RULES FOR QUALIFYING POLICIES (B1) (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies in relation to a policy issued in respect of an insurance made on or after 6 April 2013. (2) In order for the policy to be a qualifying policy, when it is issued all the rights under it must be beneficially owned by (and only by)— (a) one individual, or (b) two or more individuals taken together. (This is the case notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule.) (3) Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply if the policy is protected. (4) A policy is “protected” if it is a new policy (as defined in paragraph 17 below) in relation to— (a) a policy issued in respect of an insurance made before 21 March 2012, or (b) a policy which is protected (whether by virtue of paragraph (a) or this paragraph). (B2) (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies if any rights under a qualifying policy are, or any share in any rights under a qualifying policy is, assigned on or after 6 April 2013. (2) The policy is not to be a qualifying policy after the assignment (notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule). (3) Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply if— (a) the assignment is from an individual by way of security for a debt of the individual, (b) the assignment is to an individual on the discharge of a debt of the individual secured by the rights or share, (c) the assignment is from an individual to the individual's spouse or civil partner, (d) the assignment is to an individual in pursuance of an order made by a court, (e) the assignment is to an individual in pursuance of a legally enforceable obligation relating to a divorce or the dissolution of a civil partnership, (f) the assignment is from an individual and, as a result of the assignment, the rights assigned are, or the share assigned is, held on trusts created by the individual, (g) the assignment is to an individual and, as a result of the assignment, the rights assigned are, or the share assigned is, no longer held on trusts, or (h) the assignment— (i) is to the personal representatives of a deceased individual, or (ii) is to an individual where, as a result of the assignment, a deceased beneficiary event (see paragraph A6(2) above) occurs. (4) Section 465(6) of ITTOIA 2005 applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(f). (5) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations provide that sub-paragraph (2) does not apply if prescribed conditions are met in relation to the assignment. “Prescribed” means prescribed by the regulations. (6) Regulations under sub-paragraph (5) may— (a) make different provision for different cases or circumstances, and (b) contain incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision. (7) See paragraphs A1 and A2 above which may apply in consequence of an assignment falling within sub-paragraph (3) or (5). (B3) (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies if any of the following events occurs— (a) the issue of a policy in respect of an insurance made on or after 6 April 2013; (b) the variation of a policy on or after 6 April 2013 where paragraph 18 below applies in relation to the variation and as a result of the variation— (i) the period over which premiums are payable under the policy is or could be lengthened, or (ii) the total amount of the premiums payable under the policy in any relevant period is or could be increased, or both; (c) a premium limit event in relation to a protected policy on or after 6 April 2013 (see paragraph A2(9) to (12) above); (d) an event on or after 6 April 2013 which would be a premium limit event in relation to a protected policy but for paragraph A2(12) above; (e) the assignment on or after 6 April 2013 of any rights, or any share in any rights, under a policy where the assignment falls within paragraph B2(3)(c) to (g) or (5) above; (f) a deceased beneficiary event (see paragraph A6(2) above) on or after 6 April 2013; (g) the conditions in paragraph 24(3) below being fulfilled for the first time in respect of a new non-resident policy where— (i) the conditions are fulfilled for the first time on or after 6 April 2013, and (ii) but for the conditions being fulfilled, the policy could not be a qualifying policy because of paragraph 24(2). (2) Each individual who is a beneficiary under the policy must, before the end of the statement period, make to the issuer of the policy a statement dealing with the prescribed matters. (3) If an individual does not comply with sub-paragraph (2) the policy is not to be a qualifying policy after the event (notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule). (4) In sub-paragraph (1)(b)(ii) “relevant period” means any period of 12 months beginning at or after the time of the variation. (5) Sub-paragraph (2)— (a) does not apply in the case of an event mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a), (e), (f) or (g) if the policy is a pure protection policy, and (b) does not apply in the case of an event mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), (c) or (d) if the policy is a pure protection policy both before and after the event. “Pure protection policy” has the meaning given by paragraph A6(1)(c) above. (6) Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply in the case of an event mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(e) where the assignment falls within paragraph B2(3)(e) above and is a mortgage endowment assignment. “Mortgage endowment assignment” is to be read in accordance with paragraph A6(3) above. (7) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations provide that an individual is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (2) if prescribed conditions are met. “Prescribed” means prescribed by the regulations. (8) Accordingly, if by virtue of regulations under sub-paragraph (7) an individual is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (2), sub-paragraph (3) does not apply because that individual does not comply with sub-paragraph (2). (9) In sub-paragraph (2)— (a) the reference to an individual who is a beneficiary under the policy is to be read in accordance with paragraph A5 above, (b) “the statement period” means— (i) the period of 3 months after the day on which the event occurs, or (ii) if the event occurs before the day on which the first regulations under paragraph (c) below come into force, the period of 3 months after that day, or such longer period as an officer of Revenue and Customs may allow, and (c) “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. (10) An officer of Revenue and Customs may allow a longer period for the purposes of sub-paragraph (9)(b) only if— (a) the individual in question has made a request in writing to an officer of Revenue and Customs for a longer period to be allowed, and (b) such an officer is satisfied— (i) that there is a reasonable excuse for the required statement not having been made within the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (9)(b)(i) or (ii), and (ii) that the request under paragraph (a) was made without unreasonable delay after the reasonable excuse ceased. (11) Sub-paragraph (12) applies in relation to a policy if the obligations under the policy of its issuer are at any time the obligations of another person (“the transferee”) to whom there has been a transfer of the whole or any part of a business previously carried on by the issuer. (12) In relation to that time, in sub-paragraph (2) the reference to the issuer of the policy is to be read as a reference to the transferee. (13) Regulations under sub-paragraph (7) or (9)(c) may— (a) make different provision for different cases or circumstances, and (b) contain incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision.

