CTA10/Part 5

Group relief (CTM80100 onwards) is also available to companies in a consortium relationship (CTA10/S130(2)(b) to (d)).

The term 鈥榞roup relief鈥� is used in the legislation to refer in cases using either a group or a consortium relationship (although a 鈥渃onsortium claim鈥� is distinguished by CTA10/S146(8)). For ease of reference in this guidance the phrase 鈥榗onsortium relief鈥� is used. This is not a statutory term, but helps to distinguish the different rules used in cases of a consortium relationship.

Like the group condition in CTA10/S131 for group relief, in order for a consortium claim to be possible one of the three consortium conditions must be met (CTA10/S130):

• 鈥楥ondition 1鈥� is for circumstances where a member of the consortium wishes to claim relief from, or surrender relief to, a company owned by the consortium (CTA10/S132; CTM80540 and CTM80545)
• 鈥楥ondition 2鈥� is for circumstances where the company owned by a consortium wishes to surrender relief to a company that is not a member of the consortium but is in the same group as a member of the consortium (CTA10/S133(1) and (3) to (8); CTM80550 and CTM80555)
• 鈥楥ondition 3鈥� is for circumstances where a company owned by the consortium wishes to claim relief from a company that is not a member of the consortium, but is in the same group as a member of the consortium (CTA10/S133(2) to (8); CTM80550 and CTM80560)

These terms are explained below.

All of the conditions are subject to certain requirements as detailed in their respective sections, which are discussed in their guidance.

A company is a 鈥榗ompany owned by the consortium鈥� if (CTA10/S153):

• The company is not a 75% subsidiary of any company, and
• At least 75% of the company鈥檚 ordinary share capital is beneficially owned by other companies,
• Each of which beneficially owns at least 5% of the share capital

These companies that are 5% or more beneficial owners are 鈥榤embers of the consortium鈥�.

Where a 鈥榤ember of a consortium鈥� is also a member of a group it is called a 鈥榣ink company鈥� and the 鈥榗ompany owned by the consortium鈥� can surrender relief to, and claim relief from, other members of the link company鈥檚 group (CTM80555).

CTM80530 gives more details on how this feeds on to other connected companies, and more terms are shown with a diagram in the example at CTM80590.

Some wider group relief rules that also apply to consortium claims are listed in CTM80510.

Prior to 1 April 2000, not only did both the claimant and the surrendering company have to be resident in the UK, but so did the consortium member, the holding company and the majority of the trading subsidiaries. For transitional provisions where an accounting period straddles 1 April 2000 see CTM80370.

There is guidance at CTM41200 onwards on trade associations.
