(5) Paragraphs 10 to 13 have effect for the purpose of determining the reference amount for a pre-commencement period.

10

(1) For the purpose of determining the amount of any pre-commencement supplement, a qualifying company shall be taken to have had, at all times in the pre-commencement periods of the company, a continuing mixed pool of qualifying E&A expenditure and pre-commencement supplement.

(2) The pool shall be taken to have consisted of—

(a) the company’s qualifying E&A expenditure, allocated to the pool for each pre-commencement period in accordance with sub-paragraph (3), and

(b) the company’s pre-commencement supplement, allocated to the pool for each pre-commencement period in accordance with sub-paragraph (4).

(3) To allocate qualifying E&A expenditure to the pool for any pre-commencement period, take the following steps—

(a) Step 1: count as eligible expenditure for that period so much of the qualifying E&A expenditure mentioned in paragraph 9(1)(b) as was incurred in that period,

(b) Step 2: find the total of all the eligible expenditure for that period (amount E),

(d) Step 4: if paragraph 12 applies, reduce (or, as the case may be, further reduce) amount E in accordance with that paragraph,

and so much of amount E as remains after making those reductions shall be taken to have been added to the pool in that period.

(4) If any pre-commencement supplement is allowed on a claim in respect of a pre-commencement period, the amount of that supplement shall be taken to have been added to the pool in that period.

11

(1) This paragraph applies in any case where—

(a) the qualifying company disposes of an interest in an oil licence in a pre-commencement period,

(b) part of the value of the interest (the “deductible amount”) is attributable to qualifying E&A expenditure incurred by the company, and

(c) section 555 of the Capital Allowances Act (disposal of oil licence with exploitation value) has effect in relation to the disposal.

(2) For the purpose of allocating qualifying E&A expenditure to the pool for each pre-commencement period—

(a) find the total of the deductible amounts in the case of all such disposals made by the company (amount D), and

(b) taking later periods before earlier periods, reduce (but not below nil) amount E for any pre-commencement period by setting against it so much of amount D as does not fall to be set against amount E for a later pre-commencement period.

(3) In this paragraph “oil licence” has the same meaning as in section 555 of the Capital Allowances Act (see section 552 (1) of that Act).

12

(1) This paragraph applies if there is an amount of unrelieved group ring fence profits for a pre-commencement period.

(2) For the purpose of allocating qualifying E&A expenditure to the pool for that period—

(a) find so much (if any) of amount E for that period as remains after any reduction falling to be made under paragraph 11, and

(b) reduce that amount (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the aggregate of the amounts of unrelieved group ring fence profits for the period.

13

For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, the reference amount for a pre-commencement period is the amount in the pool at the end of the period—

(a) after the addition to the pool of any qualifying E&A expenditure allocated to the pool for that period in accordance with paragraph 10(3), but

(b) before determining, and adding to the pool, the amount of any pre-commencement supplement claimed in respect of the period.

14

(1) Any claim for pre-commencement supplement in respect of a pre-commencement period must be made at the same time as, and as if it were part of, the claim under section 441 of the Capital Allowances Act mentioned in paragraph 9(1)(a).

Part 4 — Post-commencement supplement

Tax year

15

(1) A qualifying company which incurs a qualifying E&A loss (see paragraph 17) in a post-commencement period may claim supplement under this Part of this Schedule (“post-commencement supplement”) in respect of—

(a) that period, or

(b) any subsequent accounting period in which it carries on its ring fence trade.

(2) Any post-commencement supplement allowed on a claim in respect of a post-commencement period shall be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts (other than this Part of this Schedule or sections 321 to 329 of CTA 2010) as if it were a loss—

(a) incurred in carrying on the ring fence trade in that period,

(b) which falls in whole to be set off under section 393 against trading income from the ring fence trade in succeeding accounting periods.

