(1) Where—

(a) an insurance company carries on more than one category of [F2 long-term] business in an accounting period, and

subsection (2) below shall have effect.

(2) In any such case, the amount of the credit for foreign tax which, under the arrangements, is allowable against corporation tax in respect of so much of the relevant income as is referable (in accordance with the provisions of sections 432ZA to 432E F3 . . . ) to a particular category of business must not exceed the fraction of the foreign tax which, in accordance with the following provisions of this section, is attributable to that category of business.

[F4 (3) Where the relevant income arises from an asset which is linked solely to a category of business, the whole of the foreign tax is attributable to that category of business, unless the case is one where subsection (7) below applies.

(3A) Where the relevant income arises from foreign currency assets, the whole of the foreign tax is attributable to gross roll-up business, unless the case is one where subsection (7) below applies.]

(4) Where subsection (3) above does not apply and the category of business in question is—

(a) basic life assurance and general annuity business, or

(b) [F5 PHI] business,

the fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to that category of business is the fraction whose numerator is the part of the relevant income which is referable to that category by virtue of any provision of section 432A F6 . . . and whose denominator is the whole of the relevant income.

(5) Subsections (6) and (7) below apply where the category of business in question is [F7 gross roll-up business.]

(7) Where some or all of the relevant income falls to be taken into account in determining in accordance with section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 the amount referred to in section 432E(1) as the net amount, the fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to [F10 gross roll-up business] is the fraction—

(a) whose numerator is the part of [F11 the investment income taken into account in that determination which would be referable to [F12 gross roll-up business] by virtue of section 432E if the investment income were the only amount included in the net amount]; and

(b) whose denominator is the whole of that [F13 investment income].

[F14 (7A) The Treasury may by regulations amend subsection (7) above; and the regulations may include amendments having effect in relation to accounting periods during which they are made.]

(8) No part of the foreign tax is attributable to any category of business except as provided by subsections (3) to (7) above.
