- the total of the amounts (if any) of the CFC’s income which falls within Categories A, B, C and D (as set out in TIOPA10/S371KE to S371KI) is no more than the ‘threshold’ amount for the accounting period (as described in TIOPA10/S371KD) (the income condition (see INTM224900);
- the intellectual property (IP) condition (provided by TIOPA10/S371KJ) is met (see INTM225000); and
