(2) Subject to paragraph (1), section 62 of TCGA 1992(17) applies for the purposes of these Regulations as it applies for the purposes of that Act, and the reference in that paragraph to the assets of which a deceased person was competent to dispose are to be construed in accordance with subsection (10) of that section.

CHAPTER 5OFFSHORE INCOME GAINS AND THE COMPUTATION OF OFFSHORE INCOME GAINS

General provisions

38.—(1) An offshore income gain arises to a person on the disposal of an asset if a basic gain arises on the disposal.

(2) The disposal gives rise to an offshore income gain of an amount equal to the basic gain on the disposal.

(3) The following provisions of this Chapter explain how the basic gain is computed.

The basic gain and its computation

39.—(1) In the case of a participant chargeable to income tax, the basic gain is a gain of the amount which would be the gain on that disposal for the purposes of TCGA 1992 if the gain were computed without regard to any charge to income tax arising under this Part.

(2) In the case of a participant chargeable to corporation tax, the basic gain is a gain of the amount which would be the gain on that disposal for the purposes of TCGA 1992 if the gain were computed—

(a)without regard to any charge to corporation tax arising under this Part, and

(b)without regard to any indexation allowance on the disposal under TCGA 1992.

(3) The computation of the basic gain is subject to—

(a)regulation 34 (provisions applicable on death);

(b)regulation 35 (application of section 135 of TCGA 1992);

(c)regulation 36 (application of section 136 of TCGA 1992);

(d)regulation 37 (exchange of interests of different classes;

(e)regulation 40 (earlier disposal to which the no gain/no loss basis applies);

(f)regulation 41 (modifications of TCGA 1992);

(g)regulation 42 (losses);

(h)regulation 43 (special rules for certain existing holdings).

Earlier disposal to which the no gain/no loss basis applies

40.—(1) This regulation applies if—

(a)a participant is chargeable to corporation tax, and

(b)the amount of any chargeable gain or allowable loss which would arise on the disposal would fall to be computed in a way which, in whole or in part, would take account of the indexation allowance on an earlier disposal to which section 56(2) of TCGA 1992(20) (disposals on a no gain/no loss basis) applies.

(2) The basic gain on the disposal is computed as if—

(a)no indexation allowance had been available on any such earlier disposal, and

(b)subject to that, neither a gain nor a loss had arisen to the person making such an earlier disposal.

Modifications of TCGA 1992

41.—(1) If the disposal forms part of a transfer to which section 162 of TCGA 1992 (roll-over relief on transfer of business) applies, the basic gain arising on the disposal is computed without regard to any deduction which falls to be made under that section in computing a chargeable gain.

(2) If the disposal is made otherwise than under a bargain at arm’s length and a claim for relief is made in respect of that disposal under section 165 or 260 of TCGA 1992(21) (relief for gifts), the claim does not affect the computation of the basic gain arising on the disposal.

Losses

42.—(1) If the effect of any computation under regulations 39 to 41 would be to produce a loss, the basic gain on the disposal is nil.

(2) Paragraph (1) applies notwithstanding section 16 of TCGA 1992(22) (losses determined in like manner as gains).

(3) Accordingly, for the purposes of these Regulations, no loss is to be treated as arising on the disposal.

Special rules for certain existing holdings

43.—(1) This regulation applies if—

(a)a person acquired rights (the “protected rights”) in an offshore fund—

(i)before 1st December 2009, or

(ii)in accordance with paragraph (2),

(b)immediately before 1st December 2009 those rights did not constitute a material interest in an offshore fund within the meaning of that expression given by section 759 of ICTA(23), and

(c)on or after 1st December 2009 the person acquires additional rights in the offshore fund (the “non-protected rights”).

(2) Rights are acquired in accordance with this paragraph if—

(a)the rights are acquired by the participant in accordance with a legally enforceable agreement in writing that was entered into by the participant before 30th April 2009,

(b)in the case of an agreement which was conditional, the conditions are met before that date, and

(c)the agreement is not varied on or after that date.

