(b)any question arises for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as to the extent to which credits or debits given for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of that relationship are referable to any category of the company’s long term business,
section 432A of the Taxes Act 1988 (apportionment of insurance companies’ income) shall have effect in relation to the credits and debits so given in respect of that relationship as it has effect in relation to the income arising from an asset.
Valid from 28/07/2000

(2)If any debits relate to interest payable in respect of the late payment of any benefits, they are referable to the category of long term business which comprises the effecting and carrying out of the policies or contracts under which the benefits are payable.

(c)subsection (9) of that section were omitted.

(8)For the purposes of this paragraph—
(a)the first set-off period is the accounting period immediately preceding the deficit period,

(11)In sub-paragraph (10) above, the references, in relation to a claim under sub-paragraph (3) above (“the relevant claim”), to deductions by virtue of section 76 of the Taxes Act 1988 for a set-off period are references to the deductions by way of management expenses that would have fallen to be made by virtue of that section for that period if—
(a)no account were taken of either—
(i)the relevant claim; or
(ii)any claim under sub-paragraph (3) above relating to a deficit for an accounting period after the deficit period;
but
(b)there were made all such adjustments required by virtue of any sum having been carried back to that set-off period—

(a)in pursuance of a claim under sub-paragraph (3) above any amount is set-off against the eligible profit of a company for any set-off period, and
(b)there is a section 76(5) amount for that period which is attributable to that claim,
that section 76(5) amount shall not be carried forward by virtue of section 75(3) of the Taxes Act 1988 but, if that set-off period is the first or second set-off period, sub-paragraph (13) below shall apply to that amount instead.
(13)Where this sub-paragraph applies to a section 76(5) amount for any set-off period, the amount available in accordance with sub-paragraph (5) above to be carried back from that set-off period to be set off against eligible profits of previous set-off periods (or, as the case may be, against the eligible profit of the previous set-off period) shall be treated as increased by an amount equal to the amount to which this sub-paragraph applies.
(14)In relation to any claim under sub-paragraph (3) above, the amount which for any set-off period is, for the purposes of this paragraph, to be taken to be the section 76(5) amount attributable to that claim is the amount (if any) by which the amount specified in paragraph (a) below is exceeded by the amount specified in paragraph (b) below, that is to say—
(a)the amount that would have fallen to be carried forward by virtue of section 75(3) of the Taxes Act 1988 if the claim had not been made; and
(b)the amount which, after the making of the claim, would have fallen to be carried forward to a subsequent period by virtue of section 75(3) of that Act if sub-paragraphs (12) and (13) above, so far as they relate to that claim, were to be disregarded.
(15)A claim for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above must be made within the period of two years immediately following the end of the deficit period or within such further period as the Board may allow.
