on a date not earlier than 17th March 1987, a company which is the surrendering company for the purposes of section 92 of the Finance Act 1972 (setting of company's advance corporation tax against subsidiary's liability) paid a dividend, and
at no time in the accounting period of the surrendering company in which that dividend was paid was the surrendering company under the control of a company resident in the United Kingdom (construing "control" in accordance with section 302 of the Taxes Act), and
under subsection (1) of the said section 92 the benefit of the advance corporation tax (in this section referred to as "ACT") paid in respect of that dividend was surrendered to a subsidiary of the surrendering company, and
that ACT is not such that the restriction in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section 16 of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (ACT on distributions to associated companies etc.) applies with respect to it, and
in one or more of the accounting periods of the subsidiary beginning in the six years preceding the accounting period in which falls the date referred to in paragraph (a) above, the subsidiary has a liability to corporation tax in respect of income which consists of or includes income arising from oil extraction activities or oil rights, within the meaning of Part II of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (in this section referred to as "ring fence income"),
Where the conditions in subsection (1) above are fulfilled, the subsidiary to which the benefit of the ACT is surrendered is in the following provisions of this section referred to as a "qualifying subsidiary"; and in those provisions—
"section 85" means section 85 of the Finance Act 1972 (payments of ACT to be set against company's liability to corporation tax on its profits) and "section 92" means section 92 of that Act;
"the surrendering company" has the same meaning as in section 92;
"surrendered ACT" means ACT which, by virtue of subsection (2) of section 92, a qualifying subsidiary is treated as having paid in respect of a distribution made on a particular date; and
"the principal accounting period" means the accounting period of the qualifying subsidiary in which that date falls.
So much of subsection (3A) of section 92 as would prevent surrendered ACT being set against a qualifying subsidiary's liability to corporation tax under subsection (3) of section 85 (carry back to earlier periods) shall not apply; but the said subsection (3) shall have effect subject to the following provisions of this section.
Surrendered ACT may not under subsection (3) of section 85 be set against a qualifying subsidiary's liability to corporation tax for an accounting period earlier than the principal accounting period unless throughout— the qualifying subsidiary was carrying on activities which, under and for the purposes specified in section 13 of the Oil Taxation Act 1975, constitute a separate trade (oil extraction activities etc.).
that period,
the principal accounting period, and
any intervening accounting period,
Subject to subsection (6) below, for each accounting period of the surrendering company in which is paid a dividend, the ACT on which gives rise, under section 92, to surrendered ACT, the total amount of that surrendered ACT in respect of which claims may be made under subsection (3) of section 85 (whether by one qualifying subsidiary of the surrendering company or by two or more taken together) shall not exceed whichever of the following limits is appropriate to the accounting period of the surrendering company—
for periods ending on or after 17th March 1987 and before 1st April 1989, £10 million;
for periods ending on or after 1st April 1989 and before 1st April 1991, £15 million;
for later periods, £20 million.
In any case where an accounting period of the surrendering company is less than twelve months, the amount which is appropriate to it under paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (5) above shall be proportionately reduced.
The amount of surrendered ACT of the principal accounting period which, on a claim under subsection (3) of section 85, may be treated as if it were ACT paid in respect of distributions made by the qualifying subsidiary concerned in any earlier accounting period shall not exceed the amount of ACT that would have been payable in respect of a distribution made at the end of that earlier period of an amount which, together with the ACT so payable in respect of it, would equal the qualifying subsidiary's ring fence income of that period.
