaking by reference to— the price received for generation by that station, or the wholesale price of electricity. Step 2 Determine the amounts paid, in respect of each of those arrangements. Step 3 In relation to each such payment, determine the amount that would have been paid if the price received for generation by the station in question and the wholesale price of electricity had been the benchmark amount and subtract that amount from the amount actually paid. Step 4 Add together the results of Step 3. If the result of Step 3 is nil or less the generating undertaking, no amount can be claimed. If the result of Step 3 is more than nil, that amount can be claimed (to the extent it is fairly and reasonably attributable to generation receipts attributed to the undertaking). 3 For the purposes of subsection (2), arrangements are “qualifying” if they are arrangements under which fuel for generating electricity is acquired and the requirement to make payments under the arrangements relates to that acquisition. 4 Where the arrangements provide for some or all of the cost of paying the levy to be passed to the third party (whether by way of reduction of payments or otherwise) no amount of allowable costs in relation to the arrangements may be claimed unless subsection (6) applies. 5 Subsection (6) applies where the arrangements provide for a fixed proportion of the cost of paying the levy to be passed to the third party. 6 Where this subsection applies, the proportion of the amount calculated under subsection (2) that is equal to the proportion of the costs of paying the levy that are not passed to the third party may be claimed. 7 In this section— “third party”, in relation to a generating undertaking, means a person that is not a significant equity holder in— where the undertaking is not a group, the undertaking, or where the undertaking is a group, any member of the group; a person (“P”), other than a member of a group of companies, is a “significant equity holder” in a company (“C”) if— P is beneficially entitled to 20% or more of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of C, P would be beneficially entitled to 20% or more of any assets of C available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up, or at least 20% of C‘s ordinary share capital is owned directly or indirectly by P; a member of a group of companies is a “significant equity holder” in a company (“C”) if— members of the group between them are beneficially entitled to 20% or more of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of C, members of the group between them would be beneficially entitled to 20% or more of any assets of C available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up, or at least 20% of C‘s ordinary share capital is owned directly or indirectly by members of the group. Groups, partnerships and joint venturesGroups 287 1 For the purposes of this Part, the following form a “group”— a a company that is not a 75% subsidiary of any other company, and b every company that is a 75% subsidiary— i of that company, ii of a 75% subsidiary of that company, or iii of a 75% subsidiary of a 75% subsidiary of that company, and so on. 2 The company in a group that is not a 75% subsidiary of any other company is the “principal member” of the group. 3 Every other member of the group is a “subsidiary member”. 4 A company (“B”) is a “75% subsidiary” of another company (“A”) if— a A is beneficially entitled to 75% or more of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of B, b A would be beneficially entitled to 75% or more of any assets of B available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up, or c at least 75% of B’s ordinary share capital is owned directly or indirectly by A. 5 Where as a result of the application of each of paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (4) a company would (ignoring this paragraph) be a member of more than one group, that company is to be treated as only being a 75% subsidiary of the first company it is a subsidiary of applying the rules in those paragraphs in order (starting with paragraph (a)). 6 If at any time a company that is a generating undertaking becomes a member of a group that is a generating undertaking (including a group that becomes a generating undertaking as a result of that company becoming a member), the final qualifying period of the company ends at that time. 7 If at any time a group ceases to be a group as a result of the principal member becoming a 75% subsidiary of another group, the final qualifying period of the group ends at that time. Lead member of a group and its qualifying periods 288 1 For the purposes of section 280(2) (meaning of qualifying period), the reference to an accounting period of a generating undertaking that is a group means an accounting period of its lead member. 2 Take the following steps in order to identify the lead member of the group (stopping at the first step under which a member of the group is identified as the lead member)— Step 1 If there is a member of the group that— is within the charge to corporation tax, and is nominated for the purposes of this section, that member is the lead member of the group. Step 2 If the principal member of the group is within the charge to corporation tax, it is the lead member of the group. Step 3 If— there is a member of the group that— is within the charge to corporation tax, and has no 75% parent within the charge to corporation tax, and there is no other member of the group falling within paragraph (a), that member is the lead member of the group. Step 4 If there is more than one member falling within paragraph (a) of Step 3, the lead member is the member falling within that paragraph to which the greatest amount of generation would be attributed under section 282(1) in the period of 12 months ending with the later of 31 December 2022 and the beginning of the first qualifying period in which the group is a qualifying generating undertaking if— each such member were a generating undertaking, and that period of 12 months were a qualifying period. Step 5 If none of the preceding steps identifies a lead member, the principal member of the group (who will not be within the charge to corporation tax) is the lead member of the group. 3 For the purposes of subsection (2), a company (“P”) is a 75% parent of another company if that other company is a 75% subsidiary— a of P, b of a 75% subsidiary of P, or c of a 75% subsidiary of a 75% subsidiary of P, and so on. 4 A nomination of a member of a group as the lead member of the group— a is to be made by the member of the group that, ignoring Step 1 in subsection (2), would be the lead member of the group (“the nominating member”), b must be made by notice to HMRC, c must specify when it takes effect, which must be no earlier than the commencement of the qualifying period in which it is made, and d has effect until— i a further nomination takes effect, ii it is revoked, or iii the nominated member leaves the group. 5 The revocation of a nomination of a member of a group as the lead member— a is to be made by the member of the group that, ignoring Step 1 in subsection (2), would be the lead member of the group, b must be made by notice to HMRC, and c must specify when it takes effect, which must be no earlier than the commencement of the qualifying period in which it is made. 6 Where a company becomes lead member of a group during a qualifying period, and that period is not the same as an accounting period of the new lead member— a the qualifying period ends, and b a qualifying period commences that ends with the end of the current accounting period of the new lead member. Liability of members of groups 289 Where a generating undertaking that is a group is liable to an amount of electricity generator levy— a the lead member is liable to pay that amount, and b every other member is jointly and severally liable for that amount. Election for members with significant minority shareholding to pay levy 290 1 This section applies where— a a generating undertaking that is a group is liable to an amount of electricity generator levy for a qualifying period, b a subsidiary member of that group (“the relevant member”) has, at any time in that period, at least one significant minority shareholder, c some, or all, of that amount is attributable, on a fair and reasonable basis, to the activities of the relevant member and, if it has one or more relevant subsidiaries, those relevant subsidiaries. 2 Where this section applies, the lead member of the group may elect that so much of the amount as is attributable to the activities of the relevant member and (where it has one or more relevant subsidiaries) its relevant subsidiaries must be paid by that member. 3 But the other members of the group are jointly and severally liable for that amount. 4 An election under this section in respect of an amount of electricity generator levy for a qualifying period must be made no later than 9 months after the end of that period. 5 For the purposes of this Part— a a person (“P”) is a significant minority shareholder in a subsidiary member of a group (“S”) if P is not a member of the group and— i P is beneficially entitled to 10% or more of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of S, ii P would be beneficially entitled to 10% or more of any assets of S available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up, or iii at least 10% of S‘s ordinary share capital is owned by P, and b a group of companies (other than the group S is a member of) is a significant minority shareholder in S if— i members of the group are, between them, beneficially entitled to 10% or more of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of S, ii members of the group between them would be beneficially entitled to 10% or more of any assets of S available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up, or iii at least 10% of S‘s ordinary share capital is owned by members of the group. 6 For the purposes of this section and sections 296 and 297, a company is a relevant subsidiary of another company if it is a 75% subsidiary of— a that other company, b a 75% subsidiary of that other company, or c a 75% subsidiary of a 75% subsidiary of that other company, and so on. Qualifying partnerships 291 1 A “qualifying partnership”, in relation to a generating undertaking, means a partnership that operates a relevant generating station whose partners include— a in the case of a generating undertaking that is a company, that company, or b in the case of a generating undertaking that is a group, at least one partner who is not a member of the group and at least one partner who is a member of the group. 2 For the purposes of subsection (1) of section 282, the qualifying proportion for a qualifying period in relation to a generating undertaking that is a company and a qualifying partnership in relation to that undertaking is the proportion of the partnership’s profits represented by the undertaking’s share of those profits. 3 For the purposes of that subsection, the qualifying proportion for a qualifying period in relation to a generating undertaking that is a group and a qualifying partnership in relation to that undertaking is the proportion of the partnership’s profits represented by the sum of the shares of those profits of each partner that is a member of the undertaking. 4 Part 17 of CTA 2009 (partnerships) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of corporation tax. Qualifying joint ventures 292 1 For the purposes of this Part a company (“C”) is a “qualifying joint venture” if— a C is not a member of a group other than a group of which it is the principal member, and b there are five or fewer persons who between them— i hold 75% or more of C’s ordinary share capital, or ii in a case where C does not have ordinary share capital, are beneficially entitled to 75% or more of C's profits available for distribution to equity holders of C. 2 In determining whether there are five or fewer such persons as are mentioned in subsection (1)(b), the members of a group are treated as if they were a single company. 3 A company (“P”) that is not a member of a group is a participant in a qualifying joint venture (“V”) if— a P holds 10% or more of V’s ordinary share capital, or b in a case where V does not have ordinary share capital, P is beneficially entitled to 10% or more of V's profits available for distribution to equity holders of V. 4 A group of companies is a participant in a qualifying joint venture (“V”) if— a a member of that group, or two or more members between them, hold 10% or more of V’s ordinary share capital, or b in a case where V does not have ordinary share capital, a member of the group is, or two or more members between them are, beneficially entitled to 10% or more of V's profits available for distribution to equity holders of V. 5 Where a participant in a qualifying joint venture is not a generating undertaking, the participant is to be treated as a generating undertaking for the purposes of this Part. Attribution and surrender of amounts: joint ventures and significant minority shareholdersNon-chargeable amounts of joint venture to be attributed to participants 293 1 Subsection (3) applies where the result of Step 4 in section 279(5) for a joint venture undertaking is greater than nil for a qualifying period. 2 For the purposes of this Part “joint venture undertaking” means a generating undertaking— a that is a qualifying joint venture, or b that is a group whose principal member is a qualifying joint venture. 3 The appropriate proportion of the non-chargeable amount in relation to the joint venture undertaking is to be added to the result of Step 4 in section 279(5) for each generating undertaking that is a participant in the qualifying joint venture (“the JV”) that comprises, or is the principal member of, the joint venture undertaking (and where Step 4 would not otherwise have been reached as a result of the second sentence of Step 3, ignore that sentence). 4 Where the qualifying period of the joint venture undertaking corresponds to a qualifying period of a participant of the JV, the whole of the appropriate proportion of the non-chargeable amount is to be added to the result of Step 4 for the participant for that period. Otherwise, the appropriate proportion is to be apportioned, on a fair and reasonable basis, between the qualifying periods of the participant in which the qualifying period of the joint venture undertaking falls. 5 The non-chargeable amount for a qualifying period of the joint venture undertaking is so much of the result of Step 4 in section 279(5) for that period as is reduced as a result of Step 5 of that section. 6 To determine the appropriate proportion of the participants in the JV for a qualifying period of the joint venture undertaking take the following steps— Step 1 The generation receipts and allowable costs attributed to the joint venture undertaking for the period are to be allocated to the participants in the JV in proportion to the proportional interest each has in the JV at the time of the generation to which the receipts or costs relate. Step 2 In respect of each participant, subtract those allocated allowable costs from those allocated generation receipts. If the result of this Step is less than nil for any of the participants, the appropriate proportion for that participant is nil. Step 3 The appropriate proportion for any other participant is the amount given by dividing— the result of Step 2 in respect of that participant, by the result of Step 4 in section 279(5) for the joint venture undertaking— ignoring any amounts added to the result of that Step in accordance with subsection (3), and where the result of Step 2 for one or more of the participants is less than nil, increased by the sum of those results (each expressed as a positive number). 7 The proportional interest of a participant (“P”) in the JV at any time is— a the percentage of the JV’s ordinary share capital held— i where P is a generating undertaking which is a company, by P, or ii where P is a generating undertaking which is a group, by members of P, or b in a case where the JV does not have ordinary share capital, the percentage of the JV’s profits available for distribution to equity holders of the JV— i where P is a generating undertaking which is a company, to which P is beneficially entitled, or ii where P is a generating undertaking which is a group, to which members of P are beneficially entitled. 8 Where the appropriate proportion of the non-chargeable amount is required to be added to the result of Step 4 in section 279(5) for a generating undertaking that is not “qualifying” (see section 279(3)) in the qualifying period in which it is to be added, that undertaking is to be treated as qualifying for that period. Generation acquired and supplied by JV participants 294 1 Subsection (3) applies to generation if — a the generation is attributed to a joint venture undertaking, other than in accordance with this section or sections 295 to 297, b it is supplied, directly or indirectly, to a generating undertaking (“Q”) that is a participant in the joint venture (“the JV”) that comprises, or is the principal member of, the joint venture undertaking, and c it is subsequently the subject of a wholesale purchase of electricity from Q. 2 Where the generation attributed to the joint venture undertaking is generation falling within section 282(3)(b) (generation expected to be generated which was not generated), reference in subsection (1) to supply or purchase is to any supply or purchase that was expected in consequence of that generation having occurred. 3 Where this subsection applies to generation— a the generation is to be attributed to Q (as well as to the joint venture undertaking), b in determining the amount of generation receipts to be attributed to the joint venture undertaking under section 283 in respect of that generation, do not take account of the transaction described in subsection (1)(c), c the generation attributed to Q as a result of paragraph (a) is to be attributed to Q for the qualifying period of Q in which the generation occurred, d subject to paragraph (f), the generation attributed to Q as a result of paragraph (a) is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it had been attributed under section 282(1), e in determining the amount of generation receipts to be attributed to Q under section 283 in respect of generation attributed as a result of paragraph (a), take account of the costs of the transaction under which the generation so attributed was acquired or was expected to be acquired, and f in determining the exceptional generation receipts of Q for a qualifying period of Q under section 279(5), any generation attributed to Q for that period as a result of paragraph (a) is to be ignored for the purposes of Step 2 (which may result in the result of that Step being nil). 4 But the amount generation that is to be attributed to Q in a qualifying period of Q under this section is not to exceed the amount of generation attributed to the joint venture undertaking in respect of that same period multiplied by the relevant proportion. 5 The “relevant proportion” for the purposes of subsection (4) and section 295(3) is— a the percentage of the JV’s ordinary share capital held— i where Q is a generating undertaking which is a company, by Q, or ii where Q is a generating undertaking which is a group, by members of Q, or b in a case where the JV does not have ordinary share capital, the percentage of the JV’s profits available for distribution to equity holders of the JV— i where Q is a generating undertaking which is a company, to which Q is beneficially entitled, or ii where Q is a generating undertaking which is a group, to which members of Q are beneficially entitled. Arrangements that reflect receipts (JV participants) 295 1 Subsection (2) applies to generation if— a the generation is attributed to a joint venture undertaking, other than in accordance with this section or sections 294, 296 or 297, b a participant (“Q”) in the joint venture (“the JV”) that comprises, or is the principal member of, the joint venture undertaking is party to arrangements that result in amounts arising by reference to the generation, c those amounts would, if the joint venture undertaking, or a member of it, were party to those arrangements, be taken into account in determining the generation receipts of the joint venture undertaking, and d the generation— i is not supplied (directly or indirectly) to Q, or ii in the case of generation falling within section 282(3)(b) (generation expected to be generated which was not generated), was not expected to be supplied (directly or indirectly) to Q. 2 Where this subsection applies to generation— a the generation is to be attributed to Q (as well as to the joint venture undertaking), b the generation attributed to Q as a result of paragraph (a) is to be attributed to Q for the qualifying period of Q in which the generation occurred, c subject to paragraph (d), the generation attributed to Q as a result of paragraph (a) is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it had been attributed under section 282(1), d in determining the exceptional generation receipts of Q for a qualifying period of Q under section 279(5)— e any generation attributed to Q for that period as a result of paragraph (a) is to be ignored for the purposes of Step 2 (which may result in the result of that Step being nil). 3 But amount of generation that is to be attributed to Q in a qualifying period of Q under this section is not to exceed the amount given by subtracting— a the amount of generation attributed to Q in that period under section 294, from b the amount of generation attributed to the joint venture undertaking in respect of that same period multiplied by the relevant proportion (see section 294(5)). Generation acquired and supplied by significant minority shareholders 296 1 Subsection (3) applies to generation if— a a subsidiary member (“A”) of a generating undertaking that is a group (“U”) has a significant minority shareholder that is a company or group, b the generation is generation by a relevant generating station operated by A or a relevant subsidiary of A (see section 290(6)), c the generation is supplied, directly or indirectly, to a significant minority shareholder (“M”) in A that is a company or a group, and d the generation is subsequently the subject of a wholesale purchase of electricity from M. 2 Where the generation falls within section 282(3)(b) (generation expected to be generated which was not generated), reference in subsection (1) to supply or purchase is to any supply or purchase that was expected in consequence of that generation having occurred. 3 Where this subsection applies to generation— a the generation is to be attributed to M (as well as to U), b in determining the amount of generation receipts to be attributed to U under section 283 in respect of the generation, do not take account of the transaction described in subsection (1)(d), c the generation attributed to M as a result of paragraph (a) is to be attributed to M for the qualifying period of M in which the generation occurred, d subject to paragraph (f), the generation attributed to M as a result of paragraph (a) is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it had been attributed under section 282(1), e in determining the amount of generation receipts to be attributed to M under section 283 in respect of generation attributed as a result of paragraph (a), take account of the costs of the transaction under which the generation so attributed was acquired or was expected to be acquired, and f in determining the exceptional generation receipts of M for a qualifying period of M under section 279(5), any generation attributed to M for that period as a result of paragraph (a) is to be ignored for the purposes of Step 2 (which may result in the result of that Step being nil). 4 Where the generation is generation by a relevant generating station operated in partnership and at least one of the partners is neither A nor a relevant subsidiary of A, only the qualifying proportion of that generation is to be attributed to M under subsection (3)(a). 5 For the purposes of this section and section 297, “the qualifying proportion” is the proportion of generation that is equal to the proportion of the partnership’s profits represented by the sum of A’s share of the partnership’s profits and the shares of those profits of any relevant subsidiaries of A (and Part 17 of CTA 2009 applies for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of corporation tax). 6 But the generation that is to be attributed to M in a qualifying period of M is not to exceed the amount of generation that is attributable on a fair and reasonable basis to the activities of A and (where it has one or more relevant subsidiaries) its relevant subsidiaries in that same period multiplied by the relevant proportion. 7 The “relevant proportion” for the purposes of subsection (6) and section 297(4)(b) is— a the percentage of A’s ordinary share capital held— i where M is a generating undertaking which is a company, by M, or ii where M is a generating undertaking which is a group, by members of M, or b in a case where A does not have ordinary share capital, the percentage of A’s profits available for distribution to equity holders of A— i where M is a generating undertaking which is a company, to which M is beneficially entitled, or ii where M is a generating undertaking which is a group, to which members of M are beneficially entitled. 8 Where M is not a generating undertaking, M is to be treated as a generating undertaking for the purposes of this Part. Arrangements that reflect receipts (significant minority shareholders) 297 1 Subsection (2) applies to generation if— a a subsidiary member (“A”) of a generating undertaking that is a group (“U”) has a significant minority shareholder that is a company or group, b the generation is generation by a relevant generating station operated by A or a relevant subsidiary of A (see section 290(6)), c a significant minority shareholder (“M”) in A that is a company or a group is party to arrangements that result in amounts arising by reference to the generation, d those amounts would be taken into account in determining the generation receipts of U if A or a relevant subsidiary of A (whichever operates the station) were party to the arrangements, and e the generation— i is not supplied (directly or indirectly) to M, or ii in the case of generation falling within section 282(3)(b) (generation expected to be generated which was not generated), was not expected to be supplied (directly or indirectly) to M. 2 Where this subsection applies to generation— a the generation is to be attributed to M (as well as to U), b the generation attributed to M as a result of paragraph (a) is to be attributed to M for the qualifying period of M in which the generation occurred, c subject to paragraph (d), the generation attributed to M as a result of paragraph (a) is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it had been attributed under section 282(1), d in determining the exceptional generation receipts of M for a qualifying period of M under section 279(5), any generation attributed to M for that period as a result of paragraph (a) is to be ignored for the purposes of Step 2 (which may result in the result of that Step being nil). 3 Where the generation is generation by a relevant generating station operated in partnership and at least one of the partners is neither A nor a relevant subsidiary of A, only the qualifying proportion of that generation (see section 294(4)) is to be attributed to M under subsection (2)(a). 4 But the amount of generation that is to be attributed to M in a qualifying period of M is not to exceed the amount given by subtracting— a the amount of generation attributed to M in that period under section 296, from b the amount of generation that is attributable on a fair and reasonable basis to the activities of A and (where it has one or more relevant subsidiaries) its relevant subsidiaries multiplied by the relevant proportion (see section 296(7)). 