a as taxable supplies of the recipient (as well as taxable supplies of the person making them), and

b in so far as the recipient is supplied in connection with the carrying on by him of any business, as supplies made by him in the course or furtherance of that business,

but the relevant supply, and those corresponding supplies, are to be so treated only in so far as their total value exceeds the disregarded amount.

4 Nothing in subsection (3)(b) requires any supply to be disregarded for the purposes of Schedule 1 on the grounds that it is a supply of capital assets of the recipient's business.

6 If—

a a taxable person makes a supply of goods to a person (“the recipient”) at any time,

b the supply is of goods to which this section applies and is not an excepted supply, and

c the recipient is a taxable person at that time and is supplied in connection with the carrying on by him of any business,

it is for the recipient, on the supplier's behalf, to account for and pay tax on the supply and not for the supplier.

4 Regulations may make such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provisions as appear to the Commissioners to be necessary or expedient for the purposes of this section.

5 Regulations under this section may in particular—

5 But any such order does not apply to a failure which began before the date on which the order comes into force.

6 A failure by any person to comply with any requirement mentioned in subsection (1) or (3) does not give rise to a liability to a penalty under this section if the person concerned satisfies—

a the Commissioners, or

that there is a reasonable excuse for the failure.

7 If by reason of conduct falling within subsection (1) or (3) a person—

a is assessed to a penalty under section 60, or

b any other person.

5 A direction under this paragraph—

Holocaust victims¶

64 Payments to or in respect of victims of National-Socialist persecution¶

1 In section 369 of ITTOIA 2005 (charge to tax on interest), in subsection (3) (non-exhaustive list of exemptions), in paragraph (e) (exemptions under sections 749 to 756)—

a for “756” substitute “ 756A ”, and

b for “and interest on certain foreign currency securities)” substitute “ , certain foreign currency securities and interest on certain deposits of victims of National-Socialist persecution) ”.

2 After section 756 of ITTOIA 2005 (which securities and loans are foreign currency ones for section 755) insert—

756A Interest on certain deposits of victims of National-Socialist persecution

1 No liability to income tax arises in respect of interest which is paid—

a to or in respect of a victim of National-Socialist persecution,

b under a qualifying compensation scheme, and

c for a qualifying purpose in respect of a qualifying deposit of the victim.

2 A scheme is a qualifying compensation scheme if—

a it is constituted (whether under the law of any part of the United Kingdom or elsewhere) by an instrument in writing, and

b the purpose of the scheme, or one of its purposes, is to make payments of interest to or in respect of victims of National-Socialist persecution for qualifying purposes in respect of qualifying deposits.

3 Interest is paid for a qualifying purpose in respect of a deposit if—

a it is paid for meeting a liability in respect of interest on the deposit, or

b it is paid for compensating for the effects of inflation on the deposit.

4 In relation to a victim of National-Socialist persecution, a deposit is a qualifying deposit if it was made—

a by, or on behalf of, the victim, and

b on or before 5th June 1945.

5 In this section “deposit” has the meaning given by section 481(3) of ICTA.

3 In section 783 of ITTOIA 2005 (general disregard of exempt income for income tax purposes)—

a for subsection (2) (exception to general disregard) substitute—

, and

b in subsection (3) (subsection (2) without prejudice to other exceptions) for “This express exception to subsection (1) is” substitute “ These express exceptions to subsection (1) are ”.

4 After section 268 of TCGA 1992 (decorations for valour or gallant conduct) insert—

268A Victims of National-Socialist persecution

1 A gain accruing on a disposal is not a chargeable gain if it accrues on—

a a disposal of the right to receive the whole or any part of a qualifying payment in respect of National-Socialist persecution, or

b a disposal of an interest in any such right.

2 A payment is a qualifying payment in respect of National-Socialist persecution if it is payable as mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) of section 756A(1) of ITTOIA 2005 (income tax exemption for payments to or in respect of victims of National-Socialist persecution).

3 In this section “interest”, in relation to any right, means an interest as a co-owner of the right.

4 It does not matter—

a whether the right is owned jointly or in common, or

b whether or not the interests of the co-owners are equal.

5 If at any time before claims could have been made under any qualifying compensation scheme—

a a person beneficially entitled to a qualifying deposit has died, and

b no information in respect of that deposit was contained in any account relating to that deceased person under any provision of IHTA 1984,

that deposit is to be ignored for all purposes of IHTA 1984.

6 For this purpose “qualifying compensation scheme” and “qualifying deposit” have the same meaning as in section 756A of ITTOIA 2005.

7 Subsection (2) has effect (and is deemed always to have had effect)—

a for the year 1996-97, and

b subsequent years of assessment.

8 Subsection (4) has effect (and is deemed always to have had effect) in relation to disposals made on or after 6th April 1996; but no loss accruing on a disposal made before 6th April 2006 is, as a result of that subsection, to cease to be an allowable loss.

9 In relation to any time before 6th April 2005 (the commencement of ITTOIA 2005)—

a the section inserted by subsection (2) is to be treated as if it were inserted into ICTA (and as if, in subsection (5) of that section, “of ICTA” were omitted), and

b any reference to that section in any enactment is to be read accordingly.

10 In relation to the year 2005-06 or any earlier year of assessment, all such adjustments are to be made as are required to give effect to the exemptions conferred as a result of this section.

11 But the adjustments are to be made only if the person entitled to the exemption makes a claim for the exemption on or before 31st January 2012.

12 The adjustments may be made by discharge or repayment of tax, the making of an assessment or otherwise.

70 Restrictions on companies buying losses or gains¶

1 TCGA 1992 is amended as follows.

2 After section 184 insert—

Restrictions on buying losses or gains etc

184A Restrictions on buying losses: tax avoidance schemes

1 This section applies for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains if—

a at any time (“the relevant time”) there is a qualifying change of ownership in relation to a company (“the relevant company”) (see section 184C),

b a loss (a “qualifying loss”) accrues to the relevant company or any other company on a disposal of a pre-change asset (see subsection (3)),

c the change of ownership occurs directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure a tax advantage (see section 184D), and

d the advantage involves the deduction of a qualifying loss from any chargeable gains (whether or not it also involves anything else).

2 A qualifying loss accruing to a company is not to be deductible from chargeable gains accruing to the company unless the gains accrue to the company on a disposal of a pre-change asset.

3 In this section a “pre-change asset” means an asset which was held by the relevant company before the relevant time (but see also sections 184E and 184F).

4 In this section “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

5 For the purposes of this section it does not matter—

a whether a qualifying loss accrues before, after or at the relevant time,

b whether a qualifying loss accrues at a time when there are no chargeable gains from which it could be deducted (or could otherwise have been deducted), or

c whether the tax advantage is secured for the company to which a qualifying loss accrues or for any other company.

184B Restrictions on buying gains: tax avoidance schemes

1 This section applies for the purposes of corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains if—

a at any time (“the relevant time”) there is a qualifying change of ownership in relation to a company (“the relevant company”) (see section 184C),

b a gain (a “qualifying gain”) accrues to the relevant company or any other company on a disposal of a pre-change asset (see subsection (3)),

d the advantage involves the deduction of a loss from a qualifying gain (whether or not it also involves anything else).

2 In the case of a qualifying gain accruing to a company, a loss accruing to the company is not to be deductible from the gain unless the loss accrues to the company on a disposal of a pre-change asset.

3 In this section a “pre-change asset” means an asset which was held by the relevant company before the relevant time (but see also sections 184E and 184F).

4 In this section “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

5 For the purposes of this section it does not matter—

a whether a qualifying gain accrues before, after or at the relevant time,

b whether a qualifying gain accrues at a time when there are no losses which could be deducted (or could otherwise have been deducted) from the gain, or

c whether the tax advantage is secured for the company to which a qualifying gain accrues or for any other company.

184C Sections 184A and 184B: meaning of “qualifying change of ownership”

1 For the purposes of sections 184A and 184B, there is a qualifying change of ownership in relation to a company at any time if any one or more of the following occur at that time—

a the company joins a group of companies (see subsections (2) to (5)),

b the company ceases to be a member of a group of companies,

c the company becomes subject to different control (see subsections (6) to (9)).

2 Whether a company is a member of a group of companies at any time is determined in accordance with section 170.

3 But, apart from in the excepted case, nothing in section 170(10) or (10A) is to prevent all the companies of one group from being regarded as joining another group when the principal company of the first group becomes a member of the other group at any time.

4 The excepted case is the case where—

a the persons owning the shares of the principal company of the first group immediately before that time are the same as the persons owning the shares of the principal company of the other group immediately after that time,

b the principal company of the other group was not the principal company of any group immediately before that time, and

c immediately after that time the principal company of the other group had assets consisting entirely (or almost entirely) of shares of the principal company of the first group.

5 For this purpose, references to shares of a company are to the shares comprised in the issued share capital of the company.

6 The general rule is that a company becomes subject to different control at any time if any one or more of the following occur—

a a person has control of the company at that time (whether alone or together with one or more others) and the person did not previously have control of the company,

b a person has control of the company at that time together with one or more others and the person previously had control of the company alone,

c a person ceases to have control of the company at that time (whether the person had control alone or together with one or more others).

7 The general rule is subject to the following exceptions.

8 A company does not become subject to different control in any case where it joins a group of companies and the case is the excepted case mentioned above.

9 A company (“the subsidiary”) does not become subject to different control at any time in any case where—

a immediately before that time the subsidiary is the 75 per cent. subsidiary of another company, and

b (although there is a change in the direct ownership of the subsidiary) that other company continues immediately after that time to own it as a 75 per cent. subsidiary.

184D Sections 184A and 184B: meaning of “tax advantage”

For the purposes of sections 184A and 184B, “tax advantage” means—

a relief or increased relief from corporation tax,

b repayment or increased repayment of corporation tax,

c the avoidance or reduction of a charge to corporation tax or an assessment to corporation tax, or

d the avoidance of a possible assessment to corporation tax.

184E Sections 184A and 184B: “pre-change assets”: basic rules

1 If—

a a company other than the relevant company makes a disposal of an asset, and

b the asset has been disposed of at any time after the relevant time by a disposal to which section 171(1) does not apply (a “non-section 171(1) transfer”),

the asset ceases to be regarded as a pre-change asset for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B (but see also subsections (10) and (11)).

2 But (without affecting the generality of the provision made by the following subsection) if, on a non-section 171(1) transfer,—

a an asset would cease to be regarded as a pre-change asset as a result of subsection (1), and

b the company making the non-section 171(1) transfer retains any interest in or over the asset,

that interest is to be regarded as a pre-change asset for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B.

3 If—

a the relevant company or any other company holds an asset (“the new asset”) at or after the relevant time,

b the value of the new asset derives in whole or in part from a pre-change asset, and

c the new asset is not acquired by the company concerned as a result of a non-section 171(1) transfer,

the new asset is also to be regarded as a pre-change asset for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B.

4 For this purpose the cases in which the value of an asset may be derived from any other asset include any case where—

a assets have been merged or divided,

b assets have changed their nature, or

c rights or interests in or over assets have been created or extinguished.

5 If a pre-change asset is “the old asset” for the purposes of section 116 (reorganisations, conversions and reconstructions), “the new asset” for the purposes of that section is also to be regarded as a pre-change asset for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B.

6 If a pre-change asset is the “original shares” for the purposes of sections 127 to 131 (reorganisation or reduction of share capital), the “new holding” for the purposes of those sections is also to be regarded as a pre-change asset for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B.

7 The following subsection applies if, as a result of the application of a relevant deferral provision in the case of a disposal of a pre-change asset (“the original disposal”),—

a a gain or loss that would otherwise accrue to a company does not so accrue, or

b any part of any such gain is treated as forming part of a single chargeable gain which does not accrue to the company on the original disposal,

and a gain or loss does, wholly or partly in consequence of the application of that provision in the case of the original disposal, accrue to the company or any other company on a subsequent occasion.

8 So much of the gain or loss accruing on the subsequent occasion as accrues in consequence of the application of the relevant deferral provision in the case of the original disposal is to be regarded for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B as accruing on a disposal of a pre-change asset (so far as it would not otherwise be so regarded).

9 A “relevant deferral provision” means any of the following—

a section 139 (reconstruction involving transfer of business),

b section 140 (postponement of charge on transfer of assets to non-resident company),

c section 140A (transfer of a UK trade),

d section 140E (merger leaving assets within UK tax charge),

e sections 152 and 153 (replacement of business assets),

f section 187 (postponement of charge on deemed disposal under section 185).

10 If—

a a pre-change asset of the relevant company is transferred to another company (“the transferee company”),

b any of sections 139, 140A and 140E apply to the companies in the case of the asset, and

c the transfer of the asset is made directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, the arrangements mentioned in section 184A or 184B,

the asset is to be regarded as a “pre-change asset” in the hands of the transferee company for the purposes of sections 184A and 184B.

11 In such a case, subsection (1) applies as if the reference in paragraph (a) of that subsection to the relevant company were to the transferee company.

184F Sections 184A and 184B: “pre-change assets”: pooling rules

1 This section applies, in the case of any pre-change asset of the relevant company or any pre-change asset of any company which is acquired on a disposal to which section 171(1) applies, if—

a the pre-change asset consists of a holding of securities which falls as a result of any provision of Chapter 1 of Part 4 to be regarded as a single asset (“the pre-change pooled asset”), and

b as a result of any disposal or acquisition at any time after the relevant time, any securities (“the other securities”) would (but for this section) be regarded as forming part of the pre-change pooled asset.

2 None of the other securities are to be regarded for the purposes of this Act as forming part of the pre-change pooled asset.

3 But this does not prevent the other securities from being regarded, as a result of any provision of that Chapter, as forming part of or constituting a different, single asset (“the other pooled asset”).

4 Securities of the same class as the other securities which are disposed of at or after the relevant time—

a are to be identified first with the other securities or securities forming part of the other pooled asset,

b are to be identified next with securities forming part of the pre-change pooled asset (if the number of securities disposed of exceeds the number identified in accordance with paragraph (a)), and

c subject to paragraphs (a) and (b), are to be identified in accordance with the provisions applicable apart from those paragraphs.

5 The above identification rules apply even if some or all of the securities disposed of are otherwise identified—

a by the disposal, or

b by a transfer or delivery giving effect to it;

but where a company disposes of securities in one capacity, they are not to be identified with securities which it holds, or can dispose of, only in some other capacity.

6 Chapter 1 of Part 4 has effect subject to this section.

7 In this section—

“pre-change asset” means an asset which is pre-change asset for the purposes of section 184A or 184B,
“securities” does not include relevant securities as defined in section 108 but, subject to that, means—
1. shares or securities of a company, and
2. any other assets where they are of a nature to be dealt in without identifying the particular assets disposed of or acquired.

8 For the purposes of this section, shares or securities of a company are not to be treated as being of the same class unless—

a they are so treated by the practice of a recognised stock exchange, or

b they would be so treated if dealt with on a recognised stock exchange.

3 In Schedule 7A (restriction on set-off of pre-entry losses), in paragraph 1(1) (application of Schedule), at the end insert “ , but this Schedule shall have no effect in any case where section 184A (restrictions on buying losses: tax avoidance schemes) has effect in relation to those losses ”.

4 Section 177B and Schedule 7AA (restrictions on setting losses against pre-entry gains) shall cease to have effect.

5 In section 213 (insurance companies: spreading of gains and losses under section 212)—

a in subsection (8H) for “that the net amount is” to the end substitute “ that the net amount would still arise even if losses accruing after the date on which the company or transferee joined the group of companies were disregarded ”, and

b in subsection (8I) for “paragraph 1” to the end substitute “ section 184C as if those references were contained in that section; and in subsection (8A)(b) above “group” has the same meaning as in that section ”.

The amendments made by this subsection have effect where the accounting period for which the net amount represents an excess of losses over gains is an accounting period ending on or after 5th December 2005.

6 The amendments made by this section, other than subsection (5), have effect for calculating the amount to be included in respect of chargeable gains in a company's total profits for any accounting period ending on or after 5th December 2005.

7 But, in respect of any such accounting period, those amendments do not have effect in relation to the deduction of any loss from chargeable gains that accrue on any disposal made before 5th December 2005 unless that loss accrues on a disposal made on or after that date.

8 For the purposes of those amendments, it does not matter whether a qualifying change of ownership in relation to a company occurs—

a before 5th December 2005, or

b on or after that date.

9 Subsections (10) to (12) apply so long as each of the following conditions is met—

a at any time (“the relevant time”) before 5th December 2005 there is a qualifying change of ownership in relation to a company (“the relevant company”) for the purposes of section 184A ^F9. . . of TCGA 1992,

b the change of ownership occurs because the relevant company ceases to be a member of a group of companies at the relevant time (whether or not it also occurs for any other reason),

c the principal company of that group has control of the relevant company at the relevant time and at immediately afterwards,

ca no qualifying change of ownership occurs at any time in relation to the principal company of that group for the purposes of section 184A of TCGA 1992 directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure a tax advantage falling within subsection (1)(d) of that section, and

d ^F12. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

10 Subsection (2) of that section has effect in relation to that qualifying loss subject to the following modifications.

11 That subsection has effect as if there were inserted at the end of it unless the gains accrue to the company on a disposal of a pre-change asset.

12 That subsection (modified as mentioned above) has effect as if the reference to a pre-change asset included an asset held before the relevant time by any company—

a which, immediately before that time, was a member of the same group of companies as the relevant company, and

b which, throughout the period beginning with that time and ending immediately after the making of the disposal referred to in that subsection, has remained under the control of the company which was the principal company of that group at the relevant time.

13 Expressions which are used in subsections (9) to (12) have the same meaning as in sections 184A and 184C of TCGA 1992.

2 Condition A is that—

a any receipt arises to a company (“the relevant company”) on a disposal of an asset, and

b the receipt arises directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any arrangements.

3 Condition B is that—

a a chargeable gain (the “relevant gain”) accrues to the relevant company on the disposal, and

b losses accrue (or have accrued) to the relevant company on any other disposal of any asset (whether before or after or as part of the arrangements).

4 Condition C is that, but for the arrangements, an amount would have fallen to be taken into account wholly or partly instead of the receipt in calculating the income chargeable to corporation tax—

a of the relevant company, or

b of a company which, at any qualifying time, is a member of the same group as the relevant company.

5 Condition D is that—

a the main purpose of the arrangements, or

b one of the main purposes of the arrangements,

is to secure a tax advantage that involves the deduction of any of the losses from the relevant gain (whether or not it also involves anything else).

6 If the Board consider, on reasonable grounds, that conditions A to D are or may be satisfied, they may give the relevant company a notice in respect of the arrangements (but see also section 184I).

7 If, when the notice is given, conditions A to D are satisfied, no loss accruing to the relevant company at any time is to be deductible from the relevant gain.

8 A notice under this section must—

a specify the arrangements,

b specify the accounting period in which the relevant gain accrues, and

c inform the relevant company of the effect of this section.

9 If relevant gains accrue in more than one accounting period, a single notice under this section may specify all the accounting periods concerned.

10 In this section—

“arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable),
“group”, in relation to companies, means a group determined in accordance with section 170,
“qualifying time”, in relation to any arrangements, means any time which falls in the period—

b losses accrue (or have accrued) to the relevant company on any disposal of any asset (whether before or after or as part of the arrangements).

3 Condition B is that the relevant company, or a company connected with the relevant company, incurs any expenditure—

a which is allowable as a deduction in calculating its total profits chargeable to corporation tax but which is not allowable as a deduction in computing its gains under section 38, and

b which is incurred directly or indirectly in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, the arrangements.

4 Condition C is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to secure a tax advantage that involves both—

a the deduction of the expenditure in calculating total profits, and

b the deduction of any of the losses from the relevant gain,

whether or not it also involves anything else.

5 Condition D is that the arrangements are not excluded arrangements. For this purpose arrangements are excluded arrangements if—

a the arrangements are made in respect of land or any estate or interest in land,

c the person to whom the payment mentioned in that subsection is payable is not a company connected with the relevant company, and

d the arrangements are made between persons dealing at arm's length.

6 If the Board consider, on reasonable grounds, that conditions A to D are or may be satisfied, they may give the company a notice in respect of the arrangements (but see also section 184I).

8 A notice under this section must—

a specify the arrangements,

b specify the accounting period in which the relevant gain accrues, and

c inform the relevant company of the effect of this section.

9 If relevant gains accrue in more than one accounting period, a single notice under this section may specify all the accounting periods concerned.

10 In this section—

“arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable),
“tax advantage” has the meaning given by section 184D.

184I Notices under sections 184G and 184H

1 Subsection (2) applies if—

a the Board give a notice under section 184G or 184H (a “relevant notice”) to a company that specifies an accounting period, and

b the notice is given before the company has made its company tax return for that accounting period.

2 If the company makes its return for that period before the end of the applicable 90 day period (see subsection (12)), it may—

a make a return that disregards the notice, and

b at any time after making the return and before the end of the applicable 90 day period, amend the return for the purpose of complying with the provision referred to in the notice.

3 If a company has made a company tax return for an accounting period, the Board may give the company a relevant notice in relation to that period only if a notice of enquiry has been given to the company in respect of its return for that period.

4 After any enquiries into the return for that period have been completed, the Board may give the company a relevant notice only if requirements A and B are met.

5 Requirement A is that at the time the enquiries into the return were completed, the Board could not have been reasonably expected, on the basis of information made available—

a to them before that time, or

b to an officer of theirs before that time,

to have been aware that the circumstances were such that a relevant notice could have been given to the company in relation to that period.

6 For the purposes of requirement A, paragraph 44(2) and (3) of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (information made available) applies as it applies for the purposes of paragraph 44(1).

7 Requirement B is that—

a the company or any other person was requested to produce or provide information during an enquiry into the return for that period, and

b if the request had been duly complied with, the Board could reasonably have been expected to give the company a relevant notice in relation to that period.

8 If—

a a company makes a company tax return for an accounting period, and

b the company is subsequently given a relevant notice that specifies that period,

it may amend the return for the purpose of complying with the provision referred to in the notice at any time before the end of the applicable 90 day period.

9 If the relevant notice is given to the company after it has been given a notice of enquiry in respect of its return for the period, no closure notice may be given in relation to its company tax return until—

a the end of the applicable 90 day period, or

b the earlier amendment of its company tax return for the purpose of complying with the provision referred to in the notice.

10 If the relevant notice is given to the company after any enquiries into the return for the period are completed, no discovery assessment may be made as regards the chargeable gain to which the notice relates until—

a the end of the applicable 90 day period, or

b the earlier amendment of the company tax return for the purpose of complying with the provision referred to in the notice.

11 Subsections (2)(b) and (8) do not prevent a company tax return for a period becoming incorrect if—

a a relevant notice is given to the company in relation to that period,

b the return is not amended in accordance with subsection (2)(b) or (8) for the purpose of complying with the provision referred to in the notice, and

c the return ought to have been so amended.

12 In this section—

2 For section 204 (policies of insurance) substitute—

204 Policies of insurance and non-deferred annuities

1 A gain accruing on a disposal of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by a non-life policy of insurance is not a chargeable gain (but see subsection (2)).

2 If a disposal is of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by a non-life policy of insurance of the risk of—

a any kind of damage to assets, or

b the loss or depreciation of assets,

the exemption under subsection (1) does not apply so far as those rights relate to chargeable assets.

3 For this purpose “chargeable assets” means assets on the disposal of which a chargeable gain—

a may accrue, or

b might have accrued.

4 Nothing in subsections (1) and (2) prevents sums received under a non-life policy of insurance of the risk of—

a any kind of damage to assets, or

b the loss or depreciation of assets,

from being sums derived from the assets for the purposes of this Act (and, in particular, for the purposes of section 22).

5 A gain accruing on a disposal of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by a contract for an annuity is not a chargeable gain if the annuity is—

a a non-deferred annuity, or

b an annuity granted (or deemed to be granted) under the Government Annuities Act 1929.

6 If any investments or other assets are, in accordance with a policy issued in the course of life assurance business carried on by an insurance company, transferred to the policy holder—

a the policy holder's acquisition of the assets, and

b the disposal of the assets to the policy holder,

are to be taken for the purposes of this Act to be for a consideration equal to the market value of the assets.

7 In this section “interest”, in relation to any rights, means an interest as a co-owner of the rights.

8 It does not matter—

a whether the rights are owned jointly or in common, or

b whether or not the interests of the co-owners are equal.

9 In this section a “non-deferred annuity” means an annuity—

a which is not granted under a contract for a deferred annuity, and

b which is granted in the ordinary course of a business of granting annuities on the life of any person,

and it does not matter whether the annuity includes instalments of capital.

10 In this section a “non-life policy of insurance” means—

a a contract made in the course of a capital redemption business, as defined in section 458(3) of the Taxes Act, and

b any other policy of insurance which is not a policy of insurance on the life of any person.

3 In section 237 (superannuation funds, annuities and annual payments)—

a at the end of paragraph (a), insert “ or ”, and

b omit paragraph (b) (exemption for disposals of non-deferred annuities etc).

1 Section 90 of FA 2002 (controlled foreign companies and treaty non-resident companies) is amended as follows.

2 In subsection (2) (application of subsection (1), which inserted section 747(1B) of ICTA (disregard of section 249 of FA 1994 for most purposes of Chapter 4 of Part 17 of ICTA (controlled foreign companies))), for paragraph (b) (exclusion for companies which were non-resident immediately before 1st April 2002) substitute—

and at any subsequent time the relevant property or any derived property is comprised in his estate for the purposes of IHTA 1984 as a result of section 49(1) of that Act (treatment of interests in possession).

12 Where this sub-paragraph applies, the relevant property and any derived property—

a are not to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) as comprised in his estate at that subsequent time, and

b are not to be treated as falling within sub-paragraph (5) in relation to him at that subsequent time.

13 For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (11) and (12) references, in relation to the relevant property, to any derived property are to other property—

a which derives its value from the relevant property, and

b whose value, so far as attributable to the relevant property, is not substantially less than the value of the relevant property.

3 After section 261 of CAA 2001 (special leasing: life assurance business) insert—

261A Special leasing: leasing partnerships

1 This section applies for corporation tax purposes if—

a a company carries on a business in partnership with other persons in a chargeable period of the partnership,

b the business (“the leasing business”) is, on any day in that period, a business of leasing plant or machinery,

c the company is entitled to an allowance under section 19 (special leasing of plant or machinery) for any chargeable period comprised (wholly or partly) in the chargeable period of the partnership, and

d the interest of the company in the leasing business during the chargeable period of the partnership is not determined on an allowable basis.

2 Subsections (3) to (6) of section 260 do not apply in relation to the allowance.

3 For the purposes of this section—

a “business of leasing plant or machinery” has the same meaning as in Part 3 of Schedule 10 to FA 2006 (sale etc of lessor companies etc), and

b section 785ZA of ICTA applies for determining whether the interest of the company in the leasing business during the chargeable period of the partnership is determined on an allowable basis.

4 The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to any business carried on by a company in partnership in any accounting period of the partnership ending on or after 5th December 2005.

5 But, in relation to any accounting period of the partnership beginning before 5th December 2005 and ending on or after that date, those amendments have effect only if—

a the company starts to carry on the business in partnership on or after that date, or

b a relevant change in the interest of the company in the business occurs on or after that date.

6 A relevant change in the interest of the company in the business occurs at any time if—

a immediately before that time its interest in the business during any accounting period of the partnership is determined on an allowable basis (within the meaning given by section 887 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010), and

b immediately after that time its interest in the business during that period is not so determined.