In determining the amount (if any) of ACT which may be repayable— any ACT in respect of a distribution actually made on or after 17th March 1987 shall be left out of account.
under section 17(3) of the Oil Taxation Act 1975, or
under section 127(5) of the Finance Act 1981,
In any case where— section 92 of the Finance Act 1972 (setting of company's advance corporation tax against subsidiary's liability) shall have effect, subject to the following provisions of this section, as if the company were a subsidiary of each member of the consortium.
a company (in this section referred to as "the consortium company") is owned by a consortium consisting of two members only, each of which owns 50 per cent. of the issued share capital of the company, and
the consortium company carries on a trade consisting of or including activities falling within paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) of section 13 of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (oil extraction etc.), and
all of the issued share capital of the consortium company is of the same class and carries the same rights as to voting, dividends and distribution of assets on a winding up,
This section has effect with respect to advance corporation tax paid by either member of the consortium in respect of a dividend paid by it on or after 17th March 1987; and, in relation to a surrender under the said section 92 of the benefit of the advance corporation tax paid in respect of such a dividend,—
"surrendered ACT" means advance corporation tax which, by virtue of subsection (2) of that section, the consortium company is treated as having paid; and
"the notional distribution date" means the date of the distribution in respect of which the surrendered ACT is treated as paid.
No surrender under subsection (1) of section 92 of the Finance Act 1972 of the benefit of advance corporation tax may be made by virtue of this section—
unless the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) above are fulfilled throughout that accounting period of the consortium company in which falls the notional distribution date; or
if arrangements are in existence by virtue of which any person could cause one or more of those conditions to cease to be fulfilled at some time during that or any later accounting period.
In the application of section 85 of the Finance Act 1972 (payments of ACT to be set against company's liability to corporation tax on its income) in relation to surrendered ACT resulting from a surrender by either one of the consortium members under section 92 of that Act, the reference in subsection (2) of section 85 (the limit on the amount to be set against corporation tax) to the consortium company's income charged to corporation tax shall be construed as a reference to one half of so much of that income as consists of income arising from oil extraction activities or oil rights, within the meaning of Part II of the Oil Taxation Act 1975.
So much of any surplus advance corporation tax as consists of or includes surrendered ACT shall not be treated under section 85(4) of the Finance Act 1972 as if it were advance corporation tax paid in respect of distributions made by the consortium company in a later accounting period unless the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1) above are fulfilled throughout that later period.
In any case where— then, for the purposes of the application of subsection (2) of that section (as modified by subsection (4) above) in relation to that later accounting period, the excess of the surrendered ACT shall be treated as resulting from a surrender by that one of the consortium members referred to in paragraph (a) above.
as a result of a surrender by one of the consortium members, the consortium company is treated as paying an amount of surrendered ACT which exceeds the limit applicable under subsection (2) of section 85 of the Finance Act 1972 (as modified by subsection (4) above), and
that excess falls to be treated under subsection (4) of that section as advance corporation tax paid by the consortium company in respect of distributions made in a later accounting period,
Where section 92 of the Finance Act 1972 has effect as mentioned in subsection (2) above, subsection (9) of that section shall have effect with the omission of paragraph (b) (and the word "and" immediately preceding it).
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) above the consortium company shall not be regarded as a subsidiary for the purposes of section 44 above.
In section 16 of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (oil extraction activities etc.: restriction on setting advance corporation tax against profits therefrom) in subsection (2), after the words "United Kingdom" there shall be inserted "or, where subsection (2A) below applies, in respect of any distribution consisting of a dividend on a redeemable preference share".

"the originating fields" means the oil fields from which the blended oil is derived.
A relevant participator's share of oil won from the relevant field in the relevant period is to be taken to be the amount of the blended oil that it is just and reasonable (for the purposes of the oil taxation legislation) to allocate to the participator in respect of the relevant period.
In making the allocation regard must be had (in particular) to the quantity and quality of the oil derived from each of the originating fields.

But that is subject to Schedule 12.
that method is in any respect changed, or
there is a material change of any kind in the quantity or quality of any of the oil which makes up the blended oil,
If the participators in the originating fields fail to select a method for making the allocation, HMRC may select a method.
In a case where only some oil won from the relevant field in the relevant period is, before its disposal or relevant appropriation, mixed with oil won from one or more other fields, subsection (2) has effect for the purpose of determining the amount of the blended oil that is to be taken to be included in a relevant participator's share of oil won from the relevant field.
