[F694 Indexed gilt-edged securities.U.K.

(1)In the case of any loan relationship represented by an index-linked gilt-edged security, the adjustment for which this section provides shall be made in computing the credits and debits which fall, for any accounting period, to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of that relationship as non-trading credits or non-trading debits.

(2)The adjustment shall be made wherever—

(a)the authorised accounting method applied as respects the index-linked gilt-edged security gives credits or debits by reference to the value of the security at two different times, and

(b)there is any change in the retail prices index between those times.

(3)Subject to subsection (4) below, the adjustment is such an adjustment of the amount which would otherwise be taken for the purposes of that accounting method to be the value of the security at the earlier time (“the opening value”) as results in the amount in fact so taken being equal to the opening value increased or, as the case may be, reduced by the same percentage as the percentage increase or reduction in the retail prices index between the earlier and the later time.

[F7(3A)Where the authorised accounting method applied is an accruals basis of accounting, the amount which is the opening value shall be taken to be the amount of the value which (disregarding interest) accrued to the company under the loan relationship before the earlier time.]

(4)The Treasury may, in relation to any description of index-linked gilt-edged securities, by order provide that—

(a)there are to be no adjustments under this section; or

(b)that an adjustment specified in the order (instead of the adjustment specified in subsection (3) above) is to be the adjustment for which this section provides.

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

(a)shall not have effect in relation to any gilt-edged security issued before the making of the order; but

(b)may make different provision for different descriptions of securities.

(6)For the purposes of this section the percentage increase or reduction in the retail prices index between any two times shall be determined by reference to the difference between—

(a)that index for the month in which the earlier time falls; and

(b)that index for the month in which the later time falls.

[F8except that where the earlier time falls at the beginning of an accounting period which begins with the first day of a month, the index for the previous month shall be used for the purposes of paragraph (a) above.]

(7)In this section “index-linked gilt-edged securities” means any gilt-edged securities the amounts of the payments under which are determined wholly or partly by reference to the retail prices index.]

97 Manufactured interest.U.K.

(1)[F12For the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts, a company has a relationship to which this section applies in any case where—]

(a)any amount (“manufactured interest”) is payable by or on behalf of, or to, [F13the company] under any contract or arrangements relating to the transfer of an asset representing a loan relationship; and

(b)that amount is, or (when paid) will fall to be treated as, representative of interest under [F14that loan relationship](“the real interest”).

[F15and references to a relationship to which this section applies, and to a company’s being party to such a relationship, shall be construed accordingly]

[F16(2)Where a company has a relationship to which this section applies—

(a)this Chapter shall have effect in relation to the company and the manufactured interest under the relationship—

(i)as it would have effect if the manufactured interest were interest payable on a loan by, or (as the case may be) to, the company and were accordingly interest under a loan relationship to which the company is a party, and

(ii)where that company is the company to which the manufactured interest is payable, as if that relationship were the one under which the real interest is payable, but

(b)the only credits or (subject to subsection (4A) below) debits to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter by virtue of this section in respect of a relationship are those relating to that interest,

and, subject to paragraphs (a)(ii) and (b) above, references in the Corporation Tax Acts to a loan relationship accordingly include a reference to a relationship to which this section applies.]

(3)Any question whether debits or credits falling to be brought into account in the case of any company by virtue of this section—

(a)are to be brought into account under section 82(2) above, or

(b)are to be treated as non-trading debits or non-trading credits,

shall be determined according to the extent (if any) to which the manufactured interest is paid for the purposes of a trade carried on by the company or is received in the course of activities forming an integral part of such a trade.

[F17(3A)To the extent that debits or credits fall to be brought into account by a company under section 82(2) above in the case of a relationship to which this section applies, the company shall be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as being party to the relationship for the purposes of a trade carried on by the company.]

(4)Where section [F18736B(2) or] 737A(5) of the Taxes Act 1988 (deemed manufactured payments) has effect in relation to a transaction relating to an asset representing a loan relationship so as, for the purposes of [F19section 737 of, or] Schedule 23A to, that Act, to deem there to have been a payment representative of interest under that relationship, this section shall apply as it would have applied if such a representative payment had in fact been made.

[F20(4A)Where, for the purposes of section 736B of the Taxes Act 1988, a company is the borrower under a stock lending arrangement, then (pursuant to subsection (2A) of that section (which precludes deductions or group relief for the borrower)) no debits are to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter by that company in respect of the deemed representative payment under that section which is treated under subsection (4) above as if it had in fact been made.]

[F21(5)This section does not apply where the manufactured interest is treated by virtue of paragraph 5(2)(c) or (4)(c) of Schedule 23A to the Taxes Act 1988 (manufactured interest passing through the market) as not being income of the person who receives it.]
