SCHEDULE 1Life Policies : Qualification for Relief on Premiums

PART IQualifying Conditions

General rules applicable to whole life and term assurances

1(1)Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, if a policy secures a capital sum which is payable only on death, or one payable either on death or on earlier disability, it is a qualifying policy if—

(a)it satisfies the conditions appropriate to it under sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) below, and

(b)except to the extent permitted by sub-paragraph (5) below it does not secure any other benefits.

(2)If the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable whenever the event in question happens, or if it happens at any time during the life of a specified person—

(a)the premiums under the policy must be payable at yearly or shorter intervals, and either—

(i)until the happening of the event, or, as the case may require, until the happening of the event or the earlier death of the specified person, or

(ii)until the time referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above or the earlier expiry of a specified period ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance, and

(b)the total premiums payable in any period of twelve months must not exceed—

(i)twice the amount of the total premiums payable in any other such period, or

(ii)one-eighth of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to continue in force for a period of ten years from the making of the insurance, or, in a case falling within paragraph (a)(ii) above, until the end of the period therein referred to.

(3)If the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable only if the event in question happens before the expiry of a specified term ending more than ten years after the making of the insurance, or only if it happens both before the expiry of such a term and during the life of a specified person—

(a)the premiums under the policy must be payable at yearly or shorter intervals, and either—

(i)until the happening of the event or the earlier expiry of the said term, or, as the case may require, until the happening of the event or, if earlier, the expiry of the term or the death of the specified person, or

(ii)as in sub-paragraph (i) above, but with the substitution for references to the term of references to a specified shorter period, being one ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance or, if sooner, the expiry of three-quarters of the said term, and

(b)the total premiums payable in any period of twelve months must not exceed—

(i)twice the amount of the total premiums payable in any other such period, or

(ii)one-eighth of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to continue in force for the term referred to in paragraph (a)(i) above, or, as the case may require, for the shorter period referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) above.

(4)If the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable only if the event in question happens before the expiry of a specified term ending not more than ten years after the making of the insurance, or only if it happens both before the expiry of such a term and during the life of a specified person, the policy must provide that any payment made by reason of its surrender during the period is not to exceed the total premiums previously paid thereunder.

(5)Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (1)(6) above, if a policy secures a capital sum payable only on death, it may also secure benefits (including benefits of a capital nature) to be provided in the event of a person's disability; and no policy is to be regarded for the purposes of that provision as securing other benefits by reason only of the fact that it confers a right to participate in profits, that it carries a guaranteed surrender value, that it gives an option to receive payments by way of annuity, or that it makes provision for the waiver of premiums by reason of a person's disability, or for the effecting of a further insurance or insurances without the production of evidence of insurability.

(6)In applying sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above to any policy—

(a)no account shall be taken of any provision for the waiver of premiums by reason of a person's disability, and

(b)if the term of the policy runs from a date earlier, but not more than three months earlier, than the making of the insurance, the insurance shall be treated as having been made on that date, and any premium paid in respect of the period before the making of the insurance, or in respect of that period and a subsequent period, as having been payable on that date.

(7)References in this paragraph to a capital sum payable on any event include references to any capital sum, or series of capital sums, payable by reason of that event; and a policy secures a capital sum payable either on death or on disability notwithstanding that the amount payable may vary with the event

General rules applicable to endowment assurances

2(1)Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, a policy which secures a capital sum payable either on survival for a specified term or on earlier death, or earlier death or disability, including a policy securing the sum on death only if occurring after the attainment of a specified age not exceeding sixteen, is a qualifying policy if it satisfies the following conditions—

(a)the term must be one ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance,

(b)premiums must be payable under the policy at yearly or shorter intervals, and—

(i)until the happening of the event in question, or

(ii)until the happening of that event, or the earlier expiry of a specified period shorter than the term but also ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance, or

(iii)if the policy is to lapse on the death of a specified person, until one of those times or the policy's earlier lapse,

(c)the total premiums payable under the policy in any period of twelve months must not exceed—

(i)twice the amount of the total premiums payable in any other such period, or

(ii)one-eighth of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to run for the specified term,

(d)the policy—

(i)must guarantee that the capital sum payable on death, or on death occurring after the attainment of a specified age not exceeding sixteen, will, whenever that event may happen, be equal to three-quarters at least of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to run for that term, disregarding any amounts included in those premiums by reason of their being payable otherwise than annually, and

(ii)if it is a policy which does not secure a capital sum in the event of death before the attainment of a specified age not exceeding sixteen, must not provide for the payment in that event of an amount exceeding the total premiums previously paid thereunder, and

(e)the policy must not secure the provision (except by surrender) at any time before the happening of the event in question of any benefit of a capital nature other than a payment falling within paragraph (d)(ii)) above, or benefits attributable to a right to participate in profits or arising by reason of a person's disability.

(2)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(d)(i) above, 10 per cent. of the premiums payable under any policy issued in the course of an industrial assurance business as defined in section 1(2) of the [1923 c. 8.] Industrial Assurance Act 1923 shall be treated as attributable to the fact that they are not paid annually.

(3)Sub-paragraphs (6) and (7) of paragraph 1 above shall, with any necessary modifications, have effect for the purposes of this paragraph as they have effect for the purposes of that paragraph.

Special types of policy

(i) Friendly Society policies

3A policy issued by any friendly society, or branch of a friendly society, in the course of its tax exempt life or endowment business, as defined in section 337(3) of this Act, is a qualifying policy notwithstanding that it does not comply with the conditions specified in paragraph 1 or 2 above.

(ii) Industrial Assurance policies

4(1)A policy issued in the course of an industrial assurance business, as defined in section 1(2) of the [1923 c. 8.] Industrial Assurance Act 1923, and not constituting a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph 1 or 2 above, is nevertheless a qualifying policy if—

(a)the sums guaranteed by the policy, together with those guaranteed at the time the assurance is made by all other policies issued in the course of such a business to the same person and not constituting qualifying policies apart from this paragraph, do not exceed £1,000,

(b)it satisfies the conditions with respect to premiums specified in paragraph 1(2) above,

(c)except by reason of death or surrender, no capital sum other than one falling within paragraph (d) below can become payable under the policy earlier than ten years after the making of the assurance, and

(d)where the policy provides for the making of a series of payments during its term—

(i)the first such payment is due not earlier than five years after the making of the assurance, and the others, except the final payment, at intervals of not less than five years, and

(ii)the amount of any payment, other than the final payment, does not exceed four-fifths of the premiums paid in the interval before its payment, and

(iii)if the first such payment is due earlier than ten years after the making of the assurance, or any other such payment except the last is due earlier than ten years after the preceding one, the sums guaranteed by the policy, together with the other sums referred to in paragraph (a) above so far as guaranteed by policies the payments under which also fall within this sub-paragraph, do not exceed £500.

(2)For the purposes of this paragraph, the sums guaranteed by a policy do not include any bonuses, or, in the case of a policy providing for a series of payments during its term, any of those payments except the first, or any sum payable on death during the term by reference to one or more of those payments except so far as that sum is referable to the first such payment.

(iii) Family income policies and mortgage protection policies

5(1)The following provisions apply to any policy which is mot a qualifying policy apart from those provisions, and the benefits secured by which consist of or include the payment on or after a person's death of—

(a)one capital sum which does sot vary according to the date of death, plus a series of capital sums payable if the death occurs during a specified period, or

(b)a capital sum, the amount of which is less if the death occurs in a later part of a specified period than if it occurs in an earlier part of that period.

(2)A policy falling within sub-paragraph (1)(a) above is a qualifying policy if—

(a)it would be one if it did not secure the series of capital sums there referred to, and the premiums payable under the policy were such as would be chargeable if that were in fact the case, and

(b)it would also be one if it secured only that series of sums, and the premiums thereunder were the balance of those actually so payable.

(3)A policy falling within sub-paragraph (1)(b) above is a qualifying policy if—

(a)it would be one if the amount of the capital sum there referred to were equal throughout the period to its smallest amount, and the premiums payable under the policy were such as would be chargeable if that were in fact the case, and

(b)it would also be one if it secured only that capital sum so far as it from time to time exceeds its smallest amount, and the premiums payable thereunder were the balance of those actually so payable.

Other special provisions

(i) Exceptional mortality risk

6For the purpose of determining whether any policy is a qualifying policy, there shall be disregarded—

(a)so much of any premium thereunder as is charged on the grounds that an exceptional risk of death is involved, and

(b)any provision under which, on those grounds, any sum may become chargeable as a debt against the capital sum guaranteed by the policy on death.

(ii) Connected policies

7Where the terms of any policy provide that it is to continue in force only so long as another policy does so, neither policy is a qualifying policy unless, if they had constituted together a single policy issued in respect of an insurance made at the time of the insurance in respect of which the first-mentioned policy was issued, that single policy would have been a qualifying policy.

(iii) Premiums paid out of sums due under previous policies

8(1)Where, in the case of a policy under which a single premium only is payable, liability for the payment of that premium is discharged in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) below, the policy is a qualifying policy notwithstanding anything in paragraph 1(2) or 1(3) above, or in paragraph (b) or (c) of paragraph 2(1); and where, in the case of any other policy, liability for the payment of the first premium thereunder, or of any part of that premium, is so discharged, the premium or part shall be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph 1(2)(b) and 1(3)(b)) above, and of paragraph (c) of paragraph 2(1).

(2)Liability for the payment of a premium is discharged in accordance with this sub-paragraph if it is discharged by the retention by the company with whom the insurance is made of the whole or a part of any sum which has become payable on the maturity of, or on the surrender more than ten years after its issue of the rights conferred by, a policy—

(a)previously issued by the company to the person making the insurance, or, if it is made by trustees, to them or any predecessors in office, or

(b)issued by the company when the person making the insurance was an infant, and securing a capital sum payable either on a specified date falling not more than one month after his attaining twenty-five, or on the anniversary of the policy immediately following his attainment of that age,

being, unless it is a policy falling within paragraph (b) above and the premium in question is a first premium only, a policy which was itself a qualifying policy, or which would have been a qualifying policy had it been issued in respect of an insurance made after 19th March 1968.

(iv) Substitutions and variations

9(1)Where one policy (hereafter referred to as "the new policy ") is issued in substitution for, or on the maturity of and in consequence of an option conferred by, another policy (hereafter referred to as " the old policy " ), the question whether the new policy is a qualifying policy shall, to the extent provided by the rules in sub-paragraph (2) below, be determined by reference to both policies.

(2)The said rules (for the purposes of which, the question whether the old policy was a qualifying policy shall be determined in accordance with this Part of this Schedule, whatever the date of the insurance in respect of which it was issued), are as follows—

(a)if the new policy would apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy, but the old policy was not, the new policy is not a qualifying policy unless the person making the insurance in respect of which it is issued was an infant when the old policy was issued, and the old policy was one securing a capital sum payable either on a specified date falling not later than one month after his attaining twenty-five or on the anniversary of the policy immediately following his attainment of that age ;

(b)if the new policy would apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy, and the old policy was also a qualifying policy, the new policy is a qualifying policy unless—

(i)it takes effect before the expiry of ten years from the making of the insurance in respect of which the old policy was issued, and

(ii)the highest total of premiums payable thereunder for any period of twelve months expiring before that time is less than one half of the highest total paid for any period of twelve months under the old policy, or under any related policy issued less than ten years before the issue of the new policy ("related policy" meaning any policy in relation to which the old policy was a new policy within the meaning of this paragraph, any policy in relation to which that policy was such a policy, and so on);

(c)if the new policy would not apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy, and would fail to be so by reason only of paragraph 1(2) or 1(3) above or of paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of paragraph 2(1), it is nevertheless a qualifying policy if the old policy was a qualifying policy and—

(i)the old policy was issued in respect of an insurance made more than ten years before the taking effect of the new policy, and the premiums payable for any period of twelve months under the new policy do not exceed the smallest total paid for any such period under the old policy, or

(ii)the old policy was issued outside the United Kingdom, and the circumstances are as specified in sub-paragraph (3) below.

(3)The said circumstances are—

(a)that the person in respect of whom the new insurance is made became resident in the United Kingdom during the twelve months ending with the date of its issue,

(b)that the issuing company certify that the new policy is in substitution for the old, and that the old was issued either by a branch or agency of theirs outside the United Kingdom or by a company outside the United Kingdom with whom they have arrangements for the issue of policies in substitution for ones held by persons coming to the United Kingdom, and

(c)that the new policy confers on the holder benefits which are substantially equivalent to those which he would have enjoyed if the old policy had continued in force.

10(1)Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, where the terms of a policy are varied, the question whether the policy after the variation is a qualifying policy shall be determined in accordance with the rules in paragraph 9 above, with references in those rules to the new policy and the old policy construed for that purpose as. references respectively to the policy after the variation and the policy before the variation, and with any other necessary modifications.

(2)In applying any of those rules by virtue of this paragraph, the question whether a policy after a variation would be a qualifying policy apart from the rule shall be determined as if any reference in paragraphs 1 to 7 of this Schedule to the making of an insurance, or to a policy's term, were a reference to the taking effect of the variation or, as the case may be, to the term of the policy as from the variation.

(3)This paragraph does not apply by reason of—

(a)any variation which, whether or not of a purely formal character, does not affect the terms of a policy in any significant respect, or

(b)any variation effected before the end of the year 1968 for the sole purpose of converting into a qualifying policy any policy issued (but not one treated by virtue of section 19(5) of this Act as issued) in respect of an insurance made after 19th March 1968.

PART IICertification of Qualifying Policies

11(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, a body issuing any policy of life insurance which is in its opinion a qualifying policy within the meaning of Part I of this Schedule shall, within three months of the date of issue, give to the policy holder a duly authenticated certificate to that effect, specifying in the certificate the name of the policy holder, the name of the person whose life is assured, the reference number or other means of identification allocated to the policy, the capital sum or sums assured, and the amounts and dates for payment of the premiums.

