Changes and effects yet to be applied to the whole Act associated Parts and Chapters:

Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):

6(1)Section 74A of ITA, and the other provisions inserted into that Act by this Schedule so far as relating to that section, have effect in relation to any loss made by an individual in the tax year 2007-08 or any subsequent tax year.U.K.

(2)But those provisions do not have effect in relation to a loss made by an individual in a tax year the basis period for which ended before 12 March 2008.

(3)If the basis period for the tax year in which a loss is made by an individual begins before 12 March 2008 and ends on or after that date (a “straddling basis period”), the amount of that loss