C1Pt. 8 Ch. 9 restricted (26.3.2015) by Finance Act 2015 (c. 11), Sch. 13 para. 6(2)
(1)This Chapter sets out how relief for certain expenditure incurred in relation to a cluster area is given by way of reduction of a company's adjusted ring fence profits.
(2)The Chapter includes provision about—
(a)the determination of cluster areas (sections 356JD and 356JDA);
(b)the meaning of investment expenditure (section 356JE);
(c)the generation of allowance by the incurring of relievable investment expenditure in relation to a cluster area (section 356JF);
(d)how allowance is activated by relevant income from the same cluster area (sections 356JH to 356JHB and 356JJ to 356JJB) in order to be available for reducing adjusted ring fence profits (sections 356JG and 356JGA);
(e)the division of an accounting period into reference periods where a company has different shares of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area at different times in the period (section 356JI);
(f)the transfer of allowance where shares of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area are disposed of (sections 356JK to 356JKB);
(g)elections to treat allowance attributable to an unlicensed part of a cluster area as if it were attributable to a licensed area or sub-area in the cluster area (section 356JL).
(1)In this Part “cluster area” means an offshore area which the [F2OGA] determines to be a cluster area.
(2)A cluster area is treated as not including any previously authorised oil field (or any part of such an oil field) (see section 356JDA).
(3)An area is “offshore” for the purposes of this section if the whole of it lies on the seaward side of the baselines from which the territorial sea of the United Kingdom is measured.
(4)Before determining an area to be a cluster area the [F2OGA] must—
(a)give written notice of the proposed determination to every person who is a licensee in respect of a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in the proposed cluster area and to any other licensee whose interests appear to the [F2OGA] to be affected, and
(b)publish a notice of the proposed determination on a website that is, and indicates that it is, kept by or on behalf of the [F2OGA].
(5)The [F2OGA] must consider any representations made in writing and within 30 days of the date of the publication of the notice under subsection (4)(b) (or, in the case of representations made by a person to whom notice is given under subsection (4)(a), within 30 days of receipt of the notice, if later).
(6)A determination under this section—
(a)has effect from the day on which it is published,
(b)may be in any form the [F2OGA] thinks appropriate, and
(c)must assign to the cluster area an identifying number or other designation.
(7)After making a determination the [F2OGA] must—
(a)give written notice of the determination to every person who is a licensee in respect of a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in the cluster area and any other person to whom notice of the proposed determination was given;
(b)publish a notice of the determination on a website that is, and indicates that it is, kept by or on behalf of the [F2OGA].
(8)The [F2OGA] may vary or revoke a determination made under this section, and subsections (4), (5), (6)(a) and (b) and (7) are to apply as if the variation or revocation were a new determination.

(1)In section 356JD “previously authorised oil field”, in relation to a cluster area, means an oil field, other than a decommissioned oil field, whose development (in whole or in part) was authorised for the first time before the relevant day.
(2)An oil field is a “decommissioned oil field” in relation to a cluster area if, immediately before the relevant day, all assets of the oil field which are relevant assets have been decommissioned.
(3)In this section, “relevant day”, in relation to an oil field and a cluster area, means the date of publication of the first determination, or variation of a determination, under section 356JD as a result of which the oil field is (ignoring section 356JD(2)) wholly or partly included in the cluster area.
(4)Sub-paragraphs (2) to (9) of paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 to OTA 1975 apply for the purpose of determining whether relevant assets of an oil field are decommissioned as they apply for the purpose of determining whether qualifying assets of a relevant area are decommissioned.
(5)For the purposes of this section, an asset is a relevant asset of an oil field if—
(a)it has at any time been a qualifying asset (within the meaning of the Oil Taxation Act 1983) in relation to any participator in the field, and
(b)it has at any time been used for the purpose of winning oil from the field.
(6)In this section references to authorisation of development of an oil field are to be interpreted in accordance with section 356IB.
(7)See also paragraph 5 of Schedule 13 to FA 2015, as a result of which certain proposed determinations made before the day on which that Act is passed are treated as made under section 356JD for the purposes of this Chapter.
(1)For the purposes of this Chapter, expenditure incurred by a company is “investment” expenditure only if it is—
(a)capital expenditure, or
(b)expenditure of such other description as may be prescribed by the Treasury by regulations.
(2)Regulations under subsection (1)(b) may provide for any of the provisions of the regulations to have effect in relation to expenditure incurred before the regulations are made.
(3)But subsection (2) does not apply to any provision of amending or revoking regulations which has the effect that expenditure of any description ceases to be investment expenditure.
(4)Regulations under subsection (1)(b) may—
(a)make different provision for different purposes;
(b)make transitional provision and savings.
(1)Subsection (2) applies where a company—
(a)is a licensee in a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in a cluster area, and
(b)incurs any relievable investment expenditure on or after 3 December 2014 in relation to the cluster area.
(2)The company is to hold an amount of allowance equal to 62.5% of the amount of the expenditure.
Allowance held under this Chapter is called “cluster area allowance”.
(3)For the purposes of this section investment expenditure incurred by a company is “relievable” only if, and so far as, it is incurred for the purposes of oil-related activities (see section 274).
(4)Subsections (1) to (3) are subject to section 356JFA (which prevents expenditure on the acquisition of an asset from being relievable in certain circumstances).
(5)Cluster area allowance is said in this Chapter to be “generated” at the time when the investment expenditure is incurred (see section 356JN) and is referred to as being generated—
(a)“by” the company concerned;
(b)“in” the cluster area concerned.
(6)Where—
(a)investment expenditure is incurred only partly for the purposes of oil-related activities, or
(b)the oil-related activities for the purposes of which investment expenditure is incurred are carried on only partly in relation to a particular cluster area,
the expenditure is to be attributed to the activities or area concerned on a just and reasonable basis.
(1)Investment expenditure incurred by a company (“the acquiring company”) on the acquisition of an asset is not relievable expenditure for the purposes of section 356JF if either of the disqualifying conditions in this section applies to the asset.
(2)The first disqualifying condition is that investment expenditure incurred before the acquisition, by the acquiring company or another company, in acquiring, [F3leasing,] bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset was relievable under section 356JF.
(3)The second disqualifying condition is that—
(a)the asset—
(i)is the whole or part of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area, or
(ii)is acquired in connection with a transfer to the acquiring company of the whole or part of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area,
(b)expenditure was incurred, at any time before the acquisition, by the acquiring company or another company, in acquiring, [F4leasing,] bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset, and
(c)any of that expenditure—
(i)related to the cluster area, and
(ii)would have been relievable under section 356JF if this Chapter had applied to expenditure incurred at that time.
(4)For the purposes of subsection (3)(a)(ii), it does not matter whether the asset is acquired at the time of the transfer.
[F5(5)In this section any reference to expenditure which was incurred by a company in “leasing” an asset is to expenditure incurred by the company under an agreement under which the asset was leased to the company.]

(10)If the company has entered into any arrangements the purpose, or one of the main purposes of which is—

(b)to advance the time at which any income falls within that provision,
any income arising in connection with the arrangement is not regarded as a tariff receipt for the purposes of subsection (3)(b).