(2)Subject to the said sub-paragraph (3), where a policy of life insurance is varied, and is in the opinion of the body by whom it was issued a qualifying policy after the variation, that body shall, within three months of the making of the variation, give to the policy holder a like certificate with respect to the policy as varied.

(3)Where, in the case of any policy, or any policy after a variation, the total premiums payable in any period of twelve months do not exceed £26, a certificate need be given under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above only if requested in writing by the policy holder, and, if so requested, shall be given within three months of receipt of the request; and sub-paragraph (2) above shall not apply by reason of—

(a)any variation which, whether or not of a purely formal character, does not affect the terms of a policy in any significant respect, or

(b)any variation of a policy issued in respect of an insurance made on or before 19th March 1968, other than a variation by virtue of which the policy falls, under section 19(5) of this Act, to be treated as issued in respect of an insurance made after that date.

Section 71.

SCHEDULE 2Restrictions on Schedule A Deductions

Expenditure before 1964-65: deductions from rents

(2)Where, by virtue of paragraph 11 of Schedule 4 to the [1963 c. 25.] Finance Act 1963 as amended by section 16(2) of the [1965 c. 25.] Finance Act 1965 (excess of maintenance etc. costs during five years ending 5th April 1964 over available reliefs), any amount fell to be treated as a payment in relation to premises made by a person in the year 1964-65 in respect of dilapidation attributable to that year, the amount shall be similarly treated for the purposes of the said sections 72 and 73.

(3)If, in respect of any payment such as is mentioned in subsection (1) of the said section 72 made by a person in relation to any premises before the beginning of the year 1964-65, a loss was carried forward to that year by virtue of section 346 of the [1952 c. 10.] Income Tax Act 1952 (relief in respect of losses under Case VI of Schedule D) the amount of the loss shall be treated for the purposes of the said sections 72 and 73 as if it were a like payment made by that person in respect of the premises in, and in respect of, that year.

(4)A deduction falling to be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) above shall be made notwithstanding anything in section 176(3) or 179(1) of this Act (Case VI losses for income tax and corporation tax respectively: relief to be given as far as possible from the first subsequent Case VI assessment); and relief shall not be given under either of those sections in respect of the loss insofar as a deduction in respect of it is made under this paragraph.

3(1)Section 76 of this Act shall apply in relation to expenditure in respect of which an allowance under section 94(1)(c) of the [1952 c. 10.] Income Tax Act 1952 would, but for its repeal, have fallen to be made in respect of any premises for the year 1964-65 as if the expenditure had been incurred in the year of assessment following that in which it was actually incurred and, so far as it was incurred in repairing an embankment, had been incurred in making it:

Provided that if, by reason of a claim made under the proviso to paragraph 16(3) of Schedule 4 to the [1963 c. 25.] Finance Act 1963, any expenditure incurred before the beginning of the year 1964-65 in repairing an embankment fell to be treated for the purposes of that Schedule as if it had been an amount paid by the claimant, in and in respect of that year, in respect of the maintenance of the premises preserved or protected by the embankment, the expenditure shall be similarly treated for the purposes of sections 71 to 77 of this Act.

Section 85.

SCHEDULE 3Premiums etc. Taxable under Schedules A and D: Special Relief for Individuals

1A claim for relief under this Schedule shall be made to the Board if it relates to surtax, or if the claimant is not resident in the United Kingdom.

2The relief shall be computed in accordance with paragraphs 3 to 6 below, and in those paragraphs—

  • " chargeable sum " means an amount to which, under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) of section 80 of this Act, the claimant is treated as becoming entitled in the year of assessment, or in respect of which he is by virtue of subsection (5) of that section, or section 81 or 82 of this Act, chargeable to income tax for the year under Case VI of Schedule D ;

  • " relevant period ", in relation to any chargeable sum, means the period treated in computing the amount of the sum as being the duration of the lease in respect of which it arises or, where it arises (by virtue of the said section 82) in connection with the sale of an estate or interest in land, means the period mentioned in subsection (1) of that section;

  • " yearly equivalent ", in relation to any chargeable sum, means the amount which bears to that sum the same proportion as one bears to the number of years and fractions of years in the relevant period.

3There shall be computed—

(a)the amount of the tax which, in respect of the chargeable sum or the aggregate of the chargeable sums, as the case may be, would be chargeable if—

(i)the relief were not given, and

(ii)that sum or aggregate were treated as the highest part of the claimant's total income, and

(iii)amounts deductible in computing the tax were so far as possible deducted from other sums from which they are deductible in the year rather than from that sum or aggregate, and

(b)the amount of the tax which, in respect of that sum or aggregate, would be chargeable if calculated, in accordance with paragraph 4 below, by reference to the yearly equivalent of that sum, or, as the case may be, of each sum comprised in that aggregate,

and the relief shall consist of a reduction or repayment of tax equal to the difference between those amounts.

4(1)Where the relief is to be given in respect of one chargeable sum only, the tax shall be calculated for the purposes of paragraph 3(b) above as follows—

(a)from the yearly equivalent of that sum there shall be deducted such amounts as, following the principle set out in paragraph 3(a)(iii) above, are deductible from that sum,

(b)if any balance of the yearly equivalent remains, the tax in respect of the chargeable sum shall be calculated at the rate which, apart from the relief, would apply if the amount of the sum were reduced to the amount of that balance and were then treated as the highest part of the claimant's total income or, if two or more rates would then apply, at those rates in corresponding proportions,

(c)if no such balance remains, the tax shall be calculated at the rate applicable to the highest part of the remainder of the claimant's total income for the year of assessment,

and, whether or not any such balance remains, the tax shall be arrived at by applying the said rate or rates to so much of the chargeable sum as remains after deducting such amounts as, following the principle set out in the said paragraph 3(a)(iii), are deductible from that sum.

(2)Where the relief is to be given in respect of two or more chargeable sums, the tax for each shall be calculated for the said purposes as provided by sub-paragraph (1) above, but so that—

(a)the rate of tax on a sum arising in respect of any relevant period shall be calculated before the rate of tax on any sum arising in respect of a shorter relevant period, and

(b)in calculating the rate of tax on a sum arising in respect of any relevant period and the deductions from that sum, an amount deducted in respect of a sum tax for which has already been calculated shall not again be deducted, and, in calculating a rate of tax—

(i)any chargeable sum tax for which has not already been calculated, or in respect of which no balance of the yearly equivalent remains, shall be disregarded, and

(ii)as respects any other chargeable sum, the total income of the claimant shall be taken to include the sum, but on the assumption that the amount of it was only that of the balance remaining of the yearly equivalent.

(3)Where two or more chargeable sums arise in respect of relevant periods of equal duration, they shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as a single chargeable sum of an amount equal to the aggregate of those sums and arising in respect of a relevant period of like duration.

5A provision of paragraph 3 or 4 above requiring tax to be calculated as if an amount were treated as the highest part of the claimant's total income shall apply notwithstanding any provision of the Income Tax Acts directing other income to be treated as the highest part of his total income, but for the purposes of those paragraphs his total income shall be deemed—

(a)not to include any amount in respect of which he is chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act (payments on retirement or removal from office or employment), and

(b)to include, in respect of any amount which would otherwise be included therein by virtue of section 399 (1)(a) of this Act (gains arising in connection with life policies etc.), no greater amount than the appropriate fraction thereof within the meaning of section 400 of this Act.

6A provision of paragraph 3 or 4 above shall apply in relation to any part of the claimant's total income (as computed for the purposes of that provision) as respects which he would be entitled under Chapter II of Part I of this Act (personal and other reliefs) to a deduction equal to tax at the standard rate on that part as if that part were subject to a nil rate of tax, and shall apply in relation to any part thereof as respects which he would be entitled under section 22 of this Act (reduced rate relief) to a deduction equal to tax at any other rate on that part as if that part were subject to a rate of tax equal to the difference between the standard rate and that other rate.

Sections 88 and 158.

SCHEDULE 4Schedules A and D: Allowances for Betterment Levy

PART IPremiums etc.

1(1)Subject to paragraph 5 of this Schedule, for the purposes of section 80(1) of this Act (taxation of premium on grant of lease), the amount of any premium payable to the landlord shall be reduced by the amount of any betterment levy charged on the premium, and that reduction shall be made before the reduction under the said section 80(1) depending upon the length of the lease.

(2)In applying subsection (6) of the said section 80 (premiums payable by instalments: claim for treatment as rent) to a premium which falls to be reduced under sub-paragraph (1) above (looking at the fraction by which it is reduced before any reduction depending on the length of the lease), a reduction by that fraction shall be made in the amount of each instalment.

(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above, the amount of betterment levy charged- on a premium is the principal amount of the betterment levy under Case B charged in respect of the grant of the lease, reduced by applying the fraction (if less than unity) where—

  • A is the capital value of the premium payable to the landlord as brought into account under paragraph 7 of Schedule 4 to the [1967 c. 1.] Land Commission Act 1967, and

  • B is the aggregate amount of consideration as computed for the purposes of charging betterment levy.

(4)Sub-paragraphs (1) and (3) above shall also apply as respects any amounts brought into section 80(1) of this Act as a premium by subsection (2) of that section (landlord's benefit from tenant's obligation to carry out work on premises) so far as the benefit to the landlord is brought into account under the said paragraph 7 of Schedule 4 to the Land Commission Act 1967 ; and references to premiums in this paragraph shall be construed accordingly.

(5)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above, the amount of betterment levy charged on any sum brought into the said section 80(1) as a premium by subsection (4) of that section (consideration for the variation or waiver of the terms of a lease) is the principal amount of the betterment levy under Case E or Case F charged in respect of the disposition for which that sum is consideration, but subject to a proportionate reduction as under sub-paragraph (3) above where the sum forms part only of the consideration brought into account in assessing the betterment levy in respect of the disposition, and where the levy is under Case F, subject to such adjustments of the consideration so brought into account as may be appropriate ; and references to a premium in this paragraph shall be construed accordingly.

2Subject to paragraph 5 of this Schedule, any taxable amount under section 81 or 82 of this Act (assignment of lease at undervalue, and sale with right to reconveyance) shall be reduced by so much of the principal amount of any betterment levy under Case A charged on the assignment or sale on which the charge to tax arises as is attributable to the said taxable amount, and that reduction shall be made before any reduction under the said section 81 depending on the length of the lease, or any reduction under the said section 82 depending on the time between the sale and a subsequent reconveyance.

SCHEDULE 6Schedule D, Case I: Treatment of Farm etc. Animals

Farming: the general rule

1(1)Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, in computing profits or gains under Case I of Schedule D, animals kept by a fanner for the purposes of his fanning shall be treated as trading stock.

(2)Animals forming part of production herds with respect to which an election under paragraph 2 below has effect shall not be so treated, but shall be treated instead in accordance with the rules set out in paragraph 3 below.

(3)An election under the said paragraph 2 is in this Schedule referred to as " an election for the herd basis ".

Farming: election for the herd basis

2(1)An election for the herd basis shall apply to all production herds of a particular class kept by the farmer making the election, including herds which he has ceased to keep before the making of the election, or first begins to keep after the making thereof.

(2)An election for the herd basis must be made in writing to the inspector, and must specify the class of herds to which it relates.

(3)Subject to paragraph 6 below, an election for the herd basis shall be valid only if it is made not later than two years after the end of the first chargeable period for which the farmer making the election is chargeable under Case I of Schedule D to tax in respect of the profits or gains of his farming, or is given relief under section 168 or 177(2) of this Act (set off of trading losses against general income) in respect of his farming, being profits or gains or relief the amount of which is computed by reference to the facts of a period during the whole or some part of which the farmer kept a production herd of the class in question.

(4)An election for the herd basis shall be irrevocable and, subject to paragraph 6 below, shall have effect for the said first chargeable period and all subsequent chargeable periods.

3(1)Where an election for the herd basis has effect, the consequences for the purpose of computing profits or gains under Case I of Schedule D shall be as provided by this paragraph.

(2)The initial cost of the herd and, subject to the provisions of this paragraph as to replacements, the cost of any animal added to the herd shall not be deducted as an expense, and the value of the herd shall not be brought into account.

(3)Where an animal which has theretofore been treated as part of the farmer's trading stock is added to the herd otherwise than by way of replacement, there shall be included as a trading receipt—

(a)in the case of an animal bred by the farmer, a sum equal to the cost of breeding it and rearing it to maturity, and

(b)in any other case, a sum equal to the initial cost to the farmer of acquiring the animal, together with any cost incurred by him in rearing it to maturity.

(4)Where an animal forming part of the herd dies, or ceases to form part thereof, and is replaced therein by another animal—

(a)any proceeds of sale of the animal which dies or ceases to form part of the herd shall be included as a trading receipt, and

(b)the cost of the animal which replaces it, except in so far as that cost consists of such costs as are allowable apart from the provisions of this Schedule as deductions in computing profits or gains of farming under Case I of Schedule D, shall be deducted as an expense:

Provided that—

(i)where the second-mentioned animal is of better quality than the animal which it replaces, the amount deducted shall not exceed the amount which it would have been necessary to expend in order to acquire an animal of the same quality as the one replaced, and

(ii)where the animal which is replaced was slaughtered by the order of any Ministry, government department or local or public authority under the law relating to diseases of animals, and the animal which replaces it is of worse quality, the amount included as a trading receipt shall not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction.

(5)Where the herd is sold as a whole, and another production herd of the same class is acquired, sub-paragraphs (1) to (4) above shall apply as though there had been sold from the original herd, and replaced therein, a number of animals equal to the number in the original herd or in the newly acquired herd, whichever is the less.

