  • (1) In the case of a transfer of securities with accrued interest, for the purposes of this Chapter a payment is treated as made by the transferee to the transferor in the interest period in which the settlement day falls.

  • (a) for the consideration for the securities, and
  • (b) for gross interest accruing to the settlement day.
  • (3) If the transfer is under such an arrangement, the amount of the payment is the amount of gross interest which the transferee accounts for.
  • (4) If—
  • (a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
  • (b) the settlement day is itself an interest payment day for the securities,

the amount of the payment is the amount of interest payable on the securities on that day.

  • (b) subsections (2), (3), (4)(a) and (5)(a) were omitted.

  • (3) If the transfer is under such an arrangement, the amount of the payment is the amount of gross interest which the transferor accounts for.
  • (4) If—
  • (a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
  • (b) the settlement day is itself an interest payment day for the securities,

the amount of the payment is nil.

  • (5) If—
  • (a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
  • (b) the settlement day is not an interest payment day for the securities,

the amount of the payment is an amount equal to—

$$I×AB$where—I is the interest payable on the securities on the first interest payment day after the settlement day (“the payment day”),A is the number of days in the period beginning with the day after the settlement day and ending with the payment day, andB is the number of days in the period beginning with the first day on which that interest accrues and ending with the payment day.$

  • (6) For the purposes of subsection (5), the first day on which that interest accrues is taken to be—
  • (a) the day after the last interest payment day before the settlement day, or
