[F8 357YDA Life insurance companies: amounts representing policyholder income U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(a) an amount of interest paid or payable by the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs would (but for this section) be restitution interest arising to a company, and

(b) were this Part not to have effect, that amount would be taken into account under section 73 of FA 2012 (the I-E basis) as income chargeable for an accounting period of the company that is referable to its basic life assurance and general annuity business.

(2) So much (if any) of the amount as represents policyholder income is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it were not restitution interest.

(3) To determine how much (if any) of the amount mentioned in subsection (1) (amount “A”) represents policyholder income, take the following steps—

Step 1

(a) Take so much of amount A as consists of non-ACT interest (“the non-ACT amount”).

(b) Determine how much (in total) of the non-ACT amount is to be assigned to with-profits funds (one or more) of the company.

Call this total amount “P”.

In this step “non-ACT interest” means interest which is not interest in respect of advance corporation tax.

Step 2

Determine how much of P is to be assigned to each of the with-profits funds concerned.

This is the “assignable amount” in the case of each fund.

Step 3

In the case of each fund mentioned in step 2, determine in what proportions profits of the fund concerned are to be divided between policyholders and shareholders under the distribution policy for the fund.

Step 4

Express the policyholders’ proportion (as determined under step 3) as a percentage of the whole.

This is the “policyholder percentage” for the fund.

Step 5

Multiply each assignable amount by the policyholder percentage for the fund in question.

The result is the “policyholder amount” in the case of each fund.

Step 6

Amount A “represents policyholder income” so far as it does not exceed the total policyholder amounts found under step 5.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (3) “the distribution policy for the fund” means the basis on which the company has decided profits of the fund are to be divided between policyholders and shareholders.

(5) The distribution policy for a with-profits fund is to be determined as at the time when the interest arises, and with particular reference to—

(a) any relevant information in the company’s articles of association, and

(b) any relevant information or document published by the company in connection with obligations under the FCA Handbook.

(6) In this section—

• “the FCA Handbook” means the Handbook made by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and

• “interest” has the same meaning as in section 357YC.]

(2) Accordingly, references in this Part to amounts recognised for accounting purposes are references to amounts that would have been recognised if GAAP-compliant accounts had been drawn up for the period of account in question and any relevant earlier period.

(3) For this purpose a period of account is relevant to a later period if the accounts for the later period rely to any extent on amounts derived from the earlier period.

(4) In this section “GAAP-compliant accounts” means accounts drawn up in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.

357YG Restitution interest: appeals made out of time U.K.

(1) This section applies where—

(a) an amount of interest (“the interest”) arises to a company as restitution interest for the purposes of this Part,

(b) Condition B in section 357YC is met in relation to the interest as a result of the making by a court of a final determination as mentioned in subsection (3)(a) of that section,

(c) on a late appeal (or a further appeal subsequent to such an appeal) a court reverses that determination, or varies it so as to negative it, and

(d) the determination reversing or varying the determination by virtue of which Condition B was met is itself a final determination.

(2) This Part has effect as if the interest had never been restitution interest.

(3) If—

(a) the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs have under section 357YO(2) deducted a sum representing corporation tax from the interest, or

(b) a sum has been paid as corporation tax in respect of the interest under section 357YQ,

that sum is treated for all purposes as if it had never been paid to, or deducted or held by, the Commissioners as or in respect of corporation tax.

(4) Any adjustments are to be made that are necessary in accordance with this section; and any time limits applying to the making of adjustments are to be ignored.

(5) In this section—

• “final determination” has the same meaning as in section 357YC;

357YH Countering effect of avoidance arrangements U.K.

(1) Any F9 ... tax advantages that would (in the absence of this section) arise from relevant avoidance arrangements are to be counteracted by the making of such adjustments as are just and reasonable in relation to amounts to be brought into account for the purposes of this Part.

(2) Any adjustments required to be made under this section (whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs) may be made by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, amendment or otherwise.

(3) Arrangements are “relevant avoidance arrangements” if their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, is to enable a company to obtain a tax advantage in relation to the application of the charge to tax at the restitution payments rate.

(4) But arrangements are not “relevant avoidance arrangements” if the obtaining of any tax advantages that would (in the absence of section 357YH) arise from them can reasonably be regarded as consistent with wholly commercial arrangements.

(5) “Tax advantage” includes—

(a) a repayment of tax or increased repayment of tax,

(b) the avoidance or reduction of a charge to tax or an assessment to tax,

357YJ Examples of results that may indicate exclusion not applicable U.K.

[F11 (1)] Each of the following is an example of something which might indicate that arrangements whose main purpose, or one of whose main purposes, is to enable a company to obtain a F12 ... tax advantage are not excluded by section 357YI(4) from being “relevant avoidance arrangements” for the purposes of section 357YH—

(a) existing the elimination or reduction for the purposes of this Part of amounts chargeable as restitution interest arising to the company in connection with a particular claim, if for economic purposes other or greater profits arise to the company in connection with the claim;

(b) preventing or delaying the recognition as an item of profit or loss of an amount that would apart from the arrangements be recognised in the company's accounts as an item of profit or loss, or be so recognised earlier;

(c) ensuring that a receipt is treated for accounting purposes in a way in which it would not have been treated in the absence of some other transaction forming part of the arrangements.
