Modifications to other tax rules

A number of corporation tax rules are ‘switched off’ in relation to companies taxed under Regulation 14. These are set out in Regulations 16 to 20 and Regulation 23 as follows:

• distributions (CFM72680)

• group relief (CFM72640)

• intra-group transfers of assets (CFM72650)

• loan relationships between connected companies (CFM72660)

• derivative contracts between connected companies (CFM72670)

• recovery of unpaid corporation tax (CFM72675)

It should be borne in mind that a company becomes a ‘securitisation company’ solely by satisfying one of the sets of conditions in Regulations 5 to 9. However, it will only be taxed under the regulations if it complies with the payments condition and the unallowable purposes test. So a company can still be a ‘securitisation company’ and be taxed under normal corporation tax charging provisions. The various provisions that are disapplied in relation to a company taxed under Regulation 14 are not disapplied where the company is taxed under normal CT rules.
