  • (1) In the case of cars with an original market value of £6,000 or less, Table A applies to those having an internal combustion engine with one or more reciprocating pistons, and Table B applies to other cars.
  • (2) A car's cylinder capacity is the cylinder capacity of its engine calculated as for the purposes of the Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971 or the Vehicles (Excise) Act (Northern Ireland) Act 1972.

Reduction for periods when car not available for use

2
  • (1) If for any part of the relevant year the car was unavailable, the cash equivalent is to be reduced by an amount which bears to the full amount of the equivalent (ascertained under Part I of this Schedule) the same proportion as the number of days in the year on which the car was unavailable bears to 365.
  • (2) The car is to be treated as having been unavailable on any day if—
  • (a) it was not made available to the employee until after that day, or it had ceased before that day to be available to him; or
  • (b) it was incapable of being used at all throughout a period of not less than 30 consecutive days of which that day was one.

Car used preponderantly for business purposes

3
  • (1) The cash equivalent derived from Table A, B or C is to be reduced (or, where paragraph 2 applies, further reduced) by half if it is shown to the inspector's satisfaction that the employee was required by the nature of his employment to make, and made use of the car preponderantly for business travel, which means that such travel must have amounted to at least 25,000 miles in the relevant year.
  • (2) In relation to a car which for part of the year was unavailable in the sense of paragraph 2 above, the figure of 25,000 miles above mentioned is proportionately reduced.

Reduction for employee paying for use of car

4

If in the relevant year the employee was required, as a condition of the car being available for his private use, to pay any amount of money (whether by way of deduction from his emoluments or otherwise) for that use, the cash equivalent—

  • (a) is to be reduced (or, if already reduced under the foregoing paragraphs, further reduced) by the amount so paid by the employee in or in respect of the year, or
  • (b) if that amount exceeds the equivalent shown in the applicable Table in Part I of this Schedule, is nil.

SCHEDULES 10–14.

PART I — Meaning of " Obtained by Reason of Employment "

1
  • (1) The benefit of a loan is obtained by reason of a person's employment if it was made by his employer.
  • (2) But this does not apply to a loan made by the employer, being an individual, and shown to have been made in the normal course of his domestic, family or personal relationships.
2

That benefit is so obtained if the loan was made by a company—

  • (a) over which the employer had control,
  • (b) by which the employer (being a company) was controlled, or
  • (c) which was controlled by a person by whom the employer (being a company) was controlled.
3

That benefit is so obtained if—

  • (a) the employer was or had control over, or was controlled by, a close company, and
  • (b) the loan was made by a person having a material interest in the close company or, the close company being controlled by another company, in that other company.
4

In this Part of this Schedule—

  • (a) references to a loan being made by any person include references to his assuming the rights and liabilities of the person who originally made the loan and to his arranging, guaranteeing or in any way facilitating the continuation of a loan already in existence;
  • (b) " employer " includes a prospective employer ; and
  • (c) " company ", except as part of the expression " close company ", includes a partnership.

PART II — Calculation of Cash Equivalent of Loan Benefit

General

5
  • (1) The cash equivalent for any year of the benefit obtained from a loan is—
  • (a) the amount of interest (calculated in accordance with paragraph 6 or 7 below) which would have been payable for that year had interest at the official rate been payable on the loan ; less
  • (b) the amount of interest actually paid on the loan for that year.
  • (2) Where an assessment for any year in respect of a loan has been made or determined on the footing that the whole or part of the interest payable on the loan for that year was not in fact paid, but it is subsequently paid, then, on a claim in that behalf, the cash equivalent for that year shall be recalculated so as to take that payment into account and the assessment shall be adjusted accordingly.
  • (3) All the loans between the same lender and borrower for which a cash equivalent falls to be ascertained and which are outstanding at any time, as to any amount, in any year are to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as a single loan.

