This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
6(1)This paragraph applies where—
(a)a qualifying company has made a loan,
(b)the debt is a debt on a security, and
(c)the right to settlement under the debt is a qualifying asset.
(2)In applying section 117 of the 1992 Act (qualifying corporate bonds) for the purposes of section 254 of that Act (relief for debts on qualifying corporate bonds) section 117(1)(b) (corporate bond must be in sterling) shall be ignored.
(3)If the settlement currency of the debt is a currency other than sterling, in applying section 117 of that Act for the purposes of section 254 of that Act—
(a)the definition of normal commercial loan for the purposes of section 117(1)(a) shall have effect as if paragraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 1(5) of Schedule 18 to the Taxes Act 1988 were omitted;
(b)section 117(10) (securities issued within group) shall be ignored.
(4)In applying section 254(6) of that Act in the case of a security which would not be a qualifying corporate bond apart from sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above, the allowable amount shall be found by taking what that amount would be apart from this sub-paragraph and deducting an amount equal to the amount of any exchange loss (or the aggregate amount of any exchange losses) accruing to the company as regards the asset for a period or periods ending on or before the relevant date.
(5)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above—
(a)an exchange loss is an exchange loss of a trade or an exchange loss of part of a trade or a non-trading exchange loss;
(b)the relevant date is the date when the security’s value became negligible or the outstanding amount of the principal of the loan was irrecoverable or proved to be irrecoverable (as the case may be).
(6)Where apart from this sub-paragraph the amount of an exchange loss would be an amount expressed in a currency other than the basic currency, it shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as the basic currency equivalent on the day the claim is made of the amount so expressed; and the basic currency is the currency in which the allowable amount is expressed.
(7)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) above the basic currency equivalent of an amount on a particular day is the basic currency equivalent calculated by reference to the London closing exchange rate for that day.
(8)This paragraph applies to claims made on or after the company’s commencement day (whenever the loan was made).