5 Where M is not a generating undertaking, M is to be treated as a generating undertaking for the purposes of this Part. Surrender of shortfalls 298 1 This section applies where in an overlap period for two related generating undertakings— a one of those undertakings (“A”) has a shortfall amount for the overlap period, and b the other undertaking (“B”) has exceptional generation receipts for the overlap period. 2 To determine if an undertaking has a shortfall amount or exceptional generation receipts for an overlap period, carry out all of the steps in section 279(5) as if the period were a qualifying period, including steps that would normally be ignored because a result of nil or less has already been found. 3 If the result of Step 5 is less than nil, that result (expressed as a positive number) is a shortfall amount. 4 Where this section applies, an amount of the shortfall amount of A may be surrendered to B. 5 Section 299 sets out how much of the shortfall amount may be surrendered by A to B. 6 Two generating undertakings are related generating undertakings if— a one is— i a joint venture undertaking, or ii a generating undertaking that is a group that has at least one subsidiary member who has at least one significant minority shareholder, and b the other is a relevant shareholder in the other. 7 A generating undertaking (“C”) is a relevant shareholder in another generating undertaking (“D”) if— a where D is a joint venture undertaking, C is a participant in the joint venture that comprises, or is the principal member of, the joint venture undertaking, or b where D is a generating undertaking that is a group that has at least one subsidiary member who has at least one significant minority shareholder, C is a significant minority shareholder in a subsidiary member of D. 8 In this section “overlap period” in relation to two generating undertakings means— a where a qualifying period of one of the generating undertakings wholly corresponds with a qualifying period of the other, such a period, and b where a qualifying period of one generating undertaking does not wholly correspond with a qualifying period of the other, a period— i that commences at the same time as a qualifying period of one of them, and ii that ends with the earlier of the end of that qualifying period or the end of the last qualifying period of the other undertaking to commence on or before that qualifying period. Amount that may be surrendered and use of that amount 299 1 Subject to subsection (7), the maximum amount of a shortfall amount that may be surrendered by a generating undertaking (“A”) to another (“B”) where A is a relevant shareholder in B, is the lesser of the amounts given by subsections (2) and (3). 2 The amount given by this subsection is the amount of the shortfall amount of A that is, on a fair and reasonable basis, referable to A’s interest in the generation attributed to B in the overlap period. 3 The amount given by this subsection is the amount of the exceptional generation receipts of B for the shortfall period that is, on a fair and reasonable basis, referable to A’s interest in the generation attributed to B in the overlap period. 4 Subject to subsection (7), the maximum amount of a shortfall amount that may be surrendered by a generating undertaking (“C”) to another (“D”) where D is a relevant shareholder in C is the lesser of the amounts given by subsections (5) and (6). 5 The amount given by this subsection is the amount of the shortfall amount of C that is, on a fair and reasonable basis, referable to D’s interest in the generation attributed to C in the overlap period. 6 The amount given by this subsection is the amount of the exceptional generation receipts of D for the shortfall period that is, on a fair and reasonable basis, referable to D’s interest in the generation attributed to C in the overlap period. 7 A generating undertaking may only surrender an amount of a shortfall amount relating to an overlap period if the result of Step 5 in section 279(5) for the undertaking for the qualifying period in which the overlap period falls would not exceed nil if— a all of the steps in section 279(5) for that qualifying period were carried out, including steps that would normally be ignored because a result of nil or less has already been found, b the amount surrendered were added to the result of Step 5, and c all other amounts surrendered for overlap periods falling with that period were added to the result of that Step. 8 Where an amount of a shortfall amount has been surrendered to a generating undertaking, that amount is to reduce the result of Step 5 in section 279(5), but not below nil, for the qualifying period in which the overlap period to which the shortfall amount relates falls. 9 A surrender of an amount of a shortfall amount is effective only if— a the generating undertaking which is surrendering the amount has consented to surrender that amount to the other generating undertaking, and b the other generating undertaking has made a claim to that amount (see section 305). Treatment of company as transparent as alternative to attribution and surrenderElection to treat certain companies as transparent 300 1 A company that is, or is a member of, a generating undertaking may elect that the company is to be treated as transparent while the election is in force. Section 301 sets out the effect of a company being “treated as transparent”. 2 An election under subsection (1)— a must be made by notice to HMRC; b must specify the first day on which the election is to have effect, which must be no earlier than 12 months before the day on which the notice is given; c may only be made if conditions A and B are met. 3 Condition A is that— a the company is a qualifying joint venture that is, or is a member of, a generating undertaking, or b the company— i is a subsidiary member of a group that is a generating undertaking, and ii has at least one significant minority shareholder. 4 Condition B is that each shareholder of the company— a has at least a 10% interest in it, b is a company, and c has consented to the making of the election. 5 Where two or more members of a group are shareholders of the company, they are to be regarded as a single shareholder (and their interests aggregated) for the purposes of determining whether subsection (4)(a) is met (but each must still consent to the making of the election for condition B to be satisfied). 6 For the purposes of this section and section 301— a a person is a shareholder of a company if— i in the case of a company that has ordinary share capital, the person holds ordinary share capital of the company, or ii in the case of a company that does not have ordinary share capital, the person is beneficially entitled to a share of the company’s profits available for distribution to equity holders of it, and b a shareholder’s interest in a company is— i in the case of a company that has ordinary share capital, the proportion of the ordinary share capital of the company the shareholder holds, or ii in the case of a company that does not have ordinary share capital, the proportion of the company’s profits available for distribution to equity holders of it to which the shareholder is beneficially entitled. 7 An election under this section has effect from the date specified in accordance with subsection (2)(b) until— a revoked by the company, b revoked by HMRC, or c a person who was not a shareholder of the company at the time the election first took effect becomes a shareholder of the company. Nothing in this subsection is to be read as preventing a subsequent election being made that commences at any time after the first election ceased to have effect. 8 An election may be revoked by the company by notice given to HMRC that specifies the date the election is to cease to have effect, which must be no earlier than 12 months before the day on which the notice of revocation is given. 9 An election may be revoked by HMRC by notice given to the company if HMRC considers that the company or its shareholders have not complied with any obligation under this Part. 10 A notice under subsection (9)— a must specify the date from which the revocation has effect (including a date which if specified would result in the election never having effect), and b must state the reasons for revocation, and c may be appealed by the company by notice to HMRC. 11 An appeal under subsection (10)(c) must be made during the period of 30 days beginning with the date on which the notice under subsection (9) was given. Further provision about appeals is contained in Part 5 of TMA 1970 (which applies in relation to the electricity generator levy as a result of section 302). Effect of company being transparent 301 1 This section applies where a company (“C”) is treated as transparent as a result of an election under section 300. 2 C is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it were a partnership. 3 Its shareholders are to be regarded for those purposes as its partners. 4 Each shareholder’s share of the profits of the partnership is equal to its interest in C. 5 Where C is a generating undertaking, all generation, generation receipts and allowable costs that would (ignoring this section) be attributed to C in accordance with this Part are to be treated instead as if they resulted from the operation of a generating station operated in partnership by C’s partners. 6 Where C is a member of a group that is a generating undertaking, the generation, generation receipts and allowable costs that— a would (ignoring this section) be attributed to the group in accordance with this Part, and b are attributable on a fair and reasonable basis to the activities of C, are to be treated instead as if they resulted from the operation of a generating station operated in partnership by C’s partners. 7 Where C is, or is treated as, the only shareholder in another company (“D”), the generation, generation receipts and allowable costs that— a would (ignoring this section) be attributed, in accordance with this Part, to the group of which D is a member, and b are attributable on a fair and reasonable basis to the activities of D, are to be treated instead as if they resulted from the operation of a generating station operated in partnership by C’s partners. 8 C is to be treated as the only shareholder in another company if— a the other company’s only shareholder is— i a company in which C is the only shareholder, ii a company in which the only shareholder is a company in which C is the only shareholder, and so on, or b the other company has more than one shareholder, but each of its shareholders is one of the following— i C; ii a company whose only shareholder falls within paragraph (a)(i) or (ii); iii a company that has more than one shareholder each of which is a company falling with sub-paragraph (i) or (ii) or this sub-paragraph. 9 Where a shareholder of a company, or a generating undertaking of which such a shareholder is a member, is liable to an amount of electricity generator levy as a result of this section— a where the company is a generating undertaking, it is jointly and severally liable to that amount (to the extent it arises as a result of this section), or b where the company is a member of a generating undertaking that is a group, that undertaking is jointly and severally liable to that amount (to the extent it arises as a result of this section). 10 Where— a a generating undertaking is liable to an amount of electricity generator levy as a result of subsection (9)(a) or (b), and b the qualifying period (“the chargeable period”) by reference to which that amount was determined does not wholly correspond to a qualifying period of the undertaking, the amount is to be apportioned, on a fair and reasonable basis, between the qualifying periods of the undertaking in which the chargeable period falls. Management and administrationGeneral application of corporation tax administration 302 1 Where a company is liable to an amount of electricity generator levy, that amount may be charged on the company as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on it. 2 For the purposes of the collection and management of the electricity generator levy, any provision made by or under an enactment that applies in relation to corporation tax is to apply in relation to the electricity generator levy. 3 The following are examples of provision that, as a result of subsection (2), apply in relation to the electricity generator levy— a provision relating to returns of information and the supply of accounts, statements and reports; b provision relating to the assessing, collecting and receiving of corporation tax; c provision conferring or regulating a right of appeal; d provision concerning administration, penalties or interest on unpaid amounts of corporation tax; e provision about the priority of amounts owed to the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs in cases of insolvency under the law of any part of the United Kingdom. 4 Accordingly— a TMA 1970 is to have effect as if any reference to corporation tax included amounts of electricity generator levy that a company is chargeable to, and b Paragraph 1 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (company tax returns, assessments and related matters) has effect as if— i the “and” at the end of the paragraph beginning “section 33 of the Finance Act 2022” were omitted, and ii at the end there were inserted and, section 302(1) of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023. 5 Subsections (1) to (4) are subject to— a any other provision made by or under this Part, and b any necessary modifications. 6 The Treasury may by regulations make the following provision— a provision that disapplies any provision so far as it would otherwise, as a result of subsection (2), apply in relation to the electricity generator levy; b provision modifying the application of any such provision in relation to the electricity generator levy; c provision about (including provision modifying) the application of any provision of the Tax Acts (that would not otherwise apply to the electricity generator levy as a result of subsection (2)) in relation to the levy. Company tax returns 303 1 Where a generating undertaking that is a company is a qualifying generating undertaking for a qualifying period, it must include a statement of the matters mentioned in subsection (4) in its company tax return for the first accounting period that ends on or after the day on which the qualifying period ends (and if it would not otherwise be required to make a company tax return for that period, it must make one). 2 Where a generating undertaking that is a group is a qualifying generating undertaking for a qualifying period, the lead member in that period must include a statement of the matters mentioned in subsection (4) in its company tax return for the first accounting period that ends on or after the day on which the qualifying period ends (and if it would not otherwise be required to make a company tax return for that accounting period it must make one). 3 But subsections (1) and (2) do not apply in relation to a qualifying generating undertaking for a qualifying period if it is reasonable to assume that the result of Step 5 in section 279(5) for that period would be significantly less than nil. 4 The matters that must be stated are as follows— a the amount of generation attributed to the generating undertaking for the qualifying period under this Part, b the amount of generation receipts attributed to that undertaking for that period under section 283, c the amount of any allowable costs attributed to that undertaking for that period under section 284, d the amount of the undertaking’s revenue allowance for that period, e in the case of a generating undertaking that is a group, any amount of electricity generator levy that a member of that group must pay as a result of an election under section 290. 5 Where the lead member of a generating undertaking that is a group fails to comply with the obligation in subsection (2) in relation to a qualifying period, an officer of Revenue and Customs may by notice require another member of the group to make or amend a company tax return that includes the matters mentioned in subsection (4). 6 Nothing in this section is to be taken to limit the things which must be included in a company tax return as a result of section 302(4)(b) (which has the effect of treating the electricity generator levy as tax for the purposes of company tax returns). 7 Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (company tax returns etc.) applies in relation to a company required to make, or amend, a company tax return as a result of this section as if, in paragraph 8(1) of that Schedule (calculation of tax payable), at the end there were inserted— Sixth step Add any amount of electricity generator levy the company is liable to in respect of that accounting period under Part 5 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023. 8 For the purposes of that modification, a company is liable to an amount of electricity generator levy in respect of an accounting period if the company tax return for that period must, as a result of this section, include a statement of the matters mentioned in subsection (4) in relation to the qualifying period to which that amount relates. Requirement to provide information about payments 304 1 This section applies if— a an amount of electricity generator levy is chargeable on a company as if it were an amount of corporation tax, and b a payment is made (whether or not by the company) that is wholly or partly in respect of that sum. 2 The responsible company must give notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs, on or before the date the payment is made, of the amount of the payment that is in respect of that sum. 3 The “responsible company” is— a in the case of an amount of electricity generator levy to which a generating undertaking that is a company is liable, that company, or b in the case of an amount of electricity generator levy to which a generating undertaking that is a group is liable, the lead member of that group. 4 The requirement in subsection (2) is to be treated, for the purposes of Part 7 of Schedule 36 to FA 2008 (information and inspection powers: penalties), as a requirement in an information notice. 5 This section is subject to any provision to the contrary in regulations under section 59E of TMA 1970 (further provision as to when corporation tax is due and payable). Claims to shortfall amounts 305 1 Part 8 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 applies to a claim to a shortfall amount under section 299 as it applies to a claim for group relief under Part 5 of CTA 2010. 2 That Part has effect for the purposes of a claim to a shortfall amount as if— a references to “relief” were to the relief from electricity generator levy given by claiming a shortfall amount, b references to “accounting period” were to “qualifying period”, except where the context otherwise requires (for example, in references to the company tax return for the accounting period), c references to “company” (apart from in “company tax return”) were to “generating undertaking” (and if the context requires in the case of a generating undertaking that is a group, references were to the lead member of the group), d in paragraph 68, sub-paragraphs (3) to (8) were omitted, e in paragraph 69(3), in the first step, “under Part 5 or (as the case may be ) Part 5A of the Corporation Tax Act 2010” were omitted, f in paragraph 70— i in sub-paragraph (1), for “Requirement 1 in section 130(2), 135(2), 188CB(3) or (as the case may be) 188CC(3) of the Corporation Tax Act 2010” there were substituted “section 299(9)(a) of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023”, and ii sub-paragraphs (2), (5) and (6) were omitted, g in paragraph 71— i in sub-paragraph (1), for paragraph (e) there were substituted— e the overlap period to which the shortfall amount relates. , and ii sub-paragraph (1A) were omitted, h paragraphs 71A, 72, 75A, 77 and 77A were omitted, and i such other modifications as are necessary were made. Application of Part 5A of TMA 1970 and Instalment Payments Regulations 306 1 Section 59E of TMA 1970 (further provision as to when corporation tax is due and payable) has effect as if, in subsection (11) after paragraph (f) there were inserted— g to any sum chargeable on a company under section 279 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 (electricity generator levy) as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on the company. 2 Section 59F of that Act (arrangements for paying corporation tax on behalf of group members) has effect as if, in subsection (6)— a the “and” at the end of paragraph (d) were omitted, b after paragraph (e) there were inserted , and f to any sum chargeable on a company under section 279 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 (electricity generator levy) as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on the company. 3 The Instalment Payment Regulations have effect as if— a in paragraph (2), after “company” there were inserted “, other than a company that is, or is a member of a group that is, a generating undertaking (within the meaning of Part 5 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023),”, and b after that paragraph there were inserted— 2ZA References in these Regulations to profits, in any accounting period, of a company that is, or is a member of a group that is, a generating undertaking (within the meaning of that Part), are to the greater of— a the company's augmented profits within the meaning given by— i in the case of an accounting period beginning before 1 April 2023, section 279G of CTA 2010, or ii in the case of an accounting period beginning on or after that date, sections 18L and 18M of that Act, b where the company is a generating undertaking, its exceptional generation receipts (within the meaning of that Part, and c where the company is a member of a group that is a generating undertaking, the exceptional generation receipts of the undertaking. 4 If— a electricity generator levy is chargeable on company, and b under the Instalment Payment Regulations one or more instalment payments in respect of the total liability of the company for an accounting period beginning before the day on which this Act is passed are treated as becoming due and payable before the day on which this Act is passed 2023 (“pre-commencement instalments”), any amount of electricity generator levy chargeable for that period is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the amount of any pre-commencement instalment. 5 The first instalment in respect of that liability which is treated as becoming due and payable on or after the day on which this Act is passed is to be increased by the following amount, namely the difference between— a the aggregate amount of the pre-commencement instalments determined in accordance with subsection (4), and b the aggregate amount of those instalments determined ignoring that subsection. 6 In the Instalment Payment Regulations— a in regulations 6(1)(a), 7(2), 8(1)(a) and (2)(a), 9(5), 10(1), 11(1) and 13, references to those Regulations are to be read as including a reference to subsections (4) and (5) (and in regulation 7(2) “the regulation in question”, and in regulation 8(2) “that regulation”, are to be read accordingly), and b in regulation 9(3), the reference to those Regulations is to be read as including a reference to those subsections. 7 In this section “the Instalment Payment Regulations” means the Corporation Tax (Instalment Payments) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/3175). SupplementalApplication of Part 5 of CTA 2010 for the purposes of determining interests3071Chapter 6 of Part 5 of CTA 2010 (group relief: equity holders and profits or assets available for distribution) applies for the purposes of determining the interests of persons in companies under the following provisions (each a “relevant provision”)—asection 287(4);bsection 290(5);csection 292(1)(b)(ii), (3)(b) and (4)(b);dsection 293(7)(b);esection 294(5)(b);fsection 296(7)(b).2For those purposes that Part has effect as if—areferences to section 151(4)(a) and (b) of that Act were references to the relevant provision,bin section 158 of that Act after subsection (2) there were inserted—2ABut for those purposes a person carrying on a business of banking is not treated as a loan creditor of a company in respect of any loan capital or debt issued or incurred by the company for money lent by the person to the company in the ordinary course of that business.,csections 171(1)(b) and (3), 173, 174 and 176 to 178 of that Act were omitted, anddin its application for the purposes of paragraph (a) of section 290(5), any reference to company A were to the person referred to in that paragraph.3That Part is to be read, for the purposes mentioned in subsection (1), with all modifications necessary to ensure that—ait applies to a company which does not have share capital, and to holders of corresponding ordinary holdings in such a company, in a way which corresponds to the way it applies to companies with ordinary share capital and holders of ordinary shares in such companies,bit applies to a company which is an unincorporated association in a way which corresponds to the way it applies to companies which are bodies corporate,cit applies in relation to ownership through an entity (other than a company), or any trust or other arrangement, in a way which corresponds to the way it applies to ownership through a company, anddfor the purposes of achieving paragraphs (a) to (c), profits or assets are attributed to holders of corresponding ordinary holdings in unincorporated associations, entities, trusts or other arrangements in a manner which corresponds to the way profits or assets are attributed to holders of ordinary shares in a company which is a body corporate.4In subsection (3) “corresponding ordinary holding” in an unincorporated association, entity, trust or other arrangement means a holding or interest which provides the holder with economic rights corresponding to those provided by a holding of ordinary shares in a body corporate.Anti-avoidance3081This section applies to arrangements if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes of the arrangements, is to—areduce or avoid a charge to the electricity generator levy, orbotherwise avoid the effect of any of the provisions of this Part.2Any such reduction or avoidance that would (in the absence of this section) arise from such arrangements is to be counteracted by the making of such adjustments as are just and reasonable.3Where the arrangements result in a change in the composition of a generating undertaking that is a group (including where such a group ceases to exist), those adjustments may include adjustments to secure that the same liability to electricity generator levy arises, and can be recovered from members of the group, as if the composition of the group had not changed.4Any adjustments required to be made under this section (whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs) may be made by way of—aan assessment,bthe modification of an assessment,camendment or disallowance of a claim,or otherwise.5In this section “arrangements” include any agreement, understanding, scheme transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).Information sharing3091This section applies to information that—ais held by the Secretary of State, the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority or the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation (each “a relevant person”), andbis relevant to the electricity generator levy.2Information to which this section applies may be disclosed by a relevant person (or anyone acting on behalf of that person) to the Commissioners for His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs for the purposes of their functions relating to electricity generator levy or any other tax.3Subject to subsection (5), no duty of confidentiality or other restriction on disclosure (however imposed) prevents the disclosure of information in accordance with subsection (2).4This section

