(212A) This Chapter provides for restrictions on the ways in which effect may be given to an allowance in certain circumstances where there has been a qualifying change in relation to a company (“C”). (212B) (1) This Chapter applies where— (a) C carries on a trade (“the relevant trade”) (whether or not in partnership with another person or other persons), (b) there is a qualifying change in relation to C on any day (“the relevant day”), (c) C, or (where the relevant trade is carried on in partnership) the partnership (“P”), has a relevant excess of allowances in relation to the relevant trade, and (d) the qualifying change has an unallowable purpose. (2) Sections 212C to 212I specify when there is a qualifying change in relation to C on the relevant day. (3) Sections 212J to 212L specify when C or P has a relevant excess of allowances in relation to the relevant trade. (4) Section 212M specifies when the qualifying change has an unallowable purpose. (5) Sections 212N to 212S make provision about what happens when this Chapter applies. (212C) (1) There is a qualifying change in relation to C on the relevant day if one or more of conditions A to D is met. (2) Condition A is that— (a) the principal company or companies of C at the beginning of the relevant day is not, or are not, the same as at the end of that day, or (b) there is no principal company of C at the beginning of the relevant day but there is one, or are more than one, at the end of the relevant day. (3) Condition B is that— (a) any principal company of C is a consortium principal company (“CPC”), and (b) CPC's ownership proportion at the end of the relevant day is more than at the beginning of the relevant day. (4) Condition C is that on the relevant day— (a) C ceases to carry on the whole or part of the relevant trade, and (b) it begins to be carried on in partnership by two or more companies, in circumstances in which Chapter 1 of Part 22 of CTA 2010 (transfers of trade without change of ownership) applies in relation to the transfer of the relevant trade. (5) Condition D is that— (a) the relevant trade is, at the beginning of the relevant day, carried on by C in partnership, and (b) C's relevant percentage share in the relevant trade at the end of the relevant day is less than at the beginning of the relevant day (or is nil). (212D) (1) Section 212E explains— (a) what are principal companies of C, and (b) which are consortium principal companies of C, for the purposes of section 212C(2) and (3). (2) Section 212F explains— (a) when a company is owned by a consortium, and (b) who are the members of the consortium, for the purposes of section 212E. (3) Section 212G explains the meaning of “qualifying 75% subsidiary” for the purposes of sections 212E and 212F. (4) Section 212H explains the meaning of “ownership proportion” in section 212C(3). (5) Section 212I explains the meaning of “relevant percentage share” in section 212C(5). (212E) (1) A company (“U”) is a principal company of C if— (a) C is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of U, and (b) U is not a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company. (2) A company (“V”) is a principal company of C if— (a) C is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of U, (b) U is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of V, and (c) V is not a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company. (3) If V is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company (“W”), W is a principal company of C unless W is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company, and so on. (4) A company (“X”) is a principal company of C if— (a) C is owned by a consortium of which X is a member, or (b) C is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of a company owned by a consortium of which X is a member, and X is not a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company. (5) A company (“Y”) is a principal company of C if— (a) C is owned by a consortium of which X is a member, or (b) C is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of a company owned by a consortium of which X is a member, and X is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of Y but Y is not a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company. (6) If Y is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company (“Z”), Z is a principal company of C unless Z is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company, and so on. (7) A company that is a principal company of C by virtue of any of subsections (4) to (6) is a consortium principal company of C. (212F) (1) This section defines what a company being owned by, or a member of, a consortium means for the purposes of section 212E. (2) A company is owned by a consortium if— (a) it is not a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company, (b) at least 75% of its ordinary share capital is beneficially owned between them by other companies, and (c) none of those other companies owns less than 5% of that capital. (3) Those other companies are the members of the consortium. (212G) (1) For the purposes of sections 212E and 212F a company (“the subsidiary company”) is a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company (“the parent company”) if condition 1 or 2 is met and condition 3 is met. (2) Condition 1 is that— (a) the subsidiary company has ordinary share capital, and (b) the subsidiary company is a 75% subsidiary of the parent company (see section 1154(3) of CTA 2010). (3) Condition 2 is that— (a) the subsidiary company does not have ordinary share capital, and (b) the parent company has control of the subsidiary company. (4) Condition 3 is that the parent company— (a) is beneficially entitled to at least 75% of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the subsidiary company, and (b) would be beneficially entitled to at least 75% of any assets of the subsidiary company available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up. (5) Chapter 6 of Part 5 of CTA 2010 (equity holders and profits or assets available for distribution) applies for the purposes of subsection (4) as that Chapter applies for the purposes of section 151(4)(a) and (b) of that Act (meaning of “75% subsidiary”). (6) But in a case where the subsidiary company does not have ordinary share capital, Chapter 6 of Part 5 of that Act applies for those purposes as if the members of that company were equity holders of that company for the purposes of that Chapter. (212H) (1) For the purposes of section 212C(3) CPC's “ownership proportion” is the lowest of— (a) the percentage of the ordinary share capital of C that is beneficially owned by CPC, (b) the percentage to which CPC is beneficially entitled of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of C, and (c) the percentage to which CPC would be beneficially entitled of any assets of C available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding-up. (2) Chapter 6 of Part 5 of CTA 2010 applies for the purposes of subsection (1) as that Chapter applies for the purposes of section 143(3)(b) and (c) (condition 1: surrendering company owned by consortium) and section 144(3)(b) and (c) (condition 1: claimant company owned by consortium) of that Act. (3) But in a case where the subsidiary company does not have ordinary share capital, Chapter 6 of Part 5 of that Act applies for those purposes as if the members of that company were equity holders of that company for the purposes of that Chapter. (212I) (1) For the purposes of section 212C(5) C's “relevant percentage share” is C's percentage share in the profits or losses of the trade. (2) For this purpose C's percentage share in the profits or losses of a trade at any time is determined on a just and reasonable basis. (3) In making that determination regard must be had, in particular, to any matter that would be taken into account in determining under section 1262 of CTA 2009 (but without regard to sections 1263 and 1264 of that Act) the company's share at that time in the profits or losses of the trade. (212J) (1) C or P has a relevant excess of allowances in relation to the relevant trade if— $RTWDV>BSV$ (2) Section 212K defines RTWDV and section 212L defines BSV. (3) References in this Chapter to plant and machinery do not include excluded plant and machinery. (4) Plant and machinery is “excluded plant and machinery” if— (a) expenditure incurred on the provision of it is not, as a result of section 34A, qualifying expenditure for the purposes of this Part, or (b) it is, as a result of section 67, treated for the purposes of this Part as owned otherwise than by C or P. (212K) (1) RTWDV is the relevant tax written-down value and is to be found by adding together amounts 1 and 2. (2) Amount 1 is the total amount of any unrelieved qualifying expenditure in respect of plant and machinery contained in— (a) single asset pools, (b) class pools, or (c) the main pool, which is available to be carried forward (in accordance with section 59) from the old period and used in calculating the profits of the relevant trade. (3) Amount 2 is the total of any qualifying expenditure incurred on the provision of a ship for the purposes of the relevant trade which, at the end of the old period, is unrelieved by virtue of notice having been given under section 130. (4) For the purposes of this Part the amount of unrelieved qualifying expenditure contained in any pool which is available to be carried forward (in accordance with section 59) from the old period and used in calculating the profits of the relevant trade is to be calculated on the assumptions— (a) that any qualifying expenditure that could have been (but was not) allocated to the pool before the end of the old period had been so allocated at the end of the old period, (b) that any qualifying expenditure prevented from being allocated to the pool by section 58(5) had been so allocated at the end of the old period, and (c) that any transaction taking place on the relevant day that has the effect of reducing the amount of unrelieved qualifying expenditure in the pool had not taken place. (5) Where condition C in section 212C is met— (a) references in subsection (2) to any unrelieved qualifying expenditure in respect of plant and machinery contained in a pool which is available to be carried forward (in accordance with section 59) from the old period and used in calculating the profits of the relevant trade, and (b) the reference in subsection (3) to any qualifying expenditure incurred on the provision of a ship for the purposes of the relevant trade which, at the end of the old period, is unrelieved by virtue of notice having been given under section 130, are to what it would have been but for the qualifying change. (6) In this section “the old period” means the period which is the old period for the purposes of section 212O (or would be if this Chapter applied): see section 212N(3). (7) The plant and machinery in respect of which there is unrelieved qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in subsection (2), or qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in subsection (3), is referred to in the following