S1217K, S1217KA Corporation Tax Act 2009 (CTA 2009)

A »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappatrical Production Company (TPC) has the option of claiming »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappatre Tax Relief (TTR) as a payable »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappatre Tax Credit (TTC) direct from HMRC.  It can do so in any period in which it has a surrenderable loss.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp TPC may surrender all or part of its surrenderable loss.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of the surrenderable loss

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of the surrenderable loss for any accounting period is the lesser of:

  • the amount of the TPC's available loss for the accounting period in the separate theatrical trade, and
  • the available qualifying expenditure for that period.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp TPC's available loss is the sum of the loss for the period plus any relevant unused loss brought forward.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp relevant unused loss brought forward is any available loss for previous periods not set against profits of the separate theatrical trade nor surrendered for TTC.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp available qualifying expenditure is the enhanceable expenditure (TTR55020) to date less the total amount, if any, previously surrendered.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappatre Tax Credit

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of the payment is the TTC rate multiplied by the amount of loss surrendered.
