- (A2) The conditions are that—
- (a) the oil is oil won from an oil field in the United Kingdom,

- (ii) would fall to be so taken into account, had the oil field been a taxable field, as defined in section 185 of the Finance Act 1993,
- (d) the terms of the contract are such as are described in the opening words of section 2(5A) of the 1975 Act,

- (1A) Where an excess of nominated proceeds in a chargeable period (within the meaning given by section 61 of the Finance Act 1987) is taken into account in computing a person's profits under section 2(5)(e) of the 1975 Act (or would be taken into account if the person were chargeable to tax under that Act in respect of a field)—

- (b) for the purposes of corporation tax, that amount shall be available to the person as a deduction in computing the profits of any trade to which section 492(1) does not apply.
- (2) Where a person makes a relevant appropriation of any oil without disposing of it and does so in circumstances such that the market value of that oil . . . falls to be taken into account under section 2 of the 1975 Act in computing for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to him in any chargeable period from an oil field (or would so fall but for section 10 of that Act), then for all the purposes of income tax and for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income, he shall be treated—
- (a) as having, at the time of the appropriation—
- (i) sold the oil in the course of the separate trade consisting of activities falling within the definition of “oil-related activities” in section 16(2) of ITTOIA 2005 or within section 492(1)(a) or (b) above; and
- (ii) bought it in the course of the separate trade consisting of activities not so falling; and
- (b) as having so sold and bought it at a price equal to its market value as so taken into account under section 2 of the 1975 Act (or as would have been so taken into account under that section but for section 10 of that Act).
In this subsection “*relevant appropriation*” has the meaning given by section 12(1) of the 1975 Act.
- (3) Where—
- (a) a person disposes otherwise than in a sale at arm’s length (as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act) of oil acquired by him in the course of oil extraction activities carried on by him or by virtue of oil rights held by him, and
- (b) subsection (1) above does not apply in relation to the disposal,
then, for all purposes of income tax and for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income, the disposal of the oil and its acquisition by the person to whom it was disposed of shall be treated as having been for a consideration equal to the market value of the oil . . . .
- (4) If a person appropriates oil acquired by him in the course of oil extraction activities carried on by him or by virtue of oil rights held by him and the appropriation is to refining or to any use except for production purposes of an oil field, within the meaning of Part I of the 1975 Act, then, unless subsection (2) above applies, for all purposes of income tax and for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income—
- (a) he shall be treated as having, at the time of the appropriation, sold and bought the oil as mentioned in subsection (2)(a)(i) and (ii) above; and
- (b) that sale and purchase shall be deemed to have been at a price equal to the market value of the oil . . . .
- (5) For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4) above, paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act shall apply as it applies for the purposes of Part 1 of that Act, but with the following modifications—
- (a) sub-paragraph (4) shall be treated as omitted;
- (b) any reference in paragraphs 2 and 2A to oil being relevantly appropriated shall be construed as a reference to its being appropriated as mentioned in section 493(4) of the Taxes Act; and
- (c) any reference in paragraph 2 to the notional delivery day for the actual oil shall be construed as a reference to the day on which the oil is disposed of or appropriated as mentioned in subsection (3) or (4) above.
- (6) In subsections (3) and (4) above the references to the market value of any oil in the calendar month in which a disposal of the oil was made or, as the case may be, in which it was appropriated shall each have effect in relation to light gases (within the meaning of the 1975 Act) as a reference to the amount which, if paragraph 3A of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act applied, would be the market value of that oil in relation to the disposal or appropriation in question.

### CHAPTER V — SCHEMES FOR RATIONALIZING INDUSTRY
#### Deductions from profits of contributions paid under certified schemes
##### 568
- (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 74 of this Act or section 33 of ITTOIA 2005 but subject to the following provisions of this Chapter, where a person pays, wholly and exclusively for the purposes of a trade in respect of which he is chargeable under Case I of Schedule D, or under Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005, a contribution in furtherance of a scheme which is for the time being certified by the Secretary of State under this section, the contribution shall, in so far as it is paid in furtherance of the primary object of the scheme, be allowed to be deducted as an expense in computing the profits of that trade.
- (2) The Secretary of State shall certify a scheme under this section if he is satisfied—
- (a) that the primary object of the scheme is the elimination of redundant works or machinery or plant from use in an industry in the United Kingdom; and
- (b) that the scheme is in the national interest and in the interests of that industry as a whole; and
- (c) that such number of persons engaged in that industry as are substantially representative of the industry are liable to pay contributions in furtherance of the primary object of the scheme by agreement between them and the body of persons carrying out the scheme.
- (3) The Secretary of State shall cancel any certificate granted under this section if he ceases to be satisfied as to any of the matters referred to in subsection (2) above.
- (4) The Secretary of State may at any time require the body of persons carrying out a scheme certified under this section to produce any books or documents of whatever nature relating to the scheme and, if the requirement is not complied with, he may cancel the certificate.
- (5) In this section and in section 569 “*contribution*”, in relation to a scheme, does not include a sum paid by a person by way of loan or subscription of share capital, or in consideration of the transfer of assets to him, or by way of a penalty for contravening or failing to comply with the scheme.
#### Repayment of contributions
##### 569
- (1) In the event of the repayment, whether directly or by way of distribution of assets on a winding up or otherwise, of a contribution or any part of a contribution which has been allowed to be deducted under section 568, the deduction of the contribution, or so much of it as has been repaid, shall be deemed to be an unauthorised deduction in respect of which an assessment shall be made, and, notwithstanding the provisions of the Tax Acts requiring assessments to be made within six years after the end of the chargeable period to which they relate, any such assessment and any consequential assessment may be made at any time within three years after the end of the chargeable period in which the repayment was made.
- (2) For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
#### Payments under certified schemes which are not repayments of contributions
##### 570
- (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, where, under any scheme which is for the time being certified or has at any time been certified by the Secretary of State under section 568, any payment (not being a payment made by way of repayment of contributions) is made to a person carrying on a trade to which the scheme relates, that payment shall be treated for the purposes of the Tax Acts as a trading receipt of the trade, and shall accordingly be taken into account in computing the profits of the trade for those purposes.
- (2) Where . . . the payments which have been made under such a scheme in respect of a trade (not being payments made by way of repayment of contributions) have been made wholly or partly in respect of damage in respect of which no relief may be given under the Tax Acts, and a claim is made to that effect, then, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 21—
- (a) relief shall be given in respect of those payments by reducing the amounts which are to be treated as trading receipts of the trade under subsection (1) above; but
- (b) where such relief is given, section 568 shall, in relation to contributions subsequently paid under the scheme in respect of the trade, have effect subject to the modifications specified in Part III of that Schedule,
and paragraph 6 of that Schedule applies for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of that Schedule.
- (3) The provisions of this section and Schedule 21 shall apply in relation to any payment made to a person who has ceased to carry on a trade to which any such scheme as is mentioned in subsection (1) above relates as they apply in relation to payments made to a person carrying on such a trade, subject to the modification that so much of that payment as falls to be treated as a trading receipt by virtue of those provisions shall be deemed for the purposes of those provisions to have been made to him on the last day on which he was engaged in carrying on the trade.
- (4) In determining for the purposes of this section and of Schedule 21—
- (a) whether any trade has ceased to be carried on; or
- (b) whether any contribution is paid in respect of a trade in respect of which a payment has been made; or
- (c) whether any payment is made in respect of a trade in respect of which a contribution has been paid,
no regard shall be had to any event which, by virtue of section 337(1) above or section 18 of ITTOIA 2005 (companies beginning or ceasing to carry on trade), is to be treated as effecting a discontinuance of a trade.
#### Cancellation of certificates
##### 571
- (1) Where any certificate granted with respect to a scheme under section 568 is cancelled by the Secretary of State, and any deductible contributions paid in furtherance of the scheme have not been repaid at the expiration of one year from the cancellation, the body of persons carrying out the scheme shall, for the chargeable period in which that year expires, be charged to tax (in the case of corporation tax, under Case VI of Schedule D) upon the aggregate amount of the deductible contributions which have not been repaid at that time.
- (1A) An amount charged to income tax under subsection (1) above is treated for income tax purposes as an amount of income.
- (2) The charge to tax under subsection (1) above shall not be made if the total amount of any contributions, other than deductible contributions, which have been paid under the scheme and have not been repaid before that time is greater than the available resources of the scheme, and shall not in any case be made upon an amount greater than the excess, if any, of those resources over that total amount.
- (3) In subsection (2) above “*the available resources*”, in relation to any scheme, means a sum representing the total funds held for the purposes of the scheme at the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate plus a sum representing any funds held for the purposes of the scheme which, during that year, have been applied otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted.
- (4) Where the body of persons carrying out a scheme are charged to tax by virtue of subsection (1) above, and, after the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate, any deductible contribution paid in furtherance of the scheme is repaid, the amount upon which the charge is made shall on the making of a claim be reduced by the amount repaid, and all such repayments of tax shall be made as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this subsection.
- (5) In this section “*contribution*” includes a part of a contribution, and “*deductible contribution*” means a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568, any reduction under Part III of Schedule 21 being left out of account.
- (6) For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
#### Application to statutory redundancy schemes
##### 572
- (1) Sections 569 to 571 and Schedule 21 shall, subject to the adaptations specified in subsection (2) below, apply in relation to a statutory redundancy scheme as they apply in relation to a scheme certified under section 568.
- (2) The adaptations referred to above are as follows, that is to say—
- (a) for any reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568 there shall be substituted a reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under any provision of the Tax Acts other than that section;
- (b) any provision that section 568 shall, in relation to contributions, have effect subject to modifications, shall be construed as a provision that so much of any provision of the Tax Acts other than that section as authorises the deduction of contributions shall, in relation to the contributions in question, have effect subject to the modifications in question;
- (c) for any reference to the cancellation of a certificate with respect to a scheme there shall be substituted a reference to the scheme ceasing to have effect; and
- (d) for any reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted there shall be substituted a reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the contributions were first paid thereunder.
- (3) In this section “*statutory redundancy scheme*” means a scheme for the elimination or reduction of redundant works, machinery or plant, or for other similar purposes, to which effect is given by or under any Act, whether passed before or after this Act.

## PART XVI — ESTATES OF DECEASED PERSONS IN COURSE OF ADMINISTRATION
#### Limited interests in residue
##### 695
- (1) The following provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to a company which, during the period commencing on the death of a deceased person and ending on the completion of the administration of his estate (“*the administration period*”) or during a part of that period, has a limited interest in the residue of the estate or in a part thereof.
- (2) When any sum has been paid during the administration period in respect of that limited interest, the amount of that sum shall . . . be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that company as income for the accounting period in which that sum was paid or, in the case of a sum paid in respect of an interest that has ceased, for the last accounting period in which it was subsisting.
- (3) Where, on the completion of the administration of the estate, there is an amount which remains payable in respect of that limited interest, that amount shall be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that company as income for the accounting period in which the administration period ends or, in the case of a sum which is deemed to be paid in respect of an interest that ceased before the end of the administration period, for the last accounting period in which that interest was subsisting.
- (4) Any amount which is deemed to have been paid to that company as income for any accounting period by virtue of this section shall—
- (a) in the case of a United Kingdom estate, be deemed to be income of such an amount as would after deduction of income tax for the relevant year of assessment be equal to the amount deemed to have been so paid, and to be income which has borne income tax at the applicable rate; and
- (b) in the case of a foreign estate, be deemed to be income of the amount deemed to have been so paid . . . .
- (5) Where—
- (a) a company has been charged to corporation tax for any accounting period by virtue of this section in respect of an amount deemed to have been paid to it as income in respect of an interest in a foreign estate (“*the deemed income*”), and
- (b) any part of the aggregate income of that estate for the relevant year of assessment has borne United Kingdom income tax by deduction or otherwise (“*the aggregate income*”),
the tax so charged on it shall, on proof of the facts on a claim, be reduced by an amount bearing the same proportion thereto as the amount of the deemed income which has borne United Kingdom income tax, less the tax so borne, bears to the amount of the aggregate income, less the tax so borne.
- (6) Where relief has been given under subsection (5) above, such part of the amount in respect of which the company has been charged to corporation tax as corresponds to the proportion mentioned in that subsection shall . . . be deemed to represent income of such an amount as would after deduction of income tax be equal to that part of the amount charged.
- (7) In this section “*the relevant year of assessment*”, in relation to an amount deemed to have been paid to a company as income for an accounting period by virtue of this section, means the year of assessment for which the amount would have been deemed to have been paid as income if references to accounting periods in subsections (2) and (3) were references to years of assessment.
#### Absolute interests in residue
##### 696
- (1) The following provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to a company which, during the administration period or during a part of that period, has an absolute interest in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in a part thereof.
- (2) There shall be ascertained in accordance with section 697 the amount of the residuary income of the estate for each whole year of assessment, and for each broken part of a year of assessment, during which—
- (a) the administration period was current, and
- (b) that company had that interest;
and the amount so ascertained in respect of any year or part of a year or, in the case of a company having an absolute interest in a part of a residue, a proportionate part of that amount, is in this Part referred to as the “*residuary income*” of that company for that year of assessment ; and references to the residuary income of a company for an accounting period are to be construed in accordance with subsection (8).
- (3) When any sum has been paid during the administration period in respect of that absolute interest, that sum, except so far as it is excluded from the operation of this subsection, shall be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that company as income for the accounting period in which it was actually paid.
- (3A) A payment shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (3) above to the extent (if any) that the aggregate of that sum and all the sums which—
- (a) have been paid previously during the administration period in respect of that absolute interest, and
- (b) fall under this section to be treated as paid to that company as income (whether or not the company was a company liable to corporation tax at the time of payment),
exceeds the aggregated income entitlement of that company for the accounting period in which the sum is paid.
- (3B) For the purposes of this section the aggregated income entitlement of that company for any accounting period is the amount which would be the aggregate of the amounts received for that accounting period and all previous accounting periods in respect of the interest if that company had a right in each accounting period to receive, and had received—
- (a) in the case of a United Kingdom estate, its residuary income for that accounting period less income tax at the applicable rate for that accounting period; and
- (b) in the case of a foreign estate, its residuary income for that accounting period.
- (4) In the case of a United Kingdom estate, any amount which is deemed to have been paid to that company as income for any accounting period by virtue of subsection (3) above shall be deemed to be income of such an amount as would, after deduction of income tax for that accounting period, be equal to the amount deemed to have been so paid, and to be income that has borne income tax at the applicable rate.
- (5) Where, on the completion of the administration of the estate, the aggregate of all the sums which, apart from this subsection—
- (a) have been paid during the administration period in respect of that absolute interest, and
- (b) fall under this section to be treated as paid to that company as income,
is exceeded by the aggregated income entitlement of that company for the accounting period in which the administration of the estate is completed, then an amount equal to the amount of the excess shall be treated for the purposes of subsections (3) to (4) above as having been actually paid, immediately before the end of the administration period, in respect of that interest.
- (6) In the case of a foreign estate, any amount which is deemed to have been paid to that company as income for any accounting period by virtue of this section shall be deemed to be income of that amount . . . .
- (7) Where—
- (a) a company has been charged to corporation tax for any accounting period by virtue of this section in respect of an amount deemed to have been paid to it as income in respect of an interest in a foreign estate (“*the deemed income*”), and
- (b) any part of the aggregate income of that estate for the relevant year of assessment has borne United Kingdom income tax by deduction or otherwise (“*the aggregate income*”),
the tax so charged on it shall, on proof of the facts on a claim, be reduced by an amount bearing the same proportion thereto as the amount of the deemed income which has borne United Kingdom income tax bears to the amount of the aggregate income.
- (8) . . . The residuary income of a company shall be computed in the first instance by reference to years of assessment, and the residuary income for any such year shall be apportioned between the accounting periods (if more than one) comprising that year.
- (9) In subsection (7) “*the relevant year of assessment*”, in relation to an amount deemed to have been paid to a company as income for an accounting period by virtue of this section, means the year of assessment for which the amount would have been deemed to have been paid as income if references in subsections (3) to (6) to accounting periods were references to years of assessment.
#### Supplementary provisions as to absolute interests in residue
##### 697
- (1) The amount of the residuary income of an estate for any year of assessment shall be ascertained by deducting from the aggregate income of the estate for that year—
- (a) the amount of any annual interest, annuity or other annual payment for that year which is a charge on residue and the amount of any payment made in that year in respect of any such expenses incurred by the personal representatives as such in the management of the assets of the estate as, in the absence of any express provision in a will, would be properly chargeable to income, but excluding any such interest, annuity or payment allowed or allowable in computing the aggregate income of the estate; and
- (b) the amount of any of the aggregate income of the estate for that year to which a person has on or after assent become entitled by virtue of a specific disposition either for a vested interest during the administration period or for a vested or contingent interest on the completion of the administration.
- (1A) For the purpose of ascertaining under subsection (1) above the residuary income of an estate for any year, where the amount of the deductions falling to be made from the aggregate income of the estate for that year (including any falling to be made by virtue of this subsection) exceeds the amount of that income, the excess shall be carried forward and treated for that purpose as an amount falling to be deducted from the aggregate income of the estate for the following year.
- (2) In the event of its appearing, on the completion of the administration of an estate in the residue of which, or in a part of the residue of which, a company had an absolute interest at the completion of the administration, that the aggregate of the benefits received in respect of that interest does not amount to as much as the aggregate for all years of the residuary income of the company having that interest, section 696 shall have effect as if the amount of the deficiency were to be applied in reducing the amount taken to be its residuary income for the year in which the administration of the estate is completed and, in so far as the deficiency exceeds that income, in reducing the amount taken to be its residuary income for the previous year, and so on.
- (3) In subsection (2) above “*benefits received*” in respect of an absolute interest means the following amounts in respect of all sums paid before, or payable on, the completion of the administration in respect of that interest, that is to say—
- (a) as regards a sum paid before the completion of the administration, in the case of a United Kingdom estate such an amount as would, after deduction of income tax for the year of assessment in which that sum was paid, be equal to that sum, or in the case of a foreign estate the amount of that sum; and
- (b) as regards a sum payable on the completion of the administration, in the case of a United Kingdom estate such an amount as would, after deduction of income tax for the year of assessment in which the administration is completed, be equal to that sum, or in the case of a foreign estate the amount of that sum.
- (4) In the application of subsection (2) above to a residue or a part of a residue in which a person other than the person having an absolute interest at the completion of the administration had an absolute interest at any time during the administration period, the aggregates mentioned in that subsection shall be computed in relation to those interests taken together . . . .
- (5) If the amount resulting from the computation mentioned in subsection (4) is greater than the total amount of the reduction which can be made under subsection (2), the share of the residuary income of the estate of the last previous holder of the interest for the last year in which that person had that interest is to be reduced, and so on.
#### Special provisions as to certain interests in residue
##### 698
- (1) Where the personal representatives of a deceased person have as such a right in relation to the estate of another deceased person such that, if that right were vested in them for their own benefit, they would have an absolute or limited interest in the residue of that estate or in a part of that residue, they shall be deemed to have that interest notwithstanding that that right is not vested in them for their own benefit, and any amount deemed to be paid to them as income by virtue of this Part shall be treated as part of the aggregate income of the estate of the person whose personal representatives they are.
- (1A) Subsection (1B) below applies where—
- (a) successively during the administration period there are different persons with interests in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in parts of such a residue;
- (b) the later interest or, as the case may be, each of the later interests arises or is created on the cessation otherwise than by death of the interest that precedes it; and
- (c) the earlier or, as the case may be, earliest interest is a limited interest.
- (1B) Where this subsection applies, this Part shall have effect in relation to any payment made in respect of any of the interests referred to in subsection (1A) above—
- (a) as if all those interests were the same interest so that none of them is to be treated as having ceased on being succeeded by any of the others;
- (b) as if (subject to paragraph (c) below) the interest which is deemed to exist by virtue of paragraph (a) above (“the deemed single interest”) were an interest of—
- (i) except in a case to which sub-paragraph (ii) below applies, the person in respect of whose interest or previous interest the payment is made;
- (ii) in a case where the person entitled to receive the payment is any other person who has or has had an interest which is deemed to be comprised in the deemed single interest, that other person;
and
- (c) in so far as any of the later interests is an absolute interest as if, for the purposes of section 696(3A) to (5)—
- (i) the earlier interest or interests had never existed and the absolute interest had always existed;
- (ii) the sums (if any) which were deemed in relation to the earlier interest or interests to have been paid as income for any accounting period to any of the persons entitled thereto were sums previously paid during the administration period in respect of the absolute interest; and
- (iii) those sums were sums falling to be treated as sums paid as income to the person entitled to the absolute interest.
- (2) Where successively during the administration period there are different persons with absolute interests in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in parts of such a residue, the aggregate payments and aggregated income entitlement referred to in subsections (3A) and (3B) of section 696 shall be computed for the purposes of that section in relation to an absolute interest subsisting at any time (“the subsequent interest”)—
- (a) as if the subsequent interest and any previous absolute interest corresponding to the subsequent interest, or relating to any part of the residue to which the subsequent interest relates, were the same interest; and
- (b) as if the residuary income for any accounting period of the person entitled to the previous interest were residuary income of the person entitled to the subsequent interest and any amount deemed to be paid as income to the person entitled to the previous interest were an amount deemed to have been paid to the person entitled to the subsequent interest.
- (3) Where, upon the exercise of a discretion, any of the income of the residue of the estate of a deceased person for any period (being the administration period or a part of the administration period) would, if the residue had been ascertained at the commencement of that period, be properly payable to any person, or to another in his right, for his benefit, whether directly by the personal representatives or indirectly through a trustee or other person—
- (a) the amount of any sum paid pursuant to an exercise of the discretion in favour of that person shall be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that person as income for the accounting period in which it was paid; and
- (b) section 695(4) to (6) shall have effect in relation to an amount which is deemed to have been paid as income by virtue of paragraph (a) above.
- (4) Subsection (5) applies in any case where—
- (a) successively during the administration period there are different persons with absolute interests in the residue of the estate of a deceased person, or in parts of such a residue, and
- (b) some, but not all are companies liable to corporation tax in respect of income within this Part.
- (5) References in this section—
- (a) to sums deemed to be paid as income for an accounting period to a person who is not such a company,
- (b) to the residuary income for any accounting period of such a person, or
- (c) to amounts deemed to be paid to such a person as income,
are references to sums that would be so deemed, to the income that would be such residuary income or, as the case may be, to the amounts that would be so deemed if the assumptions in subsection (6) were made.
- (6) The assumptions are—

- (3) A person shall be deemed to have a limited interest in the residue of the estate of a deceased person, or in a part of such residue, during any period, being a period during which he has not an absolute interest in the residue or in that part, where the income of the residue or of that part for that period would, if the residue had been ascertained at the commencement of that period, be properly payable to him, or to another in his right, for his benefit, whether directly by the personal representatives or indirectly through a trustee or other person.
- (3A) “*Applicable rate*”, in relation to any amount which a person is deemed by virtue of this Part to receive or to have a right to receive, means the basic rate . . . or the dividend ordinary rate according as the income of the residue of the estate out of which that amount is or would be paid bears tax at the basic rate . . . or the dividend ordinary rate; and in determining for the purposes of this Part whether or how much of any payment is or would be deemed to be made out of income that bears tax at one rate rather than another—
- (a) such apportionments of the amounts bearing tax at different rates shall be made between different persons with interests in the residue of the estate as are just and reasonable in relation to their different interests; and
- (b) subject to paragraph (a) above, it shall be assumed that—

- (ii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (4) “*Personal representatives*” means, in relation to the estate of a deceased person, his personal representatives as defined in relation to England and Wales by section 55 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925, and persons having in relation to the deceased under the law of another country any functions corresponding to the functions for administration purposes under the law of England and Wales of personal representatives as so defined; and references to “*personal representatives as such*” shall be construed as references to personal representatives in their capacity as having such functions.

- (8) References to the aggregate income of the estate of a deceased person for any year of assessment shall be construed as references to the aggregate income from all sources for that year of the personal representatives of the deceased as such, treated as consisting of—
- (a) any such income which is chargeable to United Kingdom income tax by deduction or otherwise, such income being computed at the amount on which that tax falls to be borne for that year; . . .

- (c) any amount of income treated as arising to the personal representatives under section 410(4) of ITTOIA 2005 (stock dividends) that would be charged to income tax under Chapter 5 of Part 4 of that Act if income arising to personal representatives were so charged (see section 413 of that Act);

- (10) “*Foreign estate*” means, as regards any year of assessment or accounting period, an estate which is not a United Kingdom estate.
- (10A) Amounts to which section 699A(1)(a) and (b) applies shall be disregarded in determining whether an estate is a United Kingdom estate or a foreign estate, except that any estate the aggregate income of which comprises only such amounts shall be a United Kingdom estate.

