“High income excess relief charge U.K.

213A High income excess relief charge

213A (1) A charge to income tax, to be known as the high income excess relief charge, arises where—

(a) an individual who is a member of one or more registered pension schemes has a high income for a tax year, and

(b) there is a total pension savings amount in the case of the individual for the tax year.

(2) The person liable to the high income excess relief charge is the individual.

(3) The individual is liable to the high income excess relief charge whether or not—

(a) the individual, and

(b) the scheme administrator of the pension scheme or schemes concerned,

are UK resident, ordinarily UK resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom.

(4) The high income excess relief charge is a charge at the appropriate rate in respect of the total pension savings amount.

(5) The total pension savings amount is not to be treated as income for any purpose of the Tax Acts apart from this Part.

(6) In calculating the individual's liability to income tax for the tax year the amount of any income tax to which the individual is liable under this section is to be added at Step 7 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007 (which applies as if this section were a provision listed in section 30 of that Act).

(7) The following sections make further provision about the high income excess relief charge—

(a) sections 213B to 213D (high income),

(b) section 213E (the appropriate rate),

(c) sections 213F to 213N (total pension savings amount),

(d) section 213O (anti-avoidance), and

213B High income

An individual has a high income for a tax year if—

(a) the individual's gross income for the tax year is £150,000 or more, and

(b) the individual's relevant income for the tax year is not less than £130,000.

213C Gross income

To find the individual's gross income for a tax year take the following steps—

• Step 2 Add the amount of any deductions made from any employment income of the individual for the tax year under Part 12 of ITEPA 2003 (payroll giving), under section 193(2) of this Act or under Chapter 2 of Part 5 of ITEPA 2003 (employee's expenses) in accordance with paragraph 51 of Schedule 36 to this Act.

• Step 3 Deduct the amount of any relief under the provisions listed in section 24 of ITA 2007, other than Chapter 3 of Part 8 of that Act (gifts of shares, securities or real property to charity) and sections 193(4) and 194(1) of this Act, to which the individual is entitled for the tax year.

• Step 4 Add so much of the amount that is the total pension savings amount in the case of the individual for the tax year as remains after deducting from it the amount of any relievable pension contributions paid by or on behalf of the individual during the tax year.

213D Relevant income

213D (1) To find the individual's relevant income for a tax year take the following steps—

• Step 1 Identify the individual's total income for the tax year.

• Step 2 Add the amount of any deductions made from any employment income of the individual for the tax year under Part 12 of ITEPA 2003 (payroll giving), under section 193(2) of this Act or under Chapter 2 of Part 5 of ITEPA 2003 (employee's expenses) in accordance with paragraph 51 of Schedule 36 to this Act.

• Step 4 Add any amount by which what would otherwise be general earnings or specific employment income of the individual for the tax year has been reduced by relevant salary sacrifice arrangements or relevant flexible remuneration arrangements.

The result is the individual's relevant income for the tax year.

(2) In subsection (1)—

• “relevant salary sacrifice arrangements” means arrangements under which the individual gives up the right to receive general earnings or specific employment income in return for the making of relevant pension provision and which are made on or after 22 April 2009 (whether before or after the employment in question began);

• “relevant flexible remuneration arrangements” means arrangements under which the individual and an employer of the individual agree that relevant pension provision is to be made rather than the individual receive some description of employment income and which are made on or after 22 April 2009 (whether before or after the employment in question began).

(3) In subsection (2) “relevant pension provision” means the payment of contributions (or additional contributions) to a pension scheme in respect of the individual or otherwise (by an employer of the individual or any other person) to secure an increase in the amount of benefits to which the individual or any person who is a dependant of, or is connected with, the individual is actually or prospectively entitled under a pension scheme.

(c) 30% in relation to so much (if any) of that amount as, when so added, exceeds the higher rate limit.

(2) But where the individual's gross income for the tax year is less than £180,000, the percentages in subsection (1)(b) and (c) are each reduced (but to no less than 0%) by 1 percentage point for every £1,000 by which it is less than £180,000.

(3) The individual's reduced net income for the tax year is the amount after taking step 3 in section 23 of ITA 2007 in the case of the individual for the tax year.

(4) Where the basic rate limit or the higher rate limit for the tax year is (in accordance with section 192 of this Act and section 414 of ITA 2007) increased in the case of the individual, the references to the limit in subsection (1) are to the limit as so increased.

213F Total pension savings amount

(b) the amount of the annual allowance for the tax year,

the total pension savings amount in the case of the individual for the tax year is reduced by the amount of the excess.

(5) The Treasury may by regulations make provision—

(a) for an arrangement relating to the individual to be left out of account in arriving at the total pension savings amount in the case of the individual for a tax year if the individual meets the condition in subsection (6) throughout the tax year and such conditions as are prescribed by the regulations are met, and

(b) for modifying the operation of any of the provisions relating to the high income excess relief charge in relation to an arrangement relating to the individual for a tax year if the individual meets the condition in subsection (6) for only part of the tax year and such conditions as are prescribed by the regulations are met.

(6) The condition in this subsection, in relation to the individual and an arrangement under a pension scheme, is that the individual is a deferred member of the pension scheme (or would be if it were the only arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the individual).

213L Age-related factors

213L (1) The Treasury must make regulations about age-related factors.

(2) Different provision may be made in relation to rights age-related factors and lump sum age-related factors, on the one hand, and pension age-related factors on the other.

(3) For the purposes of sections 213H and 213J the “appropriate” age-related factor is the age-related factor which applies in the case of the individual, and the amount of the rights or lump sum, or rate of the pension, in accordance with the regulations.

