71A Circumstances in which section 71B applies

(1) 25Section 71B has effect in relation to an accounting period of a company
resident in the United Kingdom which has an overseas permanent
establishment (“the PE”) if, in that or any earlier accounting period,
condition A or B is met.

(2) Condition A is met in relation to an accounting period if, for the
30purposes of any tax chargeable under the law of the PE territory—

(a) a loss or other amount attributable to the PE is deducted from
or otherwise allowed against amounts of any person other than
the company, and

(b) as a result, there is a decrease in the tax chargeable in respect of
35a foreign taxable period ending in the accounting period.

(3) Condition B is met in relation to an accounting period if—

(a) tax is chargeable under the law of the PE territory in respect of
the aggregate profits, or aggregate profits or gains, of the PE
and persons other than the company,

(b) 40a loss or other amount attributable to the PE is deducted from
or otherwise allowed against, or is brought into account as a

deduction or other allowance in calculating, amounts other
than amounts of the PE, and

(c) as a result, there is a decrease in the tax chargeable in respect of
a foreign taxable period ending in the accounting period.

(4) 5In this section—

• “foreign taxable period” means any period in respect of which the
  tax in question is chargeable under the law of the PE territory,
  and

• “the PE territory” means the territory in which the PE is situated.

71B 10Reduction of foreign tax paid on profits of overseas PE

(1) For the purposes of allowing credit relief under this Part, the amount of
foreign tax paid in respect of the company’s qualifying income from the
PE in the accounting period is reduced (but not below nil) by the
relevant amount for that period.

(2) 15In calculating any amount chargeable to corporation tax, any deduction
for an amount of foreign tax paid in respect of the company’s
qualifying income from the PE in the accounting period is reduced (but
not below nil) by the relevant amount for that period.

(3) In this section “the relevant amount” for the accounting period means

accounting period is one in relation to which condition A or B
in section 71A is met), and

(b) 25any excess tax carried forward to the accounting period.

(4) For this purpose excess tax is carried forward to the accounting period
so far as the relevant amount for the previous accounting period
exceeds the amount of foreign tax paid in respect of the company’s
qualifying income from the PE in that previous period.

(5) 30In determining the relevant amount, a deduction or allowance of the
kind referred to in condition A or B in section 71A is to be ignored if it
results in a deduction or other allowance that is reduced under section
259JC (counteraction where mismatch arises because of a relevant
multinational and the UK is the parent jurisdiction).

(6) 35If, for any accounting period, it becomes necessary for the relevant
amount to be reduced or increased, an adjustment may be made
(whether or not by an officer of Revenue and Customs)—

(a) by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment,
amendment or disallowance of a claim, or otherwise, and

(b) 40despite any time limit imposed by or under any enactment.

(7) In this section “the company’s qualifying income from the PE” means
the profits of the PE which are profits chargeable under Chapter 2 of

on profits of overseas permanent establishment),”.”

(5) 5Section 71B of TIOPA 2010 has effect in relation to accounting periods
beginning on or after 22 November 2017.

(6) For the purposes of sections 71A and 71B of TIOPA 2010, if a company has an
accounting period beginning before, and ending on or after, that date (“the
straddling period”)—

(a) 10so much of the straddling period as falls before that date, and so much
of it as falls on or after that date, are treated as separate accounting
periods, and

(b) any amounts brought into account for the purposes of calculating the
credit relief of the company for the straddling period are apportioned
15to the two separate accounting periods—

(i) in accordance with section 1172 of CTA 2010 (time basis), or

(ii) if that method would produce a result that is unjust or
unreasonable, on a just and reasonable basis.

(7) In determining whether or not section 71B of TIOPA has effect in relation to an
20accounting period of a company—

(a) it is to be assumed that the amendments made by this section were in
force in relation to all previous accounting periods of the company
except those beginning before 22 November 2011, and