(6)If (either all at once or over a period not exceeding twelve months) either—

(a)the whole of a herd is sold in circumstances in which subparagraph (5) above does not apply, or

(b)a part of a herd is sold on a substantial reduction being made in the number of animals in the herd,

any profit or loss arising from the transaction shall not be taken into account:

Provided that where, within five years of the sale, the seller acquires or begins to acquire another production herd of the class in question or, as the case may be, acquires or begins to acquire animals to replace the part of the herd in question—

(i)sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) above shall apply to the acquisition or replacement, except that, if the sale was one which the seller was compelled to effect by causes wholly beyond his control, the amount included as a trading receipt in respect of any animal sold which is replaced by an animal of worse quality shall not exceed the amount allowable as a deduction in respect of that animal of worse quality, and

(ii)for the purposes of the application of those sub-paragraphs, the proceeds of sale of the animals comprised in the original herd or part of a herd shall be brought into account as if they had been respectively received at the times of the corresponding acquisitions.

(7)If an animal forming part of the herd is sold, and neither sub-paragraph (4) nor (5) nor (6) above applies, any profit or loss arising from the transaction shall be included or deducted, as the case may be ; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, the said profit or loss shall be computed by comparing with the proceeds of sale—

(a)in the case of an animal bred by the farmer, the cost of breeding it and rearing it to maturity, and

(b)in any other case, a sum equal to the initial cost to the farmer of acquiring the animal (or, in the case of an animal acquired otherwise than for valuable consideration, its market value when the farmer acquired it) together, in both cases, with any cost incurred by him in rearing it to maturity.

(8)Where the herd is sold as a whole, and another production herd of the same class is acquired, and the number of animals in the newly acquired herd is less than the number in the original herd, then, if the difference is not substantial, sub-paragraph (6) above shall not apply, and sub-paragraph (7) above shall apply to a number of animals in the original herd equal to the difference.

(9)The preceding provisions of this paragraph shall apply in relation to the death or destruction of animals as they apply in relation to their sale, as if any insurance or compensation moneys received by reason of the death or destruction were proceeds of sale, and any reference in this paragraph to the proceeds of sale of an animal includes a reference to any proceeds of sale of its carcase or any part thereof.

Farming : provisions applicable to special cases

4A farmer who, having kept a production herd of a particular class, ceases altogether to keep herds of that class for a period of at least five years shall, as respects production herds kept by him after the end of that period, be treated as if he had never kept any production herds of that class before the end of that period.

5(1)Where a farmer transfers to another person all or any of the animals which form part of a production herd otherwise than by way of sale, or by way of sale but for a price other than that which they would have fetched if sold in the open market, and either—

(a)the transferor is a body of persons over whom the transferee has control, or the transferee is a body of persons over whom the transferor has control, or both the transferor and the transferee are bodies of persons and some other person has control over both of them, or

(b)it appears with respect to the transfer, or with respect to transactions of which the transfer is one, that the sole or main benefit, or one of the main benefits, which (apart from the provisions of this paragraph) might have been expected to accrue to the parties or any of them was a benefit resulting from the obtaining of a right to make an election for the herd basis, or from such an election having effect or ceasing to have effect, or from such an election having a greater effect or a less effect,

the like consequences shall ensue, in relation to all persons concerned, for the purpose of computing profits or gains under Case I of Schedule D as would have ensued if the animals had been sold for the price which they would have fetched if sold in the open market.

(2)In this paragraph " body of persons " includes a partnership, and " control" has the meaning given by section 534 of this Act.

6(1)Where the whole or a substantial part of a production herd kept by a farmer for the purposes of his fanning is slaughtered by the order of any Ministry, government department or local or public authority under the law relating to diseases of animals in such circumstances that compensation is payable in respect of it, an election for the herd basis thereupon made by the farmer in relation to that herd and any other production herds of the same class so kept by him shall, subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, be valid notwithstanding that it is not made within the time required by paragraph 2(3) of this Schedule.

(2)An election for the herd basis made by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above shall only be valid if made not later than two years after the end of the first chargeable period for which the tax chargeable on the farmer in respect of the profits or gains of his farming finally falls to be computed by reference to the facts of a period in which the compensation is relevant:

Provided that, for income tax (but not corporation tax) purposes, if that chargeable period is the second year of assessment within the meaning of section 117 of this Act (basis of assessment for second and third years after commencement), and notice is given under subsection (2) of that section, the election shall be valid if made not later than the giving of that notice.

(3)An election for the herd basis made by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above shall, notwithstanding paragraph 2(4) of this Schedule, have effect only for the chargeable period mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above and subsequent chargeable periods:

Provided that, for income tax (but not corporation tax) purposes, the election shall have effect for earlier chargeable periods for the purposes of any claim under section 168 of this Act (set off of trading losses against general income) which is made by the farmer for relief in respect of his farming, if the relief falls to be computed wholly or partly by reference to the facts of a period in which the compensation is relevant.

(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, compensation shall be deemed to be relevant in any period if, but only if, it falls (or would but for an election under this paragraph fall) to be taken into account as a trading receipt in computing the profits or gains or losses of that or an earlier period.

Exclusion of working animals, and interpretation of preceding provisions

7Nothing in this Schedule applies to any animals kept wholly or mainly for the work they do in connection with the carrying on of the farming.

8(1)In this Schedule " herd " includes a flock, and any other collection of animals, however named.

(2)For the purposes of this Schedule, immature animals kept in a herd shall not be treated as forming part of the herd unless—

(b)the immature animals in question are bred in the herd, are maintained therein for the purpose of replacement, and are necessarily maintained for that purpose,

and references in this Schedule to herds shall be construed accordingly, and references therein to an animal being added to a herd include references to an immature animal which is kept in the herd becoming a mature animal:

Provided that not more immature animals shall in any case be treated as forming part of a herd than are required to prevent a fall in the numbers of the herd.

Female animals shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as becoming mature when they produce their first young.

(3)In this Schedule " a production herd" means, in relation to a farmer, a herd of animals of the same species (irrespective of breed) kept by him wholly or mainly for the sake of the products which they produce for him to sell, being products obtainable from the living animal.

In this sub-paragraph "product obtainable from the living animal" means—

(a)the young of the animal, or

(b)any other product obtainable from the animal, not being a product obtainable only by slaughtering the animal itself.

(4)For the purposes of this Schedule, production herds kept by a fanner shall be deemed to be of the same class if, and only if, all the animals kept in the herds are of the same species (irrespective of breed) and the products produced for him to sell for the sake of which (either wholly or mainly) the herds are kept by him are of the same kinds in the case of all the herds ; and elections for the herd basis shall be framed accordingly.

(5)Any reference in this Schedule to profits or gains chargeable to tax under Schedule D includes a reference to profits or gains which would be so chargeable if there were any such profits or gains for the chargeable period in question.

Application of preceding provisions to trades other than farming, creatures other than animals, and animals and creatures kept singly

9(1)The preceding provisions of this Schedule shall, with the necessary adaptations, apply in relation to trades other than farming, and trades consisting only in part of farming, as they apply in relation to fanning, and references to fanners shall be construed accordingly.

Laying birds shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as becoming mature when they first lay.

(3)The provisions of this Schedule shall (both in relation to farming and in relation to other trades) apply, with the necessary adaptations, in relation to animals or other creatures kept singly as they apply in relation to herds.

(4)Nothing in this Schedule shall apply in relation to any animal or other creature kept wholly or mainly for public exhibition, or for racing or other competitive purposes.

Discharge and assignment of contracts; options and other conditional contracts, etc.

1(1)Save as provided by paragraph 2 below, a person's acquisition or disposal of an asset by a contract in that behalf shall be disregarded for the purposes of Case VII if—

(a)the contract is discharged by mutual consent or by operation of law, or

(b)default is made in carrying out the contract and, by reason of that default, there is no conveyance or transfer to implement the contract, whether by or to the person originally making the contract or another, or

(c)the contract is conditional and the condition is not satisfied.

(2)Where a person disposes of an asset, and the whole or part of the consideration is irrecoverable, the amount irrecoverable shall be disregarded in so far as it is not realised by the disposal in whole or in part of the right to the consideration ; and if the consideration is abated for any error in or default under the contract, Chapter VIII of Part VI of this Act shall apply as if the abated consideration had originally been contracted for.

(3)If, in the case of a conditional contract to acquire or dispose of an asset, the condition is satisfied (and, in particular, if in the case of a contract conferring an option the option is exercised), then, subject to sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) below, the acquisition or disposal of the asset by the contract shall be treated as taking place at the time when the condition is satisfied.

(4)If the disposal of an asset by a conditional contract is made for a consideration not depending wholly or mainly on the value of the asset at the time the condition is satisfied, the contract shall in relation to the disposal be treated (on the condition being satisfied) as if it had never been conditional.

(5)Where a contract for the disposal of an asset is discharged by mutual consent, but is replaced by a new contract for its disposal to the same person or to another in his place, the disposal by the new contract shall be treated as if it had taken place at the time when the disposal by the previous contract is to be treated as having taken place, and, if the previous contract was a conditional contract, the condition shall for that purpose be treated as satisfied by the making of the new contract.

(6)Nothing in sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) above shall apply in relation to a contract entered into before 10th April 1962.

2(1)Subject to paragraph 21 of this Schedule, a person acquiring a right under a subsisting contract to acquire or dispose of an asset shall be treated as thereby acquiring or disposing of the asset to the like extent as if he had then entered into a new contract conferring that right (his undertaking the obligations under the subsisting contract not being treated as consideration given by him for the acquisition of the right, but any consideration so given being treated, in relation to his acquisition and disposal of the asset, as an expense of acquiring or disposing of it).

(2)Notwithstanding anything in section 162(1) of this Act, a person disposing of the right under a subsisting contract to acquire or dispose of an asset shall not be treated as thereby disposing of the asset nor, in a case not within sub-paragraph (3) below, as having acquired or disposed of it by that contract.

(3)Subject to paragraph 21 of this Schedule, where a person disposes of an asset to another subject to and with the benefit of any subsisting contract for its disposal to a third person, then, if the contract is not conditional or the condition is satisfied at the time of the later disposal—

(a)he shall not be treated as thereby making any new disposal of the asset except to the extent to which it was not disposed of by that contract, and so much of the consideration for the later disposal as is attributable to the right to receive the consideration under that contract shall be disregarded, and

(b)he shall be treated as thereby completing the disposal by that contract, and that disposal shall not under paragraph 1 above be treated as affected by any subsequent discharge of or default under the contract or abatement of the consideration.

(4)A person's right under a contract entered into by him to acquire or dispose of an asset shall, in relation to any disposal by him of that right, be treated as having been acquired by him on the making of the contract for any consideration given by him for having that right (other than his agreement to acquire or dispose of the asset); and where a person gives any consideration to be discharged from a contract to acquire or dispose of an asset, the person to whom it is given shall be treated as disposing for that consideration of his right under the contract to dispose of or acquire the asset.

(5)Where a person dies after entering into a conditional contract for the acquisition or disposal of an asset (the condition not being satisfied at the time of his death), then—

(a)in the case of a contract to acquire the asset, nothing in this paragraph shall apply so as to treat any other person as acquiring the asset by reason of that contract on the condition being satisfied, except that sub-paragraph (1) shall apply in relation to any person acquiring from the personal representatives or legatee the right under the contract to acquire the asset, and

(b)in the case of a contract to dispose of the asset, nothing in this paragraph or paragraph 1 above shall apply so as to treat him as disposing of the asset under the contract on the condition being satisfied.

Gifts, settled property and bargains not at arm's length

3(1)Where a person resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom either—

(a)disposes by way of gift of an asset previously acquired by him, but does so without there being, within the meaning of Case VII, an acquisition and disposal by him, or

(b)disposes by way of gift of an asset acquired by him only as legatee,

then, so far as relates to the interest taken by the donee, the donee shall be treated as if the donor's acquisition of the asset had been his acquisition of it.

(2)Where, in a case not falling within sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (1)(b) above, a person resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom disposes by way of gift of an asset acquired or to be acquired by him, and the donee is also resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, then, on an election being made in that behalf—

(a)the donor shall not be chargeable under Case VII in respect of any acquisition and disposal by reference to that disposal, and

(b)the donee shall be treated as if the donor's acquisition of the asset had been his acquisition of it, but so that the amount of the consideration for which he is treated as acquiring the asset shall not by virtue of this sub-paragraph be increased.

(3)An election under sub-paragraph (2) above shall be made by the donor and donee jointly, except that it may be made by the donee alone if the donor would not, apart from that sub-paragraph, be chargeable to tax under Case VII in respect of the gain (if any) treated as accruing to him from his acquisition and disposal of the asset.

(4)A person shall not be chargeable under Case VII in respect of any acquisition and disposal by reference to a disposal made to any charity if the disposal is by way of gift for the purposes of the charity.

In this sub-paragraph "charity" means any body of persons or trust established for charitable purposes only.

4(1)Section 162(4) of this Act and paragraph 3 above shall apply in relation to a gift in settlement as a gift to the trustees of the settlement, and shall so apply notwithstanding that the settlor is one of the trustees, or the sole trustee, of the settlement; but if the settlor or the settlor's wife or husband has, or can by any means (whether or not requiring any consent or concurrence) obtain for the settlor or for the settlor's wife or husband any beneficial interest in the settled property or the income from it, no loss treated as accruing to the settlor by reason of the gift in settlement shall be allowable under Case VII.

(2)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where under a settlement a person becomes absolutely entitled as against the trustee to settled property (whether alone or jointly with another), he shall be chargeable by reference to any subsequent disposal of the property by him as if its acquisition by the trustees had been his acquisition of it.