84 Disposal of plant or machinery subject to lease where income retained¶

1 CAA 2001 is amended as follows.

2 In section 66 (list of provisions outside Chapter 5 of Part 2 about disposal values), after the entry relating to section 222 of CAA 2001, insert—

3 After section 228J (plant or machinery subject to further operating lease) insert—

Disposal of plant or machinery subject to lease where income retained

228K Disposal of plant or machinery subject to lease where income retained

1 This section applies for corporation tax purposes if—

a on any day (“the relevant day”) a person (“the lessor”) carries on a business of leasing plant or machinery (the “leasing business”),

b on the relevant day the lessor sells or otherwise disposes of any relevant plant or machinery subject to a lease to another person,

c the lessor remains entitled immediately after the disposal to some or all of the rentals under the lease in respect of the plant or machinery which are payable on or after the relevant day, and

d the lessor is required to bring a disposal value of the plant or machinery into account under this Part.

2 The disposal value to be brought into account is determined as follows.

3 If the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal exceeds the limit that would otherwise be imposed on the amount of the disposal value by section 62 (general limit) or 239 (limit on disposal value where additional VAT rebate)—

a that limit is not to apply, and

b the whole of the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal is to be the disposal value to be brought into account.

4 In any other case, the disposal value to be brought into account is the sum of—

a the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal, and

b the value of the rentals under the lease in respect of the plant or machinery (see subsections (7) and (8)) which are payable on or after the relevant day and to which the lessor remains entitled immediately after the disposal,

but subject to the limit imposed on the amount of the disposal value by section 62 or 239.

5 If—

a any of the rentals under the lease are receivable by the lessor on or after the relevant day, and

b the value of any of those rentals is represented in the amount of the disposal value under subsection (4)(b),

the amount of those rentals that is equal to their value as so represented is left out of account in calculating the income of the lessor's leasing business for corporation tax purposes.

6 If, in determining under subsection (5) the amount of any rental to be so left out of account, it is necessary to apportion the amount of the rental, the apportionment is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.

7 For the purposes of this section, the value of any rentals under the lease in respect of the plant or machinery is taken to be the amount of the net present value of the rentals (see section 228L).

8 If any land or other asset which is not plant or machinery is subject to the lease, the value of any rentals under the lease in respect of the plant or machinery is taken to be so much of the amount of the net present value of the rentals as, on a just and reasonable basis, relates to the plant or machinery.

9 This section is supplemented by—

a section 228L (which provides rules for determining the net present value of the rentals), and

b section 228M (which defines other expressions used in this section).

228L Determining the net present value of the rentals for purposes of s.228K

1 For the purposes of section 228K, the amount of the net present value of the rentals is calculated as follows—Step 1Find the amount (“RI”) of each rental payment—

a which is payable at any time during the term of the lease, and

b which is payable on or after the relevant day.

Step 2For each rental payment find the day (“the payment day”) on which it becomes payable.Step 3For each rental payment find the number of days in the period (“P”) which—

a begins with the relevant day, and

b ends with the payment day.

Step 4Calculate the net present value of each payment (“NPVRI”) by applying the following formula—

\frac{RI}{(1 + T)^{i}}

where—

T is the temporal discount rate, and

i is the number of days in P divided by 365.

Step 5Add together each amount of NPVRI determined under step 4.

2 For the purposes of this section the “term” of a lease has the meaning given in Chapter 6A of this Part.

3 For the purposes of this section the “temporal discount rate” is 3.5% or such other rate as may be specified by regulations made by the Treasury.

4 The regulations may make such provision as is mentioned in subsection (3)(b) to (f) of section 178 of FA 1989 (power of Treasury to set rates of interest).

5 Subsection (5) of that section (power of Commissioners to specify rate by order in certain circumstances) applies in relation to regulations under this section as it applies in relation to regulations under that section.

228M Other definitions for the purposes of s.228K

1 This section applies for the purposes of section 228K.

2 “Business of leasing plant or machinery”—

a has the same meaning as in Part 2 of Schedule 10 to FA 2006 (sale etc of lessor companies etc) (if the business is carried on otherwise than in partnership), or

b has the same meaning as in Part 3 of that Schedule (if the business is carried on in partnership).

3 “Lease” includes—

a an underlease, sublease, tenancy or licence, and

b an agreement for any of those things.

4 “Relevant plant or machinery”, in relation to a business of leasing plant or machinery, means plant or machinery on whose provision expenditure is incurred wholly or partly for the purposes of the business.

Part 5 Oil¶

New basis for determining market value¶

146 New basis for determining the market value of oil¶

1 In OTA 1975, in Schedule 3 (petroleum revenue tax: miscellaneous provisions) before paragraph 2 (definition of market value of oil) insert—

1A Determination of market value: the notional delivery day for a quantity of oil

1 This paragraph has effect for determining, for the purposes of this Schedule, the day which is the “notional delivery day” in the case of any particular quantity of oil of any particular kind whose market value falls to be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule in the case of any chargeable period.

2 The notional delivery day need not be a day in the chargeable period.

3 In the case of a quantity of oil which, at the end of the chargeable period,—

a has neither been disposed of nor relevantly appropriated in the period, or

b has been disposed of but not delivered in the period,

the notional delivery day is the last business day of the chargeable period.

4 In the case of—

a a quantity of oil won and disposed of which is delivered on a day in the chargeable period, or

b a quantity of oil—

i relevantly appropriated on a day in the chargeable period, but

ii not disposed of in the chargeable period,

the notional delivery day is to be determined in accordance with sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) below.

5 If that oil is—

a oil transported by ship from the place of extraction to a place in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, or

b oil transported by pipeline to a place in the United Kingdom and loaded on to a ship there,

and there is a loading slot for it (see sub-paragraph (8)), the notional delivery day is the middle day of the loading slot.

6 If sub-paragraph (5) above does not apply to that oil, then—

a if it is oil delivered on a day in the chargeable period, the notional delivery day is the date of the delivery, or

b if it is oil relevantly appropriated on a day in the chargeable period, the notional delivery day is the date of the appropriation.

7 The Treasury may by regulations make provision for or in connection with substituting as the notional delivery day in such circumstances as may be prescribed—

a in the case of oil transported by ship from the place of extraction to a place in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, the date of completion of load, or

b in the case of oil transported by pipeline to a place in the United Kingdom and loaded on to a ship there, the date of the bill of lading.

8 The “loading slot” for any oil is the period of three days within which the loading of the oil on to the ship is or was to take place—

a as duly published by the operator of the facility at which that loading is or was to take place (unless paragraph (b) below applies), or

b as subsequently finally duly varied to give effect to any modifications duly notified to that operator by the participator concerned.

9 In sub-paragraph (8) above, “duly” means in accordance with the arrangements for the time being governing the time and manner of—

a publication, or variation, of the final loading schedule for the calendar month in which loading is or was to take place, or

b notification of modifications to that schedule,

and, in any case, before the end of the calendar month immediately preceding that in which loading is to take place.

10 If the Treasury consider that, for the purpose of defining “loading slot”, any period of days for the time being specified by or under this Act as the period of days within which loading of oil on to a ship is to take place is, or is to be, no longer appropriate, they may by regulations make provision for, or in connection with,—

a varying the number of days in the period,

b determining the day that is to be the notional delivery day if the number, as varied, is an even number.

The power conferred by this sub-paragraph includes power to make amendments to, or modifications of, this Schedule.

2 Paragraph 2 of that Schedule (definition of market value of oil) is amended as follows.

3 In sub-paragraph (1) (market value of oil in any calendar month to be determined in accordance with the paragraph) for “any oil in any calendar month” substitute “ any particular quantity of oil of any kind on any day ”.

4 After sub-paragraph (1) insert—

5 For sub-paragraph (2) substitute—

2 The market value of any particular quantity of Category 1 oil of any kind is the price for which that quantity of oil of that kind might reasonably have been expected to be sold under a contract of sale that meets the following conditions—

a the contract is for the sale of the oil at arm's length to a willing buyer;

b the contract is for delivery of a single standard cargo of the oil;

c the contract specifies a period of three days within which loading of the oil is to take place and that period includes the notional delivery day for the actual oil;

d the contract requires the oil to have been subjected to appropriate initial treatment before delivery;

e the contract requires the oil to be delivered—

i in the case of oil extracted in the United Kingdom, at the place of extraction; or

ii in the case of oil extracted from strata in the sea bed and subsoil of the territorial sea of the United Kingdom or of a designated area, at the place in the United Kingdom or another country at which the seller could reasonably be expected to deliver it or, if there is more than one such place, the one nearest to the place of extraction.

The terms as to payment which are to be implied in the contract are those which are customarily contained in contracts for the sale at arm's length of oil of the kind in question.

2AA The market value of any particular quantity of Category 2 oil of any kind is the price for which that quantity of oil of that kind might reasonably have been expected to be sold under a contract of sale that meets the following conditions—

a the contract is for the sale of the oil at arm's length to a willing buyer;

b the contract provides for delivery of the oil on the notional delivery day for the actual oil or within such period that includes that day as is normal under a contract at arm's length for the sale of oil of that kind (or, if there is more than one such period, the shortest of them);

c the contract is made on a date such that the period between that date and the notional delivery day for the actual oil is the normal period between contract and delivery in the case of a contract at arm's length for the sale of oil of that kind (or, if there is more than one such period, the shortest of them);

d the contract requires the oil to have been subjected to appropriate initial treatment before delivery;

e the contract requires the oil to be delivered—

i in the case of oil extracted in the United Kingdom, at the place of extraction; or

The terms as to payment which are to be implied in the contract are those which are customarily contained in contracts for the sale at arm's length of oil of the kind in question.

6 For sub-paragraphs (2A) to (2D) substitute—

2E For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) or (2AA) above, the price of any quantity of Category 1 or Category 2 oil of any kind shall be determined in such manner, on the basis of such information, and by reference to such factors, as may be prescribed for oil of that Category and kind in regulations made by the Board.

2F The provision that may be made by regulations under subsection (2E) above includes provision for or in connection with any or all of the following—

a determining the price by reference to prices, or an average of prices, for sales of oil (whether or not oil of the Category or kind in question, and whether the prices are prices under actual contracts, prices that are published and widely available (whether on payment of a fee or otherwise) or prices ascertained or determined in some other way);

b the prices to be taken into account;

c the descriptions of contracts to be taken into account;

d the method to be used for determining an average of prices;

e the day or days, or period or periods, by reference to which prices, or any average of prices, is to be determined;

f the application of a prescribed price differential, in cases where the price of oil of one kind falls to be determined in whole or in part by reference to prices for oil of some other kind.

2G Sub-paragraph (2I) below has effect if, or in so far as, the Board are satisfied that it is impracticable or inappropriate to determine for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) or (2AA) above the price of any oil in accordance with the provisions of regulations for the time being in force under sub-paragraph (2E) above.

2H For that purpose it is immaterial whether the impracticability or inappropriateness is by virtue of—

a an insufficiency of contracts or published prices that satisfy the conditions,

b an insufficiency of information relating to such contracts or published prices, or

or for any other reason.

2I Where this sub-paragraph has effect, the price is to be determined—

a does not fall to be brought into account for the purposes of section 2(5)(b) of OTA 1975 for the last old period by reason only that the oil was not delivered in that period, and

b would not (apart from this subsection) fall to be brought into account for the purposes of that provision in the first new period by reason only that the date on which the oil is to be regarded by virtue of section 12A of that Act as delivered falls in the last old period,

the date on which the oil is to be taken for the purposes of section 2(5)(b) of that Act to have been delivered is instead to be the first business day of the first new period.

7 Any power to make regulations that is conferred under or by virtue of any of the amendments made by section 146 or Schedule 18 includes power to make regulations having effect for, or in relation to,—

a the first new period, or

Ring fence trades¶

152 Increase in rate of supplementary charge¶

1 In section 501A of ICTA (supplementary charge in respect of ring fence trades), in subsection (1) (charge of 10 per cent on adjusted ring fence profits), for “10 per cent” substitute “ 20 per cent ”.

2 The amendment made by subsection (1) has effect in relation to any accounting period beginning on or after 1st January 2006 (but see also subsection (3)).

3 For the purpose of calculating the amount of the supplementary charge on a company for an accounting period (a “straddling period”) beginning before 1st January 2006 and ending on or after that date—

a so much of the straddling period as falls before 1st January 2006, and so much of the straddling period as falls on or after that date, are treated as separate accounting periods, and

b the company's adjusted ring fence profits for the straddling period are apportioned to the two separate accounting periods in proportion to the number of days in those periods.

4 The amount of the supplementary charge on the company for the straddling period is the sum of the amounts of supplementary charge that would, in accordance with subsection (3), be chargeable on the company for those separate accounting periods.

5 In the case of a company's straddling period—

a the Instalment Payments Regulations apply as if the amendment made by subsection (1) had not been made, but

b those Regulations also apply separately, in accordance with the following subsection, in relation to the increase in the amount of any supplementary charge on the company for that period that arises as a result of that amendment.

6 In that separate application of those Regulations as mentioned in subsection (5)(b), those Regulations have effect as if, for the purposes of those Regulations,—

a the straddling period were an accounting period beginning on 1st January 2006,

b supplementary charge were chargeable on the company for that period, and

c the amount of that charge were equal to the increase in the amount of the supplementary charge for the straddling period that arises as a result of the amendment made by subsection (1).

7 Any reference in the Instalment Payments Regulations to the total liability of a company is, accordingly, to be read—

a in their application as a result of subsection (5)(a), as a reference to the amount that would be the company's total liability for the straddling period if the amendment made by subsection (1) had not been made, and

b in their application as a result of subsection (5)(b), as a reference to the amount of the supplementary charge on the company for the deemed accounting period under subsection (6)(a).

8 For the purposes of the Instalment Payments Regulations—

a a company is to be regarded as a large company as respects the deemed accounting period under subsection (6)(a) if (and only if) it is a large company for those purposes as respects the straddling period, and

b any question whether a company is a large company as respects the straddling period is to be determined as it would have been determined if the amendment made by subsection (1) had not been made.

9 If the Instalment Payments Regulations—

a apply in relation to a company's liability to supplementary charge for the deemed accounting period under subsection (6)(a), and

b would (but for this subsection) treat any instalment payment in respect of that liability as being due and payable on a date falling on or before 22nd March 2006,

those Regulations have effect as if the payment were due and payable instead at the end of the period of 14 days beginning with that date.

10 In this section—

“adjusted ring fence profits” has the meaning given by section 501A of ICTA,
“the Instalment Payments Regulations” means the Corporation Tax (Instalment Payments) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/ 3175),
“supplementary charge” means any sum chargeable under section 501A(1) of ICTA as if it were an amount of corporation tax.

c if (or so far as) it is expenditure to which no part of any capital sum received by the company in the relevant period is reasonably attributable under section 425(2) of CAA 2001, and

d if no entitlement to a balancing allowance for a chargeable period in respect of the expenditure arises under any of sections 426 to 431 of CAA 2001 as a result of an event that occurs in the relevant period (as well as in that chargeable period).

7 Expenditure falls within Case C if—

a it is qualifying expenditure on research and development under Part 6 of CAA 2001 where the ring fence trade is the trade by reference to which the expenditure is qualifying expenditure, and

Claims in respect of overseas losses of non-resident companies

2 In relation to the surrendering company, this Part of this Schedule applies as if—

a references to the relief being surrendered were to the EEA amount and to the relief being claimed, and

b references to its accounting period were to its deemed accounting period under Part 2 of Schedule 18A to the Taxes Act 1988.

3 Notice of consent of the surrendering company—

a is to be given to the officer of the Board under paragraph 70(3)(b) by the claimant company (and not by the surrendering company), and

b is to be given to the officer to whom the claimant company makes its company tax returns.

4 If the surrendering company is not within the charge to income or corporation tax, the requirement under paragraph 71(1)(e) for notice of consent by the surrendering company to contain details of its tax district reference is not to apply.

5 If notice of consent is withdrawn under paragraph 71, the notice of the withdrawal is to be given to the officer of the Board by the claimant company (and not by the surrendering company).

6 If notice of consent is withdrawn under paragraph 75—

a the notice of withdrawal, and any copy of any new notice of consent, is to be sent to an officer of Revenue and Customs by the claimant company (and not by the surrendering company), and

b any notice containing directions by an officer of Revenue and Customs under sub-paragraph (4) of that paragraph is to be given to the claimant company (and not to the surrendering company).

7 The remaining provisions of that paragraph, and the rest of this Part of this Schedule, are, accordingly, to be read with the appropriate modifications (so that, in particular, it is the claimant company (and not the surrendering company) which can bring an appeal under paragraph 75(7)).

8 A notice under paragraph 27 (notice to produce documents etc for purposes of an enquiry) given to the claimant company may require the claimant company—

a to explain why the EEA amount meets the conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(a) to (d) of section 403F of the Taxes Act 1988 and is not prevented from being surrendered by section 403G of that Act, and

b to provide details of the recalculation required under Part 2 of Schedule 18A to that Act in relation to the EEA amount.

9 Except where expressly indicated, requirements imposed under this paragraph are in addition to those imposed apart from this paragraph.

10 In this paragraph “the EEA amount” has the same meaning as in Part 2 of Schedule 18A to the Taxes Act 1988.

Part 3 Commencement¶

Commencement¶

1 The amendments made by this Schedule, other than those made by paragraphs 4(2) and 5, have effect—

a in relation to any accounting period of a claimant company beginning on or after 1st April 2006, and

a so much of the straddling period as falls before 1st April 2006, and

b so much of the straddling period as falls on or after that date,

are to be treated as separate accounting periods for the purposes of the amendments made by this Schedule other than those made by paragraphs 4(2) and 5.

Long funding leases of plant or machinery

Section 81

Part 1 Capital allowances¶

Introductory¶

1CAA 2001 is amended as follows.

Use for other qualifying activity of plant or machinery previously used for long funding leasing¶

2After section 13 (use for qualifying activity of plant or machinery provided for other purposes) insert—

13A Use for other purposes of plant or machinery previously used for long funding leasing

1 This section applies if a person who has been using plant or machinery for the purpose of leasing it under a long funding lease (see Chapter 6A)—

a ceases to use the plant or machinery for that purpose without ceasing to use it for the purposes of a qualifying activity carried on by him, and

b on the date of the cessation, owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred capital expenditure on its provision for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

2 The person is to be treated—

a as having incurred capital expenditure (“notional expenditure”) on the provision of the plant or machinery for the purposes of the qualifying activity on the day after the cessation,

b as owning the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred that expenditure, and

c as if the plant or machinery on and after that day were different plant or machinery from the plant or machinery before that day.

3 The amount of the notional expenditure is an amount equal to the termination amount, determined in accordance with section 70YG, in the case of the long funding lease under which the plant or machinery was last leased before the cessation.

Expenditure on plant or machinery for long funding leasing not to be qualifying expenditure¶

3After section 34 insert—

Lessee under long funding lease: capital allowances, disposal events and disposal values¶

6In Chapter 6 of Part 2 (hire-purchase etc and plant or machinery provided by lessee) after section 70 insert—

Lessees under long funding leases

70A Entitlement to capital allowances

1 This section applies if a person carrying on a qualifying activity incurs expenditure (whether or not of a capital nature) on the provision of plant or machinery for the purposes of the qualifying activity under a long funding lease.

2 In the application of this Part in the case of that person, the plant or machinery is to be treated as owned by him at any time when he is the lessee under the long funding lease.That is so whether or not the lease also falls to be regarded as a long funding lease in the application of this Part in the case of the lessor.

3 The person is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as having incurred capital expenditure on the provision of the plant or machinery as follows.

4 The capital expenditure is to be treated as incurred at the commencement of the term of the long funding lease.

5 The amount of the capital expenditure varies, according to whether the long funding lease is—

a a long funding operating lease (subsection (6)), or

b a long funding finance lease (subsection (7)).

6 If the long funding lease is a long funding operating lease, the amount of the capital expenditure is to be found in accordance with section 70B.

7 If the long funding lease is a long funding finance lease, the amount of the capital expenditure is to be found in accordance with section 70C.

8 See Chapter 6A for interpretation of this section.

70B Long funding operating lease: amount of capital expenditure

1 This section applies by virtue of section 70A(6).

2 If the long funding lease is a long funding operating lease, the amount of the capital expenditure is the market value of the plant or machinery at the later of—

a the commencement of the term of the lease;

b the date on which the plant or machinery is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

3 This section is to be construed as one with section 70A.

70C Long funding finance lease: amount of capital expenditure

1 This section has effect by virtue of section 70A(7) for the purpose of determining the amount of the capital expenditure in the case of a long funding finance lease.

2 If the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan, this section applies as if the lease were one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, fell to be treated as a finance lease.

3 The amount of the capital expenditure is the total of—

a commencement PVMLP (see subsection (4)), and

b if subsection (6) applies, the unrelievable pre-commencement rentals (“UPR”),

but subject, in a case falling within subsection (7), to the restriction imposed by subsection (8).

4 Commencement PVMLP is the amount that would fall to be recognised as the present value, at the appropriate date, of the minimum lease payments (see section 70YE) if appropriate accounts were prepared by the person.

5 For the purposes of subsection (4)—

“appropriate accounts” are accounts prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice on the date on which that amount is first recognised in the books or other financial records of the person;
“the appropriate date” is the later of—
1. the commencement of the term of the lease;
2. the date on which the plant or machinery is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

6 This subsection applies if—

a the person has paid rentals under the lease before the commencement of the term of the lease, and

b in the case of some or all of those rentals, relief otherwise than by virtue of this subsection—

i is not available, and

ii if the case is one where the plant or machinery was not used for the purposes of a qualifying activity in the period before the commencement of the term of the lease, would not have been available had the plant or machinery been used in that period for the purposes of a qualifying activity,

and in any such case UPR is the amount of the rentals for which relief is not, and (in a case falling within paragraph (b)(ii)) would not have been, so available.

7 Subsection (8) applies if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of entering into—

a the lease,

b a series of transactions of which the lease is one, or

c any of the transactions in such a series,

is to obtain allowances under this Part in respect of an amount of capital expenditure that materially exceeds the market value of the leased asset at the commencement of the term of the lease.

8 In any such case, the amount of the capital expenditure described in subsection (3) is to be restricted to an amount equal to the market value of the asset at the commencement of the term of the lease.

9 In this section “relief” means relief by way of—

a an allowance under this Act,

b a deduction in computing profits for the purposes of income tax or corporation tax,

c a deduction from total profits or total income for the purposes of either of those taxes.

10 This section is to be construed as one with section 70A.

70D Long funding finance lease: additional expenditure: allowances for lessee

1 This section applies where the following conditions are met—

a a person is the lessee of plant or machinery under a long funding finance lease,

b as a result of section 70A, the person falls to be regarded as having incurred qualifying expenditure on the provision of the plant or machinery, and

c the lessor incurs expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery,

d as a result of the lessor incurring the expenditure, there is in the case of the lessee an increase (the “relevant increase”) in the present value of the minimum lease payments.

3 The person is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as having incurred further capital expenditure on the provision of the plant or machinery as follows.

4 The person is to be treated as having incurred the expenditure on the date of first recognition.

5 The amount of the expenditure is the amount that would fall to be recognised as the amount of the relevant increase if appropriate accounts were prepared by the person.

6 For that purpose, “appropriate accounts” are accounts prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice on the date of first recognition.

7 For the purposes of this section, the “date of first recognition” is the date on which the relevant increase is first recognised in the books or other financial records of the person.

8 This section is to be construed as one with section 70A.

70E Disposal events and disposal values

1 This section applies where—

a a person is the lessee of plant or machinery under a long funding lease,

b as a result of section 70A, the person falls to be regarded as having incurred qualifying expenditure on the provision of the plant or machinery, and

c the lease terminates.

2 In the case of that person—

a the termination of the lease is a disposal event, and

b the person is required to bring into account a disposal value for the chargeable period in which that disposal event occurs.

3 The amount of the disposal value varies according to whether the lease is—

a a long funding operating lease (see subsections (4) to (6)), or

b a long funding finance lease (see subsections (7) and (8)).

4 If the lease is a long funding operating lease, the disposal value is the sum of—

a element A (see subsection (5)), and

b element B (see subsection (6)).

5 Element A is the amount (if any) by which—

a the market value of the plant or machinery at the later of—

i the commencement of the term of the lease,

ii the date on which the plant or machinery is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity,

exceeds

b the aggregate amount of the reductions that fell to be made under section 502K of ICTA or 148I of ITTOIA 2005 for periods of account in which the person was the lessee.

6 Element B is the sum of any amounts payable to the person which are calculated by reference to the termination value.

7 If, in the case of the person, the lease is a long funding finance lease, the amount of the disposal value is found by first finding the sum of—

a any amounts payable to the person which are calculated by reference to the termination value, and

b if the lease terminates before the end of the term, the amount that would fall to be recognised as the present value, immediately before the termination, of the balance of the minimum lease payments (see subsection (8)) if appropriate accounts were prepared by the person,

and then reducing that sum (but not below nil) by subtracting from it any amount payable by the person to the lessor for or in consequence of the termination.

8 For the purposes of subsection (7)(b)—

a the balance of the minimum lease payments is the amount by which MLP exceeds TMLP, where—

MLP is the amount of the minimum lease payments, and
TMLP is the amount that would have been the minimum lease payments if the term of the lease had been such as to expire on the day of the termination, and

b “appropriate accounts” are accounts prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice immediately before the termination of the lease.

9 If the termination of the lease gives rise to a disposal event in the case of the person apart from this section, that disposal event is to be ignored.

10 This section is to be construed as one with section 70A.

Interpretation of provisions relating to long funding leases¶

7In Part 2, after Chapter 6 insert—

Chapter 6A Interpretation of provisions about long funding leases

Introductory

70F Introductory

This Chapter makes provision for the interpretation of this Part so far as relating to long funding leases.

Meaning of “long funding lease” etc

70G “Long funding lease”

1 A “long funding lease” is a funding lease (see section 70J) which meets the following conditions—

a it is not a short lease (see section 70I),

b it is not an excluded lease of background plant or machinery for a building (see section 70R),

c it not excluded by section 70U (plant or machinery leased with land: low percentage value).

2 Where, at the commencement of the term of a plant or machinery lease, the plant or machinery—

a is not being used for the purposes of a qualifying activity carried on by the person concerned, but

b subsequently begins to be used for the purposes of a qualifying activity carried on by that person,

the plant or machinery lease is a long funding lease if the condition in subsection (3) is met.

3 The condition is that (apart from section 70H) the plant or machinery lease would have been a long funding lease at its inception had the plant or machinery been used at that time for the purposes of a qualifying activity carried on by the person concerned.

4 This section is subject, in the case of the lessee, to—

a section 70H (requirement for tax return treating lease as long funding lease);

b section 70Q (leases excluded by right of lessor etc to claim capital allowances).

5 See also paragraph 91A of Schedule 22 to the Finance Act 2000 (tonnage tax: certain leases to be treated as not being long funding leases).

70H Lessee: requirement for tax return treating lease as long funding lease

1 A lease is not a long funding lease in the case of the lessee unless he makes a tax return for the initial period on the basis that he falls to be taxed in respect of the lease in accordance with the provisions of—

a Chapter 5A of Part 12 of ICTA (long funding leases: corporation tax), or

b Chapter 10A of Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005 (long funding leases: income tax).

2 Where, in the case of a lease, a person has made a tax return for the initial period—

a on the basis that he falls to be taxed in respect of the lease in accordance with those provisions, or

b on the basis that he does not fall to be so taxed,

he may not make a claim for relief under the error or mistake provisions in respect of the tax return having been made on that basis.

