This draft steerage in Appendix 17 has been partially up to date (as at 22 December 2021) with a purpose to make clear graduation provisions for corporations writing BLAGAB in part 5. The rest of steerage is below evaluate to be totally built-in into the CG handbook when additional updates may additionally be made, therefore that is nonetheless to be handled as draft steerage.
From 1 April 2020, the restriction introduced at Price range 2018 was launched to limit the proportion of annual capital achieve that may be relieved by introduced ahead capital losses to 50%.
The federal government consulted on the measure from 29 October 2018 to 25 January 2019.
A response to that session was revealed on 11 July 2019 along with draft laws. A interval of technical session ran from 11 July 2019 to five September 2019.
Revised draft laws was revealed as a part of the Finance Invoice 2020 on 19 March 2020.
HM Income & Customs can’t publish formal steerage till the laws is finalised (as it might be amended through the progress of the Finance Invoice). Nonetheless, because the measure took impact on 1 April 2020 (earlier than the laws grew to become legislation) the primary model of this draft steerage was revealed to help corporations which can have been affected previous to the laws being finalised.
The Finance Invoice 2020 was finalised changing into the Finance Act after receiving Royal Assent on 22 July 2020.
As that is draft steerage, it might be topic to additional adjustments as not all points have been reviewed for the reason that laws grew to become closing.
This draft steerage contains examples of how the laws operates. We intend to publish full steerage on this topic in 2022.
The contents of this steerage are:-
- The Company Capital Loss Restriction (CCLR) – Important provisions
- Interplay of CCLR with clogged losses
- Interplay of CCLR with pre-entry losses
- Anti-avoidance preparations
- Graduation provisions
- Anti-forestalling preparations
- Firms with out a supply of chargeable revenue
- CCLR for bancrupt corporations
- CCLR for offshore collective funding autos
- CCLR for all times insurance coverage corporations
- CCLR for oil corporations

The Company Capital Loss Restriction (CCLR) – Important provisions
FB20/Sch 3 Paras 1 to 7 & 24 to 38 (now FA20/Sch 4, Pt 1, Paras 1 to 7 & 24 to 38)
CTA10/S269ZBA, S269ZC, S269ZD & S269ZF
For accounting intervals which start on or after 1 April 2020, the CCLR will apply to limit the quantity of carried-forward capital losses that an organization can use to offset its capital positive factors of an accounting interval. For accounting intervals which start earlier than 1 April 2020 and finish on or after 1 April 2020, particular graduation provisions apply, see Part 5 under.
The place carried-forward capital losses are used to offset capital positive factors in an accounting interval, solely 50% of these positive factors could be offset.
A deductions allowance of as much as £5 million per 12 months is obtainable, which will increase the quantity of carried-forward losses that may be offset.
This steerage units out how the loss restriction applies particularly for capital positive factors and losses, so concentrates on the CCLR. The total steerage on how the loss restriction applies for different forms of losses (the Company Revenue Loss Restriction or CILR as launched with impact from 1 April 2017) could be discovered at CTM05000.
This steerage contains examples restricted to situations with solely capital positive factors and losses earlier than increasing into an instance with a wide range of earnings, positive factors and losses in play.
Restriction on deductions from chargeable positive factors
When an organization accrues a capital loss on the disposal of an asset, that loss is ready in opposition to any capital positive factors of the identical accounting interval (TCGA92/S2A(1)(a), see CG15800P). Insofar as capital losses can’t be offset in opposition to positive factors of the identical accounting interval, they’re carried ahead and are offset in opposition to positive factors arising in later accounting intervals (TCGA92/S2A(1)(b)).
The CCLR restricts the quantity of capital losses that may be offset below TCGA92/S2A(1)(b) to the Related Most.
Definitions
Related Most is the sum of:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Chargeable Features for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
An organization’s Related Chargeable Features for an accounting interval are:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
An organization’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance is:-
- The quantity specified within the firm’s tax return, or
- Nil, if no quantity is specified.
The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance could not exceed:-
- The quantity of the corporate’s deductions allowance, much less the entire of
- Any quantity specified of buying and selling revenue deductions allowance, plus
- Any quantity specified of non-trading revenue earnings deductions allowance, plus
- Any quantity specified of BLAGAB Deductions Allowance (see Part 10 under).
The place the accounting interval is for a interval of 12 months, the entire quantity of deductions allowance out there to a bunch is £5 million. This quantity is diminished proportionately for accounting intervals of lower than 12 months. There’s particular provision for sure corporations with out a supply of chargeable revenue who’ve very brief accounting intervals, see Part 7 under.
An organization’s Qualifying Chargeable Features are:-
- The corporate’s chargeable positive factors included in complete earnings (see Step 3 under), much less
- Any quantity that may be set in opposition to complete earnings which is allotted to chargeable positive factors (see Step 4 under).
Within the allocation above, the quantity allotted could not cut back the chargeable positive factors under nil.
An organization’s Whole Related Non-Buying and selling Earnings is:-
- The corporate’s qualifying non-trading revenue earnings for the interval, plus
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Non-Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance.
The Non-Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance is the sum of:-
- The corporate’s non-trading revenue deductions allowance, and
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
Calculation of CCLR
The steps from the CILR have been modified to incorporate the CCLR. Specifically, non-trading earnings have now been separated into non-trading revenue earnings and chargeable positive factors.
Step 1
Calculate the modified earnings for the corporate, excluding sure carried-forward losses as set out in CTA/S269ZF(4) (see CTM05040). Carried-forward capital losses at the moment are additionally excluded in calculating the modified earnings.
If the entire modified earnings are nil (or much less) no additional computation is required, else transfer onto Step 2.
Step 2
Calculate the entire quantity of reliefs that may be set in opposition to the corporate’s complete earnings for the accounting interval. That is the Step 2 Quantity.
Step 3
Divide the entire earnings into:-
- Buying and selling earnings
- Non-trading revenue earnings
- Chargeable positive factors
If no carried-forward capital losses are being offset, the chargeable positive factors needn’t be separated from the non-trading revenue earnings.
Step 4
The Step 2 Quantity should be allotted between:-
- Buying and selling earnings
- Non-trading revenue earnings
- Chargeable positive factors
The corporate can allocate its reliefs because it needs however the quantities can’t cut back the earnings or positive factors under nil.
