(1)The Board may by regulations make provision with respect to any year of assessment requiring any building society—
(a)in such cases as may be prescribed by the regulations to deduct out of any dividend or interest paid or credited in the year in respect of shares in, or deposits with or loans to, the society a sum representing the amount of income tax on it, and
(b)to account for and pay any amount required to be deducted by the society by virtue of this subsection.
[F4(1A)Regulations under subsection (1) above may not make provision with respect to any dividend or interest paid or credited, on or after the day on which the Finance Act 1991 was passed, in respect of a security (other than a qualifying certificate of deposit [F5and other than a qualifying deposit right]]) which was quoted, or capable of being quoted, on a recognised stock exchange at the time the dividend or interest became payable.
(2)Regulations under subsection (1) above may—
(a)make provision with respect to the furnishing of information by building societies or their investors, including, in the case of societies, the inspection of books, documents and other records on behalf of the Board;
(b)contain such incidental and consequential provisions as appear to the Board to be appropriate, including provisions requiring the making of returns.
(3)For any year of assessment to which regulations under subsection (1) above apply, dividends or interest payable in respect of shares in, or deposits with or loans to, a building society shall be dealt with for the purposes of corporation tax as follows—
(a)in computing for any accounting period ending in the year of assessment the income of the society from the trade carried on by it, there shall be allowed as a deduction the actual amount paid or credited in the accounting period of any such dividends or interest, together with any amount of income tax accounted for and paid by the society in respect thereof;
(b)no part of any such dividends or interest paid or credited in the year of assessment shall be treated as a distribution of the society or as franked investment income of any company resident in the United Kingdom.
[F6(3A)Subsection (3B) below applies in the case of a dividend or interest payable in respect of any security (other than a qualifying certificate of deposit [F5and other than a qualifying deposit right]]) which is quoted, or capable of being quoted, on a recognised stock exchange at the time the dividend or interest becomes payable.
(3B)Where the amount payable by way of dividend or interest represents more than a reasonable commercial return for the use of the principal to which the security relates, the amount deductible in respect of the dividend or interest under subsection (3)(a) above shall not exceed an amount equal to the amount which would have represented a reasonable commercial return for the use of that principal.
(3C)For the purposes of subsection (3B) above, no amount shall be regarded as representing the principal to which a security relates in so far as it exceeds any new consideration which has been received by the society for the issue of the security.
(4)Subsection (3)(a) above shall apply to any terminal bonus paid by the society under a certified contractual savings scheme as if it were a dividend on a share in the society.
(5)Notwithstanding anything in sections 64, 66 and 67, for any year of assessment to which regulations under subsection (1) above apply income tax chargeable under Case III of Schedule D shall, in the case of any relevant sum, be computed on the full amount of the income arising in the year of assessment.
(6)For the purposes of subsection (5) above a sum is relevant if it is a sum in respect of which a liability to deduct income tax—
(a)is imposed by regulations under subsection (1) above, or
(b)would be so imposed if a certificate were not supplied, in accordance with the regulations, to the effect that the person beneficially entitled to the sum is unlikely to be liable to pay any amount by way of income tax for the year of assessment in which the sum is paid.
(7)Notwithstanding anything in sections 348 to 350, for any year of asessment to which regulations under subsection (1) above apply income tax shall not be deducted upon payment to the society of any interest on advances, being interest payable in that year.
(8)Subsection (7) above shall not apply to any payment of relevant loan interest to which section 369 applies.
(9)In this section “dividend” has the meaning given by regulations under subsection (1) above, but any sum which is paid by a building society by way of dividend and which is not paid under deduction of income tax shall be treated for the purposes of Schedule D as paid by way of interest.]
[F7(10)In this section—
“qualifying certificate of deposit” has the same meaning as in section 349, and
F8 “qualifying deposit right” has the meaning given by section 349(4), reading “paid” as “paid or credited”, and]

(1)M19Any savings bank other than a savings bank which is the successor or further successor to an existing trustee savings bank shall on making a claim be entitled to exemption from income tax and corporation tax in respect of the income of its funds to the extent that such income is applied in the payment or credit of interest to any depositor; but, subject to section 325, any such interest shall be chargeable under Case III of Schedule D.
(2)M20Any gain or loss accruing to a savings bank which is the successor to an existing trustee savings bank on a disposal of an exempt investment held by that existing bank on 21st November 1979, may, if that existing bank has so elected, be computed by reference to the cost of the investment instead of by reference to its market value on the latter date and, in the case of a loss, without any restriction under section [F28126A(1)].
(3)In subsection (2) above the reference to an election is a reference to an election under paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 11 to the Finance Act 1980 (under which the election must have been by notice in writing given to the Board within two years after 21st November 1979, and has effect in relation to all exempt investments held by the bank on that date).
(4)Where a savings bank which is the successor to an existing trustee savings bank holds investments which include both exempt investments held by the existing bank on 21st November 1979 and other investments of the same class, any investments of that class which are disposed of by the successor shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (2) above as consisting of the other investments rather than of the exempt investments held on that date.
(5)In this section references to exempt investments held by an existing trustee savings bank on 21st November 1979 are to investments on the disposal of which immediately before that date no chargeable gain or allowable loss would have accrued to the bank by virtue of section 67 of the 1979 Act (gilt-edged securities held for more than a year).
(6)M21In this section “successor” and “existing”, in relation to a trustee savings bank, have the meanings given by section 1 of the M22Trustee Savings Bank Act 1985, and “further successor” has the meaning given by paragraph 9 of Schedule 2 to that Act.