(3) Paragraph 74 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (company tax returns etc: time limit for claims for group relief) shall apply in relation to a claim for post-commencement supplement as it applies in relation to a claim for group relief.

16

(1) The amount of the post-commencement supplement for any post-commencement period in respect of which a claim under paragraph 15 is made is the relevant percentage for that period of the reference amount for that period.

(2) If the post-commencement period is a period of less than twelve months, the amount of the supplement for the period (apart from this sub-paragraph) shall be reduced proportionally.

(2A) But, if the post-commencement period is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) ending before 1st January 2006, sub-paragraph (2) has no effect in relation to the amount of the supplement for that period.

(3) Paragraphs 19 to 24 have effect for the purpose of determining the reference amount for a post-commencement period.

17

(1) Where—

(a) in any post-commencement period (“the period of the loss”) a qualifying company carrying on a ring fence trade incurs a loss in the trade, and

(b) some or all of the loss falls to be set off under section 393 against trading income from the trade in succeeding accounting periods,

so much of the loss as falls to be so set off is a “ring fence loss” of the company.

(2) In determining for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule how much of a loss incurred in a ring fence trade falls to be set off as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), it shall be assumed—

(a) that every claim is made that could be made by the company under section 393A to set losses incurred in the ring fence trade against ring fence profits of earlier post-commencement periods, and

(b) that (where appropriate) section 393B applies in relation to every such claim.

(3) So much of a ring fence loss as is attributable to qualifying E&A allowances for the period of the loss is a “qualifying E&A loss”.

(4) A ring fence loss is attributable to qualifying E&A allowances to the extent that the amount of the ring fence loss does not exceed the amount of the qualifying E&A allowances for the period of the loss.

(5) But a claim for post-commencement supplement may include an election for a ring fence loss to be treated—

(a) as attributable to qualifying E&A allowances for the period of the loss to such lesser extent as may be specified in the election, or

(b) as not attributable to such allowances.

(6) “Qualifying E&A allowances”, in the case of an accounting period, means allowances for that period under Part 6 of the Capital Allowances Act in respect of qualifying E&A expenditure incurred by the company (including any pre-commencement supplement treated under paragraph 9(2) as such an allowance).

(7) This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.

18

(1) So much of a ring fence loss as is not a qualifying E&A loss is a non-qualifying loss.

(2) Where—

(a) a loss was incurred by a qualifying company in its ring fence trade in an accounting period ending on or before 31st December 2003, and

(b) some or all of that loss falls to be set off under section 393 against profits of that trade in accounting periods ending on or after that date,

so much of the loss as falls to be so set off is a ring fence loss and that loss is a non-qualifying loss.

(3) This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.

18A

(1) This paragraph applies in any case where the period of the loss in which a ring fence loss is incurred is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) ending before 1st January 2006.

(2) The following assumption shall be made for the purpose of calculating the amount of the qualifying E&A loss and the amount of the non-qualifying loss.

(3) The assumption is that the loss made in the trade is taken to be the loss incurred in the accounting period beginning before 1st January 2006 and ending on or after that date (disregarding paragraph 3(3)).

(4) The amount of the non-qualifying loss (found in accordance with that assumption) is then reduced (but not below nil) by the following amount.

(5) The amount is the amount of the ring fence loss in the deemed accounting period beginning on 1st January 2006 determined under section 324 of CTA 2010.

Employment

19

(1) For the purpose of determining the amount of any post-commencement supplement, a qualifying company shall be taken at all times in its post-commencement periods to have—

(a) a continuing pool of the company’s non-qualifying losses (the “non-qualifying pool”), and

(b) a continuing mixed pool of the company’s qualifying E&A losses and post-commencement supplement (the “qualifying pool”).

(2) A pool continues even if the amount in it is nil.

20

(1) The non-qualifying pool consists of the company’s non-qualifying losses, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2).

(2) A non-qualifying loss is allocated to the pool by adding the amount of the non-qualifying loss to the pool in the period of the loss.

