Computation of profits
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This section applies in relation to the computation in accordance with the provisions applicable for the purposes of section 35 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (charge on trade profits) of the profits of the insurance business, other than life assurance business, of—
an insurance company,
a corporate member of Lloyd’s, or
a controlled foreign company.
For periods of account to which this section applies nothing in—prevents the company from computing the profits of that business on a realisation basis rather than a mark to market basis. A “realisation basis” means not recognising a profit or loss on an asset until it is realised, and a “mark to market basis” means bringing assets into account in each period of account at a fair value.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
section 46 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (computation of profits to be on basis giving true and fair view),
Subject to subsection (4), this section applies in relation to any period of account that—
began before 1st August 2001, and
ends before 31st July 2002.
This section does not apply if—
an earlier period of account beginning on or after 1st January 2001 ended with an accounting date different from that with which the previous period of account ended,
the change of accounting date was notified—on or after 17th April 2002, and
to the registrar of companies, or
in the case of a company established under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, to the corresponding authority of that country or territory,
the purpose, or one of the purposes, for which the change was made was so that a subsequent period of account would be one to which section 64 above applies (computation of profits: adjustment on change of basis).
In this section—“controlled foreign company” has the same meaning as in Chapter 4 of Part 17 of the Taxes Act 1988; and“corporate member of Lloyd’s” means a corporate member as defined in section 230(1) of the Finance Act 1994 (c. 9).
Where section 65 (postponement of change to mark to market in certain cases) applies in relation to a period of account, the company may elect that it shall continue to apply in relation to subsequent periods of account as regards assets held by it on 1st January 2002. Any such election must be made within twelve months after the end of the accounting period of the company current on that date.
An insurance company that carries on both long-term business and business other than long-term business may make an election under this section limited to assets held by the company otherwise than in the company’s long-term insurance fund.
For the purpose of determining whether an election under this section applies to an asset in a case where—assets realised shall be identified with assets acquired on the same basis as that used by the company for accounting purposes, unless the basis used by the company is “last in, first out” in which case assets realised shall be identified with assets acquired on or before 1st January 2002 in priority to assets acquired after that day.
assets are realised by the company in an accounting period beginning on or after 1st January 2002,
the assets are of such a kind that the particular assets realised are not readily identifiable,
the realisation does not exhaust the company’s holding, and
some but not all of the company’s holding was acquired after 1st January 2002,
Where a company has made an election under this section and—
an asset in relation to which the election has effect is transferred to another company (“the transferee company”) in pursuance of an insurance business transfer scheme, and
immediately after the transfer either—this section applies as if the transferee company had made an election under this section in relation to that asset.
the transferee company is resident in the United Kingdom, or
the asset is held for the purposes of a business carried on by the transferee company in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency,

Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax
Stamp duty
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This section applies where—
an instrument (“the relevant instrument”) transferring land in the United Kingdom from one company (“the transferor company”) to another (“the transferee company”) has been stamped on the basis that group relief applies,
before the end of the period of three years beginning with the date on which the instrument was executed the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company, and
at the time when the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company it or a relevant associated company holds an estate or interest in land—and that has not subsequently been transferred at market value by a duly stamped instrument on which ad valorem duty was paid and in respect of which group relief was not claimed.
that was transferred to the transferee company by the relevant instrument, or
that is derived from an estate or interest that was so transferred,
In those circumstances—
group relief in relation to the relevant instrument, or an appropriate proportion of it, is withdrawn, and
the stamp duty that would have been payable on stamping the relevant instrument but for group relief if the estate or interest in land transferred by that instrument had been transferred at market value, or an appropriate proportion of the duty that would have been so paid, is payable by the transferee company within 30 days after that company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company.
In subsection (2)(a) and (b) “an appropriate proportion” means an appropriate proportion having regard to what was transferred to the transferee company by the relevant instrument and what is held by that company or, as the case may be, that company and any relevant associated companies, at the time it or they cease to be members of the same group as the transferor company.
In this section “group relief” means relief under any of the following provisions—
section 42 of the Finance Act 1930 (c. 28) or section 11 of the Finance Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 (c. 23 (N.I.)) (transfer of property between associated bodies corporate);
section 151 of the Finance Act 1995 (c. 4) (leases etc between associated bodies corporate).
In this section “relevant associated company”, in relation to the transferee company, means a company that—
is a member of the same group as the transferee company immediately before that company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company, and
ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company in consequence of the transferee company so ceasing.
