Step 1 Deduct any relevant allowable losses from the chargeable gains referred to in subsection (3) in the order in which they appear there (starting with paragraph (a) of that subsection). If allowable losses are deductible from the chargeable gains referred to in subsection (3)(b) but are not enough to exhaust them all— (a) those chargeable gains are to be ordered according to the day on which they accrued, (b) the losses are to be deducted from those gains in reverse chronological order (starting with the last chargeable gain to accrue), and (c) if allowable losses are deductible from chargeable gains that accrued on a particular day but are not enough to exhaust all of the chargeable gains that accrued on that day, the amount deducted from each of those chargeable gains is the appropriate proportion of the losses. In paragraph (c) “the appropriate proportion”, in relation to a chargeable gain, is the amount of that gain divided by the total amount of the chargeable gains that accrued on the day in question. Step 2 Treat the amount referred to in section 2(2) or (4)(a) or 16ZB(3)(a) as being equal to— (a) the amount it would be if there were no relevant allowable losses, minus (b) the total amount deducted under Step 1 from chargeable gains within subsection (3)(a) or (c). (3) The chargeable gains are— (a) foreign chargeable gains accruing to the individual in the tax year, to the extent that they are remitted to the United Kingdom in that year, (b) foreign chargeable gains accruing to the individual in that year, to the extent that they are not so remitted in that year, and (c) chargeable gains accruing to the individual in that year (other than foreign chargeable gains). (4) Chargeable gains treated as accruing under section 87 or 89(2) (read, where appropriate, with section 10A) are not within any paragraph of subsection (3). (5) Chargeable gains treated as accruing under section 12 are not within subsection (3)(c). (6) For the purposes of subsection (3) foreign chargeable gains are remitted to the United Kingdom if they are regarded as so remitted for the purposes of section 12. (7) In this section— - “relevant allowable losses” means the allowable losses that section 2(2) provides may be deducted from chargeable gains accruing to the individual in the tax year, and - “foreign chargeable gains” has the meaning given by section 12(4). (16ZD) (1) This section applies if section 16ZC applies to an individual for a tax year. (2) Any allowable loss deducted under step 1 of section 16ZC(2) is to be regarded (for the purposes of section 2(2)(b)) as allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing to the individual in the tax year. (3) If a deduction is made under step 1 of section 16ZC(2) from a foreign chargeable gain within section 16ZC(3)(b), the amount of the foreign chargeable gain is reduced by the amount deducted.

(3) The following provisions apply if any of the unremitted foreign securities income is remitted to the United Kingdom after the end of the tax year referred to in subsection (2)(b). (4) The person liable for the capital gains tax on any chargeable gains arising on the disposal may make a claim for section 119A(2) to have effect as if the remitted income had been remitted before the end of that tax year. (5) All adjustments (by way of repayment of tax, assessment or otherwise) are to be made which are necessary to give effect to a claim under subsection (4). (6) Those adjustments may be made at any time, despite anything to the contrary in any enactment relating to capital gains tax.

104

After section 14 of that Act insert—

(14A) (1) This section applies if— (a) by virtue of section 13, part of a chargeable gain that accrues to a company on the disposal of an asset is treated as accruing to an individual in a tax year, and (b) the individual is not domiciled in the United Kingdom in that year. (2) The part of the chargeable gain treated as accruing to the individual (“the deemed chargeable gain”) is a foreign chargeable gain within the meaning of section 12 if (and only if) the asset is situated outside the United Kingdom. (3) For the purposes of Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 (remittance basis)— (a) treat any consideration obtained by the company on the disposal of the asset as deriving from the deemed chargeable gain, and (b) unless the consideration so obtained is of an amount equal to the market value of the asset, treat the asset as deriving from the deemed chargeable gain. (4) If— (a) the deemed chargeable gain is a foreign chargeable gain (within the meaning of section 12), (b) section 809B, 809D or 809E of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) applies to the individual for the year mentioned in subsection (1), and (c) any of the deemed chargeable gain is remitted to the United Kingdom in a tax year after that year, the chargeable gain treated under section 12(2) as accruing may not be reduced or extinguished under section 13(8).

