(c) the payment or benefit is not earnings (within Chapter 1 of Part 3) received by the worker directly from the MSC.

(2) The MSC is treated as making to the worker, and the worker is treated as receiving, a payment which is to be treated as earnings from an employment (“the deemed employment payment”).

(3) The deemed employment payment is treated as made at the time the payment or benefit mentioned in subsection (1)(b) is received.

(4) In this Chapter—

• “the worker” has the meaning given by subsection (1),

• “the relevant services” means the services mentioned in that subsection, and

• “the client” means the person to whom the relevant services are provided.

(5) Section 61F supplements this section.

61E Calculation of deemed employment payment

(1) The amount of the deemed employment payment is the amount resulting from the following steps—

Step 1

Find (applying section 61F) the amount of the payment or benefit mentioned in section 61D(1)(b).

Step 2

Deduct (applying Chapters 1 to 5 of Part 5) the amount of any expenses met by the worker that would have been deductible from the taxable earnings from the employment if—

(a) the worker had been employed by the client to provide the relevant services, and

(b) the expenses had been met by the worker out of those earnings.

If the result at this point is nil or a negative amount, there is no deemed employment payment.

Step 3

Assume that the result of step 2 represents an amount together with employer's national insurance contributions on it, and deduct what (on that assumption) would be the amount of those contributions.

The result is the deemed employment payment.

(2) In step 2 of subsection (1), the reference to expenses met by the worker includes, where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, expenses met by the worker for and on behalf of the partnership.

(3) In step 2 of subsection (1), the expenses deductible include the amount of any mileage allowance relief which the worker would have been entitled to in respect of the use of a vehicle falling within subsection (4) if—

(a) the worker had been employed by the client to provide the relevant services, and

(b) the vehicle had not been a company vehicle (within the meaning of Chapter 2 of Part 4).

(4) A vehicle falls within this subsection if—

(a) it is provided by the MSC for the worker, or

(b) where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, it is provided by the worker for the purposes of the business of the partnership.

(1) The following provisions apply for the purposes of sections 61D and 61E.

(2) A “payment or benefit” means anything that, if received by an employee for performing the duties of an employment, would be general earnings from the employment.

(3) The amount of a payment or benefit is taken to be—

(a) in the case of a payment or cash benefit, the amount received, and

(b) in the case of a non-cash benefit, the cash equivalent of the benefit.

(4) The cash equivalent of a non-cash benefit is taken to be—

(a) the amount that would be general earnings if the benefit were general earnings from an employment, or

(b) in the case of living accommodation, whichever is the greater of that amount and the cash equivalent determined in accordance with section 398(2).

(5) A payment or benefit is treated as received—

(a) in the case of a payment or cash benefit, when payment is made of or on account of the payment or benefit;

(b) in the case of a non-cash benefit, when it would have been treated as received for the purposes of Chapter 4 or 5 of this Part (see section 19 or 32) if—

(i) the worker had been an employee, and

(ii) the benefit had been provided by reason of the employment.

61G Application of Income Tax Acts in relation to deemed employment

(1) The Income Tax Acts (in particular, the PAYE provisions) apply in relation to the deemed employment payment as follows.

(2) They apply as if—

(a) the worker were employed by the MSC to provide the relevant services, and

(b) the deemed employment payment were a payment by the MSC of earnings from that employment;

but this is subject to subsection (3).

(3) No deduction under Part 5 (deductions allowed from employment income) or section 232 (mileage allowance relief) may be made from the deemed employment payment.

(4) The worker is not chargeable to tax in respect of the deemed employment payment if, or to the extent that, by reason of any combination of the factors mentioned in subsection (5), the worker would not be chargeable to tax if—

(a) the worker were employed by the client to perform the relevant services, and

(b) the deemed employment payment were a payment by the client of earnings from that employment.

(5) The factors are—

(a) the worker being resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled outside the United Kingdom,

(b) the client being resident or ordinarily resident outside the United Kingdom, and

(c) the relevant services being provided outside the United Kingdom.

(6) Where the MSC is a partnership and the worker is a member of the partnership, the deemed employment payment is treated as received by the worker in the worker's personal capacity and not as income of the partnership.

(7) Where—

(a) the worker is resident in the United Kingdom, and

(b) the relevant services are provided in the United Kingdom,

the MSC is treated as having a place of business in the United Kingdom, whether or not it in fact does so.

