Commentary on Sections Overview Overview
588.This Chapter provides anti-avoidance rules for the Part. The first rule is targeted at avoidance schemes that manipulate the rules in Chapter 2 in order to avoid the application of the Part to a group of companies that would not otherwise have met the ‘gateway’ conditions in section 261. The second targets schemes to reduce the amount of a disallowance under the debt cap, whether by decreasing the tested expense amount or by increasing the available amount or the tested income amount, or any combination of these. The third rule counters manipulation of the Chapter 5 rules which disregard certain intra-group financing income.
