Finance (No. 2) Act 2017
(124A) (1) This section applies if— (a) an insurance company carrying on basic life assurance and general annuity business makes a BLAGAB trade loss for an accounting period beginning on or after 1 April 2017 (“the loss-making period”), (b) relief under— - section 37 of CTA 2010 (as applied by section 123), or - Part 5 of CTA 2010 (group relief) (as applied by section 125), is not given for an amount of the loss (“the unrelieved amount”), and (c) the company continues to carry on basic life assurance and general annuity business in the next accounting period (“the later period”). (2) The unrelieved amount is carried forward to the later period. (3) Relief for the unrelieved amount is given to the company in the later period if the company has a BLAGAB trade profit for the later period. (4) The relief is given as set out in subsection (5). (5) For the purposes of— (a) section 93 (minimum profits charge), and (b) section 104 (policyholders' rate of tax), the BLAGAB trade profit of the later period is reduced by the unrelieved amount (but see also section 124D). (6) Relief under this section is subject to restriction or modification in accordance with section 137(7) of CTA 2010 and other applicable provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts. (124B) (1) This section applies if— (a) an amount of an insurance company's BLAGAB trade loss for an accounting period is carried forward to an accounting period of the company (“the later period”) under section 124A(2) or 124C(3), and (b) any of that amount (“the unrelieved amount”) is not deducted under section 124A(5) or 124C(6) (as the case may be) from the company's BLAGAB trade profit (if any) of the later period. (2) The company may make a claim for relief to be given for the unrelieved amount under this section. (3) If the company makes a claim, the relief is given by deducting the unrelieved amount, or any part of it specified in the claim, from the company's total profits of the later period. (4) But (if the company is a Solvency 2 insurance company)— (a) the company may not make a claim under this section if the unrelieved amount is wholly a shock loss, and (b) the company may not make a claim specifying a part of the unrelieved amount if that part is (to any extent) a shock loss. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4) assume that in any use by the company of the BLAGAB trade loss for relief under— (a) section 37 of CTA 2010 (as applied by section 123), (b) Part 5 of CTA 2010 (as applied by section 125), or (c) section 124A(5) or 124C(6), any part of it that is a shock loss is used before any part of it that is not a shock loss. (6) A claim under this section must be made— (a) within the period of two years after the end of the later period, or (b) within such further period as an officer of Revenue and Customs may allow. (7) Relief under this section is subject to restriction or modification in accordance with section 137(7) of CTA 2010 and other applicable provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts. (8) In this section— - “Solvency 2 insurance company” means an insurance undertaking, a reinsurance undertaking or a third-country insurance undertaking; - “insurance undertaking” has the meaning given in Article 13(1) of the Solvency 2 Directive; - “reinsurance undertaking” has the meaning given in Article 13(4) of the Solvency 2 Directive; - “Solvency 2 Directive” means Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 25 November 2009 on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (Solvency II); - “shock loss” has the meaning given by section 269ZK of CTA 2010; - “third-country insurance undertaking” means an undertaking that has received authorisation under Article 162 of the Solvency 2 Directive from the Prudential Regulation Authority or the Financial Conduct Authority. (124C) (1) This section applies if— (a) an amount of an insurance company's BLAGAB trade loss for an accounting period is carried forward to an accounting period (“the later period”) of the company under section 124A(2) or subsection (3) of this section, (b) any of that amount is unrelieved in the later period, and (c) the company continues to carry on basic life assurance and general annuity business in the accounting period (“the further period”) after the later period. (2) An amount carried forward as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is “unrelieved in the later period” so far as it is not— (a) deducted under section 124A(5) or subsection (6) of this section from the company's BLAGAB trade profit (if any) of the later period, (b) deducted from the company's total profits of the later period on a claim under 124B, or (c) surrendered by way of group relief for carried-forward losses under Part 5A of CTA 2010. (3) So much of the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(a) as is unrelieved in the later period is carried forward to the further period. (4) Relief for the amount carried forward under subsection (3) (“the remaining carried forward amount”) is given to the company in the further period if the company has a BLAGAB trade profit for that period. (5) The relief is given as set out in subsection (6). (6) For the purposes of— (a) section 93 (minimum profits charge), and (b) section 104 (policyholders' rate of tax), the BLAGAB trade profit of the further period is reduced by the remaining carried forward amount (but see also section 124D). (7) Relief under this section is subject to restriction or modification in accordance with section 137(7) of CTA 2010 and other applicable provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts. (124D) (1) The sum of any deductions made by a company for an accounting period under sections 124(5), 124A(5) and 124C(6) may not exceed the relevant maximum. But this is subject to subsection (6). (2) In this section the “relevant maximum” means the sum of— (a) 50% of the company's relevant BLAGAB trade profits for the accounting period, and (b) the company's BLAGAB trade profits deductions allowance for the accounting period. (3) A company's “relevant BLAGAB trade profits” for an accounting period are— (a) the company's BLAGAB trade profit for the accounting period, less (b) the company's BLAGAB trade profits deductions allowance for the accounting period. But if the allowance mentioned in paragraph (b) exceeds the profit mentioned in paragraph (a), the company's “relevant BLAGAB trade profits” for the accounting period are nil. (4) A company's “BLAGAB trade profits deductions allowance” for an accounting period— (a) is so much of the company's deductions allowance for the period as is specified in the company's tax return as its BLAGAB trade profits deductions allowance for the period, and (b) accordingly, is nil if no amount of the company's deductions allowance for the period is so specified. (5) An amount specified under subsection (4)(a) as a company's BLAGAB trade profits deductions allowance for an accounting period may not exceed the difference between— (a) the amount of the company's deductions allowance for the period, and (b) the total of any amounts specified for the period under sections 269ZB(7)(a) of CTA 2010 (trading profits deduction allowance) and 269ZC(5)(a) of CTA 2010 (non-trading profits deduction allowance). (6) Subsection (1) does not apply to a company for an accounting period if the company's BLAGAB trade profit for the accounting period is not greater than nil. (7) Section 269ZB(9) of CTA 2010 gives the meaning of “deductions allowance” in relation to a company and an accounting period. (124E) (1) Subsection (2) applies where the company making a deduction under section 124A(5) or 124C(6) is a Solvency 2 insurance company. (2) The deduction is to be ignored for the purposes of section 124D(1) and section 269ZD(2)(b)(iii) of CTA 2010 so far as it is a deduction of a shock loss. (3) Where, by virtue of subsection (2), any deductions made by a Solvency 2 insurance company for an accounting period would be ignored for the purposes of section 124D(1), the references in section 124D(3)(a) and (6) to the company's BLAGAB trade profit have effect as references to that profit as reduced by those deductions. (4) In this section “Solvency 2 insurance company” and “shock loss” have the same meaning as in section 124B.

