(4)Where it appears to the Board that the beginning or end of any accounting period of a company resident outside the United Kingdom is uncertain, [F6the Board may by notice] specify as an accounting period of the company such period, not exceeding 12 months, as appears to the Board to be appropriate, and that period shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as an accounting period of the company unless [F7the notice] is subsequently amended under subsection (5) below.

(b)any amount which (on those assumptions) would fall to be set off against corporation tax on those chargeable profits by virtue of section 7(2); and
