mismatch scheme.

(2) No scheme loss or profit made by the company in any accounting

30debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan

(b) accordingly, may not be brought into account for any other
40corporation tax purposes as respects that matter.

Finance (No. 2) BillPage 305

938P Meaning of “tax mismatch scheme”

(1) A scheme is a tax mismatch scheme if condition A or B is met.

(2) Condition A is that, at the time the scheme is entered into, there is no
practical likelihood that the scheme will fail to secure a relevant tax
5advantage of £2 million or more.

(3) The Treasury may by order substitute a higher amount for the
amount for the time being specified in subsection (2).

(4) Any such substitution is to have effect in relation to schemes entered
into on or after the day on which the order comes into force.

(5) 10Condition B is that—

(a) the purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the company in
entering into the scheme is to obtain the chance of securing a
relevant tax advantage (of any amount), and

(b) at the time the scheme is entered into—

(i) 15there is no chance that the scheme will secure a
relevant tax disadvantage, or

(ii) there is such a chance, but the expected value of the
scheme is nevertheless a positive amount.

(6) If, at the time the company enters into the scheme, there are chances
20that the scheme would, if carried out, secure different relevant tax
advantages or disadvantages in different circumstances, the
amounts and probabilities of each must be taken into account in
determining the expected value of the scheme.

(7) In determining whether condition A or B is met, it is to be assumed
25that the parties to the scheme carry it out.

(8) Where, at the time the scheme is entered into, the length of the
scheme period is uncertain, condition A or B is met if it would be met
on any reasonable assumption as to the length of the scheme period.

(9) In determining whether condition A or B is met, section 938O
30(scheme profits and losses to be left out of account) is to be
disregarded.

938Q Meaning of “scheme loss” and “scheme profit”

(1) A loss or profit made by a company in an accounting period is a
“scheme loss” or “scheme profit” in relation to a tax mismatch
35scheme if the loss or profit—

(a) arises from a transaction, or series of transactions, that forms
part of the scheme,

(b) is, or is comprised in, an amount that is brought into account
as a debit or credit for the purposes of Part 5 or 7 of CTA 2009,
40and

(c) meets the first or second asymmetry condition.

(2) The first asymmetry condition is that the loss or profit affects the
amount of any relevant tax advantage secured by the scheme.

(3) Where, at the end of the accounting period—

Finance (No. 2) BillPage 306

(a) it is not certain whether the scheme will secure a relevant tax
advantage, or

(b) it is not certain what the amount of the relevant tax
advantage secured by the scheme will be,

5a loss or profit is to be treated as meeting the first asymmetry
condition if, at that time, there is a chance that the scheme will secure
a relevant tax advantage and that the loss or profit will affect its
amount.

(4) Where—

(a) 10a loss or profit meets the conditions in subsection (1)(a) and
(b), and

(b) a part, but not the whole, of the loss or profit meets the first
asymmetry condition,

only that part of the loss or profit is a “scheme loss” or “scheme
15profit”.

(5) The second asymmetry condition is that the loss or profit—

(a) does not meet the first asymmetry condition, but

(b) arises from a transaction, or series of transactions, that might
(if events had turned out differently) have given rise to a loss
20or profit that would have done so.

(6) References in this section to a loss or profit include a loss or profit
arising in respect of interest or expenses.

(7) In determining whether the condition in subsection (1)(b) or the first
or second asymmetry condition is met, section 938O (scheme profits
25and losses to be left out of account) is to be disregarded.

938R Meaning of “relevant tax advantage” etc and “the scheme period”

(1) In this Part “relevant tax advantage”, in relation to a scheme, means

(2) In this Part “relevant tax disadvantage”, in relation to a scheme,
means an economic loss that—

(a) is made by the company over the scheme period,

(b) 35meets the condition in subsection (3), and

(c) is not negligible.

(3) The condition is that the economic profit or loss arises as a result of
asymmetries in the way that the company brings, or does not bring,
amounts into account as debits and credits for the purposes of Part 5
40or 7 of CTA 2009.

(4) A reference in this section to asymmetries includes, in particular—

(a) asymmetries relating to quantification, and

Part taking into account, in particular—

Corporation Tax Acts, and

(b) 10any adjustments required to reflect the time value of money.

(2) In determining for the purposes of this Part the amount of an
economic profit or loss made by the company over the scheme
period, profits and losses made by the company are to be taken into
account only to the extent that they are attributable to times at which
15the company is a party to the scheme.

938T Tax capacity assumption

(1) This section applies for the purpose of determining whether a
scheme will, or might, secure a relevant tax advantage.

(2) The economic profits and losses made by the company over the
20scheme period must be calculated on the assumption that the
company—

(a) obtains the full tax benefit of any loss made by the company
in relation to a loan relationship or a derivative contract
during the period, and

(b) 25incurs the full tax cost of any profit made by the company in
relation to a loan relationship or a derivative contract during
the period.

(3) The “full tax benefit” of a loss is the reduction in the liability of the
company to corporation tax that would result if—

(a) 30the loss were brought into account as a debit or as a reduction
in a credit for the purposes of Part 5 or 7 of CTA 2009, and

(b) the company’s profits chargeable to corporation tax,
disregarding the loss, were equal to the debit (or the
reduction in the credit) determined by reference to the loss.

(4) 35The “full tax cost” of a profit is the increase in the liability of the
company to corporation tax that would result if—

(a) the profit were brought into account as a credit or as a
reduction in a debit for the purposes of Part 5 or 7 of CTA
2009, and