SCHEDULE 4 U.K. Restrictions on trade loss relief for partners

Limit on amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief available in any tax year U.K.

1 (1) In ITA 2007, before section 104 (and the italic cross-heading before it) insert— U.K.

“Limit on amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief U.K.

103C Limit on reliefs in any tax year not to exceed cap for tax year

(1) This section applies if an individual carries on one or more trades—

(a) as a non-active partner in a firm during a tax year, or

(b) as a limited partner in a firm at a time in that tax year,

and the individual makes a loss in any of those trades (an “affected loss”) in that tax year.

(2) There is a restriction on the amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief which (after applying the restrictions under the other provisions of this Chapter) may be given to the individual for any affected loss (but see subsections (6) and (7)).

(3) The restriction is that the total amount of the sideways relief and capital gains relief given to the individual for all the affected losses must not exceed the cap for that tax year.

(4) The cap for any tax year is £25,000.

(5) The Treasury may by order amend the sum for the time being specified in subsection (4).

(6) The restriction under this section does not apply to so much of any affected loss as derives from qualifying film expenditure (see section 103D).

(7) The restriction under this section does not affect the giving of sideways relief for a loss made in a trade against the profits of that trade.

(8) In this section “trade” does not include a trade which consists of the underwriting business of a member of Lloyd's (within the meaning of section 184 of FA 1993).”

(2) The amendment made by sub-paragraph (1) has effect in relation to any loss made by an individual in a trade in the tax year 2007-08 or any subsequent tax year.

(3) But, in the case of a loss made by an individual in a trade in a tax year the basis period for which begins before 2nd March 2007 (a “straddling basis period”), the amount of that loss for the purposes of section 103C of ITA 2007 is—

(a) the amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief which (after applying the restrictions under the other provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 4 of that Act) may be given to the individual for that loss, less

(b) the amount (if any) of the pre-announcement loss.

(4) “The pre-announcement loss” is determined as follows.

(5) Calculate the profits or losses of the straddling basis period, but without regard to capital allowances and qualifying film expenditure (within the meaning of section 103D of ITA 2007).

(6) If that calculation produces a loss and the individual has made a contribution of an amount as capital to the firm or LLP in question—

(a) on or before the start of the straddling basis period, or

(b) after the start of that period but before 2nd March 2007,

apportion the loss produced by that calculation to the part of the straddling basis period which begins with the relevant date and falls before 2nd March 2007 in proportion to the number of days in that part.

(7) Calculate so much of the loss of the straddling basis period as derives from relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure.

(8) The pre-announcement loss is the sum of—

(9) In sub-paragraph (6) “the relevant date” means—

(a) in any case where a contribution was made on or before the start of the straddling basis period, the start of that period, and

(b) in any other case, the date on which the contribution was made or, if more than one contribution was made, the date on which the first contribution was made.

(10) For the purposes of this paragraph the amount of the loss of the straddling basis period that derives from relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure is determined on a just and reasonable basis.

(11) In this paragraph “relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure” means—

(a) any capital allowance in respect of expenditure paid before 2nd March 2007, and

(b) any capital allowance in respect of expenditure paid on or after that date pursuant to an unconditional obligation in a contract made before that date,

and for this purpose “an unconditional obligation” means an obligation which may not be varied or extinguished by the exercise of any right conferred on the firm or LLP in question (whether or not under the contract).

(12) For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a) an amount of money is not to be taken as contributed as capital to a firm or LLP until the money is paid to the firm or LLP, and

(b) a right or other asset is not to be taken as contributed as capital to a firm or LLP until it is transferred to the firm or LLP.

(13) Section 62 of ITA 2007 (partners: losses of a tax year etc) applies for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 3 of Part 4 of that Act.

(2) For the purposes of this Schedule references to a person's receiving any asset include the person's obtaining directly or indirectly the value of any asset or otherwise deriving directly or indirectly any benefit from it.

(3) For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a) in any case where a person buys securities (or has a right or obligation to buy securities) but the securities are (or are to be) held for another person's benefit, that other person is treated as buying (or having the right or obligation to buy) the securities, and

(b) in any case where a person sells securities but the proceeds of the sale are held for another person's benefit, that other person is treated as selling the securities.

