59A Payments on account of income tax. U.K.

(1) [F527 Subject to subsection (9) below,] this section applies to any person (the taxpayer) as regards a year of assessment if as regards the immediately preceding year—

(a) he [F528 is assessed] to income tax under section 9 of this Act in any amount, and

(b) that amount (the assessed amount) exceeds the amount of any income tax which has been deducted at source, and

(c) the amount of the excess (the relevant amount) is not less than such amount as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Board, and

(d) the proportion which the relevant amount bears to the assessed amount is not less than such proportion as may be so prescribed.

(2) Subject to subsection (3) below, the taxpayer shall make two payments on account of his liability to income tax for the year of assessment—

(a) the first on or before the 31st January in that year, and

(b) the second on or before the next following 31st July;

and, subject to [F529 subsections [F530 (4) to (4B)]] below, each of those payments on account shall be of an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the relevant amount.

(3) If, at any time before the 31st January next following the year of assessment, the taxpayer makes a claim under this subsection stating—

(a) his belief that he will not be assessed to income tax for that year, or that the amount in which he will be so assessed will not exceed the amount of income tax deducted at source, and

(b) his grounds for that belief,

each of the payments on account shall not be, and shall be deemed never to have been, required to be made.

(4) If, at any time before the 31st January next following the year of assessment, the taxpayer makes a claim under this subsection stating—

(a) his belief that the amount in which he will be assessed to income tax for that year will exceed the amount of income tax deducted at source by a stated amount which is less than the relevant amount, and

(b) his grounds for that belief,

the amount of each of the payments on account required to be made shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, equal to 50 per cent. of the stated amount.

[F531 (4A) If as regards the year immediately preceding the year of assessment—

(a) the taxpayer is assessed to income tax under section 9 of this Act after the date on or before which either payment on account is required to be made, or

(b) his assessment to income tax under that section is amended after that date,

then, subject to subsections (3) and (4) above [F532 and subsection (4B) below] and to any subsequent application of this subsection, the amount of the payment on account shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, equal to 50 per cent. of the relevant amount as determined on the basis of the assessment or, as the case may be, the assessment as amended.]

[F533 (4B) If as regards the year immediately preceding the year of assessment the taxpayer is assessed to income tax under section 29 of this Act in any amount, then, subject to subsections (3) and (4) above and to any subsequent application of this subsection, the amount of each payment on account shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, the total of—

(a) the amount which, immediately before the making of the assessment under section 29, is the amount of that payment, and

(b) an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the amount in which he is assessed under that assessment;

and if that assessment is varied, the amount in which he is assessed under it shall be taken for the purposes of paragraph (b) above to be the amount of the assessment as varied.]

(5) Where the taxpayer makes a claim under subsection (3) or (4) above [F534 or subsection (4A) [F535 or (4B)] above applies], there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account[F536 , by the making of payments or further payments on account] or otherwise, as may be required to give effect to the provisions of that subsection.

(6) Where the taxpayer fraudulently or negligently makes any incorrect statement in connection with a claim under subsection (3) or (4) above, he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding the difference between—

(a) the amount which would have been payable on account if he had made a correct statement, and

(b) the amount of the payment on account (if any) made by him.

(7) The provisions of the Income Tax Acts as to the recovery of income tax shall apply to an amount falling to be paid on account of tax in the same manner as they apply to an amount of tax.

[F537 (8) In this section, in relation to a year of assessment, any reference to the amount of any income tax deducted at source is a reference to the amount by which the aggregate of the following, namely—

(a) any income tax deducted or treated as deducted from any income, or treated as paid on any income, in respect of the year, and

(b) any amounts which, in respect of the year, are to be deducted at source under [F538 PAYE regulations] in subsequent years, or are tax credits to which [F539 section 397(1) [F540 or [F541 397A(1)]] of ITTOIA 2005] applies,

exceeds the aggregate of any amounts which, in the year, are deducted at source under [F542 PAYE regulations] in respect of previous years.

(9) If, at any time before the 31st January next following a year of assessment, an officer of the Board so directs—

(a) this section shall not apply, and shall be deemed never to have applied, as regards that year to any person specified in the direction; and

(b) there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account or otherwise, as may be required to give effect to the direction.]

[F543 (10) [F544 PAYE regulations] may provide that, for the purpose of determining the amount of any such excess as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, any necessary adjustments in respect of matters prescribed by the regulations shall be made to the amount of tax deducted at source under [F545 PAYE regulations].]]

(i) may not seek payment of the deferred tax otherwise than in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12;

(ii) may make repayments in respect of any amount of the deferred tax paid, or any amount paid on account of the deferred tax, before the CT payment plan is entered into.

(3) As regards interest—

(a) the deferred tax carries interest in accordance with Part 9 as if the CT payment plan had not been entered into, and

(b) each time a payment is made in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12, it is to be paid together with any interest payable on it.

(b) the other 5 instalments are due one on each of the first 5 anniversaries of that day.

(2) But see paragraphs 10 to 12 for circumstances in which all or part of the outstanding balance of the deferred tax becomes due otherwise than by those instalments.

The payment method: all of outstanding balance due U.K.

10 (1) Where at any time after a CT payment plan is entered into by a company an event mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) occurs the outstanding balance of the deferred tax is due on the date on which the next instalment of that tax would otherwise be due. U.K.

(c) an event under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom corresponding to an event in paragraph (a) or (b);

(e) the company ceasing to be within the charge to corporation tax.

All of outstanding balance attributable to particular qualifying transaction due U.K.

(b) during the instalments period a trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction identified in the plan, and

(2) A trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction if the transferee ceases to be resident in an EEA state and, on so ceasing, does not become resident another EEA state.

(3) A trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction if the company and the transferee cease to be members of the same group as one another.

(4) A trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (2) or (5) of paragraph 3 if the transferee disposes of the asset that is the subject of the transaction.

(5) A trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (3) or (4) of paragraph 3 if the transferee ceases to be a party to the loan relationship or derivative contract concerned.

(6) On the occurrence of the trigger event an amount of the deferred tax is due.

(7) The amount due is—

where—

“A” is the amount of the deferred tax that is attributable to the qualifying transaction (see paragraph 7(2)),

“B” is the amount of the deferred tax that has previously become due under paragraph 12 by reason of a partial trigger event occurring in relation to the qualifying transaction,

“O” is the amount of the deferred tax that is outstanding at the time of the trigger event, and

“T” is the amount of the deferred tax.

(8) In this paragraph “the instalments period” means the period—

(3) A partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (3) or (4) of paragraph 3 if there is a disposal by the transferee of a right or liability under the loan relationship or derivative contract concerned which amounts to a related transaction (as defined in section 304 or 596 of CTA 2009 as the case may be).

(4) A partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 3 if the transferee enters into a subsequent transaction which results in a reduction in the accounting value of the intangible fixed asset that is the subject of the qualifying transaction but does not result in the intangible fixed asset ceasing to be recognised in the transferee's balance sheet.

(5) In relation to an intangible fixed asset that has no balance sheet value (or no longer has a balance sheet value) sub-paragraph (4) applies as if, immediately before the subsequent transaction, it did have a balance sheet value.

(6) On the occurrence of the partial trigger event an amount of the deferred tax is due.

(7) The amount due is the amount that is just and reasonable having regard to the amount that would have been due had a trigger event occurred in relation to the qualifying transaction instead.