In this section—
references to the transfer of land include the grant or surrender of an estate or interest in or over land;
“company” includes any body corporate; and
references to a company being in the same group as another company are to the companies being associated bodies corporate within the meaning of the relevant group relief provision.
Schedule 34 to this Act contains provisions supplementing this section.
Where the relevant instrument transfers land in the United Kingdom together with other property, the provisions of this section and of Schedule 34 apply as if there were two separate instruments, one relating to land in the United Kingdom and the other relating to other property.
This section applies where the relevant instrument is executed after 23rd April 2002.
But this section does not apply to an instrument giving effect to a contract made on or before 17th April 2002, unless—
the instrument is made in consequence of the exercise after that date of any option, right of pre-emption or similar right, or
the instrument transfers the property in question to, or vests it in, a person other than the purchaser under the contract because of an assignment (or, in Scotland, assignation) or further contract made after that date.
This section shall be deemed to have come into force on 24th April 2002.

Section 15B of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) (late stamping: penaties) is amended as follows.

This section applies in relation to instruments executed on or after the day on which this Act is passed.
This section applies to a contract or agreement for the sale of an estate or interest in land in the United Kingdom where—
the amount or value of the consideration exceeds £10 million, or
the instrument forms part of a larger transaction or series of transactions in respect of which the amount or value, or aggregate amount or value, of the consideration exceeds £10 million.
If, in the case of such a contract or agreement that is not otherwise chargeable to stamp duty, a conveyance or transfer made in conformity with the contract or agreement is not presented to the Commissioners for stamping with the ad valorem duty chargeable on it—the contract or agreement shall be chargeable with the same ad valorem duty, to be paid by the purchaser, as if it were an actual conveyance on sale of the estate or interest contracted or agreed to be sold.
within the period of 90 days after the execution of the contract or agreement, or
within such longer period as the Commissioners may think reasonable in the circumstances of the case,
The Commissioners—
may refuse to allow a longer period unless they are provided with a copy of the contract or agreement and such other evidence as they may reasonably require as to the facts and circumstances relevant to their decision,
may allow a longer period subject to compliance with such conditions as they think fit, and
shall not allow any longer period if it appears to them that the whole, or substantially the whole, of the intended consideration has been paid or transferred.
Where an instrument to which this section applies is presented for stamping before the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2)—
any adjudication to the effect that stamp duty is not chargeable does not affect the operation of this section, and
the fact that duty may be chargeable under this section may be denoted on the instrument in such manner as the Commissioners think fit.
Where an instrument is chargeable with duty under this section—
section 14(4) of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) (inadmissibility of unstamped instruments) does not apply in relation to it until after the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2) above, and
sections 15A and 15B of that Act (late stamping: interest and penalties), apply in relation to it as if it had been executed at the end of that period.
The ad valorem duty paid upon a contract or agreement under this section shall be repaid by the Commissioners if the contract or agreement is afterwards rescinded or annulled or is for any other reason not substantially performed or carried into effect.
Schedule 36 contains provisions supplementing this section.
This section and that Schedule apply to contracts or agreements executed after the day on which this Act is passed.

Stamp duty: withdrawal of group relief: supplementary provisions
The provisions of this Schedule supplement section 111 (withdrawal of group relief).
Expressions used in this Schedule that are defined for the purposes of that section have the same meaning in this Schedule.
Section 111 does not apply if the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company by reason of the latter company leaving the group.
The transferor company is regarded as leaving the group if the companies cease to be members of the same group by reason of a transaction relating to shares in—
the transferor company, or
another company that as a result of the transaction ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferee company.
Section 111 does not apply if the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company by reason of anything done for the purposes of, or in the course of, winding up the transferor company or another company that is above the transferor company in the group structure.
For the purposes of this paragraph a company is “above” the transferor company in the group structure if it is the parent (within the meaning of the relevant group relief provision)—
of the transferor company, or
of another company that is above the transferor company in the group structure.
Section 111 does not apply if—
the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company as a result of an acquisition of shares by another company (“the parent company”) in relation to which acquisition relief applies, and
the transferee company is immediately after that acquisition a member of the same group as the parent company (“the new group”).
For this purpose—
“acquisition relief” means relief under section 75 of the Finance Act 1986 (c. 41); and
references to an acquisition in relation to which such relief applies are to an acquisition such that an instrument effecting the transfer of the shares is exempt from stamp duty by virtue of that provision.