"the oil taxation legislation" means Part I of the principal Act and any enactment construed as one with that Part; and
"prescribed" means prescribed by the Board, whether before or after the passing of this Act.
Schedule 12 contains provision supplementing this section.
In this section and Schedule 12—

For the purpose of giving effect to, and in consequence of, the new allowance, the enactments specified in Part II of Schedule 13 to this Act shall have effect subject to the amendments there specified.
Part III of Schedule 13 to this Act shall have effect with respect to sums falling to be set off against expenditure which would otherwise be allowable under the new section set out in Part I of that Schedule.
Where an election is made by a participator in an oil field (in this section referred to as “the receiving field”), up to 10 per cent. of certain expenditure incurred on or after 17th March 1987 in connection with another field, being a field which is for the purposes of this section a relevant new field, shall be allowable in accordance with this section in respect of the receiving field; and in the following provisions of this section the relevant new field in connection with which the expenditure was incurred is referred to as “the field of origin”.
An election under this section may be made only in respect of expenditure which— and Part I of Schedule 14 to this Act shall have effect with respect to elections under this section.
was incurred by the participator making the election or, if that participator is a body corporate, by an associated company; and
as regards the field of origin, is allowable under section 3 or section 4 of the principal Act or section 3 of the Oil Taxation Act 1983; and
as regards the field of origin, has been allowed as qualifying for supplement under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c)(ii) of the principal Act (in the following provisions of this section referred to as “supplement”); and
is not expenditure falling within subsection (1) of section 5A of the principal Act (allowance of exploration and appraisal expenditure);
A participator may not make an election under this section in respect of expenditure which was incurred before the date which is his qualifying date, within the meaning of section 113 of the Finance Act 1984 (restriction of PRT reliefs), in relation to the receiving field unless that date falls before the end of the first chargeable period in relation to that field.
Where, by virtue of an election by a participator under this section, an amount of expenditure is allowable in respect of the receiving field, it shall be allowable as follows—
it shall be taken into account in that assessment to tax or determination relating to a chargeable period of the receiving field which is specified in Part II of Schedule 14 to this Act; and
it shall be so taken into account under subsection (8) of section 2 of the principal Act (allowable expenditure etc.) as if, for the chargeable period in question, it were an addition to the sum mentioned in paragraph (a) of that subsection; and
it shall be excluded in determining for the purposes of section 111(2) of the Finance Act 1981 (restriction of expenditure supplement) whether any, and if so what, assessable profit or allowable loss accrues to the participator in any chargeable period of the receiving field.
Where, by virtue of an election by a participator under this section, an amount of expenditure is allowable in respect of the receiving field, that amount shall be disregarded in determining, as regards the field of origin, the amounts referred to (in relation to the participator or the associated company, as the case may be) in paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of subsection (9) of section 2 of the principal Act (allowable expenditure and supplement thereon.
In Schedule 14 to this Act—
Part III has effect to determine for the purposes of this section what is a relevant new field and who is an associated company of a participator making an election;
Part IV contains provisions supplemental to and consequential upon the allowance of expenditure by virtue of an election under this section, including provisions applicable where a notice of variation is served in respect of expenditure which is already the subject of such an election;
“the receiving field” and “the field of origin” have the meaning assigned by subsection (1) above;
“the principal section” means this section;
“election” means an election under this section; and
“supplement” has the meaning assigned by subsection (2)(c) above.
For the purposes of this section— and any reference in this section to the two final periods is a reference to the final allocation period and the penultimate period.