3 In this section—

“the error or mistake provisions” means—
1. section 33 of the Taxes Management Act 1970; or
2. paragraph 51 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998;
“the initial period” is the first accounting period or, as the case may be, tax year in which there is a difference in the amount of the profits or losses falling to be shown in the return, according to whether the lease is a long funding lease or not;
“tax return” means—
1. a company tax return under paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998, or
2. a return under section 8 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (income tax: personal return).

70I “Short lease”

1 Construe “short lease” in accordance with this section.

2 A lease whose term is 5 years or less is a short lease.

3 Where the term of a lease is—

a longer than 5 years, but

b not longer than 7 years,

the lease is a short lease if Conditions A, B and C are met.

4 Condition A is that the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a finance lease.

5 Condition B is that—

a the residual value of the plant or machinery which is implied in the terms of the lease,

is not more than

b 5% of the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease, as estimated at the inception of the lease.

6 Condition C is that under the terms of the lease—

a the total rentals falling due in the first reference year, if less than the total rentals falling due in the second reference year, are no more than 10% less than those rentals, and

b the total rentals falling due in the final year or in any reference year after the second reference year, if greater than the total rentals falling due in the second reference year, are no more than 10% greater than those rentals.

7 For the purposes of Condition C—

a the first reference year is the period of 12 months beginning with the day next after the commencement of the term of the lease;

b the other reference years are successive periods of 12 months each beginning on an anniversary of that day and ending before the last day of the term of the lease;

c the final year is the period of 12 months ending with the last day of the term of the lease;

d any part of the final year, other than the last day, may accordingly also be part of a reference year.

8 In determining whether Condition C is met, exclude any variation in the rentals that results from changes in a standard published base rate for interest.

9 Where—

a a person leases an asset to another (“S”) under a lease that would, apart from this subsection, be a short lease,

b the inception of that lease is on or after 7th April 2006,

c at or about the time of the inception of that lease, arrangements are entered into for the asset to be leased to one or more other persons under one or more other leases, and

d in the aggregate, the term of the lease to S and the terms of the leases to such of those other persons as are connected with S exceed 5 years,

the lease to S is not a short lease.

70J “Funding lease”

1 A “funding lease” is a plant or machinery lease (see section 70K) which at its inception meets one or more of the following tests—

a the finance lease test (see section 70N),

b the lease payments test (see section 70O),

c the useful economic life test (see section 70P).

2 Subsection (1) is subject to the following provisions of this section.

3 A plant or machinery lease is not a funding lease if—

a section 67 applies (plant or machinery treated as owned by person entitled to benefit of contract, etc), and

b the lease is the contract mentioned in that section.

4 A plant or machinery lease is not a funding lease if—

a before the commencement of the term of the lease, the lessor has leased the plant or machinery under one or more other plant or machinery leases,

b in the aggregate, the terms of those other leases exceed 65% of the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the earliest of them, and

c none of those earlier leases was a funding lease.

5 For the purposes of subsection (4), all persons who were lessors of the plant or machinery before 1st April 2006 are to be treated as if they were the same person as the first lessor of the plant or machinery on or after that date.

6 A plant or machinery lease is not a funding lease in the case of the lessor if—

a before 1st April 2006, the plant or machinery had, for a period or periods totalling at least 10 years, been the subject of one or more leases, and

b the lessor under the plant or machinery lease was also lessor of the plant or machinery on the last day before 1st April 2006 on which the plant or machinery was the subject of a lease.

Meaning of “plant or machinery lease”

70K “Plant or machinery lease”

1 A “plant or machinery lease” is any of the following—

a any agreement or arrangement to which subsection (2) applies,

b any other agreement or arrangement, to the extent that subsection (3) applies to it,

c where plant or machinery is the subject of a sale and finance leaseback, as defined in section 221, the finance lease mentioned in subsection (1)(c) of that section,

and “lease”, “lessor”, “lessee” and other related expressions are to be construed accordingly.

2 This subsection applies to an agreement or arrangement—

a under which a person grants to another person the right to use plant or machinery for a period, and

b which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a lease.

3 This subsection applies to an agreement or arrangement to the extent that—

a in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, it falls (or would fall) to be treated as a lease, and

b it meets the conditions in subsection (4).

4 The conditions are that, for the purposes of generally accepted accounting practice,—

a the agreement or arrangement conveys, or falls (or would fall) to be regarded as conveying, the right to use an asset, and

b the asset is plant or machinery.

5 In the case of an agreement or arrangement that falls (or would fall) within subsection (2) or (3) immediately after the commencement of the term of the lease, the condition in subsection (2)(b) or (3)(a) (as the case may be) is to be taken to be met as respects any time in the pre-commencement period.

6 For the purposes of subsection (5), the “pre-commencement period” is the period that—

a begins with the inception of the lease, and

b ends with the commencement of the term of the lease.

70L Plant or machinery leased with other assets: separate derived leases

1 This section applies in any case where an agreement or arrangement (the “mixed lease”) at any time relates, or is to relate, or has come to relate, to both—

a plant or machinery of any particular description (the “relevant plant or machinery”), and

b other assets (whether or not also plant or machinery).

2 A mixed lease is an “eligible mixed lease” if—

a under generally accepted accounting practice, it falls (or would fall) to be treated as a lease, or

b the relevant plant or machinery is the subject of a sale and finance leaseback, as defined in section 221, and the mixed lease is or includes the finance lease mentioned in subsection (1)(c) of that section.

3 In the case of an agreement or arrangement that falls (or would fall) within paragraph (a) of subsection (2) immediately after the commencement of the term of the lease, the condition in that paragraph is to be taken to be met as respects any time in the pre-commencement period.

4 For the purposes of subsection (3), the “pre-commencement period” is the period that—

a begins with the inception of the lease, and

b ends with the commencement of the term of the lease.

5 Where this section applies—

a the eligible mixed lease, so far as relating to the relevant plant or machinery, and

b the eligible mixed lease, so far as relating to other assets,

shall be treated for the purposes of this Part (other than this section) as if they were separate agreements or arrangements.

6 Any such notional separate agreement or arrangement is referred to in this Part as a “derived lease”.

7 Section 70M makes further provision with respect to derived leases of plant or machinery.

70M Derived leases of plant or machinery: term and rentals

1 This section has effect in any case where, as a result of applying section 70L, there is a derived lease of the relevant plant or machinery.

2 This section makes provision with respect to—

a determining whether the derived lease is a plant or machinery lease (see subsection (3)),

b the term of the derived lease (see subsection (4)),

c the rentals to be regarded as payable under the derived lease (see subsections (5) to (7)).

3 Any question whether the derived lease—

a is a plant or machinery lease, or

b if it is such a lease, whether it is also a long funding lease,

is to be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Part.

4 The term of the derived lease—

a is limited to the remaining useful economic life of the relevant plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the derived lease, but

b subject to that, is to be determined in accordance with section 70YF (the “term” of a lease).

5 The rentals that are to be regarded as payable under the derived lease shall be such rentals (the “deemed rentals”) as are just and reasonable in all the circumstances of the case.

6 It shall be assumed that rentals under the derived lease are payable in equal instalments throughout the term of the lease, unless it is reasonable to draw a different conclusion from all the circumstances of the case.

7 In determining the amount of any deemed rentals, regard shall be had to—

a all the provisions of the eligible mixed lease,

b the nature of the relevant plant or machinery,

c the value of the relevant plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the derived lease,

d the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the derived lease, is expected to be the market value of the relevant plant or machinery at the end of the term of the derived lease,

e the remaining useful economic life of the relevant plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the derived lease;

f the term of the derived lease.

8 Expressions used in section 70L have the same meaning in this section.

The tests for being a funding lease

70N The finance lease test

1 A lease meets the finance lease test in the case of any person if the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a finance lease or a loan in the accounts—

a of that person, or

b where that person is the lessor, of any person connected with him.

2 In this section “accounts”, in relation to a company, includes any accounts which—

a relate to two or more companies of which that company is one, and

b are drawn up in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.

3 Where for any period—

a a person is not within the charge to income tax or corporation tax by reason of not being resident in the United Kingdom, and

b accounts are not prepared in accordance with international accounting standards or UK generally accepted accounting practice,

any question relating to generally accepted accounting practice is to be determined for the purposes of this section by reference to generally accepted accounting practice with respect to accounts prepared in accordance with international accounting standards.

70O The lease payments test

1 A lease meets the lease payments test if—

a the present value of the minimum lease payments (see section 70YE),

is equal to

b 80% or more of the fair value of the leased plant or machinery.

2 The present value of the minimum lease payments is to be calculated by using the interest rate implicit in the lease.

3 In this section “fair value” means—

a the market value of the leased plant or machinery,

less

b any grants receivable towards the purchase or use of that plant or machinery.

4 For the purposes of this section—

a 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), but

b if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined in accordance with paragraph (a), it is the temporal discount rate for the purposes of section 70 of the Finance Act 2005 (companies: film relief: valuation of “rights to guaranteed income” and “disposed rights”).

70P The useful economic life test

A lease meets the useful economic life test if the term of the lease is more than 65% of the remaining useful economic life of the leased plant or machinery.

Leases excluded by right of lessor etc to claim capital allowances

70Q Leases excluded by right of lessor etc to claim capital allowances

1 A lease is not a long funding lease in the case of the lessee if it is excluded by virtue of subsection (2) (but see also subsection (5)).

2 A lease is excluded if the lessor, or any superior lessor (see subsections (7) to (9)),—

a is entitled, at the commencement of the term of the lease, to claim a relevant allowance (see subsection (6)),

b would have been so entitled at that time, but for section 70V (tax avoidance involving international leasing),

c has at any earlier time been entitled to claim such an allowance, but has not been required to bring a disposal value into account in accordance with section 61(1)(ee), or

d would fall within any one or more of paragraphs (a) to (c), if he had been within the charge to income tax or corporation tax at the inception of the lease and any earlier times.

3 Where for any period the lessor, or any superior lessor, is a person—

a who is not within the charge to income tax or corporation tax by reason of not being resident in the United Kingdom, and

b who does not prepare accounts in accordance with international accounting standards or UK generally accepted accounting practice,

subsection (4) applies.

4 In determining whether the condition in subsection (2)(d) is met in any such case, any question relating to generally accepted accounting practice in relation to that person and that period is to be determined by reference to generally accepted accounting practice with respect to accounts prepared in accordance with international accounting standards.

5 A lease is not excluded by virtue of subsection (2) if—

a the inception of the lease is before 28th June 2006, and

b by virtue only of section 70J(6), the lease is not a funding lease in the case of the lessor.

6 A “relevant allowance” is an allowance under this Act in respect of the leased plant or machinery.

7 There is a “superior lessor” only if the leased plant or machinery is the subject of a chain of superior leases.

8 Leased plant or machinery is the subject of a chain of superior leases if—

a the lessor has his interest in relation to the plant or machinery under or by virtue of a lease from a third person (P), or

b the circumstances are as in paragraph (a), but P has his interest in relation to the plant or machinery under or by virtue of a lease from a fourth person (Q), or

c the circumstances are as in paragraph (b), but Q has his interest in relation to the plant or machinery under or by virtue of a lease from a fifth person (R),

and so on, where there is more than a fifth person involved.

9 Where any leased plant or machinery is the subject of a chain of superior leases, the superior lessors are the persons described in subsection (8) as P, Q, R, and so on.

10 Subsections (6) to (9) have effect for the interpretation of this section.

Excluded leases of background plant or machinery for a building

70R Excluded leases of background plant or machinery for a building

1 Construe references to an excluded lease of background plant or machinery for a building in accordance with this section.

2 This section applies where—

a plant or machinery is affixed to, or otherwise installed in or on, any land which consists of or includes a building,

b the plant or machinery is background plant or machinery for the building (see subsections (4) and (5)),

c the plant or machinery is leased with the land under a mixed lease, and

d none of the disqualifications set out in section 70S applies.

3 In any such case, the derived lease of the plant or machinery is an excluded lease of background plant or machinery for a building.

4 The background plant or machinery for a building is any plant or machinery—

a which is of such a description that plant or machinery of that description might reasonably be expected to be installed in, or in or on the sites of, a variety of buildings of different descriptions, and

b whose sole or main purpose is to contribute to the functionality of the building or its site as an environment within which activities can be carried on.

5 Subsection (4) has effect subject to the provisions of any order under section 70T.

70S The disqualifications

1 This section sets out the disqualifications mentioned in subsection (2)(d) of section 70R and is to be construed as one with that section.

2 Disqualification A is that the amounts payable—

a under the mixed lease, or

b under any other arrangement,

vary, or may be varied, by reference to the value from time to time to the lessor of allowances under this Act in respect of expenditure incurred by him in the provision of the background plant or machinery for the building.

3 Disqualification B is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of entering into—

a the mixed lease,

b a series of transactions of which the mixed lease is one, or

c any of the transactions in such a series,

is to secure that allowances under this Act are available to the lessor in respect of expenditure incurred in the provision of background plant or machinery for a building.

70T Orders relating to background plant or machinery for a building

1 This section supplements section 70R and is to be construed as one with it.

2 The Treasury may by order prescribe—

a descriptions of plant or machinery to be used as examples of the kinds of plant or machinery that may be regarded as falling within the definition of background plant or machinery for a building in determining whether any particular plant or machinery does or does not fall within that definition;

b descriptions of plant or machinery to be deemed to be background plant or machinery for a building;

c descriptions of plant or machinery to be deemed not to be background plant or machinery for a building.

3 An order under this section—

a may make different provision for different cases (including different descriptions of building),

b may contain incidental, consequential, supplemental, or transitional provision or savings.

4 The first order made under this section may include provisions having effect in relation to times before the making of the order (but not times earlier than 1st April 2006).

Exclusion for certain plant or machinery leased with land

70U Plant or machinery leased with land: low percentage value

1 This section applies where—

a any plant or machinery (the “relevant plant or machinery”) is affixed to, or otherwise installed, in or on any land,

b the plant or machinery is not background plant or machinery for any building situated in or on the land,

c the plant or machinery is leased with the land under a mixed lease, and

d none of the relevant disqualifications applies.

2 For the purposes of this section the “relevant disqualifications” are the disqualifications set out in section 70S, but for this purpose—

a take the reference in subsection (1) of that section to subsection (2)(d) of section 70R as a reference to this subsection (and, accordingly, construe the second reference to that section as a reference to this section), and

b take references in section 70S to background plant or machinery for a building as references to relevant plant or machinery.

3 Where this section applies, the derived lease of the relevant plant or machinery is excluded by this section if the condition in subsection (4) is met at the commencement of the term of that lease.

4 The condition is that AMV does not exceed both—

a 10% of BMV; and

b 5% of LMV.

5 For that purpose—

AMV is the aggregate of—
1. the market value of the relevant plant or machinery, and
2. the market value of any other plant or machinery that falls within subsection (1) in the case of the leased land;
BMV is the aggregate market value of all the background plant or machinery leased with the land;
LMV is the market value of the land (including buildings and fixtures).

6 For this purpose the market value of any land at any time is to be determined on the assumption of a sale by an absolute owner of the land free from all leases and other encumbrances.

Avoidance

70V Tax avoidance involving international leasing

1 This section applies where matters are so arranged that there are plant or machinery leases such that—

a under a lease by a non-resident, an asset is provided directly or indirectly to a resident,

b the direct provision of the asset to the resident is by a lease which, in the case of the resident, is a long funding lease or a lease to which section 67 (hire purchase etc) applies,

c the asset is used by the resident for the purpose of leasing it under a lease (the “relevant lease”) that would not (apart from this section) be a long funding lease in the case of the resident, and

d under the relevant lease, the asset is provided directly or indirectly (but by a lease) to a non-resident.

2 Subsection (3) applies if the sole or main purpose of arranging matters in that way is to obtain a tax advantage by securing that allowances under this Part are available to a resident by virtue of—

a section 67 (hire purchase), or

b section 70A (long funding leases).

3 In any such case, the relevant lease is deemed to be a long funding lease in the case of the resident who is the lessor under it.

4 The reference in this section to a person obtaining a tax advantage (see section 577(4)) also includes a reference to a person obtaining a tax advantage within the meaning of Chapter 1 of Part 17 of ICTA (see section 709 of that Act).

5 In this section—

“non-resident” means a person who—
1. is not resident in the United Kingdom, and
2. does not use the plant or machinery exclusively for earning profits chargeable to tax;
“resident” means a person who—
1. is resident in the United Kingdom, or
2. uses the plant or machinery exclusively for earning profits chargeable to tax.

b during the term of the lease, the old lessor transfers the plant or machinery to another person (the “new lessor”),

c the transfer is not the grant of a plant or machinery lease by the old lessor,

d immediately after the transfer, the new lessor is the lessor of the plant or machinery under a lease (“the new lease”) (whether or not the same lease as the old lease).

2 If it is not otherwise the case,—

a the old lessor is to be treated as if the old lease terminated immediately before the transfer, and

b the new lessor is to be treated as if the new lease had been entered into immediately after the transfer.

a the inception of the new lease, and

b the commencement of the term of the new lease,

if it is not otherwise the case.

4 If, immediately before the transfer, the old lease was (or was treated by virtue of this subsection as being) in the case of the old lessor a lease of either of the following descriptions—

70X Transfers, assignments etc by lessee

1 This section applies in any case where the following conditions are met—

a a person (the “old lessee”) is lessee of plant or machinery under a plant or machinery lease (the “old lease”),

b during the term of the lease, the old lessee transfers the plant or machinery to another person (the “new lessee”),

c the transfer is not the grant of a plant or machinery lease by the old lessee,

d immediately after the transfer, the new lessee is the lessee of the plant or machinery under a lease (“the new lease”) (whether or not the same lease as the old lease).

2 If it is not otherwise the case,—

a the old lessee is to be treated as if the old lease terminated immediately before the transfer, and

b the new lessee is to be treated as if the new lease had been entered into immediately after the transfer.

3 The new lessee is also to be treated as if the date of the transfer were the date of both—

a the inception of the new lease, and

b the commencement of the term of the new lease,

if it is not otherwise the case.

4 If, immediately before the transfer, the old lease was (or was treated by virtue of this subsection as being) in the case of the old lessee a lease of one of the following descriptions—

a a long funding lease, or

b a lease which is not a long funding lease,

the new lease is to be treated in the case of the new lessee as being a lease of the same description, if the conditions in subsection (5) are met.

5 The conditions are that—

a the term of the new lease is the unexpired portion of the term of the old lease, and

b the amounts payable under the new lease are the same as would have been payable under the old lease, assuming it to have continued in effect.

6 If—

a it is not otherwise the case, and

b the conditions in subsection (5) are met,

the lessor is to be treated as if the old lease and the new lease were the same continuing lease.

7 Any reference in this section to a transfer of plant or machinery by a person includes a reference to—

a any kind of disposal of, or of the person's interest in, the plant or machinery,

b any arrangements under which the person's interest in the plant or machinery is terminated and another person becomes lessee of the plant or machinery,

c in a case where the plant or machinery is a fixture and the person is treated under section 176 as the owner, any cessation of ownership under section 188, 190, 191, 192 or 192A.

70Y Sale and leaseback, lease and leaseback etc: lessors

1 Where—

a a person (B) transfers plant or machinery to another person (A),

b the plant or machinery is directly or indirectly leased back to B, and

c immediately before the commencement of the term of the lease back to B, B is the lessor of the plant or machinery to another person under a lease which is, in B's case, a long funding lease,

the lease back to B is, in the case of both A and B, a long funding lease.

2 If, in any such case, the plant or machinery is leased back from A to B indirectly, any leases by means of which the indirect lease back from A to B is effected are also long funding leases in the case of each of the parties to them.

3 Any reference in this section to a transfer of plant or machinery by a person includes a reference to—

a any kind of disposal of, or of the person's interest in, the plant or machinery (including the grant of a lease),

b any arrangements under which the person's interest in the plant or machinery is terminated and another person becomes entitled to, or to an interest in, the plant or machinery,

c in a case where the plant or machinery is a fixture and the person is treated under section 176 as the owner, any cessation of ownership under section 188, 190, 191, 192 or 192A.

70YA Change in accountancy classification of long funding lease

1 This section applies in any case where—

a a person is lessor or lessee under a long funding lease, and

b at any time after the inception of the lease, the accountancy classification of the lease as a finance lease or an operating lease changes in the relevant accounts.

2 The person is to be treated as if—

a the lease had terminated immediately before the time of the change,

b another lease (the “new lease”) had been entered into immediately after the time of the change, and

c the new lease were a long funding lease in the case of the lessor.

3 The person is also to be treated as if the date on which the change occurs were the date of both—

a the inception of the new lease, and

b the commencement of the term of the new lease.

4 The cases where the accountancy classification of a long funding lease as a finance lease or an operating lease changes at any time (the “relevant time”) in the relevant accounts are those set out in subsections (5) and (6).

5 Case 1 is where—

a immediately before the relevant time, the lease is one that falls (or would fall) to be treated in the relevant accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice as a finance lease for accounting purposes, and

b at the relevant time the lease becomes one that falls (or would fall) to be treated in the relevant accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice as not being a finance lease for accounting purposes.

6 Case 2 is where—

b at the relevant time the lease becomes one that falls (or would fall) to be treated in the relevant accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice as a finance lease for accounting purposes.

7 The Treasury may by regulations make provision for or in connection with restricting the application or operation of this section.

8 In this section, any reference to a finance lease includes a reference to a loan.

9 In the application of this section in relation to any person, the “relevant accounts” are the accounts—

a of that person, or

b where that person is the lessor, of any person connected with that person,

but only to the extent that the treatment of the lease in those accounts as a finance lease or otherwise falls (or would fall) to be determined by reference to that person as the lessor or lessee under the lease.

10 Subsections (2) and (3) of section 70N (finance lease test: group accounts, and generally accepted accounting practice for persons outside the charge to tax) also apply for the purposes of this section.

70YB Long funding operating lease: extension of term of lease

1 This section applies in any case where—

a a person is lessor or lessee under a long funding operating lease (the “existing lease”),

b an event occurs which has the effect of extending the term of the lease (whether by variation of the provisions of the lease, the grant or exercise of an option or in any other way), and

c the event is not one by reason of which, within the meaning of section 70YA, the accountancy classification of the lease as an operating lease changes in the relevant accounts.

2 For this purpose an event has the effect of extending the term of the lease if it meets any of the following conditions—

a it has the effect of making a further period a non-cancellable period;

b it is the grant of an option to the lessee to continue to lease the plant or machinery for a further period, where it is reasonably certain at the time the option is granted that the lessee will exercise it;

c it is the exercise by the lessee of an option to continue to lease the plant or machinery for a further period;

d it does not fall within the preceding paragraphs, but it has the effect that the lessee will continue, or is reasonably certain to continue, to lease the plant or machinery for a further period.

For this purpose “further period” means a period falling wholly or partly after the end of the pre-existing term.

3 The person is to be treated as if—

a the existing lease terminated at the end of the day before the effective date,

b another lease (the “new lease”) were entered into on the effective date, and

c the term of the new lease were the unexpired portion of the term of the existing lease, as extended.

4 The person is also to be treated as if the effective date were the date of both—

a the inception of the new lease, and

b the commencement of the term of the new lease.

5 The new lease is to be taken to be a long funding operating lease.

6 For the purposes of this section the “effective date” is the earlier of—

a the day after the end of the pre-existing term of the existing lease;

b if the rentals payable are varied as a result of or otherwise in connection with the event, the date on which the variation takes effect.

7 In this section—

“non-cancellable period” has the same meaning as in section 70YF (the “term” of a lease);
“pre-existing term”, in relation to a lease, means the term of the lease apart from the extension in question.

70YC Extension of term of lease that is not a long funding lease

1 This section applies where—

a a person is lessor under a plant or machinery lease (the “existing lease”) that is not a long funding lease, and

b an event occurs which has the effect of extending the term of the lease (whether by variation of the provisions of the lease, the grant or exercise of an option or in any other way).

2 Subsection (2) of section 70YB (events having the effect of extending the term of a lease) also has effect for the purposes of this section.

3 Make the following assumptions—

a the existing lease terminates immediately before the effective date,

b another lease (the “new lease”) is entered into on the effective date,

c the term of the new lease is the portion of the term of the existing lease, as extended, that remains unexpired as at the effective date;

d the effective date is the date of both—

i the inception of the new lease, and

ii the commencement of the term of the new lease.

4 If, on those assumptions, the new lease would be a long funding lease, the person is to be treated on those assumptions.

5 If subsection (4) does not apply, then, for the purposes of any subsequent application of this section or section 70YD in the case of the existing lease, the term of the existing lease is to be taken to be the term as extended (or further extended).

6 For the purposes of this section the “effective date” is the earlier of—

a the day after the end of the pre-existing term of the existing lease;

b if the rentals payable are varied as a result of or otherwise in connection with the event, the date on which the variation takes effect.

7 In this section “pre-existing term”, in relation to a lease, means the term of the lease apart from the extension in question.

70YD Increase in proportion of residual amount guaranteed: review of status

1 This section applies where—

a a person is lessor under a lease (the “existing lease”) that is not a long funding lease,

b the person enters into an arrangement which meets, or arrangements which (taken together) meet, the conditions in subsection (2).

2 The conditions are that—

a as a result of the arrangement or arrangements, there is an increase, after the inception of the lease, in the proportion of the residual amount that is guaranteed as mentioned in section 70YE(1)(b), and

b had the arrangement or arrangements been entered into before the inception of the lease, the lease would have been a long funding lease.

3 The person is to be treated as if—

a the existing lease had terminated immediately before the time of the relevant transaction,

b another lease (the “new lease”) had been entered into immediately after the time of the relevant transaction,

c the term of the new lease were the portion of the term of the existing lease that remains unexpired as at the date of the relevant transaction;

d the date of the relevant transaction were the date of both—

i the inception of the new lease, and

ii the commencement of the term of the new lease.

4 For the purposes of this section, the “relevant transaction” is the arrangement or, where two or more arrangements have been entered into, the latest of them.

5 The Treasury may by regulations make provision for or in connection with restricting the application or operation of this section.

Interpretation

70YE “Minimum lease payments”

1 In the case of any lease, the minimum lease payments are the minimum payments under the lease over the term of the lease (including any initial payment) together with—

a in the case of the lessee, so much of any residual amount as is guaranteed by him or a person connected with him, or

b in the case of the lessor, so much of any residual amount as is guaranteed by the lessee or a person who is not connected with the lessor.

2 In determining the minimum payments, exclude so much of any payment as represents—

a charges for services, or

b qualifying UK or foreign tax to be paid by the lessor.

3 In this section—

“qualifying UK or foreign tax” means any tax or duty chargeable under the law of any part of the United Kingdom, or under the law of any foreign country, other than—
1. income tax,
2. corporation tax,
3. any tax chargeable under the law of a foreign country which is similar to income tax or corporation tax,
and here “foreign country” means any territory outside the United Kingdom;
“residual amount” means so much of the fair value of the plant or machinery subject to the lease as cannot reasonably be expected to be recovered by the lessor from the payments under the lease.

4 In the definition of “residual amount” in subsection (3), “fair value” means—

a the market value of the leased plant or machinery,

less

b any grants receivable towards the purchase or use of that plant or machinery.

70YF The “term” of a lease

1 The term of a lease is the period comprising—

a so much of the post-commencement period as is a non-cancellable period, and

b any subsequent periods which meet the conditions in subsection (2).

2 The conditions are that—

a the lessee has an option to continue to lease the asset for the period (whether with or without further payment), and

b it is reasonably certain, at the inception of the lease, that the lessee will exercise that option.

3 The “post-commencement period” is so much of the period of the lease as begins with the commencement of the term of the lease.