Step 5
The Step 3 quantities as diminished by the Step 4 quantities kind:-
- The corporate’s qualifying buying and selling earnings,
- The corporate’s qualifying non-trading revenue earnings, and
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features.
Deductions Allowance
The corporate should calculate the utmost quantity of deductions allowance due, then allocate this, because it chooses and as is required, between:-
- An quantity of buying and selling revenue deductions allowance,
- An quantity of non-trading revenue earnings deductions allowance,
- An quantity of BLAGAB Deductions Allowance (see Part 10 under), and
- An quantity of Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
Calculate the Related Chargeable Features
As above, that is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
This quantity can’t be under nil, so the quantity of Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance is restricted accordingly.
Calculate the Related Most
As above that is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Chargeable Features for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
Carried-forward capital losses as much as this quantity could also be deducted in computing the corporate’s complete earnings.
Compute the remaining components of the restriction
The Qualifying Chargeable Features will now kind a part of the computation of the Related Most for Non-Buying and selling Earnings.
Any carried-forward non-trading revenue losses should now be restricted in accordance with the amended guidelines in CTA10/S296ZC.
Individually, any restriction to carried-forward buying and selling losses, as required by CTA10/S269ZB must be computed.
Any restriction to the carried-forward losses which could be offset in opposition to complete earnings, as required by CTA10/S269ZD must be computed.
Extra particulars on these computations could be discovered within the CILR steerage at CTM05000.
Instance 1 – CCLR solely (simplified)
An organization has the next carried-forward losses:-
| Capital losses | £15 million |
|—————-|————–|
Within the 12 months ended 31 December 20X8, the corporate makes the next earnings and positive factors:-
Capital positive factors | £11 million |
---|---|
Capital losses | £1 million |
Property earnings | £3 million |
Buying and selling earnings | £5 million |
Non-trading mortgage relationship (NTLR) deficits | £2 million |
Step 1
The corporate’s modified earnings shall be:-
Capital positive factors of the interval | £11 million |
---|---|
Much less capital losses of the interval | £1 million |
Plus property earnings | £3 million |
Plus buying and selling earnings | £5 million |
The modified earnings are subsequently £18 million. These are larger than nil so we’ll progress to Step 2.
Step 2
The reliefs that may be set in opposition to the corporate’s complete earnings for the accounting interval are, on this case, the NTLR deficits.
The Step 2 Quantity is subsequently £2 million.
Step 3
Divide the entire earnings into:-
- Buying and selling earnings
- Non-trading revenue earnings
- Chargeable positive factors
On this case, the buying and selling earnings are £5 million.
The non-trading revenue earnings are £3 million (the property earnings).
The chargeable positive factors are £10 million (the capital positive factors of the interval (£11 million) much less the capital losses of the interval (£1 million)).
Step 4
The corporate can allocate the Step 2 Quantity of £2 million because it needs to both the buying and selling earnings, non-trading revenue earnings or chargeable positive factors or a mixture of those (however not in order to cut back any one in every of these under nil).
On this case, we’ll assume that the corporate will allocate the £2 million to buying and selling earnings.
Step 5
Following Step 4, the quantities shall be:-
Qualifying buying and selling earnings | £3 million |
---|---|
Qualifying non-trading revenue earnings | £3 million |
Qualifying Chargeable Features | £10 million |
Deductions Allowance
The corporate can select the right way to allocate its £5 million deductions allowance. On this case, because it solely has carried-forward capital losses it can allocate £5 million to its Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
Calculate the Related Chargeable Features
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Chargeable Features are subsequently £10 million much less £5 million = £5 million.
Calculate the Related Most
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Chargeable Features for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most is subsequently 50% of £5 million (= £2.5 million) plus £5 million = £7.5 million.
The carried-forward capital losses will subsequently be restricted to £7.5 million.
Compute the remaining components of the restriction
There aren’t any different losses to be restricted, so the entire earnings can now be computed:-
Capital positive factors of the interval | £11 million |
---|---|
Much less capital losses of the interval | £1 million |
Much less carried-forward capital losses (restricted) | £7.5 million |
Plus property earnings | £3 million |
Plus buying and selling earnings | £5 million |
Much less NTLR deficits | £2 million |
The full earnings chargeable to Company Tax are subsequently £8.5 million.
Instance 2 – CCLR & CILR
An organization has the next carried-forward losses:-
Capital losses | £40 million |
---|---|
Buying and selling losses (pre-2017) | £30 million |
NTLR deficits (post-2017) | £5 million |
Administration bills | £9 million |
Within the 12 months ended 31 December 20X8, the corporate makes the next earnings and positive factors:-
Capital positive factors | £17 million |
---|---|
Capital losses | £1 million |
Non-trading revenue earnings | £15 million |
Buying and selling earnings | £9 million |
NTLR deficits | £8 million |
Step 1
The corporate’s modified earnings shall be:-
Capital positive factors of the interval | £17 million |
---|---|
Much less capital losses of the interval | £1 million |
Plus non-trading revenue earnings | £15 million |
Plus buying and selling earnings | £9 million |
The modified earnings are subsequently £40 million. These are larger than nil so we’ll progress to Step 2.
Step 2
The reliefs that may be set in opposition to the corporate’s complete earnings for the accounting interval are, on this case, the NTLR deficits.
The Step 2 Quantity is subsequently £8 million.
Step 3
Divide the entire earnings into:-
- Buying and selling earnings
- Non-trading revenue earnings
- Chargeable positive factors
On this case, the buying and selling earnings are £9 million.
The non-trading revenue earnings are £15 million (the property earnings).
The chargeable positive factors are £16 million (the capital positive factors of the interval (£17 million) much less the capital losses of the interval (£1 million)).
Step 4
The corporate can allocate the Step 2 Quantity of £8 million because it needs to both the buying and selling earnings, non-trading revenue earnings or chargeable positive factors or a mixture of those (however not in order to cut back any one in every of these under nil).
On this case, we’ll assume that the corporate will allocate the in-year reliefs as follows:-
- £2 million to buying and selling earnings,
- £3 million to non-trading revenue earnings, and
- £3 million to chargeable positive factors.
Step 5
Following Step 4, the quantities shall be:-
Qualifying buying and selling earnings | £7 million |
---|---|
Qualifying non-trading revenue earnings | £12 million |
Qualifying Chargeable Features | £13 million |
Deductions Allowance
The corporate can select the right way to allocate its £5 million deductions allowance. On this case, the corporate may allocate as much as £5 million as Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance, £5 million as Non-Buying and selling Revenue Earnings Deductions Allowance and as much as £5 million as Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance (however restricted to £5 million general).
