Introduction Overview Overview Section 694: Meaning of “the relevant provisions”
2154.This interpretative section is based on section 768C of, and paragraph 13 of Schedule 28A to, ICTA.
2155.Paragraph (a) refers to section 8(1) of TCGA, which provides (in summary) that the chargeable gains included in a company’s total profits are its chargeable gains after deducting allowable losses. Paragraph (a) also refers to Schedule 7A to that Act. That Schedule is directed against another kind of loss buying, namely the purchase of allowable losses for the purposes of corporation tax on chargeable gains. In summary, if that Schedule bites, relief for allowable losses is restricted to the extent that (1) they accrued before the company joined the relevant group and (2) they cannot be deducted from chargeable gains accruing before that date. Defining “the relevant provisions” in this way ensures that Schedule 7A to TCGA is applied before the provisions of this Chapter are applied.
2156.The concept of “the relevant provisions” is used, in particular, in row 1 in the table in section 702(2).
2157.In a case in which section 768C of ICTA applies in relation to an asset to which Part 8 of CTA 2009 (intangible fixed assets) applies, section 768C(13)(d) of ICTA applies not only to section 768C(12) of that Act but also to paragraph 13(2) of Schedule 28A to that Act.
