(b)dealt wholly independently with the company.
(3)In applying subsection (2) assume that—
(a)the permanent establishment has the same credit rating as the company, and
(b)(subject to subsection (5)) the permanent establishment has such equity and loan capital as it could reasonably be expected to have if the equity and loan capital of the company were allocated in accordance with subsection (4).
(4)The allocation is one made on a just and equitable basis between the permanent establishments in territories outside the United Kingdom through which the company carries on business and the entity that the company would consist of if each such permanent establishment were an entity distinct and separate from the company.
