Adjustments to be made for capital allowance purposes to the amount of qualifying expenditure for assets where a corporate partner leaves tonnage tax
8
1
This regulation applies where —
a
a corporate partner leaves tonnage tax,
b
an asset has been used by the corporate partner for the purposes of tonnage tax activities which it carries on as a member of a partnership, and
c
as at the beginning of the partnership chargeable period in which the corporate partner leaves tonnage tax (the beginning of which period is referred to in this regulation as “the relevant time”) the asset —
i
was partnership property of the partnership concerned, or
ii
would have been so treated by regulation 9(2), or by section 65 of the 1990 Act if the corporate partner had not been subject to tonnage tax,
and applies to the corporate partner and all the other members of the partnership.
In this paragraph “the partnership chargeable period” means the accounting period or period of account used by the partnership in its partnership computation under section 114(1) of the Taxes Act or section 111(2) of that Act , as the case may be.
2
In relation to any asset mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) and (c) —
a
there shall be determined the amount for that asset which is referred to in paragraph 85(2)(a) of Schedule 22 (which amount is referred to in this regulation as “the paragraph 85(2)(a) amount” for the asset), on the assumptions —
i
that the corporate partner left tonnage tax at the relevant time, and
ii
(where it is not otherwise the case) that the asset was held by the corporate partner at that time; and
b
where the asset is counted in a calculation under paragraphs (3) to (7) of this regulation, it shall not be counted again in any determination under paragraph 85(1) of Schedule 22 on the same occasion of the corporate partner leaving tonnage tax.
3
In the following paragraphs of this regulation —
“unrelieved qualifying expenditure”, in relation to an asset, means the balance of qualifying expenditure attributable to that asset that would otherwise have been carried forward under Part II of the 1990 Act, including postponed allowances attributable to that asset; and
“postponed allowances” means qualifying expenditure which is unrelieved by virtue of notice having been given under —
section 30(1) of the 1990 Act (postponement or reduction of first year allowances) , or
section 31(3) of that Act (postponement of writing-down allowance in respect of expenditure in single ship pool) .
4
The unrelieved qualifying expenditure for any asset mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) and (c), so far as it is not represented by postponed allowances, that would otherwise have been carried forward as at the relevant time, shall be adjusted to the amount resulting from the calculation in paragraph (5) or (6), as the case may be.
5
Except in the case described in paragraph (6), the calculation is —
( A% × B ) + ( ( 100% - A% ) × C )
where —
A equals the corporate partner’s share (expressed as a percentage) in the partnership property of the partnership concerned at the relevant time, subject to paragraph (8);
B equals the written down value of the paragraph 85(2)(a) amount for the asset calculated by applying regulation 4, 5 or 6, as the case may be —
as if for regulation 4(4)(b), there were substituted a reference to the relevant time; and
on the assumptions contained in paragraph (2)(a) where applicable;
C equals the unrelieved qualifying expenditure for the asset, so far as it is not represented by postponed allowances, as at the relevant time.
6
In a case where all the members of the partnership other than the corporate partner are —
a
persons who (within the meaning in section 161 of the 1990 Act) are not within the charge to tax in the United Kingdom on the profits of the trade carried on in the partnership in question, or
b
companies which are subject to tonnage tax,
the calculation is of B, which has the same meaning as in paragraph (5).
7
The unrelieved qualifying expenditure for any asset mentioned in paragraph (1)(b) and (c), so far as it is represented by postponed allowances, that would otherwise have been carried forward as at the relevant time (the amount of which is referred to as “D” in this paragraph), shall be reduced to the percentage of D which is represented by the following calculation —
( 100% - A% ) × D
where
A has the same meaning as in paragraph (5).
8
Where the share of the corporate partner in the partnership property (expressed as a proportion of the whole) varied during the period —
a
beginning on the last to occur of —
i
the date on which the corporate partner became a member of the partnership concerned,
ii
the date on which the corporate partner entered tonnage tax, or
iii
the date six years before the relevant time, and
b
ending at the relevant time,
the calculation of A in paragraphs (5) and (7) shall be made according to the average of the corporate partner’s interest in the property of the relevant partnership during that period, and any necessary apportionment on a daily basis shall be made.
9
A payment made by a corporate partner to another corporate partner in the same partnership which is compensation for any adjustment carried out under paragraphs (4) to (7) —
a
shall not be taken into account in computing profits or losses of either company for corporation tax purposes, and
b
shall not for any of the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts, (within the meaning in section 831(1)(a) of the Taxes Act) be regarded as a distribution or a charge on income.
Corporate partners — modifications of the requirements for being a qualifying company (with supplementary provision relating to finance leases)
9
1
Paragraphs (1) to (3), (5) and (6) of this regulation prescribe modifications to the requirements for determining whether —
a
a corporate partner operates qualifying ships within the meaning in paragraphs 16(1)(b) and 18(1) to (4) of Schedule 22, and
b
those ships are strategically and commercially managed in the United Kingdom within the meaning in paragraph 16(1)(c) of Schedule 22.
2
Where —
a
a qualifying ship is owned by, or (other than by a charter described in paragraph (3)) chartered to, one or more of the members of a partnership but is not partnership property, and
b
activities of the partnership business which, if carried on by a tonnage tax company, would be tonnage tax activities, are carried on in relation to the ship,
the ship shall be treated as if it were owned by, or chartered to, all the partners, as the case may be, and as if everything done by or to any of the partners in relation to it had been done by or to all the partners.
3
Any charter of a ship from one or more members of the partnership to the other partners, or to the partnership, for use in the tonnage tax activities carried on in that partnership, shall be treated for the purposes of paragraph 18(4) of Schedule 22 as a charter to a person who is not a third party.