commissioned as part of a qualifying project that meets the new investment condition.2The new investment condition is met in relation to a qualifying project if on 21 November 2023 it was reasonable to conclude, having regard to all of the circumstances, that there is a significant likelihood of the project not proceeding.3The Treasury may by regulations provide for cases in which qualifying projects are to be treated as meeting the new investment condition.4“Qualifying project” means a project to commission—anew generating plant for—ia new generating station, oriian existing generating station which (as a result of the project) is to be wholly or substantially comprised of new generating plant, orbnew generating plant that increases the generating capacity of an existing generating

Deposit schemes: liability to account for VAT on deposit amounts 55D 1 For the purposes of this section, a person makes a “relevant deposit scheme supply” if— a the person makes the first supply of goods in relation to which a deposit amount is payable (whether or not another person makes a subsequent supply of those goods in relation to which a deposit amount is payable), and b that supply is a taxable (but not a zero-rated) supply. 2 A person who makes relevant deposit scheme supplies is liable to account for and pay the VAT in respect of the deposit amount that, on the applicable assumption, would have been charged in relation to the proportion of the supplies that is determined, in accordance with provision made by or under regulations under subsection (4), as being attributable to goods in respect of which no deposit amount is repaid. 3 The applicable assumption is that, in the case of those goods, section 55C(3) is ignored and the deposit amount and the price payable for the goods are regarded instead as indistinguishable parts of the consideration for the supply of the goods. 4 The Commissioners may by regulations make provision about accounting for VAT in relation to designated deposit schemes including, in particular, provision— a for the making of financial adjustments in connection with the liability to account for and pay VAT under subsection (2); b specifying the methods for calculating those adjustments; c specifying the methods for determining or estimating the proportion of supplies in respect of which deposit amounts are not repaid; d about the manner in which, and the period within which, adjustments are to be made (including adjustments for the correction of errors); e specifying the conditions subject to which adjustments are to be made; f conferring power on the Commissioners to make provision for the purposes of paragraphs (a) to (e) by means of a notice published in accordance with the regulations. 5 The power to make regulations under subsection (4) includes power to make (or to enable the Commissioners to make)— a different provision for different purposes; b different provision for different areas; c consequential, supplementary, incidental, transitional, transitory or saving provision.

