Scope of distributions for tax purposes

The most common type of distribution is a dividend paid in cash by a company to its shareholders, ie a direct cash distribution of profits to the owners of a company.However, the corporation tax definition of distribution is different from the company law definition (for which, see Practice Note: Dividends, distributions and scrip dividends).Why does it matter whether a payment is a distribution?It is important to be able to identify whether a particular payment by a UK company is a distribution because if a payment is a distribution:•the payer is not entitled to a deduction for the payment in its UK corporation tax calculation, and•a UK corporate recipient will be subject to corporation tax on the receipt in accordance with CTA 2009, Part 9A, unless the distribution falls within one of the specific exemptions—for further information, see Practice Notes: How are small companies taxed on distributions received? and How are non-small companies taxed on distributions received?Since most normal distributions will fall within one of the exemptions from tax, it is...

Can the write-off of a loan made by one company to another be a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder?

Can the write-off of a loan made by one company to another be a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder? We can find no direct authority confirming that the write-off of a loan made by one company to another, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder, is a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) or that it is not. There is a possibility that a court could view such a transaction as a distribution for these purposes and some careful analysis of the law and the facts will be necessary. However, Stakefield (Midlands) and others v Doffman and another provides some useful guidance. The court found that the waiver by a company (S Ltd) of certain loans owed to it by other companies associated with it (by virtue of two of the shareholder/directors of S Ltd...

Can a private company limited by shares carry out a rights issue?

Can a private company limited by shares carry out a rights issue? A rights issue is an offer of shares to existing shareholders of a company, which gives them the right to subscribe for additional shares in proportion to their existing shareholding in the shares of the company, eg, a right for each shareholder to subscribe for one new share for every five shares that they hold. The shares are usually offered to the existing shareholders by means of renounceable letters or other negotiable instruments. If a company wants to raise new capital through an issue of its ordinary shares for cash, it is prima facie obliged by section 561 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) to do so by means of a rights issue in favour of its existing shareholders. CA 2006, s 561 sets out statutory pre-emption rights and states that a company must not allot equity securities to a person on any terms unless: • it has made an offer to each holder of...

Court of Appeal clarifies when a dissolved partnership may bring litigation (Flohr v Frontiers Capital I Ltd Partnership)

Restructuring & Insolvency analysis: The Court of Appeal has confirmed that the authority to bind a firm for the purposes of its winding up (conferred on partners after the dissolution of a partnership by section 38 of the Partnership Act 1890 (PA 1890)) applies to pursuing causes of action which accrued prior to dissolution. Whether PA 1890, s 38 will permit partners of a dissolved partnership to pursue litigation post-dissolution is a fact sensitive question. The question is whether such litigation is reasonably required in all the circumstances to wind up the affairs of the partnership. Relevant considerations are not circumscribed and will include considerations of prospects of success and cost-effectiveness. In Flohr, the Court of Appeal confirmed a general partner of a limited partnership governed by the Limited Partnership Act 1907 (LPA 1907) was empowered to sue a third party on behalf of the partnership notwithstanding the dissolution and winding up of the partnership. This was so even though the relevant cause of action arose prior to dissolution. Written...
