Section 1216EB | The UK expenditure condition ^F1

(1)The company is not entitled to special television relief for an interim accounting period unless—^F1

(a)its company tax return for the period states the amount of planned core expenditure on the relevant programme that is UK expenditure, and^F1

(b)that amount is such as to indicate that the condition in section 1216CE (the UK expenditure condition) will be met on completion of the programme.^F1

If those requirements are met, the company is provisionally treated in relation to that period as if that condition was met.

(2)If such a statement is made but it subsequently appears that the condition will not be met on completion of the programme, the company—^F1

(4)If that statement shows that the condition in section 1216CE is not met, the company—^F1

(a)is not entitled to special television relief for any period, and^F1

(b)must amend accordingly its company tax return for any period for which such relief was claimed.^F1