(3) In the case of a non-qualifying loss incurred in an accounting period ending on or before 31st December 2003, the period of the loss shall be taken for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) to be the first accounting period of the company that ends on or after 1st January 2004.

(4) The amount in the non-qualifying pool is subject to reductions in accordance with the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

(5) Where a reduction in the amount in the non-qualifying pool falls to be made in any accounting period—

(a) the reduction is to be made after the addition to the pool of any non-qualifying loss allocated to the pool in that period in accordance with sub-paragraph (2), and

(b) references to the amount in the non-qualifying pool shall be construed accordingly.

21

(1) The qualifying pool consists of—

(a) the company’s qualifying E&A losses, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(a), and

(b) the company’s post-commencement supplement, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(b).

(2) The allocation of qualifying E&A losses and post-commencement supplement to the pool is as follows—

(a) the amount of a qualifying E&A loss is added to the pool in the period of the loss, and

(b) if any post-commencement supplement is allowed on a claim in respect of a post-commencement period, the amount of that supplement is added to the pool in that period.

(3) The amount in the qualifying pool is subject to reductions in accordance with the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

(4) Where a reduction in the amount in the qualifying pool falls to be made in any accounting period, the reduction is to be made—

(a) after the addition to the pool of the amount of any qualifying E&A losses allocated to the pool in that period in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(a), but

(b) before determining, and adding to the pool, the amount of any supplement claimed in respect of the period,

and references to the amount in the pool shall be construed accordingly.

22

(1) If one or more ring fence losses are set off under section 393 against any profits of a post-commencement period, reductions shall be made in that period in accordance with this paragraph.

(2) The amount in the non-qualifying pool shall be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the total amount so set off.

(3) If any of that sum remains after being so set against the amount in the non-qualifying pool, the amount in the qualifying pool shall be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it so much of that sum as so remains.

(4) If the post-commencement period is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) ending before 1st January 2006 (“the deemed accounting period”), the amount of the profits of the deemed accounting period is determined as follows.

(5) The amount of the profits of the straddling period is apportioned to the deemed accounting period in proportion to the number of days in the deemed accounting period that fall in the straddling period.

(6) The apportioned amount is taken for the purposes of this paragraph to be the amount of the profits of the deemed accounting period.

(7) In this paragraph “the straddling period”, in relation to a qualifying company, means an accounting period of the company beginning before 1st January 2006 and ending on or after that date (disregarding paragraph 3(3)).

23

(1) If there is an amount of unrelieved group ring fence profits for a post-commencement period, reductions shall be made in that period in accordance with this paragraph.

(2) In the following provisions of this paragraph, references to the remaining amount in a pool are references to so much (if any) of the amount in the pool as remains after making any reductions that fall to be made in accordance with paragraph 22.

(3) The remaining amount in the non-qualifying pool shall be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the aggregate of the amounts of unrelieved group ring fence profits for the period.

(4) If any of that sum remains after being so set against the remaining amount in the non-qualifying pool, the remaining amount in the qualifying pool shall be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it so much of that sum as so remains.

24

For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule the reference amount for a post-commencement period is so much of the amount in the qualifying pool as remains after making any reductions required by paragraph 22 or 23.

The mixed pool of qualifying pre-commencement expenditure and supplement previously allowed

10

(1) For the purpose of determining the amount of any pre-commencement supplement, a qualifying company is to be taken to have had, at all times in the pre-commencement periods of the company, a continuing mixed pool of—

(a) the relevant amount (if any) which the company carries forward under Schedule 19B,

(b) qualifying pre-commencement expenditure, and

(2) The pool is to be taken to have consisted of—

(a) the relevant amount (if any) which the company carries forward under Schedule 19B,

(b) the company's qualifying pre-commencement expenditure, allocated to the pool for each pre-commencement period in accordance with sub-paragraph (3), and

(c) the company's pre-commencement supplement, allocated to the pool for each pre-commencement period in accordance with sub-paragraph (4).

