Section 1129: Qualifying expenditure on externally provided workers: connected persons
2914.This section gives the amount of the qualifying expenditure if the company and the staff provider are connected. It is based on paragraph 8C of Schedule 20 to FA 2000.
2915.The definition of connected persons in section 839 of ICTA (applied by section 1316(1)) applies.
2916.Subsection (3) defines “relevant expenditure”. It provides for the exclusion for expenditure of a capital nature that is omitted in the rewrite of other provisions of the source legislation for this Part. Section 53 in Part 3 (trading income), which denies a deduction for capital expenditure, applies to determine if the expenditure would be deductible in calculating the trading profits. It would not apply to exclude capital expenditure from the staff provider’s actual relevant expenditure.
2917.The definition of “agency workers’ remuneration” in subsection (6) omits the reference to section 134 of ICTA in paragraph 8C(4)(b) of Schedule 20 to FA 2000. The ICTA provision was repealed by ITEPA and the cross-reference is no longer required.
