Corporation Tax Act 2009 Explanatory Notes

Section 79: Additional payments

313.This section deals with any voluntary payments that an employer makes in addition to the statutory (or approved) payments dealt with in section 77. It is based on section 90 of ICTA. The corresponding rule for income tax is in section 79 of ITTOIA.

314.Unlike the payments in section 77, these additional payments are allowable only if the sole reason for their disallowance is the cessation of the trade.

315.The section applies to payments in connection with the cessation of part of a trade in the same way as it applies to payments in connection with the cessation of a whole trade. See Change 17 in Annex 1.