provisions as “the relevant plant and machinery”. (212L) (1) BSV is the balance sheet value of the relevant plant and machinery and is to be found by adding together the amounts (if any) which would be shown in respect of it in the appropriate balance sheet of C or P. (2) For this purpose the amounts shown in the appropriate balance sheet in respect of the relevant plant or machinery are— (a) the amounts shown in that balance sheet as the net book value (or carrying amount) in respect of it, and (b) the amounts shown in that balance sheet as the net investment in respect of finance leases of it. (3) If— (a) any of the relevant plant or machinery is a fixture in any land, and (b) the amount which falls (or would fall) to be shown in the appropriate balance sheet as the net book value (or carrying amount) of the land would include an amount in respect of the fixture, the amount of the net book value (or carrying amount) in respect of the fixture is determined on a just and reasonable basis. (4) If— (a) any of the relevant plant or machinery is subject to a finance lease, and (b) any land or asset which is not plant or machinery is subject to that lease, the amount of the net investment in respect of the finance lease of that plant or machinery is determined on a just and reasonable basis. (5) In this section any reference to any amount shown in the appropriate balance sheet of C or P is the amount which, assuming that a balance sheet of C or P were drawn up in accordance with subsection (6), would fall to be shown in that balance sheet. (6) A balance sheet is drawn up in accordance with this subsection if it is drawn up in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice so as to reflect the position as at the beginning of the relevant day but adjusted to reflect the disposal of any of the relevant plant or machinery which is disposed of on the relevant day. (7) In this section— - “finance lease” means a lease which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a finance lease or loan in accounts of C or P; - “fixture”— 1. means any plant or machinery that is so installed or otherwise fixed in or to a building or other description of land as to become, in law, part of that building or other land, and 2. includes any boiler or water-filled radiator installed in a building as part of a space or water heating system. (212M) (1) The qualifying change has an unallowable purpose if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of change arrangements is to obtain a relevant tax advantage (for any person). (2) “Change arrangements” means any arrangements made to bring about, or otherwise connected with, the qualifying change; and “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable). (3) “Obtain a relevant tax advantage” means become entitled to a reduction in profits, or an increase in losses, for the purposes of corporation tax in consequence of a claim to allowances in respect of qualifying expenditure in respect of the relevant plant and machinery or qualifying expenditure within section 212K(3). (212N) (1) The accounting period of C which is current on the relevant day ends with that day and a new accounting period of C begins with the following day (but subject to subsection (2)). (2) In a case in which condition A, B or D in section 212C is met and the relevant trade was, at the beginning of the relevant day, carried on by C in partnership with another company or other companies subsection (1) does not apply but— (a) the period which, for the purposes of Part 17 of CTA 2009, is the accounting period of the partnership current on the relevant day ends with that day, and (b) there begins with the following day a new accounting period— (i) of the partnership, or (ii) where condition D is met and C's relevant percentage share in the relevant trade is nil after the qualifying change, of the company or partnership by which the relevant trade is carried on after the relevant change. (3) For the purposes of section 212O “the old period” means the accounting period of C or the partnership in which C carries on the relevant trade which ends with the relevant day. (4) For the purposes of section 212P “the new period” means the accounting period— (a) of C or that partnership, or (b) where condition D is met and C's relevant percentage share in the relevant trade is nil after the qualifying change, of the company or partnership by which the relevant trade is carried on after the relevant change, which begins with the following day. (212O) (1) Section 212P has effect where C or P has an excess of allowances in any single asset pool, any class pool or the main pool at the end of the old period; and a pool in the case of which there is an excess of allowances is referred to in this section and section 212P as a “relevant pool”. (2) For the purposes of this section C or P has an excess of allowances in a pool if— $PA>BSVP$ (3) In this section and section 212Q— - PA, in relation to a pool, is the amount specified in section 212K(2) in relation to the pool, and - BSVP, in relation to a pool, is so much of BSV as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, it is appropriate to attribute to the pool. (4) For the purposes of section 212P the amount of the excess of allowances in relation to any relevant pool (“the relevant pool in question”) is the difference between PA and BSVP. (5) But if, in relation to any other pool— $BSVP>PA$ what would otherwise be the amount of the excess of allowances in relation to the relevant pool in question for the purposes of section 212P is reduced by so much