Section 34
1U.K.After Part 14 of CTA 2010 insert—
(1)This Part makes provision restricting the circumstances in which deductible amounts may be brought into account where there has been a qualifying change in relation to a company.
(2)For the meaning of “deductible amount” and “qualifying change” see section 730B.

an expense of management of a company's investment business within the meaning of section 1219 of CTA 2009,
a non-trading debit within the meaning of Parts 5 and 6 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships and derivative contracts) (see section 301(2) of that Act), or
a non-trading debit within the meaning of Part 8 of CTA 2009 (intangible fixed assets) (see section 746 of that Act),

“qualifying change”, in relation to a company, has the same meaning as in that Chapter, and
“the relevant day” means the day on which the qualifying change in relation to C occurred.
(2)In this Part, references to bringing an amount into account “as a deduction” in any period are to bringing it into account as a deduction in that period—
(a)in calculating profits, losses or other amounts for corporation tax purposes, or
(b)from profits or other amounts chargeable to corporation tax.
(1)This section applies where a relevant claim is made for an accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(2)“Relevant claim” means a claim by C, or a company connected with C, under—
(a)section 37 (relief for trade losses against total profits), or
(b)Chapter 4 of Part 5 (group relief).
(3)A deductible amount that meets conditions A and B may not be the subject of, or brought into account as a deduction in, the claim.
(4)But subsection (3) does not exclude any amount which could have been the subject of, or brought into account as a deduction in, the claim in the absence of the qualifying change.
(5)Condition A is that, on the relevant day, it is highly likely that the amount, or any part of it, would (disregarding this Part) be the subject of, or brought into account as a deduction in, a relevant claim for an accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(6)Any question as to what is “highly likely” on the relevant day for the purposes of subsection (5) is to be determined having regard to—
(a)any arrangements made on or before that day, and
(b)any events that take place on or before that day.
(7)Condition B is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of change arrangements is for the amount (whether or not together with other deductible amounts) to be the subject of, or brought into account as a deduction in, a relevant claim for an accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(8)“Change arrangements” means any arrangements made to bring about, or otherwise connected with, the qualifying change.
(9)This section does not apply to a deductible amount if, and to the extent that—

(a)an increase in the total profits of C, or of a company connected with C, or
(b)a reduction of any loss or other amount for which relief from corporation tax could (disregarding this section) have been given to C or a company connected with C,
in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(2)A deductible amount that meets conditions D and E may not be brought into account by C, nor any company connected with C, as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(3)Condition D is that, on the relevant day, it is highly likely that the amount, or any part of it, would (disregarding this Part) be brought into account by C, or any company connected with C, as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(4)Any question as to what is “highly likely” on the relevant day for the purposes of subsection (3) is to be determined having regard to—
(a)any arrangements made on or before that day, and
(b)any events that take place on or before that day.
(5)Condition E is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the profit transfer arrangements is to bring the amount (whether or not together with other deductible amounts) into account as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day.
(6)Subsection (7) applies if—
(a)(disregarding subsection (7)) subsection (2) would prevent a deductible amount being brought into account by a company as a deduction in any accounting period ending on or after the relevant day, and
(b)in the absence of the profit transfer arrangements and disregarding any deductible amounts, the company would have an amount of total profits for that accounting period.
(7)Subsection (2) applies only in relation to such proportion of the deductible amount mentioned in subsection (6)(a) as is just and reasonable.”

(3)In Schedule 4 to that Act (index of defined expressions), insert at the appropriate places—
“arrangements (in Part 14A) | section 730B” |

(3)If—

(b)paragraph (a) or (b) of sub-paragraph (2) was satisfied before that date,
