(2)Provision forming part of the closing amount is “wholly attributable to policyholder tax” if—

(a)the provision is made in respect of a BLAGAB matter (see subsection (3)), and

(b)anything included in the closing amount in respect of that matter is calculated wholly by reference to the policyholders' rate of tax chargeable on the policyholders' share of the company's I - E profit for any accounting period.

there is to be a reversal in the subsequent period of account in respect of the provision (so far as section 107 does not otherwise apply in relation to the case).

(5)The reversal in the subsequent period of account is to be made as follows—
