(c)any chargeable interest that is not attributable economically to the interest in the partnership that is transferred.

(e)any other chargeable interest whose transfer to the partnership did not fall within paragraph 12(1)(a), (b) or (c).

(8)A Type A transfer is—

(a)a transfer that takes the form of arrangements entered into under which—

(i)the whole or part of a partner’s interest as partner is acquired by another person (who may be an existing partner), and

(ii)consideration in money or money’s worth is given by or on behalf on the person acquiring the interest, or

(b)a transfer that takes the form of arrangements entered into under which—

(i)a person becomes a partner,

(ii)the interest of an existing partner in the partnership is reduced or an existing partner ceases to be a partner, and

(iii)there is a withdrawal of money or money’s worth from the partnership by the existing partner mentioned in sub-paragraph (ii) (other than money or money’s worth paid from the resources available to the partnership prior to the transfer).

(9)Any other transfer to which this paragraph applies is a Type B transfer.
