Paragraph 1

A scheme or arrangement, other than a scheme or arrangement falling within sub-paragraph (3), is a prescribed scheme or arrangement if one or more of paragraphs 2 to 6 apply to it.

A scheme or arrangement falling within sub-paragraph (3) is a prescribed scheme or arrangement if one or more of paragraphs 2 to 6 would, on the assumption in sub-paragraph (4), apply to it.

A scheme or arrangement falls within this sub-paragraph if its main purpose, or one of its main purposes, is to cause an amount of underlying tax allowable in respect of a dividend paid by a body corporate resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom to be taken into account in the case of a person.

The assumption is that the body corporate is resident in the United Kingdom.

Nothing in sub-paragraph (4) requires it to be assumed that there is any change in the place or places at which the body corporate carries on its activities.