PART 2 — Restricted relief qualifying policies

7

Chapter 9 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (gains from contracts for life insurance etc) is amended as follows.

8

After section 463 insert—

(463A) (1) This section applies for the purpose of determining if an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter. (2) In relation to an event occurring on or after 6 April 2013, section 485 (disregard of certain events in relation to qualifying policies) does not apply in relation to a policy (“policy X”) which is a restricted relief qualifying policy (see paragraph A2 of Schedule 15 to ICTA). (3) If an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter as a result of subsection (2), the gain on which the tax is charged in the case of the individual is reduced by the following amount— $$G × TAP TP$where—G is the amount of the gain (apart from this subsection),TAP is the total amount of premiums payable under policy X during the policy X period so far as they are allowable premiums as determined in accordance with section 463B, andTP is the total amount of premiums payable under policy X during the policy X period.$ (4) If section 528 also applies in the case of the individual in relation to the gain, subsection (3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528 and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528 is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by subsection (3). (5) The following subsections apply for the purposes of this section (except subsection (2)) and section 463B. (6) “The policy X period” means the period for which policy X has run before the chargeable event occurs. (7) Subsections (8) and (9) apply if policy X is a new policy in relation to another policy. (8) For the purposes of subsection (6) policy X is to be taken to have run— (a) from the issue of the other policy, or (b) if the other policy was also a new policy in relation to an earlier policy, from the issue of the earlier policy, and so on. (9) References to premiums payable under policy X are to be read as including references to premiums payable under any earlier policy taken into account under subsection (8). (10) The following are to be left out of account in determining the premiums payable under a policy— (a) so much of a premium as is charged on the grounds that an exceptional risk of death or disability is involved; (b) subject to subsection (11), so much of the first premium payable the liability for the payment of which— (i) is discharged in accordance with paragraph 15(2) of Schedule 15 to ICTA, or (ii) in the case of a policy in relation to which paragraph 3 of that Schedule applies, is discharged under a provision of the policy falling within paragraph 3(4)(c) of that Schedule. (11) The maximum amount that may be left out of account under subsection (10)(b) in the case of a policy is— $$£ 3,600 × N$where N is the number of complete years for which ran—the other policy involved, orif there is more than one other policy involved, the policy which ran for the most number of complete years.$ (12) In determining the premiums payable under a policy any provision for the waiver of premiums by reason of a person's disability is to be ignored. (13) “New policy” has the meaning given in paragraph 17 of Schedule 15 to ICTA. (463B) (1) This section sets out how to determine the extent to which premiums payable under policy X during the policy X period are allowable premiums for the purposes of section 463A(3). (2) A premium payable under policy X is allowable if it is payable before the restricted relief date. (3) In this section “the restricted relief date” means— (a) 6 April 2013, or (b) if later, the date on which policy X became a restricted relief qualifying policy. (4) Premiums payable under policy X in a relevant premium period are allowable so far as they do not exceed in total the premium limit for the period. (5) In subsection (4) “relevant premium period” means— (a) any period of one year which— (i) begins with a relevant date, and (ii) ends in the policy X period, and (b) if it is not covered by paragraph (a), the period which— (i) begins with the last relevant date to fall within the policy X period, and (ii) ends at the end of the policy X period. (6) In subsection (5) “relevant date” means— (a) the restricted relief date, or (b) any anniversary of the restricted relief date. (7) For the purposes of subsection (4) “the premium limit” for a relevant premium period is determined in accordance with subsections (8) to (10). (8) Determine the premiums payable in the relevant premium period under policies related to policy X. (9) If the total of those premiums is £3,600 or more, the premium limit is nil (and, accordingly, no premiums payable under policy X in the relevant premium period are allowable). (10) If the total of those premiums is less than £3,600, the premium limit is the difference between that total and £3,600. (11) Subsection (4) does not apply if, at the time policy X became a restricted relief qualifying policy, any policy related to policy X was itself a restricted relief qualifying policy. (12) For the purposes of this section a policy is “related” to policy X if it met the following requirements at the time policy X became a restricted relief qualifying policy— (a) the policy is a qualifying policy under which the individual is a beneficiary (as determined in accordance with paragraph A5 of Schedule 15 to ICTA); (b) the policy is neither a protected policy nor a pure protection policy. (13) In subsection (12)(b)— - “protected policy” is to be read in accordance with paragraph A4 of Schedule 15 to ICTA, and - “pure protection policy” has the meaning given by paragraph A6(1)(c) of that Schedule. (14) A policy which is a new policy in relation to a policy “related” to policy X (whether by virtue of subsection (12) or this subsection) is also “related” to policy X if it meets the requirements of subsection (12)(a) and (b) when issued. (15) A policy ceases to be “related” to policy X if it ceases to meet those requirements. (16) If policy X is a restricted relief qualifying policy as provided for by paragraph A2(14) of Schedule 15 to ICTA, references in this section to policy X becoming a restricted relief qualifying policy are to be read as references to the policy determined under