Manufactured interest on UK securities: general U.K.

3 (1) This paragraph applies (subject to paragraph 3A below) in any case where, under a contract or other arrangements for the transfer of United Kingdom securities, one of the parties (an “interest manufacturer”) is required to pay to the other (“the recipient”) an amount (“the manufactured interest”) which is representative of a periodical payment of interest on the securities.

(2) For the relevant purposes of the Tax Acts, in their application in relation to the interest manufacturer—

(a) the manufactured interest shall be treated, except in determining whether it is deductible, as if it—

(i) were an annual payment to the recipient, but

(ii) were neither yearly interest nor an amount payable wholly out of profits or gains brought into charge for income tax;

(b) the gross amount of that deemed annual payment shall be taken—

(i) to be equal to the gross amount of the interest of which the manufactured interest is representative; and

(ii) to constitute income of the recipient falling within section 1A;

and

(c) an amount equal to so much of the gross amount of the manufactured interest as is not otherwise deductible shall be allowable as a deduction against the total income or, as the case may be, total profits of the interest manufacturer [F35 , but only to the extent that—

(i) it would be so allowable if it were interest, or

(ii) so far as not falling within sub-paragraph (i) above, it falls within sub-paragraph (2A) below].

[F36 (2A) An amount of manufactured interest falls within this sub-paragraph if and to the extent that the interest manufacturer—

(a) receives the periodical payment of interest on the securities which is represented by the manufactured interest, or receives a payment which is representative of that periodical payment of interest, and is chargeable to income tax [F37 (and see section 714(5) for the amount so chargeable in a case where section 714(4) applies)] on the periodical payment or representative payment so received;

[F38 (b) is, by virtue of section 714(2), chargeable to income tax on [F39 income] in respect of transfers of securities which are subject to the arrangement giving rise to the payment of manufactured interest; or]

(c) is treated under section 730A (repos) as receiving a payment of interest in respect of the securities and is chargeable to income tax on that payment.

(2B) Where an amount is allowable under sub-paragraph (2)(c) above by reference to the whole or any part of—

(a) a periodical payment of interest, or a payment representative of such a payment, falling within paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (2A) above,

(b) a sum falling within paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph, or

(c) a payment of interest which a person is treated as receiving, as mentioned in paragraph (c) of that sub-paragraph,

(the “utilised portion” of the interest, sum or other payment) no other amount shall be allowable under sub-paragraph (2)(c) above by reference to all or any of the utilised portion of the interest, sum or other payment.]

(3) For the relevant purposes of the Tax Acts, in their application in relation to the recipient and any persons claiming title through or under him—

(a) the manufactured interest shall be treated as if it were a periodical payment of interest on the securities in question; and

(b) the gross amount of that deemed periodical payment of interest shall be taken to be equal to the gross amount of the interest of which the manufactured interest is representative.

(4) Sub-paragraph (2) above shall not require any deduction of tax to be made by the interest manufacturer if—

(a) the interest manufacturer is not resident in the United Kingdom, and

(b) the manufactured interest is paid otherwise than in the course of a trade carried on by the interest manufacturer in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency.

(5) Where, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (4)(a) and (b) above, the recipient—

(a) is resident in the United Kingdom, or

(b) (without being so resident) receives the manufactured interest for the purposes of a trade carried on by him in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency,

the recipient shall be liable to account for income tax in respect of the manufactured interest.

(6) The amount of the income tax for which the recipient is liable to account under sub-paragraph (5) above is the amount equal to the income tax which the interest manufacturer, had he been resident in the United Kingdom, would have been required, in respect of the manufactured interest, to account for and pay by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) above.

(7) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) above, if the interest manufacturer is a company which—

(a) is not resident in the United Kingdom, but

(b) carries on a trade in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency,

Schedule 16 shall have effect in relation to the manufactured interest as it has effect in the case of a company which is resident in the United Kingdom but as if, in paragraph 7, the words “section 11(3)” were substituted for the words “section 7(2)”.

(8) Where sub-paragraph (2) above has effect in the case of any manufactured interest so as to require any amount to be deducted by way of tax from the gross amount of the manufactured interest, the interest manufacturer shall, on paying the manufactured interest, provide the recipient with a statement in writing setting out—

(a) the gross amount of the manufactured interest;

(b) the amount deducted by way of tax by the interest manufacturer;

(c) the amount actually paid by the interest manufacturer; and

(d) the date of the payment by the interest manufacturer.

(9) The duty imposed by sub-paragraph (8) above shall be enforceable at the suit or instance of the recipient.

(10) The references in this paragraph to an amount being deductible are references to its being either—

(a) deductible in computing the amount of any of the interest manufacturer’s profits or gains for the purposes of income tax or corporation tax; or

(b) deductible for those purposes from the total income or, as the case may be, total profits of the interest manufacturer.

