CFM1160 - Introduction to the Corporate Finance Manual: converting from the old Corporate Finance Manual

The old and the new Corporate Finance Manuals: origins and destinations

The CFM was first introduced in 2002. It has been rewritten as a consequence of the introduction of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (CTA09), which was part of the Tax Law Rewrite (TLR) project. The rewritten legislation follows a different structure to the predecessor legislation but like other TLR legislation, it does not change the law. Most of the content of the CFM has not changed, but it has been substantially re-ordered to reflect the structure of CTA09. There is some new material, and some of the guidance relating to older versions of the legislation has been consolidated in the last chapter of the guidance (CFM80000).

It is not practical to provide a page by page guide to show how the former guidance has been re-arranged in the new guidance. But the table below gives a general indication of the sources and destination of the guidance.
