5U.K.The notional foreign liability for an accounting period is calculated as follows—
Step 1 Calculate the amount of qualifying foreign tax that would be payable by P for the accounting period if the tax were charged solely in respect of eligible bets and accounted for by reference to periods corresponding to P's accounting periods.
Any apportionment needed for this calculation is to be done on a just and reasonable basis.
If the law under which the qualifying foreign tax is imposed provides for losses to be carried forward, do not carry forward to the period any losses (in respect of eligible bets) that arose before the start of the reconciliation period.
Step 2 If the amount calculated under Step 1 is nil, the notional foreign liability for the period is nil.
Otherwise, calculate the sterling equivalent of the amount calculated under Step 1. The result is the notional foreign liability for the period.
The sterling equivalent is to be calculated using the London closing exchange rate for the last day of the accounting period.]
