[F223 432C Section 432B apportionment: non-participating funds U.K.

(1) This section specifies the extent to which the net amount is referable to life assurance business or to gross roll-up business.

(2) In this section “the net amount” means the aggregate of the amounts brought into account—

(a) as investment income,

(b) as an increase in the value of assets, or

(c) as other income,

less the aggregate of the amounts brought into account as a decrease in the value of assets.

(3) To the extent that the net amount is attributable to—

(a) assets linked to life assurance business, or

(b) foreign currency assets,

it is referable to life assurance business.

(4) There is also referable to life assurance business the appropriate fraction of so much of the net amount as is not attributable to linked assets or foreign currency assets.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) above “the appropriate fraction” is—

where—

A is the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the relevant business so far as referable to life assurance business (but taking that mean to be nil if it would otherwise be below nil), reduced (but not below nil) by the aggregate of the mean of the opening and closing net values of assets linked to the relevant business so far as so referable and foreign currency assets; and

B is the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the relevant business so far as referable to PHI business, reduced (but not below nil) by the mean of the opening and closing net values of any assets linked to PHI business.

(6) But if the denominator found in accordance with subsection (5) above is nil, the appropriate fraction for the purposes of subsection (4) above is such fraction as is just and reasonable.

(7) To the extent that the net amount is attributable to—

(a) assets linked to gross roll-up business, or

(b) foreign currency assets,

it is referable to gross roll-up business.

(8) There is also referable to gross roll-up business the relevant fraction of so much of the net amount as is not attributable to linked assets or foreign currency assets.

(9) For the purposes of subsection (8) above “the relevant fraction” is—

where—

C is the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the relevant business so far as referable to gross roll-up business (but taking that mean to be nil if it would otherwise be below nil), reduced (but not below nil) by the aggregate of the mean of the opening and closing net values of any assets linked to gross roll-up business and foreign currency assets; and

D is the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the relevant business so far as referable to basic life assurance and general annuity business or PHI business (but taking that mean to be nil if it would otherwise be below nil), reduced (but not below nil) by the mean of the opening and closing net values of any assets linked to either of those categories of business.

(10) But if the denominator found in accordance with subsection (9) above is nil, the relevant fraction for the purposes of subsection (8) above is such fraction as is just and reasonable.

(11) For the purposes of this section, so much of the net amount—

(a) as is brought into account as other income in an internal linked fund of the company, and

(b) as is not attributable to assets of that fund,

is to be treated as linked to a category of business to the same extent as income attributable to an asset of the fund would, by virtue of section 432ZA, be referable to that category of business.]

Valid from 08/04/2010

[F224 432CA Apportionment of asset value increase where line 51 amount decreases U.K.

(1) This section applies where—

(a) an insurance company is not a non-profit company in relation to a period of account (“the current period of account”),

(b) in the case of any business with which an account of the company for the current period of account is concerned (“the relevant business”), an amount is a relevant brought into account amount for that period of account (see subsection (2)),

(c) section 432C applies for determining the extent to which the relevant brought into account amount is referable to life assurance business or to gross roll-up business, and

(d) the line 51 reduction condition is met (see subsection (3)).

(2) An amount is a relevant brought into account amount for a period of account if—

(a) it is brought into account as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) of section 83 of the Finance Act 1989 (increases in value of non-linked assets) for that period,

(b) it is deemed to be brought into account for that period by subsection (2B) of that section in consequence of the transfer of non-linked assets, or

(c) it is taken into account under subsection (2) of that section for that period by virtue of section 444AB as being the relevant amount in relation to non-linked assets.

(3) The line 51 reduction condition is met if—

(a) the amount shown in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the company's periodical return in respect of the relevant business for the current period of account, is less than

(b) the amount so shown for the period of account immediately before it;

and the amount of the difference is “the relevant reduction”.

(4) Section 432C applies in relation to so much of the relevant brought into account amount as does not exceed the relevant reduction (“the affected amount”) as if it were brought into account as an increase in the value of assets in the case of the relevant business for the applicable appropriate period of account of the company.

(5) A period of account is an “appropriate period of account” if it ended before the current period of account and—

(a) the amount shown in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the company's periodical return in respect of the relevant business for it, was more than

(b) the amount so shown for the period of account immediately before it;

and the amount of the difference is “the relevant increase.”

(6) The “applicable” appropriate period of account is the one which ended most recently (“the most recent appropriate period of account”).

(7) But if the relevant increase in the case of the most recent appropriate period of account is less than the affected amount, the most recent appropriate period of account is the applicable appropriate period of account in relation to only so much of the affected amount as does not exceed that relevant increase.

(8) In that case, the appropriate period of account which ended most recently before the most recent appropriate period of account is the applicable appropriate period of account in relation to so much of the remainder as does not exceed the relevant increase in the case of that appropriate period of account (and, where necessary, so on until the applicable appropriate period of account is established in relation to all of the affected amount or there are no more appropriate periods of account).

(9) If the current period of account is not the first in relation to which this section has applied in the case of the business concerned, the amount of the relevant increase in the case of any appropriate period of account (“the period in question”) is to be treated as reduced by the relevant aggregate.

(10) The “relevant aggregate” is the aggregate of so much of the affected amount for any period or periods of account earlier than the current period of account as was an amount to which section 432C applied as if it were brought into account as mentioned in subsection (4) for the period in question.

(11) For the purposes of this section an insurance company which has elected under section 83YA(9) of the Finance Act 1989 (changes in value of assets brought into account: non-profit companies) to be treated as a non-profit company in relation to a period of account is to be regarded as a non-profit company in relation to the period of account.]

Valid from 27/07/2010

[F225 432CB Transfers of business involving excess assets U.K.

(1) This section applies where, under an insurance business transfer scheme, there is a transfer of long-term business—

(a) from a non-profit fund of an insurance company (“the transferor”) which is not a non-profit company in relation to the relevant period of account,

(b) to another insurance company (“the transferee”) to constitute or form part of a non-profit fund of the transferee (“the transferee's non-profit fund”),

(“the transfer”) and conditions A and B are met.

