(2) Where the company did not have an unappropriated surplus at the end of the period of account immediately preceding the period of account in question, so much of the unappropriated surplus at the end of the period of account in question as is required to meet the duty of fairness is allowed as a deduction in calculating the profits for the period of account in question.

(3) Where the company did have an unappropriated surplus at the end of that immediately preceding period of account—

(a) if so much of the unappropriated surplus at the end of the period of account in question as is required to meet the duty of fairness exceeds so much of the unappropriated surplus at the end of that immediately preceding period of account as was required to meet that duty, the excess is allowed as a deduction in calculating the profits for the period of account in question, but

(b) if so much of the unappropriated surplus at the end of that immediately preceding period of account as was required to meet the duty of fairness exceeds so much of the unappropriated surplus at the end of the period of account in question as is required to meet that duty, the excess is to be taken into account as a receipt of the period of account in question.

(4) In arriving for the purposes of this section at the amount of the unappropriated surplus which is or was required to meet the duty of fairness there is to be deducted the aggregate of amounts which—

(a) for periods of account ending before 14th March 1989 (and the first notional period of account, within the meaning of section 82 above as originally enacted) have been excluded, by virtue of section 433 of the Taxes Act 1988, as being reserved for policy holders or annuitants, and

(b) have not before that date either been allocated to or expended on behalf of policy holders or annuitants or been treated as profits of an accounting period on ceasing to be so reserved.

(5) References in this section to the company’s duty of fairness are to the company’s duty to treat its policy holders and annuitants fairly with regard to terminal bonuses.]

(2) Where the last period of account of the transferor ending before the transfer ends otherwise than immediately before the transfer, there is to be deemed for the purposes of this section and section 82D above to be—

(b) a period of account of the transferor beginning immediately after the transfer.

(3) In applying section 82D above and this section, where subsection (2) above applies, no account shall be taken of a period of account of the transferor which includes the time of the transfer.

[F104 (4) The transferor may make an election under this subsection if—

(a) the transferee is a company which is a non-profit company, or

(b) the transfer is to a non-profit fund of a company which is a not a non-profit company,

(5) An election under subsection (4) above—

(a) is irrevocable; and

(b) is to be made by notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs no later than the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day following that on which the transfer takes place.

[F105 (6) Where the transferor makes an election under subsection (4) above, then for any period of account of the transferor ending on or after the transfer—

(a) in the case of a transfer of the whole of the long-term business, no amount shall be brought into account under section 82D(2)(b) above;

(b) in the case of a transfer of part of the long-term business, the amount to be so brought into account shall be reduced by the appropriate amount mentioned in section 82F(4) below.

(a) in the case of a transfer of the whole of the long-term business—

(i) the aggregate of all the amounts that would have been brought into account under section 82D(2)(b) above for periods of account of the transferor subsequent to the transfer if the transfer had not taken place shall be brought into account as a trading receipt of the transferor for the period of account ending immediately before the transfer, and

(ii) in relation to periods of account of the transferor subsequent to the transfer, section 82D(2)(b) above shall have no effect;

(b) in the case of a transfer of part of the long-term business—

82F. Section 82D: treatment of transferees under insurance business transfer schemes U.K.

(1) This section applies where—

(a) an insurance business transfer scheme has effect to transfer long-term business from one person (“the transferor”) to another (“the transferee”); and

(b) the transferor [F108 makes] an election under section 82E(4) above.

(2) For the purposes of this section and section 82D above, where the first period of account of the transferee ending after the transfer began before the transfer, it shall be treated as beginning immediately after the transfer.

(3) Section 82D above shall apply as if—

(b) the reference in that subsection to the company included a reference to the transferee.

(4) The amount to be brought into account as a trading receipt of a transferee (or, if there is more than one transferee, all the transferees) for a period of account by virtue of this section shall not exceed the appropriate amount.

(5) Where there is more than one transferee, the amount to be brought into account as a trading receipt of each transferee for a period of account by virtue of this section shall be the relevant fraction of the appropriate amount.

Here—

XA has the meaning given by section 82D(2C) above; and

“the relevant proportion”, in relation to a transferee, is the proportion that the liabilities of the transferor to policy holders and annuitants transferred to the transferee [F111 (or if more than one, all of the transferees)] bear to such liabilities of the transferor immediately before the transfer.

