(1)For the purposes of this Part a CFC's “assumed taxable total profits” for an accounting period are what, applying the corporation tax assumptions, would be the CFC's taxable total profits of the accounting period for corporation tax purposes.

(2)“Taxable total profits” has the meaning given by section 4(2) of CTA 2010 (calculation of taxable total profits).

(3)But, for this purpose, in section 4(3) of CTA 2010—

(a)step 1 is to be applied subject to subsections (4) to (6) below, and

(b)step 2 is to be ignored.

(4)Any income which accrues during the accounting period to the trustees of a settlement in relation to which the CFC is a settlor or a beneficiary is to be added to the income determined at step 1.

(5)If there is more than one settlor or beneficiary in relation to the settlement, the income is to be apportioned between the CFC and the other settlors or beneficiaries on a just and reasonable basis.

(6)If by virtue of subsection (4) any income (“the settlement income”) is added to the income determined at step 1, any dividend or other distribution which derives from the settlement income is to be excluded from the income determined at step 1.

(7)Subsection (8) applies if there is any income which, by virtue of subsection (4), would (apart from subsection (8)) be included in—

(a)the chargeable profits for an accounting period of a CFC which is a beneficiary in relation to a settlement, and

(b)the chargeable profits for an accounting period of a CFC which is a settlor in relation to the settlement.

(8)If the CFC charge is charged in relation to the beneficiary's accounting period, the income is not to be included in the settlor's chargeable profits.

(9)For the purposes of this Part a CFC's “assumed total profits” for an accounting period are its assumed taxable total profits for the period before taking step 2 in section 4(2) of CTA 2010.
