of the assets, as at the end of the chargeable period, of the foreign
permanent establishment (subject to any adjustment under

15N.”
Step 4

and liabilities.
Step 7
15Z2
(1)
This paragraph applies for the purposes of Step 2 in paragraph
4015Z1.

5For the purposes of paragraph 15Z1 and this paragraph, any
relevant provisions of Chapter 3A of Part 2 of CTA 2009 (UK

attributable to the foreign permanent establishment for

rise to D’s debt is money borrowed by the designated FPE
entity mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) from another entity,
30and
(d)
in borrowing that money the designated FPE entity was
acting as the agent or intermediary of D.

E gives rise to the termination of any arrangements
under which any liability covered by the provision