(4) Regulations under subsection (1) must make provision for the age-related factor or factors applying in the case of the individual to be arrived at by reference to—

(a) the age of the individual, and

(b) the relevant normal pension age,

at the relevant time.

(5) The relevant time, in relation to factors for a tax year, is the end of the tax year unless the case is one in which there is a change in the relevant normal pension age during the tax year.

(6) In that case, the relevant time, in relation to the relevant normal pension age and the opening rights, opening pension or opening lump sum for the tax year, is the end of the previous tax year.

(7) Regulations under subsection (1) may make provision for the age-related factor or factors applying in the case of an individual and an arrangement to vary according to the nature and extent of the benefits which may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement.

(8) Before making the first regulations under subsection (1) the Treasury must seek advice from the Government Actuary or the Deputy Government Actuary.

(9) Before making any other regulations under subsection (1) the Treasury must carry out a review of the provision made by the regulations for the time being in force under this section; and when conducting such a review the Treasury must seek advice from the Government Actuary or the Deputy Government Actuary.

(10) The Treasury must carry out a review of the provision made by the regulations for the time being in force under subsection (1)—

(a) no later than the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the first regulations are made under this section, and

(b) no later than the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the last review of the provision made by the regulations for the time being in force under this section.

(11) In this section “the relevant normal pension age”, in relation to an individual and an arrangement, means the age at which the individual would be unconditionally entitled to benefits under the arrangement without any reduction on account of age (assuming that the individual were a deferred member of the pension scheme under which it is an arrangement and it were the only arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the individual).

(12) But the Treasury may by regulations make provision for the relevant normal pension age to be the age specified in, or determined in accordance with, the regulations in cases of such descriptions as are specified in the regulations.

(13) The Treasury may by regulations make provision modifying the operation of sections 213H to 213K in relation to cases where the relevant normal pension age in relation to an individual and an arrangement is not the same in relation to all the rights or benefits under the arrangement.

213M Uprating of opening rights, pension and lump sum

213M (1) This section applies for uprating UOR under section 213H and UOP and UOLS under section 213J.

(2) Each is to be increased by the appropriate percentage.

(3) The appropriate percentage for a tax year is the percentage arrived at for the tax year in accordance with provision made by order made by the Treasury.

(4) An order under subsection (3)—

(a) must make provision for securing that the appropriate percentage for a tax year reflects any decrease in the value of money over a specified period, and

(b) may do so by reference to any movement in a specified index, or an average of any movements in specified indices, over a specified period.

(5) If an order is made under subsection (3) which amends any provision included in an order by virtue of subsection (4)(b), the Treasury must as soon as reasonably practicable after the making of the order carry out a review of the provision made by the regulations for the time being in force under section 213L(1).

213N Hybrid arrangements

213N (1) The pension savings amount in respect of a hybrid arrangement is the greater or greatest of such of amounts A, B and C as are relevant amounts.

(2) An amount is a relevant amount in the case of a hybrid arrangement if, in any circumstances, the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement may be benefits of the variety mentioned in the definition of that amount.

(3) Amount A is what would be the pension savings amount under section 213G if the benefits provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement were money purchase benefits other than cash balance benefits.

(4) Amount B is what would be the pension savings amount under section 213H if the benefits provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement were cash balance benefits.

(5) Amount C is what would be the pension savings amount under section 213J if the benefits provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement were defined benefits.

213O Anti-avoidance

213O (1) This section applies if a high income excess relief charge scheme applies in the case of the individual for the tax year.

(2) A scheme is a high income excess relief charge scheme if in the case of the individual for the tax year conditions A to C are met.

(a) an increase in the individual's gross income or relevant income, or the total pension savings amount in the case of the individual, for a different tax year, or

(b) the provision at any time of some other benefit to or for the benefit of the individual or any person who is a dependant of, or is connected with, the individual.

(6) The individual is to be treated for the purposes of the high income excess relief charge as if—

(a) the individual's gross income and relevant income for the tax year, and

(b) the total pension savings amount in the case of the individual for the tax year,

were what they would be apart from the scheme.

(7) In this section “scheme” includes any arrangement, agreement, understanding, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

(8) Section 993 of ITA 2007 (meaning of “connected” persons) applies for the purposes of subsection (5).

213P Power to make regulations about charge

(2) Amount 1 is the total amount of any unrelieved qualifying expenditure in respect of plant and machinery contained in—

(a) single asset pools,

(b) class pools, or

(c) the main pool,

which is available to be carried forward (in accordance with section 59) from the old period and used in calculating the profits of the relevant trade.

(3) Amount 2 is the total of any qualifying expenditure incurred on the provision of a ship for the purposes of the relevant trade which, at the end of the old period, is unrelieved by virtue of notice having been given under section 130.

(4) For the purposes of this Part the amount of unrelieved qualifying expenditure contained in any pool which is available to be carried forward (in accordance with section 59) from the old period and used in calculating the profits of the relevant trade is to be calculated on the assumptions—

(a) that any qualifying expenditure that could have been (but was not) allocated to the pool before the end of the old period had been so allocated at the end of the old period,

(b) that any qualifying expenditure prevented from being allocated to the pool by section 58(5) had been so allocated at the end of the old period, and

(c) that any transaction taking place on the relevant day that has the effect of reducing the amount of unrelieved qualifying expenditure in the pool had not taken place.