[F112 (6A) But where the total amount of the liabilities of the long-term business of the transferor transferred to all the transferees is below nil, the appropriate amount is such proportion of XA as is just and reasonable to attribute to all the transferees.]

(7) The relevant fraction, in relation to a transferee, is the fraction of which—

(a) the numerator is the liabilities of the transferor to policy holders and annuitants transferred to the transferee; and

(b) the denominator is the liabilities of the transferor to policy holders and annuitants transferred to all the transferees.]

[F124 (ab) comprises a business transfer-in that is not brought into account in a revenue account prepared for the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Prudential Sourcebook (Insurers) in respect of the whole of the company's long-term business,]

[F127 (2AA) For the purposes of subsection (2A)(a) above, an amount brought into account as mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (2) above for a period of account is to be regarded as notional income for the period of account if—

(a) it represents income which has not been received, and is not receivable, from another person, and

(b) a corresponding notional expense of the same amount is brought into account in the period of account;

and where particular income falls to be regarded as notional income under this subsection, the notional expense by virtue of which that income falls to be so regarded may not be taken into account for determining whether any other income is to be so regarded.

(2AB) In subsection (2AA) above “notional expense” means an expense which has not been paid, and is not payable, to another person and which—

(a) is not deductible in computing the profits of the company in respect of its life assurance business in accordance with the provisions [F128 applicable to the taxation of such profits under section 35 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009], but

(b) had it represented an amount paid or payable to another person, would have been so deductible.

(2AC) For the purposes of subsection (2A)(aa) above, where—

(a) one or more inter-fund transfers (“transfers-in”) are made into a fund and one or more inter-fund transfers (“transfers-out”) are made out of the fund, and

(b) the amount brought into account for the period of account as other income in respect of the transfers-in represents the amount by which—

(i) the amount or aggregate amount of the transfers-in, exceeds

(ii) the amount or aggregate amount of the transfers-out,

only the amount of that excess shall be taken to represent the transfers-in.

(2AD) In this section “inter-fund transfer” means a transfer between two funds which in the company’s periodical return is shown in, or included in amounts shown in, line 14 or 33 of the Forms 58 for the funds.]

(2B) If any assets of the company’s long-term insurance fund are transferred by the company so that they cease to be assets of that fund, [F129 the fair value of the assets at the time of the transfer, reduced by any amount brought into account in respect of them (for the period of account in which the transfer takes place or any earlier period of account) as part of total expenditure or [F130 by being netted off against incomings in lines 11 to 15 of a revenue account] ,] shall be deemed to be brought into account for the period of account in which the transfer takes place as an increase in the the value of the assets of that fund [F131 except to the extent that any of the exclusions in subsections (2C) to (2E) below apply.]

F132 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(2C) Assets transferred to discharge liabilities in respect of deposits received from reinsurers or arising out of insurance operations, debenture loans or amounts borrowed from credit institutions are included in subsection (2B) above only if the deposits, loans or amounts borrowed—

(a) were brought into account for any period of account, but

(b) were not taken into account as receipts of the period of account under subsection (2) above.

(2D) Assets are excluded from subsection (2B) above if they are transferred for at least their fair value and the consideration for their transfer, when received, forms part of the company’s long-term insurance fund.

[F133 (2DA) If—

(a) assets of the company’s long-term insurance fund are transferred by the company to another person (“the transferee”),

(b) the transferee assumes, as a result of the transfer, a liability representing a debenture loan which, immediately before the transfer, was a liability of that fund, and

(c) the liability does not, as a result of the transfer, become a liability of any long-term insurance fund of the transferee,

so much of the fair value of the assets as does not exceed the fair value of the liability is excluded from subsection (2B) above.]

[F142 83XA Structural assets U.K.

(1) Section 83(2) does not require to be taken into account as receipts or expenses of a period of account income from, or an increase or a decrease in the value of, structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1) above—

(a) an increase in the value of structural assets includes any amount by which their fair value when they cease to be structural assets, or come to be held otherwise than in any of the company's non-profit funds, exceeds their admissible value at the end of the preceding period of account, and

(b) a decrease in the value of structural assets includes any amount by which the admissible value of the assets at the end of the period of account in which they become structural assets, or come to be held in any of the company's non-profit funds, is less than their historic cost.

