TTM05010 - The 75% limit on charters-in: Outline
Conditions to be satisfied
It is a requirement of entering or remaining within tonnage tax-
- in the case of a single company, that not more than 75%听of the net tonnage of the qualifying ships operated by it is chartered-in;
- in the case of a group, that not more than 75%听of the aggregate net tonnage of the qualifying ships operated by the members of the group that are qualifying companies is chartered-in.
See TTM05100 for the meaning of 鈥榗hartered-in鈥�.
In practice this test is applied by comparing:
听
- the total tonnage of qualifying ships 鈥榗hartered-in鈥� across the ring fence, and
- the total tonnage of the qualifying ships operated by the group.
Where this test applies to an accounting period, the computation is made by reference to the average tonnage chartered-in/operated in that period (see TTM05200).