“the 2022 Act” means the Dormant Assets Act 2022; “asset” means an asset within the scope of the dormant assets scheme (see section 1(6) of the 2022 Act); “authorised reclaim fund” has the same meaning as in the Dormant Assets Acts 2008 to 2022;

Disposal of derivatives where underlying subject matter is shares 14 1 In paragraph 53 (no chargeable gain on disposal of overseas land or certain shares), in sub-paragraph (4), at the appropriate place insert— “derivative contract” means— a derivative contract within the meaning of Part 7 of CTA 2009 (see section 576 of that Act), or a contract which is not a derivative contract within the meaning of that Part only as a result of section 589(2)(b) of that Act (general exclusion of contracts whose underlying subject matter consists of shares); . 2 That paragraph has effect, and is to be deemed always to have had effect, with the amendment made by sub-paragraph (1). Alternative finance arrangements 15 1 After paragraph 58 insert— Alternative finance arrangements 59 1 Sub-paragraph (2) applies for the purposes of determining the amounts of relevant interests in companies in accordance with paragraphs 3 to 6 and the provisions of Chapter 6 of Part 6 of CTA 2010 applied by those paragraphs. 2 Where a person has (in substance) a beneficial entitlement to the profits of a company as a result of qualifying alternative finance arrangements— a that entitlement is to be treated as an entitlement to a proportion of the profits of that company available for distribution to equity holders of the company, and b that person is to be treated as an equity holder. 3 “Qualifying alternative finance arrangements” means arrangements— a that constitute alternative finance arrangements for the purposes of Chapter 6 of Part 6 of CTA 2009 (alternative finance arrangements), or b that do not constitute alternative finance arrangements only as a result of section 508 of that Act (exclusion provision not at arms length). 4 But arrangements that are analogous to a normal commercial loan are not qualifying alternative finance arrangements. 5 Arrangements are analogous to a normal commercial loan if, were the arrangements structured as a loan that resulted in the same or similar entitlements of the parties to the arrangements, they would constitute a normal commercial loan within the meaning of section 162 of CTA 2010. 2 In paragraph 3, after sub-paragraph (5) insert— 5A See also paragraph 59, which makes provision for parties to alternative finance arrangements who are equivalent to equity holders to be treated as such. 3 In paragraph 58(1), in the definition of “equity holder” at the end insert “, but see also paragraph 59 of this Schedule”.

