(2) The amount to be calculated is determined by applying the following steps – (a) Step 1 calculate the amount as follows – SP x (A/B) Where – SP is the aggregate of the company’s specified profits for each financial period of the company beginning with the financial period ending in the year of assessment in which a distribution was last made to that individual and including the relevant financial period (which may be the same period); A is the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company which are owned by the individual at the current relevant time; B is the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company at the current relevant time; (b) Step 2 calculate the amount in clause (i) or (ii) as follows – (i) where the proportion of shares owned by the individual in the company remained constant since the immediately previous relevant time – X – Y Where – X is the individual’s allocated share of specified profits at the immediately previous relevant time; Y is the amount of the relevant distribution (or aggregate value of relevant distributions if more than one) made to the individual at the immediately previous relevant time, (ii) where the proportion of shares owned by the individual in the company has not remained constant since the immediately previous relevant time – (X – Y) x ((E/F)/(A/B)) Where – X is the individual’s allocated share of specified profits at the immediately previous relevant time; Y is the amount of the relevant distribution (or aggregate value of relevant distributions if more than one) made to the individual at the immediately previous relevant time; A is the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company which were owned by the individual at the immediately previous relevant time; B is the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company at the immediately previous relevant time; E is the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company which are owned by the individual at the current relevant time; F is the number of shares comprised in the ordinary share capital of the company at the current relevant time; (c) Step 3 add together the amounts obtained after applying Step 1 and Step 2; (d) Step 4 calculate the amount as follows – P – Q Where – P is the amount calculated under Step 3; Q is the amount determined in accordance with paragraph (3); (e) Step 5 Determine the amount in accordance with paragraph (4) or (5), as the case may be. (3) If, at the immediately previous relevant time – (a) Article 81T(3), 81U(4), 81W(4) or paragraph (4) below applied, Q is the same value as Q calculated under Article 81T(2)(b), 81U(2)(b), 81W(2)(b) or Step 4 above, at the immediately previous relevant time, as the case may be; (b) Article 81T(4), 81U(5), 81W(5) or paragraph (5) below applied, Q is calculated as follows – G + H Where – G is the amount of the distribution (or, if more than one, the aggregate value of the distributions) made to the individual at the immediately previous relevant time chargeable to tax under Case III(f) of Schedule D (disregarding so much of the distribution, if any, made out of the profits of a financial period of the company, such financial period ending on or before 31st December 2011), less the value of so much of the amount of the distribution, if any, that is exempt from tax under Article 78; H is the amount (if any) by which the value of Q exceeded the value of P for the purposes of Article 81T(2)(b), 81U(2)(b), 81W(2)(b) or under Step 4 above, at the immediately previous relevant time, as the case may be. (4) If the amount calculated under Step 4 is greater than, or equal to, the amount of the distribution (or aggregate value of distributions if more than one) made to the individual at the current relevant time, the individual’s allocated share of specified profits is the amount calculated under Step 3. (5) If the amount calculated under Step 4 is less than the distribution (or aggregate value of distributions if more than one) made to the individual at the current relevant time, the individual’s allocated share of specified profits is whichever is the higher amount of the following – (a) the amount calculated under Step 4; or (b) £0. (6) For the purposes of calculating the amount of SP in Step 1, if there is more than one financial period ending in the year of assessment in which a distribution was last made to the individual, the company shall calculate the specified profits of the company starting with the first financial period ending in that year of assessment. 81W Calculation of individual’s allocated share of specified profits following the initial calculation under Article 81V in the same year of assessment (1) This Article applies for the purposes of calculating an individual’s allocated share of specified profits at a relevant time (‘current relevant time’) in a year of assessment (‘current year of assessment’), such current relevant time occurring at any time in a year of assessment following an initial calculation under Article 81V for that year of assessment during an individual’s current period of share ownership.