- (a) for references to the estate of references to that part of the estate; and

- (c) references to amount shall be construed, in relation to such assets as are referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as references to their value at the date on which they were transferred or appropriated, or at the completion of the administration, as the case may require, and, in relation to such debts as are so referred to, as references to the amount thereof.
- (13) In this Part references to the administration period shall be construed in accordance with section 695(1).

#### Application to Scotland
##### 702

##### 703
- (1) Where—
- (a) in any such circumstances as are mentioned in section 704, and
- (b) in consequence of a transaction in securities or of the combined effect of two or more such transactions,
a company is in a position to obtain, or has obtained, a corporation tax advantage, then unless it shows that the transaction or transactions were carried out either for bona fide commercial reasons or in the ordinary course of making or managing investments, and that none of them had as their main object, or one of their main objects, to enable corporation tax advantages to be obtained, this section shall apply to it in respect of that transaction or those transactions.
- (2) For the purposes of this Chapter a corporation tax advantage obtained or obtainable by a company shall be deemed to be obtained or obtainable by it in consequence of a transaction in securities or of the combined effect of two or more such transactions, if it is obtained or obtainable in consequence of the combined effect of the transaction or transactions and the liquidation of a company.
- (3) Where this section applies to a company in respect of any transaction or transactions, the corporation tax advantage obtained or obtainable by it in consequence thereof shall be counteracted by such of the following adjustments, that is to say an assessment, the nullifying of a right to repayment or the requiring of the return of a repayment already made (the amount to be returned being chargeable . . . under Case VI of Schedule D and recoverable accordingly), or the computation or recomputation of profits or gains, or liability to corporation tax, on such basis as the Board may specify by notice served on it as being requisite for counteracting the corporation tax advantage so obtained or obtainable.

- (7) *In the case of a man and his wife living with him (whether or not she is separately assessed to tax), this Chapter shall, subject to subsection* (8)*below, be treated as applying to him in respect of any transaction or transactions as it would apply if any property, rights or liabilities of the wife were his property, rights or liabilities in relation to which she had acted only as nominee for him, and shall be treated as applying to the wife in respect of any transaction or transactions as it would apply if any property, rights or liabilities of the man were her property, rights or liabilities in relation to which he had acted only as nominee for her*.
- (8) *No adjustment made under subsection* (3)*above by reference to any transaction or transactions to counteract any tax advantage shall by virtue of subsection* (7)*above be so made that a person bears more tax than if the transaction or transactions had not had as a consequence that any relief or increased relief from, or repayment or increased repayment of, income tax, or any deduction in computing profits or gains, was obtained or obtainable, or that the way in which receipts accrued was such that the recipient did not pay or bear tax on them*.
- (9) The Board shall not give a notice under subsection (3) above until they have notified the company in question that they have reason to believe that this section may apply to it in respect of a transaction or transactions specified in the notification; and if within 30 days of the issue of the notification that company, being of opinion that this section does not so apply to it, makes a statutory declaration to that effect stating the facts and circumstances upon which its opinion is based, and sends it to the Board, then subject to subsection (10) below, this section shall not apply to it in respect of the transaction or transactions.
- (10) If, when a statutory declaration has been sent to the Board under subsection (9) above, they see reason to take further action in the matter—
- (a) the Board shall send to the tribunal a certificate to that effect, together with the statutory declaration, and may also send therewith a counter-statement with reference to the matter;
- (b) the tribunal shall take into consideration the declaration and the certificate, and the counter-statement, if any, and shall determine whether there is or is not a prima facie case for proceeding in the matter, and if they determine that there is no such case this section shall not apply to the company in question in respect of the transaction or transactions;
but any such determination shall not affect the operation of this section in respect of transactions which include that transaction or some or all of those transactions and also include another transaction or other transactions.
- (11) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (12) This section applies whether the corporation tax advantage in question relates to a chargeable period ending before or after the commencement of this Act, but nothing in this section shall authorise the making of an assessment later than six years after the accounting period to which the corporation tax advantage relates; and no other provision contained in the Corporation Tax Acts shall be construed as limiting the powers conferred by this section.

- (2) In this Chapter—
- “*company*” includes any body corporate,

- (b) in any case, that it substantially exceeds a normal return on the consideration provided by the recipient for the relevant securities, that is to say, the securities in respect of which the dividend was received and, if those securities are derived from securities previously acquired by the recipient, the securities which were previously acquired.

### CHAPTER IV — CONTROLLED FOREIGN COMPANIES
#### Imputation of chargeable profits and creditable tax of controlled foreign companies
##### 747
- (1) If . . . in any accounting period a company—
- (a) is resident outside the United Kingdom, and
- (b) is controlled by persons resident in the United Kingdom, and
- (c) is subject to a lower level of taxation in the territory in which it is resident,
. . . the provisions of this Chapter shall apply in relation to that accounting period.
- (1A) A company which would not, apart from this subsection, fall to be regarded as controlled by persons resident in the United Kingdom shall be taken for the purposes of this Chapter to be so controlled if—
- (a) there are two persons who, taken together, control the company;
- (b) one of those persons is resident in the United Kingdom and is a person in whose case the 40 per cent test in section 755D(3) is satisfied; and
- (c) the other is a person in whose case the 40 per cent test in section 755D(4) is satisfied.
- (1B) In determining, for the purposes of any provision of this Chapter except subsection (1)(a) above, whether a company is a person resident in the United Kingdom, section 249 of the Finance Act 1994 (under which a company is treated as non-resident if it is so treated for double taxation relief purposes) shall be disregarded.
- (2) A company which falls within paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) above is in this Chapter referred to as a “*controlled foreign company*”.
- (3) Subject to section 748, where the provisions of this Chapter apply in relation to an accounting period of a controlled foreign company, the chargeable profits of that company for that period and its creditable tax (if any) for that period shall each be apportioned in accordance with section 752 among the persons (whether resident in the United Kingdom or not) who had an interest in that company at any time during that accounting period.
- (3A) In the case of an apportionment to a company resident in the United Kingdom which has made an application under section 751A which has been granted, subsection (3) above has effect subject to that section.
- (4) Where, on such an apportionment of a controlled foreign company’s chargeable profits for an accounting period as is referred to in subsection (3) above, an amount of those profits is apportioned to a company resident in the United Kingdom then, subject to subsection (5) below—
- (a) a sum equal to corporation tax at the appropriate rate on that apportioned amount of profits, less the portion of the controlled foreign company’s creditable tax for that period (if any) which is apportioned to the resident company, shall be chargeable on the resident company as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on that company; . . .
- (b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
and for the purposes of paragraph (a) above “*the appropriate rate*” means the rate of corporation tax applicable to profits of that accounting period of the resident company in which ends the accounting period of the controlled foreign company which is mentioned in subsection (1) above or, if there is more than one such rate, the average rate over the whole of that accounting period of the resident company.
- (4A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (4B) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (5) Tax shall not, by virtue of subsection (4) above, be chargeable on a company resident in the United Kingdom unless, on the apportionment in question, the aggregate of—
- (a) the amount of the controlled foreign company’s chargeable profits for the accounting period in question which is apportioned to the resident company, and
- (b) any amounts of those chargeable profits which are apportioned to persons who are connected or associated with the resident company,
is at least 25 per cent. of the total of those chargeable profits.
- (5A) Where the resident company has made an application under section 751A which has been granted, it shall be assumed for the purposes of subsection (5) above that—
- (a) each of the persons who are connected or associated with the resident company has made an application under that section to the same effect, and
- (b) all the applications have been granted.
- (6) In relation to a company resident outside the United Kingdom—
- (a) any reference in this Chapter to its chargeable profits for an accounting period is a reference to the amount which, on the assumptions in Schedule 24, would be the amount of the total profits of the company for that period on which, after allowing for any deductions available against those profits, corporation tax would be chargeable;
- (aa) any reference in this Chapter to its chargeable profits for an accounting period includes (subject to subsections (7) to (9)) income which accrues during that accounting period to the trustees of a settlement in relation to which the company is a settlor or a beneficiary; and
- (b) any reference in this Chapter to profits does not include a reference to chargeable gains but otherwise (except as provided by paragraph (a) above) has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of corporation tax.
- (7) Where there is more than one settlor or beneficiary in relation to the settlement mentioned in subsection (6)(aa), the income is to be apportioned between the company and the other settlors or beneficiaries on a just and reasonable basis.
- (8) Where income within subsection (6)(aa) is included in the chargeable profits of a company, any dividend or other distribution received by the company which derives from that income is not included in the chargeable profits of the company to the extent that it is so derived.
- (9) Any income within subsection (6)(aa) which would (apart from this subsection)—
- (a) be included in the chargeable profits of a company which is a beneficiary in relation to a settlement and apportioned under subsection (3), and
- (b) be included in the chargeable profits of a company which is a settlor in relation to the settlement and apportioned under that subsection,
is not to be included in the chargeable profits of the company which is a settlor.
#### Limitations on direction-making power
##### 748
- (1) No apportionment under section 747(3) falls to be made as regards an accounting period of a controlled foreign company if—
- (a) in respect of that period the company pursues, within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 25, an acceptable distribution policy; or
- (b) throughout that period the company is, within the meaning of Part II of that Schedule, engaged in exempt activities; or
- (c) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (d) the chargeable profits of the accounting period do not exceed £50,000 or, if the accounting period is less than 12 months, a proportionately reduced amount; or
- (e) as respects the accounting period, the company is, within the meaning of regulations made by the Board for the purposes of this paragraph, resident in a territory specified in the regulations and satisfies—
- (i) such conditions with respect to its income or gains as may be so specified; and
- (ii) such other conditions (if any) as may be so specified.
- (1A) Regulations under paragraph (e) of subsection (1) above may—
- (a) make different provision for different cases or with respect to different territories;
- (b) make provision having effect in relation to accounting periods of controlled foreign companies ending not more than one year before the date on which the regulations are made; and
- (c) contain such supplementary, incidental, consequential and transitional provision as the Board may think fit.
- (2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (3) Notwithstanding that none of paragraphs (a) to (e) of subsection (1) above applies to an accounting period of a controlled foreign company, no apportionment under section 747(3) falls to be made as regards that accounting period if it is the case that—
- (a) in so far as any of the transactions the results of which are reflected in the profits arising in that accounting period, or any two or more transactions taken together, the results of at least one of which are so reflected, achieved a reduction in United Kingdom tax, either the reduction so achieved was minimal or it was not the main purpose or one of the main purposes of that transaction or, as the case may be, of those transactions taken together to achieve that reduction, and
- (b) it was not the main reason or, as the case may be, one of the main reasons for the company’s existence in that accounting period to achieve a reduction in United Kingdom tax by a diversion of profits from the United Kingdom,
and Part IV of Schedule 25 shall have effect with respect to the preceding provisions of this subsection.
- (4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (6) This section is subject to section 748A.
#### Residence and interest
##### 749
- (1) Subject to subsections (2) to (4) and (6) below, in any accounting period in which a company is resident outside the United Kingdom, it shall be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as resident in that territory in which, throughout that period, it is liable to tax by reason of domicile, residence or place of management.
- (2) If, in the case of any company,—
- (a) there are in any accounting period two or more territories falling within subsection (1) above, and
- (b) no election or designation made under paragraph (d) or (e) of subsection (3) below in relation to an earlier accounting period of the company has effect by virtue of section 749A(1) in relation to that accounting period,
subsection (3) below shall apply with respect to that company and that accounting period.
- (3) Where this subsection applies, the company shall in that accounting period be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as resident in only one of those territories, namely—
- (a) if, throughout the accounting period, the company’s place of effective management is situated in one of those territories only, in that territory;
- (b) if, throughout the accounting period, the company’s place of effective management is situated in two or more of those territories, in that one of them in which, at the end of the accounting period, the greater amount of the company’s assets is situated;
- (c) if neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) above applies, in that one of the territories falling within subsection (1) above in which, at the end of the accounting period, the greater amount of the company’s assets is situated;
- (d) if—
- (i) paragraph (a) above does not apply, and
- (ii) neither paragraph (b) nor paragraph (c) above produces one, and only one, of those territories,
in that one of them (if any) which is specified in an election made in relation to that accounting period by any one or more persons who together have a majority assessable interest in the company in that accounting period; and
- (e) if, in a case falling within paragraph (d) above, the time by which any election under that paragraph in relation to that accounting period must be made in accordance with section 749A(3)(b) expires without such an election having been made, in that one of those territories which the Board justly and reasonably designates in relation to that accounting period.
- (4) If, in the case of any company,—
- (a) there are in any accounting period two or more territories falling within subsection (1) above, and
- (b) an election or designation made under paragraph (d) or (e) of subsection (3) above in relation to an earlier accounting period of the company has effect by virtue of section 749A(1) in relation to the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) above,
the company shall in that accounting period be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as resident in that one of those territories which is the subject of the election or designation.
- (5) If, in the case of any company, there is in any accounting period no territory falling within subsection (1) above, then, for the purposes of this Chapter, it shall be conclusively presumed that the company is in that accounting period resident in a territory in which it is subject to a lower level of taxation.
- (6) In any case where it becomes necessary for the purposes of subsection (3) above to determine in which of two or more territories the greater amount of a company’s assets is situated at the end of an accounting period—
- (a) account shall be taken only of those assets which, immediately before the end of that period, are situated in those territories; and
- (b) the amount of them shall be determined by reference to their market value at that time.
- (7) This section is without prejudice to the provision that may be made in regulations under section 748(1)(e).
- (8) For the purposes of this section, one or more persons together have a “majority assessable interest" in a controlled foreign company in an accounting period of the company if—
- (a) each of them has an assessable interest in the company in that accounting period; and
- (b) it is likely that, were an apportionment of the chargeable profits of the company for that accounting period made under section 747(3), the aggregate of the amounts which would be apportioned to them is greater than 50 per cent. of the aggregate of the amounts which would be apportioned to all the persons who have an assessable interest in the company in that accounting period.
- (9) For the purposes of subsection (8) above, a person has an “assessable interest" in a controlled foreign company in an accounting period of the company if he is one of the persons who it is likely would be chargeable to tax under section 747(4)(a) on an apportionment of the chargeable profits and creditable tax (if any) of the company for that accounting period under section 747(3).
- (10) For the purposes of subsection (8) and (9) above, the effect of any application under section 751A shall be disregarded.
#### Territories with a lower level of taxation
##### 750
- (1) Without prejudice to subsection (5) of section 749, a company which, by virtue of any of subsections (1) to (4) of that section, is to be regarded as resident in a particular territory outside the United Kingdom shall be considered to be subject to a lower level of taxation in that territory if , after giving effect to subsections (1A) and (1B) below, the amount of tax (“the local tax”) which is paid under the law of that territory in respect of the profits of the company which arise in any accounting period is less than three-quarters of the corresponding United Kingdom tax on those profits.
- (1A) If in the case of that accounting period there is any income, or any income and any expenditure, of the company—
- (a) which is brought into account in determining the profits of the company in respect of which tax is paid under the law of that territory, but
- (b) which does not also fall to be brought into account in determining the chargeable profits of the company,
the local tax shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as reduced to what it would have been had that income and any such expenditure not been so brought into account.
- (1B) If—
- (a) under the law of that territory any tax (“the company's tax”) falls to be paid by the company in respect of profits of the company arising in that accounting period,
- (b) under that law, any repayment of tax, or any payment in respect of a credit for tax, is made to a person other than the company, and
- (c) that payment or repayment is directly or indirectly in respect of the company's tax,
the local tax shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as reduced (or further reduced) by the amount of that payment or repayment.
- (2) For the purposes of this Chapter, the amount of the corresponding United Kingdom tax on the profits arising in an accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom is the amount of corporation tax which, on the assumptions set out in Schedule 24 and subject to subsection (3) below, would be chargeable in respect of the chargeable profits of the company for that accounting period.
- (3) In determining the amount of corporation tax which, in accordance with subsection (2) above, would be chargeable in respect of the chargeable profits of an accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom—
- (a) it shall be assumed for the purposes of Schedule 24 that an apportionment under section 747(3) falls to be made as regards that period; and
- (ab) there shall be disregarded the effect of any application under section 751A; and
- (b) there shall be disregarded so much of any relief from corporation tax in respect of income as would be attributable to the local tax and would fall to be given by virtue of any provision of Part XVIII . . . ; and
- (c) there shall be deducted from what would otherwise be the amount of that corporation tax—
- (i) any amount which (on the assumptions set out in Schedule 24) would fall to be set off against corporation tax by virtue of section 7(2); and
- (ii) any amount of income tax or corporation tax actually charged in respect of any of those chargeable profits.
- (4) The references in subsection (3)(c) above to an amount falling to be set off or an amount actually charged do not include so much of any such amount as has been or falls to be repaid to the company whether on the making of a claim or otherwise.

#### Accounting periods and creditable tax
##### 751
- (1) For the purposes of this Chapter, an accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom shall begin—
- (a) whenever the company comes under the control of persons resident in the United Kingdom;
- (b) whenever the company . . . commences to carry on business unless an accounting period of the company has previously begun as respects which an apportionment under section 747(3) falls or has fallen to be made; and
- (c) whenever an accounting period of the company ends without the company then ceasing either to carry on business or to have any source of income whatsoever.
- (2) For the purposes of this Chapter, an accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom shall end if and at the time when—
- (a) the company ceases to be under the control of persons resident in the United Kingdom; or
- (b) the company becomes, or ceases to be, liable to tax in a territory; or
- (bb) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (c) the company ceases to have any source of income whatsoever;
and for the purposes of paragraph (b) above “*liable to tax*” means liable to tax by reason of domicile, residence or place of management.
- (3) Without prejudice to subsections (1) and (2) above, subsections (3), (5) and (7) of section 12 shall apply for the purposes of this Chapter as they apply for the purposes of corporation tax, but with the omission of so much of those provisions as relates to a company coming or ceasing to be within the charge to corporation tax.
- (4) Where it appears to the Board that the beginning or end of any accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom is uncertain, the Board may by notice specify as an accounting period of the company such period, not exceeding 12 months, as appears to the Board to be appropriate, and that period shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as an accounting period of the company unless the notice is subsequently amended under subsection (5) below.
- (5) If, on further facts coming to the knowledge of the Board after the giving of a notice under subsection (4) above, it appears to the Board that any accounting period specified in the notice is not the true accounting period, the Board shall amend the notice so as to specify the true period.
- (5A) Any notice under subsection (4) above, and notice of any amendment of such a notice under subsection (5) above, shall be given to every person who has an assessable interest (as defined in section 749(9)) in the company in the accounting period in question.

### CHAPTER V — OFFSHORE FUNDS
### Material interests in non-qualifying offshore funds
#### Disposal of material interests in non-qualifying offshore funds
##### 757
- (1) This Chapter applies to a disposal by any person of an asset if—
- (a) at the time of the disposal, the asset constitutes a material interest in an offshore fund which is or has at any material time been a non-qualifying offshore fund; or
- (b) at the time of the disposal, the asset constitutes an interest in a company resident in the United Kingdom or in a unit trust scheme, the trustees of which are at that time resident in the United Kingdom and at a material time after 31st December 1984 the interest was a material interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund;
and for the purpose of determining whether the asset disposed of falls within paragraph (b) above, section 127 of the 1992 Act (equation of original shares and new holding) shall have effect as it has effect for the purposes of that Act.
- (1A) But this Chapter does not apply to disposals of assets of an insurance company's long-term insurance fund.
- (2) Subject to the following provisions of this section and section 758, there is a disposal of an asset for the purposes of this Chapter if there would be such a disposal for the purposes of the 1992 Act.
- (3) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 62 of the 1992 Act (general provisions applicable on death: no deemed disposal by the deceased) where a person dies and the assets of which he was competent to dispose include an asset which is or has at any time been a material interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund, then, for the purposes of this Chapter, other than section 758—
- (a) immediately before the acquisition referred to in paragraph (a) of that subsection, that interest shall be deemed to be disposed of by the deceased for such a consideration as is mentioned in that subsection; but
- (b) nothing in this subsection affects the determination, in accordance with subsection (1) above, of the question whether that deemed disposal is one to which this Chapter applies.
- (4) Subject to subsection (3) above, section 62 of the 1992 Act applies for the purposes of this Chapter as it applies for the purposes of that Act, and the reference in that subsection to the assets of which a deceased person was competent to dispose shall be construed in accordance with subsection (10) of that section.
- (5) Section 135 of the 1992 Act (exchange of securities for those in another company treated as not involving a disposal) does not apply for the purposes of this Chapter to the extent that—
- (a) the interest in the entity that is company A for the purposes of that section that is exchanged is or was at a material time an interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund, and
- (b) the interest in the entity that is company B for those purposes that is exchanged is not an interest in such a fund.
In a case where that section would apply apart from this subsection, the exchange in question (of interests in or of an entity that are or were at a material time interests in a non-qualifying offshore fund) shall for the purposes of this Chapter constitute a disposal of interests in the offshore fund for a consideration equal to their market value at the time of the exchange.
- (6) Section 136 of the 1992 Act (scheme of reconstruction involving issue of securities treated as exchange not involving disposal) does not apply for the purposes of this Chapter to the extent that—
- (a) the interest in the entity that is company A for the purposes of that section that is exchanged is or was at a material time an interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund, and
- (b) the interest in the entity that is company B for those purposes that is exchanged is not an interest in such a fund.
In a case where that section would apply apart from this subsection, the deemed exchange in question (of interests in or of an entity that are or were at a material time interests in a non-qualifying offshore fund) shall for the purposes of this Chapter constitute a disposal of interests in the offshore fund for a consideration equal to their market value at the time of the deemed exchange.
- (7) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) a material time, in relation to the disposal of an asset, is any time on or after the earliest date on which any relevant consideration was given for the acquisition of the asset or, if that date is earlier than 1st January 1984, any time on or after 1st January 1984; and
- (b) “*relevant consideration*” means consideration which, assuming the application to the disposal of Chapter III of Part II of the 1992 Act, would fall to be taken into account in determining the amount of the gain or loss accruing on the disposal, whether that consideration was given by or on behalf of the person making the disposal or by or on behalf of a predecessor in title of his whose acquisition cost represents, directly or indirectly, the whole or any part of the acquisition cost of the person making the disposal.
#### Offshore funds operating equalisation arrangements
##### 758
- (1) For the purposes of this Chapter, an offshore fund operates equalisation arrangements if, and at a time when, arrangements are in existence which have the result that where—
- (a) a person acquires by way of initial purchase a material interest in the fund at some time during a period relevant to the arrangements; and
- (b) the fund makes a distribution for a period which begins before the date of his acquisition of that interest;
the amount of that distribution which is paid to him (assuming him still to retain that interest) will include a payment of capital which is debited to an account maintained under the arrangements (“the equalisation account”) and which is determined by reference to the income which had accrued to the fund at the date of his acquisition.
- (2) For the purposes of this section, a person acquires an interest in an offshore fund by way of initial purchase if—
- (a) his acquisition is by way of subscription for or allotment of new shares, units or other interests issued or created by the fund; or
- (b) his acquisition is by way of direct purchase from the persons concerned with the management of the fund and their sale to him is made in their capacity as managers of the fund.
- (3) Without prejudice to section 757(1), this Chapter applies, subject to the following provisions of this section, to a disposal by any person of an asset if—
- (a) at the time of the disposal, the asset constitutes a material interest in an offshore fund which at that time is operating equalisation arrangements; and
- (b) the fund is not and has not at any material time (within the meaning of section 757(7)) been a non-qualifying offshore fund; and
- (c) the proceeds of the disposal do not fall to be taken into account as a trading receipt.
- (4) This Chapter does not, by virtue of subsection (3) above, apply to a disposal if—
- (a) it takes place during such a period as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above; and
- (b) throughout so much of that period as precedes the disposal, the income of the offshore fund concerned has been of such a nature as is referred to in paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 27.
- (5) An event which, apart from section 127 of the 1992 Act (reorganisations etc.), would constitute a disposal of an asset shall constitute such a disposal for the purpose of determining whether, by virtue of subsection (3) above, there is a disposal to which this Chapter applies.
- (6) The reference in subsection (5) above to section 127 of the 1992 Act includes a reference to that section as applied by any provision of Chapter 2 of Part 4 of that Act.
- (7) The Treasury may make provision by regulations as to the application of the provisions of this section in relation to—
- (a) a part of an umbrella fund which is treated as an offshore fund under section 756B, or
- (b) a class of interest in an offshore fund which is treated as an offshore fund under section 756C.
- (8) Regulations under subsection (7) may—
- (a) make different provision for different cases, and
- (b) include such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provisions (including provisions modifying the effect of other enactments) as appear to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient.