On this case, the corporate decides to allocate:-
- £3 million to its Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance, and
- £2 million to its Non-Buying and selling Revenue Earnings Deductions Allowance.
Calculate the Related Chargeable Features
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Chargeable Features are subsequently £13 million much less £3 million = £10 million.
Calculate the Related Most for chargeable positive factors
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Chargeable Features for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most for chargeable positive factors is subsequently 50% of £10 million (= £5 million) plus £3 million = £8 million.
The carried-forward capital losses will subsequently be restricted to £8 million.
Compute the remaining components of the restriction
Calculate the Related Buying and selling Earnings
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Buying and selling Earnings (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance.
The Related Buying and selling Earnings are subsequently £7 million much less £ nil = £7 million.
Calculate the Related Most for buying and selling earnings
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Buying and selling Earnings for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most for buying and selling earnings is subsequently 50% of £7 million (= £3.5 million) plus £ nil = £3.5 million.
The carried-forward buying and selling losses will subsequently be restricted to £3.5 million.
Calculate the Related Non-Buying and selling Earnings
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Non-Buying and selling Earnings (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Non-Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance.
The Qualifying Non-Buying and selling Earnings are:-
- The Qualifying Non-Buying and selling Revenue Earnings, plus
- The Qualifying Chargeable Features.
The Qualifying Non-Buying and selling Earnings are subsequently £12 million plus £13 million = £25 million.
The Non-Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance is:-
- The Non-Buying and selling Revenue Earnings Deductions Allowance, plus
- The Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Non-Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance is subsequently £2 million plus £3 million = £5 million.
The Related Non-Buying and selling Earnings are subsequently £25 million much less £5 million = £20 million.
Calculate the Related Most for non-trading earnings
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Non-Buying and selling Earnings for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Non-Buying and selling Earnings Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most for non-trading earnings is subsequently 50% of £20 million (= £10 million) plus £5 million = £15 million.
The full carried-forward losses which could be set in opposition to non-trading earnings shall be restricted to £15 million. Of this, £8 million capital losses have been used. That leaves £7 million non-trading earnings that may be offset with applicable carried-forward revenue losses comparable to pre-2017 NTLR deficits, had been there to be any.
Calculate the Related Whole Earnings
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Whole Earnings (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Deductions Allowance.
The Related Whole Earnings are subsequently £32 million much less £5 million = £27 million.
Calculate the Related Most for complete earnings
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Whole Earnings for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most for complete earnings is subsequently 50% of £27 million (= £13.5 million) plus £5 million = £18.5 million.
Use of losses
The corporate can offset carried-forward losses as much as a most quantity of £18.5 million.
Particularly, the corporate can offset carried-forward losses as much as:-
- £8 million which might solely be offset in opposition to capital positive factors (A),
- £3.5 million which might solely be offset in opposition to buying and selling earnings (B),
- £15 million which might solely be offset in opposition to non-trading earnings (C). This contains losses that may be set in opposition to non-trading revenue earnings and chargeable positive factors topic to a discount for any losses utilized in A.
- £18.5 million which could be offset in opposition to complete earnings (D) topic to a discount for any losses utilized in A to C.
The one kind of losses out there to make use of below A are carried-forward capital losses.
The one kind of losses out there to make use of below B (on this instance) are pre-2017 buying and selling losses.
There solely kind of losses out there to make use of below C on this instance are the carried-forward capital losses.
The post-2017 NTLR deficits and the administration bills can be found (on this instance) to make use of below D.
The corporate is free to decide on the right way to make up the £18.5 million losses that it’s allowed to offset inside the above restrictions. On this instance, we’ll assume that it makes use of the next:-
Carried-forward capital losses (A) | £8 million |
---|---|
Carried-forward pre-2017 buying and selling losses (B) | £3.5 million |
Carried-forward post-2017 NTLR deficits (D) | £5 million |
Carried-forward administration bills (D) | £2 million |
Calculate the Whole Earnings
The full earnings shall be:-
Capital positive factors of the interval | £17 million |
---|---|
Much less capital losses of the interval | £1 million |
Much less carried-forward capital losses (restricted) | £8 million |
Plus buying and selling earnings | £9 million |
Much less carried-forward pre-2017 buying and selling losses (restricted) | £3.5 million |
Plus non-trading revenue earnings | £15 million |
Much less carried-forward post-2017 NTLR deficits (restricted) | £5 million |
Much less carried-forward administration bills (restricted) | £2 million |
Much less NTLR deficits | £8 million |
The full earnings chargeable to Company Tax are subsequently £13.5 million.
The unused losses out there to hold ahead are:-
Capital losses | £32 million |
---|---|
Buying and selling losses (pre-2017) | £26.5 million |
NTLR deficits (post-2017) | £ nil |

Interplay of CCLR with clogged losses
FB20/Sch 3 Para 17 (now FA20/Sch 4 Para 17)
TCGA92/S18
The place a clogged loss (a loss arising from a transaction with a linked particular person) is carried ahead it may possibly solely be set off in opposition to positive factors arising from disposals to that very same particular person when they’re nonetheless linked (TCGA92/S18(3)), see CG14561.
Because the CCLR requires in-year losses to be offset as opposed to carried-forward losses, the CCLR will limit the usage of carried-forward clogged losses, particularly the place there are in-year losses which aren’t clogged.
An organization could make a declare to swap an quantity of in-year losses with carried-forward clogged losses.
Clogged Loss Declare
An organization could make a declare in an accounting interval when:-
- It has carried-forward clogged losses;
- It makes a capital achieve within the accounting interval in opposition to which the clogged losses might be offset; and
- It makes a capital loss within the accounting interval which isn’t clogged.
The place an organization makes a sound declare:-
- The quantity of specified carried-forward clogged losses are handled as losses arising within the accounting interval;
- The identical quantity of losses which arose within the accounting interval are handled as losses carried-forward from a earlier accounting interval.
The required quantity of losses is restricted to the lessor of:-
- The full quantity of carried-forward clogged losses;
- The positive factors of the accounting interval in opposition to which the clogged losses could be offset below s18(3); or
- The losses of the accounting interval.