105

The amendments made by paragraphs 103 and 104 have effect in relation to chargeable gains accruing on or after 6 April 2008.

Attribution of gains to beneficiaries

106

TCGA 1992 is amended as follows.

107

In section 85(11) (disposal of interests in non-resident settlements), for the words from “there would” to the end substitute “ chargeable gains would be treated under section 89(2) or paragraph 8 of Schedule 4C as accruing in the following year of assessment to a beneficiary who received a capital payment from the trustees of the settlement in that year. ”

108

For section 87 substitute—

(87) (1) This section applies to a settlement for a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) if the trustees are neither resident nor ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom in that year. (2) Chargeable gains are treated as accruing in the relevant tax year to a beneficiary of the settlement who has received a capital payment from the trustees in the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year if all or part of the capital payment is matched (under section 87A as it applies for the relevant tax year) with the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year. (3) The amount of chargeable gains treated as accruing is equal to— (a) the amount of the capital payment, or (b) if only part of the capital payment is matched, the amount of that part. (4) The section 2(2) amount for a settlement for a tax year for which this section applies to the settlement is— (a) the amount upon which the trustees of the settlement would be chargeable to tax under section 2(2) for that year if they were resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom in that year, or (b) if section 86 applies to the settlement for that year, the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) minus the total amount of chargeable gains treated under that section as accruing in that year. (5) The section 2(2) amount for a settlement for a tax year for which this section does not apply to the settlement is nil. (6) For the purposes of this section a settlement arising under a will or intestacy is treated as made by the testator or intestate at the time of death. (87A) (1) This section supplements section 87. (2) The following steps are to be taken for the purposes of matching capital payments with section 2(2) amounts. Step 1 Find the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year. Step 2 Find the total amount of capital payments received by the beneficiaries from the trustees in the relevant tax year. Step 3 The section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year is matched with— (a) if the total amount of capital payments received in the relevant tax year does not exceed the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year, each capital payment so received, and (b) otherwise, the relevant proportion of each of those capital payments. “The relevant proportion” is the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year divided by the total amount of capital payments received in the relevant tax year. Step 4 If paragraph (a) of Step 3 applies— (a) reduce the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year by the total amount of capital payments referred to there, and (b) reduce the amount of those capital payments to nil. If paragraph (b) of that Step applies— (a) reduce the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year to nil, and (b) reduce the amount of each of the capital payments referred to there by the relevant proportion of that capital payment. Step 5 Start again at Step 1 (unless subsection (3) applies). If the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year (as reduced under Step 4) is not nil, read references to capital payments received in the relevant tax year as references to capital payments received in the latest tax year which— (a) is before the last tax year for which Steps 1 to 4 have been undertaken, and (b) is a tax year in which capital payments (the amounts of which have not been reduced to nil) were received by beneficiaries. If the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year (as so reduced) is nil, read references to the section 2(2) amount for the relevant tax year as the section 2(2) amount for the latest tax year— (a) which is before the last tax year for which Steps 1 to 4 have been undertaken, and (b) for which the section 2(2) amount is not nil. (3) This subsection applies if— (a) all of the capital payments received by beneficiaries from the trustees in the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year have been reduced to nil, or (b) the section 2(2) amounts for the relevant tax year and all earlier tax years have been reduced to nil. (4) The effect of any reduction under Step 4 of subsection (2) is to be taken into account in any subsequent application of this section. (87B) (1) This section applies if— (a) chargeable gains are treated under section 87 as accruing to an individual in a tax year, (b) section 809B, 809D or 809E (remittance basis) applies to the individual for that year, and (c) the individual is not domiciled in the United Kingdom in that year. (2) The chargeable gains are foreign chargeable gains within the meaning of section 12 (non-UK domiciled beneficiaries to whom remittance basis applies). (3) For the purposes of Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 (remittance basis) treat relevant property or benefits as deriving from the chargeable gains. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3) property or a benefit is “relevant” if the capital payment by reason of which the chargeable gains are treated as accruing consists of— (a) the payment or transfer of the property or its becoming property to which section 60 applies, or (b) the conferring of the benefit. (87C) (1) For the purposes of sections 87 and 87A as they apply in relation to a settlement, no account is to be taken of a capital payment (or a part of a capital payment) within subsection (2). (2) A capital payment is within this subsection if (and to the extent that) it is received (or treated as received) in a tax year from the trustees of the settlement by a company that— (a) is not resident in the United Kingdom in that year, and (b) would be a close company if it were resident in the United Kingdom, (and is not treated under any of subsections (3) to (5) of section 96 as received by another person).