(3) In this section “structural assets” means—

(a) shares, debts and loans the value of which is required to be entered in lines 21 to 24 of Form 13 in the periodical return (UK insurance dependants and other insurance dependants), and

(b) assets of such other descriptions as are specified by regulations made by the Treasury.

(4) Where a structural asset held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund ceases to be a structural asset or comes to be held otherwise than in any of the company's non-profit funds and, immediately before it came to be a structural asset held in any of the company's non-profit funds it (or any part of it) was an asset of the company's long-term insurance fund, the relevant value difference is to be taken into account under section 83(2)—

(a) as a receipt (if it is a positive amount), or

(b) as an expense (if it is a negative amount),

of the relevant period of account.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) above “the relevant value difference”, in relation to an asset, is—

HC - AV

where—

HC is its historic cost, and

AV is its admissible value at the relevant time.

(6) In subsection (4) above “the relevant period of account” means—

(a) in a case within paragraph (a) of that subsection, the period of account in which the asset ceases to be a structural asset or comes to be held otherwise than in any of the company's non-profit funds, and

(b) in a case within paragraph (b) of that subsection, the period of account in which the asset first comes to be held otherwise than by the company or (where the company is a member of a group) otherwise than by a company which is a member of the group;

and section 170 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (meaning of “group” etc) has effect for the interpretation of this subsection.

(7) In subsection (5) above “the relevant time” means—

(a) in a case where assets become structural assets held in any of the company's non-profit funds by virtue of the commencement of this section, the end of the last period of account of the company beginning before 1st January 2007, and

(b) otherwise, the time when the assets become structural assets held in any of the company's non-profit funds.

(8) In this section “historic cost”, in relation to an asset which is or has been held in any of the company's non-profit funds, means—

(a) where the asset came to be held in any of the company's non-profit funds on acquisition from another person, the consideration given by the company for the acquisition of the asset, and

(b) otherwise, its fair value when it came to be held in any of the company's non-profit funds.

(9) In this section “admissible value”, in relation to an asset and a time, means the value of the asset as shown in column 1 of Form 13 of the periodical return for the period ending with that time (or as would be so shown if there were a periodical return covering a period ending with that time).

F144 (11) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(12) Structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund are to be treated as being within paragraph (f) of subsection (4) of section 440 of the Taxes Act 1988; but no disposal or re-acquisition is to be deemed to occur by virtue of an asset ceasing to be within any other paragraph of that subsection and coming within that paragraph on becoming such a structural asset.

(13) Structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund are to be treated as being “remaining” securities within section 440A(2)(e) of the Taxes Act 1988.

(14) Section 432A of the Taxes Act 1988 does not have effect in relation to income arising from, or gains and losses accruing on the disposal of, structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund.

(15) Regulations under subsection (3) F145 ... above may be made so as to have effect in relation to periods of account current when they are made (as well as periods of account beginning later).]

(3) If the current line 51 amount is greater than that aggregate amount, an amount equal to the difference shall be deemed for the purposes of section 83(2) to be brought into account for the current period of account as an increase in the value of non-linked assets.

(6) Any amount brought into account by virtue of this section is in addition to any amount brought into account for the purposes of section 83(2) for the current period of account as an increase or decrease in the value of non-linked assets apart from this section.

(7) For the purposes of this section a company has a transfer-in amount for any period of account (“the previous period of account”) if [F147 a transfer takes place in the following period of account; and the amount of the transfer-in amount for the previous period of account is any amount by which—

(a) the [F148 admissible] value of such of the assets of the long-term insurance fund of the company immediately after the transfer as were assets of [F149 a non-profit fund of the transferor] immediately before the transfer, exceeds

(10) Any such election—

(a) is irrevocable, and

(1) For the purposes of section 83YA, the appropriate line 51 amount of a non-profit company for any period of account is determined as follows.

Step 1

Find the company's basic line 51 amount for the period of account.

Step 2

Reduce that amount (but not below nil) by the amount of any unrecognised capital amount of the company for the period of account.

But this step applies only if the period of account for which the appropriate line 51 amount of the company is being determined is the current period of account for the purposes of section 83YA.

(b) in any other case, so much of that amount as exceeds the aggregate amount of the amounts shown in line 51 of Form 14 of its periodical return in respect of its with-profits funds for that period.

