Textual Amendments
F1Pt. 9A inserted (17.7.2012) by Finance Act 2012 (c. 14), Sch. 20 para. 1 (with ss. 56-58)
(1)The CFC charge is charged in relation to accounting periods of CFCs in accordance with section 371BC.
(2)Section 371BC applies in relation to a CFC's accounting period if (and only if)—
(a)the CFC has chargeable profits for the accounting period, and
(b)none of the exemptions set out in Chapters 10 to 14 applies for the accounting period.
(3)A CFC's chargeable profits for an accounting period are its assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period determined on the basis—
(a)that the CFC's assumed total profits for the accounting period are limited to only so much of those profits as pass through the CFC charge gateway, and
(b)that amounts are to be relieved against the assumed total profits at step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010 only so far as it is just and reasonable for them to be so relieved having regard to paragraph (a).
(4)“The CFC charge gateway” is explained in section 371BB.
(5)Subsection (3) is subject to section 371SB(7) and (8) (which relates to settlement income included in a CFC's chargeable profits).
(1)Take the following steps to determine the extent to which a CFC's assumed total profits for an accounting period pass through the CFC charge gateway.
Step 1 In accordance with Chapter 3, determine which (if any) of Chapters 4 to 8 apply for the accounting period. If none of those Chapters applies, none of the CFC's assumed total profits pass through the CFC charge gateway and step 2 is not to be taken.
Step 2 Determine the extent to which the CFC's assumed total profits fall within any of the Chapters which applies for the accounting period. The CFC's assumed total profits pass through the CFC charge gateway so far as they fall within any of those Chapters.
(2)Subsection (1) is subject to—
(a)Chapter 9 (exemptions for profits from qualifying loan relationships), and
(b)section 371JE (which provides for adjustments of profits which would otherwise pass through the CFC charge gateway linked to the exemption set out in Chapter 10).
Modifications etc. (not altering text)
C1S. 371BB applied (with modifications) by 2009 c. 4, ss. 18H-18HE (as substituted (17.7.2012) by Finance Act 2012 (c. 14), Sch. 20 para. 6 (with Sch. 20 para. 55(2))
(1)Take the following steps if, as provided for by section 371BA(2), this section applies in relation to a CFC's accounting period.
Step 1 In accordance with Chapter 15, determine the persons (“the relevant persons”) who have relevant interests in the CFC at any time during the accounting period. If none of the relevant persons is a company which meets the UK residence condition (see subsection (2)), the CFC charge is not charged in relation to the accounting period and no further steps are to be taken.
Step 2 In accordance with Chapter 16, determine the CFC's creditable tax for the accounting period.
Step 3 In accordance with Chapter 17, apportion the CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax among the relevant persons.
Step 4 Take each relevant person which is a company meeting the UK residence condition and, in accordance with section 371BD, determine if the company is a chargeable company. If there are no chargeable companies, the CFC charge is not charged in relation to the accounting period and step 5 is not to be taken.
Step 5 The CFC charge is charged on each chargeable company as follows. A sum equal to—
corporation tax at the appropriate rate on P% of the CFC's chargeable profits, less
Q% of the CFC's creditable tax,
is charged on the chargeable company as if it were an amount of corporation tax charged on the company for the relevant corporation tax accounting period. This step is subject to sections 371BG [F2to 371BI] .
(2)A company meets the UK residence condition if it is UK resident at a time during the accounting period when it has a relevant interest in the CFC.
(3)For the purpose of taking step 5 in subsection (1) in relation to a chargeable company (“CC”)—
“the appropriate rate”, subject to [F3subsection (4) and] section 371BH, means—
the rate of corporation tax applicable to CC's profits of the relevant corporation tax accounting period on which corporation tax is chargeable (see section 4(1) and (2) of CTA 2010), or
if there is more than one such rate, the average rate over the whole of the relevant corporation tax accounting period,
“P%” means the percentage of the CFC's chargeable profits apportioned to CC,
“Q%” means the percentage of the CFC's creditable tax apportioned to CC, and
“the relevant corporation tax accounting period” means CC's accounting period for corporation tax purposes during which the CFC's accounting period ends.
[F4(4)In determining “the appropriate rate”, it must be assumed that all of CC's profits of the relevant corporation tax accounting period on which corporation tax is chargeable are chargeable at the main rate rather than the Northern Ireland rate.]

(b)at the relevant time and at all subsequent relevant times, C reasonably believes that the requirement of section 371BD(1) will not be met in relation to it, and
(c)the meeting of that requirement in relation to C is in no way attributable to any step—

(2)“The relevant time” means—
(a)the beginning of the accounting period, or
(b)if C has no relevant interests in the offshore fund at the beginning of the accounting period, the time when C first has a relevant interest during the accounting period.

(2)An additional sum is charged on CC at step 5 in section 371BC(1) and, for this purpose, step 5 is to be taken on the following basis.
(3)That basis is—
(a)in paragraph (a) at step 5, the reference to the appropriate rate is to be read as a reference to—
(i)the policyholders' rate of tax under section 102 of FA 2012 applicable to the I-E profit for the relevant corporation tax accounting period, or
(ii)if there is more than one such rate, the average rate over the whole of the relevant corporation tax accounting period, and
(b)any reduction of P% or Q% under section 371BG(3) by reference to any relevant interest of CC is to be ignored, but—
(i)P% is to be reduced so that it represents only the policyholders' share of the BLAGAB component of the apportioned profit (see subsections (10) to (12)), and
(ii)Q% is to be reduced by the same proportion as P% is reduced under sub-paragraph (i).
(4)Condition D is that, at all times during the CFC's accounting period, CC has the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, by virtue of its holding shares (“the relevant shares”) in the CFC (directly or indirectly).

(9)Condition G is that the assets which represent the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, during the CFC's accounting period are (to any extent) assets held by CC for the purposes of CC's long-term business.
(10)“The apportioned profit” means so much of P% as is attributable to CC having the relevant interest, or the part of a relevant interest, during the CFC's accounting period.
(11)Take the following steps to determine the “BLAGAB component” of the apportioned profit.
Step 1 Assume that the apportioned profit is income falling within section 74(1)(j) of FA 2012 paid to CC at the end of the CFC's accounting period.
Step 2 Calculate how much of that income would be referable, in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 2 of FA 2012, to CC's basic life assurance and general annuity business. That amount is the “BLAGAB component” of the apportioned profit.
(12)The “policyholders' share” of the BLAGAB component of the apportioned profit is equal to the policyholders' share of the I - E profit for the relevant corporation tax accounting period as determined in accordance with the rules contained in Chapter 5 of Part 2 of FA 2012.

(7)If the arrangements would otherwise result in C not having a relevant interest in the CFC, C is to be treated as having the relevant interest in the CFC.
(8)The CFC's chargeable profits and creditable tax for the relevant CFC accounting period are to be apportioned in accordance with section 371QC(2) (and not section 371QD if that section would otherwise apply).
