Take Steps 6 and 7 to determine how much of the designated FPE entity's equity and liabilities is to be treated as long term equity and liabilities and how much as short term liabilities for the purposes of the determination at Step 3 in paragraph 6(2).
Step 1 In accordance with paragraph 15G(2), determine the amount (“A”) of the assets of the designated FPE entity as at the end of the chargeable period (subject to any adjustment under paragraph 15Z4(1)).
Step 2 In accordance with paragraph 15Z2, determine the amount (“B”) of the assets, as at the end of the chargeable period, of the foreign permanent establishment (subject to any adjustment under paragraph 15Z4(2)). The proportion which B is of A is “X%”.
Step 3 Determine the amount (“C”) that would, if an election under paragraph 15D or 15E had not been made, be the amount of the UK-based equity and liabilities (or the adjusted equity and liabilities) of the entity, by—
determining the amount of the equity and liabilities of the entity, as at the end of the chargeable period, under paragraph 15G(2), and
adjusting that amount in accordance with paragraph 15N.
Step 4 The amount of the non-UK allocated equity and liabilities attributable to the foreign permanent establishment is X% of C.
Step 5 To determine the amount (“Z”) of the UK-based equity and liabilities, or (in a case to which paragraph 15K or 15L applies) the adjusted equity and liabilities, of the designated FPE entity—
determine, in accordance with Steps 1 to 4, the amount of the non-UK allocated equity and liabilities attributable to each of the entity's foreign permanent establishments in respect of which an election has been made under paragraph 15D or 15E, and
reduce C by the total of those amounts.
Step 6 Determine the proportion (“Y%”) of C which is long term equity and liabilities.
Step 7 For the purposes of Step 3 in paragraph 6(2) treat Y% of Z as long term equity and liabilities and the rest as short term liabilities.
15Z2(1)This paragraph applies for the purposes of Step 2 in paragraph 15Z1.
(2)The assets of the foreign permanent establishment are those which it would have were it a distinct and separate enterprise which—
(a)engaged in the same or similar activities under the same or similar conditions, and
(b)dealt wholly independently with the designated FPE entity.
(3)For the purposes of paragraph 15Z1 and this paragraph, any relevant provisions of Chapter 3A of Part 2 of CTA 2009 (UK resident companies: profits of foreign permanent establishments) are to be applied as they would be applied in determining profits attributable to the foreign permanent establishment for corporation tax purposes.
(4)But in determining the non-UK allocated equity and liabilities attributable to a foreign permanent establishment of a designated FPE entity which is a member of the relevant group, any assets within sub-paragraph (5) are to be left out.
(5)The assets within this sub-paragraph are any assets of the foreign permanent establishment (as otherwise determined under this paragraph) representing an excluded loan relationship.
(6)A loan relationship is “excluded” if—
(a)the designated FPE entity mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) is the creditor,
(b)the debtor (“D”) is a UK resident bank, a building society or a relevant foreign bank—
(i)which is a member of the relevant group, and
(ii)whose activities include the relevant regulated activity described in the provision mentioned in paragraph 79(a),
(c)the money which is the subject of the transaction giving rise to D's debt is money borrowed by the designated FPE entity mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) from another entity, and
(d)in borrowing that money the designated FPE entity was acting as the agent or intermediary of D.
(7)Section 302(1) of CTA 2009 (definition of “loan relationship”) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) as it applies for corporation tax purposes.
15Z3(1)Paragraph 15Z4 applies for the purposes of Steps 1 and 2 in paragraph 15Z1 if—
(a)the designated FPE entity mentioned in paragraph 15Z1 (“E”) has liabilities to another entity which (in a case where the bank levy is charged as provided for by paragraph 4 (groups)) is not within sub-paragraph (5) (“E's liabilities”),
(b)E recognises, as assets, amounts due from that other entity (“N”) to E (“N's liabilities”),
(c)there is in place an agreement between E and N which makes net settlement provision, and
(d)that provision is legally effective and enforceable.
