Details

This measure will amend the rules in Chapter 4 of Part 5, and Chapter 5 of Part 7, of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (CTA 09). The changes will amend the ‘de-grouping’ provisions in those chapters that apply when a company to which a loan relationship or derivative contract has been transferred (a ‘transferee company’) ceases to be a member of the group.

This supports the government’s objective of establishing a simpler, more certain and more robust tax system.
