Further information required if exemption claimed for qualifying resources
The legislation is not prescriptive about the nature of evidence required to establish the source of funding for qualifying resources but it will be necessary to identify the separate strands of funding and establish the resources used in creating the relevant qualifying loan relationship.
Where the legislation allows indirect sources of funding to be taken into account, it will be necessary to submit evidence to show the historical path of structuring, financing and refinancing in order to establish the link between any previous qualifying resources and the ultimate qualifying loan relationship against which qualifying resources are claimed.
Full details of any UK debt incurred by a member of the CFC group with either a UK resident 3rd party or a non-UK resident person, which is made under or is otherwise connected with a qualifying loan relationship. Where the legislation allows indirect sources of funding to be taken into account, this includes earlier UK debt taken out for example to fund a buy out of minority share-holders in a 3rd party share for share exchange or to finance the payment of a dividend by a subsidiary overseas company.
Where a qualifying loan relationship has been funded from a pool of resources that includes both qualifying and non-qualifying resources see Chapter 9 guidance), the resource must be assumed to include a proportion of all the available funding sources. Accordingly a pro-rated computation of qualifying resources is required.
Further information required if exemption is claimed for “matched interest”
Full details of “the leftover profits”, “the relevant amounts” and computations to show that either all the leftover profits are exempt or a percentage of the leftover profits are exempt under section 371IE(3).