But if before the end of the period of two years beginning with the date on which the relevant instrument was executed—section 111 and the provisions of this Schedule apply as if the transferee had then ceased to be a member of the same group as the transferor company and had then held the estate or interest referred to in paragraph (b).
the transferee company ceases to be a member of the new group, and
at the time when the transferee company ceases to be a member of the new group it or a relevant associated company (as defined in sub-paragraph (4) below) holds an estate or interest in land that—and that has not subsequently been transferred at market value by a duly stamped instrument on which ad valorem duty was paid and in respect of which group relief was not claimed,
was transferred to the transferee company by the relevant instrument, or
is derived from an estate or interest that was so transferred,
In sub-paragraph (3)(b) “relevant associated company”, in relation to the transferee company, means a company that is in the same group as the transferee company immediately before the transferee company ceases to be a member of the new group and which ceases to be a member of the new group in consequence of the transferee company so ceasing.
If any duty payable under section 111 is not paid within the period of 30 days within which payment is to be made, interest is payable on the amount remaining unpaid.
The provisions of section 15A(3) to (5) of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) (rate of interest on unpaid duty, etc) apply in relation to interest under sub-paragraph (1).
The transferee company shall, within the period of 30 days mentioned in section 111(2)(b) within which payment is to be made, notify the Commissioners of—
the date on which it ceased to be a member of the same group as the transferor company,
the relevant land held by it at that time,
the nature of the relevant instrument, the date on which it was executed, the parties to the instrument and the date on which the instrument was stamped,
the market value of the land transferred to it by the relevant instrument at the date on which that instrument was executed, and
the amount of duty and interest payable by it under section 111 or this Schedule.
In sub-paragraph (1)(b) the “relevant land” held by the transferee company means every estate or interest to in relation to which section 111(1)(c) applies.
In section 98(5) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9) (penalty for failure to provide information), in the second column of the Table, at the appropriate place insert “paragraph 6 of Schedule 34 to the Finance Act 2002".
The provisions of regulations under section 98 of the Finance Act 1986 (c. 41) (stamp duty reserve tax: administration etc), and the provisions of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9) applied by those regulations, have effect with the necessary modifications in relation to—as if it were an amount of stamp duty reserve tax.
the determination by the Commissioners of the duty payable under section 111 or the interest payable thereon,
appeals against any such determination, and
the collection and recovery of any such duty or interest,
This paragraph applies where—
an amount is payable under section 111 or this Schedule by the transferee company,
a notice of determination of the amount payable has been issued by the Commissioners, and
the whole or part of that amount is unpaid six months after the date on which it became payable.
The following persons may, by notice under paragraph 9, be required to pay the unpaid amount—
the transferor company;
any company that, at any relevant time, was a member of the same group as the transferee company and was above it in the group structure;
any person who at any relevant time was a controlling director of the transferee company or of a company having control of the transferee company.
For the purposes of this paragraph—
a “relevant time” means any time between the execution of the relevant instrument and the transferee company ceasing to be a member of the same group as the transferor company;
a company is “above” another company in a group structure if it is the parent (within the meaning of the relevant group relief provision)—
of that company, or
of another company that is above that company in the group structure.
In this paragraph—“director”, in relation to a company, has the meaning given by section 67(1) and (2) of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 and includes any person falling within section 452(1) of the Corporation Tax Act 2010;“controlling director”, in relation to a company, means a director of the company who has control of it (construing control in accordance with sections 450 and 451 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010).
The Commissioners may serve a notice on a person within paragraph 8(2) requiring him, within 30 days of the service of the notice, to pay the amount that remains unpaid.
Any notice under this paragraph must be served before the end of the period of three years beginning with the date on which the notice of determination mentioned in paragraph 8(1)(b) is issued.
The notice must state the amount required to be paid by the person on whom the notice is served.
The notice has effect—as if it were a notice of determination and that amount were an amount of stamp duty reserve tax due from that person.
for the purposes of the recovery from that person of the amount required to be paid and of interest on that amount, and
for the purposes of appeals,
A person who has paid an amount in pursuance of a notice under this paragraph may recover that amount from the transferee company.
A payment in pursuance of a notice under this paragraph is not allowed as a deduction in computing any income, profits or losses for any tax purposes.
The Commissioners may by notice require any person to furnish them within such time, not being less than 30 days, as may be specified in the notice with such information (including documents or records) as the Commissioners may reasonably require for the purposes of section 111 or this Schedule.
A relevant lawyer shall not be obliged in pursuance of a notice under this paragraph to disclose, without his client’s consent, any information with respect to which a claim to professional privilege could be maintained.
“Relevant lawyer” means a barrister, advocate, solicitor or other legal representative communications with whom may be the subject of a claim to professional privilege.