4
A finance lease (within the meaning in section 82A of the 1990 Act ) of a qualifying ship where the lessee is one or more members of a partnership which includes a tonnage tax company as a member, or is such a partnership, and the ship is used in the tonnage tax activities which the tonnage tax company carries on as a member of the partnership, shall be treated for the purposes of Part X of Schedule 22 as if —
a
the qualifying ship were provided (within the meaning in paragraph 89(1) of Schedule 22) to the tonnage tax company;
b
the tonnage tax company were the “lessee” for the purposes of paragraphs 98 and 99 of Schedule 22; and
c
the references in paragraph 92 of Schedule 22 to the ship being owned by a tonnage tax company included references to the ship being owned by one or more of the partners, or by the partnership.
5
Paragraph 16(1)(c) of Schedule 22 shall be modified as if, in relation to activities carried on by a corporate partner in a partnership, the reference to those ships were replaced with a reference to the requisite proportion of those ships.
6
In paragraph (5) “the requisite proportion of those ships” means a proportion of those ships such that —
E F is not less than G
where —
E equals the aggregate net tonnage of all the qualifying ships which are —
operated by the partners of the partnership concerned, in their capacity as such partners, and
strategically and commercially managed in the United Kingdom;
F equals the aggregate net tonnage of all the qualifying ships which are operated by the partners of the partnership concerned, in their capacity as such partners; and
G equals the share of the corporate partner, expressed as a fraction, in the partnership property of the partnership concerned.
Rules for calculating the tonnage tax profits and relevant shipping profits of a corporate partner
10
1
Paragraph (2) applies to any corporate partner which is a tonnage tax company (but only in relation to the share of profits or losses which such a partner derives from the activities carried on in the partnership concerned).
2
Section 114 of the Taxes Act shall apply to the profits and losses of the partnership as if the partnership were a tonnage tax company, for the purpose of calculating —
a
the tonnage tax profits, and
b
the relevant shipping profits (or such of the corresponding losses as fall within paragraph 3(2) of Schedule 22),
of any corporate partner to whom this paragraph applies (but not the share of profits or losses of any other partner).
3
Where a ship falls to be counted as operated by a partnership in a calculation under paragraph (2)(a) carried out in relation to a corporate partner, it shall not be counted again in any computation of the tonnage tax profits of that corporate partner, and the same provision shall apply as between a calculation under paragraph (2)(b) and the relevant shipping profits (or relevant corresponding losses) of a corporate partner.
Ships chartered to partners — further provision relating to chartering in
11
1
Where a corporate partner carries on activities in partnership which include the operation of a qualifying ship, the calculation whether the 75% limit is exceeded by —
a
that corporate partner (if it is a single company), or
b
a group of which that corporate partner is a member, so far as the calculation relates to the corporate partner,
shall be made in accordance with this regulation.
2
The calculation is as follows:
Step One
Find out the aggregate net tonnage of the qualifying ships that are operated by the members of the partnership concerned, in their capacity as such partners.
Step Two
Find out the proportion, in percentage terms, of the result of Step One which represents tonnage of ships which are chartered to the partners, or to the partnership, otherwise than on bareboat charter terms (“chartered in”), ignoring any such charters which are from another qualifying member of any group of which the corporate partner is also a member.
Step Three
Determine the corporate partner’s share of the results of Steps One and Two according to the interests of the partners in the partnership property in the accounting period in question, expressed as a figure of net tonnage and the percentage of it which is chartered in.
Step Four
Follow Steps One to Three for each partnership of which the corporate partner is a member and aggregate the results, to arrive at a total figure of net tonnage and the percentage of it which is chartered in.
Step Five
Aggregate the results of Step Four with the results of the calculation for the purposes of paragraph 37(1)(a) or (b) of Schedule 22, as the case may be, in relation to any ships other than those which the corporate partner operates as a member of a partnership.
Step Six
Apply paragraph 37(1)(a) or (b) of Schedule 22, as the case may be, to the results of Step Five.
3
Where the interests of the partners in the partnership property, expressed as a proportion of the whole, vary in the course of an accounting period, the interest of a corporate partner for that period shall be calculated according to the average interest of that partner during that period.
Chargeable gains: use of assets by partnerships which include corporate partners
12
Where —
a
an asset has been used wholly and exclusively for the purposes of activities of a partnership which are (or would be, if the partnership were a tonnage tax company) tonnage tax activities;
b
throughout the period of use of the asset as mentioned in sub-paragraph (a), there was a corporate partner member of the partnership which was also a tonnage tax company; and
c
the asset is disposed of by that corporate partner, or by another member of a group of which that corporate partner is a member,
references in paragraph 65(1) and (3) of Schedule 22 to a tonnage tax asset, or to any time at which or period during which an asset was a tonnage tax asset, shall respectively include references to the asset and period mentioned in this regulation, and references to a period during which an asset was not a tonnage tax asset shall be construed accordingly.
Transactions not at arm’s length between a partnership (where a corporate partner is a tonnage tax company) and another partner
13
1
Where a corporate partner which is a tonnage tax company (“the relevant company”) carries on tonnage tax activities in partnership, paragraph 58 of Schedule 22 shall apply to provision made or imposed as between —
a
the partnership, and
b
another partner,
if the condition in paragraph (2) is satisfied, and in that event on the assumptions in paragraph (3).
2
The condition is that the relevant company (in addition to the partner referred to in paragraph (1)(b)) is a major participant in the partnership’s enterprise, within the meaning of that expression in paragraph 4(7) of Schedule 28AA .
3
The assumptions are that the partnership —
a
is a tonnage tax company, and
b
is regarded for the purposes of paragraph 58(1)(a) of Schedule 22 as carrying on the tonnage tax trade of the relevant company, so far as that trade consists of activities carried on by the relevant company in the partnership in question.