- (2) Subject to the following provisions of this section, a person’s interest in an offshore fund is a material interest if, at the time when he acquired the interest, it could reasonably be expected that, at some time during the period of seven years beginning at the time of his acquisition, he would be able to realise the value of the interest (whether by transfer, surrender or in any other manner).
- (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above, a person is at any time able to realise the value of an interest if at that time he can realise an amount which is reasonably approximate to that portion which the interest represents (directly or indirectly) of the market value at that time of the assets of the fund.
- (4) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) above—
- (a) a person is able to realise a particular amount if he is able to obtain that amount either in money or in the form of assets to the value of that amount; and
- (b) if at any time an interest in an offshore fund has a market value which is substantially greater than the portion which the interest represents, as mentioned in subsection (3) above, of the market value at that time of the assets concerned, the ability to realise such a market value of the interest shall not be regarded as an ability to realise such an amount as is referred to in that subsection.
- (5) An interest in an offshore fund is not a material interest if—
- (a) it is an interest in respect of any loan capital or debt issued or incurred for money which, in the ordinary course of a business of banking, is lent by a person carrying on that business; or
- (b) it is a right arising under a policy of insurance.
- (6) Shares in a company that is not resident in the United Kingdom(an “overseas company”) do not constitute a material interest in an offshore fund if—

- (i) an arrangement under which, at some time within the period of seven years beginning at the time of acquisition, that company may require the other participators to purchase its shares; or
- (ii) provisions of either an agreement between the participators or the constitution of the overseas company under which the company will be wound up within a period which is, or is reasonably expected to be, shorter than the period referred to in subsection (2) above; or
- (iii) both such an arrangement and such provisions;
and in this paragraph “*participators*” means the persons holding shares falling within paragraph (c) above.

- (8) An interest in a company that is not resident in the United Kingdom is not a material interest in an offshore fund at any time when the following conditions are satisfied, namely—

- (b) that, in the event of a winding up, the holder is, by virtue of the interest and any other interest which he then holds in the same capacity, entitled to more than 50 per cent. of the assets remaining after the discharge of all liabilities having priority over the interest or interests concerned.
- (9) The market value of any asset for the purposes of this Chapter shall be determined in like manner as it would be determined for the purposes of the 1992 Act except that, in the case of an interest in an offshore fund for which there are separate published buying and selling prices, section 272(5) of that Act (meaning of “*market value*” in relation to rights of unit holders in a unit trust scheme) shall apply with any necessary modifications for determining the market value of the interest for the purposes of this Chapter.

- (5) If, by virtue of subsection (1) or (3), offshore income gains are treated as arising to a person, for the purposes of section 761 as it applies in relation to the offshore income gains treat the person as having made the disposal in question.
- (6) To the extent that an offshore income gain is treated, by virtue of subsection (1) or (3), as having arisen to any person resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, that gain shall not be deemed to be the income of any individual for the purposes of . . . any provision of Chapter 5 of Part 5 of ITTOIA 2005.
#### Deduction of offshore income gain in determining capital gain
##### 763
- (1) The provisions of this section apply where a disposal to which this Chapter applies gives rise to an offshore income gain; and, if that disposal also constitutes the disposal of the interest concerned for the purposes of the 1992 Act, then that disposal is in the following provisions of this section referred to as the 1992 Act disposal.
- (2) So far as relates to an offshore income gain which arises on a material disposal (within the meaning of Part I of Schedule 28), subsections (3) and (4) below shall have effect in relation to the 1992 Act disposal in substitution for section 37(1) of that Act (deduction of consideration chargeable to tax on income).
- (3) Subject to the following provisions of this section, in the computation of the gain accruing on the 1992 Act disposal, a sum equal to the offshore income gain shall be deducted from the sum which would otherwise constitute the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal.
- (4) Where the 1992 Act disposal is of such a nature that, by virtue of section 42 of that Act (part disposals) an apportionment falls to be made of certain expenditure, no deduction shall be made by virtue of subsection (3) above in determining, for the purposes of the fraction in subsection (2) of that section, the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal.
- (5) If the 1992 Act disposal forms part of a transfer to which section 162 of that Act applies (roll-over relief on transfer of business in exchange wholly or partly for shares) then, for the purposes of subsection (4) of that section (determination of the amount of the deduction from the gain on the old assets) “B” in the fraction in that subsection (the value of the whole of the consideration received by the transferor in exchange for the business) shall be taken to be what it would be if the value of the consideration other than shares so received by the transferor were reduced by a sum equal to the offshore income gain.
- (6) Where the disposal to which this Chapter applies constitutes such a disposal by virtue of section 757(5) or (6) or 758(5), the 1992 Act shall have effect as if an amount equal to the offshore income gain to which the disposal gives rise were given (by the person making the exchange concerned) as consideration for the new holding, within the meaning of section 128 of that Act (consideration given or received for new holding on a reorganisation).
- (6A) Where the disposal to which this Chapter applies constitutes such a disposal by virtue of section 762A (exchange of interests of different classes), the 1992 Act shall have effect as if an amount equal to the offshore income gain to which that disposal gives rise were given (by the person making the exchange) as consideration for the new holding (within the meaning of section 128 of that Act (consideration given or received for new holding on a reorganisation)).
- (7) In any case where—
- (a) a disposal to which this Chapter applies by virtue of subsection (3) of section 758 is made otherwise than to the offshore fund concerned or the persons referred to in subsection (2)(b) of that section; and
- (b) subsequently, a distribution which is referable to the asset disposed of is paid either to the person who made the disposal or to a person connected with him; and
- (c) the disposal gives rise (in accordance with Part II of Schedule 28) to an offshore income gain;
then, for the purposes of the Tax Acts, the amount of the first distribution falling within paragraph (b) above shall be taken to be reduced or, as the case may be, extinguished by deducting therefrom an amount equal to the offshore income gain referred to in paragraph (c) above and, if that amount exceeds the amount of that first distribution, the balance shall be set against the second and, where necessary, any later distribution falling within paragraph (b) above, until the balance is exhausted.
- (8) For the purposes of subsection (7)(b) above, whether the person who made the disposal is connected with another person is determined in accordance with section 839.

- (3) *Where the functions of a body corporate consist wholly or mainly in the holding of investments or other property, the holding of the investments or property shall be deemed for the purposes of this section and sections* 765*and* 766*to be a business carried on by the body corporate.*

### Change in ownership of company
#### Change in ownership of company: disallowance of trading losses
##### 768
- (1) If—
- (a) within any period of three years there is both a change in the ownership of a company and (either earlier or later in that period, or at the same time) a major change in the nature or conduct of a trade carried on by the company, or
- (b) at any time after the scale of the activities in a trade carried on by a company has become small or negligible, and before any considerable revival of the trade, there is a change in the ownership of the company,
no relief shall be given under section 393 by setting a loss incurred by the company in an accounting period beginning before the change of ownership against any income or other profits of an accounting period ending after the change of ownership.
- (2) In applying this section to the accounting period in which the change of ownership occurs, the part ending with the change of ownership, and the part after, shall be treated as two separate accounting periods, and the profits or losses of the accounting period shall be apportioned to the two parts.
- (3) The apportionment under subsection (2) above shall be on a time basis according to the respective lengths of those parts except that if it appears that that method would work unreasonably or unjustly such other method shall be used as appears just and reasonable.
- (4) In subsection (1) above “*major change in the nature or conduct of a trade*” includes—
- (a) a major change in the type of property dealt in, or services or facilities provided, in the trade; or
- (b) a major change in customers, outlets or markets of the trade;
and this section applies even if the change is the result of a gradual process which began outside the period of three years mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above.
- (5) In relation to any relief available under section 343 to a successor company, subsection (1) above shall apply as if any loss sustained by a predecessor company had been sustained by a successor company and as if the references to a trade included references to the trade as carried on by a predecessor company.
- (6) Where relief in respect of a company’s losses has been restricted under this section then, notwithstanding section 577(3) of the Capital Allowances Act, in applying the provisions of that Act about balancing charges to the company by reference to any event after the change of ownership of the company, any allowance or deduction falling to be made in taxing the company’s trade for any chargeable period before the change of ownership shall be disregarded unless the profits or gains of that chargeable period or of any subsequent chargeable period before the change of ownership were sufficient to give effect to the allowance or deduction.
- (7) In applying subsection (6) above it shall be assumed that any profits or gains are applied in giving effect to any such allowance or deduction in preference to being set off against any loss which is not attributable to such an allowance or deduction.
- (8) Where the operation of this section depends on circumstances or events at a time after the change of ownership (but not more than three years after), an assessment to give effect to the provisions of this section shall not be out of time if made within six years from that time, or the latest of those times.
- (9) Any person in whose name any shares, stock or securities of a company are registered shall, if required by notice by an inspector given for the purposes of this section, state whether or not he is the beneficial owner of those shares or securities and, if not the beneficial owner of those shares or securities of any of them, shall furnish the name and address of the person or persons on whose behalf those shares, stock or securities are registered in his name.
#### Rules for ascertaining change in ownership of company
##### 769
- (1) For the purposes of sections 767A, 767AA, 767C, 768, 768A, 768B , 768C and 768D there is a change in the ownership of a company—
- (a) if a single person acquires more than half the ordinary share capital of the company; or
- (b) if two or more persons each acquire a holding of 5 per cent. or more of the ordinary share capital of the company, and those holdings together amount to more than half the ordinary share capital of the company; or
- (c) if two or more persons each acquire a holding of the ordinary share capital of the company, and the holdings together amount to more than half the ordinary share capital of the company, but disregarding a holding of less than 5 per cent. unless it is an addition to an existing holding and the two holdings together amount to 5 per cent. or more of the ordinary share capital of the company.
- (2) In applying subsection (1) above—
- (a) the circumstances at any two points of time with not more than three years between may be compared, and a holder at the later time may be regarded as having acquired whatever he did not hold at the earlier time, irrespective of what he has acquired or disposed of in between;
- (b) to allow for any issue of shares or other reorganisation of capital, the comparison may be made in terms of percentage holdings of the total ordinary share capital at the respective times, so that a person whose percentage holding is greater at the later time may be regarded as having acquired a percentage holding equal to the increase;
- (c) to decide for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) or (c) above if any person has acquired a holding of at least 5 per cent., or a holding which makes at least 5 per cent. when added to an existing holding, acquisitions by, and holdings of, two or more persons who are connected persons within the meaning of section 839 shall be aggregated as if they were acquisitions by, and holdings of, one and the same person;
- (d) any acquisition of shares under the will or on the intestacy of a deceased person , and any gift of shares which is unsolicited and made without regard to the provisions of sections 767A, 767AA, 768, 768A, 768B , 768C and 768D, . . . shall be left out of account.
- (2A) Where—
- (a) persons, whether company members or not, possess extraordinary rights or powers under the articles of association or under any other document regulating the company, and
- (b) because of that fact ownership of the ordinary share capital may not be an appropriate test of whether there has been a change in the ownership of the company,
then, in considering whether there has been a change in the ownership of the company for the purposes of section 767A , 767AA or 767C, holdings of all kinds of share capital, including preference shares, or of any particular category of share capital, or voting power or any other kind of special power may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital.
- (3) Where, because persons, whether company members or not, possess extraordinary rights or powers under the articles of association or under any other document regulating the company, ownership of the ordinary share capital may not be an appropriate test of whether there has been a major change in the persons for whose benefit the losses may ultimately enure, then, in considering whether there has been a change in the ownership of the company for the purposes of section 768 , 768A or 768D, holdings of all kinds of share capital, including preference shares, or of any particular category of share capital, or voting power or any other special kind of power, may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital.
- (3A) Subsection (3) above shall apply for the purposes of sections 768B and 768C as if the reference to the benefit of losses were a reference to the benefit of deductions.
- (4) Where section 768, 768A, 768B , 768C or 768D has operated to restrict relief by reference to a change of ownership taking place at any time, no transaction or circumstances before that time shall be taken into account in determining whether there is any subsequent change of ownership.
- (5) A change in the ownership of a company shall be disregarded for the purposes of sections 767A, 767AA, 767C, 768, 768A, 768B , 768C and 768D if—
- (a) immediately before the change the company is the 75 per cent. subsidiary of another company, and
- (b) (although there is a change in the direct ownership of the company) that other company continues after the change to own the first-mentioned company as a 75 per cent. subsidiary.
- (6) If there is a change in the ownership of a company, including a change occurring by virtue of the application of this subsection but not a change which is to be disregarded under subsection (5) above, then—
- (a) in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above, the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) shall be taken for the purposes of this section to acquire at the time of the change any relevant assets owned by the company;
- (b) in a case falling within subsection (1)(b) above but not within subsection (1)(a) above, each of the persons mentioned in subsection (1)(b) shall be taken for the purposes of this section to acquire at the time of the change the appropriate proportion of any relevant assets owned by the company; and
- (c) in any other case, each of the persons mentioned in paragraph (c) of subsection (1) above (other than any whose holding is disregarded under that paragraph) shall be taken for the purposes of this section to acquire at the time of the change the appropriate proportion of any relevant assets owned by the company.
- (6A) In subsection (6) above—
- “*the appropriate proportion*”, in relation to one of two or more persons mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or (c) above, means a proportion corresponding to the proportion which the percentage of the ordinary share capital acquired by him bears to the percentage of that capital acquired by all those persons taken together; and
- “*relevant assets*”, in relation to a company, means—
- (a) any ordinary share capital of another company, and
- (b) any property or rights which under subsection (3) above may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital of another company.
- (6B) Notwithstanding that at any time a company (“the subsidiary company”) is a 75 per cent. subsidiary of another company (“the parent company”) it shall not be treated at that time as such a subsidiary for the purposes of this section unless, additionally, at that time—
- (a) the parent company would be beneficially entitled to not less than 75 per cent. of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the subsidiary company; and
- (b) the parent company would be beneficially entitled to not less than 75 per cent. of any assets of the subsidiary company available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up.
- (6C) Schedule 18 shall apply for the purposes of subsection (6B) above as it applies for the purposes of section 413(7).
- (7) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) references to ownership shall be construed as references to beneficial ownership, and references to acquisition shall be construed accordingly;
- (b) *a company shall be deemed to be a* 75*per cent. subsidiary of another company if and so long as not less than three-quarters of its ordinary share capital is owned by that other company, whether directly or through another company or other companies, or partly directly and partly through another company or other companies*;
- (c) *the amount of ordinary share capital of one company owned by a second company through another company or other companies or partly directly and partly through another company or other companies, shall be determined in accordance with subsections* (5)*to* (10)*of section* 838;*and*
- (d) “*shares*” includes stock.
- (8) If any acquisition of ordinary share capital or other property or rights taken into account in determining that there has been a change of ownership of a company was made in pursuance of a contract of sale or option or other contract, or the acquisition was made by a person holding such a contract, then the time when the change in the ownership of the company took place shall be determined as if the acquisition had been made when the contract was made with the holder or when the benefit of it was assigned to him so that, in the case of a person exercising an option to purchase shares, he shall be regarded as having purchased the shares when he acquired the option.
- (9) Subsection (8) above shall not apply in relation to section 767A , 767AA or 767C.

- (b) a dealing company makes any payment to such an associated company, being a payment in respect of which the dealing company is entitled to a deduction in computing its profits or gains for tax purposes for any period;

#### Transactions in land: taxation of capital gains
##### 776
- (1) This section is enacted to prevent the avoidance of tax by companies concerned with land or the development of land.

- (b) land is held as trading stock; or
- (c) land is developed with the sole or main object of realising a gain from disposing of the land when developed;
and any gain of a capital nature is obtained from the disposal of the land—

- (ii) where any arrangement or scheme is effected as respects the land which enables a gain to be realised by any indirect method, or by any series of transactions, by any person who is a party to, or concerned in, the arrangement or scheme;
and this subsection applies whether any such person obtains the gain for himself or for any other person.
- (3) Where this section applies, the whole of any such gain shall for all the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts be treated—
- (a) as being income which arises when the gain is realised . . . ; and
- (b) subject to the following provisions of this section, as being income of the company by which the gain is realised.
- (3A) The gain treated as income shall be charged—
- (a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

- (3B) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (4) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) land is disposed of if, by any one or more transactions, or by any arrangement or scheme, whether concerning the land or property deriving its value from the land, the property in the land, or control over the land, is effectually disposed of; and
- (b) references in subsection (2) above to the acquisition or development of property with the sole or main object of realising the gain from disposing of the land shall be construed accordingly.

- (b) any number of transactions may be regarded as constituting a single arrangement or scheme if a common purpose can be discerned in them, or if there is other sufficient evidence of a common purpose.
- (6) For the purposes of this section, such method of computing a gain shall be adopted as is just and reasonable in the circumstances, taking into account the value of what is obtained for disposing of the land, and allowing only such expenses as are attributable to the land disposed of; and in applying this subsection—
- (a) where a freehold is acquired and the reversion is retained on disposal, account may be taken of the way in which the profits under . . . Case I of Schedule D of a company dealing in land are computed in such a case; or
- (b) account may be taken of the adjustments to be made in computing such profits under . . . subsections (2) and (3) of section 99 above.

- (7) Subsection (2)(c) above shall not apply to so much of any gain as is fairly attributable to the period, if any, before the intention to develop the land was formed, and which would not fall under paragraph (a) or (b) of that subsection; and in applying this subsection account shall be taken of the treatment under . . .

for the reference in subsection (2) above to the amount of the capital sum there shall be substituted a reference to that amount after deducting the amount of the payment in respect of which a deduction is not allowed for that reason.
- (6) So far as in respect of a capital sum any part of a payment allowed as a deduction by way of tax relief of a kind to which this section applies is taken into account in making an assessment under subsection (1) above, that part of the payment shall be left out of account in determining whether any and if so what amount should be assessed by reference to any other capital sum; and the order in which this subsection is applied shall be the order in which the capital sums are obtained.

- (1A) This section does not apply to a payment if or to the extent that, in the case of the lessee, it falls to be regarded in accordance with Chapter 6A of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act as a payment under a lease which is a long funding finance lease for the purposes of that Part.
- (2) Subject to the following provisions of this section, the deduction allowable in computing the profits or losses of the trade for the purposes of tax as respects any such payment shall not exceed the commercial rent of the asset for the period for which the payment was made.
- (3) If under subsection (2) above part of a payment which would otherwise be allowable as a deduction is not so allowable, and one or more subsequent payments are made by the same person under the same lease, that part of the first-mentioned payment may be carried forward and treated for the purposes of computing the profits or losses of the trade for the purposes of tax as if it were made at the time when the next of those subsequent payments was made, and so made for the period for which that subsequent payment was made.
- (4) For the purposes of subsection (2) above—
- (a) if more than one payment is made for the same period the payments shall be taken together;

and to the extent that a part of a payment carried forward under subsection (3) above is not allowable as a deduction it may again be carried forward under that subsection.
- (5) A payment made for a period all of which falls more than one year after the payment is made shall be treated for the purposes of this section as made for that period of one year beginning with the date on which the payment is made, and a payment for a period part of which falls after the end of that year shall be treated for those purposes as if a corresponding part of the payment was made for that year (and no part for any later period).
- (6) For the purpose of making a comparison under subsection (2) above between a payment, or payments taken together, and the commercial rent of the asset, “*commercial rent*” shall mean the rent which might at the relevant time be expected to be paid under a lease of the asset for the remainder of the anticipated normal working life of the asset, being a rent payable at uniform intervals and at a uniform rate which would afford a reasonable return for its market value at the relevant time, having regard to the terms and conditions of the lease; and in this subsection—
- “*anticipated normal working life*” means, in the case of any asset, the period which might be expected, when the asset is first put into use, to be going to elapse before it is finally put out of use as being unfit for further use, it being assumed that the asset is going to be used in the normal manner and to the normal extent, and is going to be so used throughout that period; and
- “*the relevant time*” means the time when the lease was created under which the payment was made with which the commercial rent is to be compared.
- (7) If the asset is used at the same time partly for the purposes of the trade and partly for other purposes the commercial rent as defined in subsection (6) above shall be determined by reference to what would be paid for such a partial use of the asset.

- (5) For the purposes of this section and, subject to section 795(3), Chapter II of this Part in its application to relief under this section, any amount of tax which would have been payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom but for a relief to which this subsection applies given under the law of that territory shall be treated as having been payable; and references in this section and that Chapter to double taxation, to tax payable or chargeable, or to tax not chargeable directly or by deduction shall be construed accordingly.

- (7) Where—
- (a) under any arrangements which have effect by virtue of this section, relief may be given, either in the United Kingdom or in the territory in relation to which the arrangements are made, in respect of any income or chargeable gains, and
- (b) it appears that the assessment to income tax or corporation tax made in respect of the income or chargeable gains is not made in respect of the full amount thereof, or is incorrect having regard to the credit, if any, which falls to be given under the arrangements,
any such assessments may be made as are necessary to ensure that the total amount of the income or chargeable gains is assessed, and the proper credit, if any, is given in respect thereof, and, where the income is, or the chargeable gains are, entrusted to any person in the United Kingdom for payment, any such assessment may be made on the recipient of the income or gains, and, in the case of an assessment to corporation tax in respect of income, may be assessed under Case VI of Schedule D.

- (2) Relief under subsection (1) above is referred to in this Part as “*unilateral relief*”.
- (3) Unilateral relief shall be such relief as would fall to be given under Chapter II of this Part if arrangements in relation to the territory in question containing the provisions specified in subsections (4) to (10C) below were in force by virtue of section 788, but subject to any particular provision made with respect to unilateral relief in that Chapter; and any expression in that Chapter which imports a reference to relief under arrangements for the time being having effect by virtue of that section shall be deemed to import also a reference to unilateral relief.

- (a) where the territory is the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands, the limitation to income or gains arising in the territory shall not apply;
- (b) where arrangements in relation to the territory are for the time being in force by virtue of section 788, credit for tax paid under the law of the territory shall not be allowed by virtue of subsection (4) above in the case of any income or gains if any credit for that tax is allowable under those arrangements in respect of that income or those gains; and

- (a) not less than 10 per cent. of the voting power in the company paying the dividend; or

- (i) it has been reduced below that percentage on or after 1st April 1972; or
- (ii) it has been acquired on or after that date in exchange for voting power in another company in respect of which relief under this subsection by virtue of paragraph (a) above was due prior to the exchange;
and the company receiving the dividend shows that the conditions specified in subsection (7) below are satisfied;
any tax in respect of its profits paid under the law of the territory by the company paying the dividend shall be taken into account in considering whether any, and if so what, credit is to be allowed in respect of the dividend.
- (6A) A company falls within this subsection if—
- (a) it is resident in the United Kingdom; or
- (b) it is resident outside the United Kingdom but the dividend mentioned in subsection (6) above forms part of the profits of a permanent establishment of the company’s in the United Kingdom.
- (7) The conditions referred to in subsection (6)(b) above are as follows—
- (a) that the reduction below the 10 per cent. limit (and any further reduction) or, as the case may be, the exchange (and any reduction thereafter) could not have been prevented by any reasonable endeavours on the part of the company receiving the dividend and was due to a cause or causes not reasonably foreseeable by it when control of the relevant voting power was acquired; and
- (b) no reasonable endeavours on the part of that company could have restored or, as the case may be, increased the voting power to not less than 10 per cent.
- (8) In subsection (7) above references to the company receiving the dividend include references—
- (a) to any company of which it is a subsidiary within the meaning of section 792(2); and

- (9) In subsection (7) above “*the relevant voting power*” means the voting power by virtue of which relief was due under subsection (6)(a) above prior to the reduction or exchange or, where control of the whole of that voting power was not acquired at the same time, that part of the voting power of which control was last acquired.
- (10) In any case in which relief in respect of a dividend is due by virtue of subsection (6)(b) above, there shall be taken into account, as if it were tax payable under the law of the territory in which the company paying the dividend is resident, any tax that would be so taken into account under section 801 if the company paying the dividend and the company receiving it were related to each other within the meaning of section 801(5).
- (10A) In any case where—
- (a) under the law of the territory outside the United Kingdom, an amount of tax (“*the spared tax*”) would, but for a relief, have been payable by a company resident in that territory (“*company A*”) in respect of any of its profits,
- (b) company A pays a dividend out of those profits to another company resident in that territory (“*company B*”),
- (c) company B, out of profits which consist of or include the whole or part of that dividend, pays a dividend to a company resident in the United Kingdom (“*company C*”), and
- (d) the circumstances are such that, had company B been resident in the United Kingdom, it would have been entitled, under arrangements made in relation to the territory outside the United Kingdom and having effect by virtue of section 788, to a relief to which subsection (5) of that section applies in respect of the spared tax,
subsection (10B) below shall apply.
- (10B) In any case falling within subsection (10A) above, the spared tax shall be taken into account for the purposes of—
- (a) the other provisions of this section, and
- (b) subject to section 795(3), Chapter II of this Part in its application to relief under this section in relation to the dividend paid to company C,
as if it had been payable and paid; and references in this section and that Chapter to double taxation, to tax payable or chargeable, or to tax not chargeable directly or by deduction shall be construed accordingly.
- (10C) Except as provided by subsection (10B) above, in relation to any dividend paid—
- (a) to a company resident in the United Kingdom,
- (b) by a company resident in the territory outside the United Kingdom,
credit by virtue of section 801 does not fall to be given by virtue of this section in respect of tax which would have been payable under the law of that or any other territory outside the United Kingdom but for a relief (notwithstanding any arrangements made in relation to that or any other territory outside the United Kingdom which have effect by virtue of section 788 and provide for a relief to which subsection (5) of that section applies).
- (11) Where—
- (a) unilateral relief may by given in respect of any income or chargeable gain, and
- (b) it appears that the assessment to income tax or corporation tax made in respect of the income or chargeable gain is not made in respect of the full amount thereof, or is incorrect having regard to the credit, if any, which falls to be given by way of unilateral relief,
any such assessments may be made as are necessary to ensure that the total amount of the income or chargeable gain is assessed, and the proper credit, if any, is given in respect thereof, and, where the income is, or the chargeable gain is, entrusted to any person in the United Kingdom for payment, any such assessment may be made on the recipient of the income or gain, and, in the case of an assessment to corporation tax in respect of income, may be assessed under Case VI of Schedule D.
- (12) In this section and in Chapter II of this Part in its application to unilateral relief, references to tax payable or paid under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom include only references—
- (a) to taxes which are charged on income and which correspond to United Kingdom income tax, and
- (b) to taxes which are charged on income or chargeable gains and which correspond to United Kingdom corporation tax;
but for this purpose tax under the law of any such territory shall not be treated as not corresponding to income tax or corporation tax by reason only that it is payable under the law of a province, state or other part of a country, or is levied by or on behalf of a municipality or other local body.
#### Power to make regulations for carrying out section 788
##### 791
The Board may from time to time make regulations generally for carrying out the provisions of section 788 or any arrangements having effect thereunder, and may in particular by those regulations provide—
- (a) for securing that relief from taxation imposed by the laws of the territory to which any such arrangements relate does not enure for the benefit of persons not entitled to such relief; and
- (b) for authorising, in cases where tax deductible from any payment has, in order to comply with any such arrangements, not been deducted, and it is discovered that the arrangements did not apply to that payment, the recovery of the tax by assessment on the person entitled to the payment or by deduction from subsequent payments.