(3) For the purposes of step 2, the company has an unrecognised capital amount for any period of account if—

(a) any assets (“the added assets”) become assets of its long-term insurance fund but do not become assets of any of its with-profits funds,

(b) the consideration for the acquisition of the added assets does not comprise any assets which, immediately before the acquisition, were assets of its long-term insurance fund,

(c) no amount is shown in respect of the added assets in any of lines 17 to 41 of Form 14 of its periodical return in respect of the whole of its long-term business for the period of account, and

[F154 83YC FAFTS: charge in relevant period of account U.K.

(1) This section applies where an insurance company makes a financing-arrangement-funded transfer to shareholders (a “FAFTS”) in relation to a non-profit fund.

(2) A company makes a FAFTS in relation to a non-profit fund if—

(a) the company enters into a relevant financing arrangement in relation to a non-profit fund in a period of account (see subsection (4) below),

(b) a positive amount is brought into account by the company as a transfer to non-technical account from the non-profit fund for that or any subsequent period of account (“the relevant period of account”), and

(c) the positive amount so brought into account for the relevant period of account exceeds the non-FAFTS surplus (see subsection (8) below).

(3) The amount of that excess is to be treated for the purposes of section 83(2) as brought into account by the company for the relevant period of account as an increase in the value of assets.

(4) For the purposes of this section and section 83YD a company enters into a relevant financing arrangement in relation to a non-profit fund in a period of account if—

(a) the loan condition (see subsection (5) below), or

(b) the reinsurance condition (see subsection (6) below),

is met.

(5) The loan condition is met if credits in respect of a money debt which is to any extent referable to the company's life assurance business (a “relevant money debt”) are brought into account in relation to a non-profit fund as part of total income for the period of account.

(6) The reinsurance condition is met if—

(a) in the period of account the company enters into a financial reinsurance arrangement relating to any liabilities (see subsection (7) below), and

(b) the reinsurance of the liabilities would (but for section 83YF(2)) be taken into account in calculating profits of the company's life assurance business in accordance with the [F155 life assurance trade profits provisions] for the period of account;

and such liabilities are referred to in this section and section 83YD as “relevant liabilities”.

(7) For the purposes of this section the company enters into a financial reinsurance arrangement if—

(a) it enters into a contract of insurance under which liabilities of the company to policy holders or annuitants (or both) in respect of a non-profit fund are reinsured,

(b) the reinsured liabilities are to reduce over time,

(c) the contract is a financing arrangement within the meaning of paragraph 9(3) of Appendix 9.4 to the Prudential Sourcebook (Insurers), and

(d) the premiums which, immediately after entering into the contract, the company is liable to pay under the contract are an insubstantial proportion of the amount of the reinsured liabilities at that time.

(8) For the purposes of this section the “non-FAFTS surplus” is—

(a) the amount shown in line 39 of Form 58 in relation to the non-profit fund in the periodical return for the relevant period of account, reduced (but not to below nil) by

(b) so much of the aggregate of the relevant outstanding debt amount (see subsection (9) below) and the relevant outstanding reinsurance amount (see subsection (10) below) as is untaxed (see subsection (11) below).

(9) The “relevant outstanding debt amount” is the total amount of the credits brought into account by the company in relation to the non-profit fund as part of total income—

(a) for the relevant period of account, or

(b) for any earlier period of account,

in respect of relevant money debts to the extent that they have not been repaid before the end of the relevant period of account.

(10) The “relevant outstanding reinsurance amount” is the total of the amounts which would (but for section 83YF(2)) be taken into account in calculating profits of the company's life assurance business in accordance with the [F156 life assurance trade profits provisions] —

(a) for the relevant period of account, or

(b) for any earlier period of account,

in respect of the reinsurance of relevant liabilities to the extent that they have not ceased to be reinsured before the end of the relevant period of account.

(11) The aggregate of the relevant outstanding debt amount and the relevant outstanding reinsurance amount is “untaxed” to the extent that it exceeds the difference between—

(a) the aggregate of the amounts treated as brought into account in the case of the company by the operation of subsection (3) above for periods of account of the company earlier than the relevant period of account, and

(b) the aggregate of the amounts which are the relevant amount for the relevant period of account or earlier periods of account of the company under section 83YD.

83YD FAFTS: deduction in subsequent periods of account U.K.