“the final allocation period”, in relation to an oil field, means the chargeable period of that field in which section 8(6)(b) of the principal Act applies (the earliest chargeable period in which oil allowance is subject to “the necessary restriction” in order to confine it within the overall maximum); and
“the penultimate period”, in relation to an oil field, means the chargeable period of that field which immediately precedes the final allocation period;
The following provisions of this section apply if the responsible person gives notice to the Board (in this section referred to as an “apportionment notice”) specifying the manner in which the oil allowance for the field is to be apportioned between the participators in each of the two final periods, being a manner designed—
to produce, so far as practicable, the result specified in subsection (4) below, being a result which, in the circumstances of the case, could not be achieved under section 8(6)(b) of the principal Act; and
to secure that adjustments in a participator’s share of the oil allowance are made in the final allocation period in preference to the penultimate period.
An apportionment notice shall be of no effect unless—
it is given not later than six months after the expiry of the final allocation period; and
not later than the date of the notice the responsible person notifies the Board in accordance with paragraph (b) of subsection (6) of section 8 of the principal Act of the manner in which the necessary restriction, as defined in that subsection, is to be apportioned between the participators; and
it specifies a period for each of paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (4) below; and
it contains such information as the Board may prescribe for the purpose of showing how, or to what extent, the apportionment of the oil allowance achieves the result specified in subsection (4) below.
The result referred to in subsection (2) above is that the respective shares of the oil allowance utilised by each of two or more participators specified in the apportionment notice bear to each other the same proportion as their respective shares in oil won and saved from the field and, for this purpose—
a participator’s share of the oil allowance means the total amount of the allowance utilised by him over the period specified for the purpose of this paragraph in the apportionment notice; and
a participator’s share in oil won and saved from the field means the total of the oil included in his share of oil won and saved from the field (as specified in returns under Schedule 2 to the principal Act) over the period specified for the purposes of this paragraph in the apportionment notice, being a period which includes that specified for the purposes of paragraph (a) above.
If the Board are satisfied that an apportionment notice complies with subsections (2) to (4) above, they shall give notice to the responsible person accepting the apportionment notice and, on the giving of that notice—
the apportionment specified in the apportionment notice shall, as respects the two final periods, have effect as if it were the apportionment resulting from section 8(2) of the principal Act; and
all such amendments of assessments to tax and determinations shall be made as may be necessary in consequence of paragraph (a) above.
If the Board are not satisfied that an apportionment notice complies with subsections (2) to (4) above, they shall give notice to the responsible person rejecting the apportionment notice and, where the Board give such a notice, the responsible person may, by notice in writing given to the Board within thirty days after the date of the notice of rejection, appeal ... against the notice.
Where notice of appeal is given under subsection (6) abvove—
if, at any time after the giving of the notice and before the determination of the appeal by the tribunal, the Board and the appellant agree that the apportionment notice should be accepted or withdrawn or varied, the same consequences shall ensue as if the tribunal had determined the appeal to that effect;
if the appeal is notified to the tribunal and it appears to the tribunal that the apportionment notice should be accepted, with or without modifications, the tribunal shall allow the appeal and, where appropriate, make such modifications of the apportionment specified in the notice as the tribunal thinks fit; and
where the appeal is allowed, subsection (5) above shall apply as if the apportionment notice (subject to any modifications made by the tribunal) had been accepted by the Board.
Paragraphs 14(2), (8) and (11) and 14A to 14I of Schedule 2 to the principal Act shall apply in relation to an appeal under subsection (6) as they apply in relation to an appeal against an assessment or determination made under that Act subject to the following modifications—
any reference in those paragraphs to a participator is to be construed as a reference to the responsible person by whom notice of appeal is given;
any reference to an agreement under paragraph 14(9) shall be construed as a reference to an agreement under subsection (7)(a) above;
any other modifications that are necessary.
This section applies where the final allocation period ends on or after 30th June 1987.
9 In sub-paragraph (2) omit paragraphs (b) and (c), in sub-paragraph (8) for the reference to all or any of the participators substitute a reference to the participator by whom the claim is made and in sub-paragraph (11) for “after 15th March 1983” substitute “ on or after 17th March 1987 ”.
