357 Attribution: general U.K.

(1) In this Part references to the CITR attributable to any loan, securities or shares in respect of a tax year are read as references to the reduction which—

(a) is made in the investor's liability to income tax for that year, and

(4) If the reduction is obtained because of a loan or loans, securities or shares included in two or more investments, the reduction—

(a) is apportioned between the loan or loans, securities or shares in each of those investments in the same proportions as the invested amounts in respect of the loan or loans, securities or shares for the year, and

(b) is attributed to that loan or those loans, securities or shares accordingly.

(5) If under this section an amount of any reduction of income tax is attributed to any securities in the same issue, a proportionate part of that amount is attributed to each security.

(6) If under this section an amount of any reduction of income tax is attributed to any shares in the same issue, a proportionate part of that amount is attributed to each of those shares.

(7) If CITR attributable to a loan or any securities or shares falls to be withdrawn under Chapter 6, the CITR attributable to that loan or each of those securities or shares is reduced to nil.

(8) If CITR attributable to any securities or shares falls to be reduced under that Chapter by any amount, the CITR attributable to each of those securities or shares is reduced by a proportionate part of that amount.