(5) Where condition C in section 212C is met—

(a) references in subsection (2) to any unrelieved qualifying expenditure in respect of plant and machinery contained in a pool which is available to be carried forward (in accordance with section 59) from the old period and used in calculating the profits of the relevant trade, and

(b) the reference in subsection (3) to any qualifying expenditure incurred on the provision of a ship for the purposes of the relevant trade which, at the end of the old period, is unrelieved by virtue of notice having been given under section 130,

are to what it would have been but for the qualifying change.

(6) In this section “the old period” means the period which is the old period for the purposes of section 212O (or would be if this Chapter applied): see section 212N(3).

(7) The plant and machinery in respect of which there is unrelieved qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in subsection (2), or qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in subsection (3), is referred to in the following provisions as “the relevant plant and machinery”.

212L Balance sheet value

(1) BSV is the balance sheet value of the relevant plant and machinery and is to be found by adding together the amounts (if any) which would be shown in respect of it in the appropriate balance sheet of C or P.

(2) For this purpose the amounts shown in the appropriate balance sheet in respect of the relevant plant or machinery are—

(a) the amounts shown in that balance sheet as the net book value (or carrying amount) in respect of it, and

(b) the amounts shown in that balance sheet as the net investment in respect of finance leases of it.

(3) If—

(a) any of the relevant plant or machinery is a fixture in any land, and

(b) the amount which falls (or would fall) to be shown in the appropriate balance sheet as the net book value (or carrying amount) of the land would include an amount in respect of the fixture,

the amount of the net book value (or carrying amount) in respect of the fixture is determined on a just and reasonable basis.

(4) If—

(a) any of the relevant plant or machinery is subject to a finance lease, and

(b) any land or asset which is not plant or machinery is subject to that lease,

the amount of the net investment in respect of the finance lease of that plant or machinery is determined on a just and reasonable basis.

(5) In this section any reference to any amount shown in the appropriate balance sheet of C or P is the amount which, assuming that a balance sheet of C or P were drawn up in accordance with subsection (6), would fall to be shown in that balance sheet.

(6) A balance sheet is drawn up in accordance with this subsection if it is drawn up in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice so as to reflect the position as at the beginning of the relevant day but adjusted to reflect the disposal of any of the relevant plant or machinery which is disposed of on the relevant day.

(7) In this section—

• “finance lease” means a lease which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a finance lease or loan in accounts of C or P;

• “fixture”—

  (a)

  means any plant or machinery that is so installed or otherwise fixed in or to a building or other description of land as to become, in law, part of that building or other land, and

  (b)

  includes any boiler or water-filled radiator installed in a building as part of a space or water heating system.

Unallowable purpose U.K.

212M Unallowable purpose

(1) The qualifying change has an unallowable purpose if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of change arrangements is to obtain a relevant tax advantage (for any person).

(2) “Change arrangements” means any arrangements made to bring about, or otherwise connected with, the qualifying change; and “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

(3) “Obtain a relevant tax advantage” means become entitled to a reduction in profits, or an increase in losses, for the purposes of corporation tax in consequence of a claim to allowances in respect of qualifying expenditure in respect of the relevant plant and machinery or qualifying expenditure within section 212K(3).

What happens when Chapter applies U.K.

212N Old and new accounting periods

(1) The accounting period of C which is current on the relevant day ends with that day and a new accounting period of C begins with the following day (but subject to subsection (2)).

(2) In a case in which condition A, B or D in section 212C is met and the relevant trade was, at the beginning of the relevant day, carried on by C in partnership with another company or other companies subsection (1) does not apply but—

(a) the period which, for the purposes of Part 17 of CTA 2009, is the accounting period of the partnership current on the relevant day ends with that day, and

(b) there begins with the following day a new accounting period—

(i) of the partnership, or

(ii) where condition D is met and C's relevant percentage share in the relevant trade is nil after the qualifying change, of the company or partnership by which the relevant trade is carried on after the relevant change.

(3) For the purposes of section 212O “the old period” means the accounting period of C or the partnership in which C carries on the relevant trade which ends with the relevant day.

(4) For the purposes of section 212P “the new period” means the accounting period—

(a) of C or that partnership, or

(b) where condition D is met and C's relevant percentage share in the relevant trade is nil after the qualifying change, of the company or partnership by which the relevant trade is carried on after the relevant change,

which begins with the following day.

212O When there is excess of allowances in pool: amount of excess

(1) Section 212P has effect where C or P has an excess of allowances in any single asset pool, any class pool or the main pool at the end of the old period; and a pool in the case of which there is an excess of allowances is referred to in this section and section 212P as a “relevant pool”.

(2) For the purposes of this section C or P has an excess of allowances in a pool if—

(3) In this section and section 212Q—

• PA, in relation to a pool, is the amount specified in section 212K(2) in relation to the pool, and

• BSVP, in relation to a pool, is so much of BSV as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, it is appropriate to attribute to the pool.

(4) For the purposes of section 212P the amount of the excess of allowances in relation to any relevant pool (“the relevant pool in question”) is the difference between PA and BSVP.

(5) But if, in relation to any other pool—

what would otherwise be the amount of the excess of allowances in relation to the relevant pool in question for the purposes of section 212P is reduced by so much of the difference between BSVP and PA as is not taken into account under this subsection in relation to another relevant pool or under section 212Q(8).

212P Effect of excess of allowances on pools

(1) The unrelieved qualifying expenditure in each relevant pool is to be taken to be reduced at the beginning of the new period by the amount of the excess of allowances in relation to the pool.

(2) The amount of the excess of allowances is to be treated from the beginning of the new period as if it were qualifying expenditure in a new pool of the same description as the relevant pool (and so subject to the same provisions of this Part, other than this Chapter).