of the difference between BSVP and PA as is not taken into account under this subsection in relation to another relevant pool or under section 212Q(8). (212P) (1) The unrelieved qualifying expenditure in each relevant pool is to be taken to be reduced at the beginning of the new period by the amount of the excess of allowances in relation to the pool. (2) The amount of the excess of allowances is to be treated from the beginning of the new period as if it were qualifying expenditure in a new pool of the same description as the relevant pool (and so subject to the same provisions of this Part, other than this Chapter). (3) Where, following the qualifying change, a person ceases to carry on a trade (or part of a trade) and C begins to carry on (whether or not in partnership) the activities of that trade (or part of a trade) as part of its trade, for the purposes of claiming any allowance in respect of qualifying expenditure in the new pool the carrying on of those activities by C is to be regarded as the carrying on of a separate trade. (4) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure in the new pool may not be set off under section 37 of CTA 2010 (trade loss relief against total profits of same or earlier accounting period) otherwise than against the profits of a qualifying activity carried on by C, or any company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day. (5) And the amount of such a loss which may be so set off by any person is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the person but for the qualifying change. (6) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure in the new pool may not be set off by way of group relief in accordance with Part 5 of CTA 2010 (surrender of losses by way of group relief) by a company (“the claimant company”) unless it would have been available for such set off but for the qualifying change. (7) And the amount of such a loss which is available for such set off by the claimant company is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the claimant company but for the qualifying change. (8) Where any activity not carried on by C, or a company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day would otherwise be regarded for the purposes of corporation tax as forming part of a qualifying activity carried on by C or the member of P at that time it is not to be so regarded for the purposes of subsection (4). (9) In a case in which condition C in section 212C is met, the references in subsections (1) and (2) to the beginning of the new period are to the time of the qualifying change (and section 948 of CTA 2010 has effect subject to this section). (212Q) (1) This section has effect where C or P has relevant postponed capital allowances. (2) C or P has relevant postponed capital allowances if amount 2 in section 212K(3) is an amount other than nil. (3) Where, following the qualifying change, a person ceases to carry on a trade (or part of a trade) and C begins to carry on (whether or not in partnership) the activities of that trade (or part of a trade) as part of its trade, for the purposes of claiming any allowance in respect of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) the carrying on of those activities by C is to be regarded as the carrying on of a separate trade. (4) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) may not be set off under section 37 of CTA 2010 otherwise than against the profits of a qualifying activity carried on by C, or any company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day. (5) And the amount of such a loss which may be so set off by any person is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the person but for the qualifying change. (6) A loss attributable to an allowance claimed in respect of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) may not be set off by way of group relief in accordance with Part 5 of CTA 2010 by a company (“the claimant company”) unless it would have been available for such set off but for the qualifying change. (7) And the amount of such a loss which is available for such set off by the claimant company is not to exceed the amount of the loss which would have been available for such set off by the claimant company but for the qualifying change. (8) If, in relation to any pool— $BSVP>PA$ what would otherwise be the amount of qualifying expenditure such as is mentioned in section 212K(3) is to be treated for the purposes of this section as reduced by so much of the difference between BSVP and PA in relation to the pool as is not taken into account under section 212O(5) in relation to a relevant pool. (9) Where any activity not carried on by C, or a company that is a member of P, at the beginning of the relevant day would otherwise be regarded for the purposes of corporation tax as forming part of a qualifying activity carried on by C or the member of P at that time it is not to be so regarded for the purposes of subsection (4). (212R) Any amount required to be brought into account in connection with a disposal event in respect of any relevant plant and machinery is to be apportioned between the new pool and the relevant pool concerned on a just and reasonable basis. (212S) (1) This section applies if any plant and machinery is transferred on the relevant day and (apart from subsection (4)(c) of section 212K) the transfer would have the effect of reducing RTWDV (as determined in accordance with that section). (2) No person other than C or P is entitled to claim an allowance in respect of the plant or machinery after the transfer.