Normal method of calculation (averaging)

6

In the absence of a requirement or election that paragraph 7 below should apply, the amount of interest at the official rate payable on a loan for any year (" the relevant year ") shall be ascertained as follows:

  • (a) take half the aggregate of—
  • (i) the maximum amount of the loan outstanding on 5th April preceding the relevant year or, if it was made in that year, on the date on which it was made, and
  • (ii) the maximum amount of the loan outstanding on 5th April in the relevant year or, if the loan was discharged in that year, the date of discharge ;
  • (b) multiply that figure by the number of whole months during which the loan was outstanding in that year, and divide by 12;
  • (c) multiply the result by the official rate of interest in force during the period when the loan was outstanding in that year or, if the official rate changed during that period, the average rate during that period ascertained by reference to the number of days in the period and the number of days for which each rate was in force.

Election for alternative method of calculation

7
  • (1) For any year of assessment ("the relevant year") the alternative method of calculation set out in this paragraph applies if—
  • (a) the inspector so requires, by notice in writing given to the employee, for the purpose of any assessment to income tax (or the adjustment of any such assessment in consequence of an appeal); or
  • (b) the employee so elects, by notice in writing given to the inspector within the time allowed by sub-paragraph (2) below.
  • (2) An election by the employee must be made—
  • (a) in a case where an assessment including the emoluments in question has been made on the basis of the normal method of calculation, within the time allowed for appealing against that assessment or such further time as the inspector may allow;
  • (b) where no such assessment has been made, within 6 years after the end of the relevant year of assessment.
  • (3) The alternative method of calculating the amount of interest at the official rate payable on a loan for the relevant year is as follows—
  • (a) take each period in the relevant year during which the official rate of interest remains the same ;
  • (b) for each such period take for each day in the period the maximum amount outstanding of the loan on that day, and add those amounts together ;
  • (c) multiply that sum by the official rate in force during the period divided by 365; and
  • (d) add together the resulting figures for each period in the relevant year.

PART III — Exceptions Where Interest Eligible for Relief

8
  • (1) In this Part of this Schedule " eligible for relief", in relation to interest, means eligible for relief under section 75 of the Finance Act 1972.
  • (2) In determining for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule whether interest is eligible for relief there shall be disregarded the restriction imposed by section 75(3) of the Finance Act 1972 (which provides, in relation to certain loans taken out before 27th March 1974, that the first £35 of interest paid in any year is not eligible for relief).
9

Section 66(1) does not apply to a loan in any year—

  • (a) for which interest is paid on the loan and the whole of that interest is eligible for relief, or
  • (b) for which no interest is paid on the loan but had interest been paid on it at the official rate the whole of that interest would have been eligible for relief.
10

Where for any year interest is paid on a loan and part of that interest is eligible for relief, the calculation of the cash equivalent under Part II of this Schedule is modified as follows:—

  • (a) where paragraph 6 applies, the maximum amounts referred to in paragraph 6(a)(i) and (ii) shall be proportionately reduced by reference to the proportion which so much of the interest paid for that year as is not eligible for relief bears to the whole of the interest so paid ;
  • (b) where paragraph 7 applies, the maximum amounts referred to in paragraph 7(3)(b) shall be proportionally reduced by reference to the proportion which so much of the interest paid on each such amount for the day in question as is not eligible for relief bears to the whole of the interest so paid ; and
  • (c) the amount of interest eligible for relief shall be left out of account in ascertaining for the purposes of paragraph 5(1)(b) above the amount of interest paid for that year.
11
  • (1) Where for any year no interest is paid on a loan but had interest been paid on it at the official rate part of that interest would have been eligible for relief, the calculation of the cash equivalent under Part II of this Schedule shall be modified as provided by paragraph 10(a) or (b) above with the substitution for the references to the amounts of interest paid or not eligible for relief of references to the amounts (ascertained in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph) which would have been paid or would not have been eligible for relief.
  • (2) For the purposes of paragraph 10(a) as applied by this paragraph, the whole amount of interest at the official rate which would have been paid for any year shall be taken to be the amount payable for that year calculated in accordance with paragraph 6 (disregarding paragraph 10); and the amount of that interest which would not have been eligible for relief shall be ascertained—
  • (a) by finding that amount on the assumption that the amount referred to in paragraph 6(a)(i) was the amount outstanding for the whole year ;
  • (b) by finding that amount on the assumption that the amount referred to in paragraph 6(a)(ii) was the amount outstanding for the whole year ; and
  • (c) by adding together the resulting figures and dividing by 2.
  • (3) For the purposes of paragraph 10(b) as applied by this paragraph, the amount of interest which would have been paid and the amount of it which would not have been eligible for relief shall be ascertained on the assumption that interest at the official rate was paid daily throughout the year on the maximum amount outstanding on each day.

