Textual Amendments

F2 Sch. 23A inserted by Finance Act 1991 (c. 31, SIF 63:1), s. 58, Sch. 13 para.1 (with effect as mentioned in s. 58(3) in relation to payments made on or after such day as may be specified: 26.2.1992 specified for certain purposes by S.I. 1992/173, reg.2; 30.6.1992 specified for certain purposes by S.I. 1992/1346, regs.2, 3, 4; 21.4.1993 specified for certain purposes by S.I. 1993/933, regs.2, 3(b), 4)

F3 2 (1) This paragraph applies in any case where, under a contract or other arrangements for the transfer of United Kingdom equities, one of the parties (the “dividend manufacturer”) is required to pay to the other (“the recipient”) an amount representative of a dividend on the equities; and in this Schedule the “manufactured dividend” means any payment which the dividend manufacturer makes in discharge of that requirement.

(2) If, in a case where this paragraph applies, the dividend manufacturer is a company resident in the United Kingdom, then, for all purposes of the Tax Acts, the manufactured dividend shall be treated as if it were a dividend of, and paid by, the dividend manufacturer (and shall accordingly be a distribution of the dividend manufacturer for those purposes).

(3) If, in a case where this paragraph applies, the dividend manufacturer is not such a company as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above (so that section 737 applies in relation to the dividend manufacturer) the manufactured dividend shall for all purposes of the Tax Acts be treated in relation to the recipient and all persons claiming title through or under him—

(a) as if the manufactured dividend were a dividend on the United Kingdom equities,

(b) as if any amount required in consequence of section 737 to be deducted by the dividend manufacturer on account of income tax in respect of the gross amount of the manufactured dividend were required to be accounted for by him as advance corporation tax in respect of the dividend, and

(c) as if any certificate of deduction of tax required in consequence of that section to be issued in connection with the manufactured dividend were the tax credit certificate that would have been issued had the manufactured dividend in fact been a dividend on the United Kingdom equities.

(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b) above, the gross amount of a manufactured dividend is the aggregate of the amount of the manufactured dividend and the amount of the tax credit that would have been issued in respect thereof had the manufactured dividend in fact been a dividend on the United Kingdom equities.

[F4 (5) Sub-paragraph (3)(c) above shall be without prejudice to the operation of subsection (3) of section 78 of the Finance Act 1993, where that subsection has effect by virtue of sub-paragraph (3)(a) above for determining the amount of any tax credit to which any person is entitled in respect of any manufactured dividend.]

[F5 (6) In a case where—

(a) the dividend of which the manufactured dividend is representative is a foreign income dividend, and

(b) the dividend manufacturer is a company resident in the United Kingdom,

the manufactured dividend shall, in addition to being treated as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above, be treated for all purposes of the Tax Acts as if it were a foreign income dividend; but in such a case the dividend manufacturer shall not by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) above be liable to pay advance corporation tax in respect of the manufactured dividend.

(7) In a case where—

(a) the dividend of which the manufactured dividend is representative is a foreign income dividend, and

(b) the dividend manufacturer is not a company resident in the United Kingdom (so that, were the dividend of which the manufactured dividend is representative not a foreign income dividend, section 737 would apply in relation to the dividend manufacturer),

in relation to the recipient and all persons claiming title through or under him the manufactured dividend shall, in addition to being treated as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(a) above, be treated as if it were a foreign income dividend.

(8) In this paragraph “foreign income dividend” shall be construed in accordance with Chapter VA of Part VI.]