- (2) For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
#### Payments under certified schemes which are not repayments of contributions
##### 570
- (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, where, under any scheme which is for the time being certified or has at any time been certified by the Secretary of State under section 568, any payment (not being a payment made by way of repayment of contributions) is made to a person carrying on a trade to which the scheme relates, that payment shall be treated for the purposes of the Tax Acts as a trading receipt of the trade, and shall accordingly be taken into account in computing the profits of the trade for those purposes.
- (2) Where . . . the payments which have been made under such a scheme in respect of a trade (not being payments made by way of repayment of contributions) have been made wholly or partly in respect of damage in respect of which no relief may be given under the Tax Acts, and a claim is made to that effect, then, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 21—
- (a) relief shall be given in respect of those payments by reducing the amounts which are to be treated as trading receipts of the trade under subsection (1) above; but
- (b) where such relief is given, section 568 shall, in relation to contributions subsequently paid under the scheme in respect of the trade, have effect subject to the modifications specified in Part III of that Schedule,
and paragraph 6 of that Schedule applies for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of that Schedule.
- (3) The provisions of this section and Schedule 21 shall apply in relation to any payment made to a person who has ceased to carry on a trade to which any such scheme as is mentioned in subsection (1) above relates as they apply in relation to payments made to a person carrying on such a trade, subject to the modification that so much of that payment as falls to be treated as a trading receipt by virtue of those provisions shall be deemed for the purposes of those provisions to have been made to him on the last day on which he was engaged in carrying on the trade.
- (4) In determining for the purposes of this section and of Schedule 21—
- (a) whether any trade has ceased to be carried on; or
- (b) whether any contribution is paid in respect of a trade in respect of which a payment has been made; or
- (c) whether any payment is made in respect of a trade in respect of which a contribution has been paid,
no regard shall be had to any event which, by virtue of section 337(1) above or section 18 of ITTOIA 2005 (companies beginning or ceasing to carry on trade), is to be treated as effecting a discontinuance of a trade.
#### Cancellation of certificates
##### 571
- (1) Where any certificate granted with respect to a scheme under section 568 is cancelled by the Secretary of State, and any deductible contributions paid in furtherance of the scheme have not been repaid at the expiration of one year from the cancellation, the body of persons carrying out the scheme shall, for the chargeable period in which that year expires, be charged to tax (in the case of corporation tax, under Case VI of Schedule D) upon the aggregate amount of the deductible contributions which have not been repaid at that time.
- (1A) An amount charged to income tax under subsection (1) above is treated for income tax purposes as an amount of income.
- (2) The charge to tax under subsection (1) above shall not be made if the total amount of any contributions, other than deductible contributions, which have been paid under the scheme and have not been repaid before that time is greater than the available resources of the scheme, and shall not in any case be made upon an amount greater than the excess, if any, of those resources over that total amount.
- (3) In subsection (2) above “*the available resources*”, in relation to any scheme, means a sum representing the total funds held for the purposes of the scheme at the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate plus a sum representing any funds held for the purposes of the scheme which, during that year, have been applied otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted.
- (4) Where the body of persons carrying out a scheme are charged to tax by virtue of subsection (1) above, and, after the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate, any deductible contribution paid in furtherance of the scheme is repaid, the amount upon which the charge is made shall on the making of a claim be reduced by the amount repaid, and all such repayments of tax shall be made as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this subsection.
- (5) In this section “*contribution*” includes a part of a contribution, and “*deductible contribution*” means a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568, any reduction under Part III of Schedule 21 being left out of account.
- (6) For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
#### Application to statutory redundancy schemes
##### 572
- (1) Sections 569 to 571 and Schedule 21 shall, subject to the adaptations specified in subsection (2) below, apply in relation to a statutory redundancy scheme as they apply in relation to a scheme certified under section 568.
- (2) The adaptations referred to above are as follows, that is to say—
- (a) for any reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568 there shall be substituted a reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under any provision of the Tax Acts other than that section;
- (b) any provision that section 568 shall, in relation to contributions, have effect subject to modifications, shall be construed as a provision that so much of any provision of the Tax Acts other than that section as authorises the deduction of contributions shall, in relation to the contributions in question, have effect subject to the modifications in question;
- (c) for any reference to the cancellation of a certificate with respect to a scheme there shall be substituted a reference to the scheme ceasing to have effect; and
- (d) for any reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted there shall be substituted a reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the contributions were first paid thereunder.

### CHAPTER V — PURCHASED LIFE ANNUITIES
#### Purchased life annuities other than retirement annuities
##### 656
- (1) Subject to section 657, a purchased life annuity shall, for the purposes of the provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts relating to tax on annuities and other annual payments, be treated as containing a capital element and, to the extent of the capital element, as not being an annual payment or in the nature of an annual payment; but the capital element in such an annuity shall be taken into account in computing profits or gains or losses for other corporation tax purposes in any circumstances in which a lump sum payment would be taken into account.
- (2) Where, in the case of any purchased life annuity to which this section applies, the amount of any annuity payment (but not the term of the annuity) depends on any contingency other than the duration of a human life or lives—
- (a) the capital element shall be determined by reference—
- (i) to the amount or value of the payments made or other consideration given for the grant of the annuity (“*the purchase price*”); and
- (ii) to the expected term of the annuity, as at the date when the first annuity payment began to accrue, expressed in years (and any odd fraction of a year), and determined by reference to the prescribed tables of mortality;
and in head (ii) above “*term*” means the period from the date when the first annuity payment begins to accrue to the date when the last payment becomes payable;
- (b) the capital element in any annuity payment made in respect of a period of 12 months shall be a fraction—
$1E$
of the purchase price, where E is the expected term referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) above;
- (c) the capital element in any annuity payment made in respect of a period of less than, or more than, 12 months shall be the amount at (b) above reduced or, as the case may be, increased, in the same proportion as the length of that period bears to a period of 12 months;
- (d) subsection (3) below shall not apply but paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (4) below shall apply as they apply to that subsection.
- (3) Subject to subsection (2) above, in the case of any purchased life annuity to which this section applies—
- (a) the capital element shall be determined by reference to the amount or value of the payments made or other consideration given for the grant of the annuity; and
- (b) the proportion which the capital element in any annuity payment bears to the total amount of that payment shall be constant for all payments on account of the annuity; and
- (c) where neither the term of the annuity nor the amount of any annuity payment depends on any contingency other than the duration of a human life or lives, that proportion shall be the same proportion which the total amount or value of the consideration for the grant of the annuity bears to the actuarial value of the annuity payments as determined in accordance with subsection (4) below; and
- (d) where either the term of the annuity or the amount of any annuity payment (but not both) depends on any contingency other than the duration of a human life or lives, that proportion shall be such as may be just, having regard to paragraph (c) above and to the contingencies affecting the annuity; and
- (e) where both the term of the annuity and the amount of any annuity payment depend on any contingency other than the duration of a human life or lives, that proportion shall be such as may be just, having regard to subsection (2) above and to the contingencies affecting the annuity.
- (4) For the purposes of subsection (3) above—
- (a) any entire consideration given for the grant of an annuity and for some other matter shall be apportioned as appears just (but so that a right to a return of premiums or other consideration for an annuity shall not be treated for this purpose as a distinct matter from the annuity);
- (b) where it appears that the amount or value of the consideration purporting to be given for the grant of an annuity has affected, or has been affected by, the consideration given for some other matter, the aggregate amount or value of those considerations shall be treated as one entire consideration given for both and shall be apportioned under paragraph (a) above accordingly; and
- (c) the actuarial value of any annuity payments shall be taken to be their value as at the date when the first of those payments begins to accrue, that value being determined by reference to the prescribed tables of mortality and without discounting any payment for the time to elapse between that date and the date it is to be made.
- (5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (6) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (7) In using the prescribed tables of mortality to determine—
- (a) the expected term of an annuity for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) above, or
- (b) the actuarial value of any annuity payments for the purposes of subsection (4)(c) above,
the age, as at the date when the first of the annuity payments begins to accrue, of a person during whose life the annuity is payable shall be taken to be the number of years of his age at his last birthday preceding that date.
- (8) In any case where it is not possible to determine the expected term of an annuity for the purposes of subsection (2)(a) above by reference to the prescribed tables of mortality, that term shall for those purposes be such period as may be certified by the Government Actuary or the Deputy Government Actuary.
- (9) In any case where it is not possible to determine the actuarial value of any annuity payments for the purposes of subsection (4)(c) above by reference to the prescribed tables of mortality, that value shall for those purposes be such amount as may be certified by the Government Actuary or the Deputy Government Actuary.

## PART XVI — ESTATES OF DECEASED PERSONS IN COURSE OF ADMINISTRATION
#### Limited interests in residue
##### 695
- (1) The following provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to a company which, during the period commencing on the death of a deceased person and ending on the completion of the administration of his estate (“*the administration period*”) or during a part of that period, has a limited interest in the residue of the estate or in a part thereof.
- (2) When any sum has been paid during the administration period in respect of that limited interest, the amount of that sum shall . . . be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that company as income for the accounting period in which that sum was paid or, in the case of a sum paid in respect of an interest that has ceased, for the last accounting period in which it was subsisting.
- (3) Where, on the completion of the administration of the estate, there is an amount which remains payable in respect of that limited interest, that amount shall be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that company as income for the accounting period in which the administration period ends or, in the case of a sum which is deemed to be paid in respect of an interest that ceased before the end of the administration period, for the last accounting period in which that interest was subsisting.
- (4) Any amount which is deemed to have been paid to that company as income for any accounting period by virtue of this section shall—
- (a) in the case of a United Kingdom estate, be deemed to be income of such an amount as would after deduction of income tax for the relevant year of assessment be equal to the amount deemed to have been so paid, and to be income which has borne income tax at the applicable rate; and
- (b) in the case of a foreign estate, be deemed to be income of the amount deemed to have been so paid . . . .
- (5) Where—
- (a) a company has been charged to corporation tax for any accounting period by virtue of this section in respect of an amount deemed to have been paid to it as income in respect of an interest in a foreign estate (“*the deemed income*”), and
- (b) any part of the aggregate income of that estate for the relevant year of assessment has borne United Kingdom income tax by deduction or otherwise (“*the aggregate income*”),
the tax so charged on it shall, on proof of the facts on a claim, be reduced by an amount bearing the same proportion thereto as the amount of the deemed income which has borne United Kingdom income tax, less the tax so borne, bears to the amount of the aggregate income, less the tax so borne.
- (6) Where relief has been given under subsection (5) above, such part of the amount in respect of which the company has been charged to corporation tax as corresponds to the proportion mentioned in that subsection shall . . . be deemed to represent income of such an amount as would after deduction of income tax be equal to that part of the amount charged.
- (7) In this section “*the relevant year of assessment*”, in relation to an amount deemed to have been paid to a company as income for an accounting period by virtue of this section, means the year of assessment for which the amount would have been deemed to have been paid as income if references to accounting periods in subsections (2) and (3) were references to years of assessment.
#### Absolute interests in residue
##### 696
- (1) The following provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to a company which, during the administration period or during a part of that period, has an absolute interest in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in a part thereof.
- (2) There shall be ascertained in accordance with section 697 the amount of the residuary income of the estate for each whole year of assessment, and for each broken part of a year of assessment, during which—
- (a) the administration period was current, and
- (b) that company had that interest;
and the amount so ascertained in respect of any year or part of a year or, in the case of a company having an absolute interest in a part of a residue, a proportionate part of that amount, is in this Part referred to as the “*residuary income*” of that company for that year of assessment ; and references to the residuary income of a company for an accounting period are to be construed in accordance with subsection (8).
- (3) When any sum has been paid during the administration period in respect of that absolute interest, that sum, except so far as it is excluded from the operation of this subsection, shall be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that company as income for the accounting period in which it was actually paid.
- (3A) A payment shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (3) above to the extent (if any) that the aggregate of that sum and all the sums which—
- (a) have been paid previously during the administration period in respect of that absolute interest, and
- (b) fall under this section to be treated as paid to that company as income (whether or not the company was a company liable to corporation tax at the time of payment),
exceeds the aggregated income entitlement of that company for the accounting period in which the sum is paid.
- (3B) For the purposes of this section the aggregated income entitlement of that company for any accounting period is the amount which would be the aggregate of the amounts received for that accounting period and all previous accounting periods in respect of the interest if that company had a right in each accounting period to receive, and had received—
- (a) in the case of a United Kingdom estate, its residuary income for that accounting period less income tax at the applicable rate for that accounting period; and
- (b) in the case of a foreign estate, its residuary income for that accounting period.
- (4) In the case of a United Kingdom estate, any amount which is deemed to have been paid to that company as income for any accounting period by virtue of subsection (3) above shall be deemed to be income of such an amount as would, after deduction of income tax for that accounting period, be equal to the amount deemed to have been so paid, and to be income that has borne income tax at the applicable rate.
- (5) Where, on the completion of the administration of the estate, the aggregate of all the sums which, apart from this subsection—
- (a) have been paid during the administration period in respect of that absolute interest, and
- (b) fall under this section to be treated as paid to that company as income,
is exceeded by the aggregated income entitlement of that company for the accounting period in which the administration of the estate is completed, then an amount equal to the amount of the excess shall be treated for the purposes of subsections (3) to (4) above as having been actually paid, immediately before the end of the administration period, in respect of that interest.
- (6) In the case of a foreign estate, any amount which is deemed to have been paid to that company as income for any accounting period by virtue of this section shall be deemed to be income of that amount . . . .
- (7) Where—
- (a) a company has been charged to corporation tax for any accounting period by virtue of this section in respect of an amount deemed to have been paid to it as income in respect of an interest in a foreign estate (“*the deemed income*”), and
- (b) any part of the aggregate income of that estate for the relevant year of assessment has borne United Kingdom income tax by deduction or otherwise (“*the aggregate income*”),
the tax so charged on it shall, on proof of the facts on a claim, be reduced by an amount bearing the same proportion thereto as the amount of the deemed income which has borne United Kingdom income tax bears to the amount of the aggregate income.
- (8) . . . The residuary income of a company shall be computed in the first instance by reference to years of assessment, and the residuary income for any such year shall be apportioned between the accounting periods (if more than one) comprising that year.
- (9) In subsection (7) “*the relevant year of assessment*”, in relation to an amount deemed to have been paid to a company as income for an accounting period by virtue of this section, means the year of assessment for which the amount would have been deemed to have been paid as income if references in subsections (3) to (6) to accounting periods were references to years of assessment.
#### Supplementary provisions as to absolute interests in residue
##### 697
- (1) The amount of the residuary income of an estate for any year of assessment shall be ascertained by deducting from the aggregate income of the estate for that year—
- (a) the amount of any annual interest, annuity or other annual payment for that year which is a charge on residue and the amount of any payment made in that year in respect of any such expenses incurred by the personal representatives as such in the management of the assets of the estate as, in the absence of any express provision in a will, would be properly chargeable to income, but excluding any such interest, annuity or payment allowed or allowable in computing the aggregate income of the estate; and
- (b) the amount of any of the aggregate income of the estate for that year to which a person has on or after assent become entitled by virtue of a specific disposition either for a vested interest during the administration period or for a vested or contingent interest on the completion of the administration.
- (1A) For the purpose of ascertaining under subsection (1) above the residuary income of an estate for any year, where the amount of the deductions falling to be made from the aggregate income of the estate for that year (including any falling to be made by virtue of this subsection) exceeds the amount of that income, the excess shall be carried forward and treated for that purpose as an amount falling to be deducted from the aggregate income of the estate for the following year.
- (2) In the event of its appearing, on the completion of the administration of an estate in the residue of which, or in a part of the residue of which, a company had an absolute interest at the completion of the administration, that the aggregate of the benefits received in respect of that interest does not amount to as much as the aggregate for all years of the residuary income of the company having that interest, section 696 shall have effect as if the amount of the deficiency were to be applied in reducing the amount taken to be its residuary income for the year in which the administration of the estate is completed and, in so far as the deficiency exceeds that income, in reducing the amount taken to be its residuary income for the previous year, and so on.
- (3) In subsection (2) above “*benefits received*” in respect of an absolute interest means the following amounts in respect of all sums paid before, or payable on, the completion of the administration in respect of that interest, that is to say—
- (a) as regards a sum paid before the completion of the administration, in the case of a United Kingdom estate such an amount as would, after deduction of income tax for the year of assessment in which that sum was paid, be equal to that sum, or in the case of a foreign estate the amount of that sum; and
- (b) as regards a sum payable on the completion of the administration, in the case of a United Kingdom estate such an amount as would, after deduction of income tax for the year of assessment in which the administration is completed, be equal to that sum, or in the case of a foreign estate the amount of that sum.
- (4) In the application of subsection (2) above to a residue or a part of a residue in which a person other than the person having an absolute interest at the completion of the administration had an absolute interest at any time during the administration period, the aggregates mentioned in that subsection shall be computed in relation to those interests taken together . . . .
- (5) If the amount resulting from the computation mentioned in subsection (4) is greater than the total amount of the reduction which can be made under subsection (2), the share of the residuary income of the estate of the last previous holder of the interest for the last year in which that person had that interest is to be reduced, and so on.
#### Special provisions as to certain interests in residue
##### 698
- (1) Where the personal representatives of a deceased person have as such a right in relation to the estate of another deceased person such that, if that right were vested in them for their own benefit, they would have an absolute or limited interest in the residue of that estate or in a part of that residue, they shall be deemed to have that interest notwithstanding that that right is not vested in them for their own benefit, and any amount deemed to be paid to them as income by virtue of this Part shall be treated as part of the aggregate income of the estate of the person whose personal representatives they are.
- (1A) Subsection (1B) below applies where—
- (a) successively during the administration period there are different persons with interests in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in parts of such a residue;
- (b) the later interest or, as the case may be, each of the later interests arises or is created on the cessation otherwise than by death of the interest that precedes it; and
- (c) the earlier or, as the case may be, earliest interest is a limited interest.
- (1B) Where this subsection applies, this Part shall have effect in relation to any payment made in respect of any of the interests referred to in subsection (1A) above—
- (a) as if all those interests were the same interest so that none of them is to be treated as having ceased on being succeeded by any of the others;
- (b) as if (subject to paragraph (c) below) the interest which is deemed to exist by virtue of paragraph (a) above (“the deemed single interest”) were an interest of—
- (i) except in a case to which sub-paragraph (ii) below applies, the person in respect of whose interest or previous interest the payment is made;
- (ii) in a case where the person entitled to receive the payment is any other person who has or has had an interest which is deemed to be comprised in the deemed single interest, that other person;
and
- (c) in so far as any of the later interests is an absolute interest as if, for the purposes of section 696(3A) to (5)—
- (i) the earlier interest or interests had never existed and the absolute interest had always existed;
- (ii) the sums (if any) which were deemed in relation to the earlier interest or interests to have been paid as income for any accounting period to any of the persons entitled thereto were sums previously paid during the administration period in respect of the absolute interest; and
- (iii) those sums were sums falling to be treated as sums paid as income to the person entitled to the absolute interest.
- (2) Where successively during the administration period there are different persons with absolute interests in the residue of the estate of a deceased person or in parts of such a residue, the aggregate payments and aggregated income entitlement referred to in subsections (3A) and (3B) of section 696 shall be computed for the purposes of that section in relation to an absolute interest subsisting at any time (“the subsequent interest”)—
- (a) as if the subsequent interest and any previous absolute interest corresponding to the subsequent interest, or relating to any part of the residue to which the subsequent interest relates, were the same interest; and
- (b) as if the residuary income for any accounting period of the person entitled to the previous interest were residuary income of the person entitled to the subsequent interest and any amount deemed to be paid as income to the person entitled to the previous interest were an amount deemed to have been paid to the person entitled to the subsequent interest.
- (3) Where, upon the exercise of a discretion, any of the income of the residue of the estate of a deceased person for any period (being the administration period or a part of the administration period) would, if the residue had been ascertained at the commencement of that period, be properly payable to any person, or to another in his right, for his benefit, whether directly by the personal representatives or indirectly through a trustee or other person—
- (a) the amount of any sum paid pursuant to an exercise of the discretion in favour of that person shall be deemed for corporation tax purposes to have been paid to that person as income for the accounting period in which it was paid; and
- (b) section 695(4) to (6) shall have effect in relation to an amount which is deemed to have been paid as income by virtue of paragraph (a) above.
- (4) Subsection (5) applies in any case where—
- (a) successively during the administration period there are different persons with absolute interests in the residue of the estate of a deceased person, or in parts of such a residue, and
- (b) some, but not all are companies liable to corporation tax in respect of income within this Part.
- (5) References in this section—
- (a) to sums deemed to be paid as income for an accounting period to a person who is not such a company,
- (b) to the residuary income for any accounting period of such a person, or
- (c) to amounts deemed to be paid to such a person as income,
are references to sums that would be so deemed, to the income that would be such residuary income or, as the case may be, to the amounts that would be so deemed if the assumptions in subsection (6) were made.
- (6) The assumptions are—
- (a) that each of the persons who is not a company liable to corporation tax in respect of income within this Part is such a company, and
- (b) that in the case of each person who is not a company, the person's accounting periods correspond with years of assessment.

- (2) Where on the completion of the administration of an estate any amount is deemed by virtue of this Part to have been paid to any company as income for any accounting period, and that amount is less than the amount that has previously been so deemed to have been paid to it, then—
- (a) if an assessment has already been made upon it for that accounting period, such adjustments shall be made in that assessment as may be necessary for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Part which take effect on the completion of the administration, and any corporation tax overpaid shall be repaid; and

- (ii) the amount of that relief exceeds the amount of relief which could have been given by reference to the amount which, on the completion of the administration, is deemed to have been paid to it as income for that accounting period,
the relief so given in excess may, if not otherwise made good, be charged under Case VI of Schedule D and recovered from that company accordingly.
- (3) Notwithstanding anything in the Tax Acts, the time within which an assessment may be made for the purposes of this Part, or an assessment may be adjusted for those purposes, or a claim for relief may be made by virtue of this Part, shall not expire before the end of the period of three years beginning with the 31st January next following the accounting period in which the administration of the estate in question was completed.

