Tonnage tax profits of CFCs

The exclusion of reliefs or set-offs against the tax liability attributable to a company’s ‘tonnage tax profits (see TTM07200) also applies to the tax attributable to any ‘tonnageprofits’ of a CFC which are included in the amounts apportioned to a company under 737(3).

(NB this restriction applies whether or not the company to which the profits are apportioned is itself subject to Tonnage Tax.)

The ‘tonnage profits’ of a CFC are the profits that are calculated by reference to tonnage (in accordance with paragraph 4). See TTM07100 for details of how the profits of a CFC are calculated.

The tonnage profits of a CFC are to be treated as apportioned to a company in the same proportion that the CFC’s total profits are apportioned to it.