4 A “non-cancellable period” is any period during which the lessee may terminate the lease only—

a upon the occurrence of some remote contingency, or

b upon payment by the lessee of such an additional amount that, at the inception of the lease, continuation of the lease is reasonably certain.

5 If, at the commencement of the term of the lease,—

a the market value of the asset exceeds £1 million, and

b the estimated market value of the asset 5 years after the commencement of the term of the lease is more than half of the market value of the asset at the commencement of the term of the lease,

subsection (6) applies.

6 If, in any such case, the term of the lease (apart from this subsection) would be 5 years or less, but—

a the lessee has one or more options to continue to lease the asset,

b on the assumption that it is reasonably certain, at the inception of the lease, that the lessee will exercise those options, the term of the lease would exceed 7 years, and

c on failing to exercise any one of those options, the lessee may be required to make a payment to the lessor,

it is to be assumed for the purposes of this section that any option to continue to lease the asset will be exercised, unless it is reasonably certain, at the inception of the lease, that the option will not be exercised.

7 Subsection (6) does not apply if, leaving out of account any options that would, by virtue of that subsection, result in the term of the lease exceeding 7 years, Conditions A, B and C in section 70I (meaning of “short lease”) are met.

8 See also section 70YC(5) (extension, for certain purposes, of term of lease that is not a long funding lease).

70YG “Termination amount”

1 This section applies where plant or machinery is or has been, or is to be, leased under a long funding lease.

2 Construe “termination amount”, in the case of a long funding lease, in accordance with the following provisions of this section.

3 If—

a the lease terminates as a result of a plant or machinery disposal event, or

b a plant or machinery disposal event occurs as a result of, or otherwise in connection with, the termination of the lease,

the termination amount is the disposal value that would have fallen to be brought into account by the lessor by reason of the plant or machinery disposal event on the assumptions in subsection (4).

4 Those assumptions are—

a that section 34A (which prevents the lessor's expenditure for long funding leasing from being qualifying expenditure) did not apply in the case of the lessor, and

b that the lessor had claimed all the capital allowances that would in consequence have been available to him.

5 If—

a subsection (3) does not apply, and

b the lease is a long funding finance lease,

the termination amount is the value at which, immediately after the termination of the lease, the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other financial records of the lessor.

6 If—

a subsection (3) does not apply, and

b the lease is a long funding operating lease,

the termination amount is the market value of the plant or machinery immediately after the termination of the lease.

7 For the purposes of this section a “plant or machinery disposal event” is an event that would have been a disposal event in relation to the plant or machinery in the case of the lessor on the assumptions in subsection (4).

70YH “Termination value”

1 This section applies where plant or machinery is or has been, or is to be, leased under a long funding lease.

2 Construe “termination value” in accordance with the following provisions of this section.

3 The general rule is that the termination value of any plant or machinery is the value of the plant or machinery at or about the time when the lease terminates.

4 Any reference to calculation by reference to the termination value includes a reference to calculation by reference to any one or more of—

a the proceeds of sale, if the plant or machinery is sold after the lease comes to an end,

b any insurance proceeds, compensation or similar sums in respect of the plant or machinery,

c an estimate of the market value of the plant or machinery.

5 Any reference to calculation by reference to the termination value also includes a reference to—

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.

Special rules for long funding leases¶

13In Part 2 (trading income) after Chapter 10 insert the following Chapter—

Chapter 10A Leases of plant or machinery: special rules for long funding leases

Lessors under long funding finance leases

148A Lessor under long funding finance lease: rental earnings

1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade for a period of account in which he is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding finance lease.

2 The amount to be brought into account as the lessor's taxable income from the lease for the period of account is the amount of the rental earnings in respect of the lease for the period of account.

3 The “rental earnings” for any period is the amount which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as the gross return on investment for that period in respect of the long funding lease where it meets the finance lease test.

4 If the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan in the accounts in question, so much of the rentals under the lease as fall (or would fall) to be treated as interest are to be treated for the purposes of this section as rental earnings.

148B Lessor under long funding finance lease: exceptional items

1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade for a period of account if he is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease.

2 This section has effect where a profit or loss (whether of an income or capital nature)—

a arises to the person in connection with the lease, and

b in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice falls to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account, but

c would not, apart from this section, be brought into account in calculating the profits of the person.

3 The profit or loss is to be treated—

a in the case of a profit, as income of the person that is attributable to the lease,

b in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the person in connection with the lease.

4 Any reference in this section to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account is a reference to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes—

a in the person's profit and loss account or income statement,

b in the person's statement of recognised gains and losses or statement of changes in equity, or

c in any other statement of items brought into account in computing the person's profits or losses for that period.

148C Lessor under long funding finance lease making termination payment

1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade for a period of account if he is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease.

2 Where—

a the lease terminates, and

b a sum calculated by reference to the termination value is paid to the lessee,

no deduction in respect of the sum paid to the lessee is allowed in calculating the profits of the person.

3 This section does not prevent a deduction in respect of a sum to the extent that the sum is brought into account in determining the person's rental earnings.

Lessors under long funding operating leases

148D Lessor under long funding operating lease: periodic deduction

1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade in a period of account—

a for the whole of which, or

b for any part of which,

the person is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease.

2 A deduction is allowed in calculating the profits of the person for the period of account.

3 The amount of the deduction for any period of account is determined as follows.

4 First, find the “relevant value” for the purposes of subsection (6)(a), which is—

a if the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, cost;

b if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, market value;

c if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the recognised value;

d if the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the lower of cost and market value;

e if the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, but—

i the plant or machinery is brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1st April 2006, and

ii that qualifying activity is the leasing of the plant or machinery under the long funding lease,

the relevant value is the lower of first use market value and first use amortised value.

5 In subsection (4)—

“cost” means the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery;
“first use amortised value” means the value that the plant or machinery would have at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity, on the assumption that—
1. the cost of acquiring the plant or machinery had been written off on a straight line basis over the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery, and
2. any further capital expenditure incurred had been written off on a straight line basis over so much of the remaining economic life of the plant or machinery as remains at the time when the expenditure is incurred;
“first use market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity;
“market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the long funding operating lease;
“recognised value” means the value at which the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other financial records of the lessor at the commencement of the long funding operating lease.

6 From—

a the relevant value determined in accordance with subsection (4),

subtract

b the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is (or, in a case falling within subsection (4)(e), would have been) expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery,

to find the expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease.

7 Apportion the amount of that expected gross reduction in value to each period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.

8 The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each period of account.

9 The amount of the deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.

148E Long funding operating lease: lessor's additional expenditure

1 This section applies if, in a period of account,—

a a person carrying on a trade is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease,

b the person incurs capital expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery, and

c that capital expenditure (the “additional expenditure”) is not reflected in the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease.

2 In a case falling within section 148D(4)(e), subsection (1)(c) has effect as if the reference to the commencement of the term of the lease were a reference to the time when the plant or machinery is first brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

3 Where this section applies, an additional deduction is allowed in calculating the profits of the person for each post-expenditure period of account in which the person is the lessor of the plant or machinery under the lease.

4 The amount of the deduction for any such period of account is to be determined as follows.

5 Find ARV, CRV, PRV and TRV where—

“ARV” is the amount which, at the time when the additional expenditure is incurred, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;
“CRV” is the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery;
“PRV” is the sum of any amounts that fell to be taken into account as RRV (see subsection (6)) in the application of this section in relation to any previous additional expenditure incurred by the person in relation to the leased plant or machinery;
“TRV” is the total of CRV and PRV.

6 Find RRV, where—

a if ARV exceeds CRV, RRV is the portion of the excess that is a result of the additional expenditure, but

b if ARV does not exceed CRV, RRV is nil.

7 From—

a the amount of the additional expenditure,

subtract

b RRV,

to find the expected partial reduction in value over the remainder of the term of the lease.

8 Apportion the amount of that expected partial reduction in value to each post-expenditure period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.

9 The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each post-expenditure period of account.

10 The amount of the additional deduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.

11 In this section “post-expenditure period of account” means any period of account ending after the incurring of the additional expenditure.

148F Lessor under long funding operating lease: termination of lease

1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade in a period of account if—

a a long funding operating lease terminates in that period of account, and

b the person is the lessor under that lease immediately before the termination.

2 Step 1 is to find—

a the termination amount (TA);

b the total of any sums paid to the lessee that are calculated by reference to the termination value (LP).

3 Step 2 is to find—

a the relevant value for the purposes of section 148D(6)(a) (RV);

b the total of the deductions allowable under section 148D for periods of account for the whole or part of which the person was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD1);

c the amount, if any, (ERV) by which RV exceeds TD1.

4 Step 3 is to find—

a the total of any amounts of capital expenditure incurred by the person which constitute additional expenditure for the purposes of section 148E in the case of the lease (TAE);

b the total of any deductions allowable under section 148E for periods of account for the whole or part of which the person was the lessor before the termination of the lease (TD2);

c the amount, if any, (EAE) by which TAE exceeds TD2.

5 Step 4 is to find the total of ERV and EAE (T).

6 If (TA – LP) exceeds T, treat a profit of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the person in the period of account in which the lease terminates.

7 If T exceeds (TA – LP), treat a loss of an amount equal to the excess as arising to the person in that period of account.

8 A profit or loss treated as arising to the person under subsection (6) or (7) is to be treated—

a in the case of a profit, as income of the person attributable to the lease,

b in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the person in connection with the lease.

9 In calculating the profits of the person for the period, no deduction is allowed in respect of any sums paid to the lessee that are calculated by reference to the termination value.

Lessees under long funding finance leases

148G Lessee under long funding finance lease: limit on deductions

1 This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade, profession or vocation for a period of account in which the person is the lessee of any plant or machinery under a long funding finance lease.

2 In calculating the person's profits for the period of account,—

a the amount deducted in respect of amounts payable under the lease,

must not exceed

b the amounts which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, fall (or would fall) to be shown in the person's accounts as finance charges in respect of the lease.

3 If the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan, subsection (2) applies as if the lease were one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, fell to be treated as a finance lease.

148H Lessee under long funding finance lease: termination

1 This section applies where—

a a person carrying on a trade, profession or vocation is or has been the lessee under a long funding finance lease, and

b in connection with the termination of the lease, a payment calculated by reference to the termination value falls to be made to the person.

2 The payment is not to be brought into account in calculating the profits of the person for any period of account.

3 Subsection (2) does not affect the amount of any disposal value that falls to be brought into account by the person under CAA 2001.

Lessees under long funding operating leases

148I Lessee under long funding operating lease

2 The deductions that may be allowed in calculating the profits of the person for the period of account are to be reduced in accordance with the following provisions of this section.

3 The amount of the reduction for any period of account is to be determined as follows.

4 First, find the “relevant value” for the purposes of subsection (6)(a), which is—

a the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease, unless paragraph (b) applies;

b if the lessee—

i owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, but

ii brings the plant or machinery into use for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1st April 2006,

the lower of first use market value and first use amortised market value.

5 In subsection (4)—

“first use amortised market value” means the value that the plant or machinery would have—
1. at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity, but
2. on the assumption that the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the lease had been written off on a straight line basis over the remaining useful economic life of the plant or machinery;
“first use market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

6 From—

a the relevant value determined in accordance with subsection (4),

subtract

b the amount which, at the commencement of the term of the lease, is (or, in a case falling within subsection (4)(b), would have been) expected to be the market value of the plant or machinery at the end of the term of the lease,

to find the expected gross reduction over the term of the lease.

7 Apportion the amount of that expected gross reduction to each period of account in which any part of the term of the lease falls.

8 The apportionment must be on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in each period of account.

9 The amount of the reduction for any period of account is the amount so apportioned to that period.

Interpretation of this Chapter

148J Interpretation of Chapter 10A

1 This section has effect for the interpretation of this Chapter.

2 In this Chapter—

“qualifying activity” has the same meaning as in Part 2 of CAA 2001;
“residual value”, in relation to any plant or machinery leased under a long funding operating lease, means—
1. the estimated market value of the plant or machinery on a disposal at the end of the term of the lease,
less
1. the estimated costs of that disposal.

3 Any reference in this Chapter to a sum being written off on a straight line basis over a period of time (the “writing-off period”) is a reference to—

a the sum being apportioned between each of the periods of account in which any part of the writing-off period falls,

b that apportionment being made on a time basis, according to the proportion of the writing-off period that falls in each of the periods of account, and

c the sum being written off accordingly.

4 Chapter 6A of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (interpretation of that Part so far as relating to long funding leases) also applies for the purposes of this Chapter.

2 Condition 1 is that before 21st July 2005 there was evidence in writing that there was agreement, or a common understanding, between the lessor's side and the lessee's side as to the principal terms of the lease (the “pre-existing heads of agreement”).The definitions of “the lessor's side”, “the lessee's side” and “the principal terms” are in paragraph 27.

3 Condition 2 is that the leased plant or machinery was under construction (see paragraph 24) before 1st April 2006.

3 Condition B is that, at the latest, the commencement of the term of the lease is as soon as is reasonably practicable after construction of the asset is substantially complete.

4 Condition C is that construction of the asset proceeded continuously on and after 1st April 2006.

5 Condition D is that construction of the asset proceeded at the normal pace for an asset of its type.For this purpose, “normal pace” is the pace required to construct the asset in a reasonable time without delays or interruptions and consistent with normal business practice.

6 This paragraph is supplemented by paragraph 19.

a the event is abnormal or unusual,

b the event is unforeseen, and could not reasonably have been foreseen, at the date when the main contract for the construction of the leased asset is entered into,

c the event is beyond the control of each of the principal parties,

d as respects the Condition in question, the consequences of the event could not have been avoided by the exercise of all due care, or the taking of all reasonable steps, by the principal parties or any of them.

3 In this paragraph “the principal parties” are—

a the lessor's side,

b the lessee's side,

c the main constructor (see the definition in paragraph 27).

Pre-existing heads of agreement relating to two or more assets¶

1 This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part in any case where the pre-existing heads of agreement relates to two or more assets.

2 The treatment of any of the assets varies according to whether the asset—

a is for use individually (see sub-paragraph (3)), or

b is a constituent asset of a combined asset (see sub-paragraph (4)).

3 Where any of the assets is for use individually, this Part has effect in relation to that asset separately, as if it were the subject of—

a its own separate pre-existing heads of agreement, and

b if there is a finalised lease, its own separate finalised lease.

See sub-paragraph (5) for the method of determining the terms.

4 Where any of the assets are constituent assets of a combined asset—

a the combined asset is to be regarded as a single asset, and

b the constituent assets are to be regarded as if they were instead component parts of that single asset,

and sub-paragraph (3) applies accordingly.

5 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), the principles in sections 70L and 70M of CAA 2001 are to be applied, with any necessary modifications, for the purpose of determining the terms of—

a the deemed separate pre-existing heads of agreement, and

b the deemed separate finalised lease (if any).

Expenditure incurred before passing of this Act where lease is not an excepted lease¶

1 This paragraph applies where the following conditions are met—

a a person incurs expenditure on the provision of plant or machinery for leasing under a long funding lease,

b some or all of that expenditure was incurred before the day on which this Act is passed,

c the long funding lease is not an excepted lease,

d before 21st July 2005 there was a pre-existing heads of agreement in the case of the long funding lease.

2 In this paragraph—

a “the old expenditure” means so much of the expenditure as is expenditure incurred before the day on which this Act is passed, and

b “the new expenditure” means so much of the expenditure as is expenditure incurred on or after that day.

3 Treat the old expenditure—

a as if it had been incurred on the provision of a separate asset for leasing under a separate long funding lease, and

b as if that separate long funding lease were an excepted lease.

4 Treat the new expenditure as if it had been incurred on the provision of a separate asset for leasing under a separate long funding lease in relation to which the amendments made by this Schedule have effect.That is without prejudice to the application of any provisions of this Part which treat that deemed separate long funding lease as if it were two or more leases.

5 The rentals under the actual long funding lease are to be apportioned between the two deemed leases in such manner as is just and reasonable.

6 This paragraph has effect for the purpose of determining liability to income tax or corporation tax in the case of any person who is or has been the lessor or the lessee under the actual long funding lease.

7 Paragraph 22 has effect for determining when an amount of expenditure is to be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as incurred by the person mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).

When expenditure is incurred for the purposes of paragraph 21¶

1 This paragraph has effect for determining, for the purposes of paragraph 21, when an amount of expenditure is to be treated as incurred by the person mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) of that paragraph.

2 The general rule is that an amount of expenditure is to be treated as incurred as soon as there is an unconditional obligation to pay it.

3 The general rule applies even if the whole or a part of the expenditure is not required to be paid until a later date.

4 There are the following exceptions to the general rule.

5 If, under an agreement,—

a an unconditional obligation to pay an amount of expenditure comes into being as a result of the giving of a certificate or any other event, and

b the giving of the certificate, or other event, occurs before the day that falls one month after the passing of this Act,

the expenditure is to be treated as incurred on the day before the passing of this Act.

6 If, under an agreement,—

a there is an unconditional obligation to pay an amount of expenditure on a date earlier than accords with normal commercial usage, and

b the sole or main benefit which might have been expected to be obtained thereby is that the amount would be treated, under the general rule, as incurred at an earlier time,

the amount is to be treated as incurred on the date on or before which it is required to be paid.

7 If the terms of an agreement are varied on or after 22nd March 2006 with respect to the times for payment and—

a apart from the variation, an unconditional obligation to pay an amount of expenditure would have come into being on or after the day on which this Act is passed, but

b as a result of the variation, the unconditional obligation to pay the amount comes into being before that day,

the amount is to be treated as incurred on the date on which it would have been treated as incurred apart from the variation.

8 Sub-paragraph (7) does not apply if the long funding lease mentioned in paragraph 21 was finalised before 22nd March 2006.

When a lease is “finalised”¶

1 For the purposes of this Part, a lease is “finalised” on the earliest day on which the following conditions are met.

2 Condition 1 is that there is a contract in writing for the lease between the lessor and the lessee.

3 Condition 2 is that either—

a the contract is unconditional, or

b if it is conditional, the conditions have been met.

4 Condition 3 is that no terms remain to be agreed.

When an asset is “under construction”¶

1 An asset is “under construction” at any time in the period which—

a begins when construction of the asset begins, and

b ends when construction of the asset is completed.

2 An asset consisting of two or more component parts is to be taken to be under construction at any time after the start of construction of any of those component parts which meets the condition in subsection (3).

3 The condition is that the component part has been identified as a component part of the particular asset before construction of the component part begins.

4 Sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) are subject to sub-paragraph (5).

5 The leased asset is not to be regarded as under construction at any time after the commencement of the term of the lease.

6 This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part.

Combined assets and constituent assets¶

1 A “combined asset” is an asset which meets the conditions in sub-paragraph (2).

2 The conditions are that—

a the asset is for use individually,

b it consists of two or more items of plant or machinery (“constituent assets”),

c each of the constituent assets is constructed with a view to its use in conjunction with the others as a single asset (namely, the combined asset).

3 Plant or machinery that can be used individually is not a constituent asset just because—

a it is one of a number of assets of the same or a similar description,

b each of those assets is intended for use individually, and

c the use individually of those assets is to be co-ordinated to any extent.

4 This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part.

Mixed leases¶

1 This paragraph applies in any case where there is a mixed lease (see section 70L of CAA 2001).

2 In any such case, determine whether the mixed lease is an excepted lease.

3 If the mixed lease is an excepted lease, section 70L of CAA 2001 and the amendments made by this Schedule accordingly do not have effect in relation to it.

4 If the mixed lease is not an excepted lease, then apply sections 70L and 70M of CAA 2001 and determine separately in the case of each derived lease whether that derived lease is an excepted lease.

7 Where a sublease is for an indefinite period, the period of the sublease is to be taken for the purposes of this paragraph to be a period of more than 7 years, unless the condition in sub-paragraph (8) is met.

8 The condition is that—

a the amount payable under the sublease must be reviewed at least once every 7 years, and

b if the amount payable under the sublease is found on such a review not to be the market rate applicable at the time of the review, it must be changed to the market rate applicable at that time.

9 Where there is an option to continue a sublease for an indefinite period, the period of the sublease is to be taken for the purposes of this paragraph to be a period of more than 7 years, unless the condition in sub-paragraph (10) is met.

10 The condition is that the amount payable under the sublease for any period for which the option may be exercised is the market rate applicable at the start of that period, except that—

a the amount for the time being payable under the sublease may subsequently be changed at any time to the market rate applicable at that time,

b the amount payable under the sublease must be reviewed at least once every 7 years, and

c if the amount payable under the sublease is found on such a review not to be the market rate applicable at the time of the review, it must be changed to the market rate applicable at that time.

11 Any reference in this paragraph to a lease by T includes a reference to a contract of affreightment entered into by T that provides for the carriage of goods by the qualifying ship.

Anti-avoidance

91EParagraph 91A(2) does not have effect in the case of the lease if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes—

a of the leasing of the ship,

b of a series of transactions of which the leasing of the ship is one, or

c of any of the transactions in such a series,

was to obtain a writing down allowance determined without regard to any of paragraphs 90, 92 and 94 to 102 in respect of expenditure incurred by any person on the provision of the ship.

Consequences of paragraph 91A(2) ceasing to have effect

91F

1 This paragraph applies if sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 91A ceases to have effect in relation to a lease (the “existing lease”) because one or more of the conditions in sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph cease to be met.

2 In any such case it is to be assumed for tax purposes that—

a the existing lease terminates at the time of the cessation;

b another lease (the “new lease”) is entered into immediately after the cessation;

c the term of the new lease is the portion of the term of the existing lease that remains unexpired at the time of the cessation;

d the date on which the cessation occurs is the date of both—

i the inception of the new lease, and

ii the commencement of the term of the new lease.

3 Where this paragraph applies, subsection (4) of section 70X of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (transfers, assignments etc by lessee) does not.

4 For the purposes of this paragraph, the following expressions have the meaning given in Chapter 6A of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases)—

“commencement”, in relation to the term of a lease;
“inception”, in relation to a lease;
“term”, in relation to a lease;
“terminate”.

4 In paragraph 93 (certificates required to support claim by lessor), in sub-paragraph (1)(b) after “in relation to the lease” insert “ and, if the lease is one that would (apart from paragraph 91A) fall to be regarded as a long funding lease for the purposes of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001, that paragraph 91A(2) has effect in relation to the lease. ”

5 Paragraph 15 of Schedule 8 (commencement) also has effect in relation to the amendments made by this paragraph.

Capital Allowances Act 2001¶

1 Section 67 of CAA 2001 is amended as follows.

2 After “qualifying activity”, in each place where those words occur in the section, insert “ or corresponding overseas activity ”.

4 After subsection (2) insert—

5 Renumber subsection (5) as subsection (7).

6 Before that subsection, as so renumbered, insert—

7 At the end of the section insert—

8 The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to contracts that are finalised (within the meaning of Part 4 of Schedule 8) on or after 1st April 2006.

1 Section 105 of CAA 2001 (basic terms: “leasing”, “overseas leasing” etc) is amended as follows.

2 After subsection (2) (“overseas leasing”) insert—

Anti-avoidance: meaning of “finance lease”¶

1 Section 219 of CAA 2001 (meaning of “finance lease” in Chapter 17 of Part 2) is amended as follows.

2 In subsection (1)(b), after sub-paragraph (ii) insert— “ and which are not a long funding lease in the case of the lessor. ”.

3 Paragraph 15 of Schedule 8 (commencement) also has effect in relation to the amendment made by this paragraph.

Capital allowances: allocation of expenditure to a chargeable period¶

1 Section 220 of CAA 2001 is amended as follows.

2 Before subsection (1) insert—

3 In subsection (1)—

a for “a person” substitute “ the company ”,

b for “a chargeable period” substitute “ the chargeable period ”,

c after “under a finance lease” insert “ or under a qualifying operating lease (see subsection (4)) ”, and

d for “person's”, in both places, substitute “ company's ”.

4 After subsection (2) insert—

3 The following provisions have effect for the interpretation of this section.

4 A “qualifying operating lease” is a plant or machinery lease that meets the following conditions—

a it is not a finance lease,

b it is a funding lease,

c its term is longer than 4 years but not longer than 5 years.

5 An ICTA period of account is the basis period for a chargeable period if the chargeable period coincides with, or falls within, the ICTA period of account.

6 An “ICTA period of account” is a period of account as defined in section 832(1) of ICTA.

7 The provisions of section 170(3) to (6) of TCGA 1992 apply to determine for the purposes of this section—

a whether a company is member of a group, and

b which company is the principal company of the group.

8 But, in applying those provisions for the purposes of this section, a company (“the subsidiary company”) that does not have ordinary share capital is to be treated as being a qualifying 75% subsidiary of another company (“the parent company”) if the parent company—

a has control of the subsidiary company, within the meaning of section 840 of ICTA, and

b is beneficially entitled to the appropriate proportion of profits and assets.

9 The parent company is beneficially entitled to the appropriate proportion of profits and assets if (and only if) it—

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.

10 The provisions of Schedule 18 to ICTA (equity holders and profits or assets etc) also apply for the purposes of this section.

11 In this section, the following expressions have the same meaning as in Chapter 6A of Part 2 (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases)—

“funding lease”,
“plant or machinery lease”,
“term”, in relation to a lease.

5 In consequence of the amendments made by this paragraph, the italic cross-heading preceding section 219 becomes “ Finance leases and certain operating leases ”.

6 The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to expenditure incurred on or after 1st April 2006.

SCHEDULE 12 ¶

Settlements: amendment of TCGA 1992 etc

Section 88

Part 1 Settlors, trustees and settlements¶

Basic trust concepts¶

1 In section 68 of TCGA 1992 for the definition of “settled property” substitute “ “settled property” means any property held in trust other than property to which section 60 applies (and references, however expressed, to property comprised in a settlement are references to settled property). ”

2 After section 68 of TCGA 1992 insert—

68A Meaning of “settlor”

1 In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires—

a “settlor” in relation to a settlement means the person, or any of the persons, who has made, or is treated for the purposes of this Act as having made, the settlement, and

b a person is a settlor of property which—

i is settled property by reason of his having made the settlement (or by reason of an event which causes him to be treated under this Act as having made the settlement), or

ii derives from property to which sub-paragraph (i) applies.

2 A person is treated for the purposes of this Act as having made a settlement if—

a he has made or entered into the settlement, directly or indirectly, or

b the settled property, or property from which the settled property is derived, is or includes property of which he was competent to dispose immediately before his death, and the settlement arose on his death, whether by will, on his intestacy, or otherwise.

3 A person is, in particular, treated for the purposes of this Act as having made a settlement if—

a he has provided property directly or indirectly for the purposes of the settlement, or

b he has undertaken to provide property directly or indirectly for the purposes of the settlement.

4 Where one person (A) makes or enters into a settlement in accordance with reciprocal arrangements with another person (B), for the purposes of this Act—

a B shall be treated as having made the settlement, and

b A shall not be treated as having made the settlement by reason only of the reciprocal arrangements.

5 In subsection (2)(b) “property of which he was competent to dispose immediately before his death” shall be construed in accordance with section 62(10) (reading each reference to “assets” as a reference to “property”).

6 A person who has been a settlor in relation to a settlement shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as having ceased to be a settlor in relation to the settlement if—

a no property of which he is a settlor is comprised in the settlement,

b he has not undertaken to provide property directly or indirectly for the purposes of the settlement in the future, and

c he has not made reciprocal arrangements with another person for that other person to enter into the settlement in the future.

7 For the purpose of this section and sections 68B and 68C property is derived from other property—

a if it derives (directly or indirectly and wholly or partly) from that property or any part of it, and

b in particular, if it derives (directly or indirectly and wholly or partly) from income from that property or any part of it.

