##### 748ZA
- (1) Nothing in section 748(1)(da) prevents an apportionment falling to be made as regards an accounting period (“*the relevant accounting period*”) of a controlled foreign company (“X”) if condition A, B or C is met.
- (2) Condition A is that at any time before the end of the relevant accounting period a scheme is entered into and—
- (a) in the absence of this subsection, in consequence of the scheme, section 748(1)(da) would apply to prevent an apportionment falling to be made as regards the relevant accounting period of X, and
- (b) the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of any party to the scheme in entering into the scheme is to secure that section 748(1)(da) prevents an apportionment falling to be made as regards that period, or that period and one or more other accounting periods of X.
- (3) Condition B is that at any time before the end of the relevant accounting period a scheme is entered into and—
- (a) in consequence of the scheme profits are shifted to X from another company (“Y”),

- (c) the relevant accounting period of X falls wholly or partly within that accounting period or those accounting periods.
- (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), profits are shifted to X from Y if it is reasonable to suppose that in the absence of the scheme, and any similar scheme, the whole or a part of the income which is reflected in X's profits would have been reflected in Y's profits.
- (5) Condition C is that, in determining X's chargeable profits for the relevant accounting period—
- (a) section 418(5) of CTA 2009 (loan relationships involving connected debtor and creditor where debits exceed credits) has effect so as to treat X, for the purposes of Part 5 of that Act, as bringing into account for that period credits in respect of a loan relationship, or
- (b) Part 21B of CTA 2010 (group mismatch schemes) has effect so as to exclude an amount from being brought into account as a debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships) or Part 7 of that Act (derivative contracts).
- (6) For the purposes of this section—
- “*apportionment*” means an apportionment under section 747(3);
- “*scheme*” means any scheme, arrangements or understanding of any kind whatever, whether or not legally enforceable, involving one or more transactions.
##### 748A

- (b) is at any time in that accounting period liable to tax in such a territory by reason of domicile, residence or place of management; or
- (c) at any time in that accounting period carries on business through a permanent establishment in such a territory.
- (2) The condition in subsection (1)(c) above is not satisfied as regards an accounting period of a controlled foreign company if the business carried on by the company in that period through permanent establishments in territories to which this section applies, taken as a whole, is only a minimal part of the whole of the business carried on by the company in that period.
- (3) The territories to which this section applies as respects an accounting period of a controlled foreign company are those specified as such in regulations made by the Treasury.
- (4) Regulations under subsection (3) above—
- (a) may make different provision for different cases or with respect to different territories; and
- (b) may contain such incidental, supplemental, consequential or transitional provision as the Treasury may think fit.
- (5) A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (3) above shall not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the House of Commons.
##### 749A

as are referable to the category of business concerned (before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above).

the amount of corporation tax attributable (apart from this subsection) to any item of income or gain arising to the subsidiary shall be found by setting off against that item the amount of expenses that would be attributable to it under subsection (3) above if that item had arisen directly to the insurance company.
- (11) Where the credit allowed for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is, by virtue of subsection (2) above, less than it would be if the relevant income were not treated as reduced in accordance with that subsection, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing the profits of the category of business concerned.

- (3) If the Commissioners grant the application—
- (a) those chargeable profits are treated as reduced by the specified amount, and
- (b) the controlled foreign company's creditable tax (if any) for that period is treated as reduced by so much of that tax as, on a just and reasonable basis, relates to the reduction in those chargeable profits,
for the purpose of applying section 747(3) to (5) for determining the sum (if any) chargeable on the UK resident company under section 747(4)(a) (but for no other purpose).
- (4) The Commissioners may grant the application only if they are satisfied that the specified amount does not exceed the amount (if any) equal to so much of those chargeable profits as can reasonably be regarded as representing the net economic value which—
- (a) arises to the appropriate body of persons (taken as a whole), and
- (b) is created directly by qualifying work.
- (5) For the purposes of subsection (4) “*net economic value*” does not include any value which derives directly or indirectly from the reduction or elimination of any liability of any person to any tax or duty imposed under the law of any territory.

