After Chapter 12 insert—
CHAPTER 12AAllocation of dual inclusion income within group
Introduction
259ZMOverview of Chapter
1
This Chapter contains provision that allows surplus dual inclusion income to be allocated within a group of companies.
2
Section 259ZMA contains the conditions that must be met for this Chapter to apply.
3
Subsection (2) of that section defines “the DII surplus” and subsection (3) of that section defines “the DII shortfall”.
4
Sections 259ZMB to 259ZMD contain provision allowing the unused part of the DII surplus of one company to be treated as dual inclusion income of another company in the same group, where it can be matched against the unused part of the DII shortfall of the other company.
5
Section 259ZME identifies when companies are in the same group.
Application of Chapter
259ZMACircumstances in which Chapter applies
1
This Chapter applies if conditions A to E are met.
2
Condition A is that, for an accounting period (“the surplus period”), the dual inclusion income of a company (“company A”) exceeds its counteraction amount.
In this Chapter, the amount of the excess is referred to as “the DII surplus”.
3
Condition B is that, for an accounting period (“the shortfall period”), the counteraction amount of another company (“company B”) exceeds its dual inclusion income.
In this Chapter, the amount of the excess is referred to as “the DII shortfall”.
4
See section 259ZMF for the meanings of “dual inclusion income” and “counteraction amount”.
5
Condition C is that there is a period (“the overlapping period”) that is common to both the surplus period and the shortfall period (and see subsections (8) and (9)).
6
Condition D is that there is a time during the overlapping period when both company A and company B are within the charge to corporation tax.
7
Condition E is that there is a time during the overlapping period when company A and company B are members of the same group of companies (see section 259ZME).
8
Subsection (9) applies if, during any part of the overlapping period—
a
either company A or company B is not within the charge to corporation tax, or
b
company A and company B are not members of the same group of companies.
9
That part is treated as not forming part of the overlapping period but instead as—
a
forming part of the surplus period that is not included in the overlapping period, and
b
forming part of the shortfall period that is not included in the overlapping period.
Allocation of DII surplus
259ZMBClaims for allocation of DII surplus
1
Company B may make a claim (an “allocation claim”) for all or part of the unused part of the DII surplus of company A for the overlapping period (see section 259ZMC) to be allocated to company B for the shortfall period, if the following requirements are met.
Requirement 1 Company A consents to the allocation claim.
Requirement 2 The allocation claim identifies the amount of the DII surplus to which it relates.
Requirement 3 Company B has an amount of ordinary income for the shortfall period (“matchable income”) that—
- a
is not dual inclusion income, and
- b
is equal to or exceeds the amount of the DII surplus to which the allocation claim relates.
Requirement 4 The allocation claim identifies the amount of matchable income to which the claim relates.
Requirement 5 The amount of matchable income to which the claim relates—
- a
is equal to the amount of the DII surplus to which the claim relates, and
- b
does not exceed the unused part of the DII shortfall of company B for the shortfall period (see section 259ZMD).
2
If company B makes an allocation claim—
a
the amount of company A's dual inclusion income for the surplus period is reduced by the amount of matchable income to which the claim relates, and
b
the amount of matchable income to which the claim relates is treated in relation to company B as if the following assumptions were made.
3
The assumptions are that—
a
things done by or to company A in relation to that amount are treated as done by or to company B, and
b
all other factual circumstances (or circumstances treated as existing as a result of any provision made by this Part) in relation to that amount are unchanged.
259ZMCThe unused part of the DII surplus
1
This section identifies the unused part of the DII surplus of company A for the overlapping period, for the purposes of an allocation claim made by company B (“the current allocation claim”).
2
The unused part of the DII surplus of company A for the overlapping period is the amount equal to—
a
the DII surplus for the overlapping period (see subsection (3)), less
b
the amount of prior allocations for that period (see subsections (4) to (7)).
3
To determine the DII surplus for the overlapping period—
a
take the proportion of the surplus period included in the overlapping period, and
