(a)receipts in respect of intangible fixed assets that are recognised in determining the company's profit or loss as they accrue (see section 721),

(1)If in a period of account a gain representing a receipt in respect of an intangible fixed asset is recognised in determining the company's profit or loss, a corresponding credit must be brought into account for tax purposes.
(2)The amount of the credit is the same as the amount of the gain recognised by the company for accounting purposes.
(3)Subsection (2) is subject to any adjustments required by this Part or [F1Part 4 of TIOPA 2010] (provision not at arm's length).
Textual Amendments
F1Words in s. 721(3) substituted (with effect in accordance with s. 381(1) of the amending Act) by Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 (c. 8), s. 381(1), Sch. 8 para. 145(1), (2) (with Sch. 9 paras. 1-9, 22)
(1)So far as a receipt in respect of any royalty does not give rise to a credit under section 721 in the period of account in which it is received or in a subsequent period of account, a credit must be brought into account for tax purposes.
(2)The credit must be brought into account in the accounting period in which the receipt is recognised for accounting purposes.
(3)The amount of the credit is equal to so much of the amount of the receipt as does not give rise to a credit under section 721.
(1)If in a period of account there is an increase in the accounting value of an intangible fixed asset on a revaluation, a credit must be brought into account for tax purposes.
(2)The amount of the credit is the lesser of—

(b)the net total of relevant previous tax debits (see subsection (4)).
(3)The amount corresponding for tax purposes to the increase is—
where—
I is the increase,
WDV is the tax written-down value of the asset immediately before the revaluation, and

(2)The amount of the credit is so much of the gain recognised for accounting purposes as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, is attributable to intangible fixed assets.
(1)This section applies if—
(a)in a period of account a gain is recognised in determining the company's profit or loss (“the recognised gain”),
(b)the gain wholly or partly reverses a loss recognised in a previous period of account (“the reversed loss”), and
(c)a debit was brought into account for tax purposes under Chapter 3 (debits in respect of intangible fixed assets) in respect of that loss (“the tax debit”).
(2)A corresponding credit must be brought into account for tax purposes.
(3)The amount of the credit is—
where—