(3) Where, following the qualifying change, a person ceases to carry on a trade (or part of a trade) and C begins to carry on (whether or not in partnership) the activities of that trade (or part of a trade) as part of its trade, for the purposes of claiming any allowance in respect of qualifying expenditure in the new pool the carrying on of those activities by C is to be regarded as the carrying on of a separate trade.

(4) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure in the new pool may not be set off under section 37 of CTA 2010 (trade loss relief against total profits of same or earlier accounting period) otherwise than against the profits of a qualifying activity carried on by C, or any company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day.

(5) And the amount of such a loss which may be so set off by any person is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the person but for the qualifying change.

(6) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure in the new pool may not be set off by way of group relief in accordance with Part 5 of CTA 2010 (surrender of losses by way of group relief) by a company (“the claimant company”) unless it would have been available for such set off but for the qualifying change.

(7) And the amount of such a loss which is available for such set off by the claimant company is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the claimant company but for the qualifying change.

(8) Where any activity not carried on by C, or a company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day would otherwise be regarded for the purposes of corporation tax as forming part of a qualifying activity carried on by C or the member of P at that time it is not to be so regarded for the purposes of subsection (4).

(9) In a case in which condition C in section 212C is met, the references in subsections (1) and (2) to the beginning of the new period are to the time of the qualifying change (and section 948 of CTA 2010 has effect subject to this section).

212Q When there are postponed capital allowances

(1) This section has effect where C or P has relevant postponed capital allowances.

(2) C or P has relevant postponed capital allowances if amount 2 in section 212K(3) is an amount other than nil.

(3) Where, following the qualifying change, a person ceases to carry on a trade (or part of a trade) and C begins to carry on (whether or not in partnership) the activities of that trade (or part of a trade) as part of its trade, for the purposes of claiming any allowance in respect of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) the carrying on of those activities by C is to be regarded as the carrying on of a separate trade.

(4) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) may not be set off under section 37 of CTA 2010 otherwise than against the profits of a qualifying activity carried on by C, or any company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day.

(5) And the amount of such a loss which may be so set off by any person is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the person but for the qualifying change.

(6) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) may not be set off by way of group relief in accordance with Part 5 of CTA 2010 by a company (“the claimant company”) unless it would have been available for such set off but for the qualifying change.

(7) And the amount of such a loss which is available for such set off by the claimant company is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the claimant company but for the qualifying change.

(8) If, in relation to any pool—

what would otherwise be the amount of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) is to be treated for the purposes of this section as reduced by so much of the difference between BSVP and PA in relation to the pool as is not taken into account under section 212O(5) in relation to a relevant pool.

(9) Where any activity not carried on by C, or a company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day would otherwise be regarded for the purposes of corporation tax as forming part of a qualifying activity carried on by C or the member of P at that time it is not to be so regarded for the purposes of subsection (4).

212R Apportionment of proceeds of disposal of relevant plant and machinery

Any amount required to be brought into account in connection with a disposal event in respect of any relevant plant and machinery is to be apportioned between the new pool and the relevant pool concerned on a just and reasonable basis.

212S Transactions on relevant day

(1) This section applies if any plant and machinery is transferred on the relevant day and (apart from subsection (4)(c) of section 212K) the transfer would have the effect of reducing RTWDV (as determined in accordance with that section).

(2) No person other than C or P is entitled to claim an allowance in respect of the plant or machinery after the transfer.”

3 U.K. For the heading of Chapter 17 substitute “ Other anti-avoidance ”.

4 U.K. Section 247 (giving effect to allowances and charges: trades) is renumbered as subsection (1) of that section; and after that subsection insert—

“(2) See Chapter 16A for provision restricting in certain circumstances the ways in which effect may be given to an allowance by virtue of subsection (1)(a).”

5 U.K. The amendments made by this Schedule have effect where the relevant day is on or after 21 July 2009.

6 U.K. But in relation to cases where the relevant day is before 9 December 2009 the amendment made by paragraph 2 has effect—

(a) with the omission of section 212C(2)(b),

(b) as if in section 212K(1) “which is amount 1” were substituted for “ and is to be found by adding together amounts 1 and 2 ”,

Restriction of qualifying expenditure U.K.

1 (1) In Chapter 17 of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery: anti-avoidance), after section 228M insert— U.K.

“228MA Restriction of qualifying expenditure

(1) This section applies where capital expenditure is incurred on the provision of plant or machinery (“the asset”) and at the time the expenditure is incurred—

(a) the asset is leased or arrangements exist under which it is to be leased, and

(b) arrangements have been entered into in relation to payments under the lease that have the effect of reducing the value of the asset to the lessor (“V”).

(2) For the purposes of capital allowances the lessor's qualifying expenditure on the asset is restricted to V.

(3) The value of the asset to the lessor is given by—

where—

VI is the present value of the lessor's income from the asset, and

VR is the present value of the residual value of the asset reduced by the amount of any rental rebate.

(4) For this purpose—

(a) the lessor's income from the asset is the total of all the amounts that—

(i) have been received by the lessor, or it is reasonable to expect the lessor will receive, in connection with the lease, and

(ii) have been brought into account by the lessor, or it is reasonable to expect the lessor will bring into account, as income in computing profits chargeable to tax, and

(b) the residual value of the asset is what it is reasonable to expect will be the market value of the lessor's interest in the asset immediately after the termination of the lease.

(5) In determining the lessor's income from the asset, exclude—

(a) disposal receipts brought, or to be brought, into account under Part 2, and

(b) so much of any amount as represents charges for services or qualifying UK or foreign tax (within the meaning of section 70YE) to be paid by the lessor.