Instance 3 – Clogged losses
A Ltd makes a disposal of an asset to B Ltd (a linked particular person) in an accounting interval, leading to a achieve of £7 million accruing.
In the identical accounting interval, A Ltd disposes of property (to not linked individuals), leading to losses of £2 million accruing.
A Ltd has carried-forward clogged losses of £5 million which accrued from a earlier disposal to B Ltd.
A Ltd is an element of a bigger group which has already utilised the £5 million deductions allowance.
No declare
Below the CCLR, if no declare is made, the Related Chargeable Features are:-
- Features of the accounting interval (£7 million), much less
- Losses of the accounting interval (£2 million), much less
- Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance (£ nil).
The Related Chargeable Features are £5 million.
The Related Most positive factors are £2.5 million (50% of £5 million plus any Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance).
The carried-forward clogged losses which can be utilized to offset positive factors are subsequently restricted to £2.5 million.
The online chargeable positive factors of the accounting interval, after making use of the CCLR, shall be £2.5 million and clogged losses of £2.5 million (£5 million – £2.5 million) shall be carried ahead.
Declare
The three circumstances, as set out above, for the corporate to have the ability to make a declare are met.
The quantity of losses that the corporate can specify is the lessor of:-
- The full quantity of carried-forward clogged losses (£5 million);
- The positive factors of the accounting interval in opposition to which the clogged losses could be offset below s18(3) (£7 million);
- The losses of the accounting interval (£2 million).
On this case, the quantity is £2 million. If the corporate claims the total quantity, the carried-forward clogged losses and in-year losses shall be swapped.
The Related Chargeable Features shall be:-
- Features of the accounting interval (£7 million), much less
- Claimed quantity of carried-forward clogged losses (£2 million), much less
- Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance (£ nil).
The Related Chargeable Features are £5 million.
The Related Most positive factors are £2.5 million (50% of £5 million).
On account of the declare the corporate now has carried-forward clogged losses of £3 million and common carried-forward losses of £2 million. The corporate can allocate its losses as much as the £2.5 million restrict because it chooses.
On this case, the corporate can use its clogged losses, so will allocate £2.5 million of the carried-forward clogged losses. The rest of the clogged losses of £0.5 million (£5 million – £2 million – £2.5 million) shall be carried-forward, together with the £2 million of normal losses.
The declare doesn’t end in any change within the quantity of losses that may be offset within the accounting interval, or which might be carried ahead, however does change the quantity of clogged losses that may be offset.
-
Interplay of CCLR with pre-entry losses
FB20/Sch 3 Para 18 (now FA20/Sch 4 Para 18)
TCGA92/Sch 7A
Carried-forward pre-entry losses (see CG47400P) don’t kind a part of the final carried-forward capital losses of an organization however the CCLR nonetheless applies to those losses.
In-year (non-pre-entry) losses should usually be deducted first when computing the CCLR, however the place an organization has carried-forward pre-entry losses, the CCLR is calculated to limit the carried-forward losses however the firm can then, inside the restricted restrict, offset the pre-entry losses as opposed to the in-year losses. Any losses in extra of the restricted quantity can’t be offset and should be carried-forward.
Instance 4 – Pre-entry losses
An organization has carried-forward pre-entry losses of £50 million.
In an accounting interval, the corporate disposes of varied property, leading to complete positive factors of £16 million and losses of £7 million. Of the positive factors, £13 million are positive factors in opposition to which the pre-entry losses might be offset.
Firstly, calculate the Related Chargeable Features of the accounting interval:-
- Features of the accounting interval (£16 million), much less
- Losses of the accounting interval (£7 million), much less
- Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance (assume for this instance £ nil).
The Related Chargeable Features are £9 million.
Second, calculate the Related Most positive factors, that are £4.5 million (50% of £9 million plus any Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance).
Third, calculate the entire losses which could be offset within the accounting interval:-
- Losses of the accounting interval (£7 million), plus
- The lessor of the Related Most positive factors (£4.5 million) or the carried-forward losses (together with any pre-entry losses) (£50 million) – On this case, £4.5 million.
The full losses which could be offset are £11.5 million on this case.
The corporate can select which losses to allocate in opposition to positive factors. The conventional guidelines referring to pre-entry losses apply so solely as much as £13 million of the pre-entry losses could be offset in opposition to the suitable positive factors.
On this case, the corporate can allocate £11.5 million of its pre-entry losses in opposition to positive factors. The remaining £38.5 million of pre-entry losses (£50 million – £11.5 million) should be carried ahead together with the £7 million of in-year losses.
Instance 5 – Pre-entry losses
An organization has carried-forward pre-entry losses of £50 million.
In an accounting interval, the corporate disposes of varied property, leading to complete positive factors of £16 million and losses of £7 million. Of the positive factors, £3 million are positive factors in opposition to which the pre-entry losses might be offset.
Firstly, calculate the Related Chargeable Features of the accounting interval:-
- Features of the accounting interval (£16 million), much less
- Losses of the accounting interval (£7 million), much less
- Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance (assume for this instance £ nil).
The Related Chargeable Features are £9 million.
Second, calculate the Related Most positive factors, that are £4.5 million (50% of £9 million plus any Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance).
Third, calculate the entire losses which could be offset within the accounting interval:-
- Losses of the accounting interval (£7 million), plus
- The lessor of the Related Most positive factors (£4.5 million) or the carried-forward losses (together with any pre-entry losses) (£50 million) – On this case, £4.5 million.
The full losses which could be offset are £11.5 million on this case.
The corporate can select which losses to allocate in opposition to positive factors. The conventional guidelines referring to pre-entry losses apply so solely as much as £3 million of the pre-entry losses could be offset in opposition to the suitable positive factors.
On this case, the corporate can allocate £3 million of its pre-entry losses in opposition to positive factors. The corporate can then allocate the £7 million in-year losses in opposition to positive factors. No additional losses could be utilised.
The remaining £47 million of pre-entry losses (£50 million – £3 million) should be carried ahead.

Anti-avoidance preparations
FB20/Sch 3 Para 23 (now FA20/Sch 4 Para 23)
F(No.2)A17/S19
The present anti-avoidance guidelines for CILR (see CTM07900) are prolonged to incorporate carried-forward capital losses from 1 April 2020.
The prolonged a part of the foundations will apply to accounting intervals commencing on and after 1 April 2020.