- (2) A person shall be deemed to have an absolute interest in the residue of the estate of a deceased person, or in a part of such residue, if and so long as the capital of the residue or of that part would, if the residue had been ascertained, be properly payable to him, or to another in his right, for his benefit, or is properly so payable, whether directly by the personal representatives or indirectly through a trustee or other person.
- (3) A person shall be deemed to have a limited interest in the residue of the estate of a deceased person, or in a part of such residue, during any period, being a period during which he has not an absolute interest in the residue or in that part, where the income of the residue or of that part for that period would, if the residue had been ascertained at the commencement of that period, be properly payable to him, or to another in his right, for his benefit, whether directly by the personal representatives or indirectly through a trustee or other person.
- (3A) “*Applicable rate*”, in relation to any amount which a person is deemed by virtue of this Part to receive or to have a right to receive, means the basic rate , the savings rate or the dividend ordinary rate according as the income of the residue of the estate out of which that amount is or would be paid bears tax at the basic rate , the savings rate or the dividend ordinary rate; and in determining for the purposes of this Part whether or how much of any payment is or would be deemed to be made out of income that bears tax at one rate rather than another—
- (a) such apportionments of the amounts bearing tax at different rates shall be made between different persons with interests in the residue of the estate as are just and reasonable in relation to their different interests; and
- (b) subject to paragraph (a) above, it shall be assumed that—
- (i) payments are to be made out of income bearing tax at the basic rate before they are made out of income bearing tax at the savings rateor the dividend ordinary rate; and
- (ii) that payments are to be made out of income bearing tax at the savings rate before they are made out of income bearing tax at the dividend ordinary rate.
- (4) “*Personal representatives*” means, in relation to the estate of a deceased person, his personal representatives as defined in relation to England and Wales by section 55 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925, and persons having in relation to the deceased under the law of another country any functions corresponding to the functions for administration purposes under the law of England and Wales of personal representatives as so defined; and references to “*personal representatives as such*” shall be construed as references to personal representatives in their capacity as having such functions.
- (5) “*Specific disposition*” means a specific devise or bequest made by a testator, and includes the disposition of personal chattels made by section 46 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925 and any disposition having, whether by virtue of any enactment or otherwise, under the law of another country an effect similar to that of a specific devise or bequest under the law of England and Wales.
- (6) Subject to subsection (7) below, “*charges on residue*” means, in relation to the estate of a deceased person, the following liabilities, properly payable thereout and interest payable in respect of those liabilities, that is to say—

- (8) References to the aggregate income of the estate of a deceased person for any year of assessment shall be construed as references to the aggregate income from all sources for that year of the personal representatives of the deceased as such, treated as consisting of—
- (a) any such income which is chargeable to United Kingdom income tax by deduction or otherwise, such income being computed at the amount on which that tax falls to be borne for that year; . . .
- (b) any such income which would have been so chargeable if it had arisen in the United Kingdom to a person resident and ordinarily resident there, such income being computed at the full amount thereof actually arising during that year, less such deductions as would have been allowable if it had been charged to United Kingdom income tax;
- (c) any amount of income treated as arising to the personal representatives under section 410(4) of ITTOIA 2005 (stock dividends) that would be charged to income tax under Chapter 5 of Part 4 of that Act if income arising to personal representatives were so charged (see section 413 of that Act);
- (d) in a case where section 419(2) of that Act applies (release of loans to participator in close company: debts due from personal representatives), the amount that would be charged to income tax under Chapter 6 of Part 4 apart from that section; and
- (e) any amount that would have been treated as income of the personal representatives as such under section 466 of that Act if the condition in section 466(2) had been met (gains from contracts for life insurance);
but excluding any income from property devolving on the personal representatives otherwise than as assets for payment of the debts of the deceased.
- (9) “*United Kingdom estate*” means, as regards any year of assessment or accounting period, an estate the income of which comprises only income which either—
- (a) has borne United Kingdom income tax by deduction, or
- (b) in respect of which the personal representatives are directly assessable to United Kingdom income tax,

- (10) “*Foreign estate*” means, as regards any year of assessment or accounting period, an estate which is not a United Kingdom estate.
- (10A) Amounts to which section 699A(1)(a) and (b) applies shall be disregarded in determining whether an estate is a United Kingdom estate or a foreign estate, except that any estate the aggregate income of which comprises only such amounts shall be a United Kingdom estate.
- (11) In a case in which different parts of the estate of a deceased person are the subjects respectively of different residuary dispositions, this Part shall have effect in relation to each of those parts with the substitution—
- (a) for references to the estate of references to that part of the estate; and
- (b) for references to the personal representatives of the deceased as such of references to his personal representatives in their capacity as having the functions referred to in subsection (4) above in relation to that part of the estate.
- (12) In this Part—
- (a) references to sums paid include references to assets that are transferred or that are appropriated by a personal representative to himself, and to debts that are set off or released;
- (b) references to sums payable include references to assets as to which an obligation to transfer or a right of a personal representative to appropriate to himself is subsisting on the completion of the administration and to debts as to which an obligation to release or set off, or a right of a personal representative so to do in his own favour, is then subsisting; and
- (c) references to amount shall be construed, in relation to such assets as are referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as references to their value at the date on which they were transferred or appropriated, or at the completion of the administration, as the case may require, and, in relation to such debts as are so referred to, as references to the amount thereof.
- (13) In this Part references to the administration period shall be construed in accordance with section 695(1).
- (14) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
#### Application to Scotland
##### 702
For the purpose of the application of this Part to Scotland—

#### Cancellation of tax advantage
##### 703
- (1) Where—
- (a) in any such circumstances as are mentioned in section 704, and
- (b) in consequence of a transaction in securities or of the combined effect of two or more such transactions,
a company is in a position to obtain, or has obtained, a corporation tax advantage, then unless it shows that the transaction or transactions were carried out either for bona fide commercial reasons or in the ordinary course of making or managing investments, and that none of them had as their main object, or one of their main objects, to enable corporation tax advantages to be obtained, this section shall apply to it in respect of that transaction or those transactions.
- (2) For the purposes of this Chapter a corporation tax advantage obtained or obtainable by a company shall be deemed to be obtained or obtainable by it in consequence of a transaction in securities or of the combined effect of two or more such transactions, if it is obtained or obtainable in consequence of the combined effect of the transaction or transactions and the liquidation of a company.
- (3) Where this section applies to a company in respect of any transaction or transactions, the corporation tax advantage obtained or obtainable by it in consequence thereof shall be counteracted by such of the following adjustments, that is to say an assessment, the nullifying of a right to repayment or the requiring of the return of a repayment already made (the amount to be returned being chargeable . . . under Case VI of Schedule D and recoverable accordingly), or the computation or recomputation of profits or gains, or liability to corporation tax, on such basis as the Board may specify by notice served on it as being requisite for counteracting the corporation tax advantage so obtained or obtainable.

- (4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

- (6) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (7) *In the case of a man and his wife living with him (whether or not she is separately assessed to tax), this Chapter shall, subject to subsection* (8)*below, be treated as applying to him in respect of any transaction or transactions as it would apply if any property, rights or liabilities of the wife were his property, rights or liabilities in relation to which she had acted only as nominee for him, and shall be treated as applying to the wife in respect of any transaction or transactions as it would apply if any property, rights or liabilities of the man were her property, rights or liabilities in relation to which he had acted only as nominee for her*.
- (8) *No adjustment made under subsection* (3)*above by reference to any transaction or transactions to counteract any tax advantage shall by virtue of subsection* (7)*above be so made that a person bears more tax than if the transaction or transactions had not had as a consequence that any relief or increased relief from, or repayment or increased repayment of, income tax, or any deduction in computing profits or gains, was obtained or obtainable, or that the way in which receipts accrued was such that the recipient did not pay or bear tax on them*.
- (9) The Board shall not give a notice under subsection (3) above until they have notified the company in question that they have reason to believe that this section may apply to it in respect of a transaction or transactions specified in the notification; and if within 30 days of the issue of the notification that company, being of opinion that this section does not so apply to it, makes a statutory declaration to that effect stating the facts and circumstances upon which its opinion is based, and sends it to the Board, then subject to subsection (10) below, this section shall not apply to it in respect of the transaction or transactions.
- (10) If, when a statutory declaration has been sent to the Board under subsection (9) above, they see reason to take further action in the matter—
- (a) the Board shall send to the tribunal a certificate to that effect, together with the statutory declaration, and may also send therewith a counter-statement with reference to the matter;
- (b) the tribunal shall take into consideration the declaration and the certificate, and the counter-statement, if any, and shall determine whether there is or is not a prima facie case for proceeding in the matter, and if they determine that there is no such case this section shall not apply to the company in question in respect of the transaction or transactions;
but any such determination shall not affect the operation of this section in respect of transactions which include that transaction or some or all of those transactions and also include another transaction or other transactions.
- (11) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (12) This section applies whether the corporation tax advantage in question relates to a chargeable period ending before or after the commencement of this Act, but nothing in this section shall authorise the making of an assessment later than six years after the accounting period to which the corporation tax advantage relates; and no other provision contained in the Corporation Tax Acts shall be construed as limiting the powers conferred by this section.

- “*company*” includes any body corporate,

- (b) in any case, that it substantially exceeds a normal return on the consideration provided by the recipient for the relevant securities, that is to say, the securities in respect of which the dividend was received and, if those securities are derived from securities previously acquired by the recipient, the securities which were previously acquired.

- (2A) The relevant provisions do not apply where the first buyer is required under the arrangements for the purchase of the securities to make to the person from whom he purchased the securities, not later than the date on which he subsequently sells the securities, a payment of an amount representative of the interest, or is treated by virtue of . . . section 602(1) of ITA 2007or paragraph 13(1) of Schedule 13 to the Finance Act 2007 as required to make such a payment.

- (ii) the repurchase of the securities by the original owner,
shall be a purchase of those securities for the purposes of subsection (2) above; and
- (b) neither—
- (i) the sale of the securities by the original owner to the interim holder, nor
- (ii) the sale by the interim holder under which the securities are bought back by the original owner,
shall be taken for the purposes of subsection (2) above to be a subsequent sale of securities previously purchased by the seller.
- (2C) Accordingly, where there is a repo agreement, the securities repurchased by the original owner shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (2) above (to the extent that that would not otherwise be the case) as if they were the same as, and were purchased by the original owner at the same time as, the securities sold by him to the interim holder.
- (2D) For the purposes of subsections (2B) and (2C) above there is a repo agreement in relation to any securities if there is an agreement in pursuance of which a person (“*the original owner*”) sells the securities to another (“*the interim holder*”) and the original owner—
- (a) is required to buy them back in pursuance of an obligation imposed by, or in consequence of the exercise of an option acquired under, that agreement or any related agreement,

- (b) references to buying back securities include buying similar securities even if the securities bought have not previously been held by the purchaser (and references in those subsections to repurchase are to be construed accordingly).
- (2G) For the purposes of subsection (2F) above securities are similar if they entitle their holders to—
- (a) the same rights against the same persons as to capital, interest and dividends, and
- (b) the same remedies for the enforcement of those rights,
in spite of any difference in the total nominal amounts of the respective securities or in the form in which they are held or the manner in which they can be transferred.
- (3) The relevant provisions do not apply where—
- (a) the time elapsing between the purchase by the first buyer and his taking steps to dispose of the securities exceeded six months, or
- (b) that time exceeded one month and the purchase and sale were each effected at the current market price, and the sale was not effected in pursuance of an agreement or arrangement made before or at the time of the purchase.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (4) The reference in subsection (3) above to the first buyer taking steps to dispose of the securities shall be construed—

- (b) in any other case, as a reference to his selling them.
- (4A) For the purposes of subsection (3) above, where a purchase or sale is effected as a direct result of the exercise of a qualifying option, it shall be treated as effected at the current market price if the terms under which the first buyer acquired the option, or, as the case may be, became subject to it, were arm’s length terms.
- (4B) For the purposes of subsection (4A) above an option is a “*qualifying option*” if it would be a traded option or financial option as defined in subsection (8) of section 144 of the 1992 Act were the reference in paragraph (b) of that subsection to the time of the abandonment or other disposal a reference to the time of exercise.
- (4C) In subsection (4A) above the reference to arm’s length terms is to terms—
- (a) agreed between persons dealing at arm’s length, or
- (b) not so agreed, but nonetheless such as might reasonably be expected to have been agreed between persons so dealing.
- (5) For the purposes of the relevant provisions, a sale of securities similar to, and of the like nominal amount as, securities previously bought (“the original securities”) shall be equivalent to a sale of the original securities, and subsection (4) above shall apply accordingly; and where the first buyer bought parcels of similar securities at different times a subsequent sale of any of the securities shall, so far as may be, be related to the last to be bought of the parcels, and then to the last but one, and so on.
- (6) A person shall be under no greater liability to tax by virtue of subsection (5) above than he would have been under if instead of selling the similar securities he had sold the original securities.
- (7) Where at the time when a trade is, or is deemed to be, set up and commenced , or when a trade is subject to a relevant change, any securities form part of the trading stock belonging to the trade, those securities shall be treated for the purposes of this section—
- (a) as having been sold at that time in the open market by the person to whom they belonged immediately before that time, and
- (b) as having been purchased at that time in the open market by the person thereafter engaged in carrying on the trade.
- (7A) For the purposes of subsection (7) above a trade is subject to a relevant change—
- (a) when there is a change in the persons carrying on the trade which involves all of the persons carrying it on before the change permanently ceasing to carry it on, or
- (b) when a company starts to be within the charge to income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005 in respect of the trade.
- (8) Subject to subsection (7) above, where there is a change in the persons engaged in carrying on a trade which is not a change on which the trade is deemed to be discontinued, the provisions of this section shall apply in relation to the person so engaged after the change as if anything done to or by his predecessor had been done to or by him.

- (9D) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
- (10) For the purposes of the relevant provisions, securities shall be deemed to be similar if they entitle their holders to the same rights against the same persons as to capital and interest and the same remedies for the enforcement of those rights, notwithstanding any difference in the total nominal amounts of the respective securities or in the form in which they are held or the manner in which they can be transferred; and for the purposes of this subsection, rights guaranteed by the Treasury shall be treated as rights against the Treasury.

- (3A) In the case of an apportionment to a company resident in the United Kingdom which has made an application under section 751A which has been granted, subsection (3) above has effect subject to that section.

- (a) in so far as any of the transactions the results of which are reflected in the profits arising in that accounting period, or any two or more transactions taken together, the results of at least one of which are so reflected, achieved a reduction in United Kingdom tax, either the reduction so achieved was minimal or it was not the main purpose or one of the main purposes of that transaction or, as the case may be, of those transactions taken together to achieve that reduction, and
- (b) it was not the main reason or, as the case may be, one of the main reasons for the company’s existence in that accounting period to achieve a reduction in United Kingdom tax by a diversion of profits from the United Kingdom,

#### Residence and interest
##### 749
- (1) Subject to subsections (2) to (4) and (6) below, in any accounting period in which a company is resident outside the United Kingdom, it shall be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as resident in that territory in which, throughout that period, it is liable to tax by reason of domicile, residence or place of management.
- (2) If, in the case of any company,—
- (a) there are in any accounting period two or more territories falling within subsection (1) above, and
- (b) no election or designation made under paragraph (d) or (e) of subsection (3) below in relation to an earlier accounting period of the company has effect by virtue of section 749A(1) in relation to that accounting period,
subsection (3) below shall apply with respect to that company and that accounting period.
- (3) Where this subsection applies, the company shall in that accounting period be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as resident in only one of those territories, namely—

- (c) if neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) above applies, in that one of the territories falling within subsection (1) above in which, at the end of the accounting period, the greater amount of the company’s assets is situated;
- (d) if—
- (i) paragraph (a) above does not apply, and
- (ii) neither paragraph (b) nor paragraph (c) above produces one, and only one, of those territories,
in that one of them (if any) which is specified in an election made in relation to that accounting period by any one or more persons who together have a majority assessable interest in the company in that accounting period; and
- (e) if, in a case falling within paragraph (d) above, the time by which any election under that paragraph in relation to that accounting period must be made in accordance with section 749A(3)(b) expires without such an election having been made, in that one of those territories which the Board justly and reasonably designates in relation to that accounting period.
- (4) If, in the case of any company,—
- (a) there are in any accounting period two or more territories falling within subsection (1) above, and
- (b) an election or designation made under paragraph (d) or (e) of subsection (3) above in relation to an earlier accounting period of the company has effect by virtue of section 749A(1) in relation to the accounting period mentioned in paragraph (a) above,
the company shall in that accounting period be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as resident in that one of those territories which is the subject of the election or designation.
- (5) If, in the case of any company, there is in any accounting period no territory falling within subsection (1) above, then, for the purposes of this Chapter, it shall be conclusively presumed that the company is in that accounting period resident in a territory in which it is subject to a lower level of taxation.
- (6) In any case where it becomes necessary for the purposes of subsection (3) above to determine in which of two or more territories the greater amount of a company’s assets is situated at the end of an accounting period—
- (a) account shall be taken only of those assets which, immediately before the end of that period, are situated in those territories; and
- (b) the amount of them shall be determined by reference to their market value at that time.

- (b) it is likely that, were an apportionment of the chargeable profits of the company for that accounting period made under section 747(3), the aggregate of the amounts which would be apportioned to them is greater than 50 per cent. of the aggregate of the amounts which would be apportioned to all the persons who have an assessable interest in the company in that accounting period.
- (9) For the purposes of subsection (8) above, a person has an “assessable interest" in a controlled foreign company in an accounting period of the company if he is one of the persons who it is likely would be chargeable to tax under section 747(4)(a) on an apportionment of the chargeable profits and creditable tax (if any) of the company for that accounting period under section 747(3).
- (10) For the purposes of subsection (8) and (9) above, the effect of any application under section 751A shall be disregarded.
#### Territories with a lower level of taxation
##### 750
- (1) Without prejudice to subsection (5) of section 749, a company which, by virtue of any of subsections (1) to (4) of that section, is to be regarded as resident in a particular territory outside the United Kingdom shall be considered to be subject to a lower level of taxation in that territory if , after giving effect to subsections (1A) and (1B) below, the amount of tax (“the local tax”) which is paid under the law of that territory in respect of the profits of the company which arise in any accounting period is less than three-quarters of the corresponding United Kingdom tax on those profits.
- (1A) If in the case of that accounting period there is any income, or any income and any expenditure, of the company—
- (a) which is brought into account in determining the profits of the company in respect of which tax is paid under the law of that territory, but
- (b) which does not also fall to be brought into account in determining the chargeable profits of the company,
the local tax shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as reduced to what it would have been had that income and any such expenditure not been so brought into account.
- (1B) If—
- (a) under the law of that territory any tax (“the company's tax”) falls to be paid by the company in respect of profits of the company arising in that accounting period,
- (b) under that law, any repayment of tax, or any payment in respect of a credit for tax, is made to a person other than the company, and
- (c) that payment or repayment is directly or indirectly in respect of the company's tax,
the local tax shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as reduced (or further reduced) by the amount of that payment or repayment.
- (2) For the purposes of this Chapter, the amount of the corresponding United Kingdom tax on the profits arising in an accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom is the amount of corporation tax which, on the assumptions set out in Schedule 24 and subject to subsection (3) below, would be chargeable in respect of the chargeable profits of the company for that accounting period.
- (3) In determining the amount of corporation tax which, in accordance with subsection (2) above, would be chargeable in respect of the chargeable profits of an accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom—
- (a) it shall be assumed for the purposes of Schedule 24 that an apportionment under section 747(3) falls to be made as regards that period; and
- (ab) there shall be disregarded the effect of any application under section 751A; and
- (b) there shall be disregarded so much of any relief from corporation tax in respect of income as would be attributable to the local tax and would fall to be given by virtue of any provision of Part XVIII . . . ; and
- (c) there shall be deducted from what would otherwise be the amount of that corporation tax—
- (i) any amount which (on the assumptions set out in Schedule 24) would fall to be set off against corporation tax by virtue of section 7(2); and
- (ii) any amount of income tax or corporation tax actually charged in respect of any of those chargeable profits.
- (4) The references in subsection (3)(c) above to an amount falling to be set off or an amount actually charged do not include so much of any such amount as has been or falls to be repaid to the company whether on the making of a claim or otherwise.

- (4) Where it appears to the Board that the beginning or end of any accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom is uncertain, the Board may by notice specify as an accounting period of the company such period, not exceeding 12 months, as appears to the Board to be appropriate, and that period shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as an accounting period of the company unless the notice is subsequently amended under subsection (5) below.
- (5) If, on further facts coming to the knowledge of the Board after the giving of a notice under subsection (4) above, it appears to the Board that any accounting period specified in the notice is not the true accounting period, the Board shall amend the notice so as to specify the true period.

- (b) any amount which (on those assumptions) would fall to be set off against corporation tax on those chargeable profits by virtue of section 7(2); and

- (4) Where subsection (3) above does not apply, the apportionment of the controlled foreign company’s chargeable profits and creditable tax (if any) for the relevant accounting period shall be made on a just and reasonable basis among the persons who have relevant interests in the company at any time in that period.

### CHAPTER V — OFFSHORE FUNDS
### Material interests in non-qualifying offshore funds
#### Disposal of material interests in non-qualifying offshore funds
##### 757
- (1) This Chapter applies to a disposal by any person of an asset if—
- (a) at the time of the disposal, the asset constitutes a material interest in an offshore fund which is or has at any material time been a non-qualifying offshore fund; or
- (b) at the time of the disposal, the asset constitutes an interest in a company resident in the United Kingdom or in a unit trust scheme, the trustees of which are at that time resident in the United Kingdom and at a material time after 31st December 1984 the interest was a material interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund;
and for the purpose of determining whether the asset disposed of falls within paragraph (b) above, section 127 of the 1992 Act (equation of original shares and new holding) shall have effect as it has effect for the purposes of that Act.
- (2) Subject to the following provisions of this section and section 758, there is a disposal of an asset for the purposes of this Chapter if there would be such a disposal for the purposes of the 1992 Act.
- (3) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 62 of the 1992 Act (general provisions applicable on death: no deemed disposal by the deceased) where a person dies and the assets of which he was competent to dispose include an asset which is or has at any time been a material interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund, then, for the purposes of this Chapter, other than section 758—
- (a) immediately before the acquisition referred to in paragraph (a) of that subsection, that interest shall be deemed to be disposed of by the deceased for such a consideration as is mentioned in that subsection; but
- (b) nothing in this subsection affects the determination, in accordance with subsection (1) above, of the question whether that deemed disposal is one to which this Chapter applies.
- (4) Subject to subsection (3) above, section 62 of the 1992 Act applies for the purposes of this Chapter as it applies for the purposes of that Act, and the reference in that subsection to the assets of which a deceased person was competent to dispose shall be construed in accordance with subsection (10) of that section.
- (5) Section 135 of the 1992 Act (exchange of securities for those in another company treated as not involving a disposal) does not apply for the purposes of this Chapter to the extent that—
- (a) the interest in the entity that is company A for the purposes of that section that is exchanged is or was at a material time an interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund, and
- (b) the interest in the entity that is company B for those purposes that is exchanged is not an interest in such a fund.
In a case where that section would apply apart from this subsection, the exchange in question (of interests in or of an entity that are or were at a material time interests in a non-qualifying offshore fund) shall for the purposes of this Chapter constitute a disposal of interests in the offshore fund for a consideration equal to their market value at the time of the exchange.
- (6) Section 136 of the 1992 Act (scheme of reconstruction involving issue of securities treated as exchange not involving disposal) does not apply for the purposes of this Chapter to the extent that—
- (a) the interest in the entity that is company A for the purposes of that section that is exchanged is or was at a material time an interest in a non-qualifying offshore fund, and
- (b) the interest in the entity that is company B for those purposes that is exchanged is not an interest in such a fund.
In a case where that section would apply apart from this subsection, the deemed exchange in question (of interests in or of an entity that are or were at a material time interests in a non-qualifying offshore fund) shall for the purposes of this Chapter constitute a disposal of interests in the offshore fund for a consideration equal to their market value at the time of the deemed exchange.
- (7) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) a material time, in relation to the disposal of an asset, is any time on or after the earliest date on which any relevant consideration was given for the acquisition of the asset or, if that date is earlier than 1st January 1984, any time on or after 1st January 1984; and
- (b) “*relevant consideration*” means consideration which, assuming the application to the disposal of Chapter III of Part II of the 1992 Act, would fall to be taken into account in determining the amount of the gain or loss accruing on the disposal, whether that consideration was given by or on behalf of the person making the disposal or by or on behalf of a predecessor in title of his whose acquisition cost represents, directly or indirectly, the whole or any part of the acquisition cost of the person making the disposal.
#### Offshore funds operating equalisation arrangements
##### 758
- (1) For the purposes of this Chapter, an offshore fund operates equalisation arrangements if, and at a time when, arrangements are in existence which have the result that where—
- (a) a person acquires by way of initial purchase a material interest in the fund at some time during a period relevant to the arrangements; and
- (b) the fund makes a distribution for a period which begins before the date of his acquisition of that interest;
the amount of that distribution which is paid to him (assuming him still to retain that interest) will include a payment of capital which is debited to an account maintained under the arrangements (“the equalisation account”) and which is determined by reference to the income which had accrued to the fund at the date of his acquisition.
- (2) For the purposes of this section, a person acquires an interest in an offshore fund by way of initial purchase if—
- (a) his acquisition is by way of subscription for or allotment of new shares, units or other interests issued or created by the fund; or
- (b) his acquisition is by way of direct purchase from the persons concerned with the management of the fund and their sale to him is made in their capacity as managers of the fund.
- (3) Without prejudice to section 757(1), this Chapter applies, subject to the following provisions of this section, to a disposal by any person of an asset if—
- (a) at the time of the disposal, the asset constitutes a material interest in an offshore fund which at that time is operating equalisation arrangements; and
- (b) the fund is not and has not at any material time (within the meaning of section 757(7)) been a non-qualifying offshore fund; and
- (c) the proceeds of the disposal do not fall to be taken into account as a trading receipt.
- (4) This Chapter does not, by virtue of subsection (3) above, apply to a disposal if—
- (a) it takes place during such a period as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above; and
- (b) throughout so much of that period as precedes the disposal, the income of the offshore fund concerned has been of such a nature as is referred to in paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 27.
- (5) An event which, apart from section 127 of the 1992 Act (reorganisations etc.), would constitute a disposal of an asset shall constitute such a disposal for the purpose of determining whether, by virtue of subsection (3) above, there is a disposal to which this Chapter applies.
- (6) The reference in subsection (5) above to section 127 of the 1992 Act includes a reference to that section as applied by any provision of Chapter 2 of Part 4 of that Act.
- (7) The Treasury may make provision by regulations as to the application of the provisions of this section in relation to—
- (a) a part of an umbrella fund which is treated as an offshore fund under section 756B, or
- (b) a class of interest in an offshore fund which is treated as an offshore fund under section 756C.
- (8) Regulations under subsection (7) may—
- (a) make different provision for different cases, and
- (b) include such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provisions (including provisions modifying the effect of other enactments) as appear to the Treasury to be necessary or expedient.

