Finance Act 2022

Overseas property income of a QAHC

52 (1) No liability to corporation tax arises in respect of QAHC overseas property profits to the extent those profits are taxable in a foreign jurisdiction.

(2) “QAHC overseas property profits” means any profits that would, ignoring this paragraph, be chargeable to tax under Chapter 3 of Part 4 of CTA 2009 (profits of property businesses) as profits of an overseas property business of a QAHC.

(3) Profits are taxable in a foreign jurisdiction if they are chargeable to tax (and are neither subject to any exemption or relief from tax nor chargeable at a nil rate) under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom so far as that tax—

(a) is charged on income and corresponds to United Kingdom income tax, or

(b) is charged on income and corresponds to the United Kingdom charge to corporation tax on income.

(4) No liability to corporation tax arises in respect of profits that arise from loan relationships and derivative contracts that a QAHC is party to for the purposes of an overseas property business of that QAHC to the extent (apportioned on a just and reasonable basis) those profits relate to profits that are exempt from corporation tax as a result of sub-paragraph (1).

(5) Where a QAHC is party to a loan relationship or a derivative contract partly for the purposes of an overseas property business and partly for another purpose, sub-paragraph (4) only applies to the proportion of profits arising from that relationship or contract that are attributable to the overseas property business (apportioned on a just and reasonable basis).
