Limit on amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief

Limit on reliefs in any tax year not to exceed cap for tax year

103C
  • (1) This section applies if an individual carries on one or more trades—
  • (a) as a non-active partner in a firm during a tax year, or
  • (b) as a limited partner in a firm at a time in that tax year,

and the individual makes a loss in any of those trades (an “affected loss”) in that tax year.

  • (2) There is a restriction on the amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief which (after applying the restrictions under the other provisions of this Chapter) may be given to the individual for any affected loss (but see subsections (6) and (7)).
  • (3) The restriction is that the total amount of the sideways relief and capital gains relief given to the individual for all the affected losses must not exceed the cap for that tax year.
  • (4) The cap for any tax year is £25,000.
  • (5) The Treasury may by order amend the sum for the time being specified in subsection (4).
  • (6) The restriction under this section does not apply to so much of any affected loss as derives from qualifying film expenditure (see section 103D).
  • (7) The restriction under this section does not affect the giving of sideways relief for a loss made in a trade against the profits of that trade.
  • (8) In this section “ trade ” does not include a trade which consists of the underwriting business of a member of Lloyd's (within the meaning of section 184 of FA 1993).

Meaning of “qualifying film expenditure”

Exclusion of amounts in calculating contribution to the firm or LLP

113A
  • (1) An amount which an individual contributes to a firm as capital is to be excluded in calculating the individual's contribution to the firm for the purposes of section 104 or 110 if the contribution was made for a prohibited purpose (but see subsection (4)).
  • (2) If—
  • (a) an individual carries on a trade as a member of an LLP at a time in a tax year,
  • (b) the individual does not devote a significant amount of time to the trade in the relevant period for that year, and
  • (c) the individual contributes an amount to the LLP as capital at any time in that year,

that amount is to be excluded in calculating the individual's contribution to the LLP for the purposes of section 107 if the contribution was made for a prohibited purpose (but see subsection (4)).

  • (3) For the purposes of this section a contribution is made for a prohibited purpose if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of making the contribution is the obtaining of a reduction in tax liability by means of sideways relief or capital gains relief.