b
apply that proportion to the DII surplus for the surplus period.
The DII surplus for the overlapping period is the amount given as a result of paragraph (b).
4
To determine the amount of prior allocations for the overlapping period—
a
identify any prior allocation claims for the purposes of this section (see subsection (5)), and
b
take the steps set out in subsection (6) in relation to each such claim.
The amount of prior allocations for the overlapping period is the total of the previously used amounts given at Step 3 in subsection (6) for all the prior allocation claims.
5
An allocation claim is a prior allocation claim for the purposes of this section if—
a
it is an allocation claim made by a company in respect of all or part of the DII surplus of company A for the surplus period,
b
it is made before the current allocation claim, and
c
it has not been withdrawn.
6
These are the steps referred to in subsection (4)(b) to be taken in relation to each prior allocation claim.
Step 1 Identify the overlapping period for the prior allocation claim.
Step 2 Identify any period that is common to the overlapping period for the current allocation claim and the overlapping period for the prior allocation claim. If there is a common period, go to Step 3. If there is no common period, there is no previously allocated amount in relation to the prior allocation claim (and ignore Step 3).
Step 3 Determine the previously allocated amount of the DII surplus in relation to the prior allocation claim (see subsection (7)).
7
To determine the previously allocated amount of the DII surplus in relation to the prior allocation claim—
a
take the proportion of the overlapping period for the prior allocation claim that is included in the common period identified at Step 2 in subsection (6) in relation to that claim, and
b
apply that proportion to the amount of the DII surplus allocated on the prior allocation claim.
The previously allocated amount of the DII surplus in relation to the prior allocation claim is the amount given as a result of paragraph (b).
8
If two or more allocation claims are made at the same time, for the purposes of this section treat the claims as made—
a
in such order as the companies making them may jointly elect, or
b
if no such election is made, in such order as an officer of Revenue and Customs may direct.
9
For the purposes of Step 3 in subsection (6), the amount of the DII surplus allocated on a prior allocation claim is determined on the basis that an amount is allocated on the claim before it is allocated on a later claim.
10
If the use of the proportion mentioned in subsection (3) or (7) would, in the circumstances of a particular case, produce a result that is unjust or unreasonable, the proportion is to be modified so far as necessary to produce a result that is just and reasonable.
259ZMDThe unused part of the DII shortfall
1
This section identifies the unused part of the DII shortfall of company B for the shortfall period, for the purposes of an allocation claim made by company B (“the current allocation claim”).
2
The unused part of the DII shortfall of company B for the shortfall period is the amount equal to—
a
the DII shortfall for the shortfall period, less
b
the amount of prior matches for the shortfall period (see subsections (3) to (5)).
3
To determine the amount of prior matches for the shortfall period—
a
identify any prior allocation claims for the purposes of this section (see subsection (4)), and
b
determine the previously matched amount of the DII shortfall in relation to each prior allocation claim (see subsection (5)).
The amount of prior matches for the shortfall period is the total of the previously matched amounts of the DII shortfall in relation to all the prior allocation claims.
4
An allocation claim is a prior allocation claim for the purposes of this section if—
a
it is an allocation claim made by company B for the shortfall period,
b
it is made before the current allocation claim, and
c
it has not been withdrawn.
5
The previously matched amount of the DII shortfall in relation to a prior allocation claim is the amount that is treated as dual inclusion income of company B for the shortfall period as a result of the claim (see section 259ZMB(3)(a)).
6
If two or more allocation claims are made at the same time, for the purposes of this section treat the claims as made—
a
in such order as company B may elect, or
b
if no such election is made, in such order as an officer of Revenue and Customs may direct.
7
For the purposes of subsection (3)(b), the amount of the DII shortfall matched in relation to a prior allocation claim is determined on the basis that an amount is matched on the claim before it is matched on a later claim.
Groups
259ZMEGroups of companies