The place an organization has a Straddling Interval (see Part 5 under), the prolonged a part of the anti-avoidance rule for carried-forward capital losses can have impact just for the Put up-Graduation Interval. The anti-forestalling rule (see Part 6 under) can have impact for the Pre-Graduation Interval.
-
Graduation provisions
FB20/Sch 3 Paras 42 to 45 (now FA20/Sch 4, Pt 3, Paras 42 to 45)
The steerage on this part covers the graduation provisions for the CCLR.
Two principal areas are thought of. The primary is the place an accounting interval straddles the 1 April 2020 graduation date; the steerage advises what particular therapy is required on this situation and contains examples.
The second is a particular provision for non-UK resident property companies that are chargeable to Revenue Tax for the tax 12 months 2019-20 and chargeable to Company Tax from 6 April 2020. Such corporations could also be chargeable to Company Tax between 1 and 5 April 2020 on account of a capital achieve (or loss); the graduation therapy for such corporations is defined along with examples.
5A. Straddling intervals
A1 – Introduction
The CCLR applies to corporations the place an accounting interval commences on or after 1 April 2020. The place an accounting interval commences earlier than 1 April 2020 however ends on or after 1 April 2020 transitional guidelines apply.
An accounting interval which commences earlier than 1 April 2020 however ends on or after 1 April 2020 known as a Straddling Interval. This era is then cut up into two notional accounting intervals for the needs of capital positive factors and losses solely.
The Pre-Graduation Interval runs from the graduation of the Straddling Interval to 31 March 2020.
The Put up-Graduation Interval runs from 1 April 2020 to the top of the Straddling Interval.
Instance 6 – Splitting the Straddling Interval
An organization has an accounting interval for the 12 months ended 31 December 2020.
It is a Straddling Interval because it straddles the 1 April 2020 date.
The Pre-Graduation Interval will run from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020.
The Put up-Graduation Interval will run from 1 April 2020 to 31 December 2020.
A2 – Allocation of capital positive factors and losses
The corporate will then must allocate all capital positive factors and losses that accrue through the Straddling Interval to the Pre-Graduation Interval or Put up-Graduation Interval.
This allocation must be in accordance with the conventional date of disposal guidelines for capital positive factors, see CG14250P.
Instance 7 – Allocation of capital positive factors and losses
The corporate within the above instance makes quite a few disposals within the 12 months ended 31 December 2020 as follows:-
- Disposal of property A on 4 Could 2020 below a contract exchanged on 24 March 2020;
- Disposal of property B on 16 September 2020 below a contract exchanged on 1 August 2020;
- Disposal of shares in C Ltd on 8 June 2020;
- Disposal of shares in D Ltd on 22 February 2020;
- A cost acquired for granting of an easement E (a deemed disposal) on 6 March 2020, which was paid on 7 April 2020;
- A component disposal of land F by grant of a lease on 4 July 2020 below a lease contract dated 3 June 2020.
The dates of disposal shall be:-
- Property A – 24 March 2020 (below Part 28 TCGA);
- Property B – 1 August 2020 (below Part 28 TCGA);
- Shares C – 8 June 2020;
- Shares D – 22 February 2020;
- Easement E – 7 April 2020 (below Part 22 TCGA);
- Lease F – 3 June 2020 (below Part 28 TCGA).
Subsequently, disposals A & D will accrue within the Pre-Graduation Interval and disposal B, C, E and F will accrue within the Put up-Graduation Interval.
A3 – Calculation of in-year positive factors and losses
After positive factors and losses have been allotted to the Pre-Graduation Interval and Put up-Graduation Interval the next calculations could be made on this order:-
- Compute the online positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval;
- Establish any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval;
- Compute the online positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval;
- Establish any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval;
- Allocate any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval to the Pre-Graduation Interval;
- Allocate any carried-forward capital losses to the Pre-Graduation Interval with out restriction;
- Allocate any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval to the Put up-Graduation Interval.
Instance 8 – Calculation of in-year positive factors and losses
Utilizing the disposals within the above instance, the positive factors and losses accruing are as follows:-
Property A | Acquire of £1,250,000 |
---|---|
Property B | Acquire of £8,000,000 |
Shares C | Lack of £500,000 |
Shares D | Lack of £2,600,000 |
Easement E | Acquire of £100,000 |
Lease F | Acquire of £400,000 |
The corporate has carried-forward capital losses of £15 million.
1. Compute the online positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval
Property A | £1,250,000 |
---|---|
Shares D | (£2,600,000) |
Whole positive factors | £1,250,000 |
Much less losses utilised | (£1,250,000) |
Web positive factors | £ nil |
2. Establish any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval
Whole losses from Pre-Graduation Interval | £2,600,000 |
---|---|
Much less utilised losses | (£1,250,000) |
Extra losses of Pre-Graduation Interval | £1,350,000 |
3. Compute the online positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval
Property B | £8,000,000 |
---|---|
Shares C | (£500,000) |
Easement E | £100,000 |
Lease F | £400,000 |
Whole positive factors | £8,500,000 |
Much less losses utilised | (£500,000) |
Web positive factors | £8,000,000 |
4. Establish any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval
Whole losses from Put up-Graduation Interval | £500,000 |
---|---|
Much less utilised losses | (£500,000) |
Extra losses of Put up-Graduation Interval | £ nil |
5. Allocate any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval to the Pre-Graduation Interval
On this instance, there aren’t any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval.
6. Allocate any carried-forward capital losses to the Pre-Graduation Interval with out restriction
The corporate has carried-forward capital losses of £15 million.As the online positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval are already nil, not one of the carried-forward capital losses could be offset at this stage.
7. Allocate any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval to the Put up-Graduation Interval
Web achieve of Put up-Graduation Interval | £8,000,000 |
---|---|
Extra losses of Pre-Graduation Interval | (£1,350,000) |
Revised web positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval | £6,650,000 |
A4 – Utility of the Company Capital Loss Restriction
The CCLR will solely apply to the Put up-Graduation Interval the place losses have been carried ahead from earlier than the Pre-Graduation Interval. Losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval that are utilised within the Put up-Graduation Interval are usually not restricted.
There isn’t a requirement to apportion the deductions allowance for the Put up-Graduation Interval the place the Straddling Interval is for a full 12 months, so the deductions allowance due shall be £5 million.
