49A Limit on credit in cases involving qualifying loan relationships of
10CFCs

(1) This section applies if—

(a) a claim is made under Chapter 9 of Part 9A (controlled
foreign companies: exemptions for profits from qualifying
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

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

30where—

  • R has the same meaning as in section 42(2), and

  • S is—

    (a)

    the relevant UK company’s share of the relevant
    profit amount (see subsection (4)), or

    (b)

    35if only X% of the total amount of the loan relationship
    credits falling within subsection (1)(c) arises in the
    accounting period, X% of the relevant UK company’s
    share of the relevant profit amount.

(If the amount given by the formula above is nil, no credit is
40allowed.)

(3) The limit on credit contained in subsection (2) is in addition to the
limit given by section 42(2).

(4) Take the following steps to determine the relevant profit amount and
the relevant UK company’s share of that amount.

45Step 1

Finance (No. 2) BillPage 577

Determine the total amount of the loan relationship credits which
arise in the relevant period from loan B to the person who made loan
B.

5Step 2

Deduct from the amount determined at step 1 above the credits from
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

(b) 20any person who has made or received a loan out of which
loan B is wholly or partly funded (directly or indirectly).

(6) In this section—

(a) references to loan B do not include any part of loan B—

(i) 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.

14 (1) In Chapter 3 (miscellaneous provisions), section 112 (deduction from
35income for foreign tax (instead of credit against UK tax)) is amended as
follows.

(2) After subsection (3) insert—

(3A) Subsection (3B) applies if—

(a) the requirements of section 49A(1)(a) to (c) are met,

(b) 40amounts have been paid in respect of non-UK tax on loan
relationship credits falling within section 49A(1)(c) which
arise in an accounting period of the relevant UK company,
and

(c) apart from subsection (3B), Z would exceed
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, less

    Finance (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).

(3B) 5The total amount of the reductions under subsection (1) is to be
reduced so that Z equals
R × S.

(3) In subsection (6), for “subsection (1)” substitute “this section”.

Chapters 4 to 8 applies) in section 371CE (does Chapter 6 apply?) for
20subsections (4) and (5) substitute—

(4) The CFC is a “group treasury company” in the accounting period if,
assuming the relevant period were the accounting period—

(a) the CFC would be a group treasury company in the relevant
period in accordance with section 316(2) (group treasury
25companies), and

(b) throughout the relevant period, the requirements of section
316(3)(a) and (b) would be met in relation to the CFC as a
group treasury company.

30subsection (4)

loan within the 48 hours occurs under, or is connected (directly or

5apply because of—

(a) the loan, or

(b) any other debt which a member of the CFC group incurs (or
is expected to incur) in the United Kingdom.

(9D) This subsection applies to a loan if—

(a) 10there is an issue of shares which meets the requirements of
subsection (7)(c)(i) to (iii),

(b) the loan was made before the issue of shares but with the
expectation that it would be repaid by the member out of
funds deriving (directly or indirectly) from the issue of
15shares,

(c) the loan is repaid by the member out of such funds within the
period of 6 months beginning with the day on which the loan
was made, and