(3)Where for a consideration in money or money's worth a person becomes absolutely entitled as against the trustee to settled property, or two or more persons jointly become so entitled, either by the exercise of a power of appointment under the settlement or by acquiring the interests of persons who were together so entitled and acted in concert in disposing of their interests to him or them, then, notwithstanding anything in section 163(4) of this Act—

(a)the person or persons becoming so entitled shall, on disposing of the property, be chargeable under Case VII by reference to that acquisition of it, if there is an acquisition and disposal by him or them, and

(b)the person exercising the power, or persons disposing of their interests under the settlement, shall be chargeable under that Case by reference to that disposal of the property, as if its acquisition by the trustees had been his or their acquisition of it.

5(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, where a person resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom disposes otherwise than by way of bargain at arm's length (but not by way of gift) of an asset acquired or to be acquired by him so that there is an acquisition and disposal of the asset by him, and the person acquiring the asset on that disposal is also resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, then, on an election being made in that behalf, the person disposing of the asset and the person acquiring it on that disposal shall be treated as doing so for a consideration equal to whichever is the higher of—

(a)the actual consideration, and

(b)such amount as will secure that neither a gain nor a loss accrues to the person disposing of the asset from his acquisition and disposal of it:

Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply so as to increase the amount of the consideration for which those persons are respectively treated as disposing of and acquiring the asset.

(2)An election under this paragraph shall be made jointly by the person disposing of the asset and the person acquiring it, except that an election may be made by the person disposing of the asset alone if the person acquiring it would not, on disposing of it, be chargeable to tax under Case VII in respect of the gain (if any) accruing to him from his acquisition and disposal of it.

(3)In a case falling within section 162(4)(b) of this Act, the amount referred to in paragraph (b) of sub-paragraph (1) above shall be taken to be higher than the actual consideration referred to in paragraph (a) of that sub-paragraph.

(4)This paragraph shall not apply to a disposal of assets by a company by way of distribution in respect of shares in the company.

6(1)Where, in the case of a man and his wife living with him, the man disposes of an asset acquired or to be acquired by him to the wife, or the wife disposes of an asset acquired or to be acquired by her to the man, then—

(a)the one making the disposal shall not be chargeable under Case VII in respect of an acquisition and disposal by reference to that disposal, and

(b)the one to whom the disposal is made shall be treated as if the other's acquisition of the asset had been his or her acquisition of it:

Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply in relation to a disposal of an asset if, until the disposal, the asset formed part of the trading stock of a trade carried on by the one making the disposal, or if the asset is acquired as trading stock for the purposes of a trade carried on by the one acquiring it.

(2)Where a person disposes of an asset to a company of which he has control, no loss accruing to him from the acquisition and disposal of the asset shall be allowable under Case VII otherwise than by deduction from any gain accruing on the disposal of assets to the company while he has control of it; and, for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, an individual shall be treated as having control of a company if the individual's wife or husband has control of it, or if they together have control of it.

Appropriations to and from stock in trade

7(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where an asset acquired by a person otherwise than as trading stock of a trade carried on by him is appropriated by him for the purposes of the trade as trading stock (whether on the commencement of the trade or otherwise) and, if he had then sold the asset for its market value, a gain or loss chargeable or allowable under Case VII would have accrued to him, he shall be treated as having thereby disposed of the asset by selling it for its then market value.

(2)Where an asset forming part of the trading stock of a person's trade is appropriated by him for any other purpose, or is retained by him on his ceasing to carry on the trade, he shall be treated as having acquired it for a consideration equal to the amount brought into the accounts of the trade in respect of it for tax purposes on the appropriation or on his ceasing to carry on the trade, as the case may be.

(3)Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not apply in relation to a person's appropriation of an asset for the purposes of a trade if he is chargeable to tax in respect of the profits of the trade under Case I of Schedule D and elects that, instead, the market value of the asset at the time of the appropriation shall, in computing the profits of the trade for the purposes of tax, be treated as reduced by the amount of the gain, or increased by the amount of the loss, referred to in that sub-paragraph; and where that sub-paragraph does not apply by reason of such an election, the profits of the trade shall be computed accordingly:

Provided that if a person making an election under this sub-paragraph is at the time of the appropriation carrying on the trade in partnership with others, the election shall not have effect unless concurred in by the others.

Identification of shares etc. disposed of

8(1)Subject to paragraph 9 below, where a person disposes of shares, the shares disposed of shall be identified in accordance with the rules contained in this paragraph with the shares acquired by him which could be comprised in that disposal, and shall be so identified notwithstanding that they are otherwise identified by the disposal, or by a transfer or delivery giving effect to the disposal (but so that, where a person disposes of shares in one capacity, they shall not be identified with shares which he holds or can dispose of only in some other capacity).

(2)The identification under this paragraph of the shares disposed of on any occasion shall have effect not only for determining the gain or loss accruing by reason of that disposal, but for all the purposes of Case VII, including its operation in relation to other disposals by the same person and, in a case where that person's acquisition of the shares is or may be relevant to the person acquiring from him, its operation in relation to the last-mentioned person.

(3)Shares disposed of on an earlier date shall be identified before shares disposed of on a later, and the identification of the shares first disposed of shall accordingly determine the shares which could be comprised in the later disposal.

(4)Shares disposed of for transfer or delivery on a particular date, or in a particular period—

(a)shall not be identified with shares acquired for transfer or delivery on a later date, or in a later period, and

(b)shall be identified with shares acquired for transfer or delivery on or before that date, or in or before that period, but on or after the date of the disposal, rather than with shares not so acquired.

(5)The shares disposed of shall be identified with shares not acquired as legatee rather than with shares acquired as legatee.

(6)The shares disposed of shall be identified—

(a)with shares acquired within the twelve months preceding the disposal rather than with shares not so acquired, and with shares so acquired on an earlier date rather than with shares so acquired on a later, and

(b)subject to paragraph (a) above, with shares acquired on a later date rather than with shares acquired on an earlier, and

(c)with shares acquired at different times on any one day in as nearly as may be equal proportions.

(7)The preceding rules shall have priority according to the order in which they are stated.

(8)Notwithstanding anything in sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) above, where, under arrangements designed to postpone the transfer or delivery of shares disposed of, a person by a single bargain acquires shares for transfer or delivery on a particular date, or in a particular period, and disposes of them for transfer or delivery on a later date, or in a later period, then—

(a)the shares disposed of by that bargain shall be identified with the shares thereby acquired, and

(b)shares previously disposed of which, but for the operation of paragraph (a) above in relation to acquisitions for transfer or delivery on the earlier date or in the earlier period, would have been identified with the shares acquired by that bargain—

(i)shall, subject to sub-paragraph (3) above, be identified with any available shares acquired for such transfer or delivery (that is to say, any shares so acquired other than shares to which paragraph (a) above applies, and other than shares with which shares disposed of for such transfer or delivery would be identified apart from this sub-paragraph), and

(ii)in so far as they cannot be so identified, shall be treated as disposed of for transfer or delivery on the later date, or in the later period, above-mentioned.

(9)This paragraph, and paragraph 9 below, shall apply in relation to a disposal of any assets as they apply in relation to a disposal of shares, where the assets are of a nature to be dealt in without identifying the particular assets disposed of or acquired.

9(1)Where, in the case of a man and his wife living with him, one of them—

(a)disposes of shares to his wife or her husband after 10th April 1968, and

(b)disposes of other shares, of the same kind as those disposed of to the wife or husband, to another person (in this paragraph called " a third party "),

the provisions of this paragraph shall have effect as respects any shares acquired by the person making those disposals which, but for the provisions of paragraph 8 above, could have been comprised in either of those disposals.

(2)If, but for the provisions of this sub-paragraph, shares disposed of to a third party—

(a)would not be taxable shares, and

(b)but for the disposal to the wife or husband would be taxable shares,

the identification shall be reversed so that the shares disposed of to the third party (or, if the quantity disposed of to the third party was greater than the quantity disposed of to the wife or husband, a part of them equal to the quantity disposed of to the wife or husband) shall be taxable shares.

(3)If there is more than one disposal to the wife or husband, or more than one disposal to a third party, the provisions of this paragraph shall be applied to shares disposed of on an earlier date before being applied to shares disposed of on a later date, and the re-identification of the shares first disposed of shall accordingly determine the way in which this paragraph applies to the shares comprised in the later disposal.

(4)In this paragraph " taxable shares " are shares the disposal of which, together with their acquisition, constitutes an acquisition and disposal within the meaning of Case VII.

Re-acquisition of shares etc. after sale at a loss

10(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where a loss accrues to a person from his acquisition and disposal of any shares, and he re-acquires the same shares within one month after the disposal or, in the case of a re-acquisition otherwise than through a stock exchange, within six months after it, that loss shall not be allowable under Case VII otherwise than by deduction from any gain accruing to him from an acquisition and disposal of the shares beginning with the re-acquisition.

For the purposes of this sub-paragraph, shares acquired for transfer or delivery after the date of transfer or delivery of the shares sold shall be deemed to have been acquired after the disposal of the shares sold.

(2)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where a person disposes of shares and afterwards acquires the like shares within the period referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above, he is to be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as re-acquiring the shares disposed of (or, if the quantity disposed of was greater than the quantity acquired, a part of them equal to the quantity acquired), but so that—

(a)there cannot be in relation to the same disposal more than one re-acquisition of the same share, nor be by the same acquisition of a share a re-acquisition in relation to more than one disposal, and

(b)an acquisition of shares shall, where there has been more than one relevant disposal, be treated as a re-acquisition of shares disposed of on an earlier date rather than of shares disposed of on a later, and as a re-acquisition of shares disposed of at different times on the same date in as nearly as may be equal proportions, and

(c)where there is more than one acquisition of shares relevant to a previous disposal, shares acquired on an earlier date shall be treated in relation to that disposal as the shares re-acquired rather than shares acquired on a later date, and, as between shares acquired on any one date, those subsequently disposed of on an earlier date shall be so treated rather than those subsequently disposed of on a later date, and those subsequently disposed of on any one day shall be so treated in as nearly as may be equal proportions, and

(d)where a person disposes of shares in one capacity, shares which he acquires in some other capacity shall be disregarded.

(3)Where a person acquires shares and, under paragraph 8 above, shares previously disposed of by him are identified with those shares, then—

(a)this paragraph shall not apply in relation to any loss accruing from that acquisition and disposal, and

(b)that acquisition shall not be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as a re-acquisition of any shares.

(4)Where, under paragraph 8(8) above, shares disposed of are identified with shares acquired by the same bargain, sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph shall apply as if the disposal had preceded the acquisition.

(5)Where—

(a)under arrangements designed to postpone the acceptance of shares acquired, a person by a single bargain disposes of shares for transfer or delivery on a particular date, or in a particular period, and acquires them for transfer or delivery on a later date, or in a later period, and

(b)under paragraph 8 above—

(i)the shares disposed of by that bargain are identified with shares previously acquired for transfer or delivery on the earlier date, or in the earlier period, and

(ii)shares disposed of afterwards, but within six months of the date of that bargain, are identified with the shares acquired by that bargain,

then, subject to sub-paragraph (6) below, sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph shall apply as if the disposal by that bargain had preceded the acquisition of the shares so identified with those disposed of.

(6)Where an acquisition of shares is more than once continued by such a bargain as is referred to in paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (5) above, that sub-paragraph shall apply in relation to each bargain continuing the acquisition, but so that, in relation to each such bargain, paragraph (b)(ii) of that sub-paragraph shall have effect as if the references to the date of the bargain and the shares thereby acquired were references to the date of the last of the bargains and the shares thereby acquired; and, for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, an acquisition continued by one bargain shall be treated as further continued by a later bargain in so far as the shares disposed of by the later bargain are identified under paragraph 8 above with the shares acquired by the earlier.

(7)This paragraph, and paragraph 11 below, shall apply in relation to acquisitions or disposals of any assets as they apply in relation to acquisitions or disposals of shares, where the assets are of a nature to be dealt in without identifying the particular assets disposed of or acquired.

11(1)Where, in the case of a man and his wife living with him, a loss accrues to one of them from his or her acquisition and disposal of any shares, and the other of them is to be treated in accordance with this paragraph as acquiring the same shares within the prescribed period after the disposal, that loss shall be allowable under Case VII by deduction from any gain accruing to the other (that is to say, the wife or husband of the person to whom the loss accrued) from an acquisition and disposal of the shares beginning with that acquisition by the other, but shall not be so allowable by deduction from any other gain accruing to either of them.

(2)Shares disposed of by the husband or wife shall not for the purposes of this paragraph be treated as the same as shares acquired by the other if, for the purposes of paragraph 10 above—

(a)the person disposing of the shares is to be treated as having re-acquired the same shares, or

(b)the person acquiring the shares is to be treated as thereby re-acquiring shares disposed of,

or if the person acquiring the shares acquires them from her husband or his wife.

(3)Subject to sub-paragraph (2) above, where the husband or wife disposes of shares and the other afterwards acquires the like shares within the prescribed period from the disposal, the other is to be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as acquiring the same shares as those disposed of (or, if the quantity disposed of was greater than the quantity acquired, a part equal to the quantity acquired) and, so far as necessary, the rules in paragraphs (a) to (d) of paragraph 10(2) above shall apply for the purpose of determining which are the same shares, as if the husband and wife were one person, and disregarding all shares excluded by sub-paragraph (2) above.

(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, shares acquired by the wife or husband for transfer or delivery after the date of transfer or delivery of the shares sold by the other shall be deemed to have been acquired after the disposal of the shares sold.

(5)Where the husband or wife acquires shares and, under paragraph 8 above, shares previously disposed of by him or her are identified with those shares, then—

(a)this paragraph shall not apply in relation to any loss accruing from that acquisition and disposal, and

(b)that acquisition shall not be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as an acquisition of the same shares as any shares disposed of by the other,

and sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) of paragraph 10 above shall apply as if references in those sub-paragraphs to sub-paragraph (3) of the said paragraph 10 included references to this sub-paragraph.