While the Put up-Graduation Interval has been separated for capital positive factors and losses, there is no such thing as a must apportion different positive factors, earnings and losses, so these are thought of on an entire accounting interval foundation.
Instance 9 – CCLR
Within the above instance, the corporate has:-
Carried-forward capital losses | £15 million as at 31 December 2019 |
---|---|
Carried-forward buying and selling losses | £30 million |
Buying and selling earnings | £16 million |
Non-trading mortgage relationship deficits | £2 million |
The corporate specifies that its Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance is £5 million.
As proven above, the revised web positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval are nil and the revised web positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval are £6,650,000. The corporate should use in-year capital losses earlier than carried-forward capital losses, so no carried-forward capital losses could be offset within the Pre-Graduation Interval on this case.
Step 1
The corporate’s modified earnings shall be:-
Capital positive factors of the interval | £9.75 million |
---|---|
Much less capital losses of the interval | £3.1 million |
Much less c/f capital losses offset in Pre-Graduation Interval | £ nil |
Plus buying and selling earnings | £16 million |
Much less NTLR deficits | £2 million |
The modified earnings are subsequently £20.65 million. These are larger than nil so we’ll progress to Step 2.
Step 2
The reliefs that may be set in opposition to the corporate’s complete earnings for the accounting interval are, on this case, the non-trading mortgage relationship (NTLR) deficits.
The Step 2 Quantity is subsequently £2 million.
Step 3
Divide the entire earnings into:-
- Buying and selling earnings
- Non-trading revenue earnings
- Chargeable positive factors
On this case, the buying and selling earnings are £16 million.
The non-trading revenue earnings are £ nil.
The chargeable positive factors are £6.65 million.
For this step we take into account the buying and selling earnings and non-trading revenue earnings of the entire accounting interval however the chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval solely.
Step 4
The corporate can allocate the Step 2 Quantity of £2 million because it needs to both the buying and selling earnings, non-trading revenue earnings or chargeable positive factors (for the latter just for the Put up-Graduation Interval) or a mixture of those (however not in order to cut back any one in every of these under nil).
On this case, we’ll assume that the corporate will allocate the £2 million to buying and selling earnings.
Word that if the Step 2 Quantity is ready in opposition to the chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval, there is no such thing as a must determine or apportion the Step 2 Quantity in line with the Pre-Graduation or Put up-Graduation Durations.
Step 5
Following Step 4, the quantities shall be:-
Qualifying buying and selling earnings | £14 million |
---|---|
Qualifying non-trading revenue earnings | £ nil |
Qualifying Chargeable Features | £6.65 million |
Deductions Allowance
The corporate can select the right way to allocate its £5 million deductions allowance.
On this case, the corporate has specified that its Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance shall be £5 million.
Word that the utmost quantity of deductions allowance is set by reference to the entire accounting interval (on this case a 12 months, so £5 million is obtainable). The entire quantity is then doubtlessly out there for the Put up-Graduation Interval’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance and needn’t be apportioned additional.
Calculate the Related Chargeable Features
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Chargeable Features are subsequently £6.65 million much less £5 million = £1.65 million.
Calculate the Related Most
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Chargeable Features for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most is subsequently 50% of £1.65 million (= £0.825 million) plus £5 million = £5.825 million.
The carried-forward capital losses will subsequently be restricted to £5.825 million for the Put up-Graduation Interval.
Compute the remaining components of the restriction
These calculations are usually not proven in full right here however the carried-forward buying and selling losses shall be restricted to £7 million (50% of the qualifying buying and selling earnings).
The online chargeable positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval are nil (as set out above).
The online chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval are:-
Web chargeable positive factors earlier than c/f capital losses | £6,650,000 |
---|---|
Much less carried-forward capital losses (restricted) | £5,825,000 |
Web chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval | £825,000 |
The chargeable positive factors of the entire interval are:-
Web chargeable positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval | £ nil |
---|---|
Web chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval | £825,000 |
Whole web chargeable positive factors | £825,000 |
The full earnings shall be:-
Web capital positive factors of the interval | £0.825 million |
---|---|
Plus buying and selling earnings | £16 million |
Much less carried-forward buying and selling losses (restricted) | £7 million |
Much less NTLR deficits | £2 million |
The full earnings chargeable to Company Tax are subsequently £7.825 million.
Instance 10 – CCLR (with web positive factors in Pre-Graduation Interval)
An organization has the next for an accounting interval ended 31 December 2020:-
Carried-forward capital losses | £15 million as at 31 December 2019 |
---|---|
Carried-forward buying and selling losses | £30 million as at 31 December 2019 |
Buying and selling earnings | £16 million |
NTLR deficits | £2 million |
The corporate disposes of two property through the interval ensuing within the following capital positive factors:-
1 March 2020 | £6 million |
---|---|
1 September 2020 | £7 million |
The corporate accrues no capital losses inside the interval.
The corporate specifies that its Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance is £5 million.
1. Compute the online positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval
1 March 2020 disposal | £6 million |
---|---|
Whole positive factors | £6 million |
Much less losses utilised | £ nil |
Web positive factors | £6 million |
2. Establish any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval
There aren’t any extra losses on this instance.
3. Compute the online positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval
1 September 2020 disposal | £7 million |
---|---|
Whole positive factors | £7 million |
Much less losses utilised | £ nil |
Web positive factors | £7 million |
4. Establish any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval
There aren’t any extra losses on this instance.
5. Allocate any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval to the Pre-Graduation Interval
On this instance, there aren’t any extra losses from the Put up-Graduation Interval.
6. Allocate any carried-forward capital losses to the Pre-Graduation Interval with out restriction
The corporate has carried-forward capital losses of £15 million.
Pre-Graduation Interval positive factors | £6 million |
---|---|
Much less c/f capital losses | £6 million |
Web capital positive factors of Pre-Graduation Interval | £ nil |
These carried-forward capital losses are offset with out restriction.
7. Allocate any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval to the Put up-Graduation Interval
On this instance, there aren’t any extra losses from the Pre-Graduation Interval.
Subsequently the Pre-Graduation Interval capital positive factors are nil and the Put up-Graduation Interval capital positive factors are £7 million.
The CCLR can now be computed.
