(1)Where—

(b)there arises to the company in that period any income or gain (“the relevant income”) in respect of which credit for foreign tax falls to be allowed under any arrangements,

subsection (2) below shall have effect.

(2)In any such case, the amount of the credit for foreign tax which, under the arrangements, is allowable against corporation tax in respect of so much of the relevant income as is referable (in accordance with the provisions of sections 432ZA to 432E [F2or section 438B]) to a particular category of business must not exceed the fraction of the foreign tax which, in accordance with the following provisions of this section, is attributable to that category of business.

(3)Where the relevant income arises from an asset—

(a)which is linked solely to a category of business (other than overseas life assurance business), or

(b)which is an asset of the company’s overseas life assurance fund,

the whole of the foreign tax is attributable to the category mentioned in paragraph (a) above or, as the case may be, to the company’s overseas life assurance business, unless the case is one where subsection (7) below applies in relation to the category of business in question.

(4)Where subsection (3) above does not apply and the category of business in question is—

(a)basic life assurance and general annuity business, or

(b)long term business which is not life assurance business,

the fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to that category of business is the fraction whose numerator is the part of the relevant income which is referable to that category by virtue of any provision of section 432A [F3or 438B] and whose denominator is the whole of the relevant income.

(7)Where some or all of the relevant income falls to be taken into account in determining in accordance with section 83(2) of the Finance Act 1989 the amount referred to in section 432E(1) as the net amount, the fraction of the foreign tax that is attributable to the category of business in question is the fraction—

(a)whose numerator is the part of that net amount which is referable by virtue of section 432E to that category; and

(b)whose denominator is the whole of that net amount.

(8)No part of the foreign tax is attributable to any category of business except as provided by subsections (3) to (7) above.

(9)Where for the purposes of this section an amount of foreign tax is attributable to a category of life assurance business other than basic life assurance and general annuity business, credit in respect of the foreign tax so attributable shall be allowed only against corporation tax in respect of profits chargeable under Case VI of Schedule D arising from carrying on that category of business.]
