Dividend distributionsU.K.

(b)on the distribution date for that distribution period the participant is within the charge to corporation tax.
(2) [F5Subject to paragraphs (2A) and (2B),] for the purpose of computing the corporation tax chargeable upon the participant, the unfranked part of the dividend distribution is treated—
(a)as an annual payment and not as a dividend distribution or an interest distribution; and
(b)as having been received by the participant after deduction of income tax at the [F6basic rate] for the [F7tax year] in which the distribution date falls, from a corresponding gross amount.
[F8(2A) But paragraph (2) does not apply to a dividend distribution to which [F9Chapter 2 of Part 3 of CTA 2009] applies.
(2B) If, on the distribution date, the participant is the manager of the authorised investment fund, paragraph (2) shall not apply to the extent that the rights in respect of which the dividend distribution is made are held by him in the ordinary course of the manager’s business as manager of the fund.]
(3) Regulation 49 explains how to calculate the unfranked part of the dividend distribution.
[F10(4) This regulation does not apply in respect of a holding in a qualified investor scheme if the scheme has not met the genuine diversity of ownership condition in regulation [F119A] in relation to an accounting period.]

Calculation of unfranked part of dividend distributionU.K.
49.—(1) This is how to calculate the unfranked part of the dividend distribution—
(2) In paragraph (1)—
U = the unfranked part of the dividend distribution to the participant;
A = the amount of the dividend distribution;
C = such amount of the gross income as does not derive from franked investment income, as reduced by an amount equal to the legal owner's net liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income;
D = the amount of the gross income, as reduced by an amount equal to the legal owner's net liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income.
[F12(2A) For the purpose of calculating the value of C in paragraph (1) in relation to a distribution made by an authorised investment fund (“AIF1”) to a participant, the amount of any distribution from another authorised investment fund (“AIF2”) which is treated by AIF1 as an annual payment by virtue of regulation 48(2)(a), shall be treated as not deriving from franked investment income arising to AIF2.]
(3) Any reference in this regulation to the legal owner's net liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income is a reference to the amount of the liability of the legal owner to corporation tax in respect of that gross income less the amount (if any) of any reduction of that liability which is given or falls to be given in accordance with any arrangements having effect by virtue of section 788 of ICTA (relief by agreement with other territories) or by way of a credit under section 790(1) of that Act (unilateral relief).