8 In this section “arrangements” includes any scheme, agreement or understanding, whether or not legally enforceable.

68B Transfer between settlements: identification of settlor

1 This section applies in relation to a transfer of property from the trustees of one settlement (“Settlement 1”) to the trustees of another (“Settlement 2”) otherwise than—

a for full consideration, or

b by way of a bargain made at arm's length.

2 In this section “transfer of property” means—

a a disposal of property by the trustees of Settlement 1, and

b the acquisition by the trustees of Settlement 2 of—

i property disposed of by the trustees of Settlement 1, or

ii property created by the disposal;

and a reference to transferred property is a reference to property acquired by the trustees of Settlement 2 on the disposal.

3 For the purposes of this Act, except where the context otherwise requires—

a the settlor (or each settlor) of the property disposed of by the trustees of Settlement 1 shall be treated from the time of the disposal as having made Settlement 2, and

b if there is more than one settlor of the property disposed of by the trustees of Settlement 1, each settlor shall be treated in relation to Settlement 2 as the settlor of a proportionate part of the transferred property.

4 For the purposes of this Act, except where the context otherwise requires, if and to the extent that the property disposed of by the trustees of Settlement 1 was provided for the purposes of Settlement 1, or is derived from property provided for the purposes of Settlement 1, the transferred property shall be treated from the time of the disposal as having been provided for the purposes of Settlement 2.

5 If transferred property is treated by virtue of subsection (4) as having been provided for the purposes of Settlement 2 —

a the person who provided the property disposed of by the trustees of Settlement 1, or property from which it was derived, for the purposes of Settlement 1 shall be treated as having provided the transferred property, and

b if more than one person provided the property disposed of by the trustees of Settlement 1, or property from which it was derived, for the purposes of Settlement 1, each of them shall be treated as having provided a proportionate part of the transferred property.

6 But subsections (3) and (4) do not apply in relation to a transfer of property—

a which occurs by reason only of the assignment or assignation by a beneficiary under Settlement 1 of an interest in that settlement to the trustees of Settlement 2,

b which occurs by reason only of the exercise of a general power of appointment, or

c to which section 68C(6) applies.

7 In determining whether this section applies in relation to a transfer of property between settlements, section 18(2) shall be disregarded.

68C Variation of will or intestacy, etc: identification of settlor

1 This section applies where—

a a disposition of property following a person's death is varied, and

b section 62(6) applies in respect of the variation.

2 Where property becomes settled property in consequence of the variation (and would not, but for the variation, have become settled property), a person mentioned in subsection (3) shall be treated for the purposes of this Act, except where the context otherwise requires—

a as having made the settlement, and

b as having provided the property for the purposes of the settlement.

3 Those persons are—

a a person who immediately before the variation was entitled to the property, or to property from which it derives, absolutely as legatee,

b a person who would have become entitled to the property, or to property from which it derives, absolutely as legatee but for the variation,

c a person who immediately before the variation would have been entitled to the property, or to property from which it derives, absolutely as legatee but for being an infant or other person under a disability, and

d a person who would, but for the variation, have become entitled to the property, or to property from which it derives, absolutely as legatee if he had not been an infant or other person under a disability.

4 In subsection (3) references to a person being entitled to property absolutely as legatee shall be construed in accordance with section 64(3) (reading the references to “an asset” and “any asset” as references to “property”).

5 Where—

a property would have become comprised in a settlement—

i which arose on the deceased person's death (whether in accordance with his will, on his intestacy or otherwise), or

ii which was already in existence on the deceased person's death (whether or not the deceased person was a settlor in relation to that settlement), but

b in consequence of the variation the property, or property derived from it, becomes comprised in another settlement,

the deceased person shall be treated for the purposes of this Act, except where the context otherwise requires, as having made the other settlement.

6 Where—

a immediately before the variation property is comprised in a settlement and is property of which the deceased person is a settlor, and

b immediately after the variation the property, or property derived from it, becomes comprised in another settlement,

the deceased person shall be treated for the purposes of this Act, except where the context otherwise requires, as having made the other settlement.

7 If a person is treated as having made a settlement under subsection (5) or (6), for the purposes of this Act he shall be treated as having made the settlement immediately before his death.

8 But subsection (7) does not apply in relation to a settlement which arose on the person's death.

3 The amendment of section 68 made by sub-paragraph (1) shall come into force on 6th April 2006 (in relation to settlements whenever created).

4 Sections 68A and 68B (as inserted by sub-paragraph (2)) shall come into force on 6th April 2006 (in relation to settlements whenever created).

5 Section 68C (as inserted by sub-paragraph (2)) shall have effect in respect of variations occurring on or after 6th April 2006 (irrespective of the date on which the deceased person died).

1 For section 69(1) and (2) of TCGA 1992 (residence of trustees, etc) substitute—

1 For the purposes of this Act the trustees of a settlement shall, unless the context otherwise requires, together be treated as if they were a single person (distinct from the persons who are trustees of the settlement from time to time).

2 The deemed person referred to in subsection (1) shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom at any time when a condition in subsection (2A) or (2B) is satisfied.

2A Condition 1 is that all the trustees are resident in the United Kingdom.

2B Condition 2 is that—

a at least one trustee is resident in the United Kingdom,

b at least one is not resident in the United Kingdom, and

c a settlor in relation to the settlement was resident, ordinarily resident or domiciled in the United Kingdom at a time which is a relevant time in relation to him.

2C In subsection (2B)(c) “relevant time” in relation to a settlor—

a means, where the settlement arose on the settlor's death (whether by will, intestacy or otherwise), the time immediately before his death, and

b in any other case, means a time when the settlor made the settlement (or was treated for the purposes of this Act as making the settlement);

and, in the case of a transfer of property from Settlement 1 to Settlement 2 in relation to which section 68B applies, “relevant time” in relation to a settlor of the transferred property in respect of Settlement 2 includes any time which, immediately before the time of the disposal by the trustees of Settlement 1, was a relevant time in relation to that settlor in respect of Settlement 1.

2D A trustee who is not resident in the United Kingdom shall be treated for the purposes of subsections (2A) and (2B) as if he were resident in the United Kingdom at any time when he acts as trustee in the course of a business which he carries on in the United Kingdom through a branch, agency or permanent establishment there.

2E If the deemed person referred to in subsection (1) is not treated for the purposes of this Act as resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, then for the purposes of this Act it shall be treated as neither resident nor ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom.

2 This paragraph shall have effect—

a for the purposes of determining the residence status of the trustees of a settlement (whenever created), from 6th April 2007, and

b for any other purpose (in relation to settlements whenever created), from 6th April 2006.

SCHEDULE 4ZA

Sub-fund settlements

Making a sub-fund election

1The trustees of a settlement (the “principal settlement”) may elect that a fund or other specified portion of the settled property (the “sub-fund”) be treated, unless the context otherwise requires, as a separate settlement (the “sub-fund settlement”) for the purposes of this Act, and the election shall have effect.

1 An election under paragraph 1 (a “sub-fund election”) must specify the date on which it is to be treated as having taken effect, which must not be later than the date on which it is made.

2 The election shall be treated as having taken effect—

a at the beginning of the specified date, or

b if there is a deemed disposal of an asset by the trustees of the principal settlement under section 71(1) (by virtue of paragraph 19) or section 80(2) (by virtue of paragraph 18(2)), on the specified date immediately after the deemed disposal.

3Trustees may make a sub-fund election only if—

a Conditions 1 to 4 are satisfied when the election is made, and

b Conditions 2 to 4 were satisfied throughout the period beginning with the time when the election is to be treated as having taken effect and ending immediately before the election is made.

4Condition 1 is that the principal settlement is not itself a sub-fund settlement.

5Condition 2 is that the sub-fund is not the whole of the property comprised in the principal settlement.

6Condition 3 is that, if the sub-fund election had taken effect, the sub-fund settlement would not consist of or include an interest in an asset any other interest in which would be comprised in the principal settlement.

7For the purpose of Condition 3—

a sections 104(1) and 109(2)(a) shall not have effect, and

b “interest”, in relation to any asset, means an interest as a co-owner of the asset (whether the asset is owned jointly or in common and whether or not the interests of the co-owners are equal).

8Condition 4 is that, if the sub-fund election had taken effect, no person would be a beneficiary under both the sub-fund settlement and the principal settlement.

1 For the purpose of Condition 4 a person is a beneficiary under a settlement—

a if—

i any property which is or may at any time be comprised in the settlement, or

ii any derived property,

is, or will or may become, payable to him or applicable for his benefit in any circumstances whatsoever, or

b if he enjoys a benefit deriving directly or indirectly from—

i any property which is comprised in the settlement, or

ii any derived property.

2 But for the purpose of Condition 4 a person is not to be regarded as a beneficiary under a settlement if property comprised in the settlement, or any derived property, will or may become payable to him or applicable for his benefit by reason only of—

a his marrying, or entering into a civil partnership with, a beneficiary under the settlement,

b the death of a beneficiary under the settlement,

c the exercise by the trustees of the settlement of—

i a power conferred by section 32 of the Trustee Act 1925 (c. 19) or section 33 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 (c. 23 (N.I.)) (powers of advancement),

ii a power conferred by the law of a jurisdiction other than England and Wales or Northern Ireland which makes provision similar to the provisions specified in sub-paragraph (i), or

iii a power of advancement which is conferred by the instrument creating the principal settlement, or by another instrument made in accordance with the terms of the principal settlement, and which is subject to the same restrictions as those specified in section 32(1)(a) and (c) of the Trustee Act 1925, or

d the failure or determination of trusts of the kind described in section 33 of the Trustee Act 1925 (protective trusts).

3 In this paragraph “derived property”, in relation to any property, means—

a income from that property,

b property directly or indirectly representing—

i proceeds of that property, or

ii proceeds of income from that property, or

c income from property which is derived property by virtue of paragraph (b).

Sub-fund elections: procedure

10A sub-fund election must be made—

a by notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs, and

b in such form as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may require.

11A sub-fund election may not be made after the second 31st January after the year of assessment in which the date on which the election is to be treated as having taken effect falls.

12A sub-fund election must contain—

a a declaration by each trustee of the principal settlement that he consents to the election,

b a statement by the trustees of the principal settlement that the requirement in paragraph 3 is satisfied,

c such information as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may require in relation to the principal settlement (which may, in particular, include information relating to the trustees, the trusts, property which is or has been comprised in the settlement, the settlors or the beneficiaries),

d a declaration by the trustees of the principal settlement that the information given in the election is correct, to the best of their knowledge and belief, and

e such other declarations as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may require.

13A sub-fund election may not be revoked.

Power to make enquiries

14Where a sub-fund election has been made, an officer of Revenue and Customs may by notice require a person specified in paragraph 16 to supply information for the purposes of determining whether paragraph 3 was satisfied.

15The notice shall specify a period of not less than 60 days within which the information must be supplied.

1 The persons mentioned in paragraph 14 are—

a a person who is or has been a trustee of a relevant settlement;

b a person who is or has been a beneficiary under a relevant settlement;

c a person who is or has been a settlor in relation to a relevant settlement.

2 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a settlement is a relevant settlement if it is—

Consequences of a sub-fund election

17The sub-fund settlement shall be treated, for the purposes of this Act, as having been created at the time when the sub-fund election is treated as having taken effect.

2 A person who is a trustee of the sub-fund settlement shall be treated for the purposes of this Act, from the time when the election is treated as having taken effect, as having ceased to be a trustee of the principal settlement unless he is also a trustee of trusts on which property comprised in the principal settlement is held.

3 A person who is a trustee of the principal settlement shall not be treated for the purposes of this Act as a trustee of the sub-fund settlement unless he is also a trustee of trusts on which property comprised in the sub-fund settlement is held.

1 A deemed disposal by the trustees of the principal settlement of an asset under section 71(1) (by virtue of paragraph 19) or section 80(2) (by virtue of paragraph 18(2)) shall be treated as having been made at the beginning of the date on which the sub-fund election is treated as having taken effect.

2 If the trustees of the sub-fund settlement have acquired an asset of which the trustees of the principal settlement are deemed to have disposed under section 71(1) (by virtue of paragraph 19), they shall be deemed to have acquired it at the time when the election is treated as having taken effect.

3 The trustees of the principal settlement shall not be treated as having disposed of an asset under section 80(2) by virtue of paragraph 18(2) if they are treated as having disposed of the same asset under section 71(1) by virtue of paragraph 19.

21If the trustees of the sub-fund settlement are treated by virtue of paragraph 19 as having become absolutely entitled to money expressed in sterling, for the purposes of this Act—

a the trustees of the principal settlement shall be treated as having disposed of the money at the beginning of the day on which the sub-fund election is treated as having taken effect, and

b the trustees of the sub-fund settlement shall be treated as having acquired the money at the time when the election is treated as having taken effect.

1 If the trustees of the principal settlement are deemed to have disposed of an asset under section 71(1) (by virtue of paragraph 19), the trustees of the principal settlement shall be treated for the purposes of sections 90 and 94 as having transferred the asset to the trustees of the sub-fund settlement.

2 Sub-paragraph (1) also applies where the trustees of the principal settlement would be deemed to have disposed of money expressed in sterling under subsection (1) of section 71 if in that subsection—

a the reference to “assets” were a reference to “property”, and

b for “their” there were substituted “ its ”.

3 This paragraph shall have effect in relation to years of assessment beginning on or after 6th April 2006 (but a sub-fund election may not be treated as having taken effect before 6th April 2006).

SCHEDULE 15 ¶

Accountancy change: spreading of adjustment

Section 102

Part 1 Income tax¶

Application of this Part of this Schedule¶

1 This Part of this Schedule applies where—

a there is a change of accounting approach from one period of account to the next in calculating the profits of a business for income tax purposes,

b the later period of account ends on or after 22nd June 2005 and the basis on which the profits for that period are calculated is in accordance with UK GAAP (including SSAP 9 and Application Note G as interpreted by UITF 40), and

c the earlier period of account ended before that date and the basis on which profits for that period were calculated was in accordance with UK GAAP (including SSAP 9 and Application Note G, but not as interpreted by UITF 40),

and has effect in relation to any adjustment income under Chapter 17 of Part 2 of ITTIOIA 2005 attributable to the change of basis from that mentioned in paragraph (c) to that mentioned in paragraph (b).

2 In relation to a period for which accounts are drawn up in accordance with international accounting standards, the references in sub-paragraph (1) to requirements of UK GAAP shall be read as references to the corresponding requirements of international accounting standards.

3 In sub-paragraph (1)—

“SSAP 9” means Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No.9 on Long-term contracts, issued by the Accounting Standards Board;
“Application Note G” means Application Note G to Financial Reporting Standard 5 issued by the Accounting Standards Board in November 2003;
“UITF 40” means Abstract No.40 on Revenue recognition and service contracts, issued by the Urgent Issues Task Force of the Accounting Standards Board on 10th March 2005.

4 Any reference in this Part of this Schedule to the date on which the change of accounting approach was adopted is to the first day of the first period of account for which it was adopted.

5 To determine the amount of adjustment income attributable to the change of basis mentioned in the closing words of sub-paragraph (1), assume that there was no other change of accounting approach.

Spreading of adjustment income¶

1 The adjustment income shall be spread in accordance with the following rules.

2 In each of the first three tax years beginning with that in which the whole amount of the adjustment income would otherwise be chargeable to tax, an amount equal to whichever is the less of—

a one-third of the original amount of the adjustment income, and

b one-sixth of the profits of the business for that tax year,

is treated as arising and charged to tax.

3 In the fourth and fifth tax years, if the whole of the adjustment income has not been charged to tax in previous tax years, an amount equal to whichever is the least of—

a the amount remaining untaxed,

b one-third of the original amount of the adjustment income, and

c one-sixth of the profits of the business for that tax year,

is treated as arising and charged to tax.

4 In the sixth tax year so much (if any) of the adjustment income as has not previously been charged to tax is treated as arising and is charged to tax.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph “the profits of the business” means the profits of the business as calculated for income tax purposes leaving out of account—

a any adjustment expenses under Chapter 17 of Part 2 of ITTIOIA 2005, and

b any allowances or charges under CAA 2001.

6 This paragraph has effect subject to—

a paragraph 3 (effect of cessation of business), and

b paragraph 4 (election to accelerate charge).

Effect of cessation of business¶

3If before the whole of the adjustment income has been charged to tax the person permanently ceases to carry on the business in question, paragraph 2 continues to apply but with the omission of the alternative limit in sub-paragraph (2)(b) and (3)(c) referring to the profits of the business.

Election to accelerate charge¶

1 A person who under paragraph 2 is liable to tax for a tax year (Year 1) on an amount of adjustment income may elect for an additional amount to be treated as arising in that tax year.

2 The election must be made on or before the first anniversary of the 31st January of Year 2.

3 The election must specify the amount to be treated as income arising in the tax year (which may be any amount up to the whole of the adjustment income not previously charged to tax).

4 If an election is made, paragraph 2 applies in relation to any subsequent tax year as if the original amount of adjustment income (as reduced by the previous application of this sub-paragraph) were reduced by the additional amount treated as arising in the tax year for which the election is made.

Liability of personal representatives¶

1 This paragraph applies in the case of the death of a person who would otherwise have been liable to tax under this Part of this Schedule on adjustment income.

2 The tax under this Part of this Schedule for which the person would otherwise have been liable—

a shall be assessed and charged on the personal representatives, and

b is a debt due from and payable out of the deceased's estate.

3 The personal representatives may make any election under this Part of this Schedule that the deceased might have made.

Meaning of “business”¶

6In this Part of this Schedule “business” means—

a a trade, profession or vocation, or

b a UK property business or overseas property business.

Application of provisions to partnerships¶

1 This paragraph applies where the business is carried on by the person in partnership.

2 The amounts chargeable to tax under this Part of this Schedule for any tax year are calculated as if the partnership were an individual resident in the United Kingdom.

3 The person's share of the amount charged to tax is determined—

a for the first tax year, according to the profit-sharing arrangements for the twelve months ending immediately before the date on which the change of accounting practice was adopted;

b for any subsequent tax year, according to the profit-sharing arrangements for the twelve months immediately following the twelve months used to determine the person's share for the previous year.

An election under paragraph 4 (election to accelerate charge) in relation to a tax year must be made jointly by all the persons who have been members of the partnership in the relevant twelve month period and are chargeable to income tax.

4 If paragraph 3 applies (effect of cessation of business), each partner's share of any amount charged to tax on or after the cessation is determined as follows—

a if the cessation occurs on the date on which the change of accounting approach was adopted, according to the profit-sharing arrangements for the twelve months ending immediately before that date;

b if the cessation occurs after that date, but on or before the first anniversary of that date, according to the profit-sharing arrangements for the period between that date and the date of cessation;

c if the cessation occurs after the first anniversary of the date on which the change of accounting approach was adopted, according to the profit-sharing arrangements for the period between the immediately preceding anniversary of that date and the date of cessation.

An election under paragraph 4 after the cessation must be made by each former partner separately.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph “profit-sharing arrangements” means the rights of the partners to share in the profits of the business for the period in question.

6 In the case of a business carried on by a limited liability partnership the operation of this Part of this Schedule is not affected by the partnership's ceasing to be one carrying on a trade, profession or other business with a view to profit.

Cases where spreading already available¶

8This Part of this Schedule does not apply to adjustment income to which section 238 of that Act applies (spreading on ending of special provision for barristers and advocates in early years of practice).

Part 2 Corporation tax¶

Application of this Part of this Schedule¶

1 This Part of this Schedule applies where—

a there is a change of accounting approach from one period of account to the next in calculating the profits of a business for corporation tax purposes,

and has effect in relation to any positive adjustment under Chapter 14 of Part 3 of or section 262 of CTA 2009 attributable to the change of basis from that mentioned in paragraph (c) to that mentioned in paragraph (b).

3 In this paragraph—

“SSAP 9” means Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No.9 on Long-term contracts, issued by the Accounting Standards Board;
“Application Note G” means Application Note G to Financial Reporting Standard 5 issued by the Accounting Standards Board in November 2003;
“UITF 40” means Abstract No.40 on Revenue recognition and service contracts, issued by the Urgent Issues Task Force of the Accounting Standards Board on 10th March 2005.

4 Any reference in this Part of this Schedule to the date on which the change of accounting approach was adopted is to the first day of the first period of account for which it was adopted.

5 To determine the amount of positive adjustment attributable to the change of basis mentioned in the closing words of sub-paragraph (1), assume that there was no other change of accounting approach.

Spreading of adjustment¶

1 The adjustment shall be spread in accordance with the following rules.

2 In each of the first three accounting periods beginning with that in which the whole of the adjustment would otherwise be charged to tax, an amount equal to whichever is the less of—

a one-third of the amount of the original adjustment, and

b one-sixth of the profits of the business for that period,

is treated as arising and charged to tax.

3 In the fourth and fifth accounting periods, if the whole of the adjustment has not been charged to tax in the previous periods, an amount equal to whichever is the least of—

a the amount remaining untaxed,

b one-third of the amount of the original adjustment, and

c one-sixth of the profits of the business for that period,

is treated as arising and charged to tax.

4 In the sixth accounting period so much (if any) of the adjustment as has not previously been charged to tax is treated as arising and is charged to tax.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph “the profits of the business” means the profits of the business as calculated for corporation tax purposes leaving out of account—

a any adjustment under Chapter 14 of Part 3 of or section 262 of CTA 2009, and

b any allowances or charges under CAA 2001.

6 This paragraph has effect subject to—

a paragraph 11 (accounting periods of less than twelve months),

b paragraph 12 (effect of other events bringing accounting period to an end), and

c paragraph 13 (election to accelerate charge).

Accounting periods of less than twelve months¶

1 This paragraph applies where by reason of—

a a change of accounting date,

b the company entering administration (see section 10 of CTA 2009), or

c an insurance business transfer scheme (see section 12(7A) and (7B) of that Act),

an accounting period to which paragraph 10 applies is a period of less than twelve months (a “short period”).

2 In relation to a short period the references in that paragraph to one-third of the amount of the original adjustment shall be read as references to the proportion of that amount that the period bears to twelve months.

3 Where any of the accounting periods of the company falling within the period of six years following the change of accounting approach is a short period—

a the rule in paragraph 10(3) applies in relation to every accounting period after the third and before that in which the sixth anniversary of the change of accounting approach falls, and

b the rule in paragraph 10(4) applies in relation to the accounting period in which that anniversary falls.

Effect of other events bringing accounting period to an end¶

1 If before the whole of the adjustment has been charged to tax an accounting period of the company ends by reason of—

a the company ceasing to be within the charge to corporation tax,

b the commencement of winding-up proceedings in respect of the company (see section 12 of CTA 2009),

the rule in paragraph 10(4) applies in relation to that accounting period.

2 If the company permanently ceases to carry on the business in question (without there being any event within sub-paragraph (1) above), paragraph 10 continues to apply but with the omission of the alternative limit in sub-paragraph (2)(b) and (3)(c) referring to the profits of the business.

Election to accelerate charge¶

1 A company that under paragraph 10 is liable to tax for an accounting period on any amount may elect for an additional amount to be treated as arising in that period.

2 The election must be made on or before the first anniversary of the filing date for the company's company tax return for the accounting period for which the election is made.

3 The election must specify the amount to be treated as arising in the accounting period (which may be any amount up to the whole of the adjustment not previously charged to tax).

4 If an election is made, paragraph 10 applies in relation to any subsequent accounting period as if the amount of the original adjustment (as reduced by any previous application of this sub-paragraph) were reduced by the additional amount treated as arising in the accounting period for which the election is made.

Meaning of “business” etc¶

1 In this Part of this Schedule “business” means—

a a trade or vocation, or

b a UK property business or overseas property business.

Application of provisions to partnerships¶

1 This paragraph applies where the business is carried on by the company in partnership.

2 The amounts chargeable to tax under this Part of this Schedule are calculated as if the partnership were a company resident in the United Kingdom.

3 The company's share of any such amount is determined by reference to the profit-sharing arrangements for the previous accounting period.An election under paragraph 13 (election to accelerate charge) must be made jointly by all the persons who have been members of the partnership in the previous accounting period and are chargeable to corporation tax.

4 If paragraph 12(2) applies (effect of cessation of business), each partner's share of any amount charged to tax on or after the cessation is determined as follows—

a if the cessation occurs on the date on which the change of accounting approach was adopted, according to the profit-sharing arrangements for the twelve months ending immediately before that date;

An election under paragraph 13 after the cessation must be made by each former partner separately.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph “profit-sharing arrangements” means the rights of the partners to share in the profits of the business for the period in question.

6 A change in the persons carrying on a business does not constitute the permanent cessation of the business for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule so long as a person carrying on the business immediately before the change continues to carry on the business immediately after the change.

7 In the case of a business carried on by a limited liability partnership the operation of this Part of this Schedule is not affected by the partnership's ceasing to be one carrying on a trade, profession or other business with a view to profit.

8 Nothing in this paragraph shall be read as affecting the operation of—

a paragraph 19 of Schedule 9 to FA 1996 (loan relationships), or

b paragraph 49 of Schedule 26 to FA 2002 (derivative contracts),

(under which certain debits and credits are not to be brought into account as if the partnership were a company).

Section 156

Part 1 “Trusts for bereaved minors”, “age 18-to-25 trusts” and “accumulation and maintenance” trusts¶

Trusts for bereaved minors and Age 18-to-25 trusts¶

1 In IHTA 1984, after section 71 insert—

71A Trusts for bereaved minors

1 This section applies to settled property (including property settled before 22nd March 2006) if—

a it is held on statutory trusts for the benefit of a bereaved minor under sections 46 and 47(1) of the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (succession on intestacy and statutory trusts in favour of issue of intestate), or

b it is held on trusts for the benefit of a bereaved minor and subsection (2) below applies to the trusts,

but this section does not apply to property in which a disabled person's interest subsists.

2 This subsection applies to trusts—

a established under the will of a deceased parent of the bereaved minor, or

b established under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme,

which secure that the conditions in subsection (3) below are met.

3 Those conditions are—

a that the bereaved minor, if he has not done so before attaining the age of 18, will on attaining that age become absolutely entitled to—

i the settled property,

ii any income arising from it, and

iii any income that has arisen from the property held on the trusts for his benefit and been accumulated before that time,

b that, for so long as the bereaved minor is living and under the age of 18, if any of the settled property is applied for the benefit of a beneficiary, it is applied for the benefit of the bereaved minor, and

c that, for so long as the bereaved minor is living and under the age of 18, either—

i the bereaved minor is entitled to all of the income (if there is any) arising from any of the settled property, or

ii no such income may be applied for the benefit of any other person.

4 Trusts such as are mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) above are not to be treated as failing to secure that the conditions in subsection (3) above are met by reason only of—

a the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 32 of the Trustee Act 1925 (powers of advancement),

b the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by proviso (a) of subsection (1) of that section,

c the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 33 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland),

d the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by subsection (1)(a) of that section, or

e the trustees' having powers to the like effect as the powers mentioned in any of paragraphs (a) to (d) above.

5 In this section “the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme” means—

a the schemes established by arrangements made under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 1995,

b arrangements made by the Secretary of State for compensation for criminal injuries in operation before the commencement of those schemes, and

c the scheme established under the Criminal Injuries Compensation (Northern Ireland) Order 2002.

1 Subject to subsections (2) and (3) below, there shall be a charge to tax under this section—

a where settled property ceases to be property to which section 71A above applies, and

b in a case where paragraph (a) above does not apply, where the trustees make a disposition as a result of which the value of settled property to which section 71A above applies is less than it would be but for the disposition.

