Commentary on Sections Overview Chapter 13: General and supplementary provisions Section 702: “Carrying value”
1947.This section defines the meaning of “carrying value” for the purposes of this Part. It is based on paragraphs 28(6) and 50A(3A) and (3B) of Schedule 26 to FA 2002.
1948.Subsections (2) and (3) ensure that the effect of various provisions dealing with special cases carries through for the purposes of calculating the carrying value under this section.
1949.Subsection (4) provides a definition of “impairment loss” (a term taken from international accounting standards) which is only implied by the source legislation by virtue of its reference to “amounts recognised for accounting purposes”. The definition is modelled on that provided for loan relationships by section 476. See Change 67 in Annex 1.