- (b) if at any time an interest in an offshore fund has a market value which is substantially greater than the portion which the interest represents, as mentioned in subsection (3) above, of the market value at that time of the assets concerned, the ability to realise such a market value of the interest shall not be regarded as an ability to realise such an amount as is referred to in that subsection.

- (a) it is an interest in respect of any loan capital or debt issued or incurred for money which, in the ordinary course of a business of banking, is lent by a person carrying on that business; or
- (b) it is a right arising under a policy of insurance.
- (6) Shares in a company that is not resident in the United Kingdom(an “overseas company”) do not constitute a material interest in an offshore fund if—

- (b) the shares confer at least 10 per cent. of the total voting rights in the overseas company and a right, in the event of a winding-up, to at least 10 per cent. of the assets of that company remaining after the discharge of all liabilities having priority over the shares; and
- (c) not more than ten persons hold shares in the overseas company and all the shares in that company confer both voting rights and a right to participate in the assets on a winding-up; and

- (i) an arrangement under which, at some time within the period of seven years beginning at the time of acquisition, that company may require the other participators to purchase its shares; or
- (ii) provisions of either an agreement between the participators or the constitution of the overseas company under which the company will be wound up within a period which is, or is reasonably expected to be, shorter than the period referred to in subsection (2) above; or

- (1) The provisions of this section apply where a disposal to which this Chapter applies gives rise to an offshore income gain; and, if that disposal also constitutes the disposal of the interest concerned for the purposes of the 1992 Act, then that disposal is in the following provisions of this section referred to as the 1992 Act disposal.
- (2) So far as relates to an offshore income gain which arises on a material disposal (within the meaning of Part I of Schedule 28), subsections (3) and (4) below shall have effect in relation to the 1992 Act disposal in substitution for section 37(1) of that Act (deduction of consideration chargeable to tax on income).
- (3) Subject to the following provisions of this section, in the computation of the gain accruing on the 1992 Act disposal, a sum equal to the offshore income gain shall be deducted from the sum which would otherwise constitute the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal.

- (6) Where the disposal to which this Chapter applies constitutes such a disposal by virtue of section 757(5) or (6) or 758(5), the 1992 Act shall have effect as if an amount equal to the offshore income gain to which the disposal gives rise were given (by the person making the exchange concerned) as consideration for the new holding, within the meaning of section 128 of that Act (consideration given or received for new holding on a reorganisation).
- (6A) Where the disposal to which this Chapter applies constitutes such a disposal by virtue of section 762A (exchange of interests of different classes), the 1992 Act shall have effect as if an amount equal to the offshore income gain to which that disposal gives rise were given (by the person making the exchange) as consideration for the new holding (within the meaning of section 128 of that Act (consideration given or received for new holding on a reorganisation)).
- (7) In any case where—
- (a) a disposal to which this Chapter applies by virtue of subsection (3) of section 758 is made otherwise than to the offshore fund concerned or the persons referred to in subsection (2)(b) of that section; and

### Change in ownership of company
#### Change in ownership of company: disallowance of trading losses
##### 768
- (1) If—
- (a) within any period of three years there is both a change in the ownership of a company and (either earlier or later in that period, or at the same time) a major change in the nature or conduct of a trade carried on by the company, or
- (b) at any time after the scale of the activities in a trade carried on by a company has become small or negligible, and before any considerable revival of the trade, there is a change in the ownership of the company,
no relief shall be given under section 393 by setting a loss incurred by the company in an accounting period beginning before the change of ownership against any income or other profits of an accounting period ending after the change of ownership.
- (2) In applying this section to the accounting period in which the change of ownership occurs, the part ending with the change of ownership, and the part after, shall be treated as two separate accounting periods, and the profits or losses of the accounting period shall be apportioned to the two parts.
- (3) The apportionment under subsection (2) above shall be on a time basis according to the respective lengths of those parts except that if it appears that that method would work unreasonably or unjustly such other method shall be used as appears just and reasonable.
- (4) In subsection (1) above “*major change in the nature or conduct of a trade*” includes—
- (a) a major change in the type of property dealt in, or services or facilities provided, in the trade; or
- (b) a major change in customers, outlets or markets of the trade;
and this section applies even if the change is the result of a gradual process which began outside the period of three years mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above.
- (5) In relation to any relief available under section 343 to a successor company, subsection (1) above shall apply as if any loss sustained by a predecessor company had been sustained by a successor company and as if the references to a trade included references to the trade as carried on by a predecessor company.
- (6) Where relief in respect of a company’s losses has been restricted under this section then, notwithstanding section 577(3) of the Capital Allowances Act, in applying the provisions of that Act about balancing charges to the company by reference to any event after the change of ownership of the company, any allowance or deduction falling to be made in taxing the company’s trade for any chargeable period before the change of ownership shall be disregarded unless the profits or gains of that chargeable period or of any subsequent chargeable period before the change of ownership were sufficient to give effect to the allowance or deduction.
- (7) In applying subsection (6) above it shall be assumed that any profits or gains are applied in giving effect to any such allowance or deduction in preference to being set off against any loss which is not attributable to such an allowance or deduction.
- (8) Where the operation of this section depends on circumstances or events at a time after the change of ownership (but not more than three years after), an assessment to give effect to the provisions of this section shall not be out of time if made within six years from that time, or the latest of those times.
- (9) Any person in whose name any shares, stock or securities of a company are registered shall, if required by notice by an inspector given for the purposes of this section, state whether or not he is the beneficial owner of those shares or securities and, if not the beneficial owner of those shares or securities of any of them, shall furnish the name and address of the person or persons on whose behalf those shares, stock or securities are registered in his name.
#### Rules for ascertaining change in ownership of company
##### 769
- (1) For the purposes of sections 767A, 767AA, 767C, 768, 768A, 768B , 768C and 768D there is a change in the ownership of a company—
- (a) if a single person acquires more than half the ordinary share capital of the company; or
- (b) if two or more persons each acquire a holding of 5 per cent. or more of the ordinary share capital of the company, and those holdings together amount to more than half the ordinary share capital of the company; or
- (c) if two or more persons each acquire a holding of the ordinary share capital of the company, and the holdings together amount to more than half the ordinary share capital of the company, but disregarding a holding of less than 5 per cent. unless it is an addition to an existing holding and the two holdings together amount to 5 per cent. or more of the ordinary share capital of the company.
- (2) In applying subsection (1) above—
- (a) the circumstances at any two points of time with not more than three years between may be compared, and a holder at the later time may be regarded as having acquired whatever he did not hold at the earlier time, irrespective of what he has acquired or disposed of in between;
- (b) to allow for any issue of shares or other reorganisation of capital, the comparison may be made in terms of percentage holdings of the total ordinary share capital at the respective times, so that a person whose percentage holding is greater at the later time may be regarded as having acquired a percentage holding equal to the increase;
- (c) to decide for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) or (c) above if any person has acquired a holding of at least 5 per cent., or a holding which makes at least 5 per cent. when added to an existing holding, acquisitions by, and holdings of, two or more persons who are connected persons within the meaning of section 839 shall be aggregated as if they were acquisitions by, and holdings of, one and the same person;
- (d) any acquisition of shares under the will or on the intestacy of a deceased person , and any gift of shares which is unsolicited and made without regard to the provisions of sections 767A, 767AA, 768, 768A, 768B , 768C and 768D, . . . shall be left out of account.
- (2A) Where—
- (a) persons, whether company members or not, possess extraordinary rights or powers under the articles of association or under any other document regulating the company, and
- (b) because of that fact ownership of the ordinary share capital may not be an appropriate test of whether there has been a change in the ownership of the company,
then, in considering whether there has been a change in the ownership of the company for the purposes of section 767A , 767AA or 767C, holdings of all kinds of share capital, including preference shares, or of any particular category of share capital, or voting power or any other kind of special power may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital.
- (3) Where, because persons, whether company members or not, possess extraordinary rights or powers under the articles of association or under any other document regulating the company, ownership of the ordinary share capital may not be an appropriate test of whether there has been a major change in the persons for whose benefit the losses may ultimately enure, then, in considering whether there has been a change in the ownership of the company for the purposes of section 768 , 768A or 768D, holdings of all kinds of share capital, including preference shares, or of any particular category of share capital, or voting power or any other special kind of power, may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital.

- (5) A change in the ownership of a company shall be disregarded for the purposes of sections 767A, 767AA, 767C, 768, 768A, 768B , 768C and 768D if—
- (a) immediately before the change the company is the 75 per cent. subsidiary of another company, and
- (b) (although there is a change in the direct ownership of the company) that other company continues after the change to own the first-mentioned company as a 75 per cent. subsidiary.
- (6) If there is a change in the ownership of a company, including a change occurring by virtue of the application of this subsection but not a change which is to be disregarded under subsection (5) above, then—
- (a) in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above, the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) shall be taken for the purposes of this section to acquire at the time of the change any relevant assets owned by the company;
- (b) in a case falling within subsection (1)(b) above but not within subsection (1)(a) above, each of the persons mentioned in subsection (1)(b) shall be taken for the purposes of this section to acquire at the time of the change the appropriate proportion of any relevant assets owned by the company; and
- (c) in any other case, each of the persons mentioned in paragraph (c) of subsection (1) above (other than any whose holding is disregarded under that paragraph) shall be taken for the purposes of this section to acquire at the time of the change the appropriate proportion of any relevant assets owned by the company.
- (6A) In subsection (6) above—
- “*the appropriate proportion*”, in relation to one of two or more persons mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or (c) above, means a proportion corresponding to the proportion which the percentage of the ordinary share capital acquired by him bears to the percentage of that capital acquired by all those persons taken together; and
- “*relevant assets*”, in relation to a company, means—
- (a) any ordinary share capital of another company, and
- (b) any property or rights which under subsection (3) above may be taken into account instead of ordinary share capital of another company.
- (6B) Notwithstanding that at any time a company (“the subsidiary company”) is a 75 per cent. subsidiary of another company (“the parent company”) it shall not be treated at that time as such a subsidiary for the purposes of this section unless, additionally, at that time—
- (a) the parent company would be beneficially entitled to not less than 75 per cent. of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the subsidiary company; and
- (b) the parent company would be beneficially entitled to not less than 75 per cent. of any assets of the subsidiary company available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up.
- (6C) Schedule 18 shall apply for the purposes of subsection (6B) above as it applies for the purposes of section 413(7).
- (7) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) references to ownership shall be construed as references to beneficial ownership, and references to acquisition shall be construed accordingly;
- (b) *a company shall be deemed to be a* 75*per cent. subsidiary of another company if and so long as not less than three-quarters of its ordinary share capital is owned by that other company, whether directly or through another company or other companies, or partly directly and partly through another company or other companies*;
- (c) *the amount of ordinary share capital of one company owned by a second company through another company or other companies or partly directly and partly through another company or other companies, shall be determined in accordance with subsections* (5)*to* (10)*of section* 838;*and*
- (d) “*shares*” includes stock.
- (8) If any acquisition of ordinary share capital or other property or rights taken into account in determining that there has been a change of ownership of a company was made in pursuance of a contract of sale or option or other contract, or the acquisition was made by a person holding such a contract, then the time when the change in the ownership of the company took place shall be determined as if the acquisition had been made when the contract was made with the holder or when the benefit of it was assigned to him so that, in the case of a person exercising an option to purchase shares, he shall be regarded as having purchased the shares when he acquired the option.
- (9) Subsection (8) above shall not apply in relation to section 767A , 767AA or 767C.

- (1) If, in any case where a person (“the lessee”) who is a lessee of land under a lease having not more than 50 years to run (“the original lease”) is entitled in respect of the rent under the lease to a deduction by way of tax relief which is a relevant tax relief for the purposes of section 779—
- (a) the lessee assigns the original lease to another person, or surrenders it to his landlord, for a consideration which apart from this section would not be taxable otherwise than as capital in the hands of the lessee, and
- (b) there is granted or assigned to the lessee another lease (“the new lease”) of or including the whole or any part of the land which was the subject of the original lease for a term not exceeding 15 years;
then, subject to the following provisions of this section, the provisions of this Act providing for deductions or allowances by way of tax relief in respect of payments of rent shall apply in relation to the rent under the new lease, and for the purposes of the Tax Acts a proportion of the consideration received by the lessee shall be treated not as a capital receipt but in accordance with subsection (3) below.
- (2) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) if the aggregate of the rent payable under the new lease in respect of any rental period ending on a date falling before the 15th anniversary of the date on which the term of the new lease begins is greater than the aggregate of the rent payable under the new lease in respect of the period of equal duration beginning on the day following that date, then unless the term of the new lease would be treated as ending on an earlier date by virtue of paragraph (b) below, that term shall be treated as ending on that date;
- (b) if under the terms of the new lease—
- (i) the lessor of the lessee has power to determine the new lease at a time before the expiry of the term for which it was granted, or
- (ii) the lessee has power to vary his obligations under the new lease so as to reduce the rent which he would otherwise have to pay or in any other manner beneficial to him,
- (3) Subject to the following provisions of this section, the proportion of the consideration received by the lessee as mentioned in subsection (1) above, or of any instalment of that consideration, which for the purposes of the Tax Acts is to be treated not as a capital receipt but in accordance with this subsection shall be determined by the formula—
$$16-N15$where N is the term of the new lease expressed in years or, if that term is less than a year, where N is 1; and that proportion shall be treated for the purposes of the Tax Acts—$
- (a) as a receipt of a trade, profession or vocation, if the rent payable by the lessee under the new lease is allowable as a deduction in computing profits or losses of a trade, profession or vocation for the purposes of tax and if the consideration is received by the lessee in the course of that trade, profession or vocation; and
- (b) in any other case, as an amount chargeable to tax in accordance with subsection (3A).
- (3A) The amount shall be charged—
- (a) to income tax, or
- (b) to corporation tax as a profit or gain under Case VI of Schedule D.
- (3B) The income tax charged by virtue of subsection (3A)(a) above shall be charged on the full amount of the proportion of the consideration concerned arising in the year of assessment; and the person liable for any tax so charged is the lessee.

- (4) In any case where the property which is the subject of the new lease does not include the whole of the property which was the subject of the original lease, the consideration received by the lessee shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (3) above as reduced to that portion of the consideration which is reasonably attributable to such part of the property which was the subject of the original lease as consists of, or is included in, the property which is the subject of the new lease.
- (5) *Schedule* 2*shall have effect for the purposes of giving relief, on a claim being made in that behalf, from any increase in an individual’s liability to income tax which is attributable to any amount being treated, by virtue of subsection* (3)*above, as an income receipt for a single year of assessment rather than as a series of such receipts during the term of the new lease; and in the application of that Schedule by virtue of this subsection for the definitions of “chargeable sum” and “relevant period” there shall be substituted the following definitions*—
> - *“*chargeable sum*” means the amount in respect of which, by virtue of subsection* (3)*above, the claimant is chargeable to income tax for the year of assessment;*
> *“*relevant period*”, in relation to any chargeable sum, means the term of the new lease.*
- (6) Where by agreement with his landlord, the lessee varies the terms of the original lease in such a manner that, in return for such a consideration as is specified in subsection (1)(a) above, the lessee undertakes to pay, during a period ending not later than 15 years after the date on which the consideration, or if the consideration is paid in instalments, the last such instalment, is paid to the lessee, a rent greater than that payable under the original lease, he shall be treated for the purposes of this section—
- (a) as having surrendered the original lease for that consideration, and
- (b) as having been granted a new lease for a term not exceeding 15 years but otherwise on the terms of the original lease as so varied.

- (9) The preceding provisions of this section shall not apply if the lessee had, before 22nd June 1971, a right enforceable at law or in equity to the grant of the new lease, but in any case where, apart from this subsection, those provisions would apply, no part of the rent paid under the new lease shall be treated as a payment of capital, and the provisions of this Act providing for deductions or allowances by way of tax relief in respect of payments of rent shall apply accordingly.

for the reference in subsection (2) above to the amount of the capital sum there shall be substituted a reference to that amount after deducting the amount of the payment in respect of which a deduction is not allowed for that reason.
- (6) So far as in respect of a capital sum any part of a payment allowed as a deduction by way of tax relief of a kind to which this section applies is taken into account in making an assessment under subsection (1) above, that part of the payment shall be left out of account in determining whether any and if so what amount should be assessed by reference to any other capital sum; and the order in which this subsection is applied shall be the order in which the capital sums are obtained.
- (7) There shall be made all such adjustments of tax, whether by way of making assessments or by repayment of tax, as are required after the making of any such payment as is described in subsection (1) above to give effect to the charge under that subsection in respect of a sum obtained before the making of the payment.

- (ii) of another trade carried on by the person who at that time or later was carrying on the first-mentioned trade;
and when so used was owned by the person carrying on the trade in which it was being used.
- (1A) This section does not apply to a payment if or to the extent that, in the case of the lessee, it falls to be regarded in accordance with Chapter 6A of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act as a payment under a lease which is a long funding finance lease for the purposes of that Part.
- (2) Subject to the following provisions of this section, the deduction allowable in computing the profits or losses of the trade for the purposes of tax as respects any such payment shall not exceed the commercial rent of the asset for the period for which the payment was made.
- (3) If under subsection (2) above part of a payment which would otherwise be allowable as a deduction is not so allowable, and one or more subsequent payments are made by the same person under the same lease, that part of the first-mentioned payment may be carried forward and treated for the purposes of computing the profits or losses of the trade for the purposes of tax as if it were made at the time when the next of those subsequent payments was made, and so made for the period for which that subsequent payment was made.
- (4) For the purposes of subsection (2) above—
- (a) if more than one payment is made for the same period the payments shall be taken together;

- (5) A payment made for a period all of which falls more than one year after the payment is made shall be treated for the purposes of this section as made for that period of one year beginning with the date on which the payment is made, and a payment for a period part of which falls after the end of that year shall be treated for those purposes as if a corresponding part of the payment was made for that year (and no part for any later period).
- (6) For the purpose of making a comparison under subsection (2) above between a payment, or payments taken together, and the commercial rent of the asset, “*commercial rent*” shall mean the rent which might at the relevant time be expected to be paid under a lease of the asset for the remainder of the anticipated normal working life of the asset, being a rent payable at uniform intervals and at a uniform rate which would afford a reasonable return for its market value at the relevant time, having regard to the terms and conditions of the lease; and in this subsection—
- “*anticipated normal working life*” means, in the case of any asset, the period which might be expected, when the asset is first put into use, to be going to elapse before it is finally put out of use as being unfit for further use, it being assumed that the asset is going to be used in the normal manner and to the normal extent, and is going to be so used throughout that period; and
- “*the relevant time*” means the time when the lease was created under which the payment was made with which the commercial rent is to be compared.
- (7) If the asset is used at the same time partly for the purposes of the trade and partly for other purposes the commercial rent as defined in subsection (6) above shall be determined by reference to what would be paid for such a partial use of the asset.

- (5) If more than one capital sum is, or is to be regarded as, obtained by the same person in respect of the lessee’s interest in the lease which constitutes a hire-purchase agreement, then, so far as in respect of one of those capital sums any deduction is made in respect of capital expenditure in pursuance of subsection (1) above that capital expenditure shall be left out of account in applying subsections (1) and (3) above to any other such capital sum; and the order in which this subsection is applied shall be the order in which the capital sums are obtained.