75
After Chapter 2 insert—
(676AA) (1) This Chapter applies if conditions 1 and 2 are met. (2) Condition 1 is that on or after 1 April 2017 there is a change in the ownership of a company (“the transferred company”). (3) Condition 2 is that a major change in the business of the transferred company or a co-transferred company occurs within the required period but not before 1 April 2017. (4) The required period is— (a) for the purposes of section 676AF, any period beginning no more than 3 years before the change in ownership occurs which is a period of 5 years in which that change occurs, (b) for the purposes of sections 676AG to 676AK, the period of 8 years beginning 3 years before the change in ownership. (5) In this Chapter— - “the change in ownership” means the change in ownership mentioned in subsection (2); - “the transferred company” has the meaning given by subsection (2); - “trade” includes an office. (676AB) (1) If and so far as — (a) a relevant provision of this Chapter, and (b) a relevant provision of Chapter 2 or 3, would each (if the other provision were ignored) apply in relation to the same loss or other amount, the relevant provision of this Chapter does not apply in relation to that amount. (2) In this section “relevant provision”— (a) in relation to this Chapter means any of the provisions of sections 676AF to 676AK; (b) in relation to Chapters 2 and 3 means any of the provisions of sections 674 and 679 to 683. (676AC) (1) In this Chapter references to a “major change in the business” of a company include— (a) a major change in the nature or conduct of any trade or business carried on by the company, (b) a major change in the scale of any trade or business carried on by the company, and (c) beginning or ceasing to carry on a particular trade or business. (2) In subsection (1) the reference to a major change in the “nature or conduct” of a trade or business includes— (a) a major change in the type of property dealt in, or services or facilities provided in, the trade or business concerned, (b) a major change in customers, outlets or markets of the trade or business concerned, (c) a major change in the nature of the investments held by the company for the purposes of an investment business. (3) The definitions in subsections (1) and (2) apply even if the change is the result of a gradual process which began before the period of 5 years mentioned in section 676AA(4)(a) or (as the case may be) the period of 8 years mentioned in section 676AA(4)(b). (4) Where the condition in subsection (5) is met in the case of any two companies, the transfer of a trade or business, or any property, from one of them to the other is to be disregarded in determining for the purposes of section 676AA(3) whether or not there is a major change in the business of either of those companies. (5) The condition is that the companies are related to one another both— (a) immediately before the change in ownership, and (b) at the time of the transfer mentioned in subsection (4). (676AD) (1) This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter. (2) The accounting period in which the change in ownership occurs (“the actual accounting period”) is treated as two separate accounting periods (“notional accounting periods”), the first ending with the change and the second consisting of the remainder of the period. (3) Section 685 (apportionment of amounts) applies for the purposes of this Chapter as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 3. (4) The amounts for the actual accounting period in column 1 of the table in section 685(2) are apportioned to the two notional accounting periods in accordance with section 685. (5) In this Chapter, and in sections 685 and 686 as they apply by virtue of subsection (3), “the actual accounting period” and “notional accounting periods” have the same meaning as in this section. (676AE) (1) This section has effect for the purposes of this Chapter. (2) Profits of an accounting period ending after the change in ownership are “affected profits” if and so far as— (a) they arise before the 5th anniversary of the end of the accounting period of the transferred company in which the change in ownership occurs, and (b) they can fairly and reasonably be attributed to activities, or other sources of income, as a result of which, or partly as a result of which, the major change referred to in section 676AA(3) has occurred. (3) If an accounting period of the company begins before, and ends after, the anniversary mentioned in subsection (2), then for the purposes of that subsection— (a) the accounting period is treated as two separate accounting periods, the first ending with that date and the second consisting of the remainder of the period, and (b) the profits or losses of the accounting period are apportioned to the two periods. (4) Any apportionment under subsection (3)(b) is to be made on a time basis according to the respective lengths of the two deemed accounting periods.
