(1). FY Ltd has gross overseas profits of £72,000 in respect of which it has paid overseas tax of £9,000. It also has UK profits of £190,000. FY Ltd is in a large corporate group such that it will be liable to the main rate of corporation tax regardless of the amount of group relief claimed.
What is the maximum amount of group relief that FY Ltd can claim, such that all of the double tax relief is utilised?