- (a) which is payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom in respect of insurance business carried on by a company through a permanent establishment in that territory, and
- (b) which is computed otherwise than wholly by reference to profits arising in that territory,
is to be allowed (in accordance with this Part) against corporation tax charged under section 35 of CTA 2009 (charge on trade profits) or section 436A in respect of the profits, computed in accordance with the provisions applicable for the purposes of section 35 of CTA 2009, of life assurance business or gross roll-up business carried on by the company in an accounting period (in this section referred to as “*the relevant profits*”).
- (1A) For the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, the cases where tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is “*computed otherwise than wholly by reference to profits arising in that territory*” are those cases where the charge to tax in that territory falls within subsection (1B) below.
- (1B) A charge to tax falls within this subsection if it is such a charge made otherwise than by reference to profits as (by disallowing their deduction in computing the amount chargeable) to require sums payable and other liabilities arising under policies to be treated as sums or liabilities falling to be met out of amounts subject to tax in the hands of the company.
- (2) Where this subsection applies, the amount of the credit shall not exceed the greater of—
- (a) any such part of the tax payable under the laws of the territory outside the United Kingdom as is charged by reference to profits arising in that territory, and
- (b) the shareholders’ share of the tax so payable.
- (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above the shareholders’ share of tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is so much of that tax as is represented by the fraction
$$AB$where— A is an amount equal to the amount of the relevant profits before making any deduction authorised by subsection (5) below; andB is an amount equal to the excess of—$

- (5) Where, by virtue of this section, the credit for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is less than it otherwise would be, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing the relevant profits.

- (4) Where subsection (3) above does not apply and the category of business in question is—
- (a) basic life assurance and general annuity business, or
- (b) PHI business,
the fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to that category of business is the fraction whose numerator is the part of the relevant income which is referable to that category by virtue of any provision of section 432A . . . and whose denominator is the whole of the relevant income.
- (5) Subsections (6) and (7) below apply where the category of business in question is gross roll-up business.

- (a) whose numerator is the part of the investment income taken into account in that determination which would be referable to gross roll-up business by virtue of section 432E if the investment income were the only amount included in the net amount; and
- (b) whose denominator is the whole of that investment income.
- (7A) The Treasury may by regulations amend subsection (7) above; and the regulations may include amendments having effect in relation to accounting periods during which they are made.

- (c) there arises to the company in that period any income or gain in respect of which credit for foreign tax falls to be allowed under any arrangements,
subsection (2) below shall have effect.
- (2) In any such case, the amount of the credit for foreign tax which, under the arrangements, is to be allowed against corporation tax in respect of so much of that income or gain as is referable to the category of business concerned (“*the relevant income*”) shall be limited by treating the amount of the relevant income as reduced in accordance with subsections (3) and (4) below.
- (3) The first limitation is to treat the amount of the relevant income as reduced (but not below nil) for the purposes of this Chapter by the amount of expenses (if any) attributable to the relevant income.
- (4) If—
- (a) the amount of the relevant income after any reduction under subsection (3) above,
exceeds
- (b) the relevant fraction of the profits of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question which are chargeable to corporation tax,
the second limitation is to treat the relevant income as further reduced (but not below nil) for the purposes of this Chapter to an amount equal to that fraction of those profits.
In this subsection any reference to the profits of a category of business is a reference to those profits after the set off of any losses of that category of business which have arisen in any previous accounting period.
- (5) In determining the amount of the credit for foreign tax which is to be allowed as mentioned in subsection (2) above, the relevant income shall not be reduced except in accordance with that subsection.
- (6) For the purposes of subsection (3) above, the amount of expenses attributable to the relevant income is the appropriate fraction of the total relevant expenses of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question.
- (7) In subsection (6) above, the “*appropriate fraction*” means the fraction—
- (a) whose numerator is the amount of the relevant income before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above, and
- (b) whose denominator is the total income of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question,
unless the denominator so determined is nil, in which case the denominator shall instead be the amount described in subsection (8) below.
- (8) That amount is so much in total of the income and gains—
- (a) which arise to the company in the period of account in question, and
- (b) in respect of which credit for foreign tax falls to be allowed under any arrangements,
as are referable to the category of business concerned (before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above).
- (9) In subsection (4) above, the “*relevant fraction*” means the fraction—
- (a) whose numerator is the amount of the relevant income before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above; and
- (b) whose denominator is the amount described in subsection (8) above.
- (10) Where a 75 per cent subsidiary of an insurance company is acting in accordance with a scheme or arrangement and—
- (a) the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of that scheme or arrangement is to prevent or restrict the application of subsection (2) above to the insurance company, and
- (b) the subsidiary does not carry on insurance business of any description,
the amount of corporation tax attributable (apart from this subsection) to any item of income or gain arising to the subsidiary shall be found by setting off against that item the amount of expenses that would be attributable to it under subsection (3) above if that item had arisen directly to the insurance company.
- (11) Where the credit allowed for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is, by virtue of subsection (2) above, less than it would be if the relevant income were not treated as reduced in accordance with that subsection, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing the profits of the category of business concerned.
- (12) Where, by virtue of subsection (10) above, the credit allowed for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is less than it would be apart from that subsection, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing the income of the 75 per cent subsidiary.

