INTM558030 - Hybrids: dual territory double deduction (Chapter 10): conditions to be satisfied: condition A

Condition A

Condition A of s259JA requires that a company is either

  • a dual resident company, or
  • a relevant multinational company

Dual resident company

A dual resident company for the purpose of Chapter 10 is defined at s259JA(3). A company is a dual resident company if it is resident in the UK, and it is also within the charge to a tax under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom because

  • it derives its status as a company from that law
  • its place of management is in that territory, or
  • it is for some other reason treated as resident under the law of that territory

Note that a UK company’s foreign subsidiary (upon whose profits a CFC charge is based) is not a dual resident company. While the subsidiary is deemed to be a UK resident company in order to compute the assumed taxable total profits for UK CFC purposes per section 371SD(1)(a) TIOPA 2010, it is not in fact a UK resident company.

Relevant multinational company

A relevant multinational company is defined at 259JA(4). It is a company that is

  • within the charge to tax in a jurisdiction (known as ‘the PE jurisdictionâ€�), in which it is not resident for tax purposes, because it carries on business in that territory through a permanent establishment in that territory, and
  • either

  • (i) the PE jurisdiction is the UK, or
  • (ii) the territory in which the company is resident for tax purposes (known as ‘the parent jurisdictionâ€�), is the UK

Company is not defined in the legislation, so takes its normal meaning under UK law.

Permanent establishment includes anything that is a permanent establishment within the meaning of section 1119 CTA 2010, or within any similar concept outside the United Kingdom. An overseas concept of a permanent establishment is not excluded simply because it is not based on Article 5 of the OECD model tax convention on income and capital.
