[F1804A[F2Life assurance companies with overseas branches etc: restriction of credit.]U.K.

[F3(1)Subsection (2) below applies where credit for tax—

(a)which is payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom in respect of insurance business carried on by a company through a [F4permanent establishment] in that territory, and

(b)which is computed otherwise than wholly by reference to profits arising in that territory,

is to be allowed (in accordance with this Part) against corporation tax charged under [F5section 35 of CTA 2009 (charge on trade profits) or section 436A] in respect of the profits, computed in accordance with the provisions applicable [F6for the purposes of section 35 of CTA 2009], of life assurance business or [F7gross roll-up business] carried on by the company in an accounting period (in this section referred to as “the relevant profits”).

(1A)For the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above, the cases where tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is “computed otherwise than wholly by reference to profits arising in that territory” are those cases where the charge to tax in that territory falls within subsection (1B) below.

(1B)A charge to tax falls within this subsection if it is such a charge made otherwise than by reference to profits as (by disallowing their deduction in computing the amount chargeable) to require sums payable and other liabilities arising under policies to be treated as sums or liabilities falling to be met out of amounts subject to tax in the hands of the company.]

(2)Where this subsection applies, the amount of the credit shall not exceed the greater of—

(a)any such part of the tax payable under the laws of the territory outside the United Kingdom as is charged by reference to profits arising in that territory, and

(b)the shareholders’ share of the tax so payable.

(3)For the purposes of subsection (2) above the shareholders’ share of tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is so much of that tax as is represented by the fraction

where—

  • [F8A is an amount equal to the amount of the relevant profits before making any deduction authorised by subsection (5) below;] and

  • B is an amount equal to the excess of—

  • (a) the amount taken into account as receipts of the company in computing those profits, apart from premiums and sums received by virtue of a claim under a reinsurance contract, over

  • (b) the amounts taken into account as expenses F9. . . in computing those profits.

(4)Where there is no such excess as is mentioned in subsection (3) above, or where the profits are greater than any excess, the whole of the tax payable under the laws of the territory outside the United Kingdom shall be the shareholders’ share; and (subject to that) where there are no profits, none of it shall be the shareholders’ share.

(5)Where, by virtue of this section, the credit for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is less than it otherwise would be, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing [F10the relevant profits].]