(3) To allocate qualifying pre-commencement expenditure to the pool for any pre-commencement period, take the following steps—

(a) Step 1: count as eligible expenditure for that period so much of the qualifying pre-commencement expenditure mentioned in paragraph 9(1) as was incurred in that period,

(b) Step 2: find the total of all the eligible expenditure for that period (amount E),

(d) Step 4: if paragraph 12 applies, reduce (or, as the case may be, further reduce) amount E in accordance with that paragraph,

and so much of amount E as remains after making those reductions is to be taken to have been added to the pool in that period.

(4) If any pre-commencement supplement is allowed on a claim in respect of a pre-commencement period, the amount of that supplement is to be taken to have been added to the pool in that period.

(5) In this paragraph references to the relevant amount (if any) which the company carries forward under Schedule 19B are to the amount in its mixed pool for the purposes of Part 3 of Schedule 19B immediately before 1st January 2006.

Reduction in respect of disposal receipts under the Capital Allowances Act

11

(1) This paragraph applies in the case of the qualifying company if—

(a) it incurs qualifying pre-commencement expenditure in respect of a ring fence trade in any pre-commencement period,

(b) it would, on the relevant assumption, be entitled to an allowance under any provision of the Capital Allowances Act in respect of that expenditure,

(d) the event would, on the relevant assumption, require a disposal value (the “deductible amount”) to be brought into account under any provision of the Capital Allowances Act for any pre-commencement period.

(2) The relevant assumption is that the company was carrying on the ring fence trade—

(a) when the expenditure was incurred, and

(b) when the event giving rise to the disposal value occurred.

(3) For the purpose of allocating qualifying pre-commencement expenditure to the pool for each pre-commencement period—

(a) find the total amount of the disposal values in the case of all such events (amount D), and

(b) taking later periods before earlier periods, reduce (but not below nil) amount E for any pre-commencement period by setting against it so much of amount D as does not fall to be set against amount E for a later pre-commencement period.

Reduction in respect of unrelieved group ring fence profits

12

(1) This paragraph applies if there is an amount of unrelieved group ring fence profits for a pre-commencement period.

(2) For the purpose of allocating qualifying pre-commencement expenditure to the pool for that period—

(a) find so much (if any) of amount E for that period as remains after any reduction falling to be made under paragraph 11, and

(b) reduce that amount (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the aggregate of the amounts of unrelieved group ring fence profits for the period.

The reference amount for a pre-commencement period

13

For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, the reference amount for a pre-commencement period is the amount in the pool at the end of the period—

(a) after the addition to the pool of any qualifying pre-commencement expenditure allocated to the pool for that period in accordance with paragraph 10(3), but

(b) before determining, and adding to the pool, the amount of any pre-commencement supplement claimed in respect of the period.

Claims for pre-commencement supplement

14

(1) Any claim for pre-commencement supplement in respect of a pre-commencement period must be made as a claim for the commencement period.

(2) Paragraph 74 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (company tax returns etc: time limit for claims for group relief) applies in relation to a claim for pre-commencement supplement as it applies in relation to a claim for group relief.

Part 4 — Post-commencement supplement

Supplement in respect of a post-commencement period

15

(1) A qualifying company which incurs a ring fence loss (see paragraph 17) in a post-commencement period may claim supplement under this Part of this Schedule (“post-commencement supplement”) in respect of—

(a) that period, or

(b) any subsequent accounting period in which it carries on its ring fence trade.

(2) Any post-commencement supplement allowed on a claim in respect of a post-commencement period is to be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts (other than this Part of this Schedule or Part 4 of Schedule 19B) as if it were a loss—

(a) which is incurred in carrying on the ring fence trade in that period, and

(b) which falls in whole to be set off under section 393 against trading income from the ring fence trade in succeeding accounting periods.

