CTA09/S367

Subsequent recovery: apportioned example

In the example at CFM35670, JL plc and TR Ltd both had their impairment restricted by group relief claimed by their group. In the following period

• JL plc regards the £30,000 debt as recoverable

• TR Ltd reduces its bad debt provision by £60,000.

The recovery credits, which would otherwise be taxable, are reduced under CTA09/s367 as follows.

The total amount of recovery credits is £90,000 (assuming no further write-downs, so this is the net amount).

Under section 367 the taxable recovery credits are reduced by the cumulative impairment restriction brought forward, £40,000.

The reduction in recoveries is apportioned between JL plc and TR Ltd as follows.

JL plc's recovery reduced by (£40,000 x £30,000) / £90,000 = £13,333, so taxable credits £16,667.

TR Ltd's recovery reduced by (£40,000 x £60,000) / £90,000 = £26,667, so tabable credits £33,333

Of the £90,000 recoveries, £40,000 is covered by the impairment restrictions, leaving net recoveries of £50,000 to be taxed.

There is no longer a cumulative impairment restriction to be brought into future computations.
