(3)The “full tax benefit” of the loss is the reduction in the corporation tax liability of the company that would result if—

(b)they would be required to be comprised in such accounts but for the application of an exemption mentioned in subsection (3) of that section.

  • sections 466 to 471 of CTA 2009 (companies connected for accounting period), and

  • sections 473 and 474 of CTA 2009 (meaning of “major interest”).

937LInterpretation of references to economic losses and profitsU.K.

(1)A reference in this Part to an “economic” loss or profit made by any person in a period is to a loss or profit made by that person in that period, computed taking into account unrealised (as well as realised) losses and profits.

(3)Where—

(a)any member of the relevant group makes a scheme loss or profit in an accounting period, and

(b)that scheme loss or profit is, under generally accepted accounting practice, calculated by reference to fluctuations in the scheme rate, index or value over a longer period,

the economic loss or profit made by the group in the accounting period as a result of those fluctuations is, so far as it relates to that scheme loss or profit, to be computed over that longer period.

(4)In determining for the purposes of this Part the amount of an economic loss or profit made by the relevant group in any period, the economic losses and profits of each member of the relevant group—

(a)are (subject to subsection (3)) to be computed over that period (whether or not that period is an accounting period of the member), but

(b)are only to be taken into account to the extent that they are attributable to times at which the member is a party to the risk transfer scheme in question.

(5)A reference in this Part to a “pre-tax” economic loss or profit is a reference to an economic loss or profit determined disregarding any loss or gain made as a result of the operation of any provision of the Corporation Tax Acts.

937MForeign currency accountingU.K.

(1)In determining under this Part amounts that a company may or may not bring into account in an accounting period, economic losses and profits are to be computed in the tax calculation currency of that company in that accounting period.
