(a)a member of a large group, or
(b)a member of a large or medium-sized group.
(2)Subject to subsection (4), a company is a member of a large group at the time when any expenditure is incurred if—
(a)it is at that time the parent undertaking of a group which does not qualify as small or medium-sized in relation to the financial year of the parent undertaking in which that time falls, or
(b)it is at that time a subsidiary undertaking in relation to the parent undertaking of such a group.
(3)Subject to subsection (4), a company is a member of a large or medium-sized group at the time when any expenditure is incurred if—

(b)it is at that time a subsidiary undertaking in relation to the parent undertaking of such a group.
(4)If, at the time when any expenditure is incurred by a company, any arrangements exist which are such that, had effect been given to them immediately before that time, the company or a successor of the company—
(a)would, at that time, have been a member of a large group, or
(b)would, at that time, have been a member of a large or medium-sized group,
the company incurring the expenditure is to be treated as a member of a large group or (as the case may be) a large or medium-sized group at that time.
(5)For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), the question whether—
(a)a group qualifies as small or medium-sized, or

and “arrangements” means arrangements of any kind (whether or not in writing or legally enforceable).
(8)In this section “financial year”, “group”, “parent undertaking” and “subsidiary undertaking” have the same meaning as in—