(1) This section applies where section 83YC(3) has operated in the case of the company for one or more periods of account.

(2) The relevant amount (see subsection (4) below) is to be treated for the purposes of section 83(2) as brought into account by the company as a decrease in the value of assets for any subsequent period of account in relation to which the condition in subsection (3) below is met.

(3) That condition is that—

(a) a payment made by the company in respect of a relevant money debt is brought into account for the period of account as part of total expenditure in the revenue account for the non-profit fund without being deductible under [F157 section 297(3) of the Corporation Tax Act 2009], or

(b) relevant liabilities are recaptured (that is, cease to be reinsured under a financial reinsurance arrangement) during the period of account.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (2) above “the relevant amount” is an amount equal to so much of the aggregate of—

(a) the payments made and brought into account as mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (3) above, and

(b) the liabilities recaptured as mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection,

as, when added to the aggregate of the amounts which are the relevant amount for each earlier period of account of the company in relation to which this section has applied, does not exceed the taxed amount (see subsection (6) below).

(5) But the making of payments or recapture of liabilities is to be left out of account under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (4) above to the extent that it relates to refinancing; and for this purpose a payment or recapture of liabilities relates to refinancing if—

(a) the company enters into a relevant financing arrangement in relation to the non-profit fund (in any period of account), and

(b) it is reasonable to assume that the making of the payments or the recapture of the liabilities is connected with its doing so.

(6) For the purposes of subsection (4) above “the taxed amount” is the aggregate of the amounts treated as brought into account in the case of the company by the operation of section 83YC(3) above for earlier periods of account.

86 Spreading of relief for acquisition expenses. U.K.

[F219 (1) For the purposes of this section, the acquisition expenses for any period of an insurance company carrying on life assurance business are such of the following as for that period fall to be included at Step 1 in section 76(7) of the Taxes Act 1988 (expenses of insurance companies)—

(a) commissions (however described), other than commissions for persons who collect premiums from house to house,

(b) any other expenses payable solely for the purpose of the acquisition of business,

(c) so much of any other expenses payable partly for the purpose of the acquisition of business and partly for other purposes as are properly attributable to the acquisition of business,

reduced by the appropriate portion of the adjusted loss deduction (if any) for the purposes of Step 5 for the period.

The appropriate portion of the adjusted loss deduction is the amount which bears to the whole of that deduction the proportion which UAE bears to S1, where—

UAE is the amount of the acquisition expenses, before making the reduction required by this subsection; and

S1 is the sum of the amounts described in paragraphs (a) and (b) in Step 4.]

(2) The exclusion from paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above of commissions [F220 for persons who collect premiums from house to house] shall not prevent such commissions constituting [F221 expenses payable] for the purposes of paragraph(b) or paragraph (c) of that subsection.

F227 (5A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[F228 (6) Only a portion of the acquisition expenses for any accounting period (in this section referred to as “the base period”) is to be relieved under section 76 of the Taxes Act 1988 for that period.

That portion is one-seventh of the adjusted amount of the acquisition expenses for the period.

For the purposes of this section the adjusted amount of the acquisition expenses for the period is so much of those expenses as remains after—

(a) including the whole of those expenses at Step 1,

F229 (7) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[F230 (8) This subsection applies in any case where, in accordance with subsection (6) above, only a fraction of the adjusted amount of the acquisition expenses for the base period is to be relieved under section 76 of the Taxes Act 1988 for that period.

In any such case—

(a) a further fraction of the adjusted amount of those expenses is to be relieved under that section for each succeeding accounting period after the base period, until the whole of the adjusted amount has been relieved,

(b) the fraction is one-seventh, except that for any accounting period of less than a year the fraction is to be proportionately reduced, and

(c) the relief is given by including that fraction of the adjusted amount at paragraph (b) of Step 8,

but this is subject to subsection (9) below.

(9) For any accounting period for which—

(a) the fraction of the adjusted amount of the acquisition expenses for the base period which would otherwise fall to be relieved in accordance with subsection (8) above, exceeds

(b) the balance of that adjusted amount which has not been so relieved for earlier accounting periods,

only that balance shall be so relieved.]

[F231 (9A) In this section “expenses payable” has the same meaning as in Step 1.

(9B) Any reference in this section to a numbered Step is a reference to the Step so numbered in section 76(7) of the Taxes Act 1988.]
