[F2 432B Apportionment of receipts brought into account. U.K.

(1) This section and [F3 sections 432C to 432F] have effect where it is necessary in accordance with section 83 of the Finance Act 1989 to determine what parts of any items [F4 brought into account, within the meaning of that section,] are referable to life assurance business or any [F5 category] of life assurance business.

[F6 (2) Where for that purpose reference falls to be made to more than one account recognised for the purposes of that section, the provisions of sections 432C to 432F apply separately in relation to each account.]

(3) Sections 432C and 432D apply where the business with which an account is concerned (“the relevant business”) relates exclusively to policies or contracts under which the policy holders or annuitants are not eligible to participate in surplus; and [F7 sections 432E and 432F apply] where the relevant business relates wholly or partly to other policies or contracts. ]

[F8 (4) The following provisions of this section have effect where sections 432C and 432D—

(a) apply in relation to any account for a fund in which shareholders' excess assets are held, and

(b) apply in relation to that account in relation to any period of account beginning on or after 1st January 2005 F9 . . . .

(5) The part of the amount brought into account as income which is referable in accordance with section 432C to any category of business apart from—

(a) basic life assurance and general annuity business, and

(b) overseas life assurance business,

is reduced by the relevant fraction of the shareholders' excess income.

(6) The part of the amount brought into account as the increase or decrease in the value of assets or as other income which is referable in accordance with section 432D to any category of business apart from basic life assurance and general annuity business is reduced or increased as follows.

(7) The part of that amount is—

(a) reduced by the relevant fraction of the shareholders' excess gains, or

(b) increased by the relevant fraction of the shareholders' excess losses,

as the case may be.

[F10 (8) But if, in relation to the fund in question, an election in accordance with Rule 9.10(c) of the Prudential Sourcebook (Insurers) has effect for the period of account, the following rules apply.

(8A) In any case where there are adjusted shareholders' excess gains (“amount A”) and an adjusted increase in value of inherited estate assets (“amount B”), the part of the amount mentioned in subsection (6) (“the relevant amount”) is reduced by the relevant fraction of the lower of amounts A and B.

(8B) The difference between amounts A and B is carried forward to the next period of account—

(a) as shareholders' excess gains (if amount A is the greater amount), or

(b) as an increase in value of inherited estate assets (if amount B is the greater amount).

(8C) In any case where there are adjusted shareholders' excess losses (“amount C”) and an adjusted decrease in value of inherited estate assets (“amount D”), the relevant amount is increased by the relevant fraction of the lower of amounts C and D.

(8D) The difference between amounts C and D is carried forward to the next period of account—

(a) as shareholders' excess losses (if amount C is the greater amount), or

(b) as a decrease in value of inherited estate assets (if amount D is the greater amount).

(8E) In any other case—

(a) the relevant amount is neither reduced nor increased, and

(b) the adjusted shareholders' excess gains or losses, and the adjusted increase or decrease in value of inherited estate assets, are carried forward to the next period of account as shareholders' excess gains or losses and an increase or decrease in value of inherited estate assets (as the case may be).

(8F) For the purposes of subsections (8A) to (8E), in relation to any period of account (“the relevant period”), the adjusted shareholders' excess gains or losses, and the adjusted increase or decrease in value of inherited estate assets, are determined as follows.

Step 1

Find the amount of shareholders' excess gains or losses, and the amount of the increase or decrease in value of inherited estate assets, for the relevant period.

Step 2

Find the amount (if any) of shareholders' excess gains or losses, and the amount (if any) of the increase or decrease in value of inherited estate assets, carried forward to the relevant period (without being taken into account for the purposes of step 3 or 4 in any previous period of account).

Step 3

This step applies if, for the relevant period, there are shareholders' excess gains or an increase in value of inherited estate assets.

• In such a case—

  (a)

  increase that amount by the amount of any such gains or (as the case may be) of any such increase in value so carried forward to the relevant period, or

  (b)

  reduce that amount (but not below nil) by the amount of any shareholders' excess losses or (as the case may be) of any decrease in value of inherited estate assets so carried forward to the relevant period.

• The resulting amount is the adjusted shareholders' excess gains or (as the case may be) the adjusted increase in value of inherited estate assets for the relevant period.

Step 4

This step applies if, for the relevant period, there are shareholders' excess losses or a decrease in value of inherited estate assets.

• In such a case—

  (a)

  increase that amount by the amount of any such losses or (as the case may be) of any such decrease in value so carried forward to the relevant period, or

  (b)

  reduce that amount (but not above nil) by the amount of any shareholders' excess gains or (as the case may be) of any increase in value of inherited estate assets so carried forward to the relevant period.

• The resulting amount is the adjusted shareholders' excess losses or (as the case may be) the adjusted decrease in value of inherited estate assets for the relevant period.

(8G) For the purposes of subsections (8A) to (8F), in relation to any company and any period of account,—

“decrease in value of inherited estate assets” means so much of the amount of the decrease in value of assets brought into account in line 13 of Form 40 in the periodical return of the company for that period as relates to shareholders' excess assets;