2 Tax is not charged under this section where settled property ceases to be property to which section 71A applies as a result of—

a the bereaved minor attaining the age of 18 or becoming, under that age, absolutely entitled as mentioned in section 71A(3)(a) above, or

b the death under that age of the bereaved minor, or

c being paid or applied for the advancement or benefit of the bereaved minor.

3 Subsections (3) to (8) and (10) of section 70 above apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section, but—

a with the substitution of a reference to subsection (1)(b) above for the reference in subsection (4) of section 70 above to subsection (2)(b) of that section,

b with the substitution of a reference to property to which section 71A above applies for each of the references in subsections (3), (5) and (8) of section 70 above to property to which that section applies,

c as if, for the purposes of section 70(8) above as applied by this subsection, property—

i which is property to which section 71A above applies,

ii which, immediately before it became property to which section 71A above applies, was property to which section 71 above applied, and

iii which, by the operation of section 71(1B) above, ceased on that occasion to be property to which section 71 above applied,

had become property to which section 71A above applies not on that occasion but on the occasion (or last occasion) before then when it became property to which section 71 above applied, and

d as if, for the purposes of section 70(8) above as applied by this subsection, property—

i which is property to which section 71A above applies,

ii which, immediately before it became property to which section 71A above applies, was property to which section 71D below applied, and

iii which, by the operation of section 71D(5)(a) below, ceased on that occasion (“the 71D-to-71A occasion”) to be property to which section 71D below applied,

had become property to which section 71A above applies not on the 71D-to-71A occasion but on the relevant earlier occasion.

4 In subsection (3)(d) above—

a “the relevant earlier occasion” means the occasion (or last occasion) before the 71D-to-71A occasion when the property became property to which section 71D below applied, but

b if the property, when it became property to which section 71D below applied, ceased at the same time to be property to which section 71 above applied without ceasing to be settled property, “the relevant earlier occasion” means the occasion (or last occasion) when the property became property to which section 71 above applied.

71C Sections 71A and 71B: meaning of “bereaved minor”

In sections 71A and 71B above “bereaved minor” means a person—

a who has not yet attained the age of 18, and

71D Age 18-to-25 trusts

1 This section applies to settled property (including property settled before 22nd March 2006), but subject to subsection (5) below, if—

a established under the will of a deceased parent of the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above, or

which secure that the conditions in subsection (6) below are met.

3 Subsection (4) has effect where—

a at any time on or after 22nd March 2006 but before 6th April 2008, or on the coming into force of paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 20 to the Finance Act 2006, any property ceases to be property to which section 71 above applies without ceasing to be settled property, and

b immediately after the property ceases to be property to which section 71 above applies—

i it is held on trusts for the benefit of a person who has not yet attained the age of 25, and

ii the trusts secure that the conditions in subsection (6) below are met.

4 From the time when the property ceases to be property to which section 71 above applies, but subject to subsection (5) below, this section applies to the property (if it would not apply to the property by virtue of subsection (1) above) for so long as—

a the property continues to be settled property held on trusts such as are mentioned in subsection (3)(b)(i) above, and

b the trusts continue to secure that the conditions in subsection (6) below are met.

5 This section does not apply—

a to property to which section 71A above applies,

c to settled property if a person is beneficially entitled to an interest in possession in the settled property and—

i the person became beneficially entitled to the interest in possession before 22nd March 2006, or

ii the interest in possession is an immediate post-death interest, or a transitional serial interest, and the person became beneficially entitled to it on or after 22nd March 2006.

6 Those conditions are—

a that the person mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (3)(b)(i) above (“B”), if he has not done so before attaining the age of 25, will on attaining that age become absolutely entitled to—

i the settled property,

ii any income arising from it, and

iii any income that has arisen from the property held on the trusts for his benefit and been accumulated before that time,

b that, for so long as B is living and under the age of 25, if any of the settled property is applied for the benefit of a beneficiary, it is applied for the benefit of B, and

c that, for so long as B is living and under the age of 25, either—

i B is entitled to all of the income (if there is any) arising from any of the settled property, or

ii no such income may be applied for the benefit of any other person.

7 For the purposes of this section, trusts are not to be treated as failing to secure that the conditions in subsection (6) above are met by reason only of—

a the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 32 of the Trustee Act 1925 (powers of advancement),

b the trustees' having those powers but free from, or subject to a less restrictive limitation than, the limitation imposed by proviso (a) of subsection (1) of that section,

c the trustees' having the powers conferred by section 33 of the Trustee Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland),

71E Charge to tax on property to which section 71D applies

1 Subject to subsections (2) to (4) below, there shall be a charge to tax under this section—

a where settled property ceases to be property to which section 71D above applies, or

b in a case where paragraph (a) above does not apply, where the trustees make a disposition as a result of which the value of the settled property to which section 71D above applies is less than it would be but for the disposition.

2 Tax is not charged under this section where settled property ceases to be property to which section 71D above applies as a result of—

a B becoming, at or under the age of 18, absolutely entitled as mentioned in section 71D(6)(a) above,

b the death, under the age of 18, of B,

c becoming, at a time when B is living and under the age of 18, property to which section 71A above applies, or

d being paid or applied for the advancement or benefit of B—

i at a time when B is living and under the age of 18, or

ii on B's attaining the age of 18.

3 Tax is not charged under this section in respect of—

a a payment of costs or expenses (so far as they are fairly attributable to property to which section 71D above applies), or

b a payment which is (or will be) income of any person for any of the purposes of income tax or would for any of those purposes be income of a person not resident in the United Kingdom if he were so resident,

or in respect of a liability to make such a payment.

4 Tax is not charged under this section by virtue of subsection (1)(b) above if the disposition is such that, were the trustees beneficially entitled to the settled property, section 10 or section 16 above would prevent the disposition from being a transfer of value.

5 For the purposes of this section the trustees shall be treated as making a disposition if they omit to exercise a right (unless it is shown that the omission was not deliberate) and the disposition shall be treated as made at the time or latest time when they could have exercised the right.

71F Calculation of tax charged under section 71E in certain cases

1 Where—

a tax is charged under section 71E above by reason of the happening of an event within subsection (2) below, and

b that event happens after B has attained the age of 18,

the tax is calculated in accordance with this section.

2 Those events are—

a B becoming absolutely entitled as mentioned in section 71D(6)(a) above,

b the death of B, and

c property being paid or applied for the advancement or benefit of B.

3 The amount of the tax is given by—

Chargeable amount \times Relevant fraction \times Settlement rate

4 For the purposes of subsection (3) above, the “Chargeable amount” is—

a the amount by which the value of property which is comprised in the settlement and to which section 71D above applies is less immediately after the event giving rise to the charge than it would be but for the event, or

b where the tax is payable out of settled property to which section 71D above applies immediately after the event, the amount which, after deducting the tax, is equal to the amount on which tax would be charged by virtue of paragraph (a) above.

5 For the purposes of subsection (3) above, the “Relevant fraction” is three tenths multiplied by so many fortieths as there are complete successive quarters in the period—

a beginning with the day on which B attained the age of 18 or, if later, the day on which the property became property to which section 71D above applies, and

b ending with the day before the occasion of the charge.

6 Where the whole or part of the Chargeable amount is attributable to property that was excluded property at any time during the period mentioned in subsection (5) above then, in determining the “Relevant fraction” in relation to that amount or part, no quarter throughout which that property was excluded property shall be counted.

7 For the purposes of subsection (3) above, the “Settlement rate” is the effective rate (that is to say, the rate found by expressing the tax chargeable as a percentage of the amount on which it is charged) at which tax would be charged on the value transferred by a chargeable transfer of the description specified in subsection (8) below.

8 The chargeable transfer postulated in subsection (7) above is one—

a the value transferred by which is equal to an amount determined in accordance with subsection (9) below,

b which is made at the time of the charge to tax under section 71E above by a transferor who has in the period of seven years ending with the day of the occasion of the charge made chargeable transfers having an aggregate value equal to that of any chargeable transfers made by the settlor in the period of seven years ending with the day on which the settlement commenced, disregarding transfers made on that day, and

c on which tax is charged in accordance with section 7(2) above.

9 The amount referred to in subsection (8)(a) above is equal to the aggregate of—

a the value, immediately after the settlement commenced, of the property then comprised in it,

b the value, immediately afer a related settlement commenced, of the property then comprised in it, and

c the value, immediately after it became comprised in the settlement, of any property which became so comprised after the settlement commenced and before the occasion of the charge under section 71E above (whether or not it has remained so comprised).

71G Calculation of tax charged under section 71E in all other cases

1 Where—

a tax is charged under section 71E above, and

b the tax does not fall to be calculated in accordance with section 71F above,

the tax is calculated in accordance with this section.

2 The amount on which the tax is charged is—

3 The rate at which the tax is charged is the rate that would be given by subsections (6) to (8) of section 70 above—

a if the reference to section 70 above in subsection (8)(a) of that section were a reference to section 71D above,

b if the other references in those subsections to section 70 above were references to section 71E above, and

c if, for the purposes of section 70(8) above, property—

i which is property to which section 71D above applies,

ii which, immediately before it became property to which section 71D above applies, was property to which section 71 applied, and

iii which ceased on that occasion to be property to which section 71 above applied without ceasing to be settled property,

had become property to which section 71D above applies not on that occasion but on the occasion (or last occasion) before then when it became property to which section 71 above applied.

71H Sections 71A to 71G: meaning of “parent”

1 In sections 71A to 71G above “parent” includes step-parent.

2 For the purposes of sections 71A to 71G above, a deceased individual (“D”) shall be taken to have been a parent of another individual (“Y”) if, immediately before D died, D had—

a parental responsibility for Y under the law of England and Wales,

b parental responsibilities in relation to Y under the law of Scotland, or

c parental responsibility for Y under the law of Northern Ireland.

3 In subsection (2)(a) above “parental responsibility” has the same meaning as in the Children Act 1989.

4 In subsection (2)(b) above “parental responsibilities” has the meaning given by section 1(3) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995.

5 In subsection (2)(c) above “parental responsibility” has the same meaning as in the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995.

2 Sub-paragraph (1) shall be deemed to have come into force on 22nd March 2006.

Section 71 of IHTA 1984 not to apply to property settled on or after 22nd March 2006¶

1 Section 71 of IHTA 1984 (accumulation and maintenance trusts) is amended as follows.

2 In subsection (1) (settled property to which section applies, subject to subsection (2)), for “subsection” substitute “ subsections (1A) to ”.

3 After subsection (1) insert—

4 Where a chargeable transfer to which section 54A of IHTA 1984 applies was made before 22nd March 2006, that section has effect in relation to that transfer as if references in that section to section 71 of IHTA 1984 were to section 71 of IHTA 1984 without the amendments made by sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).

5 There is no charge to tax under section 71 of IHTA 1984 in a case where settled property ceases, by the operation of the subsection (1B) inserted into that section by this paragraph, to be property to which that section applies.

6 Sub-paragraphs (1) to (5) shall be deemed to have come into force on 22nd March 2006.

Section 71 of IHTA 1984 to cease to apply to certain settled property from 6th April 2008¶

1 In section 71(1)(a) of IHTA 1984 (section applies to settled property only if one or more persons will become beneficially entitled on or before reaching a specified age not exceeding 25)—

a for “twenty-five” substitute “ eighteen ”, and

b omit “or to an interest in possession in it”.

2 Sub-paragraph (1) comes into force on 6th April 2008 but only for the purpose of determining whether, at a time on or after that day, section 71 of IHTA 1984 applies to settled property.

3 There is no charge to tax under section 71 of IHTA 1984 in a case where—

a settled property ceases, on the coming into force of sub-paragraph (1), to be property to which that section applies, but

b that section would immediately after the coming into force of sub-paragraph (1) apply to the settled property but for the amendments made by sub-paragraph (1).

a settled property becomes held on or after 22nd March 2006 on trusts to the like effect as those specified in section 33(1)(i) of the Trustee Act 1925, and

b the interest of the principal beneficiary under those trusts is—

i not an immediate post-death interest,

ii not a disabled person's interest within section 89B(1)(c) or (d) below, and

Close company's interest in possession treated as interest of its participators¶

26In section 101 of IHTA 1984 (where close company has interest in possession in settled property, its participators are treated for purposes of IHTA 1984 as the persons entitled to the interest), after subsection (1) insert—

1A Where the interest in possession mentioned in subsection (1) above is one to which the company became entitled on or after 22nd March 2006 (whether or not the company was a close company when it became entitled to the interest), subsection (1) above applies in relation to the interest only if it is—

a an immediate post-death interest, or

b a transitional serial interest.

1B Subsection (1C) below applies where any of the participators mentioned in subsection (1) above (“the prior participator”) disposes of rights and interests of his in the company to another person (“the later participator”).

1C If and so far as the later participator is a participator in the company by virtue of having any of the rights and interests disposed of, subsection (1) above is to be applied to him only as a participator in his own right (in particular, he is not to be treated by virtue of that subsection as having entitlement to the interest in possession as a result of disposal to him of entitlement that the prior participator was treated as having by virtue of that subsection, but this is without prejudice to the application of this Act in relation to the prior participator as the person making the disposal).

Distributions within two years of person's death out of property settled by his will¶

i an immediate post-death interest subsisting in the property, or

ii section 71A or 71D above applying to the property.

4 Where this subsection applies by virtue of an event—

a this Act shall have effect as if the will had provided that on the testator's death the property should be held as it is held after the event, but

b tax shall not be charged on that event under any provision of Chapter 3 of Part 3 of this Act.

5 Subsection (4) above also applies where—

a a person dies before 22nd March 2006,

b property comprised in the person's estate immediately before his death is settled by his will,

c an event occurs—

i on or after 22nd March 2006, and

b section 71A or 71D above applying to the property.

3 In subsection (8), after “borrowing” insert “ and the receipt of income and gains from taxable property. ”

4In section 173 (benefits), after subsection (7) insert—

5After section 174 insert—

174A Taxable property held by investment-regulated pension schemes

1 An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as making an unauthorised payment to a member of the pension scheme if—

a the pension scheme acquires an interest in taxable property, and

b the interest is held by the pension scheme for the purposes of an arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member.

2 An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as making an unauthorised payment to a member of the pension scheme if—

a an interest in taxable property is held by the pension scheme for the purposes of an arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member, and

b the property is improved.

3 An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as making an unauthorised payment to a member of the pension scheme if—

a an interest in property which is not residential property is held by the pension scheme for the purposes of an arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member, and

b the property is converted or adapted to become residential property.

4 Schedule 29A makes provision supplementing this section; and in that Schedule—

a Part 1 defines “investment-regulated pension scheme”,

b Part 2 defines “taxable property” (and “residential property”),

c Part 3 explains what it means to acquire, and to hold, an interest in taxable property, and

d Part 4 contains provision for calculating the amounts of unauthorised payments treated as made by this section and explains when the unauthorised payments are treated as made.

6After section 185 insert—

Income and gains from taxable property

185A Income from taxable property

1 An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as having made a scheme chargeable payment if the pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property in a tax year.

2 The amount of the scheme chargeable payment depends on whether a person who holds the interest in the property directly receives profits arising from the interest in the tax year.

3 If a person who holds the interest in the property directly receives such profits in the tax year, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is the greater of—

a an amount equal to the amount of the annual profits from the interest in the property (see section 185B(1)), and

b the amount of the deemed profits from the interest in the property for the year (see sections 185B(2) and 185C).

4 If no person who holds the interest in the property directly receives such profits in the tax year, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is the amount of the deemed profits from the interest in the property for the year (see sections 185B(2) and 185C).

5 But where section 185D applies, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is the amount found under subsection (3) or (4) as apportioned to the pension scheme in accordance with that section.

6 Section 185E makes provision for credits against income tax charged under section 239 (scheme sanction charge) in respect of a scheme chargeable payment treated as made by virtue of this section.

185B Annual profits and deemed profits

1 For the purposes of section 185A(3) the amount of the annual profits from the interest in the property is the total amount of profits received from the interest in the tax year—

a by each person who holds the interest directly, and

b at a time when the property is scheme-held taxable property.

2 For the purposes of section 185A(3) and (4) the amount of the deemed profits from the interest in the property for the tax year is—

\frac{DMV}{10} \times \frac{DTP}{DY}

where—

DMV is the deemed market value of the interest in the property for the year (see section 185C),

DTP is the number of days in the year for which the property is scheme-held taxable property, and

DY is the number of days in the year.

3 In this Part “scheme-held taxable property” means property—

a which is taxable property, and

b an interest in which is held by the pension scheme.

185C Deemed market value

1 For the purposes of section 185B(2), where no person who holds the interest in the property directly during the tax year does so by virtue of a lease of residential property, the deemed market value of the interest for the year is—

(MV + UP) \times (1 + RPI)

where—

MV is the opening market value (see subsection (2)),

UP is the total of any unauthorised payments treated as made by the pension scheme under section 174A in relation to the property in the tax year, other than any such payment treated as made by virtue of the property becoming scheme-held taxable property in the year, and

RPI is the figure expressed as a decimal which represents the percentage increase in the retail prices index between the first day in the tax year on which the property is scheme-held taxable property and the last such day (or, if there is no such increase, is nil).

2 In subsection (1) “the opening market value” means—

a if the property is not scheme-held taxable property immediately before the beginning of the tax year, the market value of the interest in the property immediately after the time during the year when the property first becomes scheme-held taxable property, and

b otherwise, the deemed market value of the interest for the previous tax year.

3 For the purposes of section 185B(2), where a person who holds the interest in the property directly during the tax year does so by virtue of a lease of residential property, the deemed market value of the interest for the year is the relevant rental value of the property calculated in accordance with paragraph 34 of Schedule 29A on the following assumptions—

a that the lease was granted when the property first became scheme-held taxable property;

b that the term of the lease is 50 years;

c that a fully commercial rent is payable for the first five years of that term;

d that afterwards the rent is reviewed on an upwards-only basis.

185D Apportionment to pension scheme

1 This section applies where the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly for the whole of the period in the tax year for which the property is scheme-held taxable property.

2 The amount that would otherwise be the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is to be apportioned to the pension scheme by applying paragraphs 41 to 43 of Schedule 29A to it as if it were the total taxable amount in relation to an unauthorised payment treated as made—

a by the pension scheme,

b in connection with the acquisition of the interest in the property, and

c at the end of the last day in the tax year on which the property is scheme-held taxable property.

3 But where—

a the amount found in relation to the pension scheme on the day mentioned in paragraph (c) of subsection (2), differs from

b the amount that would be found in relation to the pension scheme under that subsection on another day in the tax year on which the property is scheme-held taxable property,

the amount to be apportioned to the pension scheme under this section is the average of the amounts produced by applying subsection (2) in relation to the pension scheme on each day in the tax year on which the property is scheme-held taxable property.

185E Credit for tax paid

1 This section applies where—

a the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly in the tax year,

b a person who holds the interest directly receives profits arising from the interest at a time in the tax year when the property is scheme-held taxable property,

c tax is payable on those profits by that person (assuming them to be the highest part of the person's income for the tax year in which they are received), and

d that tax has been paid.

2 The amount determined under subsection (3) is to be allowed as a credit against any income tax charged under section 239 in respect of the scheme chargeable payment treated as made by virtue of the pension scheme holding the interest in the property in the tax year.

3 That amount is a proportion of the tax payable and paid determined by reference to the proportion of the amount that would otherwise be the amount of the scheme chargeable payment that is apportioned to the pension scheme under section 185D.

4 Where—

a by virtue of this section an amount is allowed as a credit against income tax charged under section 239, and

b the amount of tax payable and paid by reference to which the amount of the credit was calculated is subsequently varied,

the amount of the credit is to be varied accordingly, and any necessary adjustments are to be made to give effect to the variation (whether by making assessments or otherwise).

185F Gains from taxable property

1 An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as having made a scheme chargeable payment where—

a in a tax year the pension scheme holds an interest in property which is taxable property or which has been taxable property at any time whilst the interest has been held by the pension scheme (a “taxable interest”),

b a gain is treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of the taxable interest in the tax year, and

c the total amount of gains treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of taxable interests in the tax year exceeds the total amount of losses treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of taxable interests in the tax year.

2 The amount of the scheme chargeable payment is an amount equal to the difference between—

a the total amount of gains treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of taxable interests in the tax year, and

b the total amount of losses treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of taxable interests in the tax year,

(but this is subject to section 185G(10)).

3 A gain or loss is treated as accruing to a pension scheme in respect of a taxable interest in a tax year if—

a by virtue of section 185G a chargeable gain or allowable loss is treated for the purposes of this section as accruing in the tax year to the person who holds the taxable interest directly, or

b in the tax year the pension scheme or another vehicle ceases to hold all or part of an interest in a vehicle through which the pension scheme holds the taxable interest indirectly (see section 185H).

185G Disposal by person holding directly

1 For the purposes of this section the person (“the transferor”) who holds the taxable interest directly is to be treated as holding an asset (a “taxable asset”) consisting of the interest.

2 For the purpose of determining—

a whether the transferor disposes of the taxable asset,

b when such a disposal takes place, and

c whether a chargeable gain or allowable loss is treated for the purposes of section 185F as accruing to the transferor on a disposal of the taxable asset in a tax year and, if so, the amount of the chargeable gain or allowable loss,

TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying to the transferor and the taxable asset, but subject as follows.

3 TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying as if—

a throughout the tax year the transferor were resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled in the United Kingdom,

b no allowable losses accrued to the transferor in any previous tax year,

c for the purposes of section 2A (taper relief) of that Act the transferor were not chargeable to corporation tax in respect of any chargeable gain accruing to the transferor from a disposal of the taxable asset and the taxable asset were at all relevant times a non-business asset,

d notice under section 16(2A) (losses) of that Act were given by the transferor in relation to the year in respect of any loss treated as accruing to the transferor in the year from a disposal of the taxable asset,

e section 45(1) (wasting assets) of that Act did not apply to a disposal of the taxable asset,

f for the purposes of section 53 (indexation allowance) of that Act the transferor were not chargeable to corporation tax in respect of any chargeable gain accruing to the transferor from a disposal of the taxable asset,

g section 171(1) (transfers within a group) of that Act did not apply to a disposal of the taxable asset (so that no election could be made in relation to such a disposal under section 171A (notional transfers within a group) of that Act), and

h sections 222 to 224 (relief on disposal of private residence) of that Act did not apply to a gain on a disposal of the taxable asset by virtue of section 225 (private residence occupied under terms of settlement) of that Act.

4 Where the taxable asset became taxable property whilst held directly by the pension scheme, TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying to a disposal of the asset as if—

a the asset had been acquired by the transferor at the time it became taxable property, and

b the amount deductible under section 38(1)(a) (consideration for acquisition of asset) of that Act in respect of the disposal were the amount of the unauthorised payment treated as made by the pension scheme at that time.

5 Subsections (6) to (8) apply where the pension scheme holds the taxable asset indirectly.

6 TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying to a disposal of the asset as if the amount deductible under section 38(1) of that Act in respect of the disposal were—

a the total amount of unauthorised payments treated as made by the pension scheme in respect of the taxable asset up to the time of the disposal, less

b the amount found under paragraph (a) to the extent that it has already been taken into account in calculating the gains or losses accruing to the pension scheme in respect of the taxable asset by virtue of this section or section 185H.

7 The amount that would otherwise be the amount of the consideration for which the disposal is made (or treated as made) is to be scaled down by applying paragraphs 41 to 43 of Schedule 29A to it as if it were the total taxable amount in relation to an unauthorised payment treated as made—

a by the pension scheme,

b in connection with the acquisition of the interest in the property which constitutes the taxable asset, and

c at the time of the disposal.

8 Subsection (6) is subject to section 42 of TCGA 1992 (part disposals); but in the application of that section in relation to the taxable asset the amount of the consideration for the disposal is to be taken to be that amount apart from subsection (7).

9 Where the taxable asset was not taxable property for the whole period beginning with—

a the time when the pension scheme acquired the asset, or

b if later, the time when the asset first became taxable property,

and ending with the disposal, the amount that would otherwise be the amount of any chargeable gain or allowable loss treated as accruing on a disposal of the asset is to be reduced by reference to the proportion of the period for which the asset was not taxable property.

10 Where—

a the taxable asset is a wasting asset consisting of tangible moveable property, and

b by virtue of section 185F, a loss is treated as accruing to the pension scheme from a disposal of the asset in a tax year,

the loss is only to be allowed as a deduction from any gains treated as accruing to the pension scheme by virtue of that section from other disposals in the year of taxable assets which are wasting assets consisting of tangible moveable property.

185H Disposal of interest in vehicle

1 This section applies for the purposes of section 185F where the pension scheme or another vehicle ceases to hold all or part of an interest in a vehicle through which the pension scheme holds the taxable interest indirectly.

2 The pension scheme is to be treated as disposing of the interest in the vehicle through which the pension scheme holds the taxable interest indirectly.

3 The amount of the gain or loss treated as accruing to the pension scheme on the disposal of the interest in the vehicle is the difference between—

a the deemed consideration received for the disposal of the interest, and

b the deemed consideration given for the interest.

4 The deemed consideration received for the disposal of the interest in the vehicle is the difference between—

a the market value of the taxable interest at the time of the disposal, apportioned to the pension scheme in accordance with subsection (5) immediately before that time, and

b the market value of the taxable interest at the time of the disposal, apportioned to the pension scheme in accordance with subsection (5) immediately after that time.

5 An amount mentioned in subsection (4) is to be apportioned to the pension scheme by applying paragraphs 41 to 43 of Schedule 29A to it as if it were the total taxable amount in relation to an unauthorised payment treated as made—

a by the pension scheme,

b in connection with the acquisition of the taxable interest, and

c at the time at which the amount is to be apportioned to the pension scheme in accordance with that subsection.

6 The deemed consideration given for the interest in the vehicle is—

a the total amount of unauthorised payments treated as made by the pension scheme in respect of the taxable interest up to the time of the disposal, less

185I Credit for tax paid

1 This section applies where by virtue of section 185F a pension scheme is to be treated as making a scheme chargeable payment which is to any extent attributable—

a to a chargeable gain treated by virtue of section 185G as accruing to another person on a disposal of a taxable asset, or

b to a gain treated by virtue of section 185H as accruing to the pension scheme as a result of another person disposing of an interest in a vehicle through which the pension scheme holds a taxable interest indirectly.

2 Where—

a tax is payable in respect of the disposal by the person who makes the disposal, and

b that tax has been paid,

the amount determined under subsection (3) or (4) (as appropriate) is to be allowed as a credit against any income tax charged under section 239 in respect of the scheme chargeable payment.

3 In a case within paragraph (a) of subsection (1), that amount is a proportion of the amount of tax paid and payable determined by reference to the proportion of the amount of consideration for the disposal that is apportioned under section 185G(7).

4 In a case within paragraph (b) of subsection (1), that amount is the amount of tax paid and payable apportioned to the pension scheme by applying paragraphs 41 to 43 of Schedule 29A to it as if it were the total taxable amount in relation to an unauthorised payment treated as made—

a by the pension scheme,

b in connection with an acquisition of the taxable interest by the person disposing of the interest in the vehicle, and

c at the time of the disposal.

5 Where—

a by virtue of this section an amount is allowed as a credit against income tax charged under section 239, and

b the amount of tax payable and paid by reference to which the amount of the credit was calculated is subsequently varied,

the amount of the credit is to be varied accordingly, and any necessary adjustments are to be made to give effect to the variation (whether by making assessments or otherwise).

