1A(1)The credits and debits to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter shall not include any credits or debits relating to—U.K.
(a)a policy of life assurance; or
(b)a capital redemption policy, within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 13 of the Taxes Act 1988.
(2)Nothing in section 80(5) of this Act prevents an amount which, by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above, is not brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter from being brought into account for the purposes of corporation tax apart from this Chapter.]
2(1)This paragraph applies for the purpose of bringing debits into account for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of a debtor relationship of a company where an authorised accruals basis of accounting is used as respects that relationship in pursuance of section 87 of this Act.
(2)If—
(a)interest payable under that relationship is not paid within the period of twelve months following the end of the accounting period in which it would (apart from this paragraph) be treated as accruing, and
(b)credits representing the full amount of the interest are not for any accounting period brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of the corresponding creditor relationship,
then debits relating to that interest shall be brought into account on the assumption that the interest does not accrue until it is paid.
3(1)This paragraph applies for determining the credits and debits to be brought into account for any accounting period in accordance with an authorised accruals basis of accounting, where—U.K.
(a)the answer to the question whether any amount will become due under a loan relationship after the end of that period,
(b)the amount which will become due under a loan relationship after the end of that period, or
(c)the time after the end of that period when an amount will become due under a loan relationship,
depends on the exercise of an option by a party to the relationship or an associate of his, or is otherwise under the control of such a party or an associate of his.
(2)It shall be assumed that the party or his associate will exercise his power to determine whether and on what date any amount will become due in the manner which (apart from taxation) appears, as at the end of the accounting period in question, to be the most advantageous to that party.
(3)In this paragraph “associate” has the meaning given for the purposes of Part XI of the Taxes Act 1988 by section 417(3) and (4) of that Act.
4(1)The credits and debits to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter shall be computed disregarding so much of any authorised accounting method as, by requiring the translation or conversion of amounts from one currency into another, has the effect that credits and debits produced by that method include sums in which profits, gains or losses arising from fluctuations in the value of a currency are to any extent represented.
(2)This paragraph is without prejudice to the provisions of Chapter II of Part II of the M1Finance Act 1993 (exchange gains and losses).

5(1)In determining the credits and debits to be brought into account in accordance with an accruals basis of accounting, a departure from the assumption in the case of the creditor relationships of a company that every amount payable under those relationships will be paid in full as it becomes due shall be allowed (subject to paragraph 6 below) to the extent only that—
(a)a debt is a bad debt;
(b)a doubtful debt is estimated to be bad; or
(c)a liability to pay any amount is released.
(2)Such a departure shall be made only where the accounting arrangements allowing the departure also require appropriate adjustments, in the form of credits, to be made if the whole or any part of an amount taken or estimated to represent an amount of bad debt is paid or otherwise ceases to be an amount in respect of which such a departure is allowed.
(3)Where—
(a)a liability to pay any amount under a debtor relationship of a company is released, and
(b)the release takes place in an accounting period for which an authorised accruals basis of accounting is used as respects that relationship,
no credit in respect of the release shall be required to be brought into account in the case of that company if the release is part of a relevant arrangement or compromise (within the meaning given by section 74(2) of the Taxes Act 1988) or the relationship is one as respects which section 87 of this Act requires the use of an authorised accruals basis of accounting.

