Finance Act 2007
Income tax is charged for the tax year 2007-08; and for that tax year—
the starting rate is 10%,
the basic rate is 22%, and
the higher rate is 40%.
Corporation tax is charged for the financial year 2008; and for that year the rate of corporation tax is—
28% on profits of companies other than ring fence profits, and
30% on ring fence profits of companies.
In this section “ring fence profits” has the same meaning as in Chapter 5 of Part 12 of ICTA (see section 502(1) and (1A)).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
For the financial year 2007 the small companies' rate is—
20% on profits of companies other than ring fence profits, and
19% on ring fence profits of companies.
For the financial year 2007 the fraction mentioned in section 13(2) of ICTA is—
1/40th in relation to profits of companies other than ring fence profits (“the standard fraction”), and
11/400ths in relation to ring fence profits of companies (“the ring fence fraction”).
If— that subsection applies with the following modification.
a company makes a claim under subsection (2) of section 13 of ICTA in respect of any accounting period any part of which falls in the financial year 2007, and
its profits for that accounting period consist of both ring fence profits and other profits,
The corporation tax charged on its basic profits for that period is reduced by the aggregate of—
the sum equal to the ring fence fraction of the ring fence amount, and
the sum equal to the standard fraction of the remaining amount.
For the purposes of subsection (4)(a) “the ring fence amount” is the amount given by the formula— where— MR is the sum equal to the appropriate fraction of the upper relevant maximum amount, PR is so much of the profits for the accounting period as consist of ring fence profits, and IR is so much of the basic profits for that period as consist of ring fence profits, and the appropriate fraction is the fraction of the profits for the accounting period that consist of ring fence profits.
For the purposes of subsection (4)(b) “the remaining amount” is the amount given by the formula— where— MNR is the sum equal to the appropriate fraction of the upper relevant maximum amount, PNR is so much of the profits for the accounting period as do not consist of ring fence profits, and INR is so much of the basic profits for that period as do not consist of ring fence profits, and the appropriate fraction is the fraction of the profits for the accounting period that do not consist of ring fence profits.
In this section “ring fence profits” has the same meaning as in Chapter 5 of Part 12 of ICTA (see section 502(1) and (1A)).

But, in the case of a loss made by an individual in a trade in a tax year the basis period for which begins before 2nd March 2007 (a “straddling basis period”), the amount of that loss for the purposes of section 103C of ITA 2007 is— “The pre-announcement loss” is determined as follows. Calculate the profits or losses of the straddling basis period, but without regard to capital allowances and qualifying film expenditure (within the meaning of section 103D of ITA 2007). If that calculation produces a loss and the individual has made a contribution of an amount as capital to the firm or LLP in question— apportion the loss produced by that calculation to the part of the straddling basis period which begins with the relevant date and falls before 2nd March 2007 in proportion to the number of days in that part.

The pre-announcement loss is the sum of— In sub-paragraph (6) “the relevant date” means— For the purposes of this paragraph the amount of the loss of the straddling basis period that derives from relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure is determined on a just and reasonable basis. In this paragraph “relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure” means— and for this purpose “an unconditional obligation” means an obligation which may not be varied or extinguished by the exercise of any right conferred on the firm or LLP in question (whether or not under the contract). For the purposes of this paragraph— Section 62 of ITA 2007 (partners: losses of a tax year etc) applies for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 3 of Part 4 of that Act.
ITA 2007 is amended as follows.
The purpose of this Schedule is to secure that in the case of an arrangement— the charge to corporation tax in that case reflects the fact that the arrangement equates, in substance, to such a transaction. But this is not to be read as preventing the rules in this Schedule about corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains from having no effect in relation to debtor quasi-repos and creditor quasi-repos.
This paragraph applies if a company (“the borrower”)— A relevant arrangement is one in relation to which conditions C and D in paragraph 3 are met and the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is the obtaining of a tax advantage. For the purposes of the charge to corporation tax in respect of income of the borrower arising while the arrangement is in force, the Corporation Tax Acts have effect as if— But— In the case of any overseas dividend payable in respect of those securities, the entitlement of the borrower to double taxation relief in respect of that dividend is determined as if— For the purposes of this paragraph “double taxation relief” means any relief given under or as a result of Part 18 of ICTA.
For the purposes of this Schedule a company (“the lender”) has a creditor repo if conditions A to E are met. Condition A is that under an arrangement another person (“the borrower”) receives from the lender any money or other asset (“the advance”). Condition B is that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the accounts of the lender for the period in which the advance is made record a financial asset in respect of the advance. Condition C is that under the arrangement the borrower sells any securities at any time to the lender. Condition D is that the arrangement makes provision conferring a right or imposing an obligation on the lender to sell those or similar securities at any subsequent time. Condition E is that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the subsequent sale of those or similar securities would extinguish the financial asset in respect of the advance recorded in the accounts of the lender. For the purposes of conditions A to E references to the lender include a partnership of which the lender is a member.
This paragraph applies if a company (“the lender”) has a creditor repo or a creditor quasi-repo. The advance under the creditor repo or creditor quasi-repo is, in the case of the lender, to be treated for the purposes of the loan relationship rules as a money debt which— The arrangement is, in the case of the lender, to be treated for the purposes of those rules as a transaction for the lending of money from which that debt is treated as arising for those purposes. Any amount which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, is recorded in— as a finance return in respect of the advance is to be treated for those purposes as interest receivable under that debt. That interest is to be treated for those purposes as received at the earlier of— For this purpose “the relevant repurchase” means—
If a company has a creditor repo, Chapter 9 of Part 15 of ITA 2007 (deduction of income tax at source: manufactured payments) has effect in relation to the lender while the arrangement is in force as if— If a company has a debtor repo, the reverse charge provisions of Chapter 9 of Part 15 of ITA 2007 have effect in relation to the borrower while the arrangement is in force as if— If sub-paragraph (1) or (2) applies, any payment actually made under an arrangement which is representative of any income payable on any securities is to be treated for the purposes of Chapter 9 of Part 15 of ITA 2007 as if it had not been made. In this paragraph “the reverse charge provisions of Chapter 9 of Part 15 of ITA 2007” means—
Sub-paragraph (7) applies if— In that case the references in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) to the time when the member reached the age of 75 are to be read as referring to the end of the period of six months beginning with any later date on which the member’s whereabouts are subsequently ascertained by the scheme administrator.
The penalty payable under paragraph 1 is— The penalty payable under paragraph 2 is 30% of the potential lost revenue. Paragraphs 5 to 8 define “potential lost revenue”.
Where an inaccuracy has the result that a loss is wrongly recorded for purposes of direct tax and the loss has been wholly used to reduce the amount due or payable in respect of tax, the potential lost revenue is calculated in accordance with paragraph 5. Where an inaccuracy has the result that a loss is wrongly recorded for purposes of direct tax and the loss has not been wholly used to reduce the amount due or payable in respect of tax, the potential lost revenue is— Sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) apply both— Where an inaccuracy has the effect of creating or increasing an aggregate loss recorded for a group of companies— The potential lost revenue in respect of a loss is nil where, because of the nature of the loss or P’s circumstances, there is no reasonable prospect of the loss being used to support a claim to reduce a tax liability (of any person).