(3) For the purposes of tax in respect of chargeable gains—

(a)section 104 of TCGA 1992(24) (share pooling: general interpretative provisions) applies as if the protected rights were assets of a different class from the non-protected rights, and

(b)all the protected rights must be treated as disposed of before any of the non-protected rights may be so treated.

CHAPTER 6DEDUCTION OF OFFSHORE INCOME GAINS IN COMPUTING CHARGEABLE GAINS

Ambit of this Chapter

44.—(1) This Chapter applies if—

(a)a material disposal gives rise to an offshore income gain, and

(b)that disposal also constitutes the disposal of the interest concerned for the purposes of TCGA 1992.

(2) In this Chapter the disposal specified in paragraph (1)(b) is called the “TCGA disposal”.

Treatment of the TCGA disposal: general rules

45.—(1) This regulation applies for the purposes of the computation of the chargeable gain arising on the TCGA disposal.

(2) The provisions of this regulation have effect in relation to the TCGA disposal in substitution for section 37(1) of TCGA 1992 (deduction of consideration chargeable to tax on income).

(3) In the computation of the gain arising on the TCGA disposal, a sum equal to the offshore income gain shall be deducted from the sum which would otherwise constitute the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal.

(4) Paragraph (3) is subject to the following provisions of this Chapter.

(5) Paragraph (6) applies if the TCGA disposal is of such a nature that, by virtue of section 42 of TCGA 1992 (part disposals), an apportionment falls to be made of certain expenditure.

(6) No deduction is to be made by virtue of paragraph (3) in determining the amount or value of the consideration for the purposes of the fraction in section 42(2) of TCGA 1992.

Modification of section 162 of TCGA 1992

46.—(1) This regulation applies if the TCGA disposal forms part of a transfer to which section 162 of TCGA 1992 applies (roll-over relief on transfer of business in exchange wholly or partly for shares).

(2) For the purposes of subsection (4) of section 162 of TCGA 1992 (determination of the amount of the deduction from the gain on the old assets) “B” in the fraction in that subsection (the value of the whole of the consideration received by the transferor in exchange for the business) is to be taken to be what it would be if the value of the consideration other than shares so received by the transferor were reduced by an amount equal to the offshore income gain.

Application of section 128 of TCGA 1992

47.—(1) This regulation applies if there is a disposal to which this Part applies by virtue of—

(a)regulation 35 (application of section 135 of TCGA 1992),

CHAPTER 7THE CONVERSION OF A NON-REPORTING FUND INTO A REPORTING FUND

Consequences of conversion for participants

48.—(1) This regulation applies if an offshore fund ceases to be a non-reporting fund and becomes a reporting fund.

(2) A participant in the fund may make an election to be treated—

(a)as disposing of the interest owned by the participant in the non-reporting fund at its market value on the disposal date, and

(b)as acquiring a holding in the reporting fund at the beginning of the reporting fund’s first period of account.

This is subject to paragraph (5).

(3) Chapter 5 of this Part applies to determine the offshore income gain arising on the deemed disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a).

(4) The deemed acquisition referred to in paragraph (2)(b) is treated as made for the same amount as the deemed disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a).

(5) An election may not be made under paragraph (2) unless the offshore income gain arising on the deemed disposal referred to in paragraph (2)(a) (determined in accordance with paragraph (3)) is greater than zero.

(6) If the participant is chargeable to income tax, the election mentioned in paragraph (2) must be made by being included in a return made for the tax year which includes the disposal date.

(7) If the participant is chargeable to corporation tax, the election mentioned in paragraph (2) must be made by being included in the participant’s company tax return for the accounting period which includes the disposal date.

(8) In this regulation—

“company tax return” has the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998(25);

the “disposal date” means the final day of the last period of account before the fund becomes a reporting fund.
