amount of petroleum revenue tax in respect of which a deduction has been
made under subsection (1) above is repaid by virtue of an assessment under
that Schedule or an amendment of such an assessment, then, so far as concerns
so much of that repayment as constitutes the appropriate repayment,—
(a) subsection (4) above shall not apply; and
(b) the following provisions of this section shall apply in relation to the
company which is entitled to the repayment.
(6) In subsection (5) above and the following provisions of this section—
(a) “the appropriate repayment” has the meaning assigned by sub-
paragraph (2) of paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 to the 1975 Act;

repayment, “the relevant accounting period” means the accounting

(b) the operative chargeable period in relation to each of the carried back
losses is not the same; and
(c) if subsection (6)(d) above were applied separately in relation to each

repayment shall be treated as apportioned between each of the relevant
accounting periods referred to in paragraph (c) of that subsection in such
manner as to secure that the amount added by virtue of that subsection in
relation to each of those relevant accounting periods is what it would have been

Petroleum revenue tax
121 Limit on PRT repayment interest where loss carried back.
(1) Schedule 2 to the M34 Oil Taxation Act 1975 (management and collection of PRT) shall
be amended as follows.
(2) At the beginning of paragraph 16 (interest on repayments)
there shall be inserted the words “ Subject to paragraph 17 below” .
(3) After that paragraph there shall be inserted the following paragraph—
“17 (1) This paragraph applies where—
(a) an assessment made on a participator for a chargeable period or an
amendment of such an assessment (in this paragraph referred to as
“the relevant assessment or amendment”) gives effect to relief under
subsection (2) or subsection (3) of section 7 of this Act for one or more
allowable losses accruing in a later chargeable period (in this paragraph
referred to, in relation to the relevant assessment or amendment, as “the
relief for losses carried back”); and
(b) the later chargeable period referred to in paragraph (a) above ends after
30th June 1991; and
(c) an amount of tax becomes repayable to the participator by virtue of the
relevant assessment or amendment (whether wholly or partly by reason
of giving effect to the relief for losses carried back).
(2) In the following provisions of this paragraph, so much of the repayment of tax
referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(c) above as is attributable to giving effect to
the relief for losses carried back is referred to as “the appropriate repayment”.
(3) For the purpose of determining the amount of the appropriate repayment in
a case where the relevant assessment or amendment not only gives effect to
the relief for losses carried back but also takes account of any other matter
(whether a relief or not) which goes to reduce the assessable profit of the period
in question or otherwise to reduce the tax payable for that period, the amount
of the repayment which is attributable to the relief for losses carried back is the
difference between—
(a) the total amount of tax repayable by virtue of the relevant assessment
or amendment; and
(b) the amount of tax (if any) which would have been so repayable if no
account had been taken of the relief for losses carried back.