7In section 186 (relief for income derived from scheme investments), after subsection (2) insert—

8In section 239 (scheme sanction charge), after subsection (5) insert—

9In section 241(1) (scheme chargeable payments) insert at the end

1 The Treasury may make regulations in relation to cases where—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property,

b the pension scheme is non-UK resident, and

c the property is not located in the United Kingdom.

2 The regulations may make provision for a member of the pension scheme for the purposes of whose arrangement the interest is held to be liable to the scheme sanction charge so far as relating to a scheme chargeable payment treated as made by the pension scheme—

a under section 185A (income from taxable property) by virtue of the pension scheme holding the interest in the property, or

b under section 185F (gains from taxable property) by virtue of a gain treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of the interest in the property.

3 The regulations may make provision—

a for the member to be liable to all of the scheme sanction charge arising by virtue of the scheme chargeable payment or to the charge to such extent as the regulations may provide,

b for the charge to be apportioned between members of the pension scheme where the interest in the property is held for the purposes of more than one arrangement under the pension scheme, and

c for the scheme administrator not to be liable to the scheme sanction charge or not to be liable to the charge to such extent as the regulations may provide.

4 The regulations may make provision for cases where—

a a member of a pension scheme would otherwise be liable to the scheme sanction charge arising by virtue of a scheme chargeable payment treated as made by the pension scheme under section 185F in a tax year,

b the member does not meet such conditions as to residence in the tax year as the regulations may prescribe,

c the member meets those conditions in a subsequent tax year, and

SCHEDULE 29A

Taxable property held by investment-regulated pension schemes

Section 174A

Part 1 Investment-regulated pension schemes

Schemes other than occupational pension schemes

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a registered pension scheme which is not an occupational pension scheme is an investment-regulated pension scheme if one or more of its members meets the condition in sub-paragraph (2).

2 The condition is that either—

a the member, or

b a person related to the member,

is or has been able (directly or indirectly) to direct, influence or advise on the manner of investment of any of the sums and assets held for the purposes of an arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member.

3 In this Part “the taxable property provisions” means—

a section 173(7A) (exception from benefit charge where taxable property held by investment-regulated pension scheme),

b section 174A and this Schedule,

c sections 185A to 185I (income and gains from taxable property),

d section 273ZA (member liability for scheme sanction charge where pension scheme non-UK resident), and

e paragraphs 37A to 37I of Schedule 36 (transitional provisions).

Occupational pension schemes

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a registered pension scheme which is an occupational pension scheme is an investment-regulated pension scheme if—

a there are 50 or fewer members of the pension scheme, and one or more of those members meets the condition in sub-paragraph (2), or

b at least 10% of the members of the pension scheme meet that condition.

2 The condition is that either—

a the member, or

b a person related to the member,

is or has been able (directly or indirectly) to direct, influence or advise on the manner of investment of any of the sums and assets held for the purposes of the pension scheme.

Separate self-controlled section

1 This paragraph applies in the case of an arrangement under a registered pension scheme if—

a the pension scheme is an occupational pension scheme,

b the pension scheme is not an investment-regulated pension scheme by virtue of paragraph 2, and

c one or more members of the pension scheme meet the condition in sub-paragraph (2).

2 The condition is that either—

a the member, or

b a person related to the member,

is or has been able (directly or indirectly) to direct, influence or advise on the manner of investment of any sums or assets which are linked to an arrangement relating to the member.

3 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) sums or assets are linked to an arrangement relating to a member if—

a they are held for the purposes of an arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member, but

b they are not held for the purposes of the arrangement merely by virtue of a just and reasonable apportionment of the sums and assets held for the purposes of the pension scheme.

4 Where this paragraph applies the arrangement is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as if it were an investment-regulated pension scheme.

5 The Treasury may by regulations—

a amend sub-paragraph (3), and

b provide for any of the provisions of this Part to apply to the arrangement with modifications.

Related persons

1 For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule a person is related to a member of a pension scheme if—

a the person and the member are connected persons, or

b the person acts on behalf of the member or a person connected with the member.

2 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1).

Arrangements

5Where sums or assets held for the purposes of an investment-regulated pension scheme—

a are held otherwise than for the purposes of the administration or management of the pension scheme, and

b would not, apart from this paragraph, be treated as held for the purposes of any arrangement relating to a member under the pension scheme,

for the purposes of the taxable property provisions the sums or assets are to be treated as held for the purposes of the arrangements under the pension scheme by reference to the respective rights under the scheme of the members to which the arrangements relate.

Part 2 Taxable property

Taxable property

6For the purposes of the taxable property provisions property is taxable property if—

a it is residential property (see paragraphs 7 to 10), or

b it is tangible moveable property (but subject to paragraph 11).

Residential property

1 Subject as follows, for the purposes of the taxable property provisions “residential property” means—

a a building that is used or suitable for use as a dwelling,

b any land consisting of, or forming part of, the garden or grounds of such a building (including a building on any such land) which is used or intended for use for a purpose connected with the enjoyment of the building,

c hotel or similar accommodation (but see paragraph 14(2)), or

d a beach hut,

in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

2 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions “building” includes—

a a structure, and

b part of a building or structure.

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a building used for any of the following purposes is not residential property—

a a home or other institution providing residential accommodation for children;

b a hall of residence for students;

c a home or other institution providing residential accommodation with personal care for persons in need of personal care by reason of old age, disability, past or present dependence on alcohol or drugs or past or present mental disorder;

d a hospital or hospice;

e a prison or similar establishment.

2 Where—

a a building is used for a purpose specified in sub-paragraph (1),

b a building which is not in use was, immediately before it ceased to be in use, used for such a purpose, or

c a building which has never been in use is more suitable for use for such a purpose than for use for any other purpose,

no account is to be taken for the purposes of the taxable property provisions of its suitability for use as a dwelling.

1 The Treasury may by order amend this Part of this Schedule to specify descriptions of buildings which are, or are not, to be treated as residential property.

2 An order under this paragraph which amends this Part of this Schedule in a way that results in buildings becoming treated as not being residential property may provide that the amendment has effect from a date earlier than that on which the order was made.

1 Residential property is not taxable property in relation to a pension scheme if Condition A or B is met.

2 Condition A is met if the property is (or, if unoccupied, is to be) occupied by an employee who—

a is neither a member of the pension scheme nor connected with such a member,

b is not connected with the employer, and

c is required as a condition of employment to occupy the property.

3 Condition B is met if the property is (or, if unoccupied, is to be)—

a occupied by a person who is neither a member of the pension scheme nor connected with such a member, and

b used in connection with business premises held as an investment of the pension scheme.

4 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.

Tangible moveable property

1 The Treasury may by order provide that, for the purposes of the taxable property provisions, any specified description of tangible moveable property is treated as not being taxable property.

2 An order under this paragraph may include provision having effect in relation to times before it is made.

Part 3 Acquisition and holding of taxable property

Acquisition

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions an investment-regulated pension scheme acquires an interest in property if it comes to hold the interest.

2 Sub-paragraph (1) applies however the pension scheme comes to hold the interest, whether that is—

a by act of the parties to a transaction,

b by order of a court or other authority,

c by or under any statutory provision, or

d by operation of law.

3 For instances of deemed acquisition, see paragraphs 27 to 29.

Holding

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions an investment-regulated pension scheme holds an interest in property if the scheme holds the interest directly or indirectly.

2 In the taxable property provisions references to a person holding an interest in property include, in the case of—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme,

b an arrangement under a pension scheme, or

c a trust which is not a pension scheme,

references to the interest in the property being held for the purposes of the pension scheme, the arrangement or the trust.

Direct holding

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a person holds an interest in property directly if the person (whether jointly, in common or alone)—

a holds the property or any estate, interest, right or power in or over the property,

b has the right to use, or participate in arrangements relating to the use of, that property or a description of property to which that property belongs, or

c has the benefit of any obligation, restriction or condition affecting the value of any estate, interest, right or power in or over the property,

under the law of any country or territory.

2 But a person does not hold an interest in residential property consisting of hotel accommodation directly unless—

a the person holds part only of the hotel accommodation or any estate, interest, right or power in or over such a part and, as a result, any person has a right to use or occupy that or any other part of the hotel accommodation, or

b the person has a right to use, or participate in arrangements relating to the use of, part only of the hotel accommodation or a description of property to which that part belongs.

3 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a person holds an interest in property directly if the person is entitled (whether jointly, in common or alone) to receive payments determined by reference to the value of or the income from the property.

4 Sub-paragraph (3) is subject to paragraph 15.

Exception to direct holding

1 A person does not hold an interest in taxable property directly by virtue of paragraph 14(3) where Conditions A to C are met.

2 Condition A is that—

a the person is entitled to receive the payments by virtue of a policy of life insurance, a contract for a life annuity or a capital redemption policy, and

b the policy or contract is issued by an insurance company.

3 Condition B is that the property—

a does not constitute a linked asset, or

b has been appropriated by the insurance company to an internal linked fund.

4 Condition C is that—

a where the person is an occupational pension scheme, the policy or contract, either by itself or taken together with one or more associated policies, does not entitle the pension scheme, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, to receive payments representing 10% or more of the market value of or the income from the property,

b where the person is a pension scheme other than an occupational pension scheme, the policy or contract, either by itself or taken together with one or more associated policies, does not entitle an arrangement under the pension scheme, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, to receive such payments, or

c otherwise, the policy or contract does not entitle the person to receive such payments.

5 But for the purposes of applying paragraph 14(3) for determining whether a pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property directly or indirectly, this paragraph does not apply if the purpose or one of the purposes for which the person holds rights under the policy or contract is to enable a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member to occupy or use the property.

6 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) “associated policy” means a policy or contract which entitles an associated person to receive payments determined by reference to the value of or the income from the property.

7 For the definition of “associated person” see paragraph 30.

8 For the purposes of this paragraph—

“capital redemption policy” means a contract made in the course of a capital redemption business, as defined in section 458(3) of ICTA;
“internal linked fund” has the meaning given by—
1. the Interim Prudential Sourcebook for Insurers made by the Financial Services Authority under FISMA 2000, or
2. rules made by the Authority under that Act and having effect for the time being in place of the Sourcebook; and
“linked asset” means an asset of the insurance company which is identified in its records as an asset by reference to the value of which benefits provided for under a policy or contract are to be determined.

9 For the purposes of this paragraph an annuity is a life annuity if it is—

a granted for consideration in money or money's worth in the ordinary course of a business of granting annuities on human life, and

b payable for a term ending at a time ascertainable only by reference to the end of a human life,

and for this purpose it does not matter that the annuity may in some circumstances end before or after the life.

Indirect holding

1 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a person holds an interest in property indirectly if the person does not hold the interest directly but (whether jointly, in common or alone)—

a holds an interest in a person who holds the interest in the property directly, or

b holds an interest in a person who holds the interest in the property indirectly by virtue of paragraph (a) or this paragraph.

2 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a person holds an interest in another person if—

a the person holds an interest, right or power in or over that other person, or

b the person lends money to that other person to fund the acquisition by that other person of an interest in taxable property.

3 But sub-paragraph (2)(b) does not apply where—

a the loan is an authorised employer loan made by a pension scheme to or in respect of a sponsoring employer (see section 179),

b the interest in the property is acquired so that the property may be used for the purposes of a trade, profession or vocation carried on by the sponsoring employer or for the purposes of the sponsoring employer's administration or management, and

c after the acquisition, the property is not occupied or used by a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member.

4 In the taxable property provisions references to a person holding an interest in another person include, in the case of—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme,

b an arrangement under a pension scheme, or

c a trust which is not a pension scheme,

references to the interest in the other person being held for the purposes of the pension scheme, the arrangement or the trust.

5 Paragraphs 17 to 19 explain what it means for a person to hold an interest in another person by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(a) in a case where that other person is a company, collective investment scheme or trust.

6 The Treasury may by regulations—

a amend paragraphs 17 to 19, or

b amend this Part of this Schedule for the purposes of explaining what it means for a person to hold an interest, right or power in or over another person in other cases.

7 This paragraph is subject to paragraphs 20 to 26.

1 For the purposes of paragraph 16 a person holds an interest in a company if—

a the person has, or is entitled to acquire, share capital or voting rights in the company,

b the person has, or is entitled to acquire, a right to receive or participate in distributions of the company,

c the person is entitled to secure that income or assets (whether present or future) of the company will be applied directly or indirectly for the person's benefit, or

d the person, either alone or together with other persons, has control of the company.

2 In sub-paragraph (1) references to a person being entitled to do anything apply where a person—

a is currently entitled to do it at a future date, or

b will at a future date be entitled to do it.

3 In sub-paragraph (1) “control” has the meaning given by section 416 of ICTA.

1 For the purposes of paragraph 16 a person holds an interest in a collective investment scheme if the person is a participant in the scheme.

2 In this Schedule—

a “collective investment scheme” has the meaning given by section 235 of FISMA 2000, and

b “participant”, in relation to such a scheme, has the meaning given by subsection (2) of that section.

1 For the purposes of paragraph 16 a pension scheme holds an interest in a trust if Condition A or B is met.

2 Condition A is that—

a the pension scheme has a relevant interest in the trust,

b the pension scheme, a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member has made a payment to the trust on or after the acquisition of the interest, and

c the payment is not one to which sub-paragraph (7) applies.

3 Condition B is that—

a a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member has a relevant interest in the trust,

b the pension scheme has made a payment to the trust on or after the acquisition of the interest, and

c the payment is not one to which sub-paragraph (7) applies.

4 For the purposes of applying paragraph 16 for determining whether a pension scheme holds an interest in property indirectly, a person other than the pension scheme holds an interest in a trust if —

a the person has a relevant interest in the trust,

b the person has made a payment to the trust on or after the acquisition of the interest, and

c the payment is not one to which sub-paragraph (7) applies.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph a person has a relevant interest in a trust if—

a any property which may at any time be comprised in the trust or any derived property is, or will or may become, payable to or applicable for the benefit of the person in any circumstances, or

b the person enjoys a benefit deriving directly or indirectly from any property which is comprised in the trust or any derived property.

6 In sub-paragraph (5) “derived property”, in relation to any property, means income from that property or any other property directly or indirectly representing proceeds of, or income from, that property.

7 This sub-paragraph applies to a payment if—

a it is made as part of an arm's length transaction by which property or a benefit is to be provided in return for the payment, and

b it is made otherwise than for the purposes of enabling a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member to occupy or use any property.

8 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.

9 This paragraph does not apply in relation to a unit trust scheme within the meaning of section 237(1) of FISMA 2000 (but see paragraph 18).

Exceptions to indirect holding

1 A pension scheme does not hold an interest in property indirectly through a vehicle through which the pension scheme would otherwise hold the interest in the property indirectly where one of the following paragraphs applies in relation to the vehicle, and, in particular—

a paragraph 21 makes provision in relation to holding through vehicles which carry on trading activities,

b paragraph 22 makes provision in relation to holding through Real Estate Investment Trusts,

c paragraphs 23 to 25 make provision in relation to holding through other kinds of vehicles, and

d paragraph 26 makes provision in relation to holding through a vehicle which holds the interest in the property directly by virtue of paragraph 14(3) (receipt of payments determined by reference to value of or income from property).

2 In the taxable property provisions “vehicle”, in relation to a pension scheme which holds an interest in taxable property indirectly, means a person through whom the pension scheme holds the interest in the property.

3 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a person holds an interest in a vehicle directly if the person holds an interest of the kind mentioned in paragraph 16(2) in the vehicle.

4 For the purposes of the taxable property provisions a person holds an interest in a vehicle indirectly if the person does not hold the interest directly but—

a holds an interest in a person who holds an interest in the vehicle directly, or

b holds an interest in a person who holds the interest in the vehicle indirectly by virtue of paragraph (a) or this paragraph.

1 This paragraph applies to a vehicle in which a pension scheme directly or indirectly holds an interest where—

a the vehicle's main activity is the carrying on of a trade, profession or vocation,

b the pension scheme does not, whether alone or together with one or more associated persons, have control of the vehicle, and

c neither a member of the pension scheme nor a person connected with such a member is a controlling director of the vehicle or any other vehicle which holds an interest in the vehicle directly or indirectly.

2 But this paragraph does not apply if the purpose or one of the purposes for which the pension scheme holds the interest in the vehicle is to enable a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member to occupy or use the property.

3 In sub-paragraph (1)—

a “control” has the same meaning as in section 416 of ICTA (reading references in that section to a company as references to the vehicle and references to associates as including associated persons), and

b “controlling director”, in relation to a vehicle, means a director to whom paragraph (b) of section 417(5) of that Act applies (reading the reference to associates in that paragraph as including associated persons).

4 For the purposes of this paragraph a pension scheme or an arrangement under a pension scheme has control of a vehicle if the pension scheme or the arrangement holds such interest as would, if the pension scheme or the arrangement were a person, mean that the person had control of the vehicle.

5 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.

6 For the definition of “associated person” see paragraph 30.

1 This paragraph applies to a vehicle in which a pension scheme directly or indirectly holds an interest where the vehicle is—

a a company to which Part 4 of the Finance Act 2006 (Real Estate Investment Trusts) applies, or

b a member of a group to which that Part applies.

3 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2).

1 This paragraph applies to a vehicle in which a pension scheme directly or indirectly holds an interest where—

a Conditions A to C are met in relation to the vehicle, and

b paragraph 24 applies to the pension scheme's interest in the vehicle.

2 Condition A is that—

a the total value of the assets held directly by the vehicle is at least £1 million, or

b the vehicle holds directly at least three assets which consist of an interest in residential property,

and no asset held directly by the vehicle which consists of an interest in taxable property has a value which exceeds 40% of the total value of the assets held directly by the vehicle.

3 Condition B is that, if the vehicle is a company—

a it is resident in the United Kingdom and is not a close company, or

b it is not resident in the United Kingdom and would not be a close company if it were resident in the United Kingdom.

4 Condition C is that the vehicle does not have as its main purpose, or one of its main purposes, the direct or indirect holding of an animal or animals used for sporting purposes.

5 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)—

a assets must be valued in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice,

b no account is to be taken of liabilities secured against or otherwise relating to assets (whether generally or specifically), and

c where generally accepted accounting practice offers a choice of valuation between cost basis and fair value, fair value must be used.

6 The Treasury may by order—

a increase the amount for the time being specified in paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (2), or

b increase the percentage for the time being specified in that sub-paragraph.

1 For the purposes of paragraph 23 this paragraph applies to the interest held directly or indirectly by a pension scheme in a vehicle where—

a Condition A is met, and

b Condition B or C is met.

2 Condition A is that the pension scheme does not hold the interest in the vehicle for the purpose of enabling a member of the pension scheme or a person connected with such a member to occupy or use the property.

3 Condition B is that—

a the pension scheme is an occupational pension scheme, and

b the pension scheme does not, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, directly or indirectly hold an interest in the vehicle to which sub-paragraph (5) applies.

4 Condition C is that—

a the pension scheme is not an occupational pension scheme, and

b no arrangement under the pension scheme, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, directly or indirectly holds an interest in the vehicle to which sub-paragraph (5) applies.

5 This sub-paragraph applies to the following interests—

a 10% or more of the share capital or issued share capital of the vehicle;

b 10% or more of the voting rights in the vehicle;

c a right to receive 10% or more of the income of the vehicle;

d such interest in the vehicle as gives an entitlement to 10% or more of the amounts distributed on a distribution in relation to the vehicle;

e such interest in the vehicle as gives an entitlement to 10% or more of the assets of the vehicle on a winding-up or in any other circumstances;

f such interest in the vehicle as gives rise to income or gains from a specific property.

6 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.

7 For the definition of “associated person” see paragraph 30.

1 This paragraph contains provisions supplementary to paragraph 24.

2 Where—

a paragraph 23(1) does not apply in relation to a vehicle in which the pension scheme directly or indirectly holds an interest merely because Condition C in paragraph 24(4) is not met in relation to an arrangement under the pension scheme, and

b accordingly, the pension scheme holds an interest in property indirectly through the vehicle,

the interest in the property is to be treated as held through the vehicle for the purposes of another arrangement under the pension scheme only if that arrangement, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, directly or indirectly holds an interest in the vehicle to which paragraph 24(5) applies.

3 Sub-paragraph (4) applies for determining the percentage of an interest held by a person in a vehicle at a time when the person holds that interest indirectly.

4 That percentage is equal to the percentage of the total taxable amount that would be apportioned to the person under paragraphs 41 to 43—

a where the person is not the pension scheme, if the person were the pension scheme, and

b in any case, if the person were treated as making an unauthorised payment by virtue of the vehicle coming to hold the interest in the property directly at that time.

5 For the definition of “associated person” see paragraph 30.

1 This paragraph applies to a vehicle in which a pension scheme directly or indirectly holds an interest where—

a the vehicle holds the interest in the property directly by virtue of paragraph 14(3) merely because it does not meet Condition C in paragraph 15(4), and

b sub-paragraph (2) applies in relation to the pension scheme.

2 This sub-paragraph applies in relation to the pension scheme if—

a where the pension scheme is an occupational pension scheme, the pension scheme is not, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, deemed to be entitled to 10% or more of the market value of or the income from the property, or

b where the pension scheme is not an occupational pension scheme, no arrangement under the pension scheme, either alone or together with one or more associated persons, is deemed to be so entitled.

3 For the purposes of this paragraph the percentage of the market value of or the income from the property to which a person is deemed to be entitled at any time is—

IG \times TTA

where—

IG is the percentage of the market value of or the income from the property to which the vehicle that holds the interest in the property directly is entitled at that time, and

TTA is the percentage of the total taxable amount that would be apportioned to the person at that time on the assumptions mentioned in sub-paragraph (4).

4 Those assumptions are—

a if the person is not the pension scheme, that the person is the pension scheme, and

b in any case, that the person is treated as making an unauthorised payment by virtue of the vehicle coming to hold the interest in the property directly at that time.

5 For the definition of “associated person” see paragraph 30.

Deemed acquisition

27Where—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme holds an interest in property which is not taxable property, and

b that property becomes taxable property otherwise than by reason of its conversion or adaptation as residential property,

the pension scheme is treated for the purposes of the taxable property provisions as acquiring an interest in the property.

1 Subject to paragraph 29, this paragraph applies where—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property indirectly, and

b there is an increase in the extent of the interest held directly in a vehicle by the pension scheme or another vehicle.

2 The pension scheme is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as—

a having disposed of the interest in the property immediately before the increase in the extent of the interest in the vehicle, and

b having re-acquired the interest immediately afterwards.

3 The extent of the interest held directly in a vehicle by a person is to be determined for the purposes of this paragraph and paragraph 29 in accordance with paragraphs 42 and 43.

1 Where there is an increase in the extent of the interest held directly in the vehicle otherwise than by reason of the acquisition of a further interest in the vehicle, paragraph 28 does not apply unless the condition in sub-paragraph (2) is met.

2 The condition is that the event by which the extent of the interest held directly in the vehicle increases forms part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is—

a to enable the amount of the unauthorised payment treated as arising on the original acquisition of the interest in the property by the pension scheme to be lower than it otherwise would have been, or

b to prevent an unauthorised payment from being treated as made on that original acquisition.

3 Unless that condition is met, the increase in the extent of the interest is also to be disregarded for the purposes of paragraphs 24 to 26.

Associated persons

1 For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule “associated person”, in relation to a pension scheme, means—

a any member of the pension scheme,

b any person connected with such a member,

c any arrangement (under that or another pension scheme) relating to a member of the pension scheme,

d any arrangement (under that or another pension scheme) relating to a person connected with such a member, and

e any associated pension scheme.

2 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a pension scheme is associated with another pension scheme if members representing at least 10% by value of one pension scheme are members of the other pension scheme or connected with such members.

3 The percentage by value represented by a member of a pension scheme is—

\frac{AM}{AA} \times 100

where—

AM is an amount equal to the aggregate of the amount of the sums and the market value of the assets held for the purposes of an arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member, and

AA is an amount equal to the aggregate of the amount of the sums and the market value of the assets held for the purposes of the pension scheme.

4 For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule “associated person”, in relation to an arrangement under a pension scheme, means—

a the member of the pension scheme to which that arrangement relates,

b any person connected with such a member,

c any arrangement (under that or another pension scheme) relating to a member of the pension scheme to which that arrangement relates, and

d any arrangement (under that or another pension scheme) relating to a person connected with such a member.

Part 4 Amount and timing of unauthorised payment

Introduction

1 This Part of this Schedule has effect for determining—

a the amount of an unauthorised payment treated as made to a member of an investment-regulated pension scheme by virtue of section 174A, and

b the time when such a payment is treated as made.

2 The amount is determined by—

a finding the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment (see paragraphs 32 to 40),

b apportioning that amount to the pension scheme (see paragraphs 41 to 43),

c in a case to which paragraph 28 applies (acquisition etc of further interest in vehicle), making an adjustment under paragraph 44 to the amount mentioned in paragraph (b), and

d apportioning that amount to the member to whom the payment is treated as made in accordance with paragraph 45.

Acquisition: basic rules

1 This paragraph applies to a case within subsection (1) of section 174A (acquisition of an interest in taxable property).

2 The unauthorised payment is treated as made when the interest in the property is acquired by the pension scheme.

3 If the interest in the property is acquired because the pension scheme or another person comes to hold the interest directly, the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is—

a the amount of consideration, in money or money's worth, given directly or indirectly for the interest, plus

b the amount of any fees and other costs incurred in connection with the acquisition.

4 Sub-paragraph (3) is subject to paragraphs 33 to 35.

5 If the interest in the property is acquired because the pension scheme or another person comes to hold an interest in a person who already holds the interest in the property directly or indirectly, the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is—

a the market value, at the date the interest in the person is acquired, of the interest in the property held by the person who holds it directly, or

b if the interest in the property is a lease at a rent, the amount of consideration that would be treated as given by the person for the lease by virtue of paragraph 34 if it were assigned to the person at that time.

6 If the interest in the property is treated as acquired by the pension scheme by virtue of paragraph 27 or 28, the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is—

a the market value, at the date the interest is treated as acquired, of the interest in the property held by the person who holds it directly, or

7 This paragraph is subject to paragraph 36.

Acquisition: further provisions

1 This paragraph applies where—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme acquires an interest in taxable property because it acquires a chargeable interest in the property within the meaning of section 48(1) of the Finance Act 2003,

b the interest is acquired because the pension scheme or another person comes to hold the interest directly, and

c the whole or part of the consideration for the interest is consideration other than rent.

2 The provisions of the Finance Act 2003 listed in sub-paragraph (3) apply for determining the amount of the consideration (or the part that is not rent) as they apply for determining the amount of chargeable consideration for a land transaction for the purposes of Part 4 of that Act.

3 Those provisions are—

a paragraphs 2 to 8 and 9 to 16 of Schedule 4 (chargeable consideration);

b section 51 (contingent, uncertain or unascertained consideration);

c section 52 (annuities etc: chargeable consideration limited to twelve years' payments).

4 The Treasury may by regulations provide—

a for those provisions to apply with modifications to cases to which this paragraph applies, and

b for any other provisions of Part 4 of the Finance Act 2003 to apply (with or without modifications) to such cases.

1 This paragraph applies where—

b the interest is acquired because the pension scheme or another person comes to hold the interest directly, and

c the whole or part of the consideration for the acquisition is rent.

2 The amount of the consideration (or the part that is rent) is to be taken to be the relevant rental value of the property; and paragraphs 2(4)(a), 3 and 8 of Schedule 5 (rent) to the Finance Act 2003 apply for determining that value.

3 The following provisions of the Finance Act 2003 apply for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) for determining the amount of rent payable as they apply for determining the amount of rent payable under a lease to which that Act applies—

a paragraphs 2, 5 to 7A, 9 and 16 of Schedule 17A (further provisions relating to leases);

b (subject to the provisions mentioned in paragraph (a)) the provisions mentioned in paragraph 33(3).

