6D (1) This paragraph applies in any case where—

(a) a company (“the issuing company”) has liabilities under a security issued by the company,

(b) those liabilities are to any extent the subject of a guarantee provided by a company (“the guarantor company”), and

(c) in computing the profits and losses of the issuing company for tax purposes, the amounts to be deducted in respect of interest or other amounts payable under the security fall to be reduced (whether or not to nil) under paragraph 1(2) above by virtue of paragraph 1B above.

(2) On the making of a claim in any such case, the guarantor company shall, to the extent of that reduction, be treated for all purposes of the Taxes Acts as if it (and not the issuing company)—

(a) had issued the security,

(b) owed the liabilities under it, and

(c) had paid any interest or other amounts paid under it by the issuing company,

and in computing the profits and losses of the guarantor company for those purposes amounts shall be brought into account accordingly.

This sub-paragraph is subject to the following provisions of this paragraph.

(3) Where the issuing company’s liabilities under the security are the subject of two or more guarantees (whether or not provided by the same person) TD must not exceed TR, where—

• TD is the total of the amounts brought into account by the guarantor companies by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) above, and

• TR is the total amount of the reductions that fall within sub-paragraph (1)(c) above.

(4) In this paragraph “the loan provision” means the actual provision made or imposed between—

(a) the issuing company, and

(b) another company (“the lending company”),

which is provision in relation to the security.

(5) Where—

(a) the guarantor company makes a claim under sub-paragraph (2) above, and

(b) the lending company makes a claim under paragraph 6 above in respect of the loan provision,

sub-paragraphs (6) and (7) below apply.

(6) In determining, in a case where this sub-paragraph applies, the arm’s length provision for the purposes of paragraph 6(2)(a) above in relation to the lending company’s claim, additional amounts shall be brought into account as credits corresponding to the debits that fall to be brought into account by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) above in relation to the guarantor company.

(7) If, in a case where this sub-paragraph applies,—

(a) the lending company makes its claim under paragraph 6 above before the guarantor company makes its claim under sub-paragraph (2) above, and

(b) the computation on which the lending company’s claim is based does not comply with sub-paragraph (6) above,

the guarantor company’s claim shall be disallowed.

(8) A claim under sub-paragraph (2) above may be made by—

(a) the guarantor company,

(b) where there are two or more guarantor companies, those companies acting together, or

(c) the issuing company,

but any claim made by the issuing company shall be taken to be made on behalf of the guarantor company or companies.

(9) Sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) of paragraph 6 above (claims and time limits) shall apply in relation to a claim under sub-paragraph (2) above made by or on behalf of any person or persons as they apply in relation to a claim under that paragraph made by the disadvantaged person, but taking references in those sub-paragraphs—

(a) to the advantaged person, as references to the issuing company, and

(b) to the disadvantaged person, as references to the guarantor company or companies.

(a) sub-paragraph (7) (construction of references to a guarantee);

(b) sub-paragraph (9) (meaning of security);