(6) Where capital expenditure has previously been incurred by the lessor on the provision of the asset, the reference in subsection (2) to the lessor's qualifying expenditure on the asset is to be read as a reference to the total amount of the lessor's qualifying expenditure on the asset.

(7) The following provisions supplement this section—

(a) section 228MB provides for the calculation of “present value”, and

(b) section 228MC defines what is meant by a rental rebate.

(8) In this section and sections 228MB and 228MC “lease” includes any arrangements which provide for plant or machinery to be leased or otherwise made available by a person (“the lessor”) to another person (“the lessee”).

228MB Calculation of present value

(1) For the purposes of section 228MA the “present value” of an amount is to be calculated by using the interest rate implicit in the lease.

(2) The general rule is that the interest rate implicit in the lease is the interest rate that would apply in accordance with normal commercial criteria, including, in particular, generally accepted accounting practice (where applicable).

(3) If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined in accordance with subsection (2), it is taken to be 1% above LIBOR.

(4) For this purpose—

(a) LIBOR means the London interbank offered rate on the relevant day for deposits for a term of 12 months in the relevant currency,

(b) the relevant day is the day on which the lease was entered into (or if that was not a business day, the first business day after that day), and

(c) the relevant currency is the currency in which rentals under the lease are payable.

228MC Rental rebate

(1) For the purposes of section 228MA “rental rebate” means any sum payable to the lessee that is calculated by reference to the termination value of the asset.

(2) The general rule is that the termination value of an asset is the value of the asset at or about the time when the lease terminates.

(3) Calculation by reference to the termination value includes calculation by reference to any one or more of—

(a) the proceeds of sale, if the asset is sold,

(b) any insurance proceeds, compensation or similar sums in respect of the asset, and

(c) an estimate of the market value of the asset.

(4) Calculation by reference to the termination value also includes—

(a) determination in a way which, or by reference to factors or criteria which, might reasonably be expected to produce a broadly similar result to calculation by reference to the termination value, or

(b) any other form of calculation indirectly by reference to the termination value.”

(2) The amendment made by sub-paragraph (1) has effect in relation to capital expenditure incurred on or after 9 December 2009.

(ii) so much of any amount as represents charges for services or qualifying UK or foreign tax (within the meaning of section 70YE of that Act) to be paid by the lessor, and

(b) the finance charge, in relation to a finance lease, is—

(i) if the lease is one that, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan, so much of the rentals under the lease as fall (or would fall) to be treated as interest, or

(ii) in any other case, the amount that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as the gross return on investment.

(5) Where the asset is acquired by the lessor in a transaction in relation to which an election is made under section 266 of CAA 2001 (election where predecessor and successor are connected persons), this section applies as if the successor had been the lessor at all material times and everything done to or by the predecessor had been done to or by the successor.

(6) Where the whole or part of a rental rebate is disallowed under this section as a deduction in computing profits—

(a) the amount disallowed, or

(b) if less, the amount by which the rental rebate exceeds the amount of capital expenditure incurred by the lessor,

may be treated for the purposes of capital gains tax as an allowable loss accruing to the lessor on the termination of the lease.

That allowable loss is deductible only from chargeable gains accruing to the lessor on the disposal of the asset.

(7) This section does not apply to a long funding finance lease (see section 148C).”

“Schedule 8A U.K. Foreign currency bank accounts

Introductory U.K.

1 (1) This Schedule applies where—

(a) an individual makes a disposal of a debt to which section 252(1) applies (“the relevant disposal”),

(b) the debt (“the section 252 debt”) is not situated in the United Kingdom, and

(c) money or money's worth which is remitted foreign income (“the section 37 amount”) is excluded under section 37 from the consideration for the relevant disposal.

(2) For this purpose “remitted foreign income” means income of the individual which is chargeable to income tax on the alternative basis of charge set out in Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 (remittance basis).

(3) In determining whether the condition in sub-paragraph (1)(c) is met, the following provisions of this Schedule are to be ignored.

Section 37 operates to exclude the whole consideration U.K.

2 (1) This paragraph applies where the section 37 amount constitutes the whole of the unreduced consideration.

(2) If the relevant disposal is a part disposal of the section 252 debt, section 42 applies as if the reference in subsection (2)(a) of that section to the consideration for the disposal were a reference to the unreduced consideration for the disposal.

(3) Any loss accruing to the individual on the relevant disposal is not an allowable loss.

Section 37 operates to exclude part of the consideration U.K.

3 (1) This paragraph applies where the section 37 amount constitutes part of the unreduced consideration.

(2) For the purposes of this Act the relevant disposal is to be treated as if it were—

(a) a disposal of so much of the section 252 debt as is represented by the section 37 proportion of the sum mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) (“debt A”), and

(b) a separate disposal of so much of the section 252 debt as is represented by the remainder of that sum (“debt B”).

(3) That sum is—

(a) if the relevant disposal is a disposal of the whole of the section 252 debt, the sum referred to in section 252(1), and

(b) if the relevant disposal is a part disposal of that debt, the proportion of the sum referred to in section 252(1) to which that part disposal relates.

(4) Sub-paragraphs (5) to (9) apply for the purposes of—

(a) the computation of the gain accruing on the disposals under sub-paragraph (2), and

(b) the application of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of this Act in relation to the part of the debt (if any) which remains undisposed of.

(5) The consideration for the disposal (before any exclusion under section 37) is—

(a) in the case of debt A, the section 37 amount, and

(b) in the case of debt B, the remainder of the unreduced consideration.

(6) If the relevant disposal is not a part disposal of the section 252 debt—

(a) the section 37 proportion of the debt costs and the disposal costs is to be attributed to debt A, and

(b) the remaining debt costs and disposal costs are to be attributed to debt B.