5A(1)This paragraph applies where the conditions in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) below are satisfied.U.K.
(2)The first condition is that by virtue of paragraph 5 above a debit is or has been brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter for any group accounting period by—
(a)a company (“the member company”) which is a member of a consortium by which a consortium company is owned; or
(b)a company (a “group member”) which is a member of the same group of companies as the member company but is not itself a member of the consortium.
(3)The second condition is that the debit is or was in respect of a creditor relationship of the member company or group member and—
(a)the consortium company, or
(b)if that company is a holding company, a consortium company which is a subsidiary of that company,
is or, as the case may be, was the debtor (“the debtor consortium company”).
(4)Any reference in this paragraph to a “relevant creditor relationship” is a reference to a creditor relationship (whether of the member company or a group member) which falls within sub-paragraph (3) above.
(5)For the purposes of this paragraph there is for any group accounting period a “relevant net debit” in relation to the relevant creditor relationships if—
(a)the total of the debits brought into account for that period by virtue of paragraph 5 above in respect of those relationships by—
(i)the member company, and
(ii)every group member,
exceeds
(b)the total of any related debt recovery credits so brought into account by those companies for that period in respect of those relationships,
and the amount of the relevant net debit is the amount of that excess.
(6)Where there is for any group accounting period a relevant net debit in relation to the relevant creditor relationships, the amount of the relevant net debit shall be reduced by so much of any amount which—
(a)may be surrendered as group relief by the debtor consortium company, and
(b)is claimed as group relief for that accounting period by the member company or any group member,
as does not exceed the amount of the relevant net debit.
(7)Where a relevant net debit falls to be reduced under sub-paragraph (6) above by any amount (“the relevant reduction”), each of the debits brought into account in determining the relevant net debit shall be reduced by an amount found by apportioning between those debits, in proportion to their respective amounts, the amount of the relevant reduction.
(8)For the purposes of this paragraph there is for any group accounting period a “” in relation to the relevant creditor relationships if—
(a)the total amount of any related debt recovery credits brought into account under paragraph 5 above for the period in respect of those relationships by—

(b)so much of that total amount as has been previously apportioned under sub-paragraph (9) above.
(11)Any reference in this paragraph to a “relevant claim for group relief” is a reference to a claim by the member company or a group member for group relief in respect of an amount which may be surrendered as group relief by the debtor consortium company.
(12)Any relevant claim for group relief for a group accounting period shall be reduced by so much of the cumulative net amount of relevant net debits for earlier group accounting periods in respect of the relevant creditor relationships as does not exceed the total amount of the claim.
Where there are two or more such claims for the same group accounting period which in total exceed that cumulative net amount, each of them shall be reduced by an amount found by apportioning that cumulative net amount between them in proportion to their respective amounts.
(13)In this paragraph, for any group accounting period the cumulative net amount of relevant net debits for earlier group accounting periods in respect of the relevant creditor relationships is the total amount of the relevant net debits for those earlier periods in respect of those relationships, after any reductions falling to be made under this paragraph in the amounts of those relevant net debits.
(14)If there is for any group accounting period—
(a)a relevant claim for group relief (as reduced by virtue of sub-paragraph (12) above, where applicable), and
(b)no relevant net debit in respect of the relevant creditor relationships,
the claim (as so reduced) shall be carried forward and treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (12) above as increasing any relevant claim for group relief made by the claimant company for its next accounting period (or, if there is no other relevant claim for group relief made by that company for that period, as the relevant claim for group relief by that company for that period).

(a)the debtor consortium company has brought an amount into account by virtue of paragraph 5(3) above for an accounting period in relation to a debtor relationship, and
(b)the corresponding creditor relationship is a relevant creditor relationship,

(b)any accounting period of a group member which begins on or after that date and corresponds to such an accounting period of the member company,
and any such accounting period of the member company and any such corresponding accounting periods of one or more group members shall be regarded for the purposes of this paragraph as being the same accounting period.
(18)For the purposes of this paragraph an accounting period of a group member corresponds to an accounting period of the member company if—
(a)the two accounting periods coincide;
(b)the accounting period of the member company includes more than half of the accounting period of the group member; or

(2)Notwithstanding the application to it of the treatment allowed by normal accountancy practice, the debit or credit shall be brought into account for the purposes of corporation tax, for the accounting period for which it is given, in the same way as a debit or credit which, in accordance with normal accountancy practice, is brought into account in determining the company’s profit or loss for that period.

for any accounting period before that in which the security is redeemed.
(3)In this paragraph “relevant discounted security” has the same meaning as in Schedule 13 to this Act; and the provisions of that Schedule shall apply for the purposes of this paragraph for determining the difference between the issue price of a security and the amount payable on redemption as they apply for the purposes of paragraph 3(3) of that Schedule.

(2)In any such case—
(a)in computing the profits and losses of the trade, profession or business for the purposes of corporation tax in accordance with section 114(1) of the Taxes Act 1988 (computation as if the partnership were a company) no debits or credits shall be brought into account under this Chapter in relation to the money debt or any loan relationship that would fall to be treated for the purposes of the computation as arising from the money debt; but

(c)anything done by or in relation to the firm in connection with the money debt shall be treated as done by or in relation to the company partner,
and debits and credits (the “gross debits and credits”) shall be determined accordingly.