is treated as beer for the purposes of this Part.2“Beer-based beverage” means a beverage which is a mixture of beer and any of the following—afruit or ginger—icordial,iicarbonated water,iiijuice, orivsquash;blemonade or limeade;cunfermented ginger beer;dany alcoholic product or other alcoholic substance.3A beer-based beverage is “qualifying” if—ait would, apart from this paragraph, fall within paragraph 12 (other fermented products), andbit is of an alcoholic strength not exceeding 5.5%.Cider5“Cider” means a product which—ais obtained from the fermentation of apple juice or pear juice,bhas been produced without the addition, at any time, of—ianother alcoholic product, oriianything, other than a permitted substance, which communicates colour or flavour,csatisfies the juice content

juice included in the pre-fermentation mixture, andiithe volume of qualifying fruit juice added after fermentation begins,comprises at least 35% of the end product.2“Qualifying fruit juice” means apple or pear juice of a gravity of at least 1033 degrees.3The “gravity” of apple or pear juice in degrees is determined by—acalculating the ratio of the weight of the volume of the juice to the weight of an equal volume of distilled water (both as at 20°C), andbmultiplying that ratio by 1000.4“Pre-fermentation mixture” means the mixture of juice and other ingredients in which the fermentation (from which the cider is obtained) takes place, as that mixture exists immediately before the fermentation process begins.5If the cider consists of a blend of two or more products, each constituting cider, references in sub-paragraph (4) to the pre-fermentation mixture are to the pre-fermentation mixtures for each of those products taken as a whole.81“Sparkling cider” means cider which—aif it is packaged in a closed bottle, either—idue to the presence of carbon dioxide, the pressure in the bottle, measured at a temperature of 20°C, is not less than 3 bars in excess of atmospheric pressure, orii(regardless of the pressure) the bottle has a mushroom-shaped stopper held in place by a tie or fastening;bif it is not packaged in a closed bottle, has characteristics similar to those of cider which (while packaged in a closed bottle) falls within paragraph (a)(i).2Cider is to be regarded as having been rendered sparkling if—aas a result of aeration, fermentation or any other process, it falls within sub-paragraph (1), orb(if not previously rendered sparkling under paragraph (a)) it is transferred into a closed bottle which has, or the stopper of its bottle is exchanged for, a stopper of the kind mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a)(ii).9Rendering cider sparkling, at any time after the excise duty point in relation to that cider, is treated for the purposes of this Part as producing sparkling cider.10“Still cider” means cider that is not sparkling cider.Wine11“Wine” means any product obtained from the alcoholic fermentation of fresh grapes or of the must of fresh grapes (whether or not the product is fortified with spirits).Other fermented products12“Other fermented product” means a product which—ais either—iobtained from the alcoholic fermentation of

10Penalties for contraventions of alcohol wholesaling provisionsSection 105Liability to penalty1A penalty is payable by a person (“P”) who contravenes section 100(1) or 103(1).Amount of penalty21If the contravention is deliberate and concealed, the amount of the penalty is the maximum amount (see paragraph 10).2If the contravention is deliberate but not concealed, the amount of the penalty is 70% of the maximum amount.3In any other case, the amount of the penalty is 30% of the maximum amount.4The contravention is—a“deliberate and concealed” if the contravention is deliberate and P makes arrangements to conceal the contravention, andb“deliberate but not concealed” if the contravention is deliberate but P does not make arrangements to conceal the contravention.Reductions for disclosure31Paragraph 4 provides for reductions in penalties under this Schedule where P discloses a contravention.2P discloses a contravention by—atelling the Commissioners about it,bgiving the Commissioners reasonable help in identifying any other contraventions of section 100(1) or 103(1) of which P is aware, andcallowing the Commissioners access to records for the purpose of identifying such contraventions.3Disclosure of a contravention—ais “unprompted” if made at a time when P has no reason to believe that the Commissioners have discovered or are about to discover the contravention, andbotherwise, is “prompted”.4In relation to disclosure “quality” includes timing, nature and extent.41Where P discloses a contravention, the Commissioners must reduce the penalty to one that reflects the quality of the disclosure.2If the disclosure is prompted, the penalty may not be reduced below—ain the case of a contravention that is deliberate and concealed, 50% of the maximum amount,bin the case of a contravention that is deliberate but not concealed, 35% of the maximum amount, andcin any other case, 20% of the maximum amount.3If the disclosure is unprompted, the penalty may not be reduced below—ain the case of a contravention that is deliberate and concealed, 30% of the maximum amount,bin the case of a contravention that is deliberate but not concealed, 20% of the maximum amount, andcin any other case, 10% of the maximum amount.Special reduction51If the Commissioners think it right because of special circumstances, they may reduce a penalty under this Schedule.2In sub-paragraph (1) “special circumstances” does not include ability to pay.3In sub-paragraph (1) the reference to reducing a penalty includes a reference to—astaying a penalty, andbagreeing a compromise in relation to proceedings for a penalty.Assessment61Where P becomes liable for a penalty under this Schedule, the Commissioners must—aassess the penalty,bnotify P, andcstate in the notice the contravention in respect of which the penalty is assessed.2A penalty under this Schedule must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which notification of the penalty is issued.3An assessment is to be treated as an amount of duty due from P under this Act and may be recovered accordingly.4An assessment of a penalty under this Schedule may not be made later than one year after evidence of facts sufficient in the opinion of the Commissioners to indicate the contravention comes to their knowledge.5Two or more contraventions may be treated by the Commissioners as a single contravention for the purposes of assessing a penalty under this Schedule.Reasonable excuse71Liability to a penalty does not arise under this Schedule in respect of a contravention which is not deliberate if P satisfies the Commissioners or (on an appeal made to the appeal tribunal) the tribunal that there is a reasonable excuse for the contravention.2For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), where P relies on any other person to do anything, that is not a reasonable excuse unless P took reasonable care to avoid the contravention.Companies: officer’s liability81Where a penalty under this Schedule is payable by a company in respect of a contravention which was attributable to an officer of the company, the officer is liable to pay such portion of the penalty (which may be 100%) as the Commissioners may specify by written notice to the officer.2Sub-paragraph (1) does not allow the Commissioners to recover more than 100% of a penalty.3In the application of sub-paragraph (1) to a body corporate other than a limited liability partnership, “officer” means—aa director (including a shadow director within the meaning of section 251 of the Companies Act 2006),ba manager, andca secretary.4In the application of sub-paragraph (1) to a limited liability partnership, “officer” means a member.5In the application of sub-paragraph (1) in any other case, “officer” means—aa director,ba manager,ca secretary, anddany other person managing or purporting to manage any of the company’s affairs.6Where the Commissioners have specified a portion of a penalty in a notice given to an officer under sub-paragraph (1)—aparagraph 5 applies to the specified portion as to a penalty,bthe officer must pay the specified portion before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given,csub-paragraphs (3) to (5) of paragraph 6 apply as if the notice were an assessment of a penalty, anddparagraph 9 applies as if the officer were liable to a penalty.7In this paragraph “company” means any body corporate or unincorporated association, but does not include a partnership.Double jeopardy9P is not liable to a penalty under this Schedule in respect of a contravention in respect of which P has been convicted of an offence.The maximum amount101In this Schedule, “the maximum amount” means £10,000.2If it appears to the Treasury that there has been a change in the value of money since the last relevant date, the Treasury may by regulations substitute for the sum for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (1) such other sum as appears to them to be justified by the change.3In sub-paragraph (2), “relevant date” means—athe date on which the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 is passed, andbeach date on which the power conferred by that sub-paragraph has been exercised.4Regulations under this paragraph do not apply to any contravention which occurred before the date on which they come into force.Appeal tribunal11In this Schedule “appeal tribunal” has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the FA 1994.Schedule 11Alcohol duty: reviews and appealsSection 10811Section 13A(2) of FA 1994 (meaning of “relevant