(7) Sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) apply if the relevant disposal is a part disposal of the section 252 debt.

(8) Section 42(2) applies as if it provided for the debt costs to be apportioned between debt A, debt B and the remainder of the section 252 debt in the proportions which those parts of the section 252 debt bear to one another.

(9) The section 37 proportion of the disposal costs is to be attributed to debt A and the remaining disposal costs are to be attributed to debt B.

(10) Any loss accruing to the individual on the disposal of debt A is not an allowable loss.

Interpretation U.K.

4 In this Schedule—

• “debt costs” means the sums which under section 38(1)(a) and (b) are attributable to the section 252 debt;

• “disposal costs” means the costs within section 38(1)(c) in relation to the relevant disposal;

• “the section 252 debt”, “the relevant disposal” and “the section 37 amount” are to be construed in accordance with paragraph 1;

• “the section 37 proportion” means the proportion of the unreduced consideration which constitutes the section 37 amount;

• “the unreduced consideration” means the consideration for the relevant disposal ignoring the exclusion of the section 37 amount.”

3 U.K. The amendments made by this Schedule have effect in relation to disposals on or after 16 December 2009.

(a) section 400 applies in relation to an amount to be brought into account for an accounting period of a company (“company A”) in respect of a security, and

(b) conditions 1 to 3 are met.

(2) Condition 1 is that company A is a party to a relevant hedging scheme at any time in the accounting period.

(3) Condition 2 is that there is an increase in the retail prices index between the times mentioned in subsection (1) of section 400.

(a) in a case in which the index-linked capital return on the security in the accounting period is wholly hedged, to nil, and

(b) in a case in which only a proportion of that return is hedged, by the same proportion.

(6) For the purposes of this section “a relevant hedging scheme” means a scheme the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of any party to which, on entering into the scheme, is to secure that the index-linked capital return on the security, or a proportion of it, is hedged.

(7) For the purposes of this section the “index-linked capital return” of the security is so much of the return on the security as—

(b) is attributable to an increase in the retail prices index.

(8) For the purposes of this section the index-linked capital return on the security, or any proportion of that return, is “hedged” if (whether because of the operation of a swap or otherwise) the pre-tax economic profit or loss made by the relevant group or company in the accounting period is unaffected by it.

(9) In subsection (8) “the relevant group or company” means—

(a) company A and every other company that is at any time in the accounting period—

(i) associated with company A, and

400B Interpretation of section 400A: economic profits and losses

(1) A reference in section 400A to an “economic” profit or loss made by any person in a period is to a profit or loss made by that person in that period, computed taking into account unrealised (as well as realised) profits and losses.

(2) For the purposes of section 400A an economic profit or loss is made by a group of companies if it is made by the members of the group considered together.

(3) In determining for the purposes of section 400A the amount of an economic profit or loss made by a group of companies in any period, the economic profits and losses of each member of the group are to be computed over that period (whether or not that period is an accounting period of the member).

(4) A reference in section 400A to a “pre-tax” economic profit or loss is a reference to an economic profit or loss determined disregarding any gain or loss made as a result of the operation of any provision of the Corporation Tax Acts.

400C Meaning of “associated with”

(1) For the purposes of section 400A, a company (“company B”) is associated with company A at a time (“the relevant time”) during an accounting period of company A (“the accounting period”) if any of the following five conditions is met.

(b) at the relevant time the third company has a major interest in company B.

(7) In this paragraph the financial results of any two companies for any period meet “the consolidation condition” if—

“Part 21A U.K. Risk transfer schemes

Introduction U.K.

937A Overview

This Part contains rules about the treatment of certain losses made by companies as a result of risk transfer schemes.

937B Group schemes and single company schemes

(1) A risk transfer scheme may be—

(a) a group scheme, or

(b) a risk transfer scheme other than a group scheme (a “single-company scheme”).

(2) A risk transfer scheme to which a company (“company A”) is a party is a “group scheme” if at least one company other than company A is at any time both—

(a) associated with company A, and

(b) a party to the scheme.

(3) In this Part “the relevant group” means—

(a) company A, and

(b) each company other than company A in relation to which the condition in subsection (2) is met.

(4) In its application in relation to single company schemes, this Part applies subject to the following modifications.

(5) The modifications are that—

(a) references to the relevant group, a member of the relevant group, or the members of the relevant group, are treated as references to company A, and

(b) sections 937E(2) and 937L(2) are treated as omitted.

Basic definitions U.K.

937C Meaning of “risk transfer scheme”

(1) A scheme to which a company (“company A”) is a party is a “risk transfer scheme” if conditions 1 to 3 are met.

(2) Condition 1 is that the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of any member of the relevant group on entering into the scheme is to obtain a financial advantage for the relevant group that it is reasonable to assume could not otherwise have been obtained without the relevant group becoming subject to (or incurring the cost of avoiding) a relevant risk.

(3) In subsection (2) “a relevant risk” means a risk that the relevant group would make economic losses in one or more accounting periods of company A as a result of fluctuations in—

(a) the rate of exchange between any two currencies,

(b) the retail prices index (or any similar general index of prices) or any other index, or

(c) any price or other value.

(4) Condition 2 is that, as a result of the scheme, and disregarding the effect of this Part, the relevant group—

(a) is not subject to the relevant risk, or

(b) is subject only to a negligible proportion of that risk.

(5) Condition 3 is that, disregarding the effect of the provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts, condition 2 would not be met.