4 The Treasury may by regulations provide—

a for the provisions mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) or (3) to apply with modifications to cases to which this paragraph applies, and

b for any other provisions of Part 4 of the Finance Act 2003 to apply (with or without modifications) to such cases.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph where on an assignment of a lease the assignee assumes the obligation to pay rent, the assumption counts as consideration for the assignment.

1 This paragraph applies where—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme acquires an interest in taxable property because the pension scheme or another person comes to hold the interest directly,

b the interest is acquired for less than its market value, and

c immediately before the acquisition the interest was held by a registered pension scheme which was not an investment-regulated pension scheme.

2 This paragraph also applies where—

a an investment-regulated pension scheme acquires an interest in taxable property because the pension scheme or another person comes to hold the interest directly,

b the interest is acquired for less than its market value, and

c tax relief is available under section 188 or 196 in respect of the transfer of the interest.

3 The amount of the consideration for the interest is treated as—

a the market value, at the date the interest is acquired, of the interest in the property held by the person who holds it directly, or

1 The Treasury may by regulations make provision with respect to—

a what is to count as consideration for the acquisition of an interest in taxable property, and

b the determination of the amount of such consideration.

2 The Treasury may by regulations make provision with respect to the determination of the market value of an interest held in taxable property.

3 Regulations under this paragraph may, in particular, make provision for cases where an investment-regulated pension scheme acquires—

a an interest in taxable property outside the United Kingdom,

b a licence to use or occupy taxable property, or

c an interest in taxable property which is tangible moveable property.

4 Regulations under this paragraph may—

a amend this Part of this Schedule, and

b include provision having effect in relation to times before they are made.

Post-acquisition unauthorised payments

1 The Treasury may by regulations make provision for an investment-regulated pension scheme which has acquired an interest in taxable property to be treated as making one or more further unauthorised payments where—

a the amount of consideration for the acquisition was determined on the basis of a reasonable estimate, and the actual amount of the consideration turns out to be higher than the estimated amount,

b in the case of an interest which is a lease, there is a variation in the rent payable under the lease, or

c in such a case, the amount of consideration for the acquisition was determined on an assumption about the length of the term of the lease, and the lease continues after the end of the term.

2 Regulations under this paragraph may—

a amend section 174A or this Schedule (apart from this paragraph), and

b include provision having effect in relation to times before they are made.

3 References in the taxable property provisions to unauthorised payments treated as made under section 174A include references to payments treated as made under regulations under this paragraph.

Improvement of taxable property

1 This paragraph applies to a case within subsection (2) of section 174A (improvement of taxable property).

2 An unauthorised payment is treated as made when a payment is made in connection with the improvement works.

3 The total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is the amount of the payment mentioned in sub-paragraph (2).

Conversion or adaptation as residential property

1 This paragraph applies to a case within subsection (3) of section 174A (conversion or adaptation as residential property).

2 The unauthorised payment is treated as made on the occurrence of whichever of the following first occurs after the property has become residential property—

a the substantial completion of the works to convert or adapt the property;

b the interest in the property ceasing to be held by the pension scheme.

3 But if the property becomes residential property after the end of the period of three years beginning with the date on which the first payment was made in connection with the works to convert or adapt the property, the unauthorised payment is treated as made when the property becomes residential property.

4 If the works began before the end of the period of twelve months beginning with the acquisition of the interest in the property by the pension scheme, the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is—

a the amount of consideration for the interest, determined in accordance with paragraphs 32 to 36, plus

b the development costs (see sub-paragraph (7)).

5 If the works began after the end of that period, the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is—

a the relevant market value (see sub-paragraph (6)), plus

b the development costs (see sub-paragraph (7)).

6 In this paragraph “the relevant market value” means—

a the market value, at the date the works began, of the interest in the property held by the person who holds it directly, or

7 In this paragraph “the development costs” means the total cost of the works to convert or adapt the property at the time when the unauthorised payment is treated as made.

8 Where, at the time the unauthorised payment is treated as made—

a an amount will be payable for the works only if some uncertain future event occurs, or

b an amount will cease to be payable for the works if some uncertain future event occurs,

the development costs are to be determined on the assumption that the amount will be payable or, as the case may be, will not cease to be payable.

9 Where, at that time, an amount payable for the works—

a depends on uncertain future events, or

b cannot otherwise be ascertained,

that amount is to be determined for the purposes of sub-paragraph (7) on the basis of a reasonable estimate.

1 This paragraph applies to a case within subsection (3) of section 174A (conversion or adaptation as residential property).

2 This paragraph applies if —

a sub-paragraph (8) of paragraph 39 has effect when an unauthorised payment is treated as made under that paragraph,

b an amount estimated under that sub-paragraph later becomes ascertained, and

c the ascertained amount is more than the estimated amount.

3 An unauthorised payment is treated as made when the amount becomes ascertained.

4 The total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment is the difference between the ascertained amount and the estimated amount.

5 References in the taxable property provisions to unauthorised payments treated as made under section 174A include references to payments treated as made under this paragraph.

Apportionment to pension scheme

1 This paragraph applies for determining—

a whether the amount of an unauthorised payment treated as made by an investment-regulated pension scheme under section 174A consists of the whole of the total taxable amount in relation to the payment, and

b if not, how much of the total taxable amount comprises the amount of the unauthorised payment.

2 The pension scheme is treated as making an unauthorised payment equal to the whole of the total taxable amount where Condition A, B or C is met.

3 Condition A is that the pension scheme directly holds the interest in the taxable property which gives rise to the unauthorised payment.

4 Condition B is that—

a the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly through one vehicle, and

b that vehicle is wholly owned by the pension scheme.

5 Condition C is that—

a the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly through more than one vehicle (a “chain” of vehicles), and

b each vehicle in the chain is wholly owned by another vehicle in the chain or by the pension scheme.

6 Where—

a the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly through one vehicle, and

b the vehicle is not wholly owned by the pension scheme,

the amount of the unauthorised payment is a proportion of the total taxable amount determined by reference to the extent of the pension scheme's interest in the vehicle.

7 Where—

a the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly through one or more chains of vehicles, and

b one or more vehicles in such a chain is not wholly owned by another vehicle in the chain or by the pension scheme,

the amount of the unauthorised payment is the amount or the total of all the amounts found under sub-paragraph (8) for each chain through which the pension scheme owns the interest in the property.

8 The amount is a proportion of the total taxable amount determined by reference to the extent of the interest held directly by the pension scheme or another vehicle in the chain in each vehicle in the chain—

a starting with the vehicle which holds the interest in the property directly, and

b ending with the vehicle in which the pension scheme directly holds an interest.

9 For the purposes of this paragraph a vehicle is wholly owned by a person if no other person directly holds an interest in the vehicle.

10 This paragraph is subject to paragraph 44.

1 References in this Schedule to the extent of an interest held directly by a person in a vehicle are references to the proportion of the interests of everyone who directly holds an interest in the vehicle which on a just and reasonable apportionment is represented by that interest.

2 Sub-paragraph (1) is subject to paragraph 43, which explains how to determine the extent of a person's interest in a vehicle for the purposes of the taxable property provisions where the vehicle is a company.

3 The Treasury may by regulations—

a amend paragraph 43, or

b amend this Part of this Schedule for the purposes of explaining how to determine the extent of a person's interest in a vehicle in other cases.

4 Regulations under sub-paragraph (3) may include provision having effect in relation to times before they are made.

1 For the purposes of this Schedule, and except in a case to which sub-paragraph (3) applies, the extent of a person's interest in a company is determined by reference to whichever of the following gives the person the greatest interest in the company—

a the percentage of the share capital or issued share capital of the company owned by the person;

b the percentage of the voting rights in the company owned by the person;

c the percentage of all the income of the company to which the person has a right;

d the percentage of the amounts distributed on a distribution in relation to the company to which the person has a right;

e the percentage of the assets of the company to which the person has a right on a winding-up or in any other circumstances;

f where the person has a right to a percentage of a particular asset or description of assets of the company, or of the income or gains from such an asset or description (either generally or in particular circumstances), that percentage or the highest of all the percentages found under this paragraph.

2 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a person is treated as owning or having a right to anything which the person will only acquire—

a at some future date,

b if the person exercises a right to acquire it, or

c if some other uncertain future event occurs or does not occur.

3 Where—

a a person has an interest in a company as a result of lending the company money to fund the acquisition of an interest in taxable property, and

b this sub-paragraph gives the person a greater interest in the company than any interest given by sub-paragraph (1),

for the purposes of this Schedule the extent of the person's interest in the company is determined by the proportion that the value of the loan bears to the total value of the assets held directly by the company.

4 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—

a assets must be valued in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice,

b no account is to be taken of liabilities secured against or otherwise relating to assets (whether generally or specifically), and

c where generally accepted accounting practice offers a choice of valuation between cost basis and fair value, fair value must be used.

Deemed acquisition: adjustment

1 This paragraph applies where an investment-regulated pension scheme is treated as acquiring an interest in taxable property by virtue of paragraph 28 (increase in extent of interest in vehicle).

2 The amount of the unauthorised payment treated as made by the pension scheme is—

UP - UPB

Where—

UP is the amount that would have been the amount of the unauthorised payment apart from this paragraph; and

UPB is the amount that would have been the amount of any unauthorised payment treated as made by the pension scheme if it had acquired the interest in the property immediately before the increase in the extent of the interest in the vehicle (assuming the total taxable amount in relation to the unauthorised payment to be that given under paragraph 32(5)).

Apportionment to member

1 This paragraph has effect for determining—

a whether the whole of an unauthorised payment treated as made by a pension scheme is to be treated as made to a member of the scheme, and

b if not, how much of the unauthorised payment is to be treated as made to the member.

2 If the interest in the taxable property which gives rise to the unauthorised payment is held by the pension scheme for the purposes of—

a the arrangement under the pension scheme relating to the member, and

b at least one other arrangement under the pension scheme,

the unauthorised payment is to be apportioned on a just and reasonable basis between all of the arrangements for the purposes of which the interest in the property is held.

3 Otherwise, the whole of the unauthorised payment is to be treated as made to the member.

1 Schedule 34 (non-UK schemes: application of certain charges) is amended as follows.

2 In paragraph 1 (member payment charges)—

a in sub-paragraph (3)(a), after “charge” insert “ (except as imposed by virtue of section 174A (taxable property held by investment-regulated pension schemes)) ”, and

b in sub-paragraph (4), after “Part” insert “ (apart from the taxable property provisions) ”.

3 After paragraph 7 insert—

Unauthorised payment charge: taxable property

1 The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations make provision for a transfer member of a relevant non-UK scheme to be liable to the unauthorised payment charge in the same or similar circumstances to those in which—

a a member of a registered pension scheme is liable to that charge by virtue of section 174A and Schedule 29A (taxable property held by investment-regulated pension scheme),

b the scheme administrator of such a scheme is liable to the scheme sanction charge by virtue of section 185A (income from taxable property) or 185F (gains from taxable property), or

c a member of such a scheme is liable to the scheme sanction charge by virtue of those provisions in consequence of provision made by regulations under section 273ZA.

2 The regulations may—

a make provision for the application of any or all of the taxable property provisions in relation to a transfer member of a relevant non-UK scheme subject to any omissions, additions and other modifications contained in the regulations,

b include provision having effect in relation to times before they are made,

c contain transitional provisions and savings, and

d make different provision for different cases.

15In Schedule 36 (transitional provisions and savings), after paragraph 37 insert—

Pre-commencement holdings of taxable property

a on 6th April 2006 the pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property which it acquired before that date, and

b immediately before that date the pension scheme was not prohibited from holding the interest in the property,

and, in a case where immediately before that date the interest in the property was held directly by a person other than the pension scheme, if the pension scheme was not prohibited from holding the interest it held in that person at that time.

2 This paragraph also applies in relation to an investment-regulated pension scheme if—

a before 6th April 2006 a contract to acquire an interest in property was entered into by the pension scheme or a person in whom the pension scheme directly or indirectly held an interest when the contract was entered into,

b the pension scheme does not acquire the interest in the property before that date,

c the property is taxable property on that date, and

d immediately before that date the pension scheme would not have been prohibited from holding the interest in the property,

and, in a case where the contract to acquire the interest in the property was entered into by a person in whom the pension scheme directly or indirectly held an interest, if the pension scheme was not prohibited from holding the interest it held in that person immediately before that date.

3 The taxable property provisions (apart from this paragraph and paragraphs 37B to 37E) do not apply in relation to the pension scheme and the interest in the property.

4 For the purposes of this Schedule a pension scheme is to be treated as having been prohibited from holding an interest in property, or in a person, immediately before 6th April 2006 if approval could have been withdrawn under section 591B, 620(7) or 650 of ICTA on the basis of the holding of the interest at that time.

5 This paragraph is subject to paragraphs 37B to 37E.

37B

1 Paragraph 37A ceases to apply to an investment-regulated pension scheme and an interest in taxable property on the relevant date if Condition A, B or C is met.

2 Condition A is that there is a change in the occupation or use of the property such that, if the change had occurred immediately before 6th April 2006, the pension scheme would have been prohibited from holding the interest in the property at that time.

such that, if the change had occurred immediately before 6th April 2006, the pension scheme would have been prohibited from holding the interest in the person at that time.

5 For the purposes of this paragraph the relevant date is—

a where Condition A is met, the date on which the change in the occupation or use of the taxable property takes place,

b where Condition B is met, the date on which the improvement works are substantially completed, or

c where Condition C is met, the date on which the change in the pension scheme's interest in the person takes place,

but where the pension scheme has not acquired the interest in the property by what would otherwise be the relevant date, the relevant date is the date on which it acquires the interest.

6 Where Condition A, B or C is met the pension scheme is to be treated for the purposes of the taxable property provisions as acquiring the interest in the property on the relevant date.

7 For the purposes of Schedule 29A the total taxable amount in relation to any unauthorised payment which the pension scheme is treated as having made by reason of the acquisition is—

a the market value on the relevant date of the interest in the property held by the person who holds it directly, or

b if the interest in the property is a lease at a rent, the amount of consideration that would be treated as given by the person for the lease by virtue of paragraph 34 of Schedule 29A if it were assigned to the person on that date.

8 Where—

a the pension scheme holds the interest in the property directly, and

b the interest is not a lease at a rent,

a materially improve the property, and

b are not carried out wholly for the purposes of complying with a statutory requirement or a requirement imposed by a government department, a statutory body or a person holding a statutory office.

11 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (10)(a) a property is materially improved by works only if—

a its market value on the date the works are substantially completed (“MVW”) exceeds what would have been its market value on that date if the works had not been carried out (“MV”), and

b the amount by which MVW exceeds MV is greater than 20% of MV.

12 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (10)(b)—

“statutory body” means a body set up by or under an enactment (including an enactment comprised in, or an instrument made under, an Act of the Scottish Parliament);

c on that date the pension scheme holds the interest in the property indirectly or (if sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 37A applies in relation to the pension scheme and the interest in the property) the pension scheme will hold the interest indirectly once it has been acquired pursuant to the contract,

d the property is residential property on that date, and

e improvement works on the property were begun after 5th December 2005.

4 This paragraph is subject to paragraph 37G.

37G

1 Where Condition A or B is met in relation to the pension scheme and an interest in property to which paragraph 37F has applied, the pension scheme is to be treated for the purposes of the taxable property provisions as acquiring the interest in the property on the date on which the Condition is met.

SCHEDULE 22 ¶

Pension schemes: inheritance tax

Section 160

Introductory¶

1IHTA 1984 is amended as follows.

Dispositions¶

2In section 12 (dispositions conferring retirement benefits), after subsection (2) insert—

2A Subsection (2B) below applies where a person who is a member of a registered pension scheme, and who has not reached the age of 75, has omitted to exercise pension rights under the pension scheme and, if the words “(or latest time)” were omitted from subsection (3) of section 3 above,—

a that subsection would have treated the person as having made a disposition by reason of omitting to exercise the pension rights, but

b section 10 above would have prevented the disposition being a transfer of value.

2B Section 3(3) above does not actually treat the person as making a disposition by reason of omitting to exercise the pension rights (at the latest time when the person could have exercised them) unless the condition in subsection (2C) below is satisfied.

2C That condition is that—

a the person makes an actual pensions disposition under the pension scheme which is not prevented from being a transfer of value by section 10 above within the period of two years ending with the date of his death, and

b it is not shown that, when he made the actual pensions disposition, he had no reason to believe that he would die within that period.

2D A disposition treated by virtue of section 3(3) above as made by any person who is a member of a registered pension scheme, and who has not reached the age of 75, by reason of omitting to exercise pension rights under the pension scheme is not a transfer of value to the extent that it results in—

a the provision of a lump sum death benefit or pension death benefit (or both) to a relevant dependant, or

b the making of a payment to a charity.

2E A disposition made by a person who is a member of a registered pension scheme, and who has reached the age of 75, is not a transfer of value if the disposition consists in the person—

a making an actual pensions disposition under the pension scheme, or

b omitting to exercise pension rights under the pension scheme.

2F For the purposes of this section—

a a person omits to exercise pension rights under a pension scheme if he does not become entitled to the whole or any part of a pension or lump sum (or both) under the pension scheme at a time when he was eligible to become so entitled (whether or not he does become entitled to any other benefits under the pension scheme); and

b a person makes an actual pensions disposition under a registered pension scheme if he makes a disposition within section 3(1) above by doing anything in relation to, or to rights under, the pension scheme.

2G In this section—

“entitled”, in relation to a pension or lump sum, shall be construed in accordance with section 165(3) or 166(2) of the Finance Act 2004;
“lump sum death benefit” has the same meaning as in Part 4 of that Act (see section 168(2) of that Act);
“pension” has the same meaning as in that Part of that Act (see section 165(2) of that Act);
“pension death benefit” has the meaning given by section 167(2) of that Act; and
“relevant dependant”, in relation to a person, means a dependant (within the meaning given by paragraph 15 of Schedule 28 to that Act) who is the person's spouse or civil partner immediately before his death or someone who is financially dependent on the person at that time.

;

and, in the sidenote, for “retirement benefits” substitute “ benefits under pension scheme ”.

a the defined benefits arrangement mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of sub-paragraph (11), or

3 After sub-paragraph (5) insert—

Transitional protection: taking account of death benefits¶

37Schedule 36 (transitional provisions) is amended as follows.

38After paragraph 11 insert—

11A

1 This paragraph applies where—

a paragraph 7 makes provision for the operation of a lifetime allowance enhancement factor in relation to an individual immediately before the individual's death (and any calculation required by paragraph 11 does not mean that there is then no longer a primary protection factor),

b a person is paid a defined benefits lump sum death benefit or an uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual, and

c notice of intention to rely on this paragraph is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs by that person in accordance with regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

2 If the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits (see paragraphs 11B to 11D) exceeds RR (as adjusted under paragraph 11, where that paragraph applies), the primary protection factor is to be recalculated.

3 The re-calculation involves taking RR to be the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits and arriving at a revised primary protection factor.

4 The revised primary protection factor operates in relation to—

a the benefit crystallisation event consisting of the payment of the lump sum death benefit, and

b any other benefit crystallisation event consisting of the payment of a lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual.

11B

1 This paragraph and paragraphs 11C and 11D specify the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits.

2 Subject to paragraphs 11C and 11D, the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits is the aggregate of the maximum amounts that could have been paid—

a in respect of the individual as uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits, and

b under relevant pension arrangements relating to the individual,

if the individual had died on 5th April 2006.

3 Lump sum death benefits are “uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits” if they are attributable to rights in respect of which the individual had not, on 5th April 2006, become entitled to the present payment of benefits.

4 An arrangement is a “relevant pension arrangement” if it is an arrangement under a pension scheme within paragraph 1(1).

11C

1 In arriving at the aggregate mentioned in paragraph 11B(2) the following amounts are to be left out of account—

a in the case of any lump sum death benefit which could have been paid under a pension scheme in the case of which approval could have been withdrawn under section 591B, 620(7) or 650 of ICTA, any amount in excess of the permitted limit (see sub-paragraph (2)), and

b in the case of any lump sum death benefit which could have been paid under an arrangement in the case of which rights to such a benefit are commuted into prospective rights to receive dependants' pensions, any dependants' pension proportion amount (see sub-paragraphs (3) and (4)).

2 An “amount in excess of the permitted limit” is so much (if any) of the maximum amount of any lump sum death benefit as could not have been paid without having given grounds for withdrawing approval of the pension scheme under section 591B, 620(7) or 650 of ICTA.

3 A “dependants' pension proportion amount” is so much (if any) of the maximum amount of any lump sum death benefit which could have been paid under the arrangement as is the dependants' pension proportion of the lump sum death benefit.

4 The dependants' pension proportion is—

\frac{UTA - TA}{UTA}

where—

TA is the amount which, at the time when a defined benefits lump sum death benefit or uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefit is first paid in respect of the individual, is the aggregate of the maximum amounts of any defined benefits lump sum death benefits or uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefits which could be paid under the arrangement in respect of the individual, and

UTA is what TA would be if no prospective rights to the payment of any of those lump sum death benefits had been commuted into prospective rights to receive dependants' pensions.

11D

1 Sub-paragraph (2) applies where any of the lump sum death benefits mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 11B would have been payable under a policy of life insurance held for the purposes of a pension scheme and on 5th April 2006 the pension scheme either—

a was not an occupational pension scheme, or

b was an occupational pension scheme with fewer than 20 members.

2 The lump sum death benefit is only to be taken into account in arriving at the aggregate mentioned in that sub-paragraph if—

a a sum was paid under the policy when the individual actually died, and

b the terms of the policy had not been varied significantly during the period beginning with 5th April 2006 and ending with the death;

and any exercise of rights conferred by the policy is to be regarded for this purpose as a variation.

3 Sub-paragraph (4) applies where any of the lump sum death benefits mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 11B would have been payable under an occupational pension scheme.

4 The lump sum death benefit is only to be taken into account in arriving at the aggregate mentioned in that sub-paragraph if—

a the individual was employed by a person on 5th April 2006 and continued to be employed by that person or a person connected with that person until the time when the individual died,

b that person was a sponsoring employer in relation to the pension scheme on 5th April 2006, and

c the individual had not become entitled to the present payment of benefits in respect of rights under the pension scheme before the time when the individual died.

5 Section 839 of ICTA (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.

39In paragraph 14 (enhanced protection: relevant contributions), after sub-paragraph (2) insert—

3 A contribution is not a relevant contribution for the purposes of paragraph 13(a) if—

a it may only be applied for or towards the payment of premiums under a policy of insurance on the life of the individual,

b the policy is issued, or issued in respect of insurances made, before 6th April 2006,

c there is no right to surrender any rights under the policy,

d the terms of the policy are not varied significantly during the period beginning with 6th April 2006 and ending with the individual's actual death so as to increase the benefits payable under the policy or extend the period during which benefits are so payable, and

e no benefits are paid, or other payments made, under (or on the surrender of rights under) the policy except by reason of the individual's death;

and any exercise of rights conferred by the policy is to be regarded for this purpose as a variation.

4 A contribution is not a relevant contribution for the purposes of paragraph 13(a) if it is paid—

a by a sponsoring employer,

b under a relevant hybrid arrangement, and

c solely in respect of the provision in respect of the individual of lump sum death benefits which are defined benefits or cash balance benefits.

5 A “relevant hybrid arrangement” is a hybrid arrangement under an occupational pension scheme—

a which subsequently becomes a money purchase arrangement that is not a cash balance arrangement, and

b under which lump sum death benefits would have been payable in respect of the individual if the individual had died on 5th April 2006.

1 Paragraph 15 (enhanced protection: “the relevant crystallised amount”) is amended as follows.

2 In sub-paragraph (3), for “paragraph 16” substitute “ paragraphs 15A and 16 ”.

3 In sub-paragraph (4), for “is the greater” substitute “ is (subject to paragraph 15A) the greater ”.

4 In sub-paragraph (5), after “(4)(a)” insert “ and paragraph 15A(2)(a) ”.

5 In sub-paragraph (6), after “(4)(b)” insert “ and paragraph 15A(2)(b) ”.

41After that paragraph insert—

15A

1 This paragraph applies where—

a a person is paid a defined benefits lump sum death benefit or an uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual under the arrangement, and

b notice of intention to rely on this paragraph is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs by that person in accordance with regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

2 For the purposes of paragraph 13(b), if the amount yielded by sub-paragraph (3) is greater than what would otherwise be the appropriate limit in relation to a relevant event which consists of—

a the payment of the lump sum death benefit, or

b the payment of any other lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual under the arrangement or another cash balance arrangement or defined benefits arrangement related to the arrangement,

that greater amount is the appropriate limit in relation to such a relevant event.

3 The amount yielded by this sub-paragraph is the greater of—

a the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits, as increased by the relevant indexation percentage (see sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 15), or

b what would be the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits on the assumptions specified in sub-paragraph (6) of that paragraph (but subject to the modifications in sub-paragraph (7) of this paragraph).

4 The value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits is the aggregate of the maximum amounts that could have been paid in respect of the individual as uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits under—

a the arrangement, or

b any other cash balance arrangement or defined benefits arrangement related to the arrangement,

if the individual had died on 5th April 2006.

5 Lump sum death benefits are “uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits” if they are attributable to rights in respect of which the individual had not, on 5th April 2006, become entitled to the present payment of benefits.

6 Paragraphs 11C and 11D apply in arriving at the aggregate mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) as in arriving at that mentioned in paragraph 11B(2) but as if—

a each of the references to paragraph 11B(2) were to sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph, and

b in paragraph 11D(1), for “of a pension scheme” there were substituted “ of any arrangement within paragraph 15A(4) under a pension scheme ”.

7 In their operation for the purposes of this paragraph sub-paragraphs (6) to (11) of paragraph 15 have effect as if—

a for the references in sub-paragraphs (6)(a) and (7)(a) and (10) to the time of the first relevant event there were substituted a reference to the time immediately before the individual's death, and

b the words in parentheses in sub-paragraph (6)(a) were omitted.

42In section 256(1) (enhanced lifetime allowance regulations)—

a in paragraph (d), after “7(1)(b)” insert “ or 11A(1)(c) ”, and

b in paragraph (e), after “12(1)” insert “ or 15A(1)(b) ”.

Transitional protection: right to take benefits before normal pension age¶

1 Paragraph 22 of Schedule 36 (right to take benefits before normal minimum pension age: schemes within paragraph 1(1)(a) to (e) of Schedule 36) is amended as follows.

2 In sub-paragraph (7), for paragraph (b) substitute—

3 After that sub-paragraph insert—

7A Condition 1 is met if—

a the member is not, after becoming entitled to the benefits mentioned in sub-paragraph (7)(a), employed by a person who is a sponsoring employer in relation to the pension scheme and with whom the member is connected, and

b the member's becoming entitled to those benefits is not part of an arrangement the main purpose (or one of the main purposes) of which is the avoidance of tax or national insurance contributions.

7B Condition 2 is met if—

a the member is not, after becoming entitled to the benefits mentioned in sub-paragraph (7)(a), employed by a person specified in sub-paragraph (7C), and

b the member's becoming entitled to those benefits is not part of an arrangement the main purpose (or one of the main purposes) of which is the avoidance of tax or national insurance contributions.

7C The persons referred to in sub-paragraph (7B)(a) are—

a any person who was a sponsoring employer in relation to the pension scheme at any time during the period of six months ending with the day on which the member became entitled to the benefits mentioned in sub-paragraph (7)(a) and by whom the member was employed at any time during that period,