a
one is a 75% subsidiary of the other, or
b
both are 75% subsidiaries of a third company.

This Part of this Schedule applies to allocation claims under Chapter 12A of Part 6A of TIOPA 2010 (hybrid and other mismatches: allocation of dual inclusion income within group).
2
Expressions used in this Part of this Schedule and in that Chapter have the same meaning in this Part of this Schedule as they have in that Chapter.
Claims to be included in company tax return
77C
1
An allocation claim must be made by being included in the company tax return of the claimant company (“company B”) for the shortfall period.
2
It may be included in the return originally made or by amendment.
Consent to allocation claim
77D
1
In accordance with Requirement 1 in section 259ZMB of TIOPA 2010, an allocation claim in respect of all or part of the DII surplus of a company (“company A”) requires the company's consent.
2
The necessary consent must be given—
a
by notice in writing,
b
to an officer of Revenue and Customs,
c
at or before the time the allocation claim is made.
Otherwise the allocation claim is ineffective.

Notice of consent may not be amended, but it may be withdrawn and replaced by another notice of consent.
3
Notice of consent may be withdrawn by notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs.
4
Except where the consent is withdrawn under paragraph 77I (withdrawal in consequence of reduction of DII surplus), the notice of withdrawal must be accompanied by a notice signifying the consent of company B to the withdrawal.
Otherwise the notice of withdrawal is ineffective.
5
Company B must, so far as it may do so, amend its company tax return for the accounting period for which the allocation claim was made so as to reflect the withdrawal of consent.
Notice of consent requiring amendment of return
77F
1
Where company A gives notice of consent to an allocation claim in respect of all or part of an accounting period after filing its company tax return for the accounting period, company A must amend its company tax return for the accounting period so as to reflect the notice of consent.
2
The time limits otherwise applicable to amendment of a company tax return do not prevent an amendment being made under sub-paragraph (1).
3
If company A fails to comply with sub-paragraph (1), the notice of consent is ineffective.
Withdrawal or amendment of allocation claim
77G
1
An allocation claim may be withdrawn by company B only by amending its company tax return.

if an appeal is brought against such an amendment, 30 days after the date on which the appeal is finally determined.
2
An allocation claim may be made or withdrawn at a later time if an officer of Revenue and Customs allows it.

The time limits otherwise applicable to amendment of a company tax return do not apply to an amendment to the extent that it makes or withdraws an allocation claim within the time allowed by or under this paragraph,
4
The references in sub-paragraph (1) to an enquiry into a company tax return do not include an enquiry restricted to a previous amendment making or withdrawing a claim.
5
An enquiry is so restricted if—
a
the scope of the enquiry is limited as mentioned in paragraph 25(2), and
b
the amendment giving rise to the enquiry consisted of the making or withdrawing of an allocation claim.
Reduction in DII surplus

This paragraph applies if, after company A has given one or more notices of consent to an allocation claim or claims, the unused part of the DII surplus of company A is reduced to less than the amount stated in the notice of consent, or the total of the amounts stated in the notices of consent.
2
Company A must within 30 days withdraw the notice of consent, or as many of the notices of consent as is necessary to bring the total amount of the DII surplus to which the claim or claims relate within the new unused part of the DII surplus of company A.

The power in sub-paragraph (5) must not be exercised to any greater extent than is necessary to secure that the total amount stated in the notice or notices is consistent with the unused part of the DII surplus of company A.
7
An officer of Revenue and Customs must at the same time send a copy of the notice to each company affected by the exercise of the power.
8
A company which receives—
a
notice of the withdrawal of consent, or a copy of a new notice of consent, under sub-paragraph (4), or
b
a copy of a notice containing directions by an officer of Revenue and Customs under sub-paragraph (7),
must, so far as it may do so, amend its company tax return for the accounting period for which the claim is made so that it is consistent with the new position with regard to consent to an allocation claim.
9
An appeal may be brought by company A against any directions given by an officer of Revenue and Customs under sub-paragraph (5).
10
Notice of appeal must be given—

3
The assessment may not be made more than two years after that time limit.
4
The amount of the assessment must not exceed—

This power is without prejudice to—
a
the power to make a discovery assessment under paragraph 41(1);
b
the making of all such adjustments by way of discharge or repayment of tax or otherwise as may be required where an amount claimed by company B on an allocation claim is excessive or company A has given consent to an allocation claim in respect of a corresponding amount.