(2) Condition A is that the fair value of the assets transferred by the transfer exceeds by an amount (“the chargeable excess”) the amount of the relevant liabilities transferred by the transfer.

For this purpose “relevant” liabilities are liabilities of a type shown (or treated as shown) in any of lines 14, 17, 21 to 23 and 31 to 38 of Form 14 of a periodical return of an insurance company.

(3) Condition B is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the transferor or the transferee (or both) in entering into any part of the transfer scheme arrangements is to secure a reduction in tax as a result of section 432C having effect in the case of the transferee, rather than the transferor, in relation to the business transferred by the transfer.

(4) The chargeable excess is to be brought into account by the transferor as mentioned in section 83(2)(b) of the Finance Act 1989 for the relevant period of account.

(5) Where there is no amount shown in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the periodical return of the transferee for the first period of account of the transferee ending on or after the transfer date (“the first post-transfer period of account”), the chargeable excess is to be brought into account by the transferee as mentioned in section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 as a decrease in the value of non-linked assets for the first post-transfer period of account.

(6) Where—

(a) there is an amount shown in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the periodical return of the transferee for the first post-transfer period of account, and

(b) the amount so shown in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the periodical return of the transferee for that period of account, or for any other period of account of the transferee ending after the transfer date, (an “affected period of account”) is less than the total chargeable excess amount,

the relevant amount is to be brought into account by the transferee as mentioned in section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 as a decrease in the value of non-linked assets for the affected period of account.

(7) For this purpose “the relevant amount” is the amount by which—

(a) the amount shown in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund in column 1 of line 51 of Form 14 of the periodical return of the transferee for the affected period of account, is less than

(b) the total chargeable excess amount less any amount brought into account by the transferee as mentioned in section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 as a decrease in the value of non-linked assets for any earlier period of account by virtue of the operation of this section in relation to the transferee's non-profit fund.

(8) In subsections (6) and (7) “the total chargeable excess amount” means the aggregate of—

(a) the chargeable excess, and

(b) any amount which is the chargeable excess in relation to any other transfer of business to the transferee's non-profit fund.

(9) In this section “the relevant period of account” means—

(a) the period of account of the transferor ending immediately before the transfer date, or

(a) the contract providing for the actual annuity provided instead for the annuities identified by subsections (1CB) and (1CC) below; and

(a) shall not include the later annuity; but

(b) shall include, instead, the annuities which would be identified by subsection (1CB) above (with as many further applications of this subsection as may be necessary for securing that none of the annuities mentioned in subsection (1CA)(a) above is a steep-reduction annuity) if references in that subsection to the actual annuity were references to the later annuity.

(1CD) Subsections (1CA) to (1CC) above shall be construed in accordance with section 437A.]

(a) a payment in respect of an annuity is made by an insurance company under a group annuity contract made in an accounting period beginning before 1st January 1992,

(b) the company’s liabilities first include an amount in respect of that annuity in an accounting period beginning on or after that date, and

(c) the company’s liability in respect of that annuity is referable to its basic life assurance and general annuity business,

the payment shall be treated for the purposes of this section, other than this subsection, as if the group annuity contract had been made in an accounting period beginning on or after 1st January 1992 (and, accordingly, as payment of a new annuity).

(1E) In any case where—

(a) a payment in respect of an annuity is made by a reinsurer under a reinsurance treaty made in an accounting period beginning before 1st January 1992,

(b) the reinsurer’s liabilities first include an amount in respect of that annuity in an accounting period beginning on or after that date, and

[F323 437A Meaning of “steep-reduction annuity” etc. U.K.

(1) For the purposes of section 437 an annuity is a steep-reduction annuity if—

(a) the amount of any payment in respect of the annuity (but not the term of the annuity) depends on any contingency other than the duration of a human life or lives;

(b) the annuitant is entitled in respect of the annuity to payments of different amounts at different times; and

(c) those payments include a payment (“a reduced payment”) of an amount which is substantially smaller than the amount of at least one of the earlier payments in respect of that annuity to which the annuitant is entitled.

(2) Where there are different intervals between payments to which an annuitant is entitled in respect of any annuity, the question whether or not the conditions in subsection (1)(b) and (c) above are satisfied in the case of that annuity shall be determined by assuming—

(a) that the annuitant’s entitlement, after the first payment, to payments in respect of that annuity is an entitlement to payments at yearly intervals on the anniversary of the first payment; and

(b) that the amount to which the annuitant is assumed to be entitled on each such anniversary is equal to the annuitant’s assumed entitlement for the year ending with that anniversary.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above an annuitant’s assumed entitlement for any year shall be determined as follows—

(a) the annuitant’s entitlement to each payment in respect of the annuity shall be taken to accrue at a constant rate during the interval between the previous payment and that payment; and

(b) his assumed entitlement for any year shall be taken to be equal to the aggregate of the amounts which, in accordance with paragraph (a) above, are treated as accruing in that year.

(4) In the case of an annuity to which subsection (2) above applies, the reference in section 437(1CB)(a) to the making of a reduced payment shall be construed as if it were a reference to the making of a payment in respect of that annuity which (applying subsection (3)(a) above) is taken to accrue at a rate that is substantially less than the rate at which at least one of the earlier payments in respect of that annuity is taken to accrue.

(5) Where—

(a) any question arises for the purposes of this section whether the amount of any payment in respect of any annuity—

(i) is substantially smaller than the amount of, or

(ii) accrues at a rate substantially less than,

an earlier payment in respect of that annuity, and

(b) the annuitant or, as the case may be, every annuitant is an individual who is beneficially entitled to all the rights conferred on him as such an annuitant,

that question shall be determined without regard to so much of the difference between the amounts or rates as is referable to a reduction falling to be made as a result of the occurrence of a death.