Step 1
The corporate’s modified earnings shall be:-
Capital positive factors of the interval | £13 million |
---|---|
Much less capital losses of the interval | £ nil |
Much less c/f capital losses offset in nPre-Graduation Interval | £6 million |
Plus buying and selling earnings | £16 million |
Much less NTLR deficits | £2 million |
The modified earnings are subsequently £21 million. These are larger than nil so we’ll progress to Step 2.
Step 2
The reliefs that may be set in opposition to the corporate’s complete earnings for the accounting interval are, on this case, the non-trading mortgage relationship (NTLR) deficits.
The Step 2 Quantity is subsequently £2 million.
Step 3
Divide the entire earnings into:-
- Buying and selling earnings
- Non-trading revenue earnings
- Chargeable positive factors
On this case, the buying and selling earnings are £16 million.
The non-trading revenue earnings are £ nil.
The chargeable positive factors are £7 million.
For this step we take into account the buying and selling earnings and non-trading revenue earnings of the entire accounting interval however the chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval solely.
Step 4
The corporate can allocate the Step 2 Quantity of £2 million because it needs to both the buying and selling earnings, non-trading revenue earnings or chargeable positive factors (of the Put up-Graduation Interval) or a mixture of those (however not in order to cut back any one in every of these under nil).
On this case, we’ll assume that the corporate will allocate the £2 million to buying and selling earnings.
Word that if the Step 2 Quantity is ready in opposition to the chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval, there is no such thing as a must determine or apportion the Step 2 Quantity in line with the Pre-Graduation or Put up-Graduation Durations.
Step 5
Following Step 4, the quantities shall be:-
Qualifying buying and selling earnings | £14 million |
---|---|
Qualifying non-trading revenue earnings | £ nil |
Qualifying Chargeable Features | £7 million |
Deductions Allowance
The corporate can select the right way to allocate its £5 million deductions allowance.
On this case, the corporate has specified that its Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance shall be £5 million.
Word that the utmost quantity of deductions allowance is set by reference to the entire accounting interval (on this case a 12 months, so £5 million is obtainable). The entire quantity is then doubtlessly out there for the Put up-Graduation Interval’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance and needn’t be apportioned additional.
Calculate the Related Chargeable Features
That is:-
- The corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features (from Step 5 above) for the interval, much less
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Chargeable Features are subsequently £7 million much less £5 million = £2 million.
Calculate the Related Most
That is:-
- 50% of the corporate’s Related Chargeable Features for the accounting interval, plus
- The corporate’s Chargeable Features Deductions Allowance.
The Related Most is subsequently 50% of £2 million (= £1 million) plus £5 million = £6 million.
The carried-forward capital losses will subsequently be restricted to £6 million for the Put up-Graduation Interval.
Compute the remaining components of the restriction
These calculations are usually not proven in full right here however the carried-forward buying and selling losses shall be restricted to £7 million (50% of the qualifying buying and selling earnings).
The online chargeable positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval are nil (as set out above).
The online chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval are:-
Web chargeable positive factors earlier than c/f capital losses | £7 million |
---|---|
Much less carried-forward capital losses (restricted) | £6 million |
Web chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval | £1 million |
The chargeable positive factors of the entire interval are:-
Web chargeable positive factors of the Pre-Graduation Interval | £ nil |
---|---|
Web chargeable positive factors of the Put up-Graduation Interval | £1 million |
Whole web chargeable positive factors | £1 million |
The full earnings shall be:-
Web capital positive factors of the interval | £1 million |
---|---|
Plus buying and selling earnings | £16 million |
Much less carried-forward buying and selling losses (restricted) | £7 million |
Much less NTLR deficits | £2 million |
The full earnings chargeable to Company Tax are subsequently £8 million.
A5 – BLAGAB
The place an organization has BLAGAB, see Part 10 under, the corporate ought to compute its BLAGAB and non-BLAGAB positive factors and losses within the regular method.
The place carried-forward losses shall be restricted by the CCLR, as set out in Part 10, the graduation guidelines for Straddling Durations will apply.
Subsequently, if an organization with BLAGAB has carried-forward non-BLAGAB capital losses which it intends to set in opposition to the shareholders’ share of BLAGAB positive factors, the BLAGAB positive factors will should be apportioned to the Pre-Graduation Interval and the Put up-Graduation Interval. The carried-forward non-BLAGAB capital losses which might be offset within the Put up-Graduation Interval shall be topic to the CCLR.
Broadly, there are two forms of disposals made by corporations writing BLAGAB:
- These accrued on an precise realisation foundation (for instance unit linked fund disposals, property positive factors, different straight held investments) – referred to right here as “Regular Disposals” and
- These deemed to have accrued on the finish of the Accounting Interval by s212 TCGA, which embrace positive factors and losses on holdings in sure collective funding schemes, and that are unfold over 7 years by s213. – referred to right here as “Part 212 disposals”.
So as to apportion BLAGAB positive factors to the Pre-Graduation Interval and the Put up-Graduation Interval, the graduation provisions are to be interpreted as deeming there to be an finish of an accounting interval for Part 212 disposal functions on the finish of the pre graduation interval, in addition to on the finish of the submit graduation interval.
The Regular disposals shall be allotted to the Pre-Graduation Interval and the Put up-Graduation Interval in line with once they come up.
The graduation provisions are solely meant to have an effect on chargeable positive factors, subsequently the shareholders share of any BLAGAB positive factors is to be calculated within the regular method on the total accounting interval foundation, a single I-E computation for the accounting interval is preserved.
5B. Non-UK resident property companies
The place an organization, which isn’t in any other case chargeable to Company Tax, disposes of an curiosity in UK property leading to a capital achieve or loss, it can grow to be chargeable to Company Tax on the date of the disposal. The next day, it can not be chargeable to Company Tax so it can have an accounting interval which begins and ends on the identical day (a one-day accounting interval).
Particular provisions for corporations with out a supply of chargeable revenue (one-day accounting intervals) is being made (see Part 7 under).
Sure non-UK resident property companies are chargeable to Revenue Tax within the Tax 12 months 2019-20. Nonetheless, if such corporations eliminate a UK property curiosity throughout that tax 12 months, any achieve on that disposal shall be chargeable to Company Tax (leading to a one-day accounting interval).
Non-UK resident property companies are chargeable to Company Tax from 6 April 2020 onwards.
The therapy for corporations with out a supply of chargeable revenue (as in Part 7) is not going to apply the place an organization has a one-day accounting interval between 1 April 2020 and 5 April 2020 if the corporate then turns into chargeable to Company Tax on 6 April 2020.
