(c)for such period as may be prescribed,
and for treating any such interest for the purposes, or prescribed purposes, of the Tax Acts as interest under section 826(1)(a) on a repayment of corporation tax.
(2)The Treasury may by regulations make provision modifying section 826(2) in relation to companies of such description as may be prescribed.
(3)Subsections (1) and (2) above do not apply in relation to companies in relation to which section 826(2) is modified or otherwise affected by regulations under section 59E of the Management Act (alteration of date on which corporation tax becomes due and payable) in relation to the accounting period to which the corporation tax in question relates.
(4)Where the Treasury make regulations under subsection (2) above in relation to companies of any description, they may also make regulations modifying section 59DA(2) of the Management Act in relation to those companies, or any description of such companies, by varying the date before which the claim there mentioned may not be made.

(a)interest has been paid to a company under subsection (1)(a) above,
(b)there is a change in the company’s assessed liability to corporation tax, other than a change which in whole or in part corrects an error made by the Board or an officer of the Board, and
(c)as a result only of that change (and, in particular, not as a result of any error in the calculation of the interest), it appears to an officer of the Board that the interest ought not to have been paid, either at all or to any extent,
the interest that ought not to have been paid may be recovered from the company as if it were interest charged under Part IX of the Management Act (interest on overdue tax).
(8B)For the purposes of subsection (8A) above, the cases where there is a change in a company’s assessed liability to corporation tax are those cases where—
(a)an assessment, or an amendment of an assessment, of the amount of corporation tax payable by the company for the accounting period in question is made, or
(b)a determination of that amount is made under paragraph 36 or 37 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (which until superseded by a self-assessment under that Schedule has effect as if it were one),
whether or not any previous assessment or determination has been made.
(8C)In subsection (8A)(b) above “error” includes—
(a)any computational error; and
(b)the allowance of a claim or election which ought not to have been allowed.”

(3)Where this subsection applies, the “appropriate rate” for the purposes of section 747(4)(a) and paragraph 1 of Schedule 26 in relation to the policy holders’ part of any BLAGAB apportioned profit shall be—
(a)if a single rate of tax under section 88A(1) of the M31Finance Act 1989 (lower corporation tax rate on certain insurance company profits) is applicable in relation to the relevant accounting period, that rate; or
(b)if more than one such rate of tax is applicable in relation to the relevant accounting period, the average of those rates over the whole of that period.
(4)Where this subsection applies, the “appropriate rate” for the purposes of section 747(4)(a) and paragraph 1 of Schedule 26 shall be nil in relation to so much of the apportioned profit as is referable to—
(a)pension business,
(b)life reinsurance business, or
(c)overseas life assurance business,
carried on by the UK company.
(5)If, in the case of the relevant accounting period, the UK company is charged to tax under Case I of Schedule D in respect of its profits from life assurance business, the “appropriate rate” for the purposes of—

(b)any creditable tax of the controlled foreign company falls to be apportioned to the UK company, and
(c)the apportioned profit is to any extent referable to a category of business specified in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (4) above,
so much of the creditable tax so apportioned as is attributable to the apportioned profit so far as so referable shall be left out of account for the purposes of this Chapter, other than section 747(3) and this section, and shall be treated as extinguished.
(7)If, in the case of the relevant accounting period,—
(a)the UK company is charged to tax under Case I of Schedule D in respect of its profits from life assurance business, and

(14)For the purposes of this section, any attribution of creditable tax to a particular part of the apportioned profit shall be made in the proportion which that part of the apportioned profit bears to the whole of the apportioned profit.”

(b)so accrued on the disposal by those trustees of any asset that was property originating from the chargeable settlor.

(a)from applying in the case of the chargeable settlor in relation to the transferor settlement; or
(b)from applying in his case in relation to the transferee settlement.

(e)the property comprised in a foreign institution (“the transferee institution") at any time after the disposal and before 6th April 1999 is or includes (whether in consequence of the disposal or otherwise) the asset disposed of or any relevant property;
(f)the transferor settlement has a relevant connection with the transferee institution; and
(g)the gain or loss in question is neither—
(i)a gain or loss treated under paragraph 1 above as accruing on 6th April 1999 to the trustees of any settlement; nor
(ii)a gain or loss to which paragraph 2 above applies.
(2)If, in the case of the chargeable settlor, section 86 of the 1992 Act applies (apart from this paragraph) for the year 1999-00 in relation to the transferor settlement, that section shall apply for that year in relation to that settlement as if any chargeable gain or loss to which this paragraph applies—
(a)were a gain or loss accruing on 6th April 1999 to the trustees of the transferor settlement; and
(b)so accrued on the disposal by them of an asset that was property originating from the chargeable settlor.
(3)Where sub-paragraph (2) above does not apply, section 86 of the 1992 Act shall have effect in relation to the chargeable settlor as if—

and
(d)any chargeable gains and losses which are not gains or losses to which this paragraph applies were to be disregarded for the purposes of that section.
(4)This paragraph does not apply to any chargeable gain or loss accruing on any disposal if, for the year of assessment in which that disposal is made, section 86 of the 1992 Act would, on the relevant assumption, have been prevented by virtue of paragraph 3, 4 of 5 of Schedule 5 to that Act from applying in the case of the chargeable settlor in relation to the transferor settlement.

(6)This paragraph does not apply to any chargeable gain or loss accruing on any disposal if the chargeable settlor stands in such a relationship to the foreign institution that if—
(a)that institution were a settlement,
(b)property of the institution were property comprised in the settlement, and
(c)income arising to the institution were income arising under the settlement,
paragraph 4 or 5 of Schedule 5 to the 1992 Act would (assuming that nothing else did) prevent section 86 of that Act from applying in the case of the chargeable settlor in relation to that settlement for the year of assessment in which that disposal is made.
