Section 2E: References to income tax or Income Tax Acts in case of companies

Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 · 1992 c. 12View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 1: Capital gains tax and corporation tax on chargeable gains — Chapter 2: Corporation tax on chargeable gains

If the CGT enactments contain any reference to—

income tax, or
the Income Tax Acts,

the reference is, in relation to a company, to be read as a reference to corporation tax or the Corporation Tax Acts.

But—

this does not affect references to income tax in section 39(2), and
so far as the CGT enactments operate by reference to matters of any specified description, account is to be taken for corporation tax purposes of matters of that description confined to companies but not of any confined to individuals.

In this section "the CGT enactments" means the enactments relating to capital gains tax.