Part I — Replacement of Section 15 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9)

Taxes Management Act 1970 (c. 9)

(6) Where, for the purposes of his return, an employer apportions expenses incurred partly in or in connection with a particular matter and partly in or in connection with other matters— (a) the return shall contain a statement that the sum included in the return is the result of such an apportionment; and (b) if required to do so by notice from the inspector, he shall prepare and deliver to the inspector, within the time limited by the notice, a return containing full particulars as to the amount apportioned and the manner in which, and the grounds on which, the apportionment has been made. (7) A notice under subsection (1) may require the return— (a) to state in respect of an employee to whom it relates whether any benefits are or have been provided for him (or for any other person) by reason of his employment, such as may give rise to charges to tax under section 196 of the principal Act, section 36 or 37 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 1975 or sections 61 to 68 of the Finance Act 1976 (miscellaneous benefits in cash or in kind); and (b) if such benefits are or have been provided, to contain such particulars of those benefits as may be specified in the notice.

(9) Where it appears to an inspector that a person has, in any year of assessment, been concerned in providing benefits to or in respect of employees of another, the insepctor may at anytime up to 6 years after the end of that year of assessment by notice require him to deliver to the inspector, within the time limited by the notice, such particulars of those benefits as may be specified in the notice (so far as known to him) and to include with those particulars the names and addresses (so far as known to him) of the employees concerned. (10) Where the employer is a body of persons, the secretary of the body or other officer (by whatever name called) performing the duties of secretary shall be treated as the employer for the purposes of this section. - Provided that, where the employer is a body corporate, that body corporate, as well as the secretary or other officer, shall be liable to a penalty for failure to comply with this section.

SCHEDULE 10

Preliminary

1

In this Schedule "transfer of value" includes a distribution payment made and a capital distribution treated as made, and references to the amount transferred by a transfer of value and to a transferor shall be construed as including respectively the amount of such a payment or distribution and the trustees of the settlement concerned.

Nature of relief

2
  • (1) Where the whole or part of the value transferred by a transfer of value is attributable to the value of any relevant business property and the transfer is made after 6th April 1976, the whole or that part of the value transferred shall be treated as reduced by 30 per cent., but subject to the following provisions of this Schedule.
  • (2) For the purposes of this paragraph, the value transferred by a transfer of value shall be calculated as a value on which no tax is chargeable.

Relevant business property

3
  • (1) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph and to paragraphs 4, 5 and 8(3) below, in this Schedule " relevant business property " means, in relation to any transfer of value,—
  • (a) property consisting of a business or interest in a business ;
  • (b) shares in or securities of a company which (either by themselves or together with other such shares or securities owned by the transferor) gave the transferor control of the company immediately before the transfer; and
  • (c) any land or building, machinery or plant which, immediately before the transfer, was used wholly or mainly for the purposes of a business carried on by a company of which the transferor then had control or by a partnership of which he then was a partner ;

and " business" includes a business carried on in the exercise of a profession or vocation, but does not include a business carried on otherwise than for gain.

