(b)at the time of the transaction the transferee is resident outside the United Kingdom in an EEA state, and
(c)it is a transaction to which section 340(3) of CTA 2009 would apply were the transferee resident at the time of the transaction in the United Kingdom instead.
(4)A transaction is within this sub-paragraph if—
(a)it is a transaction, or the first in a series of transactions, as a result of which the company concerned is directly or indirectly replaced as a party to a derivative contract by another company (“the transferee”),
(b)at the time of the transaction the transferee is resident outside the United Kingdom in an EEA state, and

(b)it is a transfer to a company (“the transferee”) that immediately after the transfer is resident outside the United Kingdom in an EEA state, and

Effect of CT payment planU.K.
8(1)This paragraph applies where a CT payment plan is entered into by a company in accordance with this Schedule.U.K.

(a)the CT payment plan does not prevent the deferred tax becoming due and payable under section 59D or 59E, but
(b)the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs—
(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.
(4)As regards penalties, the company will be liable to penalties for late payment of the deferred tax only if it fails to make payments in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12 (see item 6ZAA of the Table at the end of paragraph 1 of Schedule 56 to the Finance Act 2009).
(5)Any of the deferred tax which is for the time being unpaid may be paid at any time before it becomes payable under paragraphs 9 to 12 together with interest payable on it to the date of payment.

9(1)Where a CT payment plan is entered into by a company, the deferred tax is due in 6 instalments of equal amounts as follows—U.K.

(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 dueU.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.
(2)The events are—
(a)the company becoming insolvent or entering administration;
(b)the appointment of a liquidator in respect of the company;
(c)an event under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom corresponding to an event in paragraph (a) or (b);
(d)the company failing to pay any amount of the deferred tax for a period of 12 months after the date on which the amount becomes due;
(e)the company ceasing to be within the charge to corporation tax.
All of outstanding balance attributable to particular qualifying transaction dueU.K.
11(1)This paragraph applies where—U.K.
(a)a CT payment plan is entered into by a company,
(b)during the instalments period a trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction identified in the plan, and
(c)a trigger event has not previously occurred in relation to that qualifying transaction during the instalments period.
(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—
(a)beginning with the time the CT payment plan is entered into, and
(b)ending with the day on which the final instalment of the deferred tax is due under paragraph 9.
Part of outstanding balance attributable to particular qualifying transaction dueU.K.
12(1)This paragraph applies where—U.K.
(a)a CT payment plan is entered into by a company,
(b)during the instalments period a partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction listed in the plan, and
(c)a trigger event has not previously occurred in relation to that qualifying transaction during the instalments period.
(2)A partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 3 if the transferee disposes of part (but not all) of the asset that is the subject of the transaction.
Section 21(2)(b) of TCGA 1992 (meaning of part disposal of an asset) applies for the purposes of this sub-paragraph as it applies for the purposes of that Act.
(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.
(8)In this paragraph “the instalments period” and “trigger event” have the same meaning as in paragraph 11.]