(3) Paragraph 74 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (company tax returns etc: time limit for claims for group relief) applies in relation to a claim for post-commencement supplement as it applies in relation to a claim for group relief.

Amount of post-commencement supplement for a post-commencement period

16

(1) The amount of the post-commencement supplement for any post-commencement period in respect of which a claim under paragraph 15 is made is the relevant percentage for that period of the reference amount for that period.

(2) If the post-commencement period is a period of less than twelve months, the amount of the supplement for the period (apart from this sub-paragraph) is to be reduced proportionally.

(3) Paragraphs 19 to 23 have effect for the purpose of determining the reference amount for a post-commencement period.

Ring fence losses

17

(1) If—

(a) in any post-commencement period (“the period of the loss”) a qualifying company carrying on a ring fence trade incurs a loss in the trade, and

(b) some or all of the loss falls to be set off under section 393 against trading income from the trade in succeeding accounting periods,

so much of the loss as falls to be so set off is a “ring fence loss” of the company.

(2) In determining for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule how much of a loss incurred in a ring fence trade falls to be set off as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), the following assumptions are to be made.

(3) The first assumption is that every claim is made that could be made by the company under section 393A to set losses incurred in the ring fence trade against ring fence profits of earlier post-commencement periods.

(3A) The second assumption is that (where appropriate) section 393B applies in relation to every such claim under section 393A.

(4) This paragraph is subject to paragraph 18 (special rule for straddling periods).

(5) This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.

Special rule for straddling periods

18

(1) This paragraph applies if the period of the loss in which a ring fence loss is incurred is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) beginning on 1st January 2006 (“the deemed accounting period”).

(2) The amount of the ring fence loss in the deemed accounting period is determined as follows.

Step 1

Calculate so much of the ring fence loss in the straddling period as, for the purposes of Part 4 of Schedule 19B, is attributable to qualifying E&A allowances for the straddling period.

The amount given by this step is “the qualifying Schedule 19B amount”.

Step 2

Calculate so much of the ring fence loss in the straddling period as is attributable to allowances for the straddling period under Part 6 of the Capital Allowances Act in respect of relevant expenditure.

For the purposes of this step “relevant expenditure” means expenditure incurred by the company on or after 1st January 2006 which, but for that fact, would be qualifying E&A expenditure for the purposes of Schedule 19B.

For the purposes of this step a ring fence loss is attributable to those allowances to the extent that the amount of the loss (less the qualifying Schedule 19B amount) does not exceed the amount of those allowances for that period.

The amount given by this step is “the amount of the post-1st January 2006 E&A allowances”.

Step 3

Deduct the qualifying Schedule 19B amount and the amount of the post-1st January 2006 E&A allowances from the amount of the ring fence loss in the straddling period.

Step 4

Apportion the remaining amount of that loss (if any) to the deemed accounting period in proportion to the number of days in the deemed accounting period that fall in the straddling period.

The amount given by this step is “the amount of the apportioned loss”.

Step 5

The amount of the ring fence loss in the deemed accounting period is the amount of the apportioned loss plus the amount of the post-1st January 2006 E&A allowances.

(3) In this paragraph “the straddling period”, in relation to a qualifying company, means an accounting period of the company—

(a) beginning before 1st January 2006, and

(b) ending on or after that date,

disregarding paragraph 3(3).

(4) In this paragraph references to the ring fence loss in the straddling period are to that loss determined on the assumption that the straddling period is the period of the loss for the purposes of paragraph 17.

(5) This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.

The pool of ring fence losses and the pool of non-qualifying Schedule 19B losses

19

(1) For the purpose of determining the amount of any post-commencement supplement, a qualifying company is to be taken at all times in its post-commencement periods to have a continuing mixed pool (the “ring fence pool”) of—

(a) the carried forward qualifying Schedule 19B amount,

(b) the company's ring fence losses, and

(2) The ring fence pool continues even if the amount in it is nil.

