CV 4: Amalgamated companies: amount derived after amalgamation

You could also call this:

“New company's income from old companies' actions after joining together”

When companies join together, it’s called an amalgamation. After this happens, the new company might get money because of something the old companies did or didn’t do. If this happens, you need to know two things:

First, the new company gets this money. It doesn’t go to the old companies that joined together.

Second, if this money would have been income for one of the old companies before they joined together, it’s also income for the new company. The new company must count it as income in the year they get the money.

This rule is linked to another part of the law called section FO 7, which talks about income after companies join together.