  • (2) For subsection (2) substitute—

(2) Chargeable gains are treated as accruing in a tax year (in the resident period) to a beneficiary of the settlement who receives a capital payment from the trustees in that year if all or part of the capital payment is matched (under section 87A as it applies for that year) with the section 2(2) amount for the last non-resident tax year or any earlier tax year. (3) Section 87(3) and (4) and sections 87A to 87C apply for the purposes of subsection (2) as if the relevant tax year were the tax year mentioned in subsection (2). (4) Section 87B (remittance basis) applies in relation to chargeable gains treated under subsection (2) as accruing as it applies in relation to chargeable gains treated under section 87 as accruing.

111

(6) If neither section 87 nor section 89(2) would otherwise apply to the transferee settlement for the year of transfer— (a) section 89(2) to (4) apply to the settlement for that year (and subsequent tax years), and (b) for this purpose, references there to the last non-resident tax year are to be read as the year of transfer. (7) The increase under subsection (3) has effect for the year of transfer and subsequent tax years. (8) The reduction under subsection (5) has effect for tax years after the year of transfer. (9) When calculating the market value of property for the purposes of this section or section 90A in a case where the property is subject to a debt, reduce the market value by the amount of the debt. (10) This section does not apply to— (a) a transfer to which Schedule 4B applies, or (b) any section 2(2) amount that is in a Schedule 4C pool (see paragraph 1 of Schedule 4C).

117

In the application of section 87 of TCGA 1992 for a tax year by virtue of section 88, no account is to be taken of any capital payment received before 6 April 1991.

118

  • (1) This paragraph applies to a settlement if section 87 or 89(2) of TCGA 1992 applied to it for the tax year 2007-08 or any earlier tax year.
  • (2) The following steps are to be taken for the purposes of calculating the section 2(2) amount for the settlement for the tax year 2007-08 and earlier tax years.

Step 1

Calculate (in accordance with section 87 and, where appropriate, section 88) the section 2(2) amount for the settlement for the tax year 2007-08 and earlier tax years.

For this purpose, references in section 87(4) and (5) of TCGA 1992 (as substituted) to section 87 of that Act applying to a settlement for a tax year are to be read as references to section 87 of that Act (as it had effect before that substitution) applying to a settlement for a tax year.

Step 2

Find the total amount of chargeable gains treated under section 87 or 89(2) as accruing to beneficiaries of the settlement in the tax year 2007-08 or any earlier tax year (“the total deemed gains”).

Step 3

Find the earliest tax year for which the section 2(2) amount is not nil.

If the section 2(2) amount for that year is less than or equal to the total deemed gains, reduce that section 2(2) amount to nil.

Otherwise, reduce that section 2(2) amount by the amount of the total deemed gains.

Step 4

Reduce the total deemed gains by the amount by which the section 2(2) amount was reduced under Step 3.

Step 5

If the total deemed gains is not nil, start again at Step 3.