subsection (17) becoming a restricted relief qualifying policy. (17) The policy is— (a) the policy (“policy Y”) in relation to which policy X was the new policy, or (b) if policy Y was also a restricted relief qualifying policy as provided for by paragraph A2(14) of Schedule 15 to ICTA, the policy in relation to which policy Y was the new policy, and so on. (18) The following subsections apply for the purposes of this section if— (a) a premium (“premium A”) is payable under policy X on a day (“day A”) which is on or after 21 March 2012 but before 6 April 2013, and (b) the next premium payable under policy X is payable on a day (“day B”) which is— (i) on or after 6 April 2013, and (ii) more than one month after day A. (19) Premium A is to be treated as if, instead of being one premium payable on day A, it were a series of premiums payable at monthly intervals with the first premium in the series payable on day A. (20) The number of premiums in the series is equal to the number of complete months falling within the period beginning with day A and ending with day B. (21) The amount of each premium in the series is the amount of premium A divided by the number of premiums in the series. (463C) (1) This section applies for the purpose of determining if personal representatives are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as provided for by section 466. (2) This section also applies for the purpose of determining if trustees are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as provided for by section 467 where— (a) condition B in that section is met, and (b) the person who created the trusts has died. (3) In relation to an event occurring on or after 6 April 2013, section 485 (disregard of certain events in relation to qualifying policies) does not apply in relation to a policy if the policy is a restricted relief qualifying policy (see paragraph A2 of Schedule 15 to ICTA). (4) If any personal representatives or trustees are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as a result of subsection (3), section 463A(3) is to apply in the case of the personal representatives or the trustees— (a) as if the reference to the individual were to the personal representatives or to the trustees, and (b) as if the restricted relief qualifying policy were policy X. (5) For this purpose— (a) in section 463B(12)(a) the reference to the individual is to be read as a reference to the deceased, and (b) a policy— (i) which would otherwise have ceased to be “related” to policy X for the purposes of section 463B on the deceased's death, but (ii) which continues to run after the deceased's death, is to be treated as “related” to policy X after the deceased's death. (6) A policy which is a new policy (as defined in paragraph 17 of Schedule 15 to ICTA) in relation to a policy treated as “related” to policy X under subsection (5)(b) or this subsection is also to be treated as “related” to policy X if, apart from the deceased's death, it would meet the requirements of section 463B(12)(a) and (b) on its issue. (7) A policy treated as “related” to policy X under subsection (5)(b) or (6) ceases to be so treated if, apart from the deceased's death, it would cease to meet the requirements of section 463B(12)(a) and (b). (8) If section 528A also applies in the case of the personal representatives or the trustees in relation to the gain, section 463A(3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528A and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528A is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by section 463A(3). (463D) (1) This section applies if— (a) paragraph A1 of Schedule 15 to ICTA applies in relation to a policy by virtue of paragraph A1(8) in consequence of an event relating to the policy (“the relevant event”), (b) after the relevant event, the policy is not a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph A1(2), and (c) in relation to an event occurring after the relevant event— (i) an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter on a gain from the policy, and (ii) but for the application of paragraph A1 in relation to the policy, section 463A(3) would have applied in the case of the individual so as to reduce the gain. (2) Section 463A(3) is to apply in the case of the individual in relation to the gain as if the policy were policy X. (3) But, for this purpose, section 463B(5) has effect as if the references to the policy X period were to the part of that period falling before the relevant event. (4) If section 528 also applies in the case of the individual in relation to the gain, section 463A(3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528 and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528 is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by section 463A(3). (463E) (1) This section applies if— (a) a policy (“policy Z”) is issued, (b) the issue of policy Z is an event falling within paragraph A2(3) of Schedule 15 to ICTA by virtue of paragraph (e), (c) after its issue, policy Z is a qualifying policy but not a restricted relief qualifying policy, (d) policy Z is varied on or after 6 April 2013 and the variation is an event falling within paragraph A1(3) of Schedule 15, (e) after the variation, policy Z is not a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph A1(2) of that Schedule, (f) in relation to an event occurring after the variation, an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter on a gain from policy Z, and (g) but for the application of paragraph A1 of Schedule 15 in relation to policy Z, the individual would not have been liable because of section 485. (2) The gain on which the tax is charged in the case of the individual is reduced by the following amount— $$G × TPV TP$where—G is the amount of the gain (apart from this subsection),TPV is the total amount of premiums payable under policy Z before the variation, andTP is the total amount of premiums payable under policy Z before the chargeable event.$ (3) If section 528 also applies in the case of the individual in relation to the gain, subsection (2) is to be applied to the gain before section 528 and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528 is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by subsection (2). (4) Section 463A(10) to (12) applies for the purposes of subsection (2).

