Completing the Sheets

Double Tax Relief
This sheet is automated. Figures relevant to calculating DTR attributable to accounting periods are linked from the
Foreign income
,
Chargeable disposal
or
Overseas PE summary
sheets.
  • Amounts analysed on the
    Foreign income
    sheet are linked to the relevant section on the
    Double tax relief
    sheet depending on the income category selection. Only those
    Foreign income
    items that were subject to foreign withholding tax are linked here.
  • The
    Foreign chargeable gains
    section on the
    Double tax relief
    sheet lists relevant information from each
    Chargeable disposal
    sheet where you added amounts of foreign tax suffered and provided that you decided not to deduct foreign tax on the
    Chargeable disposal
    sheet relevant to the disposal.
  • Trading income from foreign permanent establishments is linked to the foreign trading income section of the
    Double tax relief
    sheet from the
    Overseas PE summary
    sheet. It will be treated similar to other foreign trading income linked here from the
    Foreign income
    sheet.
Amounts of DTR for the accounting period are calculated automatically considering the net income attributable to each linked item and the amount of tax suffered in the UK and the foreign jurisdiction. Amounts of DTR are calculated individually for each item and are capped so they cannot exceed the amount of UK tax payable on each item.
Total DTR calculated on the sheet is used on the
Tax calculation
sheet as a deduction from tax due. It is also used on the
Corporate interest restriction
sheet as part of the Tax-EBITDA calculation.
