Additional top-up amounts on recalculations
206Additional top-up amounts where recalculations required
1
This section applies to the standard members of a multinational group in an accounting period (“the current period”) in a territory where—
a
a recalculation is required in the current period in relation to one or more previous accounting periods (each a “prior period”) as a result of any of the following sections—
iii
iv
section 219(1), or
b
the members have a special additional top-up tax amount under section 192 for the current period.
2
Where—
a
the sum of the top-up amounts that those members would have for a prior period, determined in accordance with a recalculation required under one of the sections mentioned in subsection (1)(a), is greater than the sum of the top-up amounts those members had for that prior period, or
b
this section applies as a result of subsection (1)(b) (whether or not it also applies as a result of subsection (1)(a)),
the members collectively have an additional top-up amount (a “collective additional amount”) under this section for the current period.
3
Take the following steps to determine the collective additional amount under this section—
Step 1
Where one or more recalculations are required in accordance with any of the sections mentioned in subsection (1)(a), for each prior period carry out the recalculation or recalculations required in respect of that period to establish the top-up amounts those members would have had for the prior period (taking account of all recalculations required for that period).
Step 2
For each prior period, subtract the sum of the top-up amounts those members had for that prior period from the sum of top-up amounts that those members would have for that period.
Step 3
Add together all of the results of Step 2 that are greater than nil.
Step 4
Where the members have a special additional top-up tax amount under section 192 for the current period, add that amount to the result of Step 2 (which may be nil).
4
Where those members have a QDT credit for the accounting period, the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced in accordance with subsections (5) to (8).
5
Where—
a
the standard members do not have a collective additional amount under section 203 for the period,
b
the total top-up amount for the current period for the members for the members’ territory is nil, and
c
the collective additional amount under this section (before reduction by relevant QDT credit) is equal to or greater than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,
the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced by the sum of those accrued amounts.
6
Where—
a
the standard members do not have a collective additional amount under section 203 for the period,
b
the total top-up amount for the current period for the standard members in the territory is nil, and
c
the collective additional amount under this section (before reduction by relevant QDT credit) is less than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,
the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced to nil.
7
Where—
a
the standard members have a collective additional amount under section 203 for the period or the total top-up amount for the current period for members for the members’ territory is greater than nil, and
b
the sum of the collective additional amount under this section (before reduction by relevant QDT credit), any collective additional amount under section 203 and the total top-up amount for the current period for the members for the member’s territory is less than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,
the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced to nil.
8
Where—
a
the standard members have a collective additional amount under section 203 for the period or the total top-up amount for the current period for members for the members’ territory is greater than nil, and
b
the sum of the collective additional amount under this section (before reduction by relevant QDT credit), any collective additional amount under section 203 and the total top-up amount for the current period for the members for the member’s territory is equal to or greater than the sum of amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax accrued by those members in that period,
the collective additional amount under this section is to be reduced by the amount given by multiplying the sum of those amounts of qualifying domestic top-up tax by the amount given by dividing the collective additional amount under this section by the sum of that collective additional amount, any collective additional amount under section 203 and the total-up up amount for the current period.
