SCHEDULE 1 U.K. Quantification of a privatisation windfall

The basic rule U.K.

1 (1) Subject to paragraph 7 below, where a company was benefitting on 2nd July 1997 from a windfall from the flotation of an undertaking whose privatisation involved the imposition of economic regulation, the amount of that windfall shall be taken for the purposes of this Part to be the excess (if any) of the amount specified in sub-paragraph (2)(a) below over the amount specified in sub-paragraph (2)(b) below. U.K.

(2) Those amounts are the following amounts (determined in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 6 below), that is to say—

(a) the value in profit-making terms of the disposal made on the occasion of the company’s flotation; and

(b) the value which for privatisation purposes was put on that disposal.

Value of a disposal in profit-making terms U.K.

2 (1) Subject to paragraph 4 below, the value in profit-making terms of the disposal made on the occasion of a company’s flotation is the amount produced by multiplying the average annual profit for the company’s initial period by the applicable price-to-earnings ratio. U.K.

(2) For the purposes of this paragraph the average annual profit for a company’s initial period is the amount produced by the following formula—

Where—

A is the average annual profit for the company’s initial period;

P is the amount, ascertained in accordance with paragraph 5 below, of the total profits for the company’s initial period; and

D is the number of days in the company’s initial period.

(3) For the purposes of this paragraph the applicable price-to-earnings ratio is 9.

Value put on a disposal for privatisation purposes U.K.

3 (1) Subject to paragraph 4 below, the value which for privatisation purposes was put on the disposal made on the occasion of a company’s flotation is the amount produced by multiplying the institutional price by the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company at the time of its flotation. U.K.

(2) In this paragraph “the institutional price”, in relation to a company, means the highest fixed price per share at which publicly-owned shares in the company were offered for disposal on the occasion of the company’s flotation.

(3) Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, where publicly-owned shares in a company were offered for disposal in accordance with any arrangements for the payment of the price in two or more instalments, the price per share at which those shares were offered shall be ascertained by aggregating the instalments.

(4) Where the arrangements under which any publicly-owned shares in a company were offered for disposal provided for any discount on the payment of the whole or any part of the price for those shares, that discount shall be disregarded for the purposes of this paragraph in determining the price per share at which those shares were offered.

Cases where company privatised in stages U.K.

4 (1) For the purposes of this Schedule, where the disposal percentage in the case of any company was 85 per cent. or less— U.K.

(a) the value in profit-making terms of the disposal made on the occasion of the company’s flotation, and

(b) the value which for privatisation purposes was put on that disposal,

shall each be taken to be the disposal percentage of the amount which, under paragraph 2 or 3 above, would be the amount of that value but for this paragraph.

(2) For the purposes of this paragraph “the disposal percentage”, in relation to any company, means the percentage which expresses (in terms of nominal value) how much of the ordinary share capital of the company at the time of its flotation was represented by the publicly-owned shares in the company offered for disposal on the occasion of the company’s flotation.

Total profits for the initial period U.K.

5 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 2 above the amount of the total profits for a company’s initial period is the sum of the amounts falling within sub-paragraph (2) below. U.K.

(2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3) and paragraph 6(3) below, those amounts are every amount which, for a financial year of the company ending in or at the end of its initial period, is shown in the relevant accounts for that year—

(a) where those accounts are prepared in accordance with section 227 of the M1 Companies Act 1985 (group accounts), as the profit of that company and its subsidiary undertakings for that year; and

(b) in any other case, as the profit of that company for that year.

(3) Where—

(a) any profit shown in the relevant accounts of a company for any financial year has been computed using a current cost accounting method, but

(b) the information which was contained in those accounts, or which was provided to the registrar together with those accounts, included information from which it can be ascertained what that profit would have been if an historical cost accounting method had been used,

the amount shown as that profit in those accounts shall be deemed to be the amount (as ascertained from that information) which would have been so shown if that historical cost accounting method had been used.

(4) In this paragraph references, in relation to any financial year of a company, to the relevant accounts are references to any such accounts for that year as have been or are delivered to the registrar under section 242 of the Companies Act 1985 and consist—

(a) in the case of a financial year at the end of which the company was a parent undertaking, in consolidated group accounts prepared in accordance with section 227 of that Act (group accounts); and

(b) in any other case, in accounts prepared in accordance with section 226 of that Act (individual accounts).

(5) Subject to sub-paragraph (6) below, references in this paragraph to the amount shown in any accounts as the profit for any financial year are references to the amount of the profit (if any) for that year which is set out in the profit and loss account comprised in those accounts as the item which is, or is the equivalent of, the final item of the statutory format which for that year was used for that profit and loss account.

(6) Where any amount shown in any accounts is less than it would have been if no provision or other deduction had been made—

(a) in relation to the windfall tax, or

(b) in anticipation of the imposition of a charge with characteristics similar to those of the windfall tax,

this Schedule shall have effect as if the amount shown were the amount it would have been if that provision or deduction had not been made.

(7) Nothing in this paragraph shall, in the case of any company—

(a) prevent any charge to windfall tax from being treated as having arisen on 2nd July 1997 by reference to accounts delivered to the registrar after that date; or

(b) prevent any requirement to pay an instalment of windfall tax, or any other liability under Schedule 2 to this Act, from arising before the delivery to the registrar of the accounts by reference to which the amount of that charge is computed;

and any power of the Board under that Schedule to make an assessment shall include power to make an assessment on the basis that accounts will be delivered to the registrar showing such amounts as may, to the best of their judgement, be determined by the Board.

(8) Subject to sub-paragraph (9) below, this paragraph shall have effect in relation to any time at which the M2 Companies Act 1985 had effect without the amendments made by the M3 Companies Act 1989—
