92Qualifying amounts and matching
(1)If section 87 applies to a settlement for the year 1992-93 or a subsequent year of assessment the settlement shall have a qualifying amount for the year, and the amount shall be the amount computed for the settlement in respect of the year concerned under section 87(2).
(2)The settlement shall continue to have the same qualifying amount (if any) for the [1991 c. 31.] year 1990-91 or 1991-92 as it had for that year by virtue of paragraph 2 of Schedule 17 to the Finance Act 1991 (subject to subsection (3) below).
(3)Where—
(a)capital payments are made by the trustees of a settlement on or after 6th April 1991, and
(b)the payments are made in a year or years of assessment for which section 87 applies to the settlement or in circumstances where section 89(2) treats chargeable gains as accruing in respect of the payments,
the payments shall be matched with qualifying amounts of the settlement for the year 1990-91 and subsequent years of assessment (so far as the amounts are not already matched with payments by virtue of this subsection).
(4)In applying subsection (3) above—
(a)earlier payments shall be matched with earlier amounts;
(b)payments shall be carried forward to be matched with future amounts (so far as not matched with past amounts);
(c)a payment which is less than an unmatched amount (or part) shall be matched to the extent of the payment;
(d)a payment which is more than an unmatched amount (or part) shall be matched, as to the excess, with other unmatched amounts.
(5)Where part only of a capital payment is taxable, the part which is not taxable shall not fall to be matched until taxable parts of other capital payments (if any) made in the same year of assessment have been matched; and subsections (3) and (4) above shall have effect accordingly.
(6)For the purposes of subsection (5) above a part of a capital payment is taxable if the part results in chargeable gains accruing under section 87 or 89(2).
