[FA80 s45(1) and (2)]
(1) In this paragraph, “relevant accounting period” has the same meaning as it had for the purposes of Chapter VI of Part I of the Finance Act, 1980.
- (2) For the purposes of section 147, a distribution made by a company before the 6th day of April, 1989, shall be a relevant distribution if it was made on a day (in this paragraph referred to as “the relevant day”) on or after the 1st day of January, 1981, and if the total amount of the distributions made by the company on that day did not exceed an amount (in this paragraph referred to as “the amount of the primary fund”) determined by the formula—
(A − B) + (C − D) + E − F
where, subject to sections 46 to 49 of the Finance Act, 1980—
A is the amount of the company's income the corporation tax in respect of which was reduced under section 41 of that Act for the last relevant accounting period of the company which ended before the relevant day; but where the distribution was not a distribution declared by the company in a general meeting held as an annual general meeting, this definition shall apply as if the preceding reference to the last relevant accounting period which ended before the relevant day were a reference to the relevant accounting period of the company in which the distribution was made,
B is the amount of the corporation tax as reduced under section 41 of that Act in respect of the amount of income mentioned in the definition of “A”,

D is the aggregate of the amounts of the corporation tax as reduced under section 41 of that Act in respect of the amounts of income comprised in the aggregate amount calculated in accordance with the definition of “C”,
E is the aggregate amount of the relevant distributions received by the company at any time before the relevant day; but a relevant distribution shall not be included within this definition if the distribution, together with the tax credit to which the company is entitled in respect of it, is franked investment income against which relief was given under section 15(4), 25 or 26 of the Corporation Tax Act, 1976, and which relief was not subsequently withdrawn under those sections, and
F is the aggregate amount of the relevant distributions made by the company on any day earlier than the relevant day.
- (3) Where in relation to a company the amount of the primary fund was greater than zero but was less than the total amount of the distributions made by the company on the relevant day, a distribution made by the company on that day shall be treated as if it consisted of 2 distributions, being respectively—
- (a) a relevant distribution equal to such an amount as bears to the whole of the distribution the same proportion as the amount of the primary fund bore to the total amount of the distributions so made on that day, and
- (b) a separate distribution which is not a relevant distribution and which consisted of the balance of the distribution.