group, unless a nomination under sub-paragraph (2) is in force.2The nomination referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is a nomination by the ultimate parent of the group that another person should act as the filing member.3The ultimate parent may only nominate a person if—athe person is a member of the group, andbthe person is a company.4If the ultimate parent nominates a person under sub-paragraph (2), they must—anominate the same person as the filing member for the purposes of Schedule 18;bif the nomination ceases to be in force, revoke the nomination referred to in paragraph (a);cif the nomination referred to in paragraph (a) ceases to be in force, revoke the nomination.5The ultimate parent must provide the person nominated with everything the person may reasonably require in order to comply with the obligations of a filing member under this Schedule.6While a nomination under sub-paragraph (2) is in force, the filing member of a multinational group is the person nominated.7A nomination is in force from the time it is made until any of the following events occurs—athe ultimate parent nominates another person;bthe person nominated ceases to be a member of the group;cthe person nominated ceases to be a company;dthe ultimate parent revokes the nomination;ean officer of Revenue and Customs revokes the nomination.8An officer of Revenue and Customs may revoke a nomination if the officer considers that—athe ultimate parent is not complying with its obligation under sub-paragraph (5), orbthe person nominated is not complying with the obligations of a filing member under this Schedule.9An officer of Revenue and Customs revokes a nomination by notifying the ultimate parent and the nominated person of the revocation.10The revocation has effect when the notification is issued.11Any nomination, or revocation of a nomination, must be in writing.12Paragraph 3 makes provision for circumstances in which the ultimate parent is the filing member but is not a company.13Paragraph 4 makes specific provision for a multinational group that is part of a multi-parent group.14Paragraph 5 makes provision for the effect of the filing member of a multinational group changing.31This paragraph applies where—athe filing member of a multinational group is its ultimate parent, andbthe ultimate parent is not a company.2The obligations of the filing member under this Schedule may be met by—ain the case of a partnership other than a limited partnership ..., any partner;bin the case of a limited partnership, any general partner;c. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .din the case of a trust, any trustee;ein the case of any other arrangement, any person responsible for preparing the separate financial accounts.3In this Schedule—a“limited partnership” includes an entity established under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom that is equivalent to a limited partnership, andb“general partner” includes a partner of such an entity that corresponds to a general partner.4See also section 232A, which contains provision about the continuity of partnerships which is relevant to this paragraph.5Where an obligation of a partnership may be met by one of its partners and the partnership does not comply with that obligation—aan officer of Revenue and Customs may by notice require any such partner to meet the obligation, andbthat partner is to be treated for that purpose as the filing member (and accordingly may be subject to any penalty for a failure to comply).41The obligations of a filing member of a multinational group that is part of a multi-parent group may be met by the filing member of any of the groups that are part of that multi-parent group, subject to sub-paragraph (2).2The obligations of the filing member may not be met by a person nominated under paragraph 2(2) unless the ultimate parent of each group forming the multi-parent group has authorised the nomination.3Any authorisation must be in writing.51This paragraph applies if at any time (“the relevant time”) a person (“the new filing member”) becomes the filing member of a multinational group in place of another person (“the old filing member”).2The obligations and liabilities of the new filing member under this Schedule include any obligations and liabilities the old filing member had under this Schedule.3Anything done as the filing member of the group by or in relation to the old filing member, before the relevant time, is treated as having been done by or in relation to the new filing member.4Accordingly, a penalty may be imposed on the new filing member in respect of anything done before the relevant time if, at that time, a penalty could have been imposed on the old filing member in respect of the thing done.5Anything done by HMRC in relation to the old filing member under this Schedule, before the end of the day the change is notified, is treated for all purposes under this Schedule as done in relation to the new filing member.6Anything that, at any time during the period beginning with the relevant time and ending with the day the change is notified, is in the process of being done under this Schedule in relation to the old filing member may be continued in relation to the new filing member.7Accordingly, any reference in an enactment or other instrument to the filing member of the group is to be read, so far as necessary for the purposes of giving effect to any of sub-paragraphs (2) to (6), as being or including a reference to the new filing member.8In this paragraph—aany reference to an act includes an omission;bany reference to the day the change is notified is to the day on which an officer of Revenue and Customs receives notification that the new filing member has become the filing member of the group.9Nothing in this paragraph—aprevents HMRC or anyone else, after the relevant time, from imposing a penalty, exercising any other power, or doing anything else, in relation to the old filing member in respect of anything done before the relevant time, orbaffects the validity of anything done before the relevant time.Part 3Registration61The filing member of a multinational group must register with HMRC if the group becomes a qualifying multinational group.1AThe reference to a multinational group in sub-paragraph (1) does not include a group exclusively comprised of excluded entities (who are only regarded as members of the group for certain purposes in accordance with section 127(2)).2For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), a multinational group becomes a qualifying multinational group on the first day of the first accounting period it is a qualifying multinational group (the “trigger day”).3A filing member registers with HMRC by providing specified information to HMRC.4The specified information is—athe name of the filing member;bthe name of the ultimate parent (if different to the filing member);cthe date of the trigger day;dthe date on which the accounting period in which the trigger day occurs will end or has ended;eany other information that may be specified in a notice published by HMRC.5The information must be provided in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.6The information must be provided by the end of the period of six months beginning with the day after the accounting period in which the trigger day occurs ends.7In this Schedule, a “registered group” means a multinational group that is registered under this paragraph.8A multinational group is registered under this paragraph if—athe filing member of the group has registered under this paragraph, andba notice of de-registration is not in force in relation to the registration (see paragraph 7).9Paragraphs 8 and 9 provide further notification requirements in relation to a registered group.71This paragraph applies where the filing member of a multinational group has registered under paragraph 6.2An officer of Revenue and Customs may issue the filing member with a notice of de-registration in relation to the registration.3The effect of an officer issuing a notice of de-registration is that, beginning with the effective date, the registration to which the notice relates is not to be treated as a registration under paragraph 6.4“The effective date” is a date specified in or determined by reference to the notice as the date on which the notice takes effect.5But a notice of de-registration does not affect the validity of a registration for the purposes of any obligation arising before the effective date.6An officer of Revenue and Customs may issue a notice of de-registration only if—athe filing member has applied for such a notice, andbit appears to the officer that the group will not be a qualifying multinational group for any accounting period beginning with the period in which the effective date falls.81This paragraph applies where the filing member of a registered group changes.2The new filing member must notify HMRC of the change before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the day the change occurs.3But, if the change occurs before the end of the period referred to in paragraph 6(6), the new filing member may notify HMRC of the change at any time before the end of that period even if later than the end of the period in sub-paragraph (2).4The notification must be given in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.91The filing member of a registered group must notify HMRC of any other change to the information provided under paragraph 6.2The notification must be given before the end of the period of 6 months beginning with the day on which the change occurs.3But, if the change occurs before the end of the period referred to in paragraph 6(6), the filing member may notify HMRC of the change at any time before the end of that period even if later than the end of the period in sub-paragraph (2).4The notification must be given in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.Part 4Information returns101The filing member of a registered group must submit an information return to HMRC for each accounting period in which the group is a qualifying multinational group, unless sub-paragraph (4) applies.2An “information return” is a return containing the following information—aidentification of the members of the group;binformation on the overall corporate structure of the group;cinformation relevant to the determination of effective tax rates, top-up amounts or allocation of top-up amounts;dsuch other information specified in a notice published by HMRC as HMRC may consider relevant to the sharing of information between Pillar Two territories in connection with the Pillar Two rules.3HMRC may specify in a notice the particular items of information to be submitted as part of an information return.4This sub-paragraph applies if an information return has been submitted for that period to another qualifying authority.5A “qualifying authority” is an authority outside the United Kingdom with which HMRC has an agreement under which the authority will share the information contained in information returns submitted to that authority with HMRC.6If sub-paragraph (4) applies, the filing member must notify HMRC (an “overseas return notification”).7An information return or overseas return notification must be submitted in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.8HMRC may specify in a notice that other information is to be provided together with an overseas return notification.9An information return or overseas return notification must be submitted by the end of the period of 15 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period in respect of which the return or notification is being submitted.10But the longer period in sub-paragraph (11) applies if the return or notification is being submitted in respect of the first accounting period in relation to which the group is a registered group.11Where this sub-paragraph applies, the information return or overseas return notification must be submitted by the end of the period of 18 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period.12Where (ignoring this sub-paragraph) the date by which an information return or overseas return notification must be submitted falls before 30 June 2026, the date by which that return or notification must be submitted is 30 June 2026 instead.111The filing member may amend a return submitted under paragraph 10 by notice to HMRC.2The filing member may further amend a return previously amended by further notice to HMRC.3No amendment may be made after the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day after the latest date by which the return or notification was required to be submitted under paragraph 10.4An amendment must be submitted in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.12HMRC may take into account an information return in performing any of its functions.Part 5Self-assessment returns131The filing member of a registered group must submit a self-assessment return to HMRC for each accounting period, unless sub-paragraph (3) applies.2A “self-assessment return” is a return containing—aan assessment by the filing member as to—iwhich members of the group are chargeable to multinational top-up tax, andiithe amount of multinational top-up tax is chargeable to each such member, andbsuch other information as may be specified in a notice published by HMRC.3This sub-paragraph applies if—athe conditions in sub-paragraph (5) are met in relation to the group for the accounting period,bthe filing member has submitted a below-threshold notification to HMRC, andcthe filing member has not withdrawn the below-threshold notification.4A “below-threshold notification” is a notification that the filing member—aconsiders that the conditions in sub-paragraph (5) are met for an accounting period, andbdoes not expect that the conditions will cease to be met for that accounting period or any subsequent accounting period.5The conditions are that—athe group was not a qualifying multinational group in the accounting period, andbthe group is unlikely to be a qualifying multinational group in the next two accounting periods.6A self-assessment return or below-threshold notification must be submitted in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.7HMRC may specify in a notice that other information is to be provided together with a below-threshold notification.8A self-assessment return or below-threshold notification must be submitted by the end of the period of 15 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period in respect of which the return or notification is being submitted.9But the longer period in sub-paragraph (10) applies if a self-assessment return is being submitted in respect of the first accounting period in relation to which the group is a registered group.10Where this sub-paragraph applies, the self-assessment return must be submitted by the end of the period of 18 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period.11Where (ignoring this sub-paragraph) the date by which a self assessment return or below-threshold notification must be submitted falls before 30 June 2026, the date by which that return or notification must be submitted is instead 30 June 2026 instead.141The filing member may amend a return submitted under paragraph 13 by notice to HMRC.2The filing member may further amend a return previously amended by further notice to HMRC.3No amendment may be made after the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day after the latest date by which the return or notification was required to be submitted under paragraph 13.4An amendment must be submitted in the way specified in a notice published by HMRC.Part 6Enquiries into a self-assessment return151This Part of this Schedule applies if the filing member of a multinational group has submitted a self-assessment return under paragraph 13 for an accounting period.2In this Part “return” means a self-assessment return (including as amended under paragraph 14).161An officer of Revenue and Customs may enquire into the return if, within the time allowed, the officer gives notice to the filing member of the officer's intention to do so.2The time allowed is—aif the return was submitted on or before the submission date, up to the end of the period of 12 months after the submission date;bif the return was submitted after the submission date, up to and including the quarter day next following the first anniversary of the day on which the return was delivered;cif the return is amended under paragraph 14, up to and including the quarter day next following the first anniversary of the day on which the return was amended.3The submission date is the day ending the period for submission of the return referred to in paragraph 13(8) (or the longer period referred to in paragraph 13(10) where applicable).4The quarter days are 31 January, 30 April, 31 July and 31 October.5A notice under this paragraph is referred to in this Part of this Schedule as a “notice of enquiry”.6A return that has been the subject of one notice of enquiry may not be the subject of another, except one given in consequence of an amendment of the return.171An enquiry may extend to anything contained in the return, or required to be contained in the return, including anything that relates—ato the question of whether multinational top-up tax is chargeable in respect of the accounting period, orbto the amount of tax so chargeable.2But, where the notice of enquiry is given in consequence of an amendment of a return—aat a time when it is no longer possible to give a notice of enquiry under paragraph 16(2)(a) or (b),bafter a partial closure notice (see paragraph 22(1)) has been issued in relation to the matters to which the amendment relates or which are affected by the amendment, orcafter an enquiry into a return has been completed,the enquiry into the return is limited to matters to which the amendment relates or that are affected by the amendment.181For the purposes of this Part an enquiry is in progress into a return for the whole of the period—abeginning with the day on which notice of enquiry is given in relation to that return, andbending with the day on which the enquiry is completed.2The enquiry is completed on the day a final closure notice is given (see paragraph 22(2)).191If at a time when an enquiry is in progress into a return an officer of Revenue and Customs forms the opinion—athat an amount stated in the return as the amount of multinational top-up tax payable by a member of the group is insufficient, andbthat unless the assessment in the return is immediately amended there is likely to be a loss of tax to the Crown,the officer may by notice in writing to the filing member amend the assessment to make good the deficiency.2In the case of an enquiry that under paragraph 17(2) is limited to matters arising from an amendment of the return, sub-paragraph (1) applies only so far as the deficiency is attributable to the amendment.3In the case of an enquiry in relation to which one or more partial closure notices have been given, sub-paragraph (1) applies only so far as the deficiency is attributable to matters not addressed by those notices.201This paragraph applies if a return is amended at a time when an enquiry is in progress into the return.2The amendment does not restrict the scope of the enquiry but may be taken into account (together with any matters arising) in the enquiry (whether or not the amendment takes effect under sub-paragraph (4)).3Sub-paragraph (4) applies where the amendment is made otherwise than under paragraph 19.4So far as the amendment affects the amount stated in the return as the amount of tax payable, the amendment does not take effect, in relation to any matter to which it relates or which is affected by it, while the enquiry is in progress, except to the extent that—aa partial closure notice has been given in relation to a matter to which the amendment relates or which is affected by it, andbthe notice states that the amendment is to take effect.5The final closure notice—amust state whether and to what extent an amendment whose effect is deferred under sub-paragraph (4) is to take effect;bmay state that an amendment made under paragraph 19, and whose effect is not terminated or amended by a partial closure notice, is to cease to have effect or is to be amended as specified in the notice.211At any time when an enquiry is in progress into a return any question arising in connection with the subject-matter of the enquiry may be referred to the tribunal for determination.2Notice of the referral must be given to the tribunal jointly by the filing member and an officer of Revenue and Customs.3More than one notice of referral may be given in relation to an enquiry.4An officer of Revenue and Customs or the filing member may withdraw a notice of referral.5The effect of the notice being withdrawn is that the questions referred are not (unless they have already been finally determined) to be finally determined by the tribunal.6While proceedings on a referral are in progress in relation to an enquiry—ano closure notice may be given in relation to the enquiry, andbno application may be made for a direction to give such a notice.7Proceedings are in progress where—anotice of referral has been given,bthe notice has not been withdrawn, andcthe questions referred have not been finally determined.8In this paragraph, a question referred is finally determined when—ait has been determined by the tribunal, andbthere is no further possibility of the determination being varied or set aside (disregarding any power to grant permission to appeal out of time).9The determination of a question referred to the tribunal is binding on the parties to the referral in the same way, and to the same extent, as a decision on a preliminary issue in an appeal under Part 12 of this Schedule.10The determination must be taken into account by an officer of Revenue and Customs—ain reaching the officer's conclusions on the enquiry, andbin formulating any amendments of the return required to give effect to those conclusions.11The question determined may not be reopened on an appeal under Part 12 of this Schedule, except to the extent that it could be reopened if it had been determined as a preliminary issue in that appeal.221Any matter to which an enquiry into a return relates is completed by an officer of Revenue and Customs giving the filing member a partial closure notice.2An enquiry into a return is completed by an officer of Revenue and Customs giving the filing member a final closure notice.3In this Part of this Schedule, “closure notice” means a partial closure notice or a final closure notice.4A closure notice is a notice stating—athat the enquiry, or the enquiry in so far as it relates to a particular matter, is complete;bthe conclusion reached in the enquiry.5The conclusion must be one of the following—athat no amendment of the return is required, orbthat the amendments of the return specified in the notice are to be made.6A closure notice takes effect when it is given to the filing member.7The officer—amust provide additional information together with the notice as to the basis for the conclusion;bmay provide such other information as the officer thinks fit.8A final closure notice may not, in relation to a matter to which a partial closure notice relates, state a different conclusion in respect of that matter to that stated in the partial closure notice.231The filing member may apply to the tribunal for a direction that an officer of Revenue and Customs give a closure notice within a specified period.2The tribunal hearing the application must give a direction unless satisfied that HMRC has reasonable grounds for not giving a closure notice within a specified period.3An application under this paragraph is to be treated as an appeal under Part 12 of this Schedule.Part 7Determinations where self-assessment return not submitted24This Part of this Schedule applies if the filing member of a multinational group has not submitted a self-assessment return under paragraph 13 for an accounting period.251An officer of Revenue and Customs may make a determination if—athe group is not a registered group and the officer has reasonable grounds to believe the group should be, orbthe officer has reasonable grounds to believe the filing member should have submitted a self-assessment return.2A “determination” is a determination by the officer to the best of the officer’s knowledge and belief as to the total amount of tax payable by a member of the group for the accounting period.3The officer must give notice of the determination to the filing member.4The notice must state the date on which it was issued.5No determination may be made—aon or before the last date on which the return was required to be submitted or would have been so required had the group been a registered group;bmore than 3 years after that date.261If, after a determination has been made—aa self-assessment return is submitted for the accounting period, andban information return or overseas return notification has been submitted for that period,the assessment in the self-assessment return supersedes the assessment in the determination.2Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to a self-assessment return delivered after the later of—athe day 3 years after the day on which the power to make the determination first became exercisable, andbthe day 12 months after the date of the determination.3Where—aproceedings have begun for the recovery of any tax assessed in a determination, andbbefore the proceedings are concluded the determination is superseded under sub-paragraph (1),the proceedings may be continued as if they were proceedings for the recovery of so much of the tax assessed in the self-assessment return as is due and payable and has not been paid.4Where—aaction is being taken under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the F(No.2)A 2015 (enforcement of deduction from accounts) for the recovery of an amount (“the original amount”) of tax assessed in a determination, andbbefore that action is concluded the determination is superseded under sub-paragraph (1),that action may be continued as if it were an action for the recovery of so much of the tax assessed in the return as is due and payable, has not been paid and does not exceed the original amount.Part 8Discovery assessments271If, in respect of an accounting period, an officer of Revenue and Customs discovers that—aan amount of multinational top-up tax that ought to have been assessed in respect of a multinational group has not been assessed, orban assessment to tax is or has become insufficient,the officer may make an assessment (a “discovery assessment”) in the amount which ought in the officer's opinion to be charged in order to make good to the Crown the loss of tax.2This is subject to the restrictions in paragraph 28.281This paragraph applies where the filing member of the group has submitted a self-assessment return under paragraph 13 for the accounting period in respect of which the officer makes a discovery assessment.2Where this paragraph applies, the power to make a discovery assessment—amay only be made in the two cases specified in sub-paragraphs (3) and (4), andbmay not be made in the circumstances specified in sub-paragraph (6).3The first case is where the situation mentioned in paragraph 27(1) was brought about carelessly or deliberately on the part of—aa member of the group of which the person forms part, orba person acting on behalf of a member of the group.4The second case is where an officer of Revenue and Customs, at the time the officer—aceased to be entitled to give a notice of enquiry into the return submitted in respect of the group for the accounting period, orbcompleted an enquiry into the return,could not have been reasonably expected, on the basis of the information made available to the officer before that time, to be aware of the situation mentioned in paragraph 27(1).5For this purpose information is regarded as made available to the officer of Revenue and Customs if—ait is contained in a self-assessment return, an information return, an overseas return notification or a below-threshold notification for the accounting period in question or either of the two immediately preceding accounting periods,bit is contained in any documents produced or information provided by the filing member for the purposes of an enquiry into any such return or notification, orcit is information the existence of which, and the relevance of which as regards the situation mentioned in paragraph 27(1)—icould reasonably be expected to be inferred by the officer of Revenue and Customs from information falling within paragraph (a) or (b), oriiare notified in writing to an officer of Revenue and Customs by the filing member or another person acting on the filing member's behalf.6No discovery assessment may be made if—athe situation mentioned in paragraph 27(1) is attributable to a mistake in the return as to the basis on which the tax liability ought to have been calculated, andbthe return was in fact made on the basis or in accordance with the practice generally prevailing at the time it was made.291The general rule is that no discovery assessment may be made more than 4 years after the end of the accounting period to which it relates.2A discovery assessment in a case involving a loss of tax brought about carelessly by a member of the group (or a person acting on their behalf) may be made at any time not more than 6 years after the end of the accounting period to which it relates.3A discovery assessment in a case involving a loss of tax brought about deliberately by a member of the group (or a person acting on their behalf) may be made at any time not more than 20 years after the end of the accounting period to which it relates.4A discovery assessment in a case involving a loss of tax brought about as a result of a failure of a filing member to register with HMRC under paragraph 6 may be made at any time not more than 20 years after the end of the accounting period to which it relates.301The officer of Revenue and Customs must give notice of a discovery assessment to the filing member.2The notice must state—athe tax due,bthe date on which the notice is issued, andcthe time within which any appeal against the assessment must be made.3After notice of the assessment has been served under this paragraph, the assessment may not be altered except as provided for by or under this Schedule.4Where an officer of Revenue and Customs has—adecided to make an assessment to tax, andbtaken all other decisions needed for arriving at the amount of the assessment,the officer may entrust to another officer of Revenue and Customs the responsibility for completing the assessing procedure, whether by means involving the use of a computer or otherwise, including responsibility for serving notice of the assessment.Part 9Record-keeping requirements311The filing member of the group must—akeep such records as may be needed to enable it to deliver correct and complete returns if required, andbpreserve those records in accordance with this paragraph.2The records must be preserved until the end of the relevant day.3“The relevant day” means—athe later of—ithe ninth anniversary of the last day of the accounting period to which the records relate, andiiif a self-assessment return relating to that accounting period is submitted and a notice of enquiry into that return has been given before the anniversary referred to in sub-paragraph (i), the day at the end of the period of six months beginning with the day the enquiry is completed;bsuch earlier day as may be specified in a notice published by HMRC (and different days may be specified for different cases).4The duty to preserve records may be satisfied—aby preserving them in any form and by any means, orbby preserving the information contained in them in any form and by any means,subject to any conditions or exceptions specified in a notice published by HMRC.Part 10Payments of multinational top-up taxTiming of payments321Multinational top-up tax due must be paid by the end of the period of 15 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period.2But the longer period in sub-paragraph (3) applies if the liability to pay tax arises in respect of the first accounting period in relation to which a group is a qualifying multinational group.3Where this sub-paragraph applies, multinational top-up tax due must be paid by the end of the period of 18 months beginning with the day after the end of the accounting period.3AWhere (ignoring this sub-paragraph) the date on which an amount of multinational top-up tax must be paid falls before 30 June 2026, the date on which it must be paid is 30 June 2026 instead.4A person’s liability to pay multinational top-up tax may be discharged by another member of the multinational group to which the liability relates (but see paragraph 37).<P1 DocumentURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/30/schedule/14/paragraph/33" IdURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ukpga/2023/30/schedule/14/paragraph/33"