(3) For the purpose of determining the amount of any post-commencement supplement, a qualifying company is also to be taken in its post-commencement periods to have a non-qualifying pool consisting of the carried forward non-qualifying Schedule 19B amount.

(4) But the non-qualifying pool ceases to exist when the amount in it is reduced to nil.

(5) In this paragraph—

“the carried forward qualifying Schedule 19B amount”, in relation to a qualifying company, means the amount in its qualifying pool for the purposes of Part 4 of Schedule 19B immediately before 1st January 2006, and

“the carried forward non-qualifying Schedule 19B amount”, in relation to a qualifying company, means the amount in its non-qualifying pool for the purposes of Part 4 of Schedule 19B immediately before 1st January 2006.

The ring fence pool

20

(1) The ring fence pool consists of—

(a) the carried forward qualifying Schedule 19B amount,

(b) the company's ring fence losses, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(a), and

(2) The allocation of ring fence losses and post-commencement supplement to the pool is as follows—

(a) the amount of a ring fence loss is added to the pool in the period of the loss, and

(b) if any post-commencement supplement is allowed on a claim in respect of a post-commencement period, the amount of that supplement is added to the pool in that period.

(3) The amount in the ring fence pool is subject to reductions in accordance with the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

(4) If a reduction in the amount in the ring fence pool falls to be made in any accounting period, the reduction is to be made—

(a) after the addition to the pool of the amount of any ring fence losses allocated to the pool in that period in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(a), but

(b) before determining, and adding to the pool, the amount of any supplement claimed in respect of the period,

and references to the amount in the pool are to be read accordingly.

(5) In this paragraph “the carried forward qualifying Schedule 19B amount”, in relation to a qualifying company, means the amount in its qualifying pool for the purposes of Part 4 of Schedule 19B immediately before 1st January 2006.

Reductions in respect of utilised ring fence losses

21

(1) If one or more ring fence losses are set off under section 393 against any profits of a post-commencement period, reductions are to be made in that period in accordance with this paragraph.

(2) If the company has a non-qualifying pool, the amount in the non-qualifying pool is to be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the total amount so set off.

(3) If—

(a) any of that sum remains after being so set against the amount in the non-qualifying pool, or

(b) the company does not have a non-qualifying pool,

the amount in the ring fence pool is to be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it so much of that sum as so remains or (as the case may be) a sum equal to the total amount set off as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).

(4) If the post-commencement period is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) beginning on 1st January 2006 (“the deemed accounting period”), the amount of the profits of the deemed accounting period is determined as follows.

(5) The amount of the profits of the straddling period is apportioned to the deemed accounting period in proportion to the number of days in the deemed accounting period that fall in the straddling period.

(6) The apportioned amount is taken for the purposes of this paragraph to be the amount of the profits of the deemed accounting period.

(7) In this paragraph “the straddling period”, in relation to a qualifying company, means an accounting period of the company—

(a) beginning before 1st January 2006, and

(b) ending on or after that date,

disregarding paragraph 3(3).

Reductions in respect of unrelieved group ring fence profits

22

(1) If there is an amount of unrelieved group ring fence profits for a post-commencement period, reductions are to be made in that period in accordance with this paragraph.

(2) If, after making any reductions that fall to be made in accordance with paragraph 21, the company does not have a non-qualifying pool, the remaining amount in the ring fence pool is to be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the aggregate of the amounts of unrelieved group ring fence profits for the period.

(3) If, after making any reductions that fall to be made in accordance with paragraph 21, the company has an amount in a non-qualifying pool, the amount in that pool is to be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it a sum equal to the aggregate of the amounts of unrelieved group ring fence profits for the period.

(4) If any of that sum remains after being so set against the amount in the non-qualifying pool, the remaining amount in the ring fence pool is to be reduced (but not below nil) by setting against it so much of that sum as so remains.