  • (2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, a business or interest in a business, or shares in or securities of a company are not relevant business property, if the business or, as the case may be, the business carried on by the company, consists wholly or mainly of one or more of the following, that is to say, dealing in securities, stocks or shares, land or buildings or making or holding investments.
  • (3) Sub-paragraph (2) above—
  • (a) does not apply to any property if the business concerned is that of a jobber (as defined in section 477 of the Taxes Act) or discount house and is carried on in the United Kingdom, and
  • (b) does not apply to shares in or securities of a company if the business of the company consists wholly or mainly in being a holding company of one or more companies whose business does not fall within that sub-paragraph.
  • (4) Where any property would be relevant business property in relation to a transfer of value but a binding contract for its sale has been entered into at the time of the transfer, it is not relevant business property in relation to the transfer unless—
  • (a) the property is a business or interest in a business and the sale is to a company which is to carry on the business and is made in consideration wholly or mainly of shares in or securities of that company ; or
  • (b) the property is shares in or securities of a company and the sale is made for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation.
  • (5) Shares in or securities of a company are not relevant business property in relation to a transfer of value if at the time of the transfer a winding-up order has been made in respect of the company or the company has passed a resolution for voluntary winding-up or is otherwise in process of liquidation, unless the business of the company is to continue to be carried on after a reconstruction or amalgamation and the reconstruction or amalgamation either is the purpose of the winding-up or liquidation or takes place not later than one year after the transfer of value.
  • (6) Land, a building, machinery or plant owned by the transferor and used wholly or mainly for the purposes of a business carried on as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c) above is not relevant business property in relation to a transfer of value, unless the transferor's interest in the business is or, as the case may be, shares or securities of the company carrying on the business immediately before the transfer are, relevant business property in relation to the transfer.

Minimum period of ownership

4
  • (1) Property is not relevant business property in relation to a transfer of value unless—
  • (a) it was owned by the transferor throughout the two years immediately preceding the transfer ; or
  • (b) it replaced other property and it, the other property and any property directly or indirectly replaced by the other property were owned by the transferor for periods which together comprised at least two years falling within the five years immediately preceding the transfer of value ;

and, in the case of paragraph (b) above, any other property concerned was such that, had the transfer of value been made immediately before the property was replaced, that property would (apart from this paragraph) have been relevant business property in relation to the transfer.

  • (2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (1)(b) above relief under this Schedule shall not exceed what it would have been had the replacement or any one or more of the replacements not been made.
  • (3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) above changes resulting from the formation, alteration or dissolution of a partnership or from the acquisition of a business by a company controlled by the former owner of the business shall be disregarded.

  • (a) he shall be deemed to have owned it from the date of the death ; and
  • (b) if that other person was his spouse he shall also be deemed to have owned it for any period during which the spouse owned it.
5
  • (1) Where—
  • (a) the whole or part of the value transferred by a transfer of value (in this paragraph referred to as the earlier transfer) was eligible for relief under this Schedule (or would have been so eligible if such relief had been capable of being given in respect of transfers of value made at that time) ; and
  • (b) the whole or part of the property which, in relation to the earlier transfer, was relevant business property became, through the earlier transfer, the property of the person or of the spouse of the person who is the transferor in relation to a subsequent transfer of value; and
  • (c) that property or part, or any property directly or indirectly replacing it would (apart from paragraph 4 above) have been relevant business property in relation to the subsequent transfer of value ; and
  • (d) either the earlier transfer was, or the subsequent transfer of value is, a transfer made on the death of the transferor ;

the property which would have been relevant business property but for paragraph 4 above shall be relevant business property notwithstanding that paragraph.

  • (2) Where the property which, by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above, is relevant business property replaced the property or part referred to in paragraph (c) of that sub-paragraph, relief under this Schedule shall not exceed what it would have been had the replacement or any one or more of the replacements not been made, but paragraph 4(3) above shall apply with the necessary modifications for the purposes of this sub-paragraph.
  • (3) Where, under the earlier transfer, the amount of the value transferred which was attributable to the property or part referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(c) above was part only of its value, a like part only of the value which (apart from this sub-paragraph) would fall to be reduced under this Schedule by virtue of this paragraph shall be so reduced.

Value of business

6

For the purposes of this Schedule the value of a business or of an interest in a business shall be taken to be the value which would be its net value if determined under paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 4 to the Finance Act 1975.