For the purposes of this Schedule a company (“the borrower”) has a debtor repo if conditions A to E are met. Condition A is that under an arrangement the borrower receives from another person (“the lender”) any money or other asset (“the advance”). Condition B is that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the accounts of the borrower for the period in which the advance is received record a financial liability in respect of the advance. Condition C is that under the arrangement the borrower sells any securities at any time to the lender. Condition D is that the arrangement makes provision conferring a right or imposing an obligation on the borrower to buy those or similar securities at any subsequent time. Condition E is that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the subsequent buying of those or similar securities would extinguish the financial liability in respect of the advance recorded in the accounts of the borrower. For the purposes of conditions A to E references to the borrower include a partnership of which the borrower is a member.
This paragraph applies if a company (“the borrower”) has a debtor repo or a debtor quasi-repo. The advance under the debtor repo or debtor quasi-repo is, in the case of the borrower, to be treated for the purposes of the loan relationship rules as a money debt which— The arrangement is, in the case of the borrower, to be treated for the purposes of those rules as a transaction for the lending of money from which that debt is treated as arising for those purposes.

That interest is to be treated for those purposes as paid at the earlier of— For this purpose “the relevant repurchase” means—
For the purposes of this Schedule a company (“the lender”) has a creditor quasi-repo in any case if— Condition A is that under an arrangement another person receives from the lender any money or other asset (“the advance”). Condition B is that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the accounts of the lender for the period in which the advance is made record a financial asset in respect of the advance. Condition C is that under that or any other arrangement a person sells any securities at any time to the lender or any other person. Condition D is that the arrangement or other arrangement— For this purpose any arrangement makes “other relevant provision” if it makes provision— Condition E is that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice— would extinguish the financial asset in respect of the advance recorded in the accounts of the lender. For the purposes of conditions A to E references to the lender include a partnership of which the lender is a member.
This paragraph applies if— The purchase of the securities, and the subsequent sale of those or similar securities, by the lender under the arrangement are to be ignored for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains (but see sub-paragraph (5)). If at any time after the initial purchase of the securities— the lender is to be treated for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains as acquiring the securities at that time for a consideration equal to their market value at that time. The accounting condition ceases to be met if, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the accounts of the lender for any period after the one in which the advance is made do not record a financial asset in respect of the advance (except as a result of the subsequent sale of the securities or similar securities). If sub-paragraph (3) applies because the accounting condition ceases to be met, any subsequent sale of those or similar securities by the lender under the arrangement is not to be ignored for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains as a result of this paragraph. For the purposes of this paragraph references to the lender include a partnership of which the lender is a member.
In this Schedule— For the purposes of this Schedule references to a person’s receiving any asset include the person’s obtaining directly or indirectly the value of any asset or otherwise deriving directly or indirectly any benefit from it. For the purposes of this Schedule— For the purposes of this Schedule securities are similar if they entitle their holders to— in spite of any difference in the total nominal amounts of the respective securities or in the form in which they are held or the manner in which they can be transferred. For the purposes of this Schedule it does not matter whether or not provision of any arrangement conferring a right or imposing an obligation on any person to buy any securities is subject to any conditions. For the purposes of this Schedule an arrangement is in force from the time when the securities are initially sold until the earlier of— For this purpose “the relevant repurchase” means— Any reference in this Schedule to an amount being recognised in determining a company’s profit or loss for a period is to an amount being recognised for accounting purposes— In determining for the purposes of this Schedule whether an amount is recorded as a financial asset or liability in respect of the advance it is to be assumed that the period of account in which the advance is received or made ended immediately after the receipt or making of the advance. For the purposes of paragraphs 6(4) and 11(4)— If any person does not draw up accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, this Schedule applies as if the accounts had been drawn up by the person in accordance with that practice.
