SCHEDULE 28ABSection 804ZA: prescribed schemes and arrangements

Effect of paying foreign tax

3

1

This paragraph applies to a scheme or arrangement if, under the scheme or arrangement, sub-paragraph (2) is satisfied in relation to a person who has claimed, or is in a position to claim, for a chargeable period an allowance under any arrangements by way of credit for foreign tax (“the claimant”).

2

This sub-paragraph is satisfied if—

a

an amount of foreign tax is paid F1or payable by the claimant, and

b

at the time when the claimant entered into the scheme or arrangement, it could reasonably be expected that the effect F2on the foreign tax total of that amount being so paid or payable would be to increase it by less than the amount allowable to the claimant as a credit in respect of the payment of that amount of foreign tax.

3

The foreign tax total is the amount found by—

a

aggregating the amounts of foreign tax paid or payable in respect of the transaction or transactions forming part of the scheme or arrangement by persons party to, or concerned in, the scheme or arrangement, and

b

taking into account any reliefs, deductions, reductions or allowances against or in respect of any tax that arise to the persons party to, or concerned in, the scheme or arrangement (including any reliefs, deductions, reductions or allowances arising to any one or more of those persons as a consequence of F3that amount of foreign tax being paid or payable by the claimant).
