In the current environment many businesses are considering their funding options and refinancing as part of the wider package of measures to be able to innovate, adapt, prosper and to cope with the interesting times in which we find ourselves. Note that following Brexit and the end of the transition exit period on 31 December 2021, payments of interest, royalties, and dividends to UK companies ceased to qualify for relief under the Interest and Royalties Directive (IRD) and the Parent-Subsidiary Directive (PSD), respectively, from 1 January 2021. For this reason the late interest rules postpone relief for the borrower, in certain circumstances, when interest is paid late. The PIK notes are treated for tax purposes as representing interest paid, although they are in fact further loans which themselves bear interest. Therefore, it is always advisable to seek clearance from HMRC when entering into a transaction involving loan notes. See CFM35850.

For further details about the due diligence process, see the Due diligence guidance note.Companies may restructure prior to a sale by hiving down the trade and assets to be transferred into a new company so that liabilities (which may not be related to tax) are left behind in the existing company and hence not transferred to the purchaser. This is because when a redemption premium exceeds a low bar (broadly 0.5% per year) the loan can be classed as a qualifying corporate bond (QCB). In cases of capitalised or compound interest, the amount to be added to the principal sum at any periodic rest should be the gross amount of the unpaid interest. The way in which the loan notes are treated for tax purposes depends on whether the loan notes are classified as QCBs or non-QCBs. The payment mechanism generally used in residential mortgage notes is full amortization of principal and interest, i.e., equal (level) payments of principal and interest on a monthly basis for 15, 20, or 30 years until the loan is entirely repaid. 100,1 These may be used, for example, in private equity financing arrangements.

HMRC clearances will be required if this demerger route is chosen and appropriate time should be built into the transactions process for these. In the UK there are exemptions from the UK transfer pricing rules for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
