CHAPTER 3U.K.PARTICIPANTS CHARGEABLE TO CORPORATION TAX

Interest distributionsU.K.

The obligation to deduct taxU.K.

47.—(1) This regulation applies if an interest distribution is made for a distribution period to a participant chargeable to corporation tax.

(2) The deduction obligation does not apply to the interest distribution.

(3) But if the participant is a company which is the trustee of the trust to which (or under which) the interest distribution is made (or received), the deduction obligation is not excluded by virtue of paragraph (2).

(4) In its application to an interest distribution to a participant in respect of accumulation units, the deduction obligation is an obligation to deduct a sum out of the amount being invested on the participant's behalf.

Dividend distributionsU.K.

GeneralU.K.

48.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies if—

(a)a dividend distribution for a distribution period is made to a participant by the legal owner of an authorised investment fund, and

(b)on the distribution date for that distribution period the participant is within the charge to corporation tax.

(2) [F5Subject to paragraphs (2A) and (2B),] for the purpose of computing the corporation tax chargeable upon the participant, the unfranked part of the dividend distribution is treated—

(a)as an annual payment and not as a dividend distribution or an interest distribution; and

(b)as having been received by the participant after deduction of [F6tax at a rate equal to the basic rate of income tax] for the [F7tax year] in which the distribution date falls, from a corresponding gross amount.

[F8(2A) But paragraph (2) does not apply to a dividend distribution to which [F9Chapter 2 of Part 3 of CTA 2009] applies.

(2B) If, on the distribution date, the participant is the manager of the authorised investment fund, paragraph (2) shall not apply to the extent that the rights in respect of which the dividend distribution is made are held by him in the ordinary course of the manager’s business as manager of the fund.]

[F10(2C) Regulation 48A makes provision in relation to the unfranked part of the dividend distribution treated as an annual payment under paragraph (2)(a) and regulation 48B makes provision in relation to the tax treated as deducted under paragraph (2)(b).]

(3) Regulation 49 explains how to calculate the unfranked part of the dividend distribution.

[F11(4) This regulation does not apply in respect of a holding in a qualified investor scheme if the scheme has not met the genuine diversity of ownership condition in regulation [F129A] in relation to an accounting period.]

[F13Income treated as an annual payment treated as foreign incomeU.K.

48A.  If there is a foreign element of the tax treated as deducted under regulation 48(2)(b) (see regulation 48B), a corresponding proportionate part of the distribution which is treated as an annual payment under regulation 48(2)(a) is treated as if it were income that—

(a)arises in a territory of the kind mentioned in regulation 48B(3)(a), and

(b)is income by reference to which the tax treated under that provision as payable was computed.

Tax treated as deducted from a dividend distributionU.K.

48B.—(1) The tax treated as deducted under regulation 48(2)(b) (“the deemed deduction”) is treated as income tax.

(2) But paragraph (1) does not apply to any foreign element of the deemed deduction.

(3) Instead, for the purposes of the Tax Acts the foreign element of the deemed deduction is treated as if it were tax—

(a)payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom with which there are not in force any arrangements under section 2(1) of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief by agreement),

(b)calculated by reference to income arising or any chargeable gain accruing, in the territory, and

(c)corresponding to United Kingdom corporation tax.

(4) The amount of the foreign element of the deemed deduction is the amount, if any, by which the participant’s portion of the legal owner’s liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income is reduced by any relief which is given, or falls to be given by way of a credit under section 18 of TIOPA 2010 (entitlement to credit for foreign tax reduces UK tax by amount of the credit).

(5) For the purposes of paragraph (4) the participant’s portion shall be determined by reference to the proportions in which participants have rights in the authorised investment fund in the distribution period in question.]

Calculation of unfranked part of dividend distributionU.K.

49.—(1) This is how to calculate the unfranked part of the dividend distribution—

(2) In paragraph (1)—

  • U = the unfranked part of the dividend distribution to the participant;

  • A = the amount of the dividend distribution;

  • C = such amount of the gross income as does not derive from franked investment income, as reduced by an amount equal to the legal owner's net liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income;

  • D = the amount of the gross income, as reduced by an amount equal to the legal owner's net liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income.

[F14(2A) For the purpose of calculating the value of C in paragraph (1) in relation to a distribution made by an authorised investment fund (“AIF1”) to a participant, the amount of any distribution from another authorised investment fund (“AIF2”) which is treated by AIF1 as an annual payment by virtue of regulation 48(2)(a), shall be treated as not deriving from franked investment income arising to AIF2.]

(3) Any reference in this regulation to the legal owner's net liability to corporation tax in respect of the gross income is a reference to the amount of the liability of the legal owner to corporation tax in respect of that gross income less the amount (if any) of any reduction of that liability which is given or falls to be given in accordance with any arrangements having effect by virtue of section 788 of ICTA (relief by agreement with other territories) or by way of a credit under section 790(1) of that Act (unilateral relief).

[F16Participants chargeable to corporation tax: holdings in qualified investor schemes where scheme does not meet the genuine diversity of ownership conditionU.K.

51.—(1) This regulation applies if—

(a)a participant has a holding in a qualified investor scheme, and

(b)the scheme has not met the genuine diversity of ownership condition in regulation [F179A] in relation to an accounting period.