SCHEDULE 5

Restriction of qualifying expenditure

1
  • (1) In Chapter 17 of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery: anti-avoidance), after section 228M insert—

(228MA) (1) This section applies where capital expenditure is incurred on the provision of plant or machinery (“the asset”) and at the time the expenditure is incurred— (a) the asset is leased or arrangements exist under which it is to be leased, and (b) arrangements have been entered into in relation to payments under the lease that have the effect of reducing the value of the asset to the lessor (“V”). (2) For the purposes of capital allowances the lessor's qualifying expenditure on the asset is restricted to V. (3) The value of the asset to the lessor is given by— $$V=VI+VR$where—VI is the present value of the lessor's income from the asset, andVR is the present value of the residual value of the asset reduced by the amount of any rental rebate.$ (4) For this purpose— (a) the lessor's income from the asset is the total of all the amounts that— (i) have been received by the lessor, or it is reasonable to expect the lessor will receive, in connection with the lease, and (ii) have been brought into account by the lessor, or it is reasonable to expect the lessor will bring into account, as income in computing profits chargeable to tax, and (b) the residual value of the asset is what it is reasonable to expect will be the market value of the lessor's interest in the asset immediately after the termination of the lease. (5) In determining the lessor's income from the asset, exclude— (a) disposal receipts brought, or to be brought, into account under Part 2, and (b) so much of any amount as represents charges for services or qualifying UK or foreign tax (within the meaning of section 70YE) to be paid by the lessor. (6) Where capital expenditure has previously been incurred by the lessor on the provision of the asset, the reference in subsection (2) to the lessor's qualifying expenditure on the asset is to be read as a reference to the total amount of the lessor's qualifying expenditure on the asset. (7) The following provisions supplement this section— (a) section 228MB provides for the calculation of “present value”, and (b) section 228MC defines what is meant by a rental rebate. (8) In this section and sections 228MB and 228MC “lease” includes any arrangements which provide for plant or machinery to be leased or otherwise made available by a person (“the lessor”) to another person (“the lessee”). (228MB) (1) For the purposes of section 228MA the “present value” of an amount is to be calculated by using the interest rate implicit in the lease. (2) The general rule is that the interest rate implicit in the lease is the interest rate that would apply in accordance with normal commercial criteria, including, in particular, generally accepted accounting practice (where applicable). (3) If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined in accordance with subsection (2), it is taken to be 1% above LIBOR. (4) For this purpose— (a) LIBOR means the London interbank offered rate on the relevant day for deposits for a term of 12 months in the relevant currency, (b) the relevant day is the day on which the lease was entered into (or if that was not a business day, the first business day after that day), and (c) the relevant currency is the currency in which rentals under the lease are payable. (228MC) (1) For the purposes of section 228MA “rental rebate” means any sum payable to the lessee that is calculated by reference to the termination value of the asset. (2) The general rule is that the termination value of an asset is the value of the asset at or about the time when the lease terminates. (3) Calculation by reference to the termination value includes calculation by reference to any one or more of— (a) the proceeds of sale, if the asset is sold, (b) any insurance proceeds, compensation or similar sums in respect of the asset, and (c) an estimate of the market value of the asset. (4) Calculation by reference to the termination value also includes— (a) determination in a way which, or by reference to factors or criteria which, might reasonably be expected to produce a broadly similar result to calculation by reference to the termination value, or (b) any other form of calculation indirectly by reference to the termination value.