9

In section 485 (disregard of certain events in relation to qualifying policies) after subsection (7) insert—

(8) This section is subject to sections 463A and 463C.

(2) The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (1)(b) includes, in particular, provision requiring relevant persons to make available books, documents and other records for inspection by or on behalf of an officer of Revenue and Customs. (3) The regulations may— (a) make different provision for different cases or circumstances, and (b) contain incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision. (4) In this section— - “prescribed” means prescribed by the regulations, - “qualifying policy” includes a policy which would be a qualifying policy apart from— 1. paragraph A1(2), B1(2), B2(2) or B3(3) of Schedule 15, or 2. paragraph 17(2)(za) of that Schedule (including as applied by paragraph 18), and - “relevant person” means a person— 1. who issues, or has issued, qualifying policies, or 2. who is, or has been, a relevant transferee in relation to qualifying policies. (5) For the purposes of this section a person (“X”) is at any time a “relevant transferee” in relation to a qualifying policy if the obligations under the policy of its issuer are at that time the obligations of X as a result of there having been a transfer to X of the whole or any part of a business previously carried on by the issuer.

(742A) (1) Subsection (2) applies for the purpose of determining the liability of an individual to tax under this Chapter by reference to a relevant transaction if— (a) the transaction is effected on or after 6 April 2012, and (b) conditions A and B are met. (2) Income is to be left out of account so far as the individual satisfies an officer of Revenue and Customs that it is attributable to the transaction. (3) Condition A is that— (a) were, viewed objectively, the transaction to be considered to be a genuine transaction having regard to any arrangements under which it is effected and any other relevant circumstances, and (b) were the individual to be liable to tax under this Chapter by reference to the transaction, the individual's liability to tax would, in contravention of a relevant treaty provision, constitute an unjustified and disproportionate restriction on a freedom protected under that relevant treaty provision. (4) In subsection (3) “relevant treaty provision” means— (a) Title II or IV of Part Three of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, (b) Part II or III of the EEA agreement, or (c) the provision of any subsequent treaty replacing a provision mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b). (5) Condition B is that the individual satisfies an officer of Revenue and Customs that, viewed objectively, the transaction must be considered to be a genuine transaction having regard to any arrangements under which it is effected and any other relevant circumstances. (6) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (3)(a) or (5), in order for the transaction to be considered to be a genuine transaction the transaction must not— (a) be on terms other than those that would have been made between persons not connected with each other dealing at arm's length, or (b) be a transaction that would not have been entered into between such persons so dealing, having regard to any arrangements under which the transaction is effected and any other relevant circumstances. (7) Subsection (8) applies if any asset or income falling within subsection (12) is used for the purposes of, or is received in the course of, activities carried on in a territory outside the United Kingdom by a person (“the relevant person”) through a business establishment which the relevant person has in that territory. (8) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (3)(a) or (5), in order for the transaction to be considered to be a genuine transaction the activities mentioned in subsection (7) must consist of the provision by the relevant person of goods or services to others on a commercial basis and involve— (a) the use of staff in numbers, and with competence and authority, (b) the use of premises and equipment, and (c) the addition of economic value, by the relevant person, to those to whom the goods or services are provided, commensurate with the size and nature of those activities. (9) In subsection (8)(a) “staff” means employees, agents or contractors of the relevant person. (10) To determine if a person has a “business