(6) For the purposes of this section the relevant group obtains a “financial advantage” from a scheme if, taking into account the effect of the scheme on each member of the group, the scheme—

(a) increases the return on any investment,

(b) reduces the costs of any borrowing, or

(c) has an effect economically equivalent to that mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).

937D Meaning of “the scheme rate, index or value”

In this Part “the scheme rate, index or value”, in relation to a risk transfer scheme, means the rate, index or value mentioned in section 937C(3)(a), (b) or (c) in relation to the relevant risk for the scheme.

937E Scheme losses and scheme profits

(1) A loss or profit made by a company in an accounting period is a “scheme loss” or “scheme profit” in relation to a risk transfer scheme to which the company is a party at any time in the period if the loss or profit—

(a) is from a loan relationship, or derivative contract, that is part of the scheme,

(b) would, apart from this Part, be brought into account in determining a debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships) or Part 7 of that Act (derivative contracts), and

(c) arises as a result of fluctuations in the scheme rate, index or value.

(2) References in this Part to a scheme loss or scheme profit made by a company in a period that is not an accounting period of that company are to the scheme loss or scheme profit that the company would have made in the period from the loan relationship or derivative contract in question if the period had been an accounting period of the company.

(3) References in this section to a loss or profit from a loan relationship or a derivative contract include—

(a) a loss or profit from a related transaction, and

(b) a loss or profit of a capital nature.

(4) In subsection (3)(a) “related transaction” has the meaning given by—

(a) section 304 of CTA 2009 (in relation to a loan relationship), or

(b) section 596 of that Act (in relation to a derivative contract).

937F Ring-fenced scheme losses and relevant scheme profits

(1) Subsection (2) applies if—

(a) a company makes one or more scheme losses in an accounting period in relation to a risk transfer scheme, and

(b) disregarding any profits or losses made otherwise than as a result of the scheme, the relevant group makes a pre-tax economic loss in the period as a result of fluctuations in the scheme rate, index or value.

(2) The relevant proportion of each scheme loss made by the company in the accounting period is a “ring-fenced scheme loss”.

(3) For this purpose “the relevant proportion” means—

where—

A is the total of the scheme losses made in the period in relation to the scheme by the members of the relevant group,

B is the total of the scheme profits made in the period in relation to the scheme by the members of the relevant group, and

C is the pre-tax economic loss referred to in subsection (1)(b).

(4) Subsection (5) applies if—

(a) a company makes one or more scheme profits in an accounting period in relation to a risk transfer scheme, and

(b) disregarding any profits or losses made otherwise than as a result of the scheme, the relevant group makes a pre-tax economic profit in the period as a result of fluctuations in the scheme rate, index or value.

(5) The relevant proportion of each scheme profit made by the company in the accounting period is a “relevant scheme profit”.

(6) For this purpose “the relevant proportion” means—

where—

A is the total of the scheme profits made in the period in relation to the scheme by the members of the relevant group,

B is the total of the scheme losses made in the period in relation to the scheme by the members of the relevant group, and

C is the pre-tax economic profit referred to in subsection (4)(b).

Treatment of ring-fenced scheme losses U.K.

937G Ring-fenced scheme loss: treatment in period in which made

(1) This section applies for the purpose of determining the amount (if any) of a ring-fenced scheme loss that may be brought into account by a company in the accounting period in which it is made.

(2) If the amount of the company's profits pool for the scheme as at the beginning of the period is nil, the ring-fenced scheme loss may not be brought into account.

(3) If the amount of the company's profits pool for the scheme as at the beginning of the period is—

(a) greater than nil, and

(b) less than the total of the ring-fenced scheme losses made in the period in relation to the scheme by the company,

only the relevant proportion of the ring-fenced scheme loss may be brought into account.

(4) For this purpose “the relevant proportion” means—

where—

A is the amount of the company's profits pool as at the beginning of the period, and

B is the total of the ring-fenced scheme losses made in the period in relation to the scheme by the company.

(5) If the amount of the company's profits pool for the scheme as at the beginning of the period is equal to or greater than the total of the ring-fenced scheme losses made in the period in relation to the scheme by the company, the ring-fenced scheme loss may be brought into account in full.

(6) A reference in this paragraph to bringing a ring-fenced scheme loss into account is to bringing it into account in determining a debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships) or Part 7 of that Act (derivative contracts).

(a) a company makes one or more scheme profits in an accounting period in relation to a risk transfer scheme,

(b) disregarding any profits or losses made otherwise than as a result of the scheme, the relevant group makes a pre-tax economic profit in the period as a result of fluctuations in the scheme rate, index or value, and

(c) the amount of the company's losses pool for the scheme as at the beginning of the period is greater than nil.

(2) The company may bring into account, as if it were a loss made in the period from a loan relationship—

where—

A is so much of the amount of the company's losses pool as at the beginning of the period as does not exceed the total of the relevant scheme profits made in the period in relation to the scheme by the company, and

B is the proportion of the total of the relevant scheme profits made in the period in relation to the scheme by the company that consists of profits made from its loan relationships.

(3) The company may bring into account, as if it were a loss made in the period from a derivative contract—

where—

A has the same meaning as in subsection (2), and

C is the proportion of the total of the relevant scheme profits made in the period in relation to the scheme by the company that consists of profits made from its derivative contracts.

(4) A reference in this section to bringing an amount into account is to bringing it into account in determining a debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships) or Part 7 of that Act (derivative contracts).

A company's losses pool and profits pool U.K.

