432A Apportionment of income and gains. U.K.

[F2 (1) This section has effect where in any period an insurance company carries on more than one category of business and it is necessary for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts to determine in relation to the period what parts of—

(a) income arising from the assets of the company’s long term business fund, or

(b) gains or losses accruing on the disposal of such assets,

are referable to any category of business.

(2) The categories of business referred to in subsection (1) above are—

(a) pension business;

(b) life reinsurance business;

(c) overseas life assurance business;

(d) basic life assurance and general annuity business which is ordinary life assurance business;

(e) basic life assurance and general annuity business which is industrial assurance business; and

(f) long term business other than life assurance business.

(3) Income arising from, and gains or losses accruing on the disposal of, assets linked to any category of business (apart from overseas life assurance business) shall be referable to that category of business.]

(4) Income arising from, and gains or losses accruing on the disposal of, assets of the overseas life assurance fund (and no other assets) shall be referable to overseas life assurance business.

(5) There shall be referable to any category of business (apart from overseas life assurance business) the relevant fraction of any income, gains or losses not directly referable to [F3 any category] of business.

(6) For the purposes of subsection (5) above “the relevant fraction”, in relation to a category of business, is the fraction of which—

(a) the numerator is the aggregate of—

(i) the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the category, reduced by the mean of the opening and closing values of any assets directly referable to the category, and

(ii) the mean of the appropriate parts of the opening and closing amounts of the investment reserve; and

(b) the denominator is the aggregate of—

(i) the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the long term business, reduced by the mean of the opening and closing values of any assets directly referable to [F3 any category] of business, and

(ii) the mean of the opening and closing amounts of the investment reserve.

[F4 (7) For the purposes of subsections (5) and (6) above—

(a) income, gains or losses are directly referable to a category of business if referable to that category by virtue of subsection (3) or (4) above, and

(b) assets are directly referable to a category of business if income arising from the assets is, and gains or losses accruing on the disposal of the assets are, so referable by virtue of subsection (3) above.]

(8) In subsection (6) above “appropriate part”, in relation to the investment reserve, means—

(a) where all of the liabilities of the long term business are linked liabilities, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the liabilities of the category of business in question bears to the whole amount of the liabilities of the long term business,

(b) where any of the liabilities of the long term business are not linked liabilities but none (or none but an insignificant proportion) are with-profits liabilities, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the liabilities of the category of business in question which are not linked liabilities bears to the whole amount of the liabilities of the long term business which are not linked liabilities, and

(c) in any other case, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the with-profits liabilities of the category of business in question bears to the whole amount of the with-profits liabilities of the long term business;

and in this subsection “linked liabilities” means liabilities in respect of benefits to be determined by reference to the value of linked assets.

[F5 (9) Where a company carries on overseas life assurance business—

(a) references in this section to liabilities do not include liabilities of that business, and

(b) the appropriate part of the investment reserve as defined by paragraph 4(2)(a) of Schedule 19AA shall be left out of account in determining that reserve for the purposes of this section.]