(5) For the purposes of this paragraph references to the remaining amount in the ring fence pool are references to so much (if any) of the amount in the ring fence pool as remains after making any reductions that fall to be made in accordance with paragraph 21.

The reference amount for a post-commencement period

23

For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule the reference amount for a post-commencement period is so much of the amount in the ring fence pool as remains after making any reductions required by paragraph 21 or 22.

3A

Any investment in a common deposit fund established under section 22A of the Charities Act 1960 or section 25 of the Charities Act 1993 or in any similar fund established for the exclusive benefit of charities by or under any enactment relating to any particular charities or class of charities.

(a) relief is to be given under section 454 of ITTOIA 2005 (listed deeply discounted securities held since 26th March 2003: relief for losses) in respect of a loss sustained on the disposal of securities, and

(b) had there been a profit on the disposal it would have been eligible for relief from tax for the year of assessment in which the loss is sustained by virtue of section 592(2).

(2) That relief is to be given before the calculation under paragraph 7 above is made.

(3) Then the amount of income to which the specified percentage is applied by virtue of sub-paragraph (3)(a) of that paragraph is reduced by the amount of that relief.

(4) In this paragraph “disposal” has the same meaning as in Chapter 8 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005.

Manufactured dividends on UK equities: general

2

(1) This paragraph applies in any case where, under a contract or other arrangements for the transfer of United Kingdom equities, one of the parties (a “dividend manufacturer”) is required to pay to the other (“the recipient”) an amount (a “manufactured dividend”) which is representative of a dividend on the equities.

(1A) Sub-paragraphs (1C) to (1E) apply where—

(a) a manufactured dividend is paid by a dividend manufacturer, and

(b) is received by a person other than the dividend manufacturer, and would have been so referable by virtue of section 432A if it had it been received by the dividend manufacturer.

(2) Where a manufactured dividend is paid by a dividend manufacturer who is a company resident in the United Kingdom, the Corporation Tax Acts shall have effect—

(a) in relation to the recipient, and persons claiming title through or under him, as if the manufactured dividend were a dividend on the UK equities in question; . . .

(1) This paragraph applies in any case where, under a contract or other arrangements for the transfer of overseas securities, one of the parties (the “overseas dividend manufacturer”) is required to pay to the other (“the recipient”) an amount representative of an overseas dividend on the overseas securities; and in this Schedule the “manufactured overseas dividend” means any payment which the overseas dividend manufacturer makes in discharge of that requirement.

(1A) Sub-paragraphs (1C) to (1E) apply where the overseas dividend of which the manufactured overseas dividend is representative is taxable.

(1B) For this purpose an overseas dividend is “taxable” if—

(a) it is received by the overseas dividend manufacturer and the charge to corporation tax on income applies to it, or

(b) it is received by a person other than the overseas dividend manufacturer and the charge to corporation tax on income would have applied to it if it had been received by the overseas dividend manufacturer.

(1C) Where the overseas dividend manufacturer carries on a trade to which the manufactured overseas dividend relates, and neither sub-paragraph (1D) nor (1E) applies, the manufactured overseas dividend is to be treated as an expense of the trade.

(1D) Where the overseas dividend manufacturer has investment business to which the manufactured overseas dividend relates, the manufactured overseas dividend is to be treated as expenses of management of the business for the purposes of Part 16 of CTA 2009.

(1E) Where the overseas dividend manufacturer carries on life assurance business to which the manufactured overseas dividend relates, the manufactured overseas dividend is to be treated as if, to the extent that it is referable to basic life assurance and general annuity business, it were an expense payable falling to be brought into account at step 3 of section 76(7).

(1F) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1E), the manufactured overseas dividend is to be treated as referable to basic life assurance and general annuity business to the extent that the overseas dividend of which it is representative—

(a) is received by the overseas dividend manufacturer and is so referable by virtue of section 432A, or
