[F4(11)For the purposes of this section the policy holders' part of any BLAGAB apportioned profit is—

(a)the policy holders' share of the UK company’s relevant profits for the relevant accounting period, by

(a)pension business,
(b)life reinsurance business,
(c)overseas life assurance business, or

carried on by the UK company is the part which would have been so referable under section 432A had the apportioned profit been a dividend paid to the UK company at the end of the accounting period mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above in respect of the property or rights which represent the UK company’s relevant interest in the controlled foreign company.
(14)For the purposes of this section, any attribution of creditable tax to a particular part of the apportioned profit shall be made in the proportion which that part of the apportioned profit bears to the whole of the apportioned profit.]
