(1)Section 8(1) has effect in relation to insurance companies subject to the provisions of this section.
[F2(2)Non-BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to an insurance company are allowable as a deduction from the shareholders' share (if any) of the BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company (but are not otherwise allowable as a deduction from the BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company).]
(3)BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to an insurance company are allowable as a deduction from non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company as permitted by the following provisions of this section (and not otherwise).
(4)They are allowable as a deduction from only so much of non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in an accounting period as exceeds the aggregate of—
(a)non-BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in the accounting period, and
(b)non-BLAGAB allowable losses previously accruing to the company which have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in any previous accounting period.
(5)And they are allowable as a deduction from non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in an accounting period only to the extent that they do not exceed the permitted amount for the accounting period.
(6)The permitted amount for the first accounting period of an insurance company in relation to which this section has effect is the aggregate of—
(a)the amount by which shareholders' share for that accounting period of BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in the accounting period exceeds the shareholders' share of BLAGAB chargeable gains so accruing, and
(b)the shareholder’s share for the immediately preceding accounting period of BLAGAB allowable losses previously accruing to the company which have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in that immediately preceding accounting period or any earlier accounting period.
(7)The permitted amount for any subsequent accounting period of the company is arrived at by—
(a)deducting from the permitted amount for the immediately preceding accounting period the amount of any BLAGAB allowable losses allowed as a deduction from non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in the immediately preceding accounting period, and
(b)adjusting the result in accordance with subsection (8) or (9) below.
(8)If the BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in the subsequent accounting period exceed the BLAGAB allowable losses so accruing, the amount arrived at under subsection (7)(a) above is reduced by a fraction of which—
(a)the denominator is the BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in any previous accounting period which have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing to the company in any previous accounting period, and
(b)the numerator is so many of those allowable losses as are allowed as a deduction from BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in the accounting period.
(9)If the BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in the subsequent accounting period exceed the BLAGAB chargeable gains so accruing, the amount arrived at under subsection (7)(a) above is increased by the shareholders' share of the amount by which those allowable losses exceed those chargeable gains.
[F3(10)For the purposes of this section the “shareholders' share” of BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to an insurance company in an accounting period is determined as follows.
(10A)If the company has an I - E profit for the accounting period—
(a)find the percentage (including, if applicable, nil) of the I - E profit that is not represented by the policyholders' share of that profit as determined in accordance with section 103 of the Finance Act 2012, and
(b)then multiply that percentage by the amount of the BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses.
The result is the shareholder's share of the BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses.
(10B)If the company does not have an I - E profit for the accounting period, the shareholders' share of the BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses is nil.
(10C)In determining for the purposes of subsections (10A) and (10B) whether or not the company has an I - E profit for an accounting period, assume that non-BLAGAB allowable losses cannot be deducted to any extent from BLAGAB chargeable gains (and, accordingly, assume that section 95 is not included in the Finance Act 2012).]
(11)In arriving at [F4the shareholders' share] of chargeable gains accruing to an insurance company under [F5subsections (10) to (10C)] above there is to be ignored—
(a)any deduction under section 202(9) (mineral leases: capital losses),
(b)any reduction under section 213(3) (spreading of losses from deemed disposal of holdings of unit trust etc), and
(c)any amount carried back under [F6section 389(1) of CTA 2009] (non-trading deficit on loan relationships).