  • (2) The amendment made by sub-paragraph (1) has effect in relation to capital expenditure incurred on or after 9 December 2009.

Restriction of deduction for rental rebate

2
  • (1) In Chapter 4 of Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005 (trading income: rules restricting deductions), after section 55A insert—

(55B) (1) Where plant or machinery (“the asset”) is leased and a rental rebate is payable by the lessor, the amount of the deduction allowable in respect of the rebate is limited to— (a) the amount of the lessor's income from the lease, or (b) in the case of a finance lease, that amount excluding the finance charge. (2) “Rental rebate” means any sum payable to the lessee that is calculated by reference to the termination value of the asset. (3) For this purpose— (a) the termination value of an asset is the value of the asset at or about the time when the lease terminates, (b) calculation by reference to the termination value includes calculation by reference to any one or more of— (i) the proceeds of sale, if the asset is sold, (ii) any insurance proceeds, compensation or similar sums in respect of the asset, (iii) an estimate of the market value of the asset, and (c) calculation by reference to the termination value also includes— (i) determination in a way which, or by reference to factors or criteria which, might reasonably be expected to produce a broadly similar result to calculation by reference to the termination value, or (ii) any other form of calculation indirectly by reference to the termination value. (4) For the purposes of this section— (a) the income of the lessor from the lease is the total of all the amounts receivable in connection with the lease that have been brought into account in calculating the lessor's income for income tax purposes, excluding— (i) disposal receipts brought into account under Part 2 of CAA 2001 (see section 60(1) of that Act), and (ii) so much of any amount as represents charges for services or qualifying UK or foreign tax (within the meaning of section 70YE of that Act) to be paid by the lessor, and (b) the finance charge, in relation to a finance lease, is— (i) if the lease is one that, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan, so much of the rentals under the lease as fall (or would fall) to be treated as interest, or (ii) in any other case, the amount that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as the gross return on investment. (5) Where the asset is acquired by the lessor in a transaction in relation to which an election is made under section 266 of CAA 2001 (election where predecessor and successor are connected persons), this section applies as if the successor had been the lessor at all material times and everything done to or by the predecessor had been done to or by the successor. (6) Where the whole or part of a rental rebate is disallowed under this section as a deduction in computing profits— (a) the amount disallowed, or (b) if less, the amount by which the rental rebate exceeds the amount of capital expenditure incurred by the lessor, may be treated for the purposes of capital gains tax as an allowable loss accruing to the lessor on the termination of the lease. That allowable loss is deductible only from chargeable gains accruing to the lessor on the disposal of the asset. (7) This section does not apply to a long funding finance lease (see section 148C).

  • (2) In Chapter 4 of Part 3 of CTA 2009 (trading income: rules restricting deductions), after section 60 insert—

(60A) (1) Where plant or machinery (“the asset”) is leased and a rental rebate is payable by the lessor, the amount of the deduction allowable in respect of the rebate is limited to— (a) the amount of the lessor's income from the lease, or (b) in the case of a finance lease, that amount excluding the finance charge. (2) “Rental rebate” means any sum payable to the lessee that is calculated by reference to the termination value of the asset.

