CTM80630 - Consortia: group relief: date of arrangements

Following the decision in Shepherd v Law Land plc 63TC692, a consortium group relationship which would otherwise exist is only broken by reason of ‘arrangements’ within ICTA88/S410 while those arrangements are in existence. A consortium group relationship is not necessarily broken for the whole of an accounting period during which Section 410 arrangements have existed.

Where Section 410 arrangements interrupt an existing consortium group arrangement during an accounting period, the provisions of ICTA88/S403A apply ( CTM80210).