(2)In sub-paragraph (1)(c), “net settlement provision” means provision for there to be a single net settlement—
(a)if a netting event occurs, or
(b)at the option of E or N, if a netting event occurs.
(3)The reference in sub-paragraph (2) to a “single net settlement” is a reference to a single net settlement of—
(a)all E's liabilities (so far as covered by the provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c)) and
(b)all N's liabilities (so far as covered by that provision).
(4)But a provision for there to be single net settlement—
(a)at the option of E, but not at the option of N, if a netting event occurs, or
(b)at the option of N, but not at the option of E, if a netting event occurs,
is not to be treated as a net settlement provision for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(c).
(5)An entity is within this sub-paragraph if it is—
(a)a UK resident entity which is a member of a UK sub-group,
(b)a chargeable UK resident entity, or
(c)a relevant foreign bank which is a member of the relevant group.
(6)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—
(a)“agreement” includes an agreement which forms part of a multi-lateral agreement, arrangement or trading facility,
(b)references to amounts due from N include securities provided by E to N as collateral, but only where E recognises those securities in its balance sheet or statement of financial position, and
(c)“a netting event occurs”—
(i)in relation to E, if the insolvency or bankruptcy of E gives rise to the termination of any arrangements under which any liability covered by the provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c) arises, or
(ii)in relation to N, if the insolvency or bankruptcy of N gives rise to the termination of any arrangements under which such a liability arises.
(7)Section 556 of CTA 2009 (meaning of securities and similar securities) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (6) as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 10 of Part 6 of that Act.
15Z4(1)In determining the amount of E's assets at Step 1 in paragraph 15Z1, the amount of E's net settlement assets is to be reduced (but not below nil) by the amount of E's net settlement liabilities.
(2)In determining the amount of the foreign permanent establishment's assets at Step 2 in paragraph 15Z1—
(a)the reduction in E's assets under sub-paragraph (1) is to be ignored, but
(b)the amount of the foreign permanent establishment's net settlement assets is to be reduced by Z%.
(3)For this purpose, “Z%” is the proportion by which E's net settlement assets are reduced under sub-paragraph (1).
(4)E's “net settlement liabilities” are E's liabilities so far as they—
(a)are covered by the provision mentioned in paragraph 15Z3(1)(c), and
(b)are not excluded liabilities.
(5)E's “net settlement assets” are E's assets so far as corresponding to N's net settlement liabilities.
(6)“N's net settlement liabilities” means N's liabilities so far as they are covered by the provision mentioned in sub-paragraph 15Z3(1)(c).
(7)The permanent establishment's “net settlement assets” are its assets so far as they are part of E's net settlement assets.
15Z5(1)If a relevant equity and liabilities amount is less than £50 million, that amount may be ignored for the purposes of determining the chargeable equity and liabilities of the relevant group under paragraph 15.
(2)But the total amount which may be ignored under sub-paragraph (1) may not exceed £200 million.
(3)In sub-paragraph (1), “relevant equity and liabilities amount” means—
(a)in the case of a chargeable UK resident entity, the amount of the equity and liabilities, as at the end of the chargeable period, of the entity,
(b)in the case of a UK sub-group to which paragraph 15J applies, the amount of the equity and liabilities, as at the end of the chargeable period, of the UK sub-group,
(c)in the case of a UK sub-group to which paragraph 15K applies, the total amount of—
(i)the equity and liabilities of the residual UK sub-group, and
(ii)the equity and liabilities of each designated FPE entity,
as at the end of the chargeable period,
(d)in the case of a UK sub-group to which paragraph 15L applies, the total amount of the equity and liabilities, as at the end of the chargeable period, of each UK resident entity (whether or not a designated FPE entity) which is a member of the UK sub-group, or
(e)in the case of a relevant foreign bank which is a member of the relevant group, the amount of the UK allocated equity and liabilities, as at the end of the chargeable period.”
