Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 105: Industrial development grants
427.This section deals with the treatment of certain grants under the Industrial Development Act 1982 or the corresponding provision in Northern Ireland. It is based on section 93 of ICTA.
428.This section does not rewrite the references in section 93(2) of ICTA to the Industry Act 1972, the Industries Development Act (Northern Ireland) 1966 and the Industries Development Act (Northern Ireland) 1971. These enactments were repealed or replaced in 1982 and there are no outstanding instalments under the old enactments.
429.Section 93(3) of ICTA disapplies section 93(1) of ICTA in the case of grants towards the payment of all or part of a corporation tax liability made under Article 7 of the Industrial Development (Northern Ireland) Order 1982. Persons liable to income tax do not, in general, receive grants for the payment of corporation tax. But such a grant could, in principle, be made under Article 7 of the 1982 Order to a partnership with an associated company.
430.Grants in respect of corporation tax liabilities can not be made under any of the enactments listed in subsection (1) of this section other than Article 7 of the Industrial Development (Northern Ireland) Order 1982. So subsection (2) of this section excludes all grants in respect of corporation tax liabilities.