(6) Where the amount of any one or more of the payments to which an annuitant is entitled in respect of an annuity depends on any contingency, his entitlement to payments in respect of that annuity shall be determined for the purposes of section 437(1CA) to (1CC) and this section according to whatever (applying any relevant actuarial principles) is the most likely outcome in relation to that contingency.

(7) Where any agreement or arrangement has effect for varying the rights of an annuitant in relation to a payment in respect of any annuity, that payment shall be taken, for the purposes of section 437(1CA) to (1CC) and this section, to be a payment of the amount to which the annuitant is entitled in accordance with that agreement or arrangement.

(8) References in this section to a contingency include references to a contingency that consists wholly or partly in the exercise by any person of any option.]

(1) Subsection (2) makes provision for a case where—

(a) subsection (4) of section 431G applies in relation to the profits of the life assurance business of an insurance company for any accounting period, but

(b) the profits of that business for a succeeding accounting period fall to be charged to tax in accordance with Case I of Schedule D by virtue of subsection (3) of that section.

(2) The loss referred to in section 431G(4)(b) (less any loss for the same accounting period set off under section 436A for any intervening accounting period and any amount deducted for any such period in respect of the loss by virtue of section 85A(3)(b) of the Finance Act 1989) may be set off under section 393 against profits of that succeeding accounting period (without being reduced in accordance with section 434A(2)(a)).

(3) In determining whether any loss has been set off under section 436A for any intervening accounting period, or whether any amount has been deducted for any such period in respect of the loss by virtue of section 85A(3)(b) of the Finance Act 1989, losses of earlier accounting periods are to be assumed to be set off before those of later accounting periods.

(4) Subsection (5) makes provision for a case where—

(a) a loss arises to an insurance company for an accounting period for which the profits of its life assurance business fall to be charged to tax in accordance with Case I of Schedule D by virtue of section 431G(3)(b),

(b) the profits of that business for a subsequent accounting period are charged to tax under the I minus E basis, and

(c) had those profits (instead) been charged to tax in accordance with Case I of Schedule D, any of that loss would have been available to be set off against them under section 393.

(5) The loss is to be treated for the purposes of the operation of section 436A in relation to the subsequent accounting period as if it were a loss arising from its gross roll-up business in the accounting period in which it arose.

(6) Subsections (7) and (8) make provision for a case where—

(a) the profits of the life assurance business of an insurance company for an accounting period are charged to tax under the I minus E basis,

(b) the profits of that business for its next accounting period fall to be charged to tax in accordance with Case I of Schedule D by virtue of section 431G(3), and

(c) that prevents the giving of relief in accordance with section 86(8) of the Finance Act 1989 (acquisition expenses relieved in fractions under section 76).

(7) Any relief which would have been so given in—

(a) the next accounting period, or

(b) any subsequent accounting period for which the profits of the company's life assurance business continue to be charged to tax in accordance with Case I of Schedule D,

may be given by set-off against any gains treated as accruing under section 213(1) of the 1992 Act at the end of the accounting period.

(8) But if the profits of the company's life assurance business for a subsequent accounting period are charged to tax under the I minus E basis, any relief not previously given under subsection (7) is to be treated for the purposes of the operation of section 76 in relation to the first subsequent accounting period for which profits are so charged as if it were an amount which is to be relieved under that section by virtue of section 86(8) and (9) of the Finance Act 1989.]

444BA Equalisation reserves for general business. U.K.

(1) Subject to the following provisions of this section and to sections 444BB to 444BD, the rules in subsection (2) below shall apply in making any computation, for the purposes of Case I or V of Schedule D, of the profits or losses for any accounting period of an insurance company whose business has at any time been or included business in respect of which it was required, by virtue of [F488 equalisation reserve rules], to maintain an equalisation reserve.

(2) Those rules are—

(a) that amounts which, in accordance with [F488 equalisation reserve rules], are transferred into the equalisation reserve in respect of the company’s business for the accounting period in question are to be deductible;

(b) that amounts which, in accordance with any such regulations, are transferred out of the reserve in respect of the company’s business for that period are to be treated as receipts of that business; and

(c) that it must be assumed that all such transfers as are required by [F488 equalisation reserve rules] to be made into or out of the reserve in respect of the company’s business for any period are made as required.

(3) Where an insurance company having any business in respect of which it is required, by virtue of [F488 equalisation reserve rules], to maintain an equalisation reserve ceases to trade—

(a) any balance which exists in the reserve at that time for the purposes of the Tax Acts shall be deemed to have been transferred out of the reserve immediately before the company ceases to trade; and

(b) that transfer out shall be deemed to be a transfer in respect of the company’s business for the accounting period in which the company so ceases and to have been required by [F488 equalisation reserve rules].

(4) Where—

(a) an amount is transferred into an equalisation reserve in respect of the business of an insurance company for any accounting period,

(b) the rule in subsection (2)(a) above would apply to the transfer of that amount but for this subsection,

(c) that company by notice in writing to an officer of the Board makes an election in relation to that amount for the purposes of this subsection, and

(d) the notice of the election is given not more than two years after the end of that period,

the rule mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above shall not apply to that transfer of that amount and, instead, the amount transferred (the “unrelieved transfer”) shall be carried forward for the purposes of subsection (5) below to the next accounting period and (subject to subsection (6) below) from accounting period to accounting period.

(5) Where—

(a) in accordance with [F488 equalisation reserve rules], a transfer is made out of an equalisation reserve in respect of an insurance company’s business for any accounting period,

(b) the rule in subsection (2)(b) above would apply to the transfer but for this subsection, and

(c) the accounting period is one to which any amount representing one or more unrelieved transfers has been carried forward under subsection (4) above,

that rule mentioned in subsection (2)(b) above shall not apply to that transfer except to the extent (if any) that the amount of the transfer exceeds the aggregate of the amounts representing unrelieved transfers carried forward to that period.