In section 98(5) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9) (penalty for failure to comply with notice to provide information), in the first column of the Table, at the appropriate place insert “paragraph 10 of Schedule 34 to the Finance Act 2002".
Section 111 and this Schedule shall be construed as one with the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39).

Stamp duty: contracts chargeable as conveyances: supplementary provisions
Subsales
This Part of this Schedule has effect for affording relief from duty under section 115 (contracts chargeable as conveyances) on a subsale.
For the purposes of this Schedule there is a subsale—so as to entitle that person to call for a conveyance from the original seller.
where the purchaser under a contract or agreement for the sale of an estate or interest in land in the United Kingdom (“the original sale”), without having obtained a conveyance of the property contracted to be sold, contracts to sell the whole or part of the property to another person, or
where the sub-purchaser under a subsale of an estate or interest in land in the United Kingdom, without having obtained a conveyance of the property contracted to be sold, contracts to sell to another person the whole or part of the property contracted to be sold by the original sale,
Where duty under section 115 has been paid—duty under that section on a subsale, or subsequent subsale, is chargeable only in respect of the amount (if any) by which the chargeable consideration on that transaction exceeds the chargeable consideration on the earlier transaction.
on the original sale, or
on an intervening subsale,
If there is more than one such earlier transaction on which duty has been paid, the reference in sub-paragraph (1) to the chargeable consideration on the earlier transaction shall be read as a reference to the higher or highest amount of chargeable consideration on which duty has been paid.
If the subsale does not relate to the whole of the property to which the earlier transaction related, the references in sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) to the chargeable consideration on an earlier transaction shall be read as references to an appropriate proportion of that consideration.
What is an appropriate proportion shall be determined on a just and reasonable basis having regard to the subject matter of the subsale and of the earlier transaction.
For the purposes of this paragraph the chargeable consideration on a transaction is the consideration that falls to be brought into account in determining the duty chargeable on it.
Where under this paragraph duty on a subsale is chargeable in respect of part only of the consideration for the subsale, it is chargeable at the rate that would be applicable if the whole of the chargeable consideration on the subsale were taken into account.
Subsequent conveyance or transfer
This Part of this Schedule has effect for affording relief where ad valorem duty is chargeable both—
under section 115 on a contract or agreement (“the original sale”), and
on a subsequent conveyance or transfer by the original seller to the purchaser, or a sub-purchaser, in conformity with that contract or agreement.
References in this Part to the purchaser under the original sale, or a sub-purchaser under a subsale, include a person by whom the rights of the purchaser, or a sub-purchaser, are exercisable by virtue of any assignment (in Scotland, assignation) or agreement (other than a subsale).
Where the original seller conveys the whole of the property contracted to be sold—the conveyance or transfer is chargeable with duty only to the extent (if any) that the ad valorem duty chargeable on it (apart from this sub-paragraph) exceeds the duty paid under section 115 on the original sale together with the amount of any such duty paid on an intervening subsale.
to the purchaser, or
to a sub-purchaser in circumstances in which section 58(4) of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) applies (conveyance chargeable only on consideration moving from sub-purchaser),
Where—the conveyance or transfer of each part or parcel is chargeable with duty only to the extent (if any) that the ad valorem duty chargeable on it (apart from this sub-paragraph) exceeds an appropriate proportion of the ad valorem duty paid on the original sale together with an appropriate proportion of any such duty paid on an intervening subsale.
the original seller conveys the property contracted to be sold to different sub-purchasers in parts or parcels, and
section 58(5) of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) applies (conveyance chargeable only on consideration moving from sub-purchaser),
What is an appropriate proportion shall be determined on a just and reasonable basis having regard to the subject matter of the conveyance or transfer and of the earlier transaction.
Where sub-paragraph (1) or (2) applies to reduce or extinguish the duty payable on a conveyance or transfer, the Commissioners shall, upon application and upon production of the earlier instrument or instruments, duly stamped, either—
denote the payment of the whole of the ad valorem duty upon the conveyance or transfer, or
transfer to the conveyance or transfer the ad valorem duty paid on the earlier instrument or instruments.
