Explanations of termsU.K.

151Meaning of “75% subsidiary” and “90% subsidiary”U.K.

(1)In this Part “75% subsidiary” and “90% subsidiary” are to be read in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 24, but subject to subsections (2) to (4).

(2)In applying the definition of “75% subsidiary” in section 1154(3), share capital of a [F1registered society ] is to be treated as if it were ordinary share capital.

(3)If—

(a)a company (“the shareholder”) directly owns shares in another company, and

(b)a profit on the sale of those shares would be a trading receipt of the shareholder,

the shareholder is treated as not being the owner of those shares for the purpose of determining if any company is a 75% subsidiary of any other company.

(4)If a company (“the subsidiary”) would, apart from this subsection, be treated as a 75% or 90% subsidiary of another company (“the parent”) at any time, the subsidiary is not to be so treated unless at that time the parent—

(a)is beneficially entitled to at least 75% or 90% (as the case may be) of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the subsidiary (see Chapter 6), and

(b)would be beneficially entitled to at least 75% or 90% (as the case may be) of any assets of the subsidiary available for distribution to such equity holders on a winding up (see Chapter 6).