(6) Where in the case of any company—

(a) any amount representing one or more unrelieved transfers is carried forward to an accounting period in accordance with subsection (4) above, and

(b) by virtue of subsection (5) above the rule in subsection (2)(b) above does not apply to an amount representing the whole or any part of any transfer out of an equalisation reserve in respect of the company’s business for that period,

the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) above shall not be carried forward under subsection (4) above to the next accounting period except to the extent (if any) that it exceeds the amount mentioned in paragraph (b) above.

(7) To the extent that any actual or assumed transfer in accordance with [F488 equalisation reserve rules] of any amount into an equalisation reserve is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for tax purposes—

(a) the rule in subsection (2)(a) above shall not apply to that transfer; and

(b) the making of that transfer shall be disregarded in determining, for the purposes of the Tax Acts, whether and to what extent there is subsequently any requirement to make a transfer into or out of the reserve in accordance with [F488 equalisation reserve rules];

and this subsection applies irrespective of whether the insurance company in question is a party to the arrangements.

(8) For the purposes of this section the transfer of an amount into an equalisation reserve is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for tax purposes to the extent that the arrangements to which it is attributable are arrangements—

(a) the sole or main purpose of which is, or

(b) the sole or main benefit accruing from which might (but for subsection (7) above) be expected to be,

the reduction by virtue of this section of any liability to tax.

(9) Where—

(a) any transfer made into or out of an equalisation reserve maintained by an insurance company is made in accordance with [F488 equalisation reserve rules] in respect of business carried on by that company over a period (“the equalisation period”), and

(b) parts of the equalisation period are in different accounting periods,

the amount transferred shall be apportioned for the purposes of this section between the different accounting periods in the proportions that correspond to the number of days in the equalisation period that are included in each of those accounting periods.

(10) The Treasury may by regulations provide in relation to any accounting periods ending on or after 1st April 1996 for specified transitional provisions contained in [F488 equalisation reserve rules] to be disregarded for the purposes of the Tax Acts in determining how much is required, on any occasion, to be transferred into or out of any equalisation reserve in accordance with [F489 the rules].

[F490 (11) In this section, and in sections 444BB to 444BD, “equalisation reserves rules” means the rules in [F491 chapter 7.5 of the Integrated Prudential Sourcebook].]

(1) The Treasury may by regulations provide for section 444BA to have effect, in such cases and subject to such modifications as may be specified in the regulations, in relation to any equivalent reserves as it has effect in relation to equalisation reserves maintained by virtue of [F495 equalisation reserve rules].

and

(b) the purpose for which, or the manner in which, it is maintained is such as to make it equivalent to an equalisation reserve maintained by virtue of [F495 equalisation reserve rules].

(b) contain any other provision corresponding to any provision which, in the case of a reserve maintained by virtue of [F495 equalisation reserve rules], may be made under sections 444BA to 444BC.

(b) provision for excluding from the rule in section 444BA(2)(b) so much of any amount transferred out of an equivalent reserve as represents, in pursuance of an apportionment made under the regulations, the transfer out of that reserve of amounts in respect of which there has been no entitlement to relief by virtue of section 444BA(2)(a).

(7) In this section—

• [F497 “credit insurance business” means business which consists of the effecting or carrying out of contracts of insurance against risks of loss to the persons insured arising from—

(2) M22 This subsection applies to any society registered after 31st May 1973 unless—

(a) its business is limited to the provision, in accordance with the rules of the society, of benefits for or in respect of employees of a particular employer or such other group of persons as is for the time being approved for the purposes of this section by the [F559 Board]; or

(b) it was registered before 27th March 1974 and its rules limit the aggregate amount which may be paid by a member by way of contributions and deposits to not more than £1 per month or such greater amount as the [F559 Board] may authorise for the purposes of this section;

and also applies to any society registered before 1st June 1973 with respect to which a direction under subsection [F560 (7)] below is in force.

(3) M23 If a society to which subsection (2) above applies, after 26th March 1974 or such later date as may be specified in a direction under this section, makes a payment to a member in respect of his interest in the society and the payment is made otherwise than in the course of life or endowment business and exceeds the aggregate of any sums paid by him to the society by way of contributions or deposits, after deducting from that aggregate the amount of—

(a) any previous payment so made to him by the society after that date, and

(b) any earlier repayment of such sums paid by him,

the excess shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax and income tax as a qualifying distribution.

[F561 (3A) F562 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .]

(4) M24 Where a registered friendly society—

(a) at any time ceases F563 . . . by virtue of [F564 section 91 of the Friendly Societies Act 1992] (conversion into company) to be registered under [F565 that Act]; and

(b) immediately before that time was exempt from F566 . . . corporation tax on profits arising from any business carried on by it other than life or endowment business,

the company into which the society is converted shall be so exempt on its profits arising from any part of that business which relates to contracts made before that time so long as there is no increase in the scale of benefits which it undertakes to provide in the course of carrying on that part of its business.

[F567 (4A) Where—

(a) at any time an insurance company acquires by way of transfer of engagements from a registered friendly society any business other than life or endowment business, and

the insurance company shall be exempt from corporation tax on its profits arising from any part of that business which relates to contracts made before that time.

(4B) But if during an accounting period of the insurance company there is an increase in the scale of benefits which it undertakes to provide in the course of carrying on any such part of that business, the company shall not be exempt from corporation tax by virtue of subsection (4A) above for that or any subsequent accounting period.]

(5) For the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts any part of a company’s business in respect of the profits from which the company is exempt by virtue of subsection (4) [F568 or (4A)] above shall be treated as a separate business from any other business carried on by the company.

(a) a friendly society registered before 1st June 1973 begins after 26th March 1974 to carry on business other than life or endowment business or, in the opinion of [F569 the Board], begins to carry on business other than life or endowment business on an enlarged scale or of a new character; and

(b) it appears to [F569 the Board], having regard to the restrictions imposed by this section on friendly societies registered later, that for the protection of the revenue it is expedient to do so;

[F570 the Board may give a direction to the society under subsection (7) below.]

