(1)Where—
(a)an insurance company carries on any category of insurance business in a period of account,
(b)a computation in accordance with the provisions applicable to Case I of Schedule D falls to be made in relation to that category of business for that period, and
(c)there arises to the company in that period any income or gain 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 to be allowed against corporation tax in respect of so much of that income or gain as is referable to the category of business concerned (“the relevant income”) shall be limited by treating the amount of the relevant income as reduced in accordance with subsections (3) and (4) below.
(3)The first limitation is to treat the amount of the relevant income as reduced (but not below nil) for the purposes of this Chapter by the amount of expenses (if any) attributable to the relevant income.
(4)If—
(a)the amount of the relevant income after any reduction under subsection (3) above,
exceeds
(b)the relevant fraction of the profits of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question which are chargeable to corporation tax,
the second limitation is to treat the relevant amount as further reduced (but not below nil) for the purposes of this Chapter to an amount equal to that fraction of those profits.
In this subsection any reference to the profits of a category of business is a reference to those profits after the set off of any losses of that category of business which have arisen in any previous accounting period.
(5)In determining the amount of the credit for foreign tax which is to be allowed as mentioned in subsection (2) above, the relevant amount shall not be reduced except in accordance with that subsection.
(6)For the purposes of subsection (3) above, the amount of expenses attributable to the relevant income is the appropriate fraction of the total relevant expenses of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question.
(7)In subsection (6) above, the “appropriate fraction” means the fraction—
(a)whose numerator is the amount of the relevant income before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above, and
(b)whose denominator is the total income of the category of business concerned for the period of account in question,
unless the denominator so determined is nil, in which case the denominator shall instead be the amount described in subsection (8) below.
(8)That amount is so much in total of the income and gains—
(a)which arise to the company in the period of account in question, and
(b)in respect of which credit for foreign tax falls to be allowed under any arrangements,
as are referable to the category of business concerned (before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above).
(9)In subsection (4) above, the “relevant fraction” means the fraction—
(a)whose numerator is the amount of the relevant income before any reduction in accordance with subsection (2) above; and
(b)whose denominator is the amount described in subsection (8) above.
(10)Where a 75 per cent subsidiary of an insurance company is acting in accordance with a scheme or arrangement and—
(a)the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of that scheme or arrangement is to prevent or restrict the application of subsection (2) above to the insurance company, and
(b)the subsidiary does not carry on insurance business of any description,
the amount of corporation tax attributable (apart from this subsection) to any item of income or gain arising to the subsidiary shall be found by setting off against that item the amount of expenses that would be attributable to it under subsection (3) above if that item had arisen directly to the insurance company.
(11)Where the credit allowed for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is, by virtue of subsection (2) above, less than it would be if the relevant income were not treated as reduced in accordance with that subsection, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing the profits of the category of business concerned.
(12)Where, by virtue of subsection (10) above, the credit allowed for any tax payable under the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom is less than it would be apart from that subsection, section 795(2)(a) shall not prevent a deduction being made for the difference in computing the income of the 75 per cent subsidiary.
(13)Any reference in this section to any income or gain being to any extent referable to a category of insurance business shall, in the case of—
(a)life assurance business or any category of life assurance business, or
(b)long term business which is not life assurance business,
be taken as a reference to the income or gain being to that extent referable to that category of business for the purposes of Chapter I of Part XII.
(14)This section shall be construed—
(a)in accordance with section 804D, where the category of business concerned is life assurance business or a category of life assurance business; and
(b)in accordance with section 804E, where the category of business concerned is not life assurance business or any category of life assurance business.]
