Section 462: Company reorganisations etc.
1931.This section derives from section 82(3) of FA 1988 and concerns exchanges of shares under company reorganisations. The main effect is to adopt the capital gains tax rule under which new holdings are treated as acquired as the original shares were.
1932.Subsections (3) and (4) derive from section 82(3)(b) and (c) of FA 1988. Subsection (3)(b) reflects what is meant by the rather obscure phrase “as is mentioned in section 128(1) and (2)” in section 82(3)(b).
