(1) This section applies for an accounting period of a company (“the loss period”) if—
(a) apart from this section, a loss arising in connection with a loan relationship of the company would fall to be brought into account for the purposes of this Part, and
(b) the loss is wholly or partly referable to a time when the relationship was not subject to United Kingdom taxation.
(2) The amounts brought into account for the loss period for the purposes of this Part must be such as to secure that none of the loss referable to a time when the relationship was not so subject is treated for those purposes as arising in the loss period or any other accounting period of the company.
(3) For the purposes of this section a loss is referable to a time when a relationship is not subject to United Kingdom taxation so far as, at the time to which the loss is referable, the company would not have been chargeable to corporation tax in the United Kingdom on any profits arising from the relationship.
(4) If the company was not a party to the relationship at the time to which the loss is referable, subsection (3) applies as if the reference to the company were a reference to the person who at that time was in the same position as respects the relationship as is subsequently held by the company.
(5) An amount which would be brought into account for the purposes of this Part in respect of any matter apart from this section is treated for the purposes of section 464(1) (amounts brought into account under this Part excluded from being otherwise brought into account) as if it were so brought into account.
(6) Accordingly, that amount must not be brought into account for corporation tax purposes as respects that matter either under this Part or otherwise.

(b) has been recognised as an item of other comprehensive income.
(3A) In subsection (3)—
(a) the reference to the functional currency of a business or part of a business is a reference to the currency of the primary economic environment in which the business or part operates, and
(b) “assets, liabilities, income and expenses” and “item of other comprehensive income” each has the meaning that it has for accounting purposes.
(3B) No amount is to be brought into account for the purposes of this Part in respect of an exchange gain or loss of an investment company (within the meaning of section 17 of CTA 2010) which would not have arisen but for a change in the company's functional currency (within the meaning of section 17(4) of that Act) as between—
(a) the period of account of the company in which the gain or loss arises, and
(b) a period of account of the company ending in the 12 months immediately preceding that period.

(a) excluding exchange gains or losses of a specified description from being brought into account for the purposes of this Part,
(b) requiring exchange gains or losses of a specified description which would not otherwise be brought into account for the purposes of this Part to be brought into account in specified circumstances,

(d) as to the way in which any such exchange gains or losses are to be brought into account.
(4ZA) For the purposes of subsection (4)(b), it does not matter whether the exchange gains or losses would otherwise be excluded from being brought into account as a result of regulations under subsection (4)(a) or otherwise.

(b) it incurs any expenses for purposes connected—

(2) The expenses are treated as expenses in relation to which debits may be brought into account in accordance with section 307(2) to the same extent as if the company had entered into the relationship or transaction.
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a non-trading debit is given for an accounting period of a company for the purposes of this Part, and
(b) within the period of 2 years beginning with the end of the period the company makes an election for the purposes of this section in respect of the debit.
(2) The debit must not be brought into account for the purposes of this Part as a non-trading debit for that period.
(3) Instead, if conditions A and B are met in respect of a trade, the debit—
(a) is treated for the purposes of this Part as if it were a debit for the accounting period in which the company begins to carry on the trade, and
(b) is to be brought into account in accordance with section 297(3) (trading debits).
(4) Condition A is that the company begins to carry on the trade within the period of 7 years after the end of the accounting period for which a non-trading debit is given for the purposes of this Part.
(5) Condition B is that that debit is such that, if it were given for the accounting period in which the company begins to carry on the trade, it would be brought into account by reference to that trade in accordance with section 297(3).
330ZA Debits referable to times before UK property business etc carried on
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a non-UK resident company has debits in respect of a loan relationship to which it is a party for the purposes of its UK property business,
(b) the debits are referable to times (“the pre-rental times”) before (but not more than 7 years before) the date on which it starts to carry on the business, and
(c) the debits are not otherwise brought into account for tax purposes.
(2) If, on the assumption that the company had been carrying on the business at the pre-rental times, the debits—
(a) would have been recognised in determining its profit or loss for a period consisting of or including those times, and
(b) would have been brought into account for the purposes of this Part,
the debits are (so far as they exceed relevant credits) treated for the purposes of this Part as if they were debits for the accounting period in which it started to carry on the business.
(3) For this purpose “relevant credits” means credits of the company in respect of the loan relationship which, on the assumption that the company had been carrying on the business at the pre-rental times—
(a) would have been recognised in determining its profit or loss for a period consisting of or including those times,
(b) would have been brought into account for the purposes of this Part, and
(c) would not otherwise have been brought into account for tax purposes.
(4) This section is subject to section 327 (disallowance of imported losses etc).
(5) This section also applies in relation to a non-UK resident company which is a party to a loan relationship for the purpose of enabling it to generate other UK property income (within the meaning given by section 5(6)).
330A Company is not, or has ceased to be, party to loan relationship
(1) This section applies if—
(a) amounts in respect of a qualifying relationship are recognised in a company's accounts for an accounting period (“the current period”) as an item of profit or loss even though during all or part of the period the company is not a party to the qualifying relationship,
(b) any of conditions A to D is met, and
(c) in the absence of this section, the credits and debits brought into account by the company for the purposes of this Part or Part 7 for the current period would not include credits or debits representing the whole of those amounts.