[F571 (7) A direction under this subsection is that (and has the effect that) the society to which it is given is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as a society registered after 31st May 1973 with respect to business carried on after the date of the direction.

(8) A society to which a direction is given may, within 30 days of the date on which it is given, appeal against the direction to the Special Commissioners on the ground that—

(a) it has not begun to carry on business as mentioned in subsection (6)(a) above; or

(b) the direction is not necessary for the protection of the revenue.

(9) If a registered friendly society in respect of which a direction is in force under subsection (7) above becomes an incorporated friendly society, the direction shall continue to have effect, so that the incorporated friendly society shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as a society registered after 31st May 1973.]

(10) For the purposes of this section a registered friendly society formed on the amalgamation of two or more friendly societies shall be treated as registered before 1st June 1973 if at the time of the amalgamation subsection (2) above did not apply to any of the societies amalgamated, but otherwise shall be treated as registered at that time.

[F572 (11) For the purposes of this section and section 461C—

(b) was formed otherwise than by the incorporation of a registered friendly society or the amalgamation of two or more friendly societies and satisfies subsection (2) below, or

(c) was formed by the amalgamation of two or more friendly societies and satisfies subsection (3) below,

and in respect of which no direction under section 461C(5) is in force.

(2) A society satisfies this subsection if its business is limited to the provision, in accordance with the rules of the society, of benefits for or in respect of employees of a particular employer or such other group of persons as is for the time being approved for the purposes of this section by the [F575 Board].

(3) If at the time of the amalgamation referred to in subsection (1)(c) above—

(a) section 461(2) applied to none of the registered friendly societies being amalgamated (if any), and

493 Valuation of oil disposed of or appropriated in certain circumstances. U.K.

[F866 (A1) Where the conditions in subsection (A2) below are met in the case of a disposal of oil by a person, section 2(5A) of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (“the 1975 Act”) (transportation etc) is to apply in determining the amount which the person is to bring into account for the purposes of the charge to corporation tax on income in respect of the disposal as it applies (or would apply) for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax.

(A2) The conditions are that—

(a) the oil is oil won from an oil field in the United Kingdom,

(b) the disposal is a disposal of the oil by the person crude in a sale at arm's length, as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act,

(c) the circumstances are such that the price received or receivable—

(i) falls to be taken into account under section 2(5)(a) of that Act in computing for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to the person in any chargeable period from the oil field, or

(ii) would fall to be so taken into account, had the oil field been a taxable field, as defined in section 185 of the Finance Act 1993,

(d) the terms of the contract are such as are described in the opening words of section 2(5A) of the 1975 Act,

(e) apart from subsection (A1) above, the person is not entitled to a transportation allowance in respect of the oil (see subsection (A3)) in computing his ring fence profits,

(f) the person does not claim a transportation allowance in respect of the oil in computing for the purposes of corporation tax any profits of his that are not ring fence profits.

(A3) In subsection (A2) above “transportation allowance”, in relation to any oil, means any of the following—

(a) a deduction in respect of the expense of transporting the oil as mentioned in the opening words of section 2(5A) of the 1975 Act,

(b) a deduction in respect of any costs of or incidental to the transportation of the oil as there mentioned,

(c) any such reduction in the price to be regarded as received or receivable for the oil as would result from the application of section 2(5A) of the 1975 Act, if that provision applied for the purposes of corporation tax.]

(1) Where a person disposes of any oil in circumstances such that the market value of that oil F867 . . . falls to be taken into account under section 2 of [F868 the 1975 Act], otherwise than by virtue of paragraph 6 of Schedule 3 to that Act, in computing for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to him in any chargeable period from an oil field (or as would so fall but for section 10 of that Act), then—

(a) for all purposes of income tax, and

(b) for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income,

the disposal of the oil and its acquisition by the person to whom it was disposed of shall be treated as having been for a consideration equal to the market value of the oil as so taken into account under section 2 of that Act (or as would have been so taken into account under that section but for section 10 of that Act).

[F869 (1A) Where an excess of nominated proceeds in a chargeable period (within the meaning given by section 61 of the Finance Act 1987) is taken into account in computing a person's profits under section 2(5)(e) of the 1975 Act (or would be taken into account if the person were chargeable to tax under that Act in respect of a field)—

(a) for the purposes of subsection (1) the amount of the excess shall be added to the consideration which the person is deemed to have received in respect of oil disposed of by him in the period, and

(b) for the purposes of corporation tax, that amount shall be available to the person as a deduction in computing the profits of any trade to which section 492(1) does not apply.]

(2) Where a person makes a relevant appropriation of any oil without disposing of it and does so in circumstances such that the market value of that oil F870 . . . falls to be taken into account under section 2 of the 1975 Act in computing for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to him in any chargeable period from an oil field (or would so fall but for section 10 of that Act), then for all the purposes of income tax and for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income, he shall be treated—

(a) as having, at the time of the appropriation—

(i) sold the oil in the course of the separate trade consisting of activities [F871 falling within the definition of “oil-related activities” in section 16(2) of ITTOIA 2005 or within section 492(1)(a) or (b) above]; and

(ii) bought it in the course of the separate trade consisting of activities not so falling; and

(b) as having so sold and bought it at a price equal to its market value as so taken into account under section 2 of the 1975 Act (or as would have been so taken into account under that section but for section 10 of that Act).

In this subsection “relevant appropriation” has the meaning given by section 12(1) of the 1975 Act.

(3) Where—

(a) a person disposes otherwise than in a sale at arm’s length (as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act) of oil acquired by him in the course of oil extraction activities carried on by him or by virtue of oil rights held by him, and

(b) subsection (1) above does not apply in relation to the disposal,

then, for all purposes of income tax and for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income, the disposal of the oil and its acquisition by the person to whom it was disposed of shall be treated as having been for a consideration equal to the market value of the oil F872 . . . .

