Overview Section 793 of CTA 2009: Intangible fixed assets: reallocation of degrouping charge within group and recovery: further requirements about elections under section 793
1422.Section 793(3) of CTA 2009 stipulates that an election under section 792 of that Act can only be made if at the relevant time (a) company B carried on a trade in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment, and (b) it was not exempt from corporation tax in respect of the income or chargeable gains of that permanent establishment because of arrangements under Part 18 of ICTA (DTR).
1423.Section 790(3) of ICTA (unilateral relief), in Part 18 of that Act, hypothesises notional arrangements for DTR. But section 790(3) of ICTA refers specifically to relief by way of credit under Chapter 2 of Part 18 of that Act, and section 793(3) of CTA 2009 refers specifically to exemption from corporation tax. Accordingly, section 793(3) of CTA 2009 does not refer by implication to section 790(3) of ICTA. For the sake of precision, therefore, this Schedule, in amending section 793(3) of CTA 2009, substitutes a reference to arrangements that have effect under section 2(1) (double taxation arrangements).
