(4)Roll-over relief” means relief under Chapter 7 of Part 8 of CTA 2009 (roll-over relief in case of realisation and reinvestment).

357OFNorthern Ireland element: general ruleU.K.

(1)If a realisation credit or realisation debit arises under section 735 of CTA 2009 (asset written down for tax purposes), its Northern Ireland element is determined by the formula—

where—

A is the amount of the realisation credit or realisation debit;

NI is the total net Northern Ireland debits (see subsection (2));

C is the cost of the asset recognised for tax purposes, as defined by section 742(2) or 743(2) of CTA 2009;

(a)in a case within section 742 of CTA 2009, the total debits previously brought into account for tax purposes under Part 8 of CTA 2009 in respect of the asset so far as they were Northern Ireland intangibles debits for the purposes of this Chapter, less the total credits previously so brought into account for tax purposes so far as they were Northern Ireland intangibles credits for the purposes of this Chapter, or

(b)in a case within section 743 of CTA 2009, the total debits previously brought into account for tax purposes under Part 8 of CTA 2009 in respect of the asset so far as they were Northern Ireland intangibles debits for the purposes of this Chapter.

(3)Subsection (4) applies if—

(a)a realisation credit or realisation debit arises under section 736 of CTA 2009 (asset shown in balance sheet and not written down for tax purposes), or

(b)a realisation credit arises under section 738 of CTA 2009 (asset not shown in balance sheet).

(4)The Northern Ireland element of the realisation credit or realisation debit is such proportion of the realisation credit or realisation debit as can on a just and reasonable basis be attributed to the holding of the asset for the purposes of the relevant Northern Ireland trade.

(5)This section does not apply to a realisation credit if section 357OG (cases involving roll-over relief) applies.

(6)In this section “the relevant Northern Ireland trade” means the qualifying trade carried on by the company in an accounting period in which it was a Northern Ireland company, except so far as the trade consists of an excluded activity.

357OGNorthern Ireland element: credits where roll-over relief involvedU.K.

(1)This section applies if a realisation credit relates to an asset (“the new asset”) whose cost recognised for tax purposes is reduced as a result of roll-over relief previously given on the realisation of another asset (“the old asset”).

(2)To calculate the Northern Ireland element of the realisation credit on the realisation of the new asset, take the following steps—

  • Step 1 Calculate the part (if any) of the realisation credit that is attributable to the total net debits in respect of the new asset.

  • Step 2 Calculate the Northern Ireland element of the result of Step 1 by applying to it the proportion that the total net Northern Ireland debits bears to the total net debits.

  • Step 3 If the realisation credit exceeds the total net debits, calculate any part of the excess that is attributable to the reduction in the cost of the new asset recognised for tax purposes that resulted from the roll-over relief.

  • Step 4 If, in the absence of roll-over relief, a proportion of the realisation credit on the realisation of the old asset would in accordance with section 357OF have been a Northern Ireland element, calculate the Northern Ireland element of the result of Step 3 by applying that proportion to it.

  • Step 5 If any remaining amount of the realisation credit has not been attributed under Step 1 or 3, calculate the Northern Ireland element of that remaining amount by determining how much of that remaining amount can on a just and reasonable basis be attributed to the holding of the new asset for the purposes of the relevant Northern Ireland trade.

(3)The Northern Ireland element of the realisation credit is the total of the Northern Ireland elements calculated at Steps 2, 4 and 5.

(4)In this section—

  • the relevant Northern Ireland trade” means the qualifying trade carried on by the company in an accounting period in which it was a Northern Ireland company, except so far as the trade consists of an excluded activity;

    (b)

    in a case within section 743 of CTA 2009, the total debits previously brought into account for tax purposes under Part 8 of CTA 2009 in respect of the asset;
