Commentary on Sections Overview Chapter 1: Introduction Section 574: Non-trading credits and debits to be brought into account under Part 5
1507.This section provides for credits and debits to be brought into account under Part 5 (loan relationships) if section 573 does not apply to them. It is based on paragraph 14(3) of Schedule 26 to FA 2002.
1508.Credits and debits are treated as non-trading credits and non-trading debits for the purposes of Part 5 and lumped in with any non-trading credits and non-trading debits arising on the company’s loan relationships to determine whether there is an amount to charge (or to relieve as a deficit) under that Part. Profits and losses in respect of such credits and debits arising from the derivative contract are therefore charged under Part 5.
1509.Subsection (3) has the same function for non-trading credits and debits as does section 573(5) for trading credits and debits. The paragraphs in Part 10 of Schedule 2 headed “existing assets representing creditor relationships: options”, “existing assets representing creditor relationships: contracts for differences” and “disapplication of section 658” also disapply this section.