(4) For the purposes of this Schedule securities are similar if they entitle their holders to—

(a) the same rights against the same persons as to capital, interest and dividends, and

(b) the same remedies for the enforcement of those rights,

in spite of any difference in the total nominal amounts of the respective securities or in the form in which they are held or the manner in which they can be transferred.

(5) For the purposes of this Schedule it does not matter whether or not provision of any arrangement conferring a right or imposing an obligation on any person to buy any securities is subject to any conditions.

(6) For the purposes of this Schedule an arrangement is in force from the time when the securities are initially sold until the earlier of—

(a) the time when the relevant repurchase takes place, and

(7) For this purpose “the relevant repurchase” means—

(a) in the case of a debtor repo, the subsequent buying of the securities or similar securities,

(c) in the case of a creditor repo, the subsequent sale of the securities or similar securities, and

(d) in the case of a creditor quasi-repo, the subsequent sale of the securities or other securities by the lender, the receipt of the asset from the lender or (as the case may be) the discharge of the liability to the lender.

(8) Any reference in this Schedule to an amount being recognised in determining a company's profit or loss for a period is to an amount being recognised for accounting purposes—

(a) in the company's profit and loss account or income statement,

(b) in the company's statement of recognised gains and losses or statement of changes in equity, or

(c) in any other statement of items brought into account in calculating the company's profits and losses for that period.

(9) In determining for the purposes of this Schedule whether an amount is recorded as a financial asset or liability in respect of the advance it is to be assumed that the period of account in which the advance is received or made ended immediately after the receipt or making of the advance.

(10) For the purposes of paragraphs 6(4) and 11(4)—

(a) any period of account in which the advance is received or made is treated as if it ended immediately after the receipt or making of the advance, and

(b) a new period of account is treated as beginning immediately after the end of that period.

(11) If any person does not draw up accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, this Schedule applies as if the accounts had been drawn up by the person in accordance with that practice.

“751A Reduction in chargeable profits for certain activities of EEA business establishments

(1) This section applies if—

(a) an apportionment under section 747(3) falls to be made as regards an accounting period (“the relevant accounting period”) of a controlled foreign company,

(b) throughout that period the controlled foreign company has a business establishment in an EEA territory,

(c) throughout that period there are individuals who work for the controlled foreign company in that territory, and

(d) a company resident in the United Kingdom (“the UK resident company”) has a relevant interest in the controlled foreign company in that period.

(2) The UK resident company may make an application to the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs for the chargeable profits of the controlled foreign company for the relevant accounting period to be reduced by an amount (“the specified amount”) specified in the application (including to nil).

(3) If the Commissioners grant the application—

(a) those chargeable profits are treated as reduced by the specified amount, and

(b) the controlled foreign company's creditable tax (if any) for that period is treated as reduced by so much of that tax as, on a just and reasonable basis, relates to the reduction in those chargeable profits,

for the purpose of applying section 747(3) to (5) for determining the sum (if any) chargeable on the UK resident company under section 747(4)(a) (but for no other purpose).

(4) The Commissioners may grant the application only if they are satisfied that the specified amount does not exceed the amount (if any) equal to so much of those chargeable profits as can reasonably be regarded as representing the net economic value which—

(a) arises to the appropriate body of persons (taken as a whole), and

(b) is created directly by qualifying work.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) “net economic value” does not include any value which derives directly or indirectly from the reduction or elimination of any liability of any person to any tax or duty imposed under the law of any territory.

(6) For the purposes of subsection (4) “the appropriate body of persons” means—

(a) if the controlled foreign company is not a member of a group of companies, the controlled foreign company and the persons who have an interest in it at any time in the relevant accounting period, and

(b) if the controlled foreign company is a member of a group of companies, all the persons falling within paragraph (a) and any other person who is a member of that group of companies,

and for the purposes of this subsection “group of companies” means a company and any other companies of which it has control.

(7) For the purposes of subsection (4) “qualifying work” means work which—

(a) is done in any EEA territory in which the controlled foreign company has a business establishment throughout the relevant accounting period, and

(b) is done in that territory by individuals working for the controlled foreign company there.

(8) Any reference in this section to a business establishment of a controlled foreign company in an EEA territory is to be construed in accordance with paragraph 7 of Schedule 25 (but as if the reference in that paragraph to the territory in which the company is resident were to the EEA territory).