(4) If a person appropriates oil acquired by him in the course of oil extraction activities carried on by him or by virtue of oil rights held by him and the appropriation is to refining or to any use except for production purposes of an oil field, within the meaning of Part I of the 1975 Act, then, unless subsection (2) above applies, for all purposes of income tax and for the purposes of the charge of corporation tax on income—

(a) he shall be treated as having, at the time of the appropriation, sold and bought the oil as mentioned in subsection (2)(a)(i) and (ii) above; and

(b) that sale and purchase shall be deemed to have been at a price equal to the market value of the oil F873 . . . .

[F874 (5) For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4) above, paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act shall apply as it applies for the purposes of Part 1 of that Act, but with the following modifications—

(a) sub-paragraph (4) shall be treated as omitted;

(b) any reference in paragraphs 2 and 2A to oil being relevantly appropriated shall be construed as a reference to its being appropriated as mentioned in section 493(4) of the Taxes Act; and

(c) any reference in paragraph 2 to the notional delivery day for the actual oil shall be construed as a reference to the day on which the oil is disposed of or appropriated as mentioned in subsection (3) or (4) above.]

[F875 (6) In subsections (3) and (4) above the references to the market value of any oil in the calendar month in which a disposal of the oil was made or, as the case may be, in which it was appropriated shall each have effect in relation to light gases (within the meaning of the 1975 Act) as a reference to the amount which, if paragraph 3A of Schedule 3 to the 1975 Act applied, would be the market value of that oil in relation to the disposal or appropriation in question.]

(1) Subsection (2) below applies in any case where—

(a) a person has incurred expenditure (by way of purchase, rent or otherwise) on the acquisition of an asset in a transaction to which paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 to the 1975 Act applies (transactions between connected persons and otherwise than at arm’s length), and

(b) the expenditure incurred by the other person referred to in that paragraph in acquiring, bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset as mentioned in that paragraph has been or is to be met by a regional development grant and, in whole or in part, falls to be taken into account [F909 Part 2, 3 or 6 of the Capital Allowances Act (capital allowances relating to plant and machinery, industrial buildings or research and development)].

(2) Where this subsection applies, for the purposes of the charge of income tax or corporation tax on the income arising from those activities of the person referred to in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above which are treated by virtue of [F910 section 16(1) of ITTOIA 2005 or section 492(1) above] as a separate trade for those purposes, the expenditure referred to in that paragraph shall be treated as reduced by the amount of the regional development grant referred to in paragraph (b) of that subsection.

(3) Subsections (4) to (6) below apply where—

(a) expenditure incurred by any person in relation to an asset in any relevant period (“the initial period”) has been or is to be met by a regional development grant; and

(b) notwithstanding the provisions of section 137 of the M59 Finance Act 1982 and subsections (1) and (2) above, in determining that person’s liability to income tax or corporation tax for the initial period the whole or some part of that expenditure falls to be taken into account [F911 Part 2, 3 or 6 of the Capital Allowances Act]; and

(c) in a relevant period subsequent to the initial period either expenditure on the asset becomes allowable under section 3 or 4 of the 1975 Act or the proportion of any such expenditure which is allowable is different as compared with the initial period;

and in subsections (4) to (6) below the subsequent relevant period referred to in paragraph (c) above is referred to as “the adjustment period”.

(4) Where this subsection applies—

(a) there shall be redetermined for the purposes of subsections (5) and (6) below the amount of the expenditure referred to in subsection (3)(a) above which would have been taken into account as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) if the circumstances referred to in subsection (3)(c) had existed in the initial period; and

(b) according to whether the amount as so redetermined is greater or less than the amount actually taken into account as mentioned in subsection (3)(b), the difference is in subsections (5) and (6) below referred to as the increase or the reduction in the allowance.

(5) If there is an increase in the allowance, then, for the purposes of the provisions referred to in subsection (3)(b) above, an amount of capital expenditure equal to the increase shall be deemed to have been incurred by the person concerned in the adjustment period on an extension of or addition to the asset referred to in subsection (3)(a) above.

(6) If there is a reduction in the allowance, then, for the purpose of determining the liability to income tax or corporation tax of the person concerned, he shall be treated as having received in the adjustment period, as income of the trade in connection with which the expenditure referred to in subsection (3)(a) above was incurred, a sum equal to the amount of the reduction in the allowance.

(7) In this section—

• “regional development grant” [F912 means a grant falling within section 534(1) of the Capital Allowances Act]; and

• “relevant period” means an accounting period of a company or a year of assessment.

500 Deduction of PRT in computing income for corporation tax purposes. U.K.

(1) Where a participator in an oil field has paid any petroleum revenue tax with which he was chargeable for a chargeable period, then, in computing for corporation tax the amount of his income arising in the relevant accounting period from oil extraction activities or oil rights, there shall be deducted an amount equal to that petroleum revenue tax.

(2) There shall be made all such adjustments of assessments to corporation tax as are required in order to give effect to subsection (1) above.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (1) above, the relevant accounting period, in relation to any petroleum revenue tax paid by a company, is—

(a) the accounting period of the company in or at the end of which the chargeable period for which that tax was charged ends; or

(b) if that chargeable period ends after the accounting period of the company in or at the end of which the trade giving rise to the income referred to above is permanently discontinued, that accounting period.

(4) [F924 Subject to the following provisions of this section] if some or all of the petroleum revenue tax in respect of which a deduction has been made under subsection (1) above is subsequently repaid, that deduction shall be reduced or extinguished accordingly; and any additional assessment to corporation tax required in order to give effect to this subsection may be made at any time not later than six years after the end of the [F925 calendar year] in which the first-mentioned tax was repaid.

[F926 (5) If, in a case where paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 to the 1975 Act applies, an amount of petroleum revenue tax in respect of which a deduction has been made under subsection (1) above is repaid by virtue of an assessment under that Schedule or an amendment of such an assessment, then, so far as concerns so much of that repayment as constitutes the appropriate repayment,—

(a) subsection (4) above shall not apply; and

(b) the following provisions of this section shall apply in relation to the company which is entitled to the repayment.