- (14) This section shall be construed—
- (a) in accordance with section 804D, where the category of business concerned is life assurance business or gross roll-up business; and

### Unrelieved foreign tax: profits of overseas branch or agency
##### 806L
- (1) This section applies where, in any accounting period of a company resident in the United Kingdom, an amount of unrelieved foreign tax arises in respect of any of the company’s qualifying income from an overseas permanent establishment of the company.
- (2) The amount of the unrelieved foreign tax so arising shall be treated for the purposes of allowing credit relief under this Part as if it were foreign tax paid in respect of, and computed by reference to, the company’s qualifying income from the same overseas permanent establishment—
- (a) in the next accounting period (whether or not the company in fact has any such income from that source in that accounting period), or
- (b) in such one or more preceding accounting periods, beginning not more than three years before the accounting period in which the unrelieved foreign tax arises, as result from applying the rules in subsection (3) below,
or partly in the one way and partly in the other.
- (3) Where any unrelieved foreign tax is to be treated as mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above, the rules for determining the accounting periods in question (and the amount of the unrelieved foreign tax to be so treated in relation to each of them) are that the unrelieved foreign tax must be so treated under that paragraph—
- (1) that—
- (a) credit for, or for any remaining balance of, the unrelieved foreign tax is allowed against corporation tax in respect of income of a later one of the accounting periods beginning as mentioned in that paragraph,
before
- (b) credit for any of the unrelieved foreign tax is allowed against corporation tax in respect of income of any earlier such period;
- (2) that, before allowing credit for any of the unrelieved foreign tax against corporation tax in respect of income of any accounting period, credit for foreign tax is allowed—
- (a) first for foreign tax in respect of the income of that accounting period, other than unrelieved foreign tax arising in another accounting period; and
- (b) then for unrelieved foreign tax arising in any accounting period before that in which the unrelieved foreign tax in question arises.
- (4) For the purposes of this section, the cases where an amount of unrelieved foreign tax arises in respect of any of a company’s qualifying income from an overseas permanent establishment in an accounting period are those cases where—
- (a) the amount of the credit for foreign tax which under any arrangements would, apart from section 797, be allowable against corporation tax in respect of that income,
exceeds
- (b) the amount of the credit for foreign tax which under the arrangements is allowed against corporation tax in respect of that income;
and in any such case that excess is the amount of the unrelieved foreign tax in respect of that income.
- (5) For the purposes of this section, a company’s qualifying income from an overseas permanent establishment is the profits of the overseas permanent establishment which are—
- (a) profits, chargeable under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of CTA 2009, of a trade carried on partly, but not wholly, outside the United Kingdom; or
- (b) included in the profits of gross roll-up business chargeable under . . . section 436A.
- (6) Where (whether by virtue of this subsection or otherwise) an amount of unrelieved foreign tax arising in an accounting period falls to be treated under subsection (2) above for the purposes of allowing credit relief under this Part as foreign tax paid in respect of, and computed by reference to, qualifying income of an earlier accounting period, it shall not be so treated for the purpose of any further application of this section.
- (7) In this section—
- “*overseas permanent establishment*” means a permanent establishment through which a company carries on a trade in a territory outside the United Kingdom; and
- “*permanent establishment*”—if there are arrangements having effect under section 788 in relation to the territory concerned that define the expression, has the meaning given by those arrangements, andif there are no such arrangements, or if they do not define the expression, has the meaning given by section 148 of the Finance Act 2003.
##### 806M
- (1) This section has effect for the purposes of section 806L and shall be construed as one with that section.
- (2) If, in any accounting period, a company ceases to have a particular overseas permanent establishment, the amount of any unrelieved foreign tax which arises in that accounting period in respect of the company’s income from that overseas permanent establishment shall, to the extent that it is not treated as mentioned in section 806L(2)(b), be reduced to nil (so that no amount arises which falls to be treated as mentioned in section 806L(2)(a)).
- (3) If a company—
- (a) at any time ceases to have a particular overseas permanent establishment in a particular territory (“*the old permanent establishment*”), but