(9) For the purposes of this section individuals are not to be regarded as working for a company in any territory unless—

(a) they are employed by the company in the territory, or

(b) they are otherwise directed by the company to perform duties on its behalf in the territory.

751B Section 751A: supplementary

(1) An application by a company under section 751A—

(a) must be made in such form as the HMRC Commissioners may determine,

(b) must be accompanied by such documents (or copies of documents) in the company's possession or power as those Commissioners may reasonably require for the purpose of determining whether to grant the application, and

(c) must contain such information as those Commissioners may reasonably require for that purpose.

(2) An application by a company under section 751A—

(a) may be made at any time on or before the filing date (within the meaning of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998) for the relevant company tax return of the company, and

(b) may be amended or withdrawn at any time before the application is determined by those Commissioners.

(3) If an application by a company under section 751A is granted after the company has delivered its relevant company tax return, it has 30 days beginning with the day on which the application is granted in which to amend that return to give effect to section 751A.

(4) The time limits otherwise applicable to an amendment of a company tax return do not prevent an amendment being made under subsection (3).

(5) If the HMRC Commissioners refuse an application by a company under section 751A, the company may appeal to the Special Commissioners against the refusal.

(6) Notice of an appeal must be given in writing to the HMRC Commissioners within 30 days after the application is refused.

(7) On an appeal—

(a) if the Special Commissioners are satisfied that the relevant amount is a different amount from the amount specified in the application, they must direct the HMRC Commissioners to grant the application as if the amount specified in it were that different amount,

(b) if the Special Commissioners are satisfied that the relevant amount is the amount specified in the application, they must direct the HMRC Commissioners to grant the application, and

(c) in any other case, the Special Commissioners must confirm the refusal.

(8) For the purposes of subsection (7) “the relevant amount” means the amount (if any) equal to so much of the chargeable profits mentioned in subsection (4) of section 751A as can reasonably be regarded as representing the value mentioned in that subsection.

(9) Part 5 of the Management Act (appeals against assessments to tax), apart from section 50, applies in relation to an appeal under this section as it applies in relation to an appeal against an assessment to tax.

(10) In this section “relevant company tax return”, in relation to a company, means the return for the accounting period for which—

(a) any sum is chargeable on the company under section 747(4)(a), or

(b) the contributions are treated by this section as paid in respect of premiums under the non-group life policy (see subsections (3) to (5)).

(2) For the purposes of this section a “non-group life policy” is a policy of insurance under which the only benefits which may become payable are benefits payable in consequence, or in anticipation, of—

(a) the death of the individual or one of a group of individuals which includes the individual, or

(b) the deaths of more than one of a group of individuals—

(i) which includes the individual, and

(ii) the other members of which are connected with the individual.

(3) Contributions paid by or on behalf of the individual under the pension scheme are treated as paid in respect of premiums under the non-group life policy if—

(a) the payment of the contributions constitutes the payment of premiums under the policy, or

(b) the person by whom the contributions are paid intends the contributions (or an amount equivalent to them) to be applied towards paying premiums under the policy.

(4) Where the amount of the premiums under the policy in a tax year exceeds the amount of any contributions treated as paid in respect of the premiums by subsection (3), other contributions paid by or on behalf of the individual under the pension scheme in the tax year are treated as paid in respect of premiums under the policy to the extent that their amount does not exceed the difference between the amount of the premiums and the amount of any contributions treated as paid in respect of the premiums by subsection (3).

(5) But where—

(a) the benefits under the policy relate to the death of one or more of a group of individuals, and

(b) contributions are also paid under the pension scheme in the tax year by or on behalf of another member or other members of the group,

the amount of the contributions paid by or on behalf of the individual which are treated as paid in respect of premiums under the policy by subsection (4) does not exceed what is just and reasonable having regard to the operation of section 188(3)(aa) in relation to the contributions paid by or on behalf of another member or other members of the group.

(6) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations amend subsections (2) to (5).

(7) Regulations under subsection (6) which limit—

(a) the policies of insurance which are non-group life assurance policies for the purposes of this section, or

(b) the contributions which are treated by this section as paid in respect of premiums under such policies,

may be made so as to have effect in relation to times before they are made.

(8) For the purposes of this section an individual (“A”) is connected with another individual (“B”) if—

(a) A is B's spouse or civil partner,

(b) A is a relative of B,

(c) A is the spouse or civil partner of a relative of B,