#### Unilateral relief
##### 790
- (1) To the extent appearing from the following provisions of this section, relief from income tax and corporation tax in respect of income and chargeable gains shall be given in respect of tax payable under the law of any territory outside the United Kingdom by allowing that tax as a credit against income tax or corporation tax, notwithstanding that there are not for the time being in force any arrangements under section 788 providing for such relief.
- (2) Relief under subsection (1) above is referred to in this Part as “*unilateral relief*”.
- (3) Unilateral relief shall be such relief as would fall to be given under Chapter II of this Part if arrangements in relation to the territory in question containing the provisions specified in subsections (4) to (10C) below were in force by virtue of section 788, but subject to any particular provision made with respect to unilateral relief in that Chapter; and any expression in that Chapter which imports a reference to relief under arrangements for the time being having effect by virtue of that section shall be deemed to import also a reference to unilateral relief.
- (4) Credit for tax paid under the law of the territory outside the United Kingdom and computed by reference to income arising or any chargeable gain accruing in that territory shall be allowed against any United Kingdom income tax or corporation tax computed by reference to that income or gain (profits from, or remuneration for, personal or professional services performed in that territory being deemed for this purpose to be income arising in that territory).
- (5) Subsection (4) above shall have effect subject to the following modifications, that is to say—
- (a) where the territory is the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands, the limitation to income or gains arising in the territory shall not apply;
- (b) where arrangements in relation to the territory are for the time being in force by virtue of section 788, credit for tax paid under the law of the territory shall not be allowed by virtue of subsection (4) above in the case of any income or gains if any credit for that tax is allowable under those arrangements in respect of that income or those gains; and
- (c) credit shall not be allowed by virtue of subsection (4) above for overseas tax on a dividend paid by a company resident in the territory unless—
- (i) the overseas tax is directly charged on the dividend, whether by charge to tax, deduction of tax at source or otherwise, and the whole of it represents tax which neither the company nor the recipient would have borne if the dividend had not been paid; or
- (ii) the dividend is paid to a company within subsection (6) below; or
- (iii) the dividend is paid to a company to which section 802(1) applies and is a dividend of the kind described in that subsection.
- (6) Where a dividend paid by a company resident in the territory is paid to a company falling within subsection (6A) below which either directly or indirectly controls, or is a subsidiary of a company which directly or indirectly controls—
- (a) not less than 10 per cent. of the voting power in the company paying the dividend; or
- (b) less than 10 per cent. of the voting power in the company paying the dividend if—
- (i) it has been reduced below that percentage on or after 1st April 1972; or
- (ii) it has been acquired on or after that date in exchange for voting power in another company in respect of which relief under this subsection by virtue of paragraph (a) above was due prior to the exchange;
and the company receiving the dividend shows that the conditions specified in subsection (7) below are satisfied;
any tax in respect of its profits paid under the law of the territory by the company paying the dividend shall be taken into account in considering whether any, and if so what, credit is to be allowed in respect of the dividend.
- (6A) A company falls within this subsection if—
- (a) it is resident in the United Kingdom; or
- (b) it is resident outside the United Kingdom but the dividend mentioned in subsection (6) above forms part of the profits of a permanent establishment of the company’s in the United Kingdom.
- (7) The conditions referred to in subsection (6)(b) above are as follows—
- (a) that the reduction below the 10 per cent. limit (and any further reduction) or, as the case may be, the exchange (and any reduction thereafter) could not have been prevented by any reasonable endeavours on the part of the company receiving the dividend and was due to a cause or causes not reasonably foreseeable by it when control of the relevant voting power was acquired; and
- (b) no reasonable endeavours on the part of that company could have restored or, as the case may be, increased the voting power to not less than 10 per cent.
- (8) In subsection (7) above references to the company receiving the dividend include references—
- (a) to any company of which it is a subsidiary within the meaning of section 792(2); and
- (b) where prior to the reduction or exchange the voting power in question was controlled otherwise than directly by the company receiving the dividend, to each other company relevant for determining whether that voting power was controlled as required by subsection (6)(a) above.
- (9) In subsection (7) above “*the relevant voting power*” means the voting power by virtue of which relief was due under subsection (6)(a) above prior to the reduction or exchange or, where control of the whole of that voting power was not acquired at the same time, that part of the voting power of which control was last acquired.
- (10) In any case in which relief in respect of a dividend is due by virtue of subsection (6)(b) above, there shall be taken into account, as if it were tax payable under the law of the territory in which the company paying the dividend is resident, any tax that would be so taken into account under section 801 if the company paying the dividend and the company receiving it were related to each other within the meaning of section 801(5).
- (10A) In any case where—
- (a) under the law of the territory outside the United Kingdom, an amount of tax (“*the spared tax*”) would, but for a relief, have been payable by a company resident in that territory (“*company A*”) in respect of any of its profits,
- (b) company A pays a dividend out of those profits to another company resident in that territory (“*company B*”),
- (c) company B, out of profits which consist of or include the whole or part of that dividend, pays a dividend to a company resident in the United Kingdom (“*company C*”), and
- (d) the circumstances are such that, had company B been resident in the United Kingdom, it would have been entitled, under arrangements made in relation to the territory outside the United Kingdom and having effect by virtue of section 788, to a relief to which subsection (5) of that section applies in respect of the spared tax,
subsection (10B) below shall apply.
- (10B) In any case falling within subsection (10A) above, the spared tax shall be taken into account for the purposes of—
- (a) the other provisions of this section, and
- (b) subject to section 795(3), Chapter II of this Part in its application to relief under this section in relation to the dividend paid to company C,
as if it had been payable and paid; and references in this section and that Chapter to double taxation, to tax payable or chargeable, or to tax not chargeable directly or by deduction shall be construed accordingly.
- (10C) Except as provided by subsection (10B) above, in relation to any dividend paid—
- (a) to a company resident in the United Kingdom,
- (b) by a company resident in the territory outside the United Kingdom,
credit by virtue of section 801 does not fall to be given by virtue of this section in respect of tax which would have been payable under the law of that or any other territory outside the United Kingdom but for a relief (notwithstanding any arrangements made in relation to that or any other territory outside the United Kingdom which have effect by virtue of section 788 and provide for a relief to which subsection (5) of that section applies).
- (11) Where—
- (a) unilateral relief may by given in respect of any income or chargeable gain, and
- (b) it appears that the assessment to income tax or corporation tax made in respect of the income or chargeable gain is not made in respect of the full amount thereof, or is incorrect having regard to the credit, if any, which falls to be given by way of unilateral relief,
any such assessments may be made as are necessary to ensure that the total amount of the income or chargeable gain is assessed, and the proper credit, if any, is given in respect thereof, and, where the income is, or the chargeable gain is, entrusted to any person in the United Kingdom for payment, any such assessment may be made on the recipient of the income or gain, and, in the case of an assessment to corporation tax in respect of income, may be assessed under Case VI of Schedule D.
- (12) In this section and in Chapter II of this Part in its application to unilateral relief, references to tax payable or paid under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom include only references—
- (a) to taxes which are charged on income and which correspond to United Kingdom income tax, and
- (b) to taxes which are charged on income or chargeable gains and which correspond to United Kingdom corporation tax;
but for this purpose tax under the law of any such territory shall not be treated as not corresponding to income tax or corporation tax by reason only that it is payable under the law of a province, state or other part of a country, or is levied by or on behalf of a municipality or other local body.
#### Power to make regulations for carrying out section 788
##### 791
The Board may from time to time make regulations generally for carrying out the provisions of section 788 or any arrangements having effect thereunder, and may in particular by those regulations provide—
- (a) for securing that relief from taxation imposed by the laws of the territory to which any such arrangements relate does not enure for the benefit of persons not entitled to such relief; and
- (b) for authorising, in cases where tax deductible from any payment has, in order to comply with any such arrangements, not been deducted, and it is discovered that the arrangements did not apply to that payment, the recovery of the tax by assessment on the person entitled to the payment or by deduction from subsequent payments.

- (b) paragraph 4(2) of Schedule 11 to that Act (set-off of deficits in the case of insurance companies),
relates, as an amount that can in that period be set against profits of any description but can be allocated in accordance with subsection (3) above only to the profits against which it is set off in pursuance of the claim.

- (a) section 797A does not apply in the case of any company, and
- (b) any amount is carried forward to the relevant accounting period in pursuance of subsection (3A) of section 83 of the Finance Act 1996 . . . ,

*Step 1*
Take the amount of the individual's net income for the year of assessment.

If in the year of assessment the individual makes, or is treated under section 426 of ITA 2007 as making, a gift that is a qualifying donation for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 8 of that Act (gift aid) deduct the grossed up amount of the gift.
*Step 3*
If the individual is given relief in accordance with section 192 of FA 2004 (relief at source) in respect of any contribution paid in the year of assessment under a pension scheme, deduct the gross amount of the contribution.
*Step 4*
Add back any relief under section 266 of this Act given by virtue of subsection (7) of that section (payments for life insurance etc) that was deducted in calculating the individual's net income for the year of assessment.

#### Interpretation of Part VI.
##### 374A
- (1) This section applies where, in the case of any loan, interest on the loan never has been relevant loan interest or the borrower never has been a qualifying borrower.
- (2) Without prejudice to subsection (3) below, in relation to a payment of interest—
- (a) as respects which either of the conditions mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of section 374(1) is fulfilled, and
- (b) from which a deduction was made as mentioned in section 369(1),
section 369 shall have effect as if the payment of interest were a payment of relevant loan interest made by a qualifying borrower.
- (3) Nothing in subsection (2) above shall be taken as regards the borrower as entitling him to make any deduction or to retain any amount deducted and, accordingly, where any amount has been deducted, he shall be liable to make good that amount and an officer of the Board may make such assessments as may in his judgment be required for recovering that amount.
- (4) The Management Act shall apply to an assessment under subsection (3) above as if it were an assessment to income tax for the year of assessment in which the deduction was made . . . .
- (5) If the borrower fraudulently or negligently makes any false statement or representation in connection with the making of any deduction, he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding the amount deducted.

- (a) it is brought into account as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) of section 83 of the Finance Act 1989 (increases in value of non-linked assets) for that period,
- (b) it is deemed to be brought into account for that period by subsection (2B) of that section in consequence of the transfer of non-linked assets, or

- (6) The “applicable” appropriate period of account is the one which ended most recently (“the most recent appropriate period of account”).
- (7) But if the relevant increase in the case of the most recent appropriate period of account is less than the affected amount, the most recent appropriate period of account is the applicable appropriate period of account in relation to only so much of the affected amount as does not exceed that relevant increase.
- (8) In that case, the appropriate period of account which ended most recently before the most recent appropriate period of account is the applicable appropriate period of account in relation to so much of the remainder as does not exceed the relevant increase in the case of that appropriate period of account (and, where necessary, so on until the applicable appropriate period of account is established in relation to all of the affected amount or there are no more appropriate periods of account).

- (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) above “the appropriate fraction” is—
$$LABLTL$where—LABL is the amount of the liabilities transferred that are referable to the life assurance business (but is nil if it would otherwise be below nil); andTL is the whole of the liabilities transferred.$

### Equalisation reserves
##### 444BA
- (1) Subject to the following provisions of this section and to sections 444BB to 444BD, the rules in subsection (2) below shall apply in making any computation, for the purposes of Case I or V of Schedule D, of the profits or losses for any accounting period of an insurance company whose business has at any time been or included business in respect of which it was required, by virtue of equalisation reserve rules, to maintain an equalisation reserve.
- (2) Those rules are—
- (a) that amounts which, in accordance with equalisation reserve rules, are transferred into the equalisation reserve in respect of the company’s business for the accounting period in question are to be deductible;
- (b) that amounts which, in accordance with any such regulations, are transferred out of the reserve in respect of the company’s business for that period are to be treated as receipts of that business; and
- (c) that it must be assumed that all such transfers as are required by equalisation reserve rules to be made into or out of the reserve in respect of the company’s business for any period are made as required.
- (3) Where an insurance company having any business in respect of which it is required, by virtue of equalisation reserve rules, to maintain an equalisation reserve ceases to trade—
- (a) any balance which exists in the reserve at that time for the purposes of the Tax Acts shall be deemed to have been transferred out of the reserve immediately before the company ceases to trade; and
- (b) that transfer out shall be deemed to be a transfer in respect of the company’s business for the accounting period in which the company so ceases and to have been required by equalisation reserve rules.
- (4) Where—
- (a) an amount is transferred into an equalisation reserve in respect of the business of an insurance company for any accounting period,
- (b) the rule in subsection (2)(a) above would apply to the transfer of that amount but for this subsection,
- (c) that company by notice in writing to an officer of the Board makes an election in relation to that amount for the purposes of this subsection, and
- (d) the notice of the election is given not more than two years after the end of that period,
the rule mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above shall not apply to that transfer of that amount and, instead, the amount transferred (the “unrelieved transfer”) shall be carried forward for the purposes of subsection (5) below to the next accounting period and (subject to subsection (6) below) from accounting period to accounting period.
- (5) Where—
- (a) in accordance with equalisation reserve rules, a transfer is made out of an equalisation reserve in respect of an insurance company’s business for any accounting period,
- (b) the rule in subsection (2)(b) above would apply to the transfer but for this subsection, and
- (c) the accounting period is one to which any amount representing one or more unrelieved transfers has been carried forward under subsection (4) above,
that rule mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above shall not apply to that transfer except to the extent (if any) that the amount of the transfer exceeds the aggregate of the amounts representing unrelieved transfers carried forward to that period.
- (6) Where in the case of any company—
- (a) any amount representing one or more unrelieved transfers is carried forward to an accounting period in accordance with subsection (4) above, and
- (b) by virtue of subsection (5) above the rule in subsection (2)(b) above does not apply to an amount representing the whole or any part of any transfer out of an equalisation reserve in respect of the company’s business for that period,
the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) above shall not be carried forward under subsection (4) above to the next accounting period except to the extent (if any) that it exceeds the amount mentioned in paragraph (b) above.
- (7) To the extent that any actual or assumed transfer in accordance with equalisation reserve rules of any amount into an equalisation reserve is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for tax purposes—
- (a) the rule in subsection (2)(a) above shall not apply to that transfer; and
- (b) the making of that transfer shall be disregarded in determining, for the purposes of the Tax Acts, whether and to what extent there is subsequently any requirement to make a transfer into or out of the reserve in accordance with equalisation reserve rules;
and this subsection applies irrespective of whether the insurance company in question is a party to the arrangements.
- (8) For the purposes of this section the transfer of an amount into an equalisation reserve is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for tax purposes to the extent that the arrangements to which it is attributable are arrangements—
- (a) the sole or main purpose of which is, or
- (b) the sole or main benefit accruing from which might (but for subsection (7) above) be expected to be,
the reduction by virtue of this section of any liability to tax.
- (9) Where—
- (a) any transfer made into or out of an equalisation reserve maintained by an insurance company is made in accordance with equalisation reserve rules in respect of business carried on by that company over a period (“the equalisation period”), and
- (b) parts of the equalisation period are in different accounting periods,
the amount transferred shall be apportioned for the purposes of this section between the different accounting periods in the proportions that correspond to the number of days in the equalisation period that are included in each of those accounting periods.
- (10) The Treasury may by regulations provide in relation to any accounting periods ending on or after 1st April 1996 for specified transitional provisions contained in equalisation reserve rules to be disregarded for the purposes of the Tax Acts in determining how much is required, on any occasion, to be transferred into or out of any equalisation reserve in accordance with the rules.

- (2) Those cases are cases where an insurance company which, in accordance with equalisation reserve rules, is required to make transfers into or out of an equalisation reserve in respect of any business carried on by that company for any period is carrying on, for the whole or any part of that period—

only if such conditions as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Treasury are satisfied in relation to that company and in relation to transfers into or out of that reserve.

- (b) provide that, where any prescribed condition is not, or ceases to be, satisfied in relation to the company or in relation to transfers into or out of that reserve, there is to be deemed for the purposes of the Tax Acts to have been a transfer out of that reserve of an amount determined under the regulations.
- (5) Regulations under this section may—
- (a) provide for apportionments under the regulations to be made in such manner, and by reference to such factors, as may be specified or described in the regulations;
- (b) make different provision for different cases;
- (c) contain such supplementary, incidental, consequential and transitional provision as the Treasury may think fit;
- (d) make provision having retrospective effect in relation to accounting periods beginning not more than one year before the time when the regulations are made;
and the powers conferred by this section in relation to transfers into or out of any reserve shall be exercisable in relation to both actual and assumed transfers.
- (6) In this section “*double taxation relief*” means—
- (a) relief under double taxation arrangements which takes the form of a credit allowed against corporation tax, or
- (b) unilateral relief under section 790(1) which takes that form;

- (a) it is maintained, otherwise than by virtue of equalisation reserve rules, either—
- (i) by an EEA firm of the kind mentioned in paragraph 5(d) of Schedule 3 to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 which has permission under paragraph 15 of that Schedule (as a result of qualifying for authorisation under paragraph 12(1) of that Schedule) to effect or carry out contracts of insurance in the United Kingdom, or

### Chapter 5A — Special rules for long funding leases of plant or machinery: corporation tax
### Introductory
##### 502A
This Chapter has effect for the purposes of corporation tax only.
### Lessors under long funding finance leases
##### 502B
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company for any period of account in which it is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding finance lease.
- (2) The amount to be brought into account as the lessor's taxable income from the lease for the period of account is the amount of the rental earnings in respect of the lease for the period of account.
- (3) The “rental earnings” for any period is the amount which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as the gross return on investment for that period in respect of the lease where it meets the finance lease test.
- (4) If the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan in the accounts in question, so much of the rentals under the lease as fall (or would fall) to be treated as interest are to be treated for the purposes of this section as rental earnings.
##### 502C
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company which is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease.
- (2) This section has effect where a profit or loss (whether of an income or capital nature)—
- (a) arises to the company in connection with the lease, and
- (b) in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice falls to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account, but
- (c) would not, apart from this section, be brought into account in computing the profits of the company for the purposes of corporation tax.
- (3) The profit or loss is to be treated—
- (a) in the case of a profit, as income of the company attributable to the lease,
- (b) in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the company in connection with the lease.
- (4) Any reference in this section to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account is a reference to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes—
- (a) in the company's profit and loss account or income statement,
- (b) in the company's statement of recognised gains and losses or statement of changes in equity, or
- (c) in any other statement of items brought into account in computing the company's profits or losses for that period.
##### 502D
- (1) This section applies for determining the liability to corporation tax of a company which is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease.
- (2) Where—
- (a) the lease terminates, and
- (b) a sum calculated by reference to the termination value is paid to the lessee,
no deduction in respect of the sum paid to the lessee is allowed in computing the profits of the company.
- (3) This section does not prevent a deduction in respect of a sum to the extent that the sum is brought into account in determining the company's rental earnings.
### Lessors under long funding operating leases
##### 502E
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company for any period of account—
- (a) for the whole of which, or
- (b) for any part of which,
the company is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease.
- (2) A deduction is allowed in computing the profits of the company for the period of account.
- (3) The amount of the deduction for any period of account is to be determined as follows.
- (4) First, find the “*relevant value*” for the purposes of subsection (6)(a) below, which is—
- (a) if the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, cost;
- (b) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, market value;
- (c) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the recognised value;
- (d) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the lower of cost and market value;
- (e) if the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, but—
- (i) the plant or machinery is brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1st April 2006, and
- (ii) that qualifying activity is the leasing of the plant or machinery under the long funding operating lease,
the relevant value is the lower of first use market value and first use amortised value.
- (5) In subsection (4) above—
- “*cost*” means the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery;
- “*first use amortised value*” means the value that the plant or machinery would have at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity, on the assumption that—the cost of acquiring the plant or machinery had been written off on a straight line basis over the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery, andany further capital expenditure incurred had been written off on a straight line basis over so much of the remaining economic life of the plant or machinery as remains at the time when the expenditure is incurred;
- “*first use market value*” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity;
- “*market value*” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the long funding operating lease;

subtract
- (b) the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is (or, in a case falling within subsection (4)(e) above, would have been) expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery,
to find the expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease.
- (7) Apportion the amount of that expected gross reduction in value to each period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.
- (8) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each period of account.

- (b) the company incurs capital expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery, and
- (c) that capital expenditure (the “additional expenditure”) is not reflected in the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease.
- (2) In a case falling within section 502E(4)(e) above, subsection (1)(c) above has effect as if the reference to the commencement of the term of the lease were a reference to the time when the plant or machinery is first brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of the qualifying activity.
- (3) Where this section applies, an additional deduction is allowed in computing the profits of the company for each post-expenditure period of account in which the company is the lessor of the plant or machinery under the lease.
- (4) The amount of the deduction for any such period of account is to be determined as follows.
- (5) Find ARV, CRV, PRV, and TRV where—
- “ARV” is the amount which, at the time when the additional expenditure is incurred, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;
- “CRV” is the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;
- “PRV” is the sum of any amounts that fell to be taken into account as RRV (see subsection (6)) in the application of this section in relation to any previous additional expenditure incurred by the company in relation to the leased plant or machinery;
- “TRV” is the total of CRV and PRV.
- (6) Find RRV, where—
- (a) if ARV exceeds TRV, RRV is the portion of the excess that is a result of the additional expenditure, but
- (b) if ARV does not exceed TRV, RRV is nil.
- (7) From—
- (a) the amount of the additional expenditure,
subtract
- (b) RRV,
to find the expected partial reduction in value over the remainder of the term of the lease.
- (8) Apportion the amount of that expected partial reduction in value to each post-expenditure period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.
- (9) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each post-expenditure period of account.
- (10) The amount of the additional deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.
- (11) In this section “*post-expenditure period of account*” means any period of account ending after the incurring of the additional expenditure.
##### 502G
- (1) This section applies for determining the liability to corporation tax of a company which is the lessor immediately before the termination of a long funding operating lease.

- (3) Step 2 is to find—
- (a) the relevant value for the purposes of section 502E(6)(a) (RV);
- (b) the total of the deductions allowable under section 502E for periods of account for the whole or part of which the company was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD1);
- (c) the amount, if any, (ERV) by which RV exceeds TD1.
- (4) Step 3 is to find—
- (a) the total of any amounts of capital expenditure incurred by the company which constitute additional expenditure for the purposes of section 502F in the case of the lease (TAE);
- (b) the total of any deductions allowable under section 502F for periods of account for the whole or part of which the company was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD2);
- (c) the amount, if any, (EAE) by which TAE exceeds TD2.
- (5) Step 4 is to find the total of ERV and EAE (T).
- (6) If (TA – LP) exceeds T, treat a profit of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the company in the period of account in which the lease terminates.
- (7) If T exceeds (TA – LP), treat a loss of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the company in that period of account.
- (8) A profit or loss treated as arising to the company under subsection (6) or (7) above is to be treated—
- (a) in the case of a profit, as income of the company attributable to the lease,
- (b) in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the company in connection with the lease.

### Lessees under long funding operating leases
##### 502K
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company for any period of account in which it is the lessee of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease.
- (2) The deductions that may be allowed in computing the profits of the company for the period of account are to be reduced in accordance with the following provisions of this section.
- (3) The amount of the reduction for any period of account is to be determined as follows.
- (4) First, find the “*relevant value*” for the purposes of subsection (6)(a) below, which is—
- (a) the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease, unless paragraph (b) below applies;
- (b) if the lessee—
- (i) has the use of the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, but
- (ii) brings the plant or machinery into use for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1st April 2006,
the lower of first use market value and first use amortised market value.
- (5) In subsection (4) above—
- “*first use amortised market value*” means the value that the plant or machinery would have—at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity, buton the assumption that the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease had been written off on a straight line basis over the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery;
- “*first use market value*” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity.
- (6) From—
- (a) the relevant value determined in accordance with subsection (4) above,
subtract
- (b) the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is (or, in a case falling within subsection (4)(b) above, would have been) expected to be the market value of the plant or machinery at the end of the term of the lease,
to find the expected gross reduction over the term of the lease.
- (7) Apportion the amount of that expected gross reduction to each period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.
- (8) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each period of account.
- (9) The amount of the reduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.
### Interpretation of Chapter
##### 502L
- (1) This section has effect for the interpretation of this Chapter.
- (2) In this Chapter—
- “*qualifying activity*” has the same meaning as in Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act;
- “*residual value*”, in relation to any plant or machinery leased under a long funding operating lease, means—the estimated market value of the plant or machinery on a disposal at the end of the term of the lease,lessthe estimated costs of that disposal.
- (3) Any reference in this Chapter to a sum being written off on a straight line basis over a period of time (the “writing-off period”) is a reference to—
- (a) the sum being apportioned between each of the periods of account in which any part of the writing-off period falls,
- (b) that apportionment being made on a time basis, according to the proportion of the writing-off period that falls in each of the periods of account, and
- (c) the sum being written off accordingly.
- (4) Chapter 6A of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases) applies in relation to this Chapter as it applies in relation to that Part.

- (c) section 432C applies for determining the extent to which the relevant brought into account amount is referable to life assurance business or to gross roll-up business, and
- (d) the line 51 reduction condition is met (see subsection (3)).
- (2) An amount is a relevant brought into account amount for a period of account if—
- (a) it is brought into account as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) of section 83 of the Finance Act 1989 (increases in value of non-linked assets) for that period,
- (b) it is deemed to be brought into account for that period by subsection (2B) of that section in consequence of the transfer of non-linked assets, or
- (c) it is taken into account under subsection (2) of that section for that period by virtue of section 444AB as being the relevant amount in relation to non-linked assets.

- (b) the amount so shown for the period of account immediately before it;
and the amount of the difference is “the relevant reduction”.
- (4) Section 432C applies in relation to so much of the relevant brought into account amount as does not exceed the relevant reduction (“the affected amount”) as if it were brought into account as an increase in the value of assets in the case of the relevant business for the applicable appropriate period of account of the company.

- (b) the amount so shown for the period of account immediately before it;
and the amount of the difference is “the relevant increase.”
- (6) The “applicable” appropriate period of account is the one which ended most recently (“the most recent appropriate period of account”).
- (7) But if the relevant increase in the case of the most recent appropriate period of account is less than the affected amount, the most recent appropriate period of account is the applicable appropriate period of account in relation to only so much of the affected amount as does not exceed that relevant increase.
- (8) In that case, the appropriate period of account which ended most recently before the most recent appropriate period of account is the applicable appropriate period of account in relation to so much of the remainder as does not exceed the relevant increase in the case of that appropriate period of account (and, where necessary, so on until the applicable appropriate period of account is established in relation to all of the affected amount or there are no more appropriate periods of account).
- (9) If the current period of account is not the first in relation to which this section has applied in the case of the business concerned, the amount of the relevant increase in the case of any appropriate period of account (“*the period in question*”) is to be treated as reduced by the relevant aggregate.
- (10) The “relevant aggregate” is the aggregate of so much of the affected amount for any period or periods of account earlier than the current period of account as was an amount to which section 432C applied as if it were brought into account as mentioned in subsection (4) for the period in question.

