Article 85 - Regulation 575/2013 (CRR)

Article 85

Qualifying Tier 1 instruments included in consolidated Tier 1 capital

1.  

Institutions shall determine the amount of qualifying Tier 1 capital of a subsidiary that is included in consolidated own funds by subtracting from the qualifying Tier 1 capital of that undertaking the result of multiplying the amount referred to in point (a) by the percentage referred to in point (b) as follows:

(a) 

the Tier 1 capital of the subsidiary minus the lower of the following:

(i) 

the amount of Tier 1 capital of the subsidiary required to meet the following:

(1) 

where the subsidiary is one of those listed in Article 81(1), point (a), of this Regulation but not an investment firm or an intermediate investment holding company, the sum of the requirement laid down in Article 92(1), point (b), of this Regulation, the requirements referred to in Articles 458 and 459 of this Regulation, the specific own funds requirements referred to in Article 104 of Directive 2013/36/EU and the combined buffer requirement defined in Article 128, point (6), of that Directive, or any local supervisory regulations in third countries insofar as those requirements are to be met by Tier 1 capital;

(2) 

where the subsidiary is an investment firm or an intermediate investment holding company, the sum of the requirement laid down in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033, the specific own funds requirements referred to in Article 39(2), point (a), of Directive (EU) 2019/2034, or any local supervisory regulations in third countries insofar as those requirements are to be met by Tier 1 capital;

(ii) 

the amount of consolidated Tier 1 capital that relates to that subsidiary that is required on a consolidated basis to meet the sum of the requirement laid down in Article 92(1), point (b), of this Regulation, the requirements referred to in Articles 458 and 459 of this Regulation, the specific own funds requirements referred to in Article 104 of Directive 2013/36/EU and the combined buffer requirement defined in Article 128, point (6), of that Directive, or any local supervisory regulations in third countries, insofar as those requirements are to be met by Tier 1 capital;

(b) 

the qualifying Tier 1 capital of the subsidiary expressed as a percentage of all Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 items of that undertaking.

By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, point (a), the competent authority may allow an institution to subtract either of the amounts referred to in point (a)(i) or (ii), once that institution has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the additional amount of Tier 1 capital is available to absorb losses at consolidated level.

2.  
The calculation referred to in paragraph 1 shall be undertaken on a sub-consolidated basis for each subsidiary referred to in Article 81(1).

An institution may choose not to undertake this calculation for a subsidiary referred to in Article 81(1). Where an institution takes such a decision, the qualifying Tier 1 capital of that subsidiary may not be included in consolidated Tier 1 capital.

3.  
Where a competent authority derogates from the application of prudential requirements on an individual basis, as laid down in Article 7 of this Regulation or, where applicable, as laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2033, Tier 1 instruments within the subsidiaries to which the waiver is applied shall not be recognised as own funds at the sub‐consolidated or at the consolidated level, as applicable.
