(6)For the purposes of this section and section 798B—

(b)if it is less, 15 per cent. of the interest or dividends, computed without regard to any increase under this subsection.
(3)If the amount of tax which is not spared tax exceeds—
(a)the amount of the credit which, by virtue of this Chapter (but disregarding subsection (2) of section 798), is allowed for that tax against income tax or corporation tax; or
(b)if it is less in the case of tax on foreign interest, 15 per cent. of the interest, computed without regard to any increase or reduction under this section or that subsection,

(4)Subsection (2) above has effect for the purposes of corporation tax notwithstanding anything in section 80(5) of the M16Finance Act 1996 (matters to be brought into account in the case of loan relationships only under Chapter II of Part IV of that Act).

(i)is properly attributable to the earning of the interest or dividends; and
(ii)falls to be taken into account in computing the taxpayer’s or person’s liability to income tax or corporation tax; and
(b)so much of any other sum paid by the taxpayer or a person connected or associated with him which—
(i)falls to be taken into account as mentioned in paragraph (a) above; and
(ii)would not, apart from this paragraph, be taken into account in determining the amount of the interest or dividends,
as it is reasonable to regard as attributable to the earning of the interest or dividends (whether or not it would fall, in accordance with normal accountancy practice, to be so treated).
(2)There shall be deducted from the aggregate given by subsection (1) above so much of the qualifying gains and profits accruing to the qualifying taxpayer or a person connected or associated with him as—
(a)is properly attributable to the earning of the interest or dividends; and
(b)falls to be taken into account in computing the taxpayer’s or person’s liability to income tax or corporation tax.
(3)In a case where the amount of a qualifying taxpayer’s financial expenditure in relation to the earning of the interest or dividends is not readily ascertainable—

(b)in the case of interest, regard shall be had in particular to any market rates of interest by reference to which the rate of the interest is determined.
(4)The Board may by regulations supplement subsection (3) above—
(a)by specifying matters to be taken into account in determining such a just and reasonable attribution as is referred to in paragraph (a); and

(c)any losses which by virtue of section 13(8) would have been allowable in his case in any intervening year if he had been resident in the United Kingdom throughout that intervening year,

(a)by one or more claims under sections 152 to 158, the chargeable gain accruing on a disposal of the asset is reduced, and
(b)as a result an amount falls to be deducted from the expenditure allowable in computing a gain accruing on the disposal of the other property.

as may be required in consequence of the provisions of this section shall be carried out.