(6) In subsection (5) above and the following provisions of this section—

(a) “the appropriate repayment” has the meaning assigned by sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 to the 1975 Act;

(b) in relation to the appropriate repayment, a “carried back loss” means an allowable loss which falls within sub-paragraph (1)(a) of that paragraph and which (alone or together with one or more other carried back losses) gives rise to the appropriate repayment;

(c) in relation to a carried back loss, “the operative chargeable period” means the chargeable period in which the loss accrued; and

(d) in relation to the company which is entitled to the appropriate repayment, “the relevant accounting period” means the accounting period in or at the end of which ends the operative chargeable period or, if the company’s ring fence trade is permanently discontinued before the end of the operative chargeable period, the last accounting period of that trade.

(7) In computing for corporation tax the amount of the company’s income arising in the relevant accounting period from oil extraction activities or oil rights there shall be added an amount equal to the appropriate repayment; but this subsection has effect subject to subsection (8) below in any case where—

(a) two or more carried back losses give rise to the appropriate repayment; and

(b) the operative chargeable period in relation to each of the carried back losses is not the same; and

(c) if subsection (6)(d) above were applied separately in relation to each of the carried back losses there would be more than one relevant accounting period.

(8) Where paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (7) above apply, the appropriate repayment shall be treated as apportioned between each of the relevant accounting periods referred to in paragraph (c) of that subsection in such manner as to secure that the amount added by virtue of that subsection in relation to each of those relevant accounting periods is what it would have been if—

(a) relief for each of the carried back losses for which there is a different operative chargeable period had been given by a separate assessment or amendment of an assessment under Schedule 2 to the 1975 Act; and

(b) relief for a carried back loss accruing in an earlier chargeable period had been so given before relief for a carried back loss accruing in a later chargeable period.

(9) Any additional assessment to corporation tax required in order to give effect to the addition of an amount by virtue of subsection (7) above may be made at any time not later than six years after the end of the calendar year in which is made the repayment of petroleum revenue tax comprising the appropriate repayment.

(10) In this section “allowable loss” and “chargeable period” have the same meaning as in Part I of the 1975 Act and “calendar year” means a period of twelve months beginning on 1st January.]

Where any amount of petroleum revenue tax paid by a participator in an oil field is, under any provision of Part I of the 1975 Act, repaid to him with interest, the amount of the interest paid to him shall be disregarded in computing the amount of his income for the purposes of corporation tax.

[F927 501A Supplementary charge in respect of ring fence trades U.K.

(1) Where in any accounting period beginning on or after 17th April 2002 a company carries on a ring fence trade, a sum equal to [F928 20 per cent] of its adjusted ring fence profits for that period shall be charged on the company as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on the company.

(2) A company’s adjusted ring fence profits for an accounting period are the amount which, on the assumption mentioned in subsection (3) below, would be determined for that period (in accordance with this Chapter) as the profits of the company’s ring fence trade chargeable to corporation tax.

(3) The assumption is that financing costs are left out of account in computing—

(a) the amount of the profits or loss of any ring fence trade of the company’s for each accounting period beginning on or after 17th April 2002; and

(4) For the purposes of this section, “financing costs” means the costs of debt finance.

[F930 (b) any exchange gain or loss from a debtor relationship, within the meaning of that Chapter (see section 103(1A) and (1B) of that Act), in relation to debt finance;]

[F931 (c) any credit or debit falling to be brought into account under Schedule 26 to the Finance Act 2002 (derivative contracts) in relation to debt finance;]

(d) the financing cost implicit in a payment under a finance lease;

[F932 (dd) where the company is the lessee under a long funding operating lease, the amount deductible in respect of payments under the lease in computing the profits of the lessee for the purposes of corporation tax (after first making against any such amount any reductions falling to be made by virtue of section 502K); and]

(e) any other costs arising from what would be considered in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice to be a financing transaction.

(6) Where an amount representing the whole or part of a payment falling to be made by a company—

(a) falls (or would fall) to be treated as a finance charge under a finance lease for the purposes of accounts relating to that company and one or more other companies and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, but

(b) is not so treated in the accounts of the company,

the amount shall be treated for the purposes of this section as financing costs falling within subsection (5)(d) above.

(7) If—

(a) in computing the adjusted ring fence profits of a company for an accounting period, an amount falls to be left out of account by virtue of subsection (5)(d) above, but

(b) the whole or any part of that amount is repaid,

the repayment shall also be left out of account in computing the adjusted ring fence profits of the company for any accounting period.

(8) In this section “finance lease” means any arrangements—

(a) which provide for an asset to be leased or otherwise made available by a person to another person (“the lessee”), and

(b) which, under generally accepted accounting practice,—

(i) fall (or would fall) to be treated, in the accounts of the lessee or a person connected with the lessee, as a finance lease or a loan, or

(ii) are comprised in arrangements which fall (or would fall) to be so treated.

(9) For the purposes of applying subsection (8)(b) above, the lessee and any person connected with the lessee are to be treated as being companies which are incorporated in a part of the United Kingdom.

(10) In this section “accounts”, in relation to a company, includes any accounts which—

(a) relate to two or more companies of which that company is one, and

[F933 (b) are drawn up in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.]

  to the place where the oil is first landed in the United Kingdom, or

  (ii)

  to the place in the United Kingdom or, in the case of oil first landed in another country, the place in that or any other country (other than the United Kingdom) at which the seller in a sale at arm’s length could reasonably be expected to deliver it or, if there is more than one such place, the one nearest to the place of extraction]; or

  (d)

(3) For the purposes of this Chapter two companies are associated with one another if—

(c) of any share capital which it owns directly or indirectly in a body corporate not resident in the United Kingdom.”]

