120“Disposal of a right of the individual to profits arising from the trade”
(1)The reference in section 119(1)(b) to a disposal of a right of the individual to profits arising from the trade includes, in particular—
(a)the disposal, giving up or loss by the individual, or by a partnership of which he is a member, of any right to any income (or any part of any income) where the right arises from the trade;
(b)any default in the payment of income to which the individual, or a partnership of which he is a member, has a right arising from the trade;
(c)a change in the individual’s entitlement to any profits arising from the trade such that his share of the profits is reduced or extinguished;
(d)a change in the individual’s entitlement to any losses arising from the trade such that he becomes entitled to a share, or a greater share, of the losses without becoming entitled to a corresponding share of profits;
(e)the disposal, giving up or loss of the individual’s interest in a partnership that carries on the trade, including the dissolution of the partnership.
(2)It is immaterial for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) whether the right is disposed of alone or as part of a larger disposal (and the references here to disposal include giving up or loss).
(3)If there is an agreement under which the individual is entitled—
(a)to a particular share of any profits or losses arising from the trade in a period, and
(b)to a different share of any profits or losses arising from the trade in a succeeding period (“the later period”),
his entitlement to the profits or losses arising in the later period shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (1)(c) and (d) as changing at the beginning of the later period; and in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection a “share” of profits or losses includes a nil share.
