Section 371VD | Adjustments to accounting profits

(1)This section applies for the purpose of determining a CFC's accounting profits for an accounting period.

(2)The following are to be ignored in determining the profits—

(a)any dividend or other distribution which is not brought into account in determining the CFC's assumed total profits for the accounting period on the basis that it would be exempt for the purposes of Part 9A of CTA 2009 (company distributions),

(b)any property business profits or property business losses, and

(c)any capital profits or losses.

(3)In subsection (2)(b) “property business losses” means any losses of a UK property business or overseas property business of the CFC; such losses are to be determined in a way corresponding to the way in which property business profits are determined.

(4)The profits are to include—

(a)any amount which accrues during the accounting period to the trustees of a settlement in relation to which the CFC is a settlor or beneficiary, and

(b)the CFC's share of any income which accrues during the accounting period to a partnership of which the CFC is a partner, as determined by apportioning that income between the partners on a just and reasonable basis.

(5)If there is more than one settlor or beneficiary in relation to a settlement covered by subsection (4)(a), the income is to be apportioned between the CFC and the other settlors or beneficiaries on a just and reasonable basis.

(6)In subsection (4)(b) “partnership” includes an entity established under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom of a similar character to a partnership; and “partner” is to be read accordingly.

(7)Part 4 (transfer pricing) applies as it applies in relation to the determination of the CFC's assumed taxable total profits for the accounting period.

(8)But subsection (7) is to be ignored if the difference made in the amount of the profits as a result of its application would not be more than £50,000.
