a claim is made under Chapter 9 of Part 9A (controlled

loan relationships) in relation to an accounting period (“the
15relevant period”) of a CFC (“the creditor CFC”),
(b)
in the relevant period, the creditor CFC has a qualifying loan
relationship in relation to which another CFC is the ultimate
debtor by virtue of section 371IG(4) or (5), and
(c)
a UK resident company (“the relevant UK company”) has
20loan relationship credits which arise in the relevant period
from—
(i) loan B (see section 371IG(3)(b)), or
(ii)
loans out of which loan B is wholly or partly funded
(directly or indirectly).
(2)
25So far as any credit allowed under section 18(2) to the relevant UK
company is referable to loan relationship credits falling within
subsection (1)(c) which arise in an accounting period of the relevant
UK company, the credit must not exceed—
R × S

B.
5Step 2

the creditor CFC’s qualifying loan relationship determined at step 1
in section 371IF for the relevant period.
The result is the relevant profit amount.
10Step 3
On a just and reasonable basis, apportion the relevant profit amount
amongst all the persons falling within subsection (5) (although the
amount apportioned to a person may be nil).
The relevant UK company’s share of the relevant profit amount is the
15amount apportioned to it (and is nil if no amount is apportioned to
it).
(5)
The following persons (apart from the creditor CFC) fall within this
subsection—
(a) the person who made loan B, and

which loan A (see section 371IG(3)(a)) is not made
25and used to fund, or
(ii)
in relation to which the requirement of section
371IG(3)(c) is not met,
(b)
“loan relationship credit” means, in relation to a person, a
credit which the person has under Part 5 of CTA 2009 or
30would have were the person a UK resident company within
the charge to corporation tax, and
(c)
“loan” has the same meaning as it has in Chapter 9 of Part
9A.”

relationship credits falling within section 49A(1)(c) which
arise in an accounting period of the relevant UK company,
and
(c)

45R × S, where—
-
Z is—
(i)the total amount of any reductions under
subsection (1) for amounts paid in respect of
that non-UK tax, lessFinance (No. 2) BillPage 578
(ii)the total amount of any increases under
subsection (3) for payments made by
reference to that non-UK tax, and -
R and S have the same meaning as in section 49A(2).