Value of shares in or securities of certain companies

7

Where a company is a member of a group and the business of any other company which is a member of the group falls within paragraph 3(2) above, then, unless either—

  • (a) that business also falls within paragraph 3(3) above, or
  • (b) that business consists wholly or mainly in the holding of land or buildings wholly or mainly occupied by members of the group whose business either does not fall within paragraph 3(2) above or falls within both that paragraph and paragraph 3(3) above,

the value of shares in or securities of the company shall be taken for the purposes of this Schedule to be what it would be if that other company were not a member of the group.

Exclusion of value of excepted assets

8
  • (1) In determining for the purposes of this Schedule what part of the value transferred by a transfer of value is attributable to the value of any relevant business property so much of the last-mentioned value as is attributable to any excepted assets within the meaning of sub-paragraph (2) below shall be left out of account.
  • (2) An asset is an excepted asset in relation to any relevant business property if it was not either used wholly or mainly for the purposes of the business concerned throughout the whole or the last two years of the relevant period defined in sub-paragraph (5) below, or required at the time of the transfer for future use for those purposes ; but where the business concerned is carried on by a company which is a member of a group, the use of an asset for the purposes of a business carried on by another company which at the time of the use and immediately before the transfer was also a member of that group shall be treated as use for the purposes of the business concerned, unless that other company's membership of the group falls to be disregarded under paragraph 7 above.
  • (3) Sub-paragraph (2) above does not apply in relation to an asset which is relevant business property by virtue only of paragraph 3(1)(c) above, but an asset is not relevant business property by virtue only of that paragraph unless either—
  • (a) it was used as mentioned in that paragraph throughout the two years immediately preceding the transfer of value ; or
  • (b) it replaced another asset so used and it and the other asset and any asset directly or indirectly replaced by that other asset were so used for periods which together comprised at least two years falling within the five years immediately preceding the transfer of value ;

but in a case where paragraph 5 above applies this condition shall be treated as satisfied if the asset (or it and the asset or assets replaced by it) was or were so used throughout the period between the earlier and the subsequent transfer mentioned in that paragraph (or throughout the part of that period during which it or they were owned by the transferor or the transferor's spouse).

  • (4) Where part but not the whole of any land or building is used exclusively for the purposes of any business and the land or building would, but for this sub-paragraph, be an excepted asset, or, as the case may be, prevented by sub-paragraph (3) above from being relevant business property, the part so used and the remainder shall for the purposes of this paragraph be treated as separate assets, and the value of the part so used shall (if it would otherwise be less) be taken to be such proportion of the value of the whole as may be just.
  • (5) For the purposes of this paragraph the relevant period, in relation to any asset, is the period immediately preceding the transfer of value during which the asset (or, if the relevant business property is an interest in a business, a corresponding interest in the asset) was owned by the transferor or, if the business concerned is that of a company, was owned by that company or any other company which immediately before the transfer of value was a member of the same group.
  • (6) For the purposes of this paragraph an asset shall be deemed not to have been used wholly or mainly for the purposes of the business concerned at any time when it was used wholly or mainly for the personal benefit of the transferor or of a person connected with him.

Avoidance of double relief

9

So much of the value transferred by a transfer of value as is attributable to shares in or securities of a company which would not have been sufficient, without any other property, to give the transferor control of the company immediately before the transfer shall not be reduced under this Schedule, if the value of the shares or securities is taken, by virtue of paragraph 9A of Schedule 10 to the Finance Act 1975, to be less than the value previously determined.

10

Where any part of the value transferred by a transfer of value is reduced under Schedule 8 to the Finance Act 1975 by reference to the agricultural value of any property, or would be so reduced but for paragraph 1(2A) thereof, such part of the value transferred as is or would be so reduced under that Schedule shall not be reduced under this Schedule.

11

Where the value transferred by a transfer of value is reduced under paragraph 4 of Schedule 9 to the Finance Act 1975 by reference to the tax chargeable on the disposal of any trees or underwood, the value to be reduced under paragraph 2 above shall be the value as reduced under the said paragraph 4 (but subject to paragraph 2(2) above).