(11) For the purposes of this paragraph “the relevant purposes of the Tax Acts” means all the purposes of those Acts except the purposes of Chapter II of Part IV of the M1 Finance Act 1996 (loan relationships).

(12) Without prejudice to the generality of section 80(5) of the Finance Act 1996 (matters to be brought into account only under that Chapter), this paragraph does not have effect for determining how any manufactured interest falls to be treated for any purpose in relation to a company in relation to which that interest falls to be treated in accordance with section 97 of that Act.

(13) For the purposes of this paragraph references to the gross amount of any interest or payment are references to the amount of the interest or payment before the making of any deduction of income tax that is required to be deducted from it on its being paid or made.

Textual Amendments

F41 Sch. 23A inserted by Finance Act 1991 (c. 31, SIF 63:1), s. 58, Sch. 13 para.1 (with effect as mentioned in s. 58(3) in relation to payments made on or after such day as may be specified: 26.2.1992 specified for certain purposes by S.I. 1992/173, reg.2; 30.6.1992 specified for certain purposes by S.I. 1992/1346, regs.2, 3, 4; 21.4.1993 specified for certain purposes by S.I. 1993/933, regs.2, 3(b), 4)

F42 4 (1) This paragraph applies in any case where, under a contract or other arrangements for the transfer of overseas securities, one of the parties (the “overseas dividend manufacturer”) is required to pay to the other (“the recipient”) an amount representative of an overseas dividend on the overseas securities; and in this Schedule the “manufactured overseas dividend” means any payment which the overseas dividend manufacturer makes in discharge of that requirement.

[F43 (1A) Where a manufactured overseas dividend is paid as set out in sub-paragraph (1) above it shall be treated—

(a) as an expense of the trade where a company carries on a trade to which that payment relates;

(b) where a company has investment business to which the payment relates, for the purposes of section 75 as expenses of management;

(c) in the case of a company carrying on life assurance business—

(i) so far as the payment is referable to basic life assurance and general annuity business, for the purposes of section 76 as if it were an expense payable falling to be brought into account at Step 3 of subsection (7) of that section, and

(ii) the payment is to be treated as referable to basic life assurance and general annuity business to the extent that the overseas dividend of which it is representative is or would, if it were received by the company, be so referable by virtue of section 432A.]

(2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where this paragraph applies the gross amount of the manufactured overseas dividend shall be treated [F44 , except in determining whether it is deductible,] for all purposes of the Tax Acts as an annual payment, within section 349, but—

(a) the amount which is to be deducted from that gross amount on account of income tax shall be an amount equal to the relevant withholding tax on that gross amount; and

(b) in the application of [F45 section 350(4)] in relation to manufactured overseas dividends the [F46 reference] to Schedule 16 shall be taken as [F46 reference] to dividend manufacturing regulations;

and paragraph (a) above is without prejudice to any further amount required to be deducted under dividend manufacturing regulations by virtue of sub-paragraph (8) below.

[F47 (2A) Sub-paragraph (10) of paragraph 3 applies for the construction of the reference in sub-paragraph (2) above to an amount being deductible as it applies to references in that paragraph.]

(3) If, in a case where this paragraph applies, the overseas dividend manufacturer is not resident in the United Kingdom and the manufactured overseas dividend is paid by him otherwise than in the course of a trade which he carries on through a branch or agency in the United Kingdom, sub-paragraph (2) above shall not apply; but if the manufactured overseas dividend is received by [F48 a United Kingdom recipient, that recipient shall] account for and pay an amount of tax in respect of the manufactured overseas dividend equal to that which the overseas dividend manufacturer would have been required to account for and pay had he been resident in the United Kingdom; and any reference in this Schedule to an amount deducted under sub-paragraph (2) above includes a reference to an amount of tax accounted for and paid under this sub-paragraph.

[F49 (3A) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) above a person who receives a manufactured overseas dividend is a United Kingdom recipient if—

(a) he is resident in the United Kingdom; or

(b) he is not so resident but receives that dividend for the purposes of a trade carried on through a branch or agency in the United Kingdom.

(3B) Dividend manufacturing regulations may make provision, in relation to cases falling within sub-paragraph (3) above, for the amount of tax required under that sub-paragraph to be taken to be reduced, to such extent and for such purposes as may be determined under the regulations, by reference to amounts of overseas tax charged on, or in respect of—

(a) the making of the manufactured overseas dividend; or

(b) the overseas dividend of which the manufactured overseas dividend is representative.]

(4) Where a manufactured overseas dividend is paid after deduction of the amount required by sub-paragraph (2) above, or where the amount of tax required under sub-paragraph (3) above in respect of such a dividend has been accounted for and paid, then for all purposes of the Tax Acts as they apply in relation to persons resident in the United Kingdom or to persons not so resident but carrying on business through a branch or agency in the United Kingdom—

(a) the manufactured overseas dividend shall be treated in relation to the recipient, and all persons claiming title through or under him, as if it were an overseas dividend of an amount equal to the gross amount of the manufactured overseas dividend, but paid after the withholding therefrom, on account of overseas tax, of the amount deducted under sub-paragraph (2) above; and

(b) the amount so deducted shall accordingly be treated in relation to the recipient, and all persons claiming title through or under him, as an amount so withheld instead of as an amount on account of income tax.

