 United Kingdom: Corporation Tax Regime Changes Finalized - Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionsaktieselskab
The existing separate tax regime for foreign exchange gains and losses of companies is to be ended, and exchange gains and losses are to be taxed in accordance with the provisions relating to corporate debt and derivative contracts.

With respect to shares, unit trust schemes and corporate debt representing specified convertibles, exchangeables and asset-linked securities, the contracts would come within the derivative contracts regime if they are either dealt in as part of a trade or derivatives that form part of a scheme to produce either an interest like or guaranteed return.

 Metallgesellschaft & Ors (Free movement of persons) [2001] EUECJ C-397/98 (08 March 2001)
According to the United Kingdom, Finnish and Netherlands Governments, the difference in treatment for tax purposes between subsidiaries resident in the United Kingdom depending on whether or not their parent company is resident in that Member State is objectively justified.
The United Kingdom Government submits that there is therefore a direct link between the exemption from corporation tax accorded to a parent company in respect of dividends received from its resident subsidiary and the liability of that subsidiary to ACT when it pays those dividends.
In consequence, the United Kingdom Government submits that the plaintiffs in the main proceedings cannot claim interest under a claim for restitution or for damages inasmuch as the principal sums claimed were repaid by set-off of ACT against theamounts due by way of MCT payable by the subsidiaries before the proceedings were brought.

If a multinational corporation (meaning, a company with subsidiaries or affiliates in more than just one or two countries) needs to be based in a high-tax country, for instance because it must have a listing on a major stock exchange, then the UK is often a good choice.
Whereas it used to be possible to use, say, a Dutch holding company to mix dividends from foreign subsidiaries taxed at say 10% and 50% to achieve a blended rate of 30%, thus ensuring that only a very small amount of UK corporation tax would be payable, the rules have now changed.

 United Kingdom; tax; ACT; Advanced Corporation Tax - Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
United KingdomOn 18 July 2003, the UK High Court rendered a favourable decision on the time limits applicable for advance corporation tax (ACT) compensation claims arising as a result of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision in the Metallgesellschaft/Hoechst case.
The issue in the Deutsche Morgan Grenfell case was the time limit applicable to claims for restitution in respect of the ACT paid on dividends from UK subsidiaries to European Economic Area (EEA) parent companies, which could have been made without ACT payments if group income elections had been allowed by the UK Inland Revenue.
On the basis of the Court's decision, claims for restitution in such cases could still be made in respect of ACT paid since that tax was first introduced in 1973.
