Finance Act 1983

12 (1) This paragraph applies where— U.K.

(a) a claim for allowable expenditure has been made by a participator under Schedule 7 to the principal Act; and

(b) as a result of the receipt (whether before or after the making of the claim) of a qualifying receipt, the amount allowed by way of allowable expenditure on the claim exceeds what it should have been.

(2) In determining, in a case where this paragraph applies, the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to the participator in the chargeable period in which the qualifying receipt is received, the amount of the excess referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall be taken into account under section 2 of the principal Act as an amount which is to be included among the positive amounts referred to in subsection (3)(a) of that section.

(3) In the application of section 9 of the principal Act (limit on amount of tax payable) to a chargeable period in respect of which sub-paragraph (2) above applies, the amount of the excess referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall be deducted from the amount which would otherwise be the total ascertained under subsection (2)(a)(ii) of that section and, if the amount of that excess is greater than the amount which would otherwise be that total, that total shall be a negative amount equal to the difference.