(6)In this paragraph " the prescribed period " means—

(a)in the case of an acquisition of shares through a stock exchange, one month, and

(b)in the case of an acquisition of shares otherwise than through a stock exchange, or in the case of an acquisition of some other kind of asset, six months.

Reorganisation or reduction of share capital

12(1)This paragraph shall apply in relation to any reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital; and for the purposes of this paragraph—

(a)references to a reorganisation of a company's share capital include—

(i)any case where persons are, whether for payment or not, allotted shares in or debentures of the company in respect of and in proportion to (or as nearly as may be in proportion (a) their holdings of shares in the company or of any class of shares in the company, and

(ii)any case where there are more than one class of share and the rights attached to shares of any class are altered, and

(b)" original shares " means shares held before and concerned in the reorganisation or reduction of capital, and " new holding" means, in relation to any original shares, the shares in and debentures of the company which, as a result of the reorganisation or reduction of capital, represent the original shares (including such, if any, of the original shares as remain).

(2)Subject to the following sub-paragraphs, a reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital shall not be treated as involving any disposal of the original shares, or any acquisition of the new holding or any part of it, but the original shares and the new holding shall be treated as the same asset acquired as the original shares were acquired.

(3)Where, on a reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital, a person gives or becomes liable to give any consideration for his new holding or any part of it, that consideration shall, in relation to any disposal of the new holding or any part of it, be treated as having been given for the original shares, and, if the new holding or part of it is disposed of with a liability attaching to it in respect of that consideration, the consideration given for the disposal shall be adjusted accordingly:

Provided that there shall not be treated as consideration given for the new holding or any part of it any surrender, cancellation or other alteration of the original shares or of the rights attached thereto, or any consideration consisting of any application in paying up the new holding or any part of it of assets of the company or of any dividend or other distribution declared out of those assets but not made.

Notwithstanding the above proviso, in applying this sub-paragraph in relation to the issue of share capital to which subsection (1) of section 236 of this Act (stock dividend options) applies (as involving a reorganisation of the company's share capital) there shall be allowed, as consideration given for the new holding which includes that share capital, the sum referred to in that subsection less income tax at the standard rate.

(4)Where, on a reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital, a person receives or becomes entitled to receive in respect of his original shares any capital distribution from the company not forming part of the new holding, he shall be treated as if the new holding resulted from his having, in consideration of that distribution, disposed of an interest in the original shares of a market value equal to that of the distribution (but without prejudice to the original shares and the new holding being treated in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above as the same asset).

References in this sub-paragraph to any capital distribution from the company include references to any consideration given by any person other than the company in respect of the original shares.

(5)Subject to paragraph 13 below, where, for the purpose of computing the gain or loss accruing to a person from the acquisition and disposal of any part of the new holding, it is necessary to apportion the cost of acquisition of any of the original shares between what is disposed of and what is retained, the apportionment shall be made by reference to market value at the date of the disposal (with such adjustment of the market value of any part of the new holding as may be required to offset any liability attaching thereto but forming part of the cost to be apportioned); and any corresponding apportionment for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above shall be made in like manner.

(6)Where, on a reorganisation of a company's share capital, a person receives, or becomes entitled to receive, in respect of any shares a provisional allotment of shares in or debentures of the company, then, unless he neither accepts the allotment nor disposes of his rights before or after the making of the allotment, those rights shall be treated in relation to him and any person acquiring them directly or indirectly from him as if they were the shares or debentures to which they relate, and as if the consideration to be given for the shares or debentures were a liability attaching to the rights.

(7)References in this paragraph to a reduction of share capital do not include the paying off of redeemable share capital, and where shares in a company are redeemed by a company otherwise than by the issue of shares or debentures (with or without other consideration) and otherwise than in a liquidation, the shareholder shall be treated as disposing of the shares at the time of the redemption.

13(1)This paragraph applies to a new holding, as defined in paragraph 12(1)(b) above—

(a)if it consists of more than one class of shares in or debentures of the company, and one or more of those classes is of shares or debentures which, at any time not later than the end of the period of three months beginning with the date on which the reorganisation or reduction of capital took effect, or of such longer period as the Board may by notice in writing allow, had quoted market values on a recognised stock exchange in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, or

(b)(in a case where the operation of that paragraph is extended by section 167(3) of this Act) if it consists of more than one class of rights of unit holders, and one or more of those classes is of rights the prices of which were published daily by the managers of the scheme at any time not later than the end of that period of three months (or longer if so allowed).

(2)Where, for the purpose of computing the gain or loss accruing to a person from the acquisition and disposal of the whole or any part of any class of shares or securities or rights of unit holders forming part of a new holding to which this paragraph applies, it is necessary to apportion costs of acquisition between what is disposed of and what is retained, the cost of acquisition of the new holding shall first be apportioned between the entire classes of shares or debentures or rights of which it consists by reference to market value on the first day (whether that day fell before the reorganisation or reduction of capital took effect or later) on which market values or prices were quoted or published for the shares, debentures or rights as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (1)(b) above (with such adjustment of the market value of any class as may be required to offset any liability attaching thereto but forming part of the cost to be apportioned); and this sub-paragraph shall have effect notwithstanding sub-paragraph (5) of the said paragraph 12.

(3)Sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) above shall have effect as if contained in the said paragraph 12.

(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, the day on which a reorganisation of share capital involving the allotment of shares or debentures or unit holders' rights takes effect is the day following the day on which the right to renounce any allotment expires.

Conversion of securities

14(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, paragraphs 12 and 13 of this Schedule shall apply with any necessary adaptations in relation to the conversion of securities as they apply in relation to the reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital.

(3)For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a)" conversion of securities " includes—

(i)a conversion of securities of a company into shares in the company, and

(ii)a conversion at the option of the holder of the securities converted as an alternative to the redemption of those securities for cash, and

Company amalgamations

15(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, where a company issues snares or debentures to a person in exchange for shares in or debentures of another company, paragraphs 12 and 13 of this Schedule shall apply with any necessary adaptations as if the two companies were the same company and the exchange were a reorganisation of its share capital.

(2)This paragraph shall apply only where the company issuing the shares or debentures has, or in consequence of the exchange will have, control of the other company, or where the first-mentioned company issues the shares or debentures in exchange for shares as the result of a general offer made to members of the other company or any class of them (with or without exceptions for persons who are, within the terms of section 533 of this Act, connected with the first-mentioned company), the offer being made in the first instance on a condition such that if it were satisfied the first-mentioned company would have control of the other company.

16(1)Where under any arrangement between a company and the persons holding shares in or debentures of the company, or any class of such shares or debentures, being an arrangement entered into for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation—

(a)another company issues shares or debentures to those persons in respect of and in proportion to (or as nearly as may be in proportion (a) their holdings of the first-mentioned shares or debentures, but

(b)the first-mentioned shares or debentures are either retained by those persons or cancelled,

then those persons shall be treated as exchanging the first-mentioned shares or debentures for those held by them in consequence of the arrangement (any shares or debentures retained being for this purpose regarded as if they had been cancelled and replaced by a new issue):

Provided that paragraph 15(2) above shall not apply.

(2)Sub-paragraph (1) above shall apply in relation to a company which has no share capital as if references to shares in or debentures of a company included references to any interests in the company possessed by members of the company, and paragraphs 12 and 15 of this Schedule shall apply accordingly.

(3)Where any scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation involves the transfer of the whole or part of a company's business to another company, and the first-mentioned company receives no part of the consideration for the transfer (otherwise than by the other company taking over the whole or part of the liabilities of the business), then the first-mentioned company shall not be chargeable under Case VII by reference to the transfer in respect of its acquisition and disposal of any assets included in the transfer.

(4)In this paragraph " scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation " means a scheme for the reconstruction of any company or companies, or for the amalgamation of any two or more companies, and references to shares or debentures being retained include then-being retained with altered rights, or in an altered form, whether as the result of reduction, consolidation, division or otherwise.

Debts

17(1)Subject to paragraph 18 below, where a person incurs a debt to another, the creditor shall not be treated as thereby acquiring the debt, except in the case of the debt on a security as defined in paragraph 14 of this Schedule.

(2)In the case of the debt on a security as defined in paragraph 14 of this Schedule, or of a debt acquired by the creditor from a previous creditor, the satisfaction of the debt or part of it shall, subject to paragraphs 14 and 15 of this Schedule, be treated as a disposal of the debt or of that part by the creditor made at the time when the debt or that part is satisfied.

(3)Where property is acquired by a creditor in satisfaction of his debt or part of it, then, subject to the said paragraphs 14 and 15, the property shall not be treated as disposed of by the debtor or acquired by the creditor for a consideration greater than its market value at the time of the creditor's acquisition of it; but if (in a case not falling within either of those paragraphs) the satisfaction of the debt or that part of it is not to be treated as a disposal of it by the creditor, and he becomes chargeable under Case VII in respect of gains accruing from his acquisition and disposal of the property, the amount on which tax is chargeable shall (where necessary) be reduced so as not to exceed the amount on which tax would have been chargeable if he had acquired the property for a consideration equal to the amount of the debt or that part of it.

18(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, paragraph 17(1) above shall not apply to a debt owed by a bank which is not in sterling and which is represented by a sum standing to the credit of a person in an account in the bank, and accordingly the satisfaction of the debt or part of it shall be treated as a disposal of the debt or of that part by the creditor (that is, the bank's customer) made at the time when the debt or that part is satisfied.

(b)taken any steps by advertisement or otherwise to dispose of the land, or to make his willingness to dispose of it known to the authority or others.

(2)In this paragraph " authority exercising or having compulsory powers " means, in relation to any disposal of land, a person or body of persons acquiring the land compulsorily, or who has or have been or could be authorised to acquire it compulsorily for the purposes for which it is acquired, or for whom another person or body of persons has or have been or could be authorised so to acquire it.

Additional provisions as to computation of gains

20(1)Where a single bargain comprises two or more transactions whereby assets are disposed of, those transactions shall be treated for the purposes of section 164 of this Act as a single disposal; and where separate considerations are agreed, or purport to be agreed, for any two or more transactions comprised in one bargain (whether transactions whereby assets are disposed of or not), those considerations shall be treated as together constituting an entire consideration for the transactions, and shall be apportion-able between them accordingly.

(2)Where an individual and the wife or husband of that individual, or a body of persons and a person having control of it, or two bodies of persons under common control, enter into associated transactions, sub-paragraph (1) above shall apply as if the transactions were comprised in a single bargain (" body of persons " for this purpose including a partnership):

Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply so as to treat considerations given or received by different persons as an entire consideration unless they are given to or received from a single person or persons in relation to whom they can by virtue of this sub-paragraph be treated as an entire consideration.

(3)In the case of an acquisition and disposal of land, no deduction shall be made in respect of maintenance expenditure incurred by any person—

(a)in computing the gain accruing to that person from the acquisition and disposal for the purposes of paragraph 7(3) of this Schedule, or

(b)in computing for any purpose of this Schedule the amount which would secure that neither a gain nor a loss accrued to that person on his disposal of the land ;

and maintenance expenditure incurred by the person chargeable which falls to be taken into account for other purposes of Case VII shall not be taken into account in computing his profits or gains for the purposes of Schedule A, but, where it has been taken into account in computing those profits or gains, any necessary adjustment of that person's liability to tax may be made by means of an assessment or otherwise, and, for that purpose, the amount of any tax repaid by reason of its having been taken into account may be charged on him under Case VI of Schedule D and recovered accordingly.

In this sub-paragraph, references to maintenance expenditure incurred by any person are references to any payments made by him which are deductible in computing his profits or gains for the purposes of Schedule A.

(4)Paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 19 to the [1969 c. 32.] Finance Act 1969 (capital gains tax: compensation paid on compulsory acquisition) shall apply with respect to the apportionments to be made under section 164(4) of this Act as it applies to apportionments to be made for the purposes of Schedule 6 to the [1965 c. 25.] Finance Act 1965.

(5)Where, in the case of any asset, the person chargeable receives or is entitled to claim any capital allowances with reference to expenditure relating to the asset, the amount of the allowances shall be treated for the purpose of computing the gain as a trading receipt of the adventure in so far as it exceeds the amount or aggregate amount on which any balancing charges fall to be made on him in respect of the allowances (subject, however, to a just apportionment where the adventure does not relate to the whole of his interest in the asset).

In this sub-paragraph "capital allowance" does not include an allowance under Part II of the [1968 c. 3.] Capital Allowance Act 1968, or an investment allowance.

Treatment of one person's acquisition as another's

21(1)Where under this Schedule a person acquiring an asset is to be treated as if another's acquisition of it had been his acquisition, that person shall be treated as having acquired the asset at the time when the other acquired it and for a consideration of such amount as would secure that, on the other's disposal to that person, neither a gain nor a loss would accrue to the other (that amount being calculated as it would be for the purpose of a charge under Case VII then falling on the other by reference to that acquisition); and where there have been more than one acquisition by the other of different interests in the asset, this provision shall apply in relation to each such acquisition:

Provided that—

(a)a person shall be treated as if another's acquisition of an asset had been his acquisition of it only if and in so far as the interest taken by that person would be treated for the purpose of such a charge as aforesaid as deriving from that acquisition, and

(b)that person shall be treated as acquiring the asset as legatee, and not for any consideration, in so far as the said interest would be so treated as deriving from an acquisition by the other as legatee.

(2)Where a person acquires an asset subject to and with the benefit of any subsisting contract for its disposal to a third person and is under this Schedule to be treated as if another's acquisition of it had been his acquisition, sub-paragraphs (1) and (3) of paragraph 2 of this Schedule shall not apply in relation to the acquisition by or disposal to him of the asset (he being treated as if the other's acquisition of the right had been his acquisition).

