Textual Amendments
F1Ss. 806A-806H, 806J and cross-heading inserted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 30 para. 21(2) of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2000 (c. 17), Sch. 30 para. 21(1)
(1)For the purposes of this section, where—
(a)any eligible unrelieved foreign tax arises in an accounting period of a company, and
(b)the dividend in relation to which it arises is paid by a company which, at the time of payment of the dividend, is related to that company,
that tax is “eligible underlying tax" to the extent that it consists of or represents underlying tax.
(2)To the extent that any eligible unrelieved foreign tax is not eligible underlying tax it is for the purposes of this section “eligible withholding tax”.
(3)For the purposes of giving credit relief under this Part to a company resident in the United Kingdom—
(a)the amounts of eligible underlying tax that arise in an accounting period of the company shall be aggregated (that aggregate being referred to as the “relievable underlying tax" arising in that accounting period); and
(b)the amounts of eligible withholding tax that arise in an accounting period of the company shall be aggregated (that aggregate being referred to as the “relievable withholding tax" arising in that accounting period).
(4)The relievable underlying tax arising in an accounting period of the company shall be treated for the purposes of allowing credit relief under this Part as if it were—
(a)underlying tax in relation to the single related dividend that arises in the same accounting period,
(b)relievable underlying tax arising in the next accounting period (whether or not any related qualifying foreign dividend in fact arises to the company in that accounting period), or
(c)underlying tax in relation to the single related dividend that arises in such one or more preceding accounting periods as result from applying the rules in section 806E,
or partly in one of those ways and partly in each or either of the others.
(5)The relievable withholding tax arising in an accounting period of the company shall be treated for the purposes of allowing credit relief under this Part as if it were—
(a)foreign tax (other than underlying tax) paid in respect of, and computed by reference to, the single related dividend or the single unrelated dividend that arises in the same accounting period,
(b)relievable withholding tax arising in the next accounting period (whether or not any qualifying foreign dividend in fact arises to the company in that accounting period), or
(c)foreign tax (other than underlying tax) paid in respect of, and computed by reference to, the single related dividend or the single unrelated dividend that arises in such one or more preceding accounting periods as result from applying the rules in section 806E,
or partly in one of those ways and partly in any one or more of the others.
(6)The amount of relievable underlying tax or relievable withholding tax arising in an accounting period that is treated—
(a)under subsection (4)(a) or (c) above as underlying tax in relation to the single related dividend arising in the same or any earlier accounting period, or
(b)under subsection (5)(a) or (c) above as foreign tax paid in respect of, and computed by reference to, the single related dividend or the single unrelated dividend arising in the same or any earlier accounting period,
must not be such as would cause an amount of eligible unrelieved foreign tax to arise in respect of that dividend.]