(4) Without prejudice to subsection (3) above, for the purposes of this Chapter, two companies are also associated with one another if one has control of the other or both are under the control of the same person or persons; and in this subsection “control” shall be construed in accordance with section 416.

Lessors under long funding operating leases U.K.

502E Lessor under long funding operating lease: periodic deduction U.K.

(1) This section applies for determining for the purposes of corporation tax the profits of a company for any period of account—

(a) for the whole of which, or

(b) for any part of which,

the company is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease.

(2) A deduction is allowed in computing the profits of the company for the period of account.

(3) The amount of the deduction for any period of account is to be determined as follows.

(4) First, find the “relevant value” for the purposes of subsection (6)(a) below, which is—

(a) if the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, cost;

(b) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, market value;

(c) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the recognised value;

(d) if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the lower of cost and market value;

(e) if the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, but—

(i) the plant or machinery is brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1st April 2006, and

(ii) that qualifying activity is the leasing of the plant or machinery under the long funding operating lease,

the relevant value is the lower of first use market value and first use amortised value.

(5) In subsection (4) above—

• “cost” means the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery;

• “first use amortised value” means the value that the plant or machinery would have at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity, on the assumption that—

  (a)

  the cost of acquiring the plant or machinery had been written off on a straight line basis over the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery, and

  (b)

  any further capital expenditure incurred had been written off on a straight line basis over so much of the remaining economic life of the plant or machinery as remains at the time when the expenditure is incurred;

• “first use market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity;

• “market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the long funding operating lease;

• “recognised value” means the value at which the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other financial records of the lessor at the commencement of the long funding operating lease.

(6) From—

(a) the relevant value determined in accordance with subsection (4) above,

subtract

(b) the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is (or, in a case falling within subsection (4)(e) above, would have been) expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery,

to find the expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease.

(7) Apportion the amount of that expected gross reduction in value to each period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.

(8) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each period of account.

(9) The amount of the deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.

502F Long funding operating lease: lessor's additional expenditure U.K.

(1) This section applies if in any period of account—

(a) a company is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease,

(b) the company incurs capital expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery, and

(c) that capital expenditure (the “additional expenditure”) is not reflected in the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease.

(2) In a case falling within section 502E(4)(e) above, subsection (1)(c) above has effect as if the reference to the commencement of the term of the lease were a reference to the time when the plant or machinery is first brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

(3) Where this section applies, an additional deduction is allowed in computing the profits of the company for each post-expenditure period of account in which the company is the lessor of the plant or machinery under the lease.

(4) The amount of the deduction for any such period of account is to be determined as follows.

(5) Find ARV, CRV, PRV, and TRV where—

• “ARV” is the amount which, at the time when the additional expenditure is incurred, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;

• “CRV” is the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;

• “PRV” is the sum of any amounts that fell to be taken into account as RRV (see subsection (6)) in the application of this section in relation to any previous additional expenditure incurred by the company in relation to the leased plant or machinery;

• “TRV” is the total of CRV and PRV.

(6) Find RRV, where—

(a) if ARV exceeds TRV, RRV is the portion of the excess that is a result of the additional expenditure, but

(b) if ARV does not exceed TRV, RRV is nil.

(7) From—

(a) the amount of the additional expenditure,

subtract

(b) RRV,

to find the expected partial reduction in value over the remainder of the term of the lease.

(8) Apportion the amount of that expected partial reduction in value to each post-expenditure period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.

(9) The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each post-expenditure period of account.

(10) The amount of the additional deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.

(11) In this section “post-expenditure period of account” means any period of account ending after the incurring of the additional expenditure.

502G Lessor under long funding operating lease: termination of lease U.K.

(1) This section applies for determining the liability to corporation tax of a company which is the lessor immediately before the termination of a long funding operating lease.

(2) Step 1 is to find—

(a) the termination amount (TA);

(b) the total of any sums paid to the lessee that are calculated by reference to the termination value (LP).

(3) Step 2 is to find—

(a) the relevant value for the purposes of section 502E(6)(a) (RV);

(b) the total of the deductions allowable under section 502E for periods of account for the whole or part of which the company was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD1);

(c) the amount, if any, (ERV) by which RV exceeds TD1.

(4) Step 3 is to find—

(a) the total of any amounts of capital expenditure incurred by the company which constitute additional expenditure for the purposes of section 502F in the case of the lease (TAE);

(b) the total of any deductions allowable under section 502F for periods of account for the whole or part of which the company was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD2);

(c) the amount, if any, (EAE) by which TAE exceeds TD2.

(5) Step 4 is to find the total of ERV and EAE (T).

(6) If (TA – LP) exceeds T, treat a profit of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the company in the period of account in which the lease terminates.

(7) If T exceeds (TA – LP), treat a loss of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the company in that period of account.

(8) A profit or loss treated as arising to the company under subsection (6) or (7) above is to be treated—

(a) in the case of a profit, as income of the company attributable to the lease,

(b) in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the company in connection with the lease.

(9) In computing the profits of the company, no deduction is allowed in respect of any sums paid to the lessee that are calculated by reference to the termination value.

• [F1020 “charitable expenditure” means (subject to subsections (3) to (5) below) expenditure which is exclusively for charitable purposes.]

(2) M68 For the purposes of section 505 F1021 . . . , where expenditure which is not actually incurred in a particular [F1022 accounting] period properly falls to be charged against the income of that [F1022 accounting] period as being referable to commitments (whether or not of a contractual nature) which the [F1023 charitable company] has entered into before or during that period, it shall be treated as incurred in that period.

(3) A payment made (or to be made) to a body situated outside the United Kingdom shall not be [F1024 charitable expenditure] by virtue of this section unless the [F1025 charitable company] concerned has taken such steps as may be reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the payment will be applied for charitable purposes.

(4) M69 If in any [F1026 accounting] period a [F1027 charitable company]—

(a) invests any of its funds in an investment which is not a qualifying investment, as defined in Part I of Schedule 20; or