Supplementary

22(1)Where any sum falls to be apportioned for the purposes of Case VII and, at the time of the apportionment, it appears that it is material as respects the liability to tax of two or more persons, any question which arises as to the manner in which the sum is to be apportioned shall be determined for the purposes of the tax on all those persons—

(a)in a case where the same body of General Commissioners have jurisdiction with respect to all those persons, by those Commissioners, unless all those persons agree that it shall be determined by the Special Commissioners,

(b)in a case where different bodies of Commissioners have jurisdiction with respect to those persons, by such of those bodies as the Board may direct, unless all those persons agree that it shall be determined by the Special Commissioners, and

(c)in any other case, by the Special Commissioners,

and any such Commissioners shall determine the question in like manner as if it were an appeal:

Provided that all the said persons shall be entitled to appear and be heard by the Commissioners who are to make the determination, or to make representations to them in writing.

(2)This paragraph applies in relation to any determination of market value for the purposes of Case VII as it applies in relation to apportionments.

23(1)An election under this Schedule shall be made by notice in writing, signed by the person or persons making the election and the persons (if any) whose concurrence is required, and delivered to the inspector within the relevant period.

(2)A notice so delivered with respect to property disposed of by way of gift shall be of no effect unless within the relevant period there is also delivered to the inspector a statement signed by the donor and giving such particulars as are necessary to establish the time at which, and the consideration for which, the donee is to be treated as having acquired the property, in so far as those particulars may be material in relation to any acquisition and disposal by the donee.

(3)Any election which a person may make or concur in under this Schedule may be made or concurred in instead by his personal representatives if he has died, or by any person assessable on his behalf, and similarly with a statement required by sub-paragraph (2) above.

(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, the relevant period—

(a)in the case of a gift, is the period ending with the year of assessment following that in which the gift is made or, where an election may be made by the donee alone, the period ending with the year of assessment following that in which he first disposes of the property comprised in the gift or any part of it, and

(b)in the case of an election under paragraph 7 of this Schedule, is the period ending with the year of assessment following that in which is made the appropriation of the asset for the purposes of the trade;

and in this paragraph, references to a gift include any disposal otherwise than by way of bargain at arm's length, and references to the donor and the donee shall be construed accordingly.

Section 188.

SCHEDULE 8Schedule E: Relief as Respects Tax on Payments on Retirement or Removal from Office or Employment

Preliminary

1Relief shall be allowed in accordance with the following provisions of this Schedule in respect of tax chargeable by virtue of section 187 of this Act, where a claim is made under section 188(4) of this Act.

2A person shall not be entitled to relief under this Schedule in so far as such relief, together with any relief allowed under Chapter II of Part I of this Act (personal reliefs), would reduce the amount of income on which he is chargeable at the standard rate below the amount income tax on which he is entitled to charge against any other person, or to deduct, retain or satisfy out of any payment which he is liable to make to any other person.

Relief by reduction of sums chargeable

3In computing the charge to tax in respect of a payment chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act, not being a payment of compensation for loss of office, there shall be deducted from the payment a sum equal to the amount (if any) by which the standard capital superannuation benefit for the office or employment in respect of which the payment is made exceeds £5,000.

4In this Schedule " the standard capital superannuation benefit", in relation to an office or employment, means a sum arrived at as follows, that is to say—

(a)there shall be ascertained the average for one year of the holder's emoluments from the office or employment for the last three years of his service before the relevant date (or for the whole period of his service if less than three years);

(b)one-twentieth of the amount ascertained at (a) shall be multiplied by the whole number of complete years of the service of the holder in the office or employment; and

(c)there shall be deducted from the product at (b) a sum equal to the amount, or, as the case may be, to the value at the relevant date, of any lump sum (not chargeable to tax) received or receivable by the holder in respect of the office or employment in pursuance of any such scheme or fund as is described in subsections (1) and (2) of section 221 of this Act:

Provided that no account shall be taken for the purposes of this paragraph of the service of any person as an officer or employee of a body corporate at any time while he was a controlling director (as defined in section 224(1) of this Act) of that body.

5Where tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act in respect of two or more payments to which paragraph 3 above applies, being payments made to or in respect of the same person in respect of the same office or employment or in respect of different offices or employments held under the same employer or under associated employers, then—

(a)the said paragraph 3 shall apply as if those payments were a single payment of an amount equal to their aggregate amount and, where they are made in respect of different offices or employments, as if the standard capital superannuation benefit were an amount equal to the sum of the standard capital superannuation benefits for those offices or employments, and

(b)where the payments are treated as income of different chargeable periods, the relief to be granted under that paragraph in respect of a payment chargeable for any such period shall be the amount by which the relief computed in accordance with the preceding provision in respect of that payment and any payments chargeable for previous chargeable periods exceeds the relief in respect of the last-mentioned payments,

and where the standard capital superannuation benefit for an office or employment in respect of which two or more of the payments are made is not the same in relation to each of those payments, it shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as equal to the higher or highest of those benefits.

6In computing the charge to tax in respect of a payment chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act, being a payment made in respect of an office or employment in which the service of the holder includes foreign service and not being a payment of compensation for loss of office, there shall be deducted from the payment (in addition to any deduction allowed under the preceding provisions of this Schedule) a sum which bears to the amount which would be chargeable to tax apart from this paragraph the same proportion as the length of the foreign service bears to the length of the service before the relevant date.

Relief by reduction of tax

7In the case of any payment in respect of which tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act, the following relief shall be allowed by way of deduction from the tax chargeable by virtue of that section, that is to say, there shall be ascertained—

(a)the amount of tax which would be chargeable apart from this paragraph in respect of the income of the holder or past holder of the office or employment for the chargeable period of which the payment is treated as income,

(b)the amount of tax which would be so chargeable if the payment had not been made, and

(c)the difference between the respective amounts of tax which would be so chargeable on the assumptions—

(i)that the appropriate fraction only of the payment (after deducting any relief applicable thereto under the preceding provisions of this Schedule) had been made, and

(ii)that no part of the payment had been made,

and disregarding, in each case, any other emoluments of the office or employment,

and the amount to be deducted shall be the difference between the amount ascertained at (a) and the sum of the amount ascertained at (b) and the appropriate multiple of the difference ascertained at (c).

8(1)Where the income of the holder or past holder of the office or employment for the chargeable period of which the payment is treated as income includes income, income tax on which he is entitled to charge against any other person, or to deduct, retain or satisfy out of any payment which he is liable to make to any other person, the amounts referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) to (c) of paragraph 7 above shall be calculated as if that tax were not chargeable in respect of that income.

(2)Where for any year of assessment an individual claims relief under paragraph 7 above, and also under section 400 of this Act (gains arising in connection with life policies etc.) or Schedule 3 thereto (premiums etc. taxable under sections 80 to 82), or under both that section and that Schedule, then, in computing the relief under paragraph 7 above, his income shall be deemed to include—

(a)in respect of any amount which would otherwise be included therein by virtue of section 399(1)(a) of this Act, no greater amount than the appropriate fraction thereof within the meaning of the said section 400, and

(b)in respect of any chargeable sum within the meaning of the said Schedule 3 (including two or more sums treated for the purposes of paragraph 3 of that Schedule as one chargeable sum), no greater amount than the balance (if any) of the yearly equivalent thereof remaining after the making of any deduction required by the said paragraph 3.

9In this Schedule " the appropriate fraction " (except in paragraph 8(2)(a) above) and " the appropriate multiple ", in relation to any payment, mean respectively—

(a)where the payment is not a payment of compensation for loss of office, one-sixth and six, and

(b)where the payment is a payment of compensation for loss of office, one divided by the relevant number of years of unexpired service, and that number of years,

and for the purposes of this paragraph " the relevant number of years of unexpired service " means the number of complete years taken into account in calculating the amount of the payment, being years for which the holder of the office or employment would have been entitled (otherwise than by virtue of arrangements made in contemplation of his retirement or removal or of any relevant change in the functions or emoluments of the office or employment) to retain the office or employment or its full emoluments, and where the period taken into account as aforesaid is less than one complete year or exceeds an exact number of years, it shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as one complete year or as the next higher number of complete years, as the case may be.

10Where tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act in respect of two or more payments to or in respect of the same person in respect of the same office or employment and is so chargeable for the same chargeable period, those payments shall be treated for the purposes of paragraph 7 above as a single payment of an amount equal to their aggregate amount:

Provided that, where the appropriate fraction and the appropriate multiple are not the same for each of the payments, the calculations of relief under the said paragraph 7 shall be made separately in relation to each payment or payments having a different appropriate fraction and multiple, and in any such calculation—

(a)any payment for which the appropriate multiple is lower shall be left out of account for all the purposes of the said paragraph 7, and

(b)in ascertaining the difference at (c) of that paragraph it shall be assumed that the appropriate fraction only of any payment for which the appropriate multiple is higher had been made,

and the relief to be allowed shall be the sum of the reliefs so calculated in respect of the payments respectively.

11Where tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act in respect of two or more payments to or in respect of the same person in respect of different offices or employments, and is so chargeable for the same chargeable period, paragraphs 7 to 10 above shall apply as if those payments were made in respect of the same office or employment and as if any emoluments of any of those offices or employments were emoluments of the same office or employment.

Supplemental

12Any reference in the preceding provisions of this Schedule to a payment in respect of which tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act is a reference to so much of that payment as is chargeable to tax after deduction of the relief applicable thereto under section 188(3) of this Act.

13In this Schedule—

  • " payment of compensation for loss of office " means a payment made—

    (a)

    in pursuance of an order of a court in proceedings for wrongful dismissal or otherwise for breach of a contract of employment, or by way of settlement of such proceedings or of a claim in respect of which such proceedings could have been brought, or

    (b)

    by way of compensation for the extinguishment of any right the infringement of which would be actionable in such proceedings,

and any question whether, and to what extent, a payment is or is not a payment of compensation for loss of office shall be determined according to all the circumstances and not (or not exclusively) by reference to the terms on which it is expressed to be made.

14Any reference in this Schedule to the emoluments of an office or employment is a reference to those emoluments exclusive of any payment chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act; and in calculating for any purpose of this Schedule the amount of such emoluments—

(a)there shall be included any balancing charge to which the holder of the office or employment is liable under section 33 of the [1968 c. 3.] Capital Allowances Act 1968, and

(b)there shall be deducted any allowances under Chapter II of Part I of that Act, and any allowances for expenses under section 189 or 192 of this Act, to which he is entitled,

and any such charges or allowances as aforesaid for a chargeable period shall, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of the emoluments for any year of service, be treated as accruing from day to day, and shall be apportioned in respect of time accordingly.

15In this Schedule "the relevant date" means, in relation to a payment not being a payment in commutation of annual or other periodical payments, the date of the termination or change in respect of which it is made and, in relation to a payment in commutation of annual or other periodical payments, the date of the termination or change in respect of which those payments would have been made.

16In this Schedule "foreign service", in relation to an office or employment, means service such that tax was not chargeable in respect of the emoluments of the office or employment—

(a)in the case of the year 1956-57 or any subsequent chargeable period, under Case I of Schedule E,

(b)in the case of any preceding year of assessment, under Schedule E.

17Any reference in this Schedule to the amount of tax to which a person is or would be chargeable is a reference to the amount of tax to which he is or would be chargeable either by assessment or by deduction.

(2)If it appears after the end of any year of assessment either—(a) that in respect of distributions made by the company in the year the company is liable to account for income tax to an amount greater than the income tax (if any) borne by it on franked investment income received in the year and on any surplus of franked investment income carried forward to the year; or

(b)that in respect of payments made by the company in the year other than distributions the company is liable to account for income tax to an amount greater than the income tax (if any) borne by it by deduction on payments received in the year other than franked investment income ;

and the amount paid by and not repaid to the company in respect of the year in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above is less than the amount of the excess referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this sub-paragraph, the company shall be liable to pay the difference between the two last-mentioned amounts.

(3)The amount which a company is liable to pay for any year of assessment under sub-paragraph (2) above, if or in so far as it is not agreed between the company and the inspector, shall be recovered by means of an assessment made on the company.

(4)Where the amount of any tax payable in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above is agreed between the company and the inspector—

(a)it shall be due within fourteen days after it is so agreed,

(b)the making of an assessment charging that tax, or an appeal against the assessment, shall not affect the date given by paragraph (a) above,

(c)the power of making an assessment under sub-paragraph (3) above shall include power to make an assessment of the tax on that company if that tax, or any part of it, is not paid within the said fourteen days (whether or not it has been paid when the assessment is made).

(5)Income tax in respect of distributions included in a return, not being payments, shall be assessed on the company; and if it appears to the inspector that there are distributions (of whatever description), or payments to which paragraph 1 above applies which are not distributions, which ought to have been and have not been included in a return, or if the inspector is dissatisfied with any return, he may make an assessment on the company to the best of his judgment.

(6)Any tax assessable under any one or more of the provisions of this paragraph may be included in one assessment if the tax so included is all due on the same date.

(7)Where a company is liable to pay income tax in respect of any payment if, but only if, it amounts to or involves a distribution, and it is not in the circumstances apparent whether or how far it does so, then—

(a)particulars of the payment shall be included in the return under this paragraph ; but

(b)sub-paragraph (3) above shall not apply to the payment and income tax in respect of it shall be assessed as in the case of distributions other than payments.

Set-off of income tax borne on company income against tax payable

(2)If on the making of any such claim it is shown by the required evidence that income tax has been or will be paid in respect of any franked investment income or payment included in the claim, that tax shall be set against any income tax which the company has paid or is liable to pay in respect of distributions or other payments included in returns made under paragraph 2 above for the same year of assessment, and (where necessary) income tax paid by the company before the claim is allowed shall be repaid accordingly.

(3)Where, on a claim made under this paragraph for any year of assessment, account would be taken of distributions made by the company in the year, and the company has a surplus of franked investment income carried forward to that year (and not already dealt with under this paragraph), the claim shall so state and the income tax on the surplus shall under sub-paragraph (2) above be set against income tax on distributions made by the company (but not against income tax on other payments).