(6) Where the whole or part of a rental rebate is disallowed under this section as a deduction in computing profits— (a) the amount disallowed, or (b) if less, the amount by which the rental rebate exceeds the amount of capital expenditure incurred by the lessor, may be treated for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains as an allowable loss accruing to the lessor on the termination of the lease. That allowable loss is deductible only from chargeable gains accruing to the lessor on the disposal of the asset. (7) This section does not apply to a long funding finance lease (see section 362 of CTA 2010).

SCHEDULE 9

1

In TCGA 1992, after section 252 insert—

(252A) Schedule 8A contains provision about the calculation of chargeable gains on disposals of debts to which section 252(1) applies which are not situated in the United Kingdom.

2

In that Act, after Schedule 8 insert—

Schedule 8A (1) (1) This Schedule applies where— (a) an individual makes a disposal of a debt to which section 252(1) applies (“the relevant disposal”), (b) the debt (“the section 252 debt”) is not situated in the United Kingdom, and (c) money or money's worth which is remitted foreign income (“the section 37 amount”) is excluded under section 37 from the consideration for the relevant disposal. (2) For this purpose “remitted foreign income” means income of the individual which is chargeable to income tax on the alternative basis of charge set out in Chapter A1 of Part 14 of ITA 2007 (remittance basis). (3) In determining whether the condition in sub-paragraph (1)(c) is met, the following provisions of this Schedule are to be ignored. (2) (1) This paragraph applies where the section 37 amount constitutes the whole of the unreduced consideration. (2) If the relevant disposal is a part disposal of the section 252 debt, section 42 applies as if the reference in subsection (2)(a) of that section to the consideration for the disposal were a reference to the unreduced consideration for the disposal. (3) Any loss accruing to the individual on the relevant disposal is not an allowable loss. (3) (1) This paragraph applies where the section 37 amount constitutes part of the unreduced consideration. (2) For the purposes of this Act the relevant disposal is to be treated as if it were— (a) a disposal of so much of the section 252 debt as is represented by the section 37 proportion of the sum mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) (“debt A”), and (b) a separate disposal of so much of the section 252 debt as is represented by the remainder of that sum (“debt B”). (3) That sum is— (a) if the relevant disposal is a disposal of the whole of the section 252 debt, the sum referred to in section 252(1), and (b) if the relevant disposal is a part disposal of that debt, the proportion of the sum referred to in section 252(1) to which that part disposal relates. (4) Sub-paragraphs (5) to (9) apply for the purposes of— (a) the computation of the gain accruing on the disposals under sub-paragraph (2), and (b) the application of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of this Act in relation to the part of the debt (if any) which remains undisposed of. (5) The consideration for the disposal (before any exclusion under section 37) is— (a) in the case of debt A, the section 37 amount, and (b) in the case of debt B, the remainder of the unreduced consideration. (6) If the relevant disposal is not a part disposal of the section 252 debt— (a) the section 37 proportion of the debt costs and the disposal costs is to be attributed to debt A, and (b) the remaining debt costs and disposal costs are to be attributed to debt B. (7) Sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) apply if the relevant disposal is a part disposal of the section 252 debt. (8) Section 42(2) applies as if it provided for the debt costs to be apportioned between debt A, debt B and the remainder of the section 252 debt in the proportions which those parts of the section 252 debt bear to one another. (9) The section 37 proportion of the disposal costs is to be attributed to debt A and the remaining disposal costs are to be attributed to debt B. (10) Any loss accruing to the individual on the disposal of debt A is not an allowable loss. (4) In this Schedule— - “debt costs” means the sums which under section 38(1)(a) and (b) are attributable to the section 252 debt; - “disposal costs” means the costs within section 38(1)(c) in relation to the relevant disposal; - “the section 252 debt”, “the relevant disposal” and “the section 37 amount” are to be construed in accordance with paragraph 1; - “the section 37 proportion” means the proportion of the unreduced consideration which constitutes the section 37 amount; - “the unreduced consideration” means the consideration for the relevant disposal ignoring the exclusion of the section 37 amount.