(a)

the amount of the pool as at the beginning of the previous accounting period, or

if the risk transfer scheme began in the current accounting period, nil,

B is—

(a)

the total of any relevant scheme profits made in the previous accounting period in relation to the scheme by the company, less

(b)

the total amount (if any) that, as a result of the application of section 937H(2) or (3), is brought into account in that accounting period in relation to the scheme by the company, and

General U.K.

937J Tax capacity assumption

(1) This section applies for the purpose of determining whether condition 2 in section 937C is met.

(2) Where a member of the relevant group (“the company”) makes a scheme loss in an accounting period, the economic profits and losses made by the relevant group in the period must be calculated on the assumption that the company obtained the full tax benefit of the loss.

(3) The “full tax benefit” of the loss is the reduction in the corporation tax liability of the company that would result if—

(a) the loss were brought into account, and

(b) the company's profits chargeable to corporation tax, before doing so, were equal to the debit (or the reduction in any credit) determined by reference to the loss.

(4) A reference in this section to bringing a loss into account is to bringing it into account in determining a debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships) or Part 7 of that Act (derivative contracts).

(a) they are required to be comprised in group accounts prepared under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 (duty of certain parent companies to prepare group accounts), or

(b) they would be required to be comprised in such accounts but for the application of an exemption mentioned in subsection (3) of that section.

• sections 466 to 471 of CTA 2009 (companies connected for accounting period), and

• sections 473 and 474 of CTA 2009 (meaning of “major interest”).

937L Interpretation of references to economic losses and profits

(1) A reference in this Part to an “economic” loss or profit made by any person in a period is to a loss or profit made by that person in that period, computed taking into account unrealised (as well as realised) losses and profits.

(2) For the purposes of this Part an economic loss or profit is made “by the relevant group” if it is made by the members of the relevant group considered together.

(3) Where—

(a) any member of the relevant group makes a scheme loss or profit in an accounting period, and

(b) that scheme loss or profit is, under generally accepted accounting practice, calculated by reference to fluctuations in the scheme rate, index or value over a longer period,

the economic loss or profit made by the group in the accounting period as a result of those fluctuations is, so far as it relates to that scheme loss or profit, to be computed over that longer period.

(4) In determining for the purposes of this Part the amount of an economic loss or profit made by the relevant group in any period, the economic losses and profits of each member of the relevant group—

(a) are (subject to subsection (3)) to be computed over that period (whether or not that period is an accounting period of the member), but

(b) are only to be taken into account to the extent that they are attributable to times at which the member is a party to the risk transfer scheme in question.

(5) A reference in this Part to a “pre-tax” economic loss or profit is a reference to an economic loss or profit determined disregarding any loss or gain made as a result of the operation of any provision of the Corporation Tax Acts.

937M Foreign currency accounting

(1) In determining under this Part amounts that a company may or may not bring into account in an accounting period, economic losses and profits are to be computed in the tax calculation currency of that company in that accounting period.

(2) Section 17(5) of CTA 2010 (meaning of references to the tax calculation currency of a company) applies for the purposes of this section.

937N Meaning of “scheme”

In this Part “scheme” includes any scheme, arrangements or understanding of any kind whatever, whether or not legally enforceable, involving a single transaction or two or more transactions.

(c) insert at the end “and

(f) section 313C (duty of introducer to give details of persons who have provided information).”

(4) After that subsection insert—

“(2ZA) In this section “the initial period” means the period—

(a) beginning with the relevant day, and

(b) ending with the earlier of the day on which the penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) is determined and the last day before the failure ceases;

and for this purpose “the relevant day” is the day specified in relation to the failure in the following table.

Failure	Relevant day
A failure to comply with subsection (1) or (3) of section 308 in so far as the subsection applies by virtue of an order under section 306A	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under section 306A(6)
A failure to comply with subsection (1) or (3) of section 308 in so far as the subsection applies by virtue of an order under section 308A(2)	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under subsections (5) and (6)(a) of section 308A (as it may have been extended by a direction under subsection (6)(b) of that section)
Any other failure to comply with subsection (1) of section 308	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
Any other failure to comply with subsection (3) of section 308	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
A failure to comply with subsection (1) of section 309	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
A failure to comply with section 310	The first day after the latest time by which section 310 must be complied with in the case concerned

(2ZB) The amount of a penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) is to be arrived at after taking account of all relevant considerations, including the desirability of its being set at a level which appears appropriate for deterring the person, or other persons, from similar failures to comply on future occasions having regard (in particular)—

(a) in the case of a penalty for a person's failure to comply with section 308(1) or (3), to the amount of any fees received, or likely to have been received, by the person in connection with the notifiable proposal (or arrangements implementing the notifiable proposal), or with the notifiable arrangements, and

(b) in the case of a penalty for a person's failure to comply with section 309(1) or 310, to the amount of any advantage gained, or sought to be gained, by the person in relation to any tax prescribed under section 306(1)(b) in relation to the notifiable arrangements.

(2ZC) If the maximum penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) above appears inappropriately low after taking account of those considerations, the penalty is to be of such amount not exceeding £1 million as appears appropriate having regard to those considerations.

(2ZD) Where it appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs that a penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) above has been determined on the basis that the initial period begins with a day later than that which the officer considers to be the relevant day, an officer of Revenue and Customs may commence proceedings for a re-determination of the penalty.

(2ZE) The Treasury may by regulations vary—

(a) any of the sums for the time being specified in subsection (1) above, and

(b) the sum specified in subsection (2ZC) above.”

(5) In subsection (2A), for “amount specified in subsection (1)(b) above shall be increased to the prescribed sum” substitute “ amounts specified in subsection (1)(a)(i) and (b) above shall be increased to the prescribed sum in relation to days falling after the prescribed period ”.