(b) amounts in respect of the qualifying relationship were recognised in the company's accounts as an item of profit or loss when it was a party to the relationship, and
(c) any amounts in respect of the relationship continue to be recognised in those accounts as an item of profit or loss.

(5) Condition C is that the amounts recognised as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) are recognised as a result of a related transaction in relation to a qualifying relationship to which the company was, but has ceased to be, a party.
(6) Condition D is that—
(a) the amounts recognised as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) are recognised because the company may enter into a qualifying relationship or related transaction but has not yet done so, and

(10) In this section—
“item of profit or loss” has the meaning it has for accounting purposes;
“recognised” means recognised in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice;
“related transaction”, in relation to a qualifying relationship, is to be read as if the references in section 304(1) and (2) to a loan relationship were to a qualifying relationship.

(5) In this section “company B”, “original shares” and “receiving company” have the meaning given in section 339(7).
(1) Sections 345 and 346 apply if—
(a) this Chapter applies in the case mentioned in section 336 (transfers of loans on group transactions),

(a) an asset or liability which represents a loan relationship is transferred in the course of a transfer or merger in relation to which Chapter 13 (European cross-border transfers of business) or Chapter 14 (European cross-border mergers) applies, and
(b) the transferee ceases to be a member of the relevant group in consequence of the transfer or merger.
(3) In a case where subsection (2) applies, if the transferee becomes a member of another group in consequence of the transfer or merger, it is treated for the purposes of this section and sections 345 and 346 as if the relevant group and the other group were the same.
(4) In this section and sections 345 and 346—
“the relevant 6 year period” means the period of 6 years following—
in a case where section 340 applies because of a transaction within section 336(2) (“case A”), that transaction, or
in a case where section 340 applies because of a series of transactions within section 336(3) (“case B”), the last transaction of that series,
“the relevant group” means—
in case A, the group mentioned in section 336(2), and
in case B, the group mentioned in section 336(3), and
“the relevant loan relationship” means the loan relationship mentioned in section 336(1)(b).

(2) ... This Part applies as if—
(a) the transferee had assigned the asset or liability representing the relevant loan relationship immediately before ceasing to be a member of the relevant group,

(1) This section applies if a loan relationship is a connected companies relationship for an accounting period.

(a) a company has a hedging relationship between a relevant contract (“the hedging instrument”) and the asset or liability representing the loan relationship, and
(b) the loan relationship is dealt with in the company's accounts on the basis of fair value accounting,
it is to be assumed in applying an amortised cost basis of accounting for the purpose of subsection (2) that the hedging instrument has where possible been designated for accounting purposes as a fair value hedge of the loan relationship.