(5) For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a) “relevant withholding tax”, in relation to the gross amount of a manufactured overseas dividend, means an amount of tax representative of—

(i) the amount (if any) that would have been deducted by way of overseas tax from an overseas dividend on the overseas securities of the same gross amount as the manufactured overseas dividend; and

(ii) the amount of the overseas tax credit (if any) in respect of such an overseas dividend;

(b) the gross amount of a manufactured overseas dividend is an amount equal to the gross amount of that overseas dividend of which the manufactured overseas dividend is representative, as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above; and

(c) the gross amount of an overseas dividend is an amount equal to the aggregate of—

(i) so much of the overseas dividend as remains after the deduction of the overseas tax (if any) chargeable on it;

(ii) the amount of the overseas tax (if any) so deducted; and

(iii) the amount of the overseas tax credit (if any) in respect of the overseas dividend.

(6) Dividend manufacturing regulations may make provision with respect to the rates of relevant withholding tax which are to apply in relation to manufactured overseas dividends in relation to different overseas territories, but in prescribing those rates the Treasury shall have regard to—

(a) the rates at which overseas tax would have fallen to be deducted, and

(b) the rates of overseas tax credits,

in overseas territories, or in the particular overseas territory, in respect of payments of overseas dividends on overseas securities.

(7) Dividend manufacturing regulations may make provision for a person who, in any chargeable period, is an overseas dividend manufacturer to be entitled in prescribed circumstances to set off [F50 in accordance with the regulations and to the prescribed extent, amounts falling within paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (7AA) below against the sums falling within paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph, and to account]to the Board for, or as the case may be, claim credit in respect of, the balance.

[F51 (7AA) Those amounts and sums are—

(a) amounts of overseas tax in respect of overseas dividends received by him in that chargeable period, amounts of overseas tax charged on, or in respect of, the making of manufactured overseas dividends so received by him and amounts deducted under sub-paragraph (2) above from any such manufactured overseas dividends; and

(b) the sums due from him on account of the amounts deducted by him under sub-paragraph (2) above from the manufactured overseas dividends paid by him in that chargeable period.]

Manufactured payments under arrangements having an unallowable purpose U.K.

7A (1) This paragraph applies in any case where—

(a) a manufactured payment falls to be made by a company in an accounting period in pursuance of any arrangements (see sub-paragraphs (9) and (10) for definitions), and

(b) the arrangements have an unallowable purpose at any time (see sub-paragraphs (3) to (5)).

But this is subject to sub-paragraph (8) below (cases where tax relief is denied apart from this paragraph).

(2) The company is not entitled, by virtue of anything in this Schedule or any provision of regulations under it, or otherwise, to any relevant tax relief (see sub-paragraph (10)), to the extent that the relief is in respect of, or referable to, the whole or any part of so much of the manufactured payment as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, is attributable to the unallowable purpose.

(3) Arrangements have an unallowable purpose at any time if at that time the purposes for which the company is a party to—

(a) the arrangements,

(b) any related transaction (see sub-paragraphs (6) and (7)), or

(c) any transaction in pursuance of the arrangements,

include a purpose (“the unallowable purpose”) which is not among the business or other commercial purposes of the company.

(4) The business and other commercial purposes of a company do not include the purposes of any part of its activities in respect of which it is not within the charge to corporation tax.

(5) Where one of the purposes for which a company is at any time a party to—

(a) any arrangements,

(b) any related transaction in the case of any arrangements, or

(c) any transaction in pursuance of any arrangements,

is a tax avoidance purpose, that purpose shall be taken to be a business or other commercial purpose of the company only where it is not the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, for which the company is party to the arrangements or transaction at that time.

(6) One or more transactions are to be regarded as related transactions, in the case of any arrangements, if it would be reasonable to assume, from either or both of—

(a) the likely effect of the transactions, and

(b) the circumstances in which the transactions are entered into or effected,

that none of the transactions would have been entered into or effected independently of the arrangements.

(7) Transactions are not prevented from being related transactions, in the case of any arrangements, just because the transactions—

(a) are not between the same parties, or

(b) are not between the parties to the arrangements.

(8) This paragraph does not apply if, as a result of any of the following provisions—

(a) section 75(4)(b) (expenses of management of companies with investment business: unallowable purposes),

(b) section 76(4)(d) (expenses of insurance companies: unallowable purposes),

(c) paragraph 13 of Schedule 9 to the Finance Act 1996 (loan relationships with unallowable purposes),
