CIRD11680 - Intangible assets within CTA09/PART8: FA02 rule: general conditions: time when asset created or acquired: exceptions to expenditure incurred rule: goodwillCTA09/PART8/S884
CTA09/S715 (4) was added by FA09/S70 to confirm that, for the purposes of the regime, goodwill is ‘created’ in the course of carrying on the business in question (and not on the acquisition of a business or the recognition of expenditure on such an acquisition). The position prior to the FA09 amendments is essentially no different and was confirmed in the case of Greenbank Holidays Ltd v HMRC Commissioners [2010] UK FTT 109 (TC) (“Greenbank”) and upheld by the Upper Tribunal in Greenbank Holidays Ltd v HMRC Commissioners [2011] UKUT B11 TCC.
To address the practical difficulties of determining when goodwill is created, as described in CIRD11675, CTA09/S884 provides that goodwill is regarded as wholly created before 1 April 2002 if the business to which it relates was carried on by the company in question, or a ‘related party’ (CIRD45105 onwards), at any time prior to that date.
The effect of this provision is that where such a business is sold on or after 1 April 2002 the disposal proceeds of the goodwill will be wholly outside Part 8 so long as no part of the proceeds represents further goodwill of a business acquired on or after that date and falling within Part 8.
If any of the proceeds do represent further goodwill within Part 8, then it will remain necessary to apportion the proceeds between the goodwill falling within the CG rules and the goodwill within Part 8.
Business carried on by related party prior to 1 April 2002
The extension of this rule to the case where a related party carried on the business before 1 April 2002 will be relevant in applying the provision described in CIRD11650. That is because for the purpose of that provision the goodwill cannot be treated as created on or after 1 April 2002 if the related party carried on the business to which it relates at any time prior to that date.
