 Clawback of provisional relief

 

(1)    

If a statement is made under section 1217N(2) but it subsequently

 

appears that the EEA expenditure condition will not be met on the

 

company’s ceasing to carry on the separate theatrical trade, the

 

company—

 

(a)    

is not entitled to relief under any of the relieving provisions

 

for any period for which its entitlement depended on such a

 

statement, and

 

(b)    

must amend its company tax return for any such period

 

accordingly.

 

(2)    

When a company which has made a claim under section 1217H ceases

 

to carry on the separate theatrical trade, the company’s company tax

theatrical trade, and

 

(b)    

be accompanied by a final statement of the amount of the core

 

expenditure on the theatrical production that is EEA

met—

the company is not entitled to relief under any of the relieving

 

provisions for any period,

 

(b)    

the company is treated for corporation tax purposes as if

 

section 1217H(3)(a) (treatment as a separate trade) did not

 

apply in relation to the theatrical production for any period,

 

and

 

(c)    

accordingly, sections 1217MA and 1217MB (provisions

 

about use of losses) do not apply in relation to the theatrical

 

production for any period.

 

(4)    

Where subsection (3) applies, the company must amend its company

 

tax return for any period in which (or in any part of which) it was

 

treated as carrying on a separate trade relating to the theatrical

 

production.

 

(5)    

Any amendment or assessment necessary to give effect to this section

 

may be made despite any limitation on the time within which an

 

amendment or assessment may normally be made.