4(1)Where a claim has been made under paragraph 3 above no proceedings for collecting tax which would fall to be discharged if the claim were allowed shall be instituted pending the final determination of the claim, but this sub-paragraph shall not affect the date when the tax is due.

(2)When the claim is finally determined any tax underpaid in consequence of sub-paragraph (1) above shall be paid.

(3)Where proceedings are instituted for collecting tax assessed, or interest on tax assessed, under any provision of paragraph 2 above, effect shall not be given to any claim made after the institution of the proceedings so as to affect or delay the collection or recovery of the tax charged by the assessment or of interest thereon, until the claim has been finally determined.

5Income tax set against other tax under paragraph 3 above shall be treated as paid or repaid, as the case may be, and the same tax shall not be taken into account both under this Schedule and under section 240(5) of this Act; but for the purposes of the said section 240(5) any amount paid by a company by virtue of paragraph 1(2)(a) above shall be treated as if it were income tax borne by deduction on a payment not being franked investment income, and as if that payment had been received at the end of the year of assessment for which the said amount is paid, and the said amount shall be set off against corporation tax or repayable accordingly.

Assessment and due date of tax

6(1)All the provisions of the Income Tax Acts as to the time within which an assessment may be made, so far as they refer or relate to the year of assessment for which an assessment is made, or the year to which an assessment relates, shall apply to an assessment under this Schedule notwithstanding that, under this Schedule, the assessment may be said to relate to a month rather than to a year of assessment, and the provisions of sections 36 and 37 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 as to the circumstances in which an assessment may be made out of time shall apply accordingly on the footing that any such assessment relates to the year of assessment the standard rate for which is the rate at which tax is charged by the assessment.

then, subject to the provisions of paragraph 14 below relating to the cancellation by the said Commissioners or the Board of Trade of their approval or certificate, the provisions of this Part of this Schedule relating to taxation shall have effect in relation to any such underwriting member who duly elects as aforesaid.

Adherence to, and withdrawal from, arrangements

2(1)The arrangements must provide that an underwriting member who wishes to elect to take advantage of the arrangements shall do so by giving notice in writing to the inspector and to such other persons as may be specified in the arrangements.

(2)Any such notice as aforesaid is referred to in the following provisions of this Schedule as a notice of adherence, and, in the said provisions, " the underwriter " means an underwriting member who has given such a notice.

4Where the underwriter has given a notice of withdrawal, he shall not be entitled to give another notice of adherence.

Setting up and management of, and payments into and out of, special reserve funds

5The arrangements must provide for the setting up, in relation to the underwriter, of a special reserve fund vested in trustees who have control over it and power to invest the capital thereof and to vary the investments:

Provided that where part of the business of the underwriter is carried on through an underwriting agent and part thereof is not so carried on, or where different parts of his business are carried on through different underwriting agents, the arrangements may provide for separate special reserve funds being constituted in relation to the different parts of his business.

6The arrangements must provide for the income arising from the investments of the underwriter's special reserve fund or funds being held on trust for the underwriter, his personal representatives or assigns.

7(1)The arrangements must be such as to secure that if, for an underwriting year corresponding to a year of assessment to which this paragraph applies, the underwriter makes a profit from his business, he has the right to make, into his special reserve fund or funds, payments the gross amount of which is not in the aggregate greater than £7,000 or 50 per cent. of that profit, whichever is the less, or such less sum as may be specified in the arrangements:

Provided that—

(a)no such payment shall be made after the expiration of six months from the date as at which the accounts of the business for that underwriting year are deemed by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for the purposes of the arrangements to be closed, or such longer period as those Commissioners may allow ;

Provided that—

(a)in no case shall this paragraph apply to the year of assessment in which the underwriter commences to carry on his business or to the year of assessment next following that year;

(b)where the underwriter gives a notice of withdrawal, the last year of assessment to which this paragraph applies shall, subject to the provisions of the said paragraph 14, be the year of assessment corresponding to the underwriting year the accounts for which are deemed by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for the purposes of the arrangements to be closed as at a date falling within the year of assessment preceding that in which the notice of withdrawal is given.

(3)In sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph, " profit" means a profit computed in the manner in which the profits or gains of the business of the underwriting year in question would fall to be computed under Case I of Schedule D if—

(a)income arising from the investments forming part of the premiums trust fund of the underwriter, his special reserve fund or funds and any other fund required or authorised by the rules of Lloyd's or the association in question, or required by the underwriting agent through whom the business or any part thereof is carried on, to be kept in connection with the business fell to be taken into account, and

(b)all shares of the profits of the business and all charges related to those profits or to the said income, being shares and charges payable to persons other than the underwriter and not otherwise taken into account, fell to be deducted.

(4)In sub-paragraph (3)(a) above the reference to income arising from the investments forming part of the funds mentioned in the said sub-paragraph (3)(a) shall include the amount of the gains chargeable to tax under Case VII of Schedule D which accrue in the underwriting year in question from the acquisition and disposal of any such investments, after deducting from those gains losses accruing before the end of that year from any chargeable acquisition and disposal (within the meaning of Case VII of Schedule D) of any such investments so far as those losses are not under this sub-paragraph deductible from gains accruing in a previous underwriting year.

8(1)The arrangements must be such as to secure that, if it is certified that the underwriter has sustained a loss in his business for an underwriting year subsequent to that which corresponds to the first year of assessment to which paragraph 7 of this Schedule applies, there shall be made into his premiums trust fund, out of the capital of his special reserve fund or funds, payments the gross amount of which is equal in the aggregate to the certified amount of the loss:

Provided that if the capital of his special reserve fund or funds, reduced by so much thereof as represents sums paid into it or them as a consequence of a profit for a year later than the year of the loss, is less than the net amount of the payments required to be made by this sub-paragraph, the said payments shall be reduced so that the net amount thereof is equal to the capital of the said fund or funds as so reduced.

(2)In this paragraph, " loss" means a loss computed in the manner in which the profits or gains of the business of the underwriting year in question would fall to be computed under paragraph 7(3) above:

Provided that where, under any arrangement between the underwriter and another person which provides for the sharing of losses, any amount is paid to the underwriter by that person as that person's share of a loss for that year, the loss, as computed for the purposes of this paragraph, shall be reduced by that amount.

(3)In this paragraph, " certified " means certified by a certificate of the inspector:

Provided that—

(a)no certificate shall be given by the inspector until thirty days have elapsed from the date on which he has given to the underwriter or his personal representatives notice in writing stating his intention to give a certificate and stating the amount which he proposes to specify therein as the amount of the loss ;

(b)the underwriter or his personal representatives may, on giving notice in writing to the inspector within the said thirty days, appeal to the Special Commissioners ;

(c)where notice is so given by the underwriter or his personal representatives, the inspector shall not without the consent of the underwriter or his personal representatives give any certificate until after the hearing of the appeal; and

(d)on the hearing of the appeal, the Special Commissioners may direct the inspector not to give a certificate or to give it with such an amount specified therein as the amount of the loss as may be specified in the direction.

9(1)The arrangements may authorise the making of payments pursuant to paragraph 8(1) above on a provisional basis before the amount of the loss has been finally ascertained and certified by the inspector.

(2)The amount so withdrawn shall not exceed such proportion of the estimated loss as may be specified in the arrangements.

(3)When the amount of the loss has been certified by the inspector such adjustments shall be made by repayment to the underwriter's special reserve fund or funds, or by further withdrawal of sums for payment into the underwriter's premiums trust fund, as will secure that the net amount withdrawn from the underwriter's special reserve fund or funds in respect of the loss is that required pursuant to paragraph 8(1) above ; and no tax consequences shall ensue on the withdrawal of sums in respect of a loss until the amount of the loss has been so certified and any such adjustments have been made.

10The arrangements must provide that, on the underwriter ceasing to carry on his business, the capital of his special reserve fund or funds, so far as not required for giving effect to the requirements of paragraph 8 above, shall be paid over to the underwriter or his personal representatives or assigns.

Income tax consequences

11(1)Where such a payment as is mentioned in paragraph 7(1) above is made into a special reserve fund of an underwriter by reason of the making by him of a profit for an underwriting year—

(a)the payment shall be deemed for all income tax purposes to be an annual payment chargeable to income tax by way of deduction and payable and paid in the year of assessment corresponding to that underwriting year ; and

(b)the sum actually paid shall be deemed for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule and for all income tax purposes to be a net amount corresponding to a gross amount from which income tax has been duly deducted at the standard rate for that year of assessment.

(2)Where such a payment as is mentioned in paragraph 8(1) above is made out of a special reserve fund of an underwriter into a premiums trust fund of his by reason that he has sustained a loss for an underwriting year then, subject to paragraph 9(3) above—

(a)the payment shall be deemed for all income tax purposes—

(i)to be an annual payment chargeable to income tax by way of deduction and paid out of profits or gains brought into charge to income tax ; and

(ii)to have been payable and paid to the underwriter ; and

(iii)to have been payable and paid to him on the last day of the year of assessment which immediately preceded the year of assessment corresponding to that underwriting year or, if he ceased to carry on his business before that day, on the last day on which he carried on his business ; and

(b)the sum actually paid shall be deemed for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule and for all income tax purposes to be a net amount corresponding to a gross amount from which income tax has been duly deducted at the standard rate for the year of assessment in which the payment is deemed as aforesaid to have been payable and paid.

(3)Where the underwriter ceases to carry on his business before his death and, under so much of the arrangements as gives effect to paragraph 10 of this Schedule, a sum is paid to him or his personal representatives or assigns—

(a)the payment shall be deemed for all income tax purposes—

(i)to be an annual payment chargeable to income tax by way of deduction and paid out of profits or gains brought into charge to income tax ; and

(4)Neither the arrangements, nor any disposition, trust, covenant, agreement or arrangement entered into for the purposes thereof, shall be treated as included in the expression " settlement" for the purposes of Chapter LTI or Chapter IV of Part XVI of this Act, and nothing in section 31 of this Act (surtax relief where income for a period exceeding a year is received in a year) shall be construed as applying to the payments referred to in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) of this paragraph.

12(1)In this paragraph "the lower limit" means the limit which would be imposed by paragraph 7(1) above if the words " £5,000 or 35 per cent. of that profit, whichever is the less " stood in that sub-paragraph in place of the words " £7,000 or 50 per cent. of that profit, whichever is the less ".

(2)Where an underwriter dies while carrying on his business and, after giving effect to the requirements of paragraph 8 above, his special reserve fund or funds include an amount which represents an excess in the payments made into the fund or funds for any underwriting year over the lower limit—

(a)he shall be deemed for all income tax purposes to have received in the year of assessment corresponding to the said underwriting year a payment of the said amount—

(i)which was an annual payment chargeable to income tax by way of deduction and paid out of profits or gains brought into charge to income tax, and

(ii)which was payable in the year of assessment in which it is deemed to have been paid, and

(b)the payment (to the said actual amount) shall be deemed for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule and for all income tax purposes to be a net amount corresponding to a gross amount from which tax has been duly deducted at the standard rate for the year of assessment in which the amount is deemed as aforesaid to have been payable and paid.

(3)Where, to give effect to the requirements of the said paragraph 8 as to the meeting of a loss, any withdrawal was made at any time from the capital of the underwriter's special reserve fund or funds, the amount withdrawn shall be regarded for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) above—

(a)as having been met out of payments made into the fund or funds for underwriting years before that in which the loss was incurred, and as having been met before any withdrawal to meet a loss for a later underwriting year, and

(b)as having been met out of so much of the payments made for any underwriting year as was not in excess of the lower limit, rather than out of such part of the payments made for any underwriting year as was in excess of the lower limit, and

(c)subject to that, as having been met out of payments in excess of the lower limit for a later year rather than out of payments in excess of the lower limit for an earlier year,

and, where payments have been made into the underwriter's special reserve fund or funds for any underwriting year in excess of the lower limit, his fund or funds shall be deemed at all subsequent times to include an amount representing that excess except to the extent that any withdrawal is, under the provisions of this sub-paragraph, to be regarded as having been met out of that amount.

(4)Any tax chargeable by virtue of this paragraph shall be assessed and charged upon the underwriter's personal representatives and tax so charged shall be a debt due from and payable out of his estate; and, notwithstanding section 34(1) of the Taxes Management Act 1970 (which requires assessments to be made not later than six years after the end of the year to which they relate), assessments in respect of tax so chargeable may be made at any time not later than three years after the end of the year of assessment in which the underwriter died.

(5)References in this paragraph to payments made into a special reserve fund or funds for any underwriting year are references to payments made, as described in paragraph 7(1) above, by reference to the profits made for that underwriting year.

(a)no underwriting member may give a notice of adherence to the arrangements after the date of the cancellation ; and

(2)The trustees of any such fund shall (subject to sub-paragraph (3) below) be assessed and charged to income tax at the standard rate as if sub-paragraph (1) above had not been passed, and may, notwithstanding anything in any enactment or in the trusts of the fund, out of any gain accruing from the acquisition and disposal of an investment of the fund make good to the underwriting member any increase in the surtax borne by him which is attributable to that gain.

(3)The assessment to be made on the trustees of a fund by virtue of this paragraph for any year of assessment shall not take account of losses accruing in any previous year of assessment, and if for that or any other reason the tax paid on behalf of an underwriting member for any year of assessment by virtue of assessments so made exceeds the tax for which he is liable, the excess shall be repaid on a claim being made by him.

PART IIRelief in Respect of Certain Payments

2The question whether any, and if so, what, relief is to be given shall be determined separately in relation to each payment made under the scheme in respect of the trade, but for the purpose of determining that question regard shall be had, as hereinafter provided, to the sum (hereafter in this Schedule referred to as "the total payment") produced by adding the amount of the payment to the amount of any payments previously so made.