- (6) Where—
- (a) there is an amount shown in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the periodical return of the transferee for the first post-transfer period of account, and

the relevant amount is to be brought into account by the transferee as mentioned in section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 as a decrease in the value of non-linked assets for the affected period of account.
- (7) For this purpose “the relevant amount” is the amount by which—
- (a) the amount shown in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the periodical return of the transferee for the affected period of account, is less than
- (b) the total chargeable excess amount less any amount brought into account by the transferee as mentioned in section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 as a decrease in the value of non-linked assets for any earlier period of account by virtue of the operation of this section in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund.
- (8) In subsections (6) and (7) “*the total chargeable excess amount*” means the aggregate of—
- (a) the chargeable excess, and
- (b) any amount which is the chargeable excess in relation to any other transfer of business to the transferee's non-profit fund.
- (9) In this section “*the relevant period of account*” means—

- (2) Those rules are—
- (a) that amounts which, in accordance with equalisation reserve rules, are transferred into the equalisation reserve in respect of the company’s business for the accounting period in question are to be deductible;
- (b) that amounts which, in accordance with any such regulations, are transferred out of the reserve in respect of the company’s business for that period are to be treated as receipts of that business; and

- (3) Where an insurance company having any business in respect of which it is required, by virtue of equalisation reserve rules, to maintain an equalisation reserve ceases to trade—
- (a) any balance which exists in the reserve at that time for the purposes of the Tax Acts shall be deemed to have been transferred out of the reserve immediately before the company ceases to trade; and
- (b) that transfer out shall be deemed to be a transfer in respect of the company’s business for the accounting period in which the company so ceases and to have been required by equalisation reserve rules.
- (4) Where—
- (a) an amount is transferred into an equalisation reserve in respect of the business of an insurance company for any accounting period,
- (b) the rule in subsection (2)(a) above would apply to the transfer of that amount but for this subsection,
- (c) that company by notice in writing to an officer of the Board makes an election in relation to that amount for the purposes of this subsection, and
- (d) the notice of the election is given not more than two years after the end of that period,
the rule mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above shall not apply to that transfer of that amount and, instead, the amount transferred (the “unrelieved transfer”) shall be carried forward for the purposes of subsection (5) below to the next accounting period and (subject to subsection (6) below) from accounting period to accounting period.
- (5) Where—
- (a) in accordance with equalisation reserve rules, a transfer is made out of an equalisation reserve in respect of an insurance company’s business for any accounting period,
- (b) the rule in subsection (2)(b) above would apply to the transfer but for this subsection, and
- (c) the accounting period is one to which any amount representing one or more unrelieved transfers has been carried forward under subsection (4) above,
that rule mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above shall not apply to that transfer except to the extent (if any) that the amount of the transfer exceeds the aggregate of the amounts representing unrelieved transfers carried forward to that period.

the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) above shall not be carried forward under subsection (4) above to the next accounting period except to the extent (if any) that it exceeds the amount mentioned in paragraph (b) above.
- (7) To the extent that any actual or assumed transfer in accordance with equalisation reserve rules of any amount into an equalisation reserve is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for tax purposes—
- (a) the rule in subsection (2)(a) above shall not apply to that transfer; and
- (b) the making of that transfer shall be disregarded in determining, for the purposes of the Tax Acts, whether and to what extent there is subsequently any requirement to make a transfer into or out of the reserve in accordance with equalisation reserve rules;
and this subsection applies irrespective of whether the insurance company in question is a party to the arrangements.
- (8) For the purposes of this section the transfer of an amount into an equalisation reserve is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for tax purposes to the extent that the arrangements to which it is attributable are arrangements—
- (a) the sole or main purpose of which is, or
- (b) the sole or main benefit accruing from which might (but for subsection (7) above) be expected to be,
the reduction by virtue of this section of any liability to tax.
- (9) Where—
- (a) any transfer made into or out of an equalisation reserve maintained by an insurance company is made in accordance with equalisation reserve rules in respect of business carried on by that company over a period (“the equalisation period”), and
- (b) parts of the equalisation period are in different accounting periods,

- (2) Those cases are cases where an insurance company which, in accordance with equalisation reserve rules, is required to make transfers into or out of an equalisation reserve in respect of any business carried on by that company for any period is carrying on, for the whole or any part of that period—

### Chapter 5A — Special rules for long funding leases of plant or machinery: corporation tax
### Introductory
##### 502A
This Chapter has effect for the purposes of corporation tax only.
### Lessors under long funding finance leases
##### 502B
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company for any period of account in which it is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding finance lease.
- (2) The amount to be brought into account as the lessor's taxable income from the lease for the period of account is the amount of the rental earnings in respect of the lease for the period of account.
- (3) The “rental earnings” for any period is the amount which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as the gross return on investment for that period in respect of the lease where it meets the finance lease test.
- (4) If the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan in the accounts in question, so much of the rentals under the lease as fall (or would fall) to be treated as interest are to be treated for the purposes of this section as rental earnings.
##### 502C
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company which is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease.
- (2) This section has effect where a profit or loss (whether of an income or capital nature)—
- (a) arises to the company in connection with the lease, and
- (b) in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice falls to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account, but
- (c) would not, apart from this section, be brought into account in computing the profits of the company for the purposes of corporation tax.
- (3) The profit or loss is to be treated—
- (a) in the case of a profit, as income of the company attributable to the lease,
- (b) in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the company in connection with the lease.
- (4) Any reference in this section to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account is a reference to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes—
- (a) in the company's profit and loss account or income statement,
- (b) in the company's statement of recognised gains and losses or statement of changes in equity, or
- (c) in any other statement of items brought into account in computing the company's profits or losses for that period.
##### 502D
- (1) This section applies for determining the liability to corporation tax of a company which is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease.
- (2) Where—
- (a) the lease terminates, and
- (b) a sum calculated by reference to the termination value is paid to the lessee,
no deduction in respect of the sum paid to the lessee is allowed in computing the profits of the company.
- (3) This section does not prevent a deduction in respect of a sum to the extent that the sum is brought into account in determining the company's rental earnings.
### Lessors under long funding operating leases
##### 502E
- (1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company for any period of account—
- (a) for the whole of which, or
- (b) for any part of which,
the company is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease.
- (2) A deduction is allowed in computing the profits of the company for the period of account.
- (3) The amount of the deduction for any period of account is to be determined as follows.
- (4) First, find the “*relevant value*” for the purposes of subsection (6)(a) below, which is—
- (a) if the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, cost;
- (b) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, market value;
- (c) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the recognised value;
- (d) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the lower of cost and market value;
- (e) if the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, but—
- (i) the plant or machinery is brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1st April 2006, and
- (ii) that qualifying activity is the leasing of the plant or machinery under the long funding operating lease,
the relevant value is the lower of first use market value and first use amortised value.
- (5) In subsection (4) above—
- “*cost*” means the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery;
- “*first use amortised value*” means the value that the plant or machinery would have at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity, on the assumption that—the cost of acquiring the plant or machinery had been written off on a straight line basis over the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery, andany further capital expenditure incurred had been written off on a straight line basis over so much of the remaining economic life of the plant or machinery as remains at the time when the expenditure is incurred;
- “*first use market value*” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity;
- “*market value*” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the long funding operating lease;
- “*recognised value*” means the value at which the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other financial records of the lessor at the commencement of the long funding operating lease.
- (6) From—
- (a) the relevant value determined in accordance with subsection (4) above,
subtract
- (b) the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is (or, in a case falling within subsection (4)(e) above, would have been) expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery,
to find the expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease.
- (7) Apportion the amount of that expected gross reduction in value to each period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.
- (8) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each period of account.
- (9) The amount of the deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.
##### 502F
- (1) This section applies if in any period of account—
- (a) a company is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease,
- (b) the company incurs capital expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery, and
- (c) that capital expenditure (the “additional expenditure”) is not reflected in the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease.
- (2) In a case falling within section 502E(4)(e) above, subsection (1)(c) above has effect as if the reference to the commencement of the term of the lease were a reference to the time when the plant or machinery is first brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of the qualifying activity.
- (3) Where this section applies, an additional deduction is allowed in computing the profits of the company for each post-expenditure period of account in which the company is the lessor of the plant or machinery under the lease.
- (4) The amount of the deduction for any such period of account is to be determined as follows.
- (5) Find ARV, CRV, PRV, and TRV where—
- “ARV” is the amount which, at the time when the additional expenditure is incurred, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;
- “CRV” is the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;
- “PRV” is the sum of any amounts that fell to be taken into account as RRV (see subsection (6)) in the application of this section in relation to any previous additional expenditure incurred by the company in relation to the leased plant or machinery;
- “TRV” is the total of CRV and PRV.
- (6) Find RRV, where—
- (a) if ARV exceeds TRV, RRV is the portion of the excess that is a result of the additional expenditure, but
- (b) if ARV does not exceed TRV, RRV is nil.
- (7) From—
- (a) the amount of the additional expenditure,
subtract
- (b) RRV,
to find the expected partial reduction in value over the remainder of the term of the lease.
- (8) Apportion the amount of that expected partial reduction in value to each post-expenditure period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.
- (9) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each post-expenditure period of account.
- (10) The amount of the additional deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.
- (11) In this section “*post-expenditure period of account*” means any period of account ending after the incurring of the additional expenditure.
##### 502G
- (1) This section applies for determining the liability to corporation tax of a company which is the lessor immediately before the termination of a long funding operating lease.
- (2) Step 1 is to find—
- (a) the termination amount (TA);
- (b) the total of any sums paid to the lessee that are calculated by reference to the termination value (LP).
- (3) Step 2 is to find—
- (a) the relevant value for the purposes of section 502E(6)(a) (RV);
- (b) the total of the deductions allowable under section 502E for periods of account for the whole or part of which the company was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD1);
- (c) the amount, if any, (ERV) by which RV exceeds TD1.
- (4) Step 3 is to find—
- (a) the total of any amounts of capital expenditure incurred by the company which constitute additional expenditure for the purposes of section 502F in the case of the lease (TAE);
- (b) the total of any deductions allowable under section 502F for periods of account for the whole or part of which the company was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD2);
- (c) the amount, if any, (EAE) by which TAE exceeds TD2.
- (5) Step 4 is to find the total of ERV and EAE (T).
- (6) If (TA – LP) exceeds T, treat a profit of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the company in the period of account in which the lease terminates.
- (7) If T exceeds (TA – LP), treat a loss of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the company in that period of account.
- (8) A profit or loss treated as arising to the company under subsection (6) or (7) above is to be treated—
- (a) in the case of a profit, as income of the company attributable to the lease,
- (b) in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the company in connection with the lease.
- (9) In computing the profits of the company, no deduction is allowed in respect of any sums paid to the lessee that are calculated by reference to the termination value.

In determining whether this condition is satisfied, disregard any terms of the policy which exclude from benefit the death of a person in specified circumstances, if the exclusion applies in relation to death in those circumstances in the case of each of the individuals insured under the policy.
- (3) Condition 2 is that under the terms of the policy—
- (a) the same method is to be used for calculating the sums or other benefits of a capital nature payable or arising on each death, and

In this subsection—

- (b) the security for that separate debt were the appropriate share of the security for the actual debt or debts (so far as consisting of the rights, or a share in the rights, conferred by the policy or contract);

- (6) Where, immediately before the happening of a chargeable event, the rights conferred by the policy or contract in question are, or a share in those rights is, held on non-charitable trusts created by two or more persons, this section shall have effect in relation to that chargeable event as if—

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

### Foreign dividends: onshore pooling and utilisation of eligible unrelieved foreign tax
##### 806A
- (1) This section applies where, in any accounting period of a company resident in the United Kingdom, an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax arises in respect of a dividend falling within subsection (2) below paid to the company.
- (2) The dividends that fall within this subsection are any dividends chargeable under Case V of Schedule D, other than—
- (a) any dividend which is trading income for the purposes of section 393;
- (b) any dividend which, in the circumstances described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (8) of section 393, would by virtue of that subsection fall to be treated as trading income for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section;
- (c) in a case where section 801A applies, the dividend mentioned in subsection (1)(b) of that section;
- (d) in a case where section 803 applies, the dividend mentioned in subsection (1)(b) of that section;
- (e) any dividend the amount of which is, under section 811, treated as reduced.
- (3) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) the cases where an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax arises in respect of a dividend falling within subsection (2) above are the cases set out in subsections (4) and (5) below; and
- (b) the amounts of eligible unrelieved foreign tax which arise in any such case are those determined in accordance with section 806B.
- (4) Case A is 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 the dividend,
exceeds
- (b) the amount of the credit for foreign tax which under the arrangements is allowed against corporation tax in respect of the dividend.
- (5) Case B is where the amount of tax which, by virtue of any provision of any arrangements, falls to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1) in the case of the dividend (whether or not by virtue of section 801(2) or (3)) is less than it would be apart from the mixer cap.
But if that is so in any case by reason only of the mixer cap restricting the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) of section 801 in the case of a dividend paid by a company resident in the United Kingdom, the case does not fall within Case B.
- (6) In determining whether the circumstances are as set out in subsection (4) or (5) above, sections 806C and 806D shall be disregarded.
##### 806B
- (1) This section has effect for determining the amounts of eligible unrelieved foreign tax which arise in the cases set out in section 806A(4) and (5).
- (2) In Case A, the difference between—
- (a) the amount of the credit allowed as mentioned in section 806A(4)(b), and
- (b) the greater amount of the credit that would have been so allowed if, for the purposes of subsection (2) of section 797, the rate of corporation tax payable as mentioned in that subsection were the upper percentage,
shall be an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax.
- (3) In Case B, the amount (if any) by which—
- (a) the aggregate of the upper rate amounts falling to be brought into account for the purposes of this paragraph by virtue of subsection (4) or (5) below, exceeds
- (b) the amount of tax to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1) in the case of the Case V dividend, before any increase under section 801(4B),
shall be an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax.
- (4) In the case of the Case V dividend (but not any lower level dividend), the upper rate amount to be brought into account for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) above—
- (a) in a case where the mixer cap does not restrict the amount of tax to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1) (before any increase under section 801(4B)) in the case of that dividend, is that amount of tax; or
- (b) in a case where the mixer cap restricts the amount of tax to be so taken into account in the case of that dividend, is the greater amount that would have been so taken into account if, in the application of the formula in section 799(1A) in the case of that dividend (but not any lower level dividend) M% had, in relation to—
- (i) so much of D as does not represent any lower level dividend, and
- (ii) so much of U as is not underlying tax attributable to any lower level dividend,
been the upper percentage.
- (5) In the case of any dividend (the “*relevant dividend*”) received as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) of section 801 which is a lower level dividend in relation to the Case V dividend, the upper rate amount to be brought into account for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) above—
- (a) in a case where the mixer cap does not restrict the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, of section 801 in the case of the relevant dividend, is the appropriate portion of that amount of underlying tax;
- (b) in a case where—
- (i) the relevant dividend was paid by a company resident in the United Kingdom, and
- (ii) the mixer cap restricts the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, of section 801 in the case of that dividend,
is the appropriate portion of that restricted amount of underlying tax; or
- (c) in a case where—
- (i) the relevant dividend was paid by a company resident outside the United Kingdom, and
- (ii) the mixer cap restricts the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, of section 801 in the case of that dividend,
is the appropriate portion of the greater amount of tax that would have been so treated if, in the application of the formula in section 799(1A) in the case of that dividend (but not any other dividend) M% had, in relation to so much of D as does not represent any lower level dividend, and so much of U as is not underlying tax attributable to any lower level dividend, been the upper percentage.
- (6) For the purposes of subsection (5) above, the “*appropriate portion*” of any amount there mentioned in the case of a dividend is found by multiplying that amount by the product of the reducing fractions for each of the higher level dividends.
- (7) For the purposes of subsection (6) above, the “*reducing fraction*” for any dividend is the fraction—
- (a) whose numerator is the amount of the dividend; and
- (b) whose denominator is the amount of the relevant profits (within the meaning of section 799(1)) out of which the dividend is paid.
- (8) Any reference in this section to any tax being restricted by the mixer cap in the case of any dividend is a reference to that tax being so restricted otherwise than by virtue only of the application of the mixer cap in the case of one or more lower level dividends.
- (9) For the purpose of determining the amount described in subsection (2)(b), (4)(b) or (5)(c) above, sections 806C and 806D shall be disregarded.

- (b) for the purposes of section 752(3) above the percentage of the issued ordinary shares of the company which the relevant interest represents is the aggregate of the percentages resulting from those separate applications.
- (4) Where, for the purposes of subsection (3) of section 752, the percentage of the issued ordinary shares of the controlled foreign company which a person directly or indirectly holds varies during the relevant accounting period, he shall be treated for the purposes of that subsection as holding throughout that period that percentage of the issued ordinary shares of the company which is equal to the sum of the relevant percentages for each holding period in the relevant accounting period.
- (5) For the purposes of subsection (4) above—
- “holding period", in the case of any person, means a part of the relevant accounting period during which the percentage of the issued ordinary shares of the controlled foreign company which the person holds (whether directly or indirectly) remains the same;

- (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).

### Foreign dividends: onshore pooling and utilisation of eligible unrelieved foreign tax
##### 806A
- (1) This section applies where, in any accounting period of a company resident in the United Kingdom, an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax arises in respect of a dividend falling within subsection (2) below paid to the company.
- (2) The dividends that fall within this subsection are any dividends chargeable under Case V of Schedule D, other than—
- (a) any dividend which is trading income for the purposes of section 393;
- (b) any dividend which, in the circumstances described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (8) of section 393, would by virtue of that subsection fall to be treated as trading income for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section;
- (c) in a case where section 801A applies, the dividend mentioned in subsection (1)(b) of that section;
- (d) in a case where section 803 applies, the dividend mentioned in subsection (1)(b) of that section;
- (e) any dividend the amount of which is, under section 811, treated as reduced.
- (3) For the purposes of this section—
- (a) the cases where an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax arises in respect of a dividend falling within subsection (2) above are the cases set out in subsections (4) and (5) below; and
- (b) the amounts of eligible unrelieved foreign tax which arise in any such case are those determined in accordance with section 806B.
- (4) Case A is 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 the dividend,
exceeds
- (b) the amount of the credit for foreign tax which under the arrangements is allowed against corporation tax in respect of the dividend.
- (5) Case B is where the amount of tax which, by virtue of any provision of any arrangements, falls to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1) in the case of the dividend (whether or not by virtue of section 801(2) or (3)) is less than it would be apart from the mixer cap.
But if that is so in any case by reason only of the mixer cap restricting the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) of section 801 in the case of a dividend paid by a company resident in the United Kingdom, the case does not fall within Case B.
- (6) In determining whether the circumstances are as set out in subsection (4) or (5) above, sections 806C and 806D shall be disregarded.
##### 806B
- (1) This section has effect for determining the amounts of eligible unrelieved foreign tax which arise in the cases set out in section 806A(4) and (5).
- (2) In Case A, the difference between—
- (a) the amount of the credit allowed as mentioned in section 806A(4)(b), and
- (b) the greater amount of the credit that would have been so allowed if, for the purposes of subsection (2) of section 797, the rate of corporation tax payable as mentioned in that subsection were the upper percentage,
shall be an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax.
- (3) In Case B, the amount (if any) by which—
- (a) the aggregate of the upper rate amounts falling to be brought into account for the purposes of this paragraph by virtue of subsection (4) or (5) below, exceeds
- (b) the amount of tax to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1) in the case of the Case V dividend, before any increase under section 801(4B),
shall be an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax.
- (4) In the case of the Case V dividend (but not any lower level dividend), the upper rate amount to be brought into account for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) above—
- (a) in a case where the mixer cap does not restrict the amount of tax to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1) (before any increase under section 801(4B)) in the case of that dividend, is that amount of tax; or
- (b) in a case where the mixer cap restricts the amount of tax to be so taken into account in the case of that dividend, is the greater amount that would have been so taken into account if, in the application of the formula in section 799(1A) in the case of that dividend (but not any lower level dividend) M% had, in relation to—
- (i) so much of D as does not represent any lower level dividend, and
- (ii) so much of U as is not underlying tax attributable to any lower level dividend,
been the upper percentage.
- (5) In the case of any dividend (the “*relevant dividend*”) received as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) of section 801 which is a lower level dividend in relation to the Case V dividend, the upper rate amount to be brought into account for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) above—
- (a) in a case where the mixer cap does not restrict the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, of section 801 in the case of the relevant dividend, is the appropriate portion of that amount of underlying tax;
- (b) in a case where—
- (i) the relevant dividend was paid by a company resident in the United Kingdom, and
- (ii) the mixer cap restricts the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, of section 801 in the case of that dividend,
is the appropriate portion of that restricted amount of underlying tax; or
- (c) in a case where—
- (i) the relevant dividend was paid by a company resident outside the United Kingdom, and
- (ii) the mixer cap restricts the amount of underlying tax that is treated as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), as the case may be, of section 801 in the case of that dividend,
is the appropriate portion of the greater amount of tax that would have been so treated if, in the application of the formula in section 799(1A) in the case of that dividend (but not any other dividend) M% had, in relation to so much of D as does not represent any lower level dividend, and so much of U as is not underlying tax attributable to any lower level dividend, been the upper percentage.
- (6) For the purposes of subsection (5) above, the “*appropriate portion*” of any amount there mentioned in the case of a dividend is found by multiplying that amount by the product of the reducing fractions for each of the higher level dividends.
- (7) For the purposes of subsection (6) above, the “*reducing fraction*” for any dividend is the fraction—
- (a) whose numerator is the amount of the dividend; and
- (b) whose denominator is the amount of the relevant profits (within the meaning of section 799(1)) out of which the dividend is paid.
- (8) Any reference in this section to any tax being restricted by the mixer cap in the case of any dividend is a reference to that tax being so restricted otherwise than by virtue only of the application of the mixer cap in the case of one or more lower level dividends.
- (9) For the purpose of determining the amount described in subsection (2)(b), (4)(b) or (5)(c) above, sections 806C and 806D shall be disregarded.
- (10) In this section—
- “*the Case V dividend*” means the dividend mentioned in section 806A(1);
- “*higher level dividend*”, in relation to another dividend, means any dividend—by which that other dividend is to any extent represented; andwhich either is the Case V dividend or is to any extent represented by the Case V dividend;
- “*lower level dividend*”, in relation to another dividend, means any dividend which—is received as mentioned in section 801(2) or (3); andis to any extent represented by that other dividend;
- “*the relevant tax*” means—in the case of the Case V dividend, the foreign tax to be taken into account as mentioned in section 799(1); andin the case of any other dividend, the amount of underlying tax to be treated as mentioned in section 801(2) or (3) in the case of the dividend.

- (b) so much of any dividend paid by any company as represents an ADP dividend paid by another company which is a controlled foreign company;
- (c) a dividend in respect of which an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax arises.

- (c) the underlying tax in relation to the related qualifying foreign dividends that arise to the company in an accounting period shall be aggregated;
- (d) so much of the foreign tax paid in respect of the qualifying foreign dividends that arise to the company in an accounting period as is not underlying tax shall be aggregated.
- (4) Credit relief under this Part shall be given as if—
- (a) the related qualifying foreign dividends aggregated under paragraph (a) of subsection (3) above in the case of any accounting period instead together constituted a single related qualifying foreign dividend arising in that accounting period (“*the single related dividend*” arising in that accounting period);
- (b) the unrelated qualifying foreign dividends aggregated under paragraph (b) of that subsection in the case of any accounting period instead together constituted a single unrelated qualifying foreign dividend arising in that accounting period (“*the single unrelated dividend*” arising in that accounting period);
- (c) the underlying tax aggregated under paragraph (c) of that subsection for any accounting period were instead underlying tax in relation to the single related dividend arising in that accounting period (the “aggregated underlying tax" in respect of the single related dividend);
- (d) the tax aggregated under paragraph (d) of that subsection for any accounting period were instead foreign tax (other than underlying tax) paid in respect of, and computed by reference to,—
- (i) the single related dividend arising in that accounting period,
- (ii) the single unrelated dividend so arising, or
- (iii) partly the one dividend and partly the other,
(that aggregated tax being referred to as the “*aggregated withholding tax*”).
- (5) For the purposes of this section, a dividend paid by a controlled foreign company is an “*ADP dividend*” if it is a dividend by virtue of which (whether in whole or in part and whether taken alone or with one or more other dividends) no apportionment under section 747(3) falls to be made as regards an accounting period of the controlled foreign company in a case where such an apportionment would fall to be made apart from section 748(1)(a).

that tax is “eligible underlying tax" to the extent that it consists of or represents underlying tax.
- (2) To the extent that any eligible unrelieved foreign tax is not eligible underlying tax it is for the purposes of this section “*eligible withholding tax*”.
- (3) For the purposes of giving credit relief under this Part to a company resident in the United Kingdom—
