This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)If the company—
(a)is entitled to a film tax credit for an accounting period, and
(b)makes a claim,
the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“the Commissioners”) must pay to the company the amount of the credit.
(2)An amount payable in respect of—
(a)a film tax credit, or
(b)interest on a film tax credit under section 826 of ICTA,
may be applied in discharging any liability of the company to pay corporation tax.
To the extent that it is so applied the Commissioners' liability under subsection (1) is discharged.
(3)If the company’s company tax return for the accounting period is enquired into by the Commissioners, no payment in respect of a film tax credit for that period need be made before the Commissioners' enquiries are completed (see paragraph 32 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998).
In those circumstances the Commissioners may make a payment on a provisional basis of such amount as they consider appropriate.
(4)No payment need be made in respect of a film tax credit for an accounting period before the company has paid to the Commissioners any amount that it is required to pay for payment periods ending in that accounting period—
(a)under PAYE regulations,
(b)under section 966 of ITA 2007 (visiting performers), or
(c)in respect of Class 1 contributions under Part 1 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) or Part 1 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 7).
(5)A payment in respect of a film tax credit is not income of the company for any tax purpose.