3No relief shall be given in respect of the payment unless the person chargeable shows—

(a)the amount of the damage in respect of which the total payment has been made ; and

(b)how much of that amount is referable to damage in respect of which no relief may be given under the Tax Acts.

4No relief shall be given in respect of the payment unless the total payment, or the amount of the damage in respect of which the total payment has been made, whichever is the smaller, exceeds the aggregate amount of the deductible contributions which have been paid in furtherance of the scheme in respect of the trade in question before the payment is made, exclusive of any contributions which have been repaid before the payment is made.

5The amount of the reduction to be made in respect of the payment shall be arrived at by—

(b)deducting from the said sum the total amount of any reductions which have been or fall to be made under this Schedule in respect of payments previously made under the scheme in respect of the trade.

6(1)For the purposes of this Schedule, damage shall be deemed to be damage in respect of which relief may be given under the Tax Acts if and only if—

(a)the damage is attributable to any of the following events, that is to say, the demolition, destruction or putting out of use of any asset, or the disposition or termination of an interest in any asset, and, by reason of that event, an allowance falls to be made under Chapter I or Chapter II of Part I of the [1968 c. 3.] Capital Allowances Act 1968 in taxing the trade; or

(b)the damage consists of any loss, liability, expense or other burden in respect of which an allowance may be made in computing the profits or gains of the trade for the purposes of the Tax Acts ;

Provided that where an allowance under the said Chapter I in respect of any damage falls to be reduced in the proportion specified in section 3(4) of the Capital Allowances Act 1968, only a proportionately reduced amount of the damage shall be treated as being referable to damage in respect of which relief may be given under the Tax Acts.

(2)Where any event occurs which would give rise to an allowance under the Tax Acts in respect of any asset in taxing, or computing the profits or gains of, a trade but for any of the following matters, that is to say—

(b)that account is required to be taken of allowances previously made or deemed to have been made in respect of the asset; or

(d)that account is required to be taken of any sum falling to be taken into account as sale, insurance, salvage or compensation moneys,

the like consequences shall ensue under this Schedule as if an allowance had fallen to be made by reason of that event.

(3)Where any damage is attributable to a permanent change in the purposes for which an asset is used, or the temporary or permanent putting out of use of an asset, the question whether the damage is damage in respect of which relief may be given under the Tax Acts shall be determined as if the damage had been attributable to a sale of the asset on the date upon which the change or putting out of use took place.

PART IIIExclusion of Relief in respect of Contributions Paid after Relief has been given under Part II of this Schedule

7The provisions of this Part of this Schedule shall have effect where—

(a)a contribution is paid under a scheme in respect of a trade ; and

(b)before the contribution is paid, payments have been made under the scheme to the person carrying on the trade ; and

(c)reductions have been made, under the preceding provisions of this Schedule, in the amounts which, by reason of those payments, are to be treated as trading receipts of the trade.

8There shall be ascertained—

(a)the total amount of the said reductions ; and

(b)the sum by which that total would have been decreased if the contribution, and any previous contributions to which this Part of this Schedule applies, had been paid before any of the payments were made.

9For the purpose of determining what deduction is to be made in respect of the contribution under section 406 of this Act, the contribution shall be deemed to be reduced by the sum specified in paragraph 8(6) above, but—

(a)for the purpose of the application of the said paragraph 8 in relation to contributions subsequently paid under the scheme in respect of the trade, the total amount of the reductions referred to in that paragraph shall be treated as decreased by that sum ; and

(6)for the purpose of the application of paragraph 5 above in relation to payments subsequently made under the scheme in respect of the trade, the total amount of the reductions referred to in paragraph 5 above shall be treated as decreased by the said sum.

Have agreed as follows:—

Article 1

Agreement of 23rd June 1960

[Note.—See paragraph (1) of note to agreement of 4th April 1959.]

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM TAX.

The Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the Republic of Ireland,

Considering the Agreement of the 14th April, 1926, between the British Government and the Government of the Irish Free State in pursuance of which exemptions from tax are conferred on persons resident in one only of the countries from tax under the law of the other,

Considering that legislation may be enacted in either country to maintain the proper incidence of liability to income tax and to prevent the obtaining of undue tax advantages,

Considering that such legislation may be insufficiently effective unless, as well as applying to persons resident in the country where it is enacted, it applies also to persons not so resident but resident in the other of the two countries and accordingly affects exemptions from tax conferred in pursuance of the said Agreement of 1926,

Recognising that the legislation which was the subject of the Agreement of the 4th April, 1959, made between the two Governments affected the said exemptions in particular ways, and desiring to supplement that Agreement by a more general Agreement,

Desiring to declare that save as provided by this Agreement the continuance in force of the said Agreement of 1926 shall not be affected by the enactment of such legislation,

Have agreed as follows:—

Article 1

Legislation enacted in either country at any time after the date of this Agreement and affecting in any way exemptions from income tax of that country of persons resident in that country shall, except as otherwise provided by the legislation and subject to the next following Article of this Agreement, have the like effect on exemptions from that tax which persons enjoy as not resident in that country but resident in the other of the two countries, and the enactment of such legislation shall not affect the continuance in force of the said Agreement of 1926, as amended by Agreements of the 25th April, 1928, the 21st July, 1947, and the 4th April, 1959, and this Agreement.

Article 2

If the Government of either country represents that any provisions of legislation enacted in the other country, being provisions falling within Article 1 of this Agreement, are nevertheless not within the intention of the Agreement, the two Governments shall consult and if they agree that Article 1 ought not to apply the Government of the country in which the legislation was enacted shall take the necessary steps to secure that the said provisions shall not affect, or be deemed to have affected, exemptions from the income tax of that country which persons enjoy as not resident therein but resident in the other country.

Article 3

This Agreement shall become effective on the exchange of notes confirming that the necessary steps have been taken to give it the force of law in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, and thereafter shall remain effective only so long as it has the force of law in both countries.

Dated this 23rd day of June, 1960.

PART IISection 27 of the [1920 c. 18.] Finance Act 1920 as it applies in the United Kingdom in relation to Republic of Ireland Income Tax

27(1)If any person who has paid, by deduction or otherwise, or is liable to pay, United Kingdom income tax for any year of assessment on any part of his income proves that he has paid Republic of Ireland income tax for that year in respect of the same part of his income, he shall be entitled to relief from United Kingdom income tax paid or payable by him on that part of his income at a rate thereon to be determined in accordance with the provisions in that behalf of Article 2 of the agreement dated 25th April 1928 set out in Part I of Schedule 12 to the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970.

(2)Where a person has not established his claim to relief under this section for any year of assessment before the 1st January in that year, the relief shall be granted by way of repayment of tax.

. . . . . . . . . .

(4)Notwithstanding anything in the provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970 and, in particular, notwithstanding anything in section 516 of that Act, no deduction shall be made on account of the payment of Republic of Ireland income tax in estimating income for the purposes of United Kingdom income tax, and where income tax has been paid or is payable in the Republic of Ireland either on the income out of which income subject to United Kingdom income tax arises or is received, or as a direct charge in respect of that income, the income so subject to United Kingdom income tax shall be deemed to be income arising or received after deduction of Republic of Ireland income tax, and an addition shall, in estimating income for the purposes of the United Kingdom income tax, be made to that income of the proportionate part of the income tax paid or payable in the Republic of Ireland in respect of the income out of which that income arises or is received, together with the full amount of any Republic of Ireland income tax directly charged or chargeable in the Republic of Ireland in respect of that income:

Provided that where any income arising or received as aforesaid consists of dividends which are entrusted to any person in the United Kingdom for payment and the Board are satisfied that the person so entrusted is not in a position to ascertain the amount of the addition to be made under this subsection, the assessment and charge may be made on the amount of the dividends as received by the person so entrusted, but in any such case the amount of the addition shall be chargeable on the recipient of the dividends under Case VI of Schedule D.

In the above proviso, the expression " dividends" includes any interest, annuities, dividends, shares of annuities or other annual payments in respect of which tax is charged under Schedule C, or under section 159 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970; and the jurisdiction of the Special Commissioners on any appeal shall include jurisdiction to review any decision of the Board under that proviso.

. . . . . . . . . .

(7)The Board may from time to time make regulations generally for carrying out the provisions of this section, and may in particular by those regulations provide—

(3)The emoluments excepted from Cases I and II of Schedule E as foreign emoluments shall not include the emoluments of a person resident in the United Kingdom from an office or employment under or with a person, body of persons or partnership resident in the Republic of Ireland.

SCHEDULE 14Savings and Transitory Provisions

(3)In applying sub-paragraph (2) above it shall be assumed—

(a)that all relief which could not be affected by the operation of that sub-paragraph was given (for all years of assessment and accounting periods before or after the passing of this Act) before relief which could be affected by the operation of that sub-paragraph, and

(4)Where the duration of a lease falls to be ascertained after the date on which the lease has for any reason come to an end, the duration shall be taken to have extended from its commencement to that date, and where the duration falls to be ascertained at a time when the lease is subsisting the preceding provisions of this paragraph shall be applied in accordance with circumstances prevailing at that time.

(5)In relation to Scotland the expression " term " in this paragraph, where referring to the duration of a lease, means " period ".

(6)This paragraph shall be construed as one with Part III of this Act.

(4)In this paragraph " building society " includes any company within section 445(6) of the Income Tax Act 1952.

Repeal of section 136 of the Income Tax Act 1952: allowance of annual value of land as a business expense

6(1)This paragraph has effect for allowing deductions by reference to those which would have fallen to be made if section 136 of the Income Tax Act 1952 had applied for the years 1963-64 and 1964-65.

(2)Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, an allowance under this paragraph shall be made to the person carrying on a trade where land which was occupied by him at any time before the end of the year 1962-63 for the purposes of the trade permanently ceases to be occupied by him for those purposes.

(3)The amount of the allowance shall be the excess of—

(a)the aggregate of any deductions in respect of the annual value of the land which, by virtue of section 136 of the Income Tax Act 1952, would have been made in computing the profits or gains of the trade for the years 1963-64 and 1964-65 but for section 29(1) of the [1963 c. 25.] Finance Act 1963 and the repeal by that Act of the said section 136, over

(b)the aggregate of any deductions relating to the land made in computing the profits or gains of the trade for those years, being—

(i)deductions permitted by section 29(2) of the said Act of 1963, so far as made in respect of the period in respect of which the deductions mentioned in paragraph (a) above would have been made, or

(ii)deductions in respect of rent from which an amount representing tax was deducted under section 173 of the said Act of 1952, so far as made in respect of that period.

(4)The allowance shall be made by—

(a)treating the amount of it as rent paid for the land by the said person (in addition to any actual rent), becoming due from day to day during the period defined in sub-paragraph (5) below, and

(b)allowing deductions accordingly in computing the profits or gains of the trade chargeable under Case I of Schedule D for any chargeable period the profits or gains for which fall to be computed by reference to a period including the period defined in sub-paragraph (5) below or any part thereof.

(5)The said period is that ending when the land permanently ceases to be occupied by the said person for the purposes of the trade, and of a duration equal to the aggregate of—

(a)the number of months and fractions of months during which the land was occupied by him for the purposes of the trade in so much of the period by reference to which the profits or gains of the trade for the year 1963-64 fell to be computed as fell before the beginning of that year, and

(b)the number of months and fractions of months during which the land was so occupied in so much of the period by reference to which the profits or gains of the trade for the year 1964-65 fell to be computed as fell before the beginning of the year 1963-64.

(6)No allowance shall be made under this paragraph where the date on which the land permanently ceases to be occupied by the said person for the purposes of the trade—

(a)falls within a chargeable period in which he permanently ceases to carry on the trade, or

(b)the said person not being a company, falls within a year of assessment and also within a period by reference to which the profits or gains of the trade for that year of assessment fall to be computed.

(7)Where, by reason of a change in the persons carrying on the trade, the trade falls to be treated for any of the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as permanently discontinued, a person engaged in carrying on the trade immediately before the change occurred who continues to be so engaged immediately after it occurred shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as not having been in occupation of the land at any time before it occurred.

(8)Where there has been a change in the persons carrying on the trade, but by virtue of section 154 of this Act, or section 17(1) of the [1954 c. 44.] Finance Act 1954 (company reconstructions before introduction of corporation tax), the trade does not by reason of the change fall to be treated for any of the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as permanently discontinued, this paragraph (including this sub-paragraph) shall apply as if any occupation of the land before the change occurred by the persons carrying on the trade immediately before it occurred were occupation by the persons carrying on the trade immediately after it occurred.

(9)Where section 252(1) of this Act (company reconstructions) applies, then for the purposes of this paragraph any occupation of land for the purposes of the trade by the predecessor shall be treated as having been the occupation of the successor. Subsection (6) of the said section 252 shall apply to this sub-paragraph as it applies to subsections (2) to (5) of that section, and in this sub-paragraph " predecessor " and " successor" have the same meaning as in that section.

(10)Where section 352 of this Act (harbour reorganisation schemes) has effect, then for the purposes of this paragraph any occupation of land for the purposes of the trade by the transferor shall be treated as having been the occupation of the transferee.

This sub-paragraph shall be construed as one with the said section 352, and as if it were referred to in subsection (1(3)(b) of that section.

(11)The preceding provisions of this paragraph shall apply in relation to a profession or vocation as they apply in relation to a trade, but as if the reference in sub-paragraph (4) to Case I of Schedule D were a reference to Case II of that Schedule.

8Where, on or before 19th June 1969—

(a)paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 7 to the [1965 c. 25.] Finance Act 1965 (transfer of business on amalgamation or reconstruction to be on a no-gain, no-loss basis in certain cases) applied on the transfer of the whole or part of a business to a body which is not a company as defined in section 526(5) of this Act (with section 354 of this Act), but