Where—the Commissioners shall repay the difference to the person by whom the duty was paid on the original sale.
duty is paid under section 115 on the original sale,
one or more conveyances or transfers are executed in conformity with that contract or agreement so that the whole of the property contracted to be sold is duly conveyed to a purchaser or to one or more sub-purchasers,
those conveyances or transfers are all duly stamped, and
the aggregate amount of the duty that would have been paid on those conveyances or transfers but for duty having been previously paid on the original sale is less than the duty paid on the original sale,
If duty has been paid under section 115 on one or more intervening subsales, sub-paragraph (1) has effect with the following modifications—
the reference to duty having been paid on the original sale shall be read as a reference to duty having been paid either on the original sale or on an intervening subsale;
the reference to the amount of duty paid on the original sale shall be read as a reference to the aggregate of the amounts paid on the original sale and any intervening subsales, and
any repayment shall be apportioned among the persons by whom those amounts were paid.
The apportionment mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(c) shall be made on a just and reasonable basis having regard to the subject matter of the original sale and of the subsale or subsales in question.
General supplementary provisions
Any reference in section 115 or this Schedule to duty chargeable or paid on a transaction is to duty chargeable or paid on the stamping of the instrument by which the transaction is effected.
Where a transaction relates both to land in the United Kingdom and to other property, section 115 and this Schedule apply as if there were separate transactions.
Similarly, the reference in section 115(1)(b) to a series of transactions is to a series of transactions so far as relating to land in the United Kingdom.
If, in a case where a transaction or series of transactions relates partly to land in the United Kingdom and partly to other property, the consideration is not apportioned in a manner that is just and reasonable, section 115 and this Schedule shall have effect as if the consideration had been apportioned in such a manner.
It is for a person claiming any relief under this Schedule to prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that he is entitled to relief and in what amount.
Section 115 and this Schedule shall be construed as one with the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39).
Stamp duty: abolition of duty on instruments relating to goodwill: supplementary provisions
This paragraph applies where stamp duty under Part 1 of Schedule 13 to the Finance Act 1999 (c. 16) (conveyance or transfer on sale) is chargeable on an instrument that relates partly to goodwill and partly to property other than goodwill.
In such a case—
the consideration in respect of which duty would otherwise be charged shall be apportioned, on a just and reasonable basis, as between the goodwill and the other property, and
the instrument shall be charged only in respect of the consideration attributed to the other property.
This paragraph applies to instruments executed on or after 23rd April 2002.
Where part of the property referred to in section 58(1) of the Stamp Act 1891 (c. 39) (consideration to be apportioned between different instruments as parties think fit) consists of goodwill, that provision shall have effect as if “the parties think fit" read “is just and reasonable".
Where—that provision shall have effect as if the words from “for distinct parts of the consideration" to the end of the subsection read “, the consideration shall be apportioned in such manner as is just and reasonable, so that a distinct consideration for each separate part or parcel is set forth in the conveyance relating thereto, and such conveyance is to be charged with ad valorem duty in respect of such distinct consideration.".
part of the property referred to in section 58(2) of the Stamp Act 1891 (property contracted to be purchased by two or more persons etc) consists of goodwill, and
both or (as the case may be) all the relevant persons are connected with one another,
In a case where sub-paragraph (1) or (2) applies and the consideration is apportioned in a manner that is not just and reasonable, the enactments relating to stamp duty shall have effect as if—
the consideration had been apportioned in a manner that is just and reasonable, and
the amount of any distinct consideration set forth in any conveyance relating to a separate part or parcel of property were such amount as is found by a just and reasonable apportionment (and not the amount actually set forth).
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)—
a person is a relevant person if he is a person by or for whom the property is contracted to be purchased;
the question whether persons are connected with one another shall be determined in accordance with section 1122 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.
This paragraph applies to instruments executed on or after 23rd April 2002.
Goodwill shall be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph 6 of Schedule 13 to the Finance Act 1999 (c. 19) (certification of instrument as not forming part of transaction or series of transactions exceeding specified amount).
Any statement as mentioned in paragraph 6(1) of that Schedule shall be construed as leaving out of account any matter which is to be so disregarded.
This paragraph applies to instruments executed on or after 23rd April 2002.
Section 12 of the Finance Act 1895 (c. 16) (property vested by Act or purchased under statutory powers) does not require any person who is authorised to purchase any property as mentioned in that section after 23rd April 2002 to include any goodwill in the instrument of conveyance required by that section to be produced to the Commissioners.
If the property consists wholly of goodwill no instrument of conveyance need be produced to the Commissioners under that section.
This paragraph applies where the Act mentioned in that section, and by virtue of which property is vested or a person is authorised to purchase property, is passed after 23rd April 2002.
In this Schedule “the enactments relating to stamp duty” means the Stamp Act 1891 (c.39) and any enactment amending that Act or that is to be construed as one with that Act.
