(1)The general rule is that no impairment loss or release debit in respect of a company's creditor relationship is to be brought into account for the purposes of this Part for an accounting period if section 349 (application of amortised cost basis to connected companies relationship) applies to the relationship for the period.
(2)That rule is subject to—
(a)section 356 (swapping debt for equity), and
(b)section 357 (insolvent creditors).
(3)Nothing in this section affects the debits to be brought into account for the purposes of this Part in respect of exchange gains or losses arising from a debt.
(1)This section applies if, in the case of a creditor relationship of a company—
(a)an impairment loss or release debit is excluded by section 354 from being brought into account for any accounting period, and
(b)there is a later accounting period for which the creditor relationship in respect of the debt is not a connected companies relationship.
(2)So far as any amount represents the impairment loss or release debit, no debit may be brought into account in respect of it—
(a)for the first accounting period within subsection (1)(b), or
(b)for any subsequent such accounting period.
(1)An impairment loss or release debit in relation to a liability to pay any amount to a company (“the creditor company”) under its creditor relationship is not prevented from being brought into account by section 354 if conditions A, B and C are met.
(2)Condition A is that the creditor company treats the liability as discharged.
(3)Condition B is that it does so in consideration of—
(a)any shares forming part of the ordinary share capital of the company on which the liability would otherwise have fallen, or
(b)any entitlement to such shares.
(4)Condition C is that there would be no connection between the two companies for the accounting period in which the consideration is given if the question whether there is such a connection were determined by reference only to times before the creditor company—
(a)acquired possession of the shares, or
(b)acquired any entitlement to them.
(1)An impairment loss or release debit is not prevented from being brought into account by section 354 in relation to an amount accruing to a company (“the creditor”) if—

(7)Section 323 applies for interpreting this section as it applies for interpreting section 322(6).
