SCHEDULE 13U.K.Sale and repurchase of securities

Purpose of ScheduleU.K.

1(1)The purpose of this Schedule is to secure that in the case of an arrangement—U.K.

(a)which involves the sale of securities and the subsequent purchase of securities, and

(b)which equates, in substance, to a transaction for the lending of money at interest from or to a company (with the securities which were sold as collateral for the loan),

the charge to corporation tax in that case [F1in respect of chargeable gains] reflects the fact that the arrangement equates, in substance, to such a transaction.

(2)But this is not to be read as preventing the rules in this Schedule about corporation tax in respect of chargeable gains from having no effect in relation to debtor quasi-repos and creditor quasi-repos.