establishment” in a territory outside the United Kingdom, apply sections 1141, 1142(1) and 1143 of CTA 2010 as if in those provisions— (a) references to a company were to a person, and (b) references to a permanent establishment were to a business establishment. (11) Subsection (6) does not apply if— (a) the relevant transfer is made by an individual who makes it wholly— (i) for personal reasons (and not commercial reasons), and (ii) for the personal benefit (and not the commercial benefit) of other individuals, and (b) no consideration is given (directly or indirectly) for the relevant transfer or otherwise for any benefit received by any individual mentioned in paragraph (a)(ii), and all assets and income falling within subsection (12) are dealt with accordingly. (12) The assets and income falling within this subsection are— (a) any of the assets transferred by the relevant transfer; (b) any assets directly or indirectly representing any of the assets transferred; (c) any income arising from any assets within paragraph (a) or (b); (d) any assets directly or indirectly representing the accumulations of income arising from any assets within paragraph (a) or (b). (13) In subsections (11) and (12) references to the relevant transfer are to— (a) if the transaction mentioned in subsection (1) is a relevant transfer, the transfer, or (b) if the transaction so mentioned is an associated operation, the relevant transfer to which it relates. (14) Subsection (15) applies if— (a) subsection (2) would apply in relation to a transaction but for the individual being unable to satisfy an officer of Revenue and Customs for the purposes of condition B that the transaction meets the requirements set out in subsection (6), but (b) the individual does satisfy an officer of Revenue and Customs that those requirements are met in relation to a part of the transaction. (15) Subsection (2) applies as if the reference to the transaction were to that part of the transaction.

(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to a return that would be charged to income tax under or as a result of another provision but for an exemption. (4) For the purposes of this Chapter a return produced for a person by an arrangement in relation to any amount is “economically equivalent to interest” if (and only if)— (a) it is reasonable to assume that it is a return by reference to the time value of that amount of money, (b) it is at a rate reasonably comparable to what is (in all the circumstances) a commercial rate of interest, and (c) at the relevant time there is no practical likelihood that it will cease to be produced in accordance with the arrangement unless the person by whom it falls to be produced is prevented (by reason of insolvency or otherwise) from producing it. (5) In subsection (4)(c) “the relevant time” means the time when the person becomes party to the arrangement or, if later, when the arrangement begins to produce a return for the person. (6) In this Chapter “arrangement” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

(381C) The person liable for any tax charged under this Chapter is the person receiving or entitled to the return or the part of the return. (381D) (1) This section applies if at any time a tax other than income tax (“the other tax”) is charged in relation to a return on which income tax is charged under this Chapter. (2) In order to avoid a double charge to tax in respect of the return, a person may make a claim for one or more consequential adjustments to be made in respect of the other tax.

(2) For the purposes of this section shares are excluded shares if they are admitted to trading on a regulated market and— (a) they were issued before 6 April 2013, or (b) if issued on or after that date, at the time of issue no arrangements involving only the shares would produce a return, in relation to an amount, which is economically equivalent to interest. (3) In subsection (2) “regulated market” has the same meaning as in Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments (see Article 4.1(14)). (4) For the purposes of this section an arrangement is relevant, in relation to excluded shares, where— (a) the arrangement is made on or after 6 April 2013, and (b) it is reasonable to assume that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangement is to secure that arrangements involving only the shares produce a return, in relation to an amount, which is economically equivalent to interest.
