[F42231B Consequences of certain arrangements to pass on the value of a tax credit.U.K.

(1)This section applies in any case where—

(a)a person (“A”) is entitled to a tax credit in respect of a qualifying distribution;

(b)arrangements subsist such that another person (“B”) obtains, whether directly or indirectly, a payment representing any of the value of the tax credit;

(c)the arrangements (whether or not made directly between A and B) were entered into for an unallowable purpose; and

(d)the condition in subsection (2) below is satisfied.

(2)The condition is that if B had been the person entitled to the tax credit and the qualifying distribution to which it relates, and had received the distribution when it was made, then—

(a)B would not have been entitled to obtain any payment under section 231(2) or (3) in respect of the tax credit; and

(b)if B is a company, B could not have used the income consisting of the distribution to frank a distribution actually made in the accounting period in which it would have received the distribution to which the tax credit relates.

(3)This section does not apply if and to the extent that any other provision of the Tax Acts has the effect of cancelling or reducing the tax advantage which would otherwise be obtained by virtue of the arrangements.

(4)Where this section applies—

(a)no claim shall be made under section 231(2) for payment of the amount of the tax credit;

(b)no claim shall be made under [F43section 397(2) of ITTOIA 2005]F44. . . in respect of the tax credit;[F45 and]

(c)the income consisting of the distribution in respect of which A is entitled to the tax credit shall not be regarded for the purposes of section 241 as franked investment income; F46. . .

(d)F46. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(5)For the purposes of this section, the question whether any arrangements were entered into for an “unallowable purpose” shall be determined in accordance with subsections (6) and (7) below.

(6)Arrangements are entered into for an unallowable purpose if the purposes for which at least one person is a party to the arrangements include a purpose which is not amongst the business or other commercial purposes of that person.

(7)Where one of the purposes for which a person enters into any arrangements is the purpose of securing that that person or another obtains a tax advantage, that purpose shall be regarded as a business or other commercial purpose of the person only if it is neither the main purpose, nor one of the main purposes, for which the person enters into the arrangements.

(8)Any reference in this section to a person obtaining a tax advantage includes a reference to a person obtaining a payment representing any of the value of a tax credit in circumstances where, had the person obtaining the payment been entitled to the tax credit and the qualifying distribution to which it relates, that person—

(a)would not have been entitled to obtain any payment under section 231(2) or (3) in respect of the tax credit; and

(b)if that person is a company, could not have used the income consisting of the distribution to frank a distribution actually made in the accounting period in which it would have received the distribution to which the tax credit relates.

(9)If an amount representing any of the value of a tax credit to which a person is entitled is applied at the direction of, or otherwise in favour of, some other person (whether by way of set off or otherwise), the case shall be treated for the purposes of this section as one where that other person obtains a payment representing any of the value of the tax credit.

(10)In determining for the purposes of subsections (2)(b) and (8)(b) b above whether a company could have used the income consisting of the distribution in question to frank a distribution of the company, the company shall be taken to use its actual franked investment income to frank distributions before using the income consisting of the distribution in question.

(11)References in this section to using franked investment income to frank a distribution of a company have the same meaning as in Chapter V of Part VI.

(12)In this section—

  • arrangements” means arrangements of any kind, whether in writing or not (and includes a series of arrangements, whether or not between the same parties);

  • business or other commercial purposes” includes the efficient management of investments;

  • franked investment income” has the same meaning as in Chapter V of Part VI and references to income consisting of a distribution shall be construed accordingly;

  • [F47tax advantage” has the meaning given by [F48section 1139 of CTA 2010]].]