259MBApplication of Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 7
1
This section applies where—
a
Chapter 3, 4, 5 or 7 applies in respect of a payment or quasi-payment,
b
the relevant structured arrangement condition is not met, and
c
it is reasonable to suppose that a proportion of the payment or quasi-payment is attributable to a person as a result of that person's interest (direct or indirect) in a transparent fund that is the primary fund in relation to that person.
2
For the purposes of this section, a proportion of a payment or quasi-payment is attributable to a person if, as a result of that payment or quasi-payment—
a
ordinary income arises to that person, or
b
would arise if the person were resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom.
3
The primary fund in relation to a person is—
a
where the income arises or would arise because of an indirect interest the person has in a transparent fund as a result of another transparent fund, or a series of transparent funds, having an interest in that first fund, that first fund, or
b
where the income arises or would arise because of a direct or indirect interest the person has in a single transparent fund, that fund.
4
The relevant structured arrangement condition is the condition—
a
where Chapter 3 applies, in section 259CA(6)(c),
b
where Chapter 4 applies, in section 259DA(6)(c),
c
where Chapter 5 applies, in section 259EA(7)(c), and
d
where Chapter 7 applies, in section 259GA(7)(c).
5
The Chapter in question applies subject to subsection (6).
6
If it is reasonable to suppose that the proportion of the payment or quasi-payment that is attributable to a person as a result of the person's interest in the primary fund is less than 10% of the relevant amount, that proportion is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the extent of a mismatch under the Chapter in question.
7
For the purposes of subsection (6) “the relevant amount” means the amount of ordinary income that it would, on the relevant assumption, have been reasonable to expect to arise to the primary fund as a result of—
a
in the case of a payment, the payment, or
b
in the case of a quasi payment, the circumstances giving rise to the relevant deduction (see section 259BB(2)).
8
The relevant assumption is that the primary fund were a person to whom ordinary income would arise as a result of that payment or those circumstances.
9
Where a person to whom a proportion of the payment or quasi-payment is attributable as a result of the person's interest in the primary fund is connected (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsections (4) and (7) of that section) to another person to whom a proportion is attributable as a result of that person's interest in that same fund, the rights and interests of those persons are to be aggregated (and accordingly if the proportion attributable between them is 10% or more of the relevant amount, that proportion is not to be ignored).
259MCApplication of Chapter 9
1
This section applies where—
a
Chapter 9 applies in relation to a hybrid entity double deduction amount (see section 259IA(4)) in respect of an investor in a hybrid entity,
b
the condition in section 259IA(6)(b) is not met, and
c
that investor in the hybrid entity is an investor in it as a result of an interest (direct or indirect) it has in a transparent fund (“the relevant fund”) that directly holds an interest in—
i
the hybrid entity, or
ii
another entity that is not a transparent fund and which holds a direct or indirect interest in the hybrid entity.
2
Chapter 9 applies subject to subsection (3).
3
If it is reasonable to suppose that—
a
some or all of the hybrid entity double deduction amount that relates to the investor arises as a result of the investor's interest in the relevant fund, and
b
the amount that arises as a result of that interest (“the relevant amount”) is less than 10% of the potential double deduction amount,
the relevant amount is to be ignored for the purposes of determining the extent of a mismatch under that Chapter.
4
In this section “potential double deduction amount” means the hybrid double deduction amount that would arise in relation to the relevant fund if it were an investor in the hybrid entity.

Where the investor is connected (within the meaning given by section 1122 of CTA 2010, ignoring subsections (4) and (7) of that section) to another investor with an interest in the relevant fund, the rights and interests of those investors are to be aggregated (and accordingly, if the sum of the relevant amounts in respect of each of them is 10% or more of the potential double deduction amount, that proportion is not to be ignored).