For this purpose, read references to the earliest tax year for which the section 2(2) amount is not nil as references to the earliest tax year—

  • (a) which is after the last tax year for which Steps 3 and 4 have been undertaken, and
  • (b) for which the section 2(2) amount is not nil.
  • (3) If, before 6 April 2008, the trustees of the settlement made a transfer of value to which Schedule 4B to TCGA 1992 applied, sub-paragraph (2) has effect subject to such modifications as are just and reasonable on account of Schedule 4C to that Act having applied in relation to the settlement.
  • (4) This paragraph does not apply if section 90 of TCGA 1992 applied to a transfer of settled property by or to the trustees of the settlement that was made before 6 April 2008 (see paragraph 121).
121
  • (1) If section 90 of TCGA 1992 (as originally enacted) applied to a transfer of settled property made before 6 April 2008, this paragraph applies in relation to the transferor settlement and the transferee settlement.
  • (2) In this paragraph “the year of transfer” means the tax year in which the transfer occurred.
  • (3) The following steps are to be taken for the purpose of calculating the section 2(2) amount for the transferor and transferee settlements for the tax year 2007-08 and earlier tax years.

Step 1

Take the steps in paragraph 120(2) for the purpose of calculating the section 2(2) amount (at the end of the year of transfer) for the transferor settlement for the year of transfer and earlier tax years.

For this purpose, read references there to the tax year 2007-08 as references to the year of transfer.

Step 2

Take the steps in paragraph 120(2) for the purpose of calculating the section 2(2) amount (before the year of transfer) for the transferee settlement for the tax year before the year of transfer and earlier tax years.

For this purpose, read references there to the tax year 2007-08 as references to the tax year before the year of transfer.

Step 3

Calculate the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for the year of transfer.

Step 4

Treat the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for the year of transfer or any earlier tax year (as calculated under Step 2 or 3) as increased by—

  • (a) the section 2(2) amount for the transferor settlement for that year (as calculated under Step 1), or
  • (b) if part only of the settled property was transferred, the relevant proportion of the amount mentioned in paragraph (a).

“The relevant proportion” here has the same meaning as in section 90(4) of TCGA 1992 (as substituted by this Schedule).

Step 5

Treat the section 2(2) amount for the transferor settlement for any tax year as reduced by the amount by which the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for that year is increased under Step 4.

Step 6

Take the steps in paragraph 120(2) for the purpose of calculating the section 2(2) amount for the transferor settlement for the tax year 2007-08 and earlier tax years.

For this purpose—

  • (a) treat the section 2(2) amount for the year of transfer or any earlier tax year as the amount calculated by taking Steps 1 and 5 above, and
  • (b) reduce the total deemed gains by the amount of the total deemed gains calculated by taking Step 1 above.

Step 7

Take the steps in paragraph 120(2) for the purpose of calculating the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for the tax year 2007-08 and earlier tax years.

For this purpose—

  • (a) treat the section 2(2) amount for the year of transfer or any earlier tax year as the amount calculated by taking Steps 2 to 4 above, and
  • (b) reduce the total deemed gains by the amount of the total deemed gains calculated by taking Step 2 above.
  • (4) This paragraph applies with any necessary modifications in relation to a settlement as respects which more than one relevant transfer was made.
  • (5) In sub-paragraph (4) “relevant transfer” means a transfer—
  • (a) made before 6 April 2008, and
  • (b) to which section 90 of TCGA 1992 applied.
  • (6) If, before 6 April 2008, the trustees of the transferor or transferee settlement made a transfer of value to which Schedule 4B to TCGA 1992 applied, this paragraph has effect subject to such modifications as are just and reasonable on account of Schedule 4C to that Act having applied in relation to the settlement.
122
  • (1) If all of a capital payment would (in the tax year 2008-09) have been left out of account by virtue of section 87(6) of TCGA 1992 as originally enacted, the amount of that capital payment is reduced to nil.
  • (2) If part of a capital payment would (in the tax year 2008-09) have been left out of account by virtue of section 87(6) of TCGA 1992 as originally enacted, the amount of that capital payment is reduced by the amount of that part.
  • (3) If—
  • (a) chargeable gains were treated under section 87 or 89(2) of, or paragraph 8 of Schedule 4C to, TCGA 1992 as accruing in the tax year 2007-08 or any earlier tax year to a beneficiary,
  • (b) more than one capital payment that the beneficiary had received was taken into account for the purposes of determining the amount of chargeable gains treated as accruing to the beneficiary, and
  • (c) the amount of those chargeable gains was less than the total amount of capital payments taken into account,

