Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)This section applies to a member of a multinational group where—
(a)it is released from an obligation to pay a debt (however that obligation arises), and
(b)at the time of that release, one or more of the circumstances mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (2) applied to it.
(2)Those circumstances are—
(a)that the member meets an insolvency condition mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 322(6) of CTA 2009 (release of debts);
(b)that—
(i)it is reasonable to suppose that within 12 months, ignoring any debts owed to persons and entities that are connected to the member, the member will be unable to meet its debts to persons and entities it is not connected to as they fall due, and
(ii)the member has obtained an independent expert opinion confirming that is the case;
(c)that the member’s liabilities exceed its assets.
(3)Where the circumstance in subsection (2)(a) applies to the member, its underlying profits are to be adjusted to exclude any profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation.
(4)Where—
(a)the circumstance in subsection (2)(b) applies to the member,
(b)the circumstance in (2)(a) does not, and
(c)the debt—
(i)is not a debt owed to a person or entity that is connected to the member, or
(ii)the debt is owed to a person or entity that is connected to the member, but the release of the debt obligation can reasonably be regarded as part of arrangements to secure the solvency of the member that involve the release of debt owed to a person that is not connected to the member,
the member’s underlying profits are to be adjusted to exclude any profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation.
(5)Subsection (6) applies where—
(a)the circumstance in subsection (2)(c) applies to the member,
(b)neither the circumstance in subsection (2)(a) nor (2)(b) applies to the member, and
(c)the debt is not a debt owed to a person or entity that is connected to the member.
(6)Where this subsection applies, the underlying profits of the member are to be adjusted to exclude the lesser of—
(a)the amount of any profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation,
(b)if, as a result of the release of the debt obligation, the member’s assets exceed its liabilities, the amount by which its liabilities exceeded its assets immediately before the release, and
(c)if, in determining the member’s liability to tax, some or all of the profits arising as a result of the release of the debt obligation are offset by deferred tax assets, the amount of those profits that are offset.
(7)Where the member is released from more than one obligation to pay a debt at the same time, the release of those obligations is to be treated, for the purposes of applying the conditions in this section, as if they represented the release of a single obligation to pay a debt.
