As published

356NC Restriction on credits to be brought into account

(1) Credits in respect of exchange gains from the contractor's loan relationships may not be brought into account for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 (loan relationships) in any way that results in an increase of what would otherwise be the contractor's ring fence profits, but this is subject to subsections (2) to (4). (2) Subsection (1) does not apply so far as a loan relationship is in respect of money borrowed by the contractor which has been— (a) used to meet expenditure incurred by the contractor in carrying on oil contractor activities, or (b) appropriated to meeting expenditure to be so incurred by the contractor. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply, in the case of credits falling to be brought into account as a result of section 329 of CTA 2009 (pre-loan relationship and abortive expenses) in respect of a loan relationship that has not been entered into, so far as the relationship would have been one entered into for the purpose of borrowing money to be used or appropriated as mentioned in subsection (2). (4) Subsection (1) does not apply, in the case of credits in respect of a loan relationship to which Chapter 2 of Part 6 of CTA 2009 (relevant non-lending relationships) applies, so far as— (a) the payment of interest under the relationship is expenditure incurred as mentioned in subsection (2)(a), or (b) the exchange gain arising from the relationship is in respect of a money debt on which the interest payable (if any) is, or would be, such expenditure. (5) If a credit— (a) falls to be brought into account for the purposes of Part 5 of CTA 2009 in respect of a loan relationship of the contractor, but (b) as a result of this section cannot be brought into account in a way that results in any increase of what would otherwise be the contractor's ring fence profits, the credit is to be brought into account for those purposes as a non-trading credit despite anything in section 297 of that Act. (6) Section 356NB(6) applies for the purposes of this section.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
