Group Relief. (i) In the case of Tax Returns described in clause (ii) of the definition of "Combined Return," where current period or brought forward losses or excess charges of one entity can be surrendered to or utilised by another entity, representatives of SCL and XXXX shall agree before any tax filings are made, what losses or charges are to be surrendered between entities and shall prepare the necessary elections or filings for this surrender, utilisation or loss claim. To facilitate this agreement, the representatives of each group shall advise the other group representative the extent of the losses or charges that are potentially available for surrender to the other group or the extent of the losses or charges that the group wishes to claim from the other group. In all cases, howsoever the parties subsequently may amend their tax returns or computations, when the parties initially advise each other of the quantity of losses or excess charges that could be surrendered or the losses or charges which could be claimed, each entity within each group will include in its computation of taxable income or loss all available allowances, deductions or charges that it is legally allowed to make. If the representatives of SCL and XXXX are unable to agree what losses or charges shall be surrendered between entities, either party wishing to claim the losses or charges from another entity must put the request in writing. The group receiving this request must respond to it within 5 days of the request being made, unless this deadline is extended by the agreement of both of the groups. (ii) Where either SCL or XXXX claims losses or excess charges from the other group, it shall pay the other group compensation for the use of the losses or charges equal to the amount of the additional tax liability that would have arisen had the losses not been surrendered. This payment shall be made within [5] days of the claimant entity submitting the tax return or other filing that includes the claim for losses from the other entity. (iii) In computing these amounts, each entity within each group will include in its computation of taxable income or loss all available allowances, deductions or charges that it is legally allowed to make. In addition, each group must use any brought forward or current period losses or excess charges available in any of its companies against the taxable income of the other companies in the same group before any of these losses or charges can be offered to the other group or before losses or charges are claimed from the other group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it may be possible that one group wishes to claim losses or excess charges from the other group even though the claim would not be required if the claimant group included in its computation of taxable income or loss all available allowances, deductions or charges that it is legally allowed to make. In this case, the claimant group shall pay the other group compensation for the use of the losses or charges equal to the amount of the additional tax liability that would have arisen had the losses not been surrendered. This payment shall be made within [5] days of the claimant entity submitting the tax return or other filing that includes the claim for losses from the other entity. (iv) A group may refuse to surrender brought forward or current year losses or excess charges in any given period; provided, however if it does so, the refusing group shall pay to the other group compensation equal to the amount of additional tax that results from the refusal to surrender the losses or charges. The amount of additional tax is calculated as the tax liability of the claimant company less the payment that would have occurred had the losses or charges claimed by the claimant been surrendered. (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a group with brought forward or current year losses or excess charges may not force the other group to claim these losses or charges if the other group does not wish to do so. (vi) SCL and XXXX recognise that either group may submit amended tax returns for periods covered by this agreement, which could affect the losses claimed by or surrendered to the other group, including (without limitation) the carryback of losses from a Post-Deconsolidation Period to a Pre-Deconsolidation Period of a company that initially claimed losses of another company for such Pre-Deconsolidation Period. If an amended tax return is submitted, the filing group must advise the other group in writing of this, and must state, to the best of its knowledge, the impact it expects the amended filing will have either on the losses claimed by or surrendered to the other group, or any other anticipated impact on the other group's tax filings for the period covered by the amended return or for subsequent periods. Once the amended return is determined, the refiling group shall advise the other group of the determination and the revised final tax position of the entity that has submitted the amended return. To the extent that any refiling increases the tax liability of the other group, the refiling group shall pay any interest levied by the tax authorities in the country concerned in respect of this additional liability. The principal liability is for the sole account of the other group (ie is not for the account of the refiling group), as if the amended return had been filed originally. To the extent that any refiling reduces the losses claimed by the refiling group from the other group, or that can be claimed by the other group from the refiling group, the surrendering group shall repay, without interest, any compensation it has previously received for the initial surrender of losses or excess charges that are not now available as a result of the refiling. To the extent that any refiling increases the losses claimed by the refiling group from the other group, or increases the losses that are claimed from the refiling group, the claimant group shall pay the other group compensation for the use of the losses or charges equal to the amount of the additional tax liability that it has saved by the use of the losses or excess charges. To the extent that claiming the additional losses or charges increases the surrendering company's liability in any subsequent period for which tax filings or payments on account have already been made, the claimant company shall pay any interest levied by the Tax Authorities concerned in respect of this additional liability.
