Scottish Widows Plc -v- Revenue and Customs - SC - 06-Jul-2011 - Lord Hope, Deputy President, Lord Walker, Lady Hale, Lord Neuberger, Lord Clarke (Bailii, [2011] UKSC 32, Bailii Summary, SC Summary, SC, UKSC 2010/0178, [2011] BTC 413, 2011 SLT 749) - Scotland - Income Tax
The taxpayer insurance company had transferred sums from accounts designated as Capital Reserves. The Revenue said that these were properly part of the profit and loss accounts for the respective tax years, and chargeable receipts.
Held: The Revenue's cross appeal succeeded. As a life assurance company, the amounts to be taken into account in computing its profits include its investment income from its long term business fund and any increase in the value of its assets during the accounting period. The amounts to be taken into account under section 83(2) were those listed on the Form 40, the revenue account submitted in respect of a Long Term Buisness Fund. It was necessary to concentrate not on the past history of the legislation, but the meaning of the sections at the relevant time.
The use of the word 'as' in 'as brought into account' showed that the calculation must be on the basis of what had actually been entered into the regulatory account, through the Form 40. The words of the statute were clear enough to dispel arguments as to alternative meanings put by the taxpayer.