multinational group of multinational top-up tax (including any interest on that amount) is not paid by the end of the period of three months beginning with the relevant date.2A group payment notice may be issued to any person who is a member of the group or who was a member of the group at any time in the accounting period to which the amount payable relates (wherever in the world they are located), subject to paragraph 35 where the group contains ring-fenced entities.2AThe references to a member of a group in sub-paragraph (2) do not include a member of a group that is—aa securitisation company (within the meaning given by section 267(4)),ba covered bond vehicle (within the meaning given by section 272A(5)), orcan investment entity.3A group payment notice is a notice requiring the recipient to pay an outstanding amount of multinational top-up tax payable by a member of the group by a date specified in the notice.4The notice may not specify a date earlier than the date 30 days after the notice is issued.5A group payment notice must state—athe amount of any tax that remains unpaid,bthe date any tax first became payable, andcthe member's right of appeal (see paragraph 36(3)).6A group payment notice may not be issued more than 3 years and 6 months after the relevant date.7If the amount payable is as assessed in a self-assessment return, the relevant date is the later of—athe date on which multinational top-up tax must be paid;bin a case where the return is delivered after the submission date, the date on which the return is delivered;cif notice of enquiry is given, the date on which the enquiry is completed;dif as a result of such an enquiry the return is amended, the date of the closure notice in relation to that enquiry;eif there is an appeal against the closure notice, the date on which the appeal is finally determined.8If the amount payable is as assessed in a discovery assessment, the relevant date is—aif there is no appeal against the assessment, the date on which the notice of assessment is issued, orbif there is such an appeal, the date on which the appeal is finally determined.9If the amount payable is as assessed in a determination that has not been superseded, the relevant date is the date on which notice of the determination was issued.<P1

agreement in writing between the appellant and an officer of Revenue and Customs that is—aentered into before the appeal is determined, andbto the effect that the decision appealed against should be upheld without variation, varied in a particular manner or discharged or cancelled.2Where a settlement agreement is entered into in relation to an appeal, the consequences are to be the same (for all purposes) as if, at the time the agreement was entered into, the tribunal had decided the appeal and had upheld the decision without variation, varied it in that manner or discharged or cancelled it, as the case may be.3Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply if, within 30 days beginning with the date on which the settlement agreement was entered into, the appellant gives notice in writing to HMRC that it wishes to withdraw from the agreement.4Sub-paragraph (5) applies where notice of an appeal has been given and—athe appellant notifies HMRC, orally or in writing, that the appellant does not wish to proceed with the appeal, andbHMRC does not, within 30 days after that notification, give the appellant notice in writing indicating that HMRC is unwilling that the appeal should be withdrawn.5Sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) have effect as if, at the date of the appellant's notification, the appellant and an officer of Revenue and Customs had agreed that the decision under appeal should be upheld without variation.Determination by tribunal621The appellant may notify the appeal to the tribunal.2If the tribunal decides that a person is overcharged to multinational top-up tax, the assessment must be reduced accordingly.3If the tribunal decides that a person is undercharged to multinational top-up tax, the assessment must be increased accordingly.4In a case where neither sub-paragraph (2) or (3) apply, the assessment is to stand good.5On the determination of the appeal—aany tax overpaid must be repaid as if a claim had been made under paragraph 51 on the day notice of the appeal was given to HMRC;bany tax payable in accordance with the determination is payable in accordance with paragraph 32.6Interest is to be incurred on amounts payable in accordance with those paragraphs.7Where a party to an appeal to the tribunal makes a further appeal, tax is to be payable or repayable in accordance with the determination of the tribunal or court (as the case may be), even though the further appeal is pending.8But if the amount charged by the assessment is altered by the order or judgment of the Upper Tribunal or court, then—aif too much tax has been paid, the amount overpaid must be refunded, with any interest allowed by the order or judgment, andbif too little tax has been charged, the tax is payable in accordance with paragraph 32.9The determination of the tribunal is final and conclusive except as otherwise provided in sections 10 to 16 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.Postponement of payment pending appeal631The general rule is that an appeal under this Part of this Schedule does not postpone any liability to pay multinational top-up tax.2Accordingly, the periods within which tax is payable under paragraph 32 continue to apply notwithstanding an appeal.3But a liability may be postponed if—aa determination is made by HMRC to that effect;ba direction is made by a tribunal to that effect;cHMRC and the appellant agree to a postponement.4The effect of a liability being postponed is that the period within which the tax is payable is extended by the period of the postponement.5The period of the postponement—amay not begin after the date the appeal is determined;bis to end on the date the appeal is determined.<P1 DocumentURI="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/30/schedule/14/paragraph/64"

