Profits or losses arising from derivative contracts which are interest rate contractsU.K.

9.—(1) For the purposes of [F108section 598(1)(a) of CTA 2009] there is prescribed all credits and debits representing the whole or part of the fair value profit or loss arising to a company in relation to its interest rate contracts in an accounting period if—

(a)there is a hedging relationship between the contract or a portion of the contract and any of the risks arising in respect of an asset, liability, receipt or expense (“the hedged item”); and

(b)fair value profits or losses arising on the hedged item or in relation to any of the risks [F109, in relation to which the contract was intended to act as a hedge,] arising in respect of the hedged item, or any portion of the hedged item, are not brought into account for the purposes of corporation tax for that period.

(2) Where paragraph (1) applies, credits and debits shall be brought into account for the purposes of [F110section 598(1)(b) of CTA 2009] on the assumption that an appropriate accruals basis had been used in relation to the contract for that accounting period.

[F111(2A) Where an interest rate contract—

(a)becomes a contract to which paragraph (1) applies, or

(b)ceases to be a contract to which paragraph (1) applies,

the amount to be brought into account for the purposes of [F112section 598(1)(b) of CTA 2009] is such amount as is just and reasonable in the circumstances and with regard to whether as a result of the change any amounts cease to be brought into account or are brought into account more than once [F113and to the unexpired term of the hedged item].]

(3) Where [F114regulation 4 or 5A] apply to a contract to which this regulation applies nothing in this regulation is to require any exchange gains or losses in relation to that contract to be brought into account.

(4) In this regulation—

“an appropriate accruals basis” in relation to a derivative contract is one where—

(a)

the contract is shown in the company’s accounts at cost (which may be nil), and the cost is adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of any premium or other amount falling to be recognised in arriving at the cost of the contract;

(b)

the aggregate of—

(i)

the amount of periodical payments under the contract, or in the case of a swap contract under which only a single payment is to be made, the value of the payment and

(ii)

the credits or debits representing interest arising, on the assumption that an effective interest method is used, in respect of the asset or liability representing a loan relationship which is the hedged item,

represent the credits or debits that would be given by generally accepted accounting practice in relation to an asset or liability representing a loan relationship whose terms include those of both the hedged item and the interest rate contract;

(c)

exchange gains and losses are recognised as a result of the translation of the contract at the balance-sheet date; and

(d)

profits and losses which arise as a result of the contract coming to an end before its stated date of maturity are amortised and brought into account over the unexpired term of the hedged item.

“an interest rate contract” means—

(i)

a derivative contract whose underlying subject matter is, or includes, interest rates, or

(ii)

if not falling within paragraph (i), a swap contract in which payments fall to be made by reference to a rate of interest or to an index determined by reference to income or retail prices.

Bringing fair value profits or losses into account on currency and commodity contractsU.K.

10.—(1) For the purposes of [F119section 598(1)(c) of CTA 2009] —

(a)there is prescribed the aggregate of the credits and debits representing any [F120regulation 7 or 8] fair value profits or losses excluded in relation to a derivative contract of a company F121...; and

(b)the amount of that aggregate is brought into account for the period in which a termination event occurs.

This is subject to paragraphs (3), (5), (7) [F122and (9)].

(2) In paragraph (1) a “termination event” occurs—

(a)on the company ceasing to be a party to the contract; or

(b)if earlier, when the hedged item begins to affect the company’s profit or loss.

(3) If the forecast transaction or firm commitment which is the hedged item mentioned in regulation 7 or regulation 8 is a forecast transaction of, or a firm commitment to a purchase of, anything the expenditure in relation to which—

(a)falls to be taken into account in computing the profits of a trade or property business carried on by the company, or

(b)would fall to be deducted but for any provision of the Corporation Tax Acts prohibiting the deduction of capital expenditure in respect of depreciation of an asset,

then the aggregate mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) in relation to the contract is[F123, subject to paragraph (3A),] to be brought into account in the accounting period in which the expenditure falls or would fall to be deducted.

[F124(3A) [F125Subject to paragraph (3B),] if paragraph (3)(b) applies—

(a)the amount to be brought into account in an accounting period is the product of

where—

  • DA is the amount of depreciation recognised in the profit and loss account or income statement in relation to the hedged item in the accounting period,

  • E is the total expenditure on the hedged item, and

  • FVP is the aggregate amount of regulation 7 or 8 fair value profit;

(b)where the hedged item is disposed of, the balance of the aggregate amount mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) which has not been brought into account under sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph shall be brought into account in the accounting period in which the disposal takes place.]

[F126(3B) Where the disposal mentioned in paragraph (3A)(b) is to a company (“the transferee”) which is a member of the same group of companies, in applying paragraph (3A)(a) to the transferee FVP shall be treated as meaning the fair value profits and losses of the transferor.

(3C) In paragraph (3B), “group of companies” has the meaning given in [F127section 624(3) of CTA 2009].]

(4) In paragraph (3) “property business” has the meaning given in [F128section 748(4) of CTA 2009].

(5) Where—

(a)part of a contract to which this regulation applies terminates without the company ceasing to be a party to the contract, or

(b)part only of the hedged item begins to be recognised in determining the company’s profit and loss,

paragraph (1)(b) [F129or paragraph (3)] is to apply to a proportionate amount of the aggregate.

(6) In paragraph (5) “proportionate amount” means that proportion of the relevant aggregate amount which is—

(a)in a case where it is part of the contract which matures, the [F130proportion] which the fair value of the part of the contract maturing bears to the fair value of the whole of the contract at that time, and

(b)in any other case the proportion which the fair value of the hedged item [F131which begins] to be recognised bears to the fair value of the whole of the hedged item at that time.

(7) Where immediately on ceasing to be a party to the contract (“the old contract”), the company enters into another contract (“the new contract”) which meets the conditions in regulation 7 or regulation 8 in relation to the same hedged item as was the hedged item in relation to the old contract—

(a)paragraph (1)(b) shall not apply in relation to the old contract, and

(b)the aggregate prescribed in paragraph (1)(a) in relation to the old contract shall be treated for the purposes of the application of this regulation to the new contract as included in the aggregate prescribed in relation to the new contract.
