1 If, within the period of three years commencing with the date on which notice of a decision of the Board under paragraph 3 above was given to the responsible person for an oil field, it appears to the Board that the relevant amount was incorrectly stated in the notice, the Board may before the expiry of that period serve on the responsible person a notice stating what appears to the Board to be the correct amount (referred to below as “the notice of variation”).

8 On an appeal against a notice of variation the Special Commissioners may vary the notice, quash the notice or dismiss the appeal; and the notice may be varied whether or not the variation is to the advantage of all or any of the participators in the oil field in question.

9 Where a notice of variation relating to a decision on a claim becomes effective, the relevant amount shall be taken for the purposes of this Part of this Act as having been reduced or increased, as the case may require, on the date on which notice of the decision was given, by such amount as may be necessary to give effect to that notice, and the Board may make such computations under section 2 of this Act and such assessments or determinations or such amendments of assessments or determinations as may be necessary in consequence of that reduction or increase.

10 A notice of variation becomes effective for the purposes of this paragraph either—

a on the expiry of the period during which notice of appeal against the notice of variation may be given to the Special Commissioners under sub-paragraph (3) above without such notice of appeal being given; or

b where such notice of appeal is given, when the notice of variation can no longer be varied or quashed by the Special Commissioners or by the order of any court.

11 This paragraph has effect in relation to notices of decisions of the Board under paragraph 3 above given after 15th March 1983.

2 In Schedule 6 to the principal Act (allowance of expenditure on claim by participator) at the end of the first column of the Table set out in paragraph 2 (application of provisions of Schedule 5) there shall be added “ 9 ”.

Reliefs for Exploration and Appraisal Expenditure etc

Section 37.

^C8Part I Section to be Inserted after Section 5 of the Principal Act¶

5A Allowance of exploration and appraisal expenditure.

1 The exploration and appraisal expenditure which, subject to the provisions of this section and Schedule 7 to this Act, is allowable in the case of a person who is a participator in an oil field is any expenditure (whether or not of a capital nature) which—

a is incurred after 15th March 1983 by that person or, if that person is a company, by that company or a company associated with it in respect of the expenditure; and

b is so incurred wholly and exclusively for one or more of the purposes specified in subsection (2) below; and

c at the time it is so incurred, does not relate to a field for which a development decision has previously been made.

2 The purposes referred to in subsection (1) above are—

a the purpose of searching for oil in the United Kingdom, the territorial sea thereof or a designated area;

b the purpose of ascertaining the extent or characteristics of any oil-bearing area in the United Kingdom, the territorial sea thereof or a designated area;

c the purpose of ascertaining what are the reserves of oil of any such oil-bearing area; and

d subject to subsection (3) below, the purpose of making to the Secretary of State any payment under or for the purpose of obtaining a licence (not being a payment by way of royalty or other periodic payment).

3 Expenditure incurred for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2)(d) above is not allowable under this section unless, at the time the allowance is claimed,—

a the licence to which the expenditure related has expired or has been determined or revoked; or

b part of the licensed area has been surrendered;

and where paragraph (b) above applies only that proportion of the expenditure which corresponds to the proportion of the licensed area which has been surrendered is expenditure falling within subsection (1) above.

4 Subject to subsection (5) below, subsections (2) and (4) to (8) of section 5 of this Act apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section.

5 In the application for the purposes of this section of the provisions of section 5 of this Act referred to in subsection (4) above,—

a any reference in subsection (2) of section 5 to the purpose mentioned in subsection (1)(b) of that section shall be construed as a reference to any of the purposes specified in subsection (2) of this section;

b the reference in subsection (2)(a) of section 5 to subsection (1) of that section shall be construed as a reference to subsection (1) of this section; and

c the reference in subsection (6) of section 5 to a sum received does not include a reference—

i to a sum received from the disposal of oil won in the course of operations carried out for any of the purposes in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (2) of this section; or

ii to a sum received for the assignment of any of the rights conferred by a licence or of any interest in a licensed area.

6 Expenditure is not allowable under this section in connection with an oil field if, or to the extent that, it has been allowed under Schedule 5, Schedule 6 or Schedule 7 to this Act in connection with any oil field.

7 For the purposes of subsection (1)(c) above, a development decision is made when—

a consent for development is granted to a licensee by the Secretary of State in respect of the whole or part of an oil field; or

b a programme of development is served on a licensee or approved by the Secretary of State for the whole or part of an oil field;

and subsections (4) and (5) of section 36 of the Finance Act 1983 (meaning of development etc.) apply in relation to this subsection as they apply in relation to subsections (2) and (3) of that section.

8 If, at the time when it is incurred, expenditure relates to an area—

a which is not then an oil field, but

b in respect of which notice of a proposed determination has previously been given under paragraph 2(a) of Schedule 1 to this Act,

that area shall be treated for the purposes of this section as having become an oil field at the time the notice was given unless, when the actual determination is made, the area is not included in an oil field.

Part III Receipts to be Set Against Allowable Expenditure¶

10In this Part of this Schedule—

“allowable expenditure” means expenditure which, in accordance with section 5 or section 5A of the principal Act, is allowable on a claim made by a participator under Schedule 7 to that Act; and
“qualifying receipt” means a sum the amount of which falls, by virtue of subsection (6) of section 5 of the principal Act, to be applied by way of reduction in the amount of expenditure which would otherwise be allowable expenditure.

1 A return made by a participator for a chargeable period under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the principal Act shall give details of any qualifying receipt (whether received by him or by a person connected with him) of which details have not been given in a return made by him for an earlier chargeable period.

2 Section 1122 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.

1 This paragraph applies where—

a a claim for allowable expenditure has been made by a participator under Schedule 7 to the principal Act; and

b as a result of the receipt (whether before or after the making of the claim) of a qualifying receipt, the amount allowed by way of allowable expenditure on the claim exceeds what it should have been.

2 In determining, in a case where this paragraph applies, the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to the participator in the chargeable period in which the qualifying receipt is received, the amount of the excess referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall be taken into account under section 2 of the principal Act as an amount which is to be included among the positive amounts referred to in subsection (3)(a) of that section.

3 In the application of section 9 of the principal Act (limit on amount of tax payable) to a chargeable period in respect of which sub-paragraph (2) above applies, the amount of the excess referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall be deducted from the amount which would otherwise be the total ascertained under subsection (2)(a)(ii) of that section and, if the amount of that excess is greater than the amount which would otherwise be that total, that total shall be a negative amount equal to the difference.
