(1)Subsections (2) to (4) define, for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts, the circumstances in which a body corporate (“B”) is a 51% subsidiary, a 75% subsidiary or a 90% subsidiary of another body corporate (“A”).
(2)B is a 51% subsidiary of A if more than 50% of B's ordinary share capital is owned directly or indirectly by A.
(3)B is a 75% subsidiary of A if at least 75% of B's ordinary share capital is owned directly or indirectly by A.
(4)B is a 90% subsidiary of A if at least 90% of B's ordinary share capital is owned directly by A.
(5)For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) ordinary share capital is owned “directly or indirectly” by a body corporate if it is owned by it—
(a)directly,
(b)indirectly, or
(c)partly directly and partly indirectly.
(6)In this Chapter references to ownership are to be read as references to beneficial ownership.
Modifications etc. (not altering text)
C1S. 1154 modified by Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (c. 1), Sch. 25 para. 12(3) (as amended) (with effect in accordance with s. 1184(1) of the amending Act) by 2010 c. 4, s. 1184(1), Sch. 1 para. 147(3) (with Sch. 2)
(1)For the purposes of this Chapter ordinary share capital is owned indirectly by a body corporate if it is owned through another body corporate or other bodies corporate.
(2)References in this Chapter to ownership through a body corporate are to be read in accordance with subsections (3) and (4).
(3)Suppose that 3 or more bodies corporate are ordered in a series such that each body in the series (other than the last) owns ordinary share capital of the body immediately below it in the series.
(4)If B is a body that is below, but not immediately below, A in the series, A is said to own ordinary share capital of B through each body corporate that is between A and B in the series.
(5)Sections 1156 and 1157 contain rules for calculating, for the purposes of this Chapter, the amount of a body corporate's ordinary share capital that another body corporate owns—
(a)indirectly, or
(b)partly directly and partly indirectly.
(1)If a body corporate (“A”) directly owns the whole of the ordinary share capital of another body corporate (“B”), A is treated as indirectly owning the whole of any ordinary share capital that is owned directly or indirectly by B.
(2)If a body corporate (“A”) directly owns a fraction of the ordinary share capital of another body corporate (“B”) and B directly or indirectly owns ordinary share capital of a third body corporate (“C”), A is treated as indirectly owning the amount of C's ordinary share capital given by the formula—
where—
F is the fraction of B's ordinary share capital that is owned by A, and
M is the amount of the ordinary share capital of C that is owned directly or indirectly by B.
(3)For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), the amount of any ordinary share capital that is owned indirectly by B is calculated using subsection (1) or (2), or both, as appropriate.
(1)If A and C are bodies corporate and—
(a)A owns, through one or more bodies corporate (“the intermediaries in the first series”), a fraction of C's ordinary share capital, and
(b)A also owns a further fraction of C's ordinary share capital (or further fractions of C's ordinary share capital),
all those fractions are added together to find the amount of C's ordinary share capital that is owned by A.
(2)The reference in subsection (1)(b) to a further fraction of C's share capital is to a fraction of C's share capital that A owns—
(a)directly, or
(b)indirectly but through one or more bodies corporate which do not (together) constitute all of the intermediaries in the first series, or which include a body corporate that is not an intermediary in the first series.