The graduation provisions subsequently lengthen the one-day accounting interval provision to cowl corporations on this state of affairs and allow sure losses to be moved from one interval to a different with out restriction.
B1 – Circumstances
These graduation provisions (loss provision and one-day accounting provision) apply the place the next circumstances are met by an organization:-
- It’s a non-UK resident firm which carries on a UK property enterprise or has different UK property revenue,

- It’s inside the cost to Company Tax from 6 April 2020.
B2 – Election
The place the circumstances above are met, the graduation provisions described under will apply mechanically. If an organization doesn’t need the provisions to use, it may possibly make an election for the provisions to not apply.
When a sound election has been made, neither of the provisions described under will apply.
B3 – Losses provision
The place a capital loss accrues in an accounting interval between 1 April 2020 and 5 April 2020, it’s offset (as far as shouldn’t be required to offset any capital positive factors of the identical accounting interval) in opposition to capital positive factors accruing in both:-
- Some other accounting interval within the interval between 1 April 2020 and 5 April 2020, and
- The accounting interval commencing on 6 April 2020.
The place capital losses accrue within the accounting interval commencing on 6 April 2020, as far as they don’t seem to be required to offset any capital positive factors in that accounting interval, they’re used to offset any capital positive factors accruing in any accounting interval within the interval between 1 April 2020 and 5 April 2020.
Instance 11 – Losses provision
A non-UK resident firm which meets the circumstances above makes quite a few disposals ensuing within the following capital positive factors and losses accruing:-
1 April 2020 | Acquire | £150,000 |
---|---|---|
2 April 2020 | Loss | £40,000 |
4 April 2020 | Loss | £160,000 |
10 April 2020 | Acquire | £600,000 |
11 April 2020 | Loss | £50,000 |
The corporate prepares accounts to 31 March 2021.
The corporate can have three accounting intervals as follows:-
- 1 April 2020 to 2 April 2020
- 4 April 2020 to 4 April 2020
- 6 April 2020 to 31 March 2021
First, compute the online positive factors or extra losses of every accounting interval.
Accounting interval ended 2 April 2020
Capital positive factors of interval | £150,000 |
---|---|
Capital losses of interval | £40,000 |
Web positive factors of interval | £90,000 |
Accounting interval ended 4 April 2020
Capital positive factors of interval | £ nil |
---|---|
Capital losses of interval | £160,000 |
Extra losses of interval | £160,000 |
Accounting interval ended 31 March 2021
Capital positive factors of interval | £600,000 |
---|---|
Capital losses of interval | £50,000 |
Web positive factors of interval | £550,000 |
Subsequent, allocate any extra losses to different accounting intervals.
Accounting interval ended 2 April 2020
Web positive factors of interval | £90,000 |
---|---|
Much less extra losses from interval ended 4 April 2020 | £90,000 |
Web positive factors of interval | £ nil |
Accounting interval ended 31 March 2021
Web positive factors of interval | £550,000 |
---|---|
Much less extra losses from interval ended 4 April 2020 | £70,000 |
Web positive factors of interval | £480,000 |
Losses allotted in accordance with this therapy are usually not topic to restriction below the CCLR.
For the needs of the CCLR, such losses are handled as being losses of the identical accounting interval and thus kind a part of the Qualifying Chargeable Features for the accounting interval.
The corporate should offset all out there capital losses in opposition to capital positive factors so far as doable earlier than computing the CCLR.
The corporate can select to which accounting interval (or intervals) it allocates any capital losses inside these guidelines. Within the instance above, the corporate may have allotted the entire of the £160,000 losses from the accounting interval ended 4 April 2020 to the accounting interval ended 31 March 2021.
B4 – One-day accounting interval provision
The place an organization has an accounting interval between 1 April 2020 and 5 April 2020 which leads to web capital positive factors arising (after deducting any capital losses of the interval and in accordance with the above losses provision) and the corporate has carried-forward capital losses as at 1 April 2020, the corporate is handled as if it had made a declare below CTA10/S269ZYA (see Part 7 under) in respect of that accounting interval.
In computing the quantity of deductions allowance due for the accounting interval commencing 6 April 2020, the quantities of any deductions allowance used within the accounting intervals between 1 April 2020 and 5 April 2020 should be deducted.
Instance 12 – One-day accounting interval provision
A non-UK resident property enterprise which prepares its accounts to 31 March is inside the cost to revenue tax for the tax 12 months 2019-20 and inside the cost to company tax from 6 April 2020.

Anti-forestalling preparations
FB20/Sch 3 Para 46 (now FA20/Sch 4, Para 46)
Anti-forestalling guidelines will apply if an organization enters right into a transaction with a principal function of stopping the impact of the CCLR.
This steerage doesn’t present a definitive checklist of conditions that may or is not going to be caught by the anti-forestalling guidelines; it is just indicative of the final ideas in opposition to which a state of affairs shall be judged. Some examples are supplied however once more these are usually not exhaustive.

The place an organization has a Straddling Interval, (see Part 5 above) this provision applies in respect of the Pre-Graduation Interval.
The place the anti-forestalling guidelines apply, the corporate’s carried-forward capital losses can solely be offset in opposition to as much as 50% of the corporate’s Qualifying Chargeable Features for the accounting interval.
If the anti-forestalling provision applies, no quantity of deductions allowance is due and the restriction applies to all positive factors of the accounting interval, not simply these referring to forestalling.
Within the examples under, the transaction happens in an accounting interval to which the anti-forestalling rule may apply.
Instance 13
An organization sells a property asset to an unconnected third get together.
The anti-forestalling rule wouldn’t apply to an easy industrial disposal.
The rule can be anticipated to use to the next examples:
Instance 14
An organization disposes of an asset (or is handled as having disposed of an asset for tax functions) and subsequently re-acquires the identical asset, or an equal asset, earlier than the graduation of the brand new guidelines.
This “mattress and breakfast” association could contain a 3rd get together or, significantly within the case of shares, an open market.
This is able to end in a achieve being realised, coated by carried-forward losses or present interval losses, and the reacquired asset having the next acquisition worth.
The place an organization disposes of an asset and leases it again below a standard industrial transaction, to grasp worth from the asset while nonetheless having the ability to use it, then this might not be caught.
