Example 4 

Loan repaid more than 9 months and 1 day after the AP in which it was made - return includes a S458 claim before relief is due  

Background  

A Ltd, a close company, makes a loan of £10,000 to a participator during the AP ended 31/12/2011.  The participator repays £6,000 of the loan during the AP ended 31/12/2011, £1,500 on 30/06/2012, and the balance of £2,500 on 31/10/2012.  The company delivers its return on 31/12/2012.  

A Ltd claims S458 relief on the balance of £2,500 at the time that it makes its return.  However, the relief should be deferred under Section 458(5) until 01/10/2013 because the balance of the loan was repaid more than 9 months after the end of the AP in which the loan was made.

Company Action  

The company  

  • Puts an ‘X’ in box 80 of the CT600 Version 2 because it has completed Box A11  

  • Copies the figure in Box A13 (£0.00) to box 79  

  • Enters the total self assessed tax payable, including S455, in box 79 as £5000.00  

Clerical Action  

COTAX treats the ‘X’ in box 80 as evidence that a figure in the return has been stated net after a ‘carry-back’ and does not automatically record the self assessment.  It puts the case on the Record Self Assessment Work List (RSAW) for review.  

The CT Co-ordinator  

  • Reviews the RSAW Work List and establishes that the case is listed because of the entry in box 80  

  • Uses the ‘Record a self assessmentoption in Function RAMA (Record / Amend Assessment) to record the self assessment 

At screen COT121N, COTAX displays an advisory message advising you that box 80 has been completed and showing the actions required to make sure the postings on the record are correct.  You must follow these instructions.  

Note:  The COTAX message refers to S419(4A) ICTA 1988 and box 65 of the CT600.  You should read S419(4A) ICTA 1988 as S458(5) CTA 2010, which is the legislation that superseded it.  You should also read box 65 as box 80, as the CT600 box numbers were revised when Version 2 was introduced.

Example 5 

Loan repaid more than 9 months and 1 day after the AP in which it was made - for S458 relief claimed by amendment to the return, after the time limit for amendment has expired 

A Ltd, a close company, makes a loan of £10,000 to a participator during the AP ended 31/12/2011.  The participator repays £6,000 of the loan during the AP ended 31/12/2011, £1,500 on 30/06/2012, and the balance of £2,500 on 31/10/2012.  The company delivers its return on 31/12/2012.  

A Ltd cannot claim S458 relief on the balance of £2,500 at the time that it makes its return.  It was repaid more than 9 months after the end of the AP in which the loan was made and relief is not due until 01/10/2013.  

A Ltd claims S458 relief in January 2014, by amending its return, for the £2,500 balance of the loan repaid on 31/10/2012.  

The Inspector  

  • Writes to the company to Acknowledge receipt of the amendment  

  • And  

  • Explain that the time limit (under Paragraph 15 (4) Schedule 18 FA 1998) for amending the return has expired, but that effect can be given to the claim under Schedule 1A TMA 1970  

  • Uses Function RAMA (Record / Amend Assessment) Process a Claim option, to give effect to the claim  

 

 

Example 6 

Loan repaid more than 9 months and 1 day after the AP in which it was made - return delivered late 

Background  

A Ltd, a close company, makes a loan of £10,000 to a participator during the AP ended 31/12/2011.  The participator repays £6,000 of the loan during the AP ended 31/12/2011, £1,500 on 30/06/2012, and the balance of £2,500 on 31/10/2012.  As the balance was repaid more than 9 months after the end of the AP in which the loan was made, the relief is not due until 01/10/2013.  

The company delivers its return late, in November 2013, and claims S458 relief for the loan balance of £2,500 repaid on 31/10/2012.