member of a multinational group to another member of that group,bthe Pillar Two rules do not apply to the transferor for the accounting period in which the transfer takes place (but in determining this, section 255(4) has effect as if sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (b) were omitted),baa qualifying domestic top-up tax does not apply in relation to the transferor for that period, andcthe transfer took place on or after 1 December 2021.2But sub-paragraph (3) does not apply in relation to a transfer of assets manufactured, or of a class or description sold, in the course of carrying on a trade by the transferor or the transferee.3Where this sub-paragraph applies, for the purposes of Part 3 of this Act—athe value of the assets at the relevant time is the carrying value of the assets in the hands of the transferor immediately before the transfer, ...bany deferred tax asset that would arise in relation to the assets in the underlying profits of the transferee is limited to the lesser of the cap amount and the sum of—ithe value of deferred tax assets that arose in relation to the assets before their transfer, andiithe tax paid amount in relation to the transfer of assets , andca deferred tax asset is ignored if it is a deferred tax asset arising as described in section 185(7A) or (7B).3AFor the purposes of determining the value of a deferred tax asset under sub-paragraph (3)(b)(i)—aif the rate of tax in relation to that asset is greater than 15%, the value is to be adjusted so that it reflects the value it would be if the rate had been 15%, andbexclude the impact of any valuation adjustments or accounting recognition adjustments.4For the purposes of this paragraph “the relevant time” means the later of—athe date of the transfer, andbthe commencement of the first accounting period in which the Pillar Two rules apply to the transferee.i. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ii. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5Where the relevant time is after the date of the transfer—athe value of the assets at the relevant time is to be adjusted to reflect—icapitalised expenditure incurred in respect of the assets in the period between the date of the transfer and the relevant time, andiiamortisation and depreciation of the assets that, had the transfer not occurred, would have been recognised by the transferor if the transferor had continued to use the accounting policies and rates for amortisation and depreciation of the assets previously used, andbthe tax paid amount in relation to the transfer of the assets , and the value of deferred tax assets that arose in relation to the assets before their transfer, are to be adjusted to reflect the matters referred to in paragraph (a)(i) and (ii).6To determine the “tax paid amount” in relation to a transfer of assets take the following steps—Step 1Determine the amount of the tax expense of the transferor in relation to the transfer of the assets that relates to covered taxes.Step 2Determine the amount, if any, of qualifying current tax expense relating to the transfer of the assets that would have been allocated to the transferor as a result of section 177 or 179 (permanent establishments and controlled foreign company regimes) if— the ultimate parent had been located in the United Kingdom and the accounting period commenced on or after 31 December 2023, and section 179(2) (restriction of allocation of mobile income) were ignored.Step 3Add together the amounts determined under Steps 1 and 2.7In determining the tax expense of the transferor in relation to the transfer of the assets—awhere any loss arising in the accounting period in which the transfer took place is offset against any taxable gain arising on the transfer, ignore that offsetting, andbexclude the impact of any valuation adjustments or accounting recognition adjustments.8The “cap amount” in relation to a transfer of assets is the amount given by—adividing—ithe amount of tax expense determined under Step 1 in sub-paragraph (6), byiithe nominal rate of tax to which that expense relates, andbmultiplying the result of paragraph (a) by 15%.9Where the sum of the tax paid amount and the value of deferred tax assets that arose in relation to the assets before their transfer is greater than the cap amount ..., the filing member may elect that sub-paragraph (3) does not apply in relation to the transfer of assets.10Paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 (annual elections) applies to an election under sub-paragraph (9).11For the purposes of this paragraph, a“a transfer of assets” includes a transaction that relates to assets that does not result in a change in their ownership if the transaction has a similar effect for accounting purposes to a change in ownership of those assets;ba qualifying domestic top-up tax is not to be taken as applying to a member of a multinational group if provision for a QDMTT Safe Harbour (within

the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, a country-by-country report in relation to a territory is “qualifying” if all relevant information relating to the territory is prepared on the basis of qualified financial statements of the multinational group (see paragraph 4).7AFor the purposes of sub-paragraph (7), “all relevant information” means all of the information described in paragraphs (a)

group means—athe accounts used to prepare the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent provided the statements are prepared in accordance with acceptable accounting standards or an authorised accounting standard, orbfinancial statements of members of the group provided—ithey are prepared in accordance with acceptable accounting standards or an authorised accounting standard, andiithe information contained in those statements is reliable and is maintained in a manner that is consistent with its use under the accounting standard used in preparing those statements.1ABut see also paragraph 4A in cases where those accounts or statements reflect purchase price accounting adjustments.2Where a member of a multinational group is not included in consolidated financial statements of any member of the group on a line-by-line basis solely due to size or materiality grounds, the financial accounts of that member that are used for preparation of the group’s country-by-country report are to be regarded as forming part of the qualified financial statements of the group.3For the purposes of establishing whether the tests in paragraphs 7 to 9 are met in

...bany amount that relates to an uncertain tax position , andcany amount that relates to a deferred tax asset arising as described in section 185(7A) or (7B) or that relates to a relevant pre-entry deferred tax liability.2For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, any amount of qualifying income tax expense that is in respect of profits of a permanent establishment and that is incurred in the territory of the permanent establishment is to be regarded as the expense of that permanent establishment (rather than of the main entity).Adjustments61Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the adjusted profits of the ultimate parent of a multinational group for an accounting period would be reduced as a result of section 171(1) (ultimate parent subject to deductible dividend regime).2Where this sub-paragraph applies the profit (loss) before income tax of the ultimate parent for that period is to be reduced (but not below nil) by the amount referred to in section 171(1).3Sub-paragraph (4) applies where—athe standard members of a multinational group in a territory have a net unrealised fair value loss for an accounting period, andbthat loss exceeds 50 million euros.4Where this sub-paragraph applies, those losses are to be excluded from the aggregate profit (loss) before income tax of those members.5For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), the standard members of a multinational group in a territory have a net unrealised fair value loss for an accounting period to the extent their losses that arise from changes in fair value of relevant ownership interests exceed gains arising from changes in fair value of relevant ownership interests.6An ownership interest in an entity is relevant unless, at the end of the accounting period, the members of the multinational group do not between them have ownership interests that entitle them to 10% or more of the entity’s —aprofits,bcapital,creserves, anddvoting rights.7Amounts of profits and qualifying tax

multinational group and a territory.2Condition A is that—athe ultimate parent is located in the territory,bthe ultimate parent is a flow-through entity, andcthe qualifying domestic top-up tax applying in the territory—idoes not generally impose a charge on the ultimate parent as a result of it being a flow-through entity, andiidoes not include provision for a charge to be imposed on the ultimate parent in circumstances where there would otherwise be an amount of tax that was not charged to any member of the group in that territory.3Condition B is that—aa responsible member of the group is located in the territory,bthe member is not the ultimate parent of the group,cthe member is a flow-through entity, anddthe qualifying domestic top-up tax applying in the territory—idoes not generally impose a charge on the member as a result of it being a flow-through entity, andiidoes not include provision for a charge to be imposed on the member in circumstances where there would otherwise be an amount of tax that was not charged to any member of the group in that territory.4Condition C is that—athe qualifying domestic top-up tax applying in the territory provides that it does not apply to a multinational group in the initial phase of the group’s international expansion,bthat provision is not limited in application to circumstances where the members of a multinational group in the territory are not subject to Pillar Two rules, andcthat provision applies to the group.5Condition D is that the enforceability of an amount of qualifying domestic top-up tax accruing to a standard member of the group is in question.6Subsections (3), (4) and (6) of section 256A (qualifying domestic top-up tax treated as not accruing where contested) apply for the purpose of determining whether the enforceability of an amount of qualifying domestic top-up tax is in question.7Condition E is that—aa member of the group located in the territory has a relevant pre-entry deferred tax asset or relevant pre-entry deferred tax liability, andbthe qualifying domestic top-up tax applying in the territory either—idoes not make provision corresponding to section 185(7A) to (7D) (exclusion for deferred tax assets arising as a result of government arrangements etc) in relation to relevant pre-entry deferred tax assets and relevant pre-entry deferred tax liabilities, oriimakes such corresponding provision in a way that is inconsistent with the Pillar Two commentary in relation to relevant pre-entry deferred tax assets or relevant pre-entry deferred tax liabilities.8In subsection (7) “relevant pre-entry deferred tax asset” and “relevant pre-entry deferred tax liability” have the same meaning as in Schedule 16, but for that purpose the words “or (7C)” in the definition of “relevant pre-entry deferred tax asset” are to be disregarded.9Condition F is that the qualifying domestic top-up tax applying in the territory is not charged in respect of a member of the group located in the territory because of an exemption (however framed) or special regime relating to persons concerned in securitisation transactions.Chapter 2<Addition

Meaning of “filing member” 2 Part 2 of Schedule 14 applies, save that— a where a qualifying entity is not part of a group, Part 2 of Schedule 14 does not apply, and references to “filing member” in Schedule 14 apply as if they were references to the qualifying entity; b where a qualifying entity is part of a group— i references to a “multinational group” apply as if they were references to a group; ii the reference in paragraph 2(4)(a) of Schedule 14 to this Schedule applies as if it were a reference to Schedule 14. Registration 3 Part 3 of Schedule 14 applies as if— a for paragraph 6(1) and (2) there were substituted— 1 A filing member must register with HMRC if the filing member or, if the filing member is a member of a group, a member of that group— a is located in the United Kingdom and b is a qualifying entity. 2 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), a qualifying entity becomes a qualifying entity on the first day of the first accounting period it is a qualifying entity (the “trigger day”). ; b references to a “multinational group” were references to a group. Other administrative provisions 4 1 Subject to paragraph 5, Parts 4 to 12 of Schedule 14 apply as if— a references to “multinational top-up tax” were to domestic top-up tax; b references to “domestic top-up tax” were to multinational top-up tax; c references to a “multinational group” were references to a group; d where an entity registered under Part 3 of that Schedule (or which should have been registered) is not part of a group— i references to a group or its members (however framed) were references to the entity or an entity (as the context requires); ii references to “the filing member of a group” were references to the entity. 2 In particular, the Treasury’s power to make regulations under paragraph 39 applies in relation to payments of domestic top-up tax. 5 1 In Part 11 of Schedule 14 (penalties), only paragraphs 40(b), (c) and (e), 42 to 44, and 46 to 50 apply. 2 The reference in paragraph 38 of Schedule 14 (as applied by paragraph 4) to a penalty referred to in paragraph 40 of that Schedule applies as if, instead of referring to the penalties referred to in paragraph 40(a), (b) and (d) of that Schedule, it referred to the penalties inserted by paragraph 6.