for the purposes of this paragraph treat section 87(6) of TCGA 1992 as originally enacted as having effect in relation to earlier capital payments before later ones.

  • (4) References in this paragraph to section 87(6) of TCGA 1992 include that provision as it would (but for the amendments made by this Schedule) have applied by virtue of section 762(3) of ICTA (offshore income gains).
  • (5) References in this paragraph to chargeable gains include offshore income gains.
123

Section 89(2) of TCGA 1992 as substituted applies to a settlement for the tax year 2008-09 (and subsequent tax years) if section 89(2) of that Act as originally enacted would (but for the amendments made by this Schedule) have applied to the settlement for the tax year 2008-09.

124
  • (1) This paragraph applies if—
  • (a) chargeable gains are treated under section 87 or 89(2) of TCGA 1992 as accruing to an individual in the tax year 2008-09 or any subsequent tax year, and
  • (b) the individual is not domiciled in the United Kingdom in that year.
  • (2) The individual is not charged to capital gains tax on the chargeable gains if and to the extent that they are treated as accruing by reason of—

  • (b) the matching of any capital payment with the section 2(2) amount for the tax year 2007-08 or any earlier tax year.
125

Attribution of gains to beneficiaries: cases involving transfers of value

128

TCGA 1992 is amended as follows.

129
  • (1) Section 85A (transfers of value: attribution of gains to beneficiaries and treatment of losses) is amended as follows.
  • (2) After subsection (2) insert—

(2A) For the purposes of sections 87 to 89, no account is to be taken of any section 2(2) amount in a Schedule 4C pool (see paragraph 1 of Schedule 4C).

  • (3) For subsection (3) substitute—

(3) When calculating the section 2(2) amount for a settlement for a tax year (within the meaning of section 87), no account is to be taken of any chargeable gains or allowable losses accruing by virtue of Schedule 4B. Nothing in this subsection affects any increase in a section 2(2) amount by virtue of paragraph 1(3A) or 7B(2)(b) of Schedule 4C.

130

In paragraph 3 of Schedule 4B (transfers of value by trustees linked with trustee borrowing: settlements), for sub-paragraph (4) substitute—

(4) A settlement is “within section 87” for a tax year if— (a) section 87 applies to the settlement for that year, or (b) chargeable gains would be treated under section 89(2) as accruing in that year to a beneficiary who received a capital payment from the trustees of the settlement in that year. (5) The reference in subsection (4)(b) to chargeable gains treated as accruing includes offshore income gains treated as arising.

131

Schedule 4C (transfers of value: attribution of gains to beneficiaries) is amended as follows.

132

In paragraph 1, for sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) substitute—

(2) The transferor settlement is regarded for the purposes of this Schedule as having a “Schedule 4C pool”. (3) The Schedule 4C pool contains the section 2(2) amounts for the settlement that are outstanding at the end of the tax year in which the original transfer is made (see paragraph 1A). (3A) The section 2(2) amount for that tax year is increased by— (a) the amount of Schedule 4B trust gains accruing by virtue of the original transfer (see paragraphs 3 to 7), and (b) the total amount of any further Schedule 4B trust gains accruing by virtue of any further transfers of value to which that Schedule applies that are made by the trustees in that tax year.