(11)Where the company partner uses an authorised mark to market basis of accounting in relation to its interest in the partnership, the only accounting method authorised for use in determining the debits and credits to be brought into account under this paragraph by that company partner is an authorised mark to market basis of accounting, unless a provision of this Chapter requires the use of an authorised accruals basis of accounting.
(12)Subsection (3) of section 84A of this Act does not apply in relation to a company partner as respects the debits and credits to be brought into account by virtue of this paragraph except to the extent that, in the accounts of the firm, exchange gains and losses are carried to or sustained by a reserve in a manner corresponding to that described in that section in relation to a company.
(13)Where the firm holds a relevant discounted security, within the meaning of paragraph 17 above, each of the partners shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as beneficially entitled to that share of the security to which he would be entitled if all the partners were companies and such an apportionment as is described in sub-paragraph (6)(b) above were made.

(b)company A and the other person each have interests, rights and powers representing at least 40 per cent of the holdings, rights and powers in respect of which company A and the other person fall to be taken as having control of company B; and
(c)company A, or a company connected with it, and the other person, or, if that person is a company, a company connected with it, both satisfy the first condition, or both satisfy the second condition, in sub-paragraph (2) below.
(2)A person—
(a)satisfies the first condition if he stands in the position of a creditor in relation to a loan relationship as respects which company B stands in the position of a debtor; and
(b)satisfies the second condition if he stands in the position of a debtor in relation to a loan relationship as respects which company B stands in the position of a creditor.
(3)The reference in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above to interests, rights and powers does not include interests, rights or powers arising from shares held by a company if—
(a)a profit on a sale of the shares would be treated as a trading receipt of a trade carried on by the company; and
(b)the shares are not, within the meaning of Chapter 1 of Part 12 of the Taxes Act 1988, assets of an insurance company’s long-term insurance fund (see section 431(2) of that Act).
(4)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above, any question—
(a)whether two persons taken together have control of a company at any time, or
(b)whether a person has at any time interests, rights and powers representing at least 40 per cent of the holdings, rights and powers in respect of a company,
shall be determined after attributing to any person which is a company all the interests, rights and powers of any company connected with it.
(5)Where section 114 of the Taxes Act 1988 (partnerships involving companies: special rules for computing profits and losses) applies in relation to a partnership, any property, rights or powers held or exercisable for the purposes of the partnership shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph, as respects any time in an accounting period of the partnership, as if—
(a)the property, rights or powers had been apportioned between, and were held or exercisable by, the partners severally, and
(b)the apportionment had been in the shares in which the profit or loss of the accounting period of the partnership would be apportioned between the partners under subsection (2) of that section,
but taking the references in paragraphs (a) and (b) above to partners as not including a reference to the general partner of a limited partnership which is a collective investment scheme within the meaning of section 235 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
(6)Where a trade, profession or business is carried on by two or more persons in partnership (“the firm”) and the firm stands in the position of a creditor or debtor as respects a money debt, any question—
(a)whether a company has a major interest (within the meaning of this paragraph) in another company for an accounting period in the case of a loan relationship, or
(b)to what extent any amount is to be treated under this Chapter in any particular way as a result of a company having, or (as the case may be) not having, such a major interest in another company,
shall be determined as if to the extent of his appropriate share each of the partners separately, instead of the firm, stood in the position of a creditor or, as the case may be, debtor as respects the money debt.
The reference in the words following paragraph (b) above to partners does not include a reference to the general partner of a limited partnership which is a collective investment scheme within the meaning of section 235 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
(7)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) above, a partner’s “” is the share that would be apportioned to him if an apportionment were made in the shares in which any profit or loss computed in accordance with subsection (1) of section 114 of the Taxes Act 1988 for the accounting period in question would be apportioned between the partners under subsection (2) of that section.
(8)For the purposes of this paragraph, a company is connected with another company if one controls the other or both are controlled by the same company.
(9)For the purposes of this paragraph, “control”, in relation to a company, has the same meaning as in section 87 of this Act (see section 87A).
(10)Where two or more persons taken together have the power mentioned in subsection (1) of section 87A of this Act (as read with the other provisions of that section) they shall be taken for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a) above to have control of the company in question.]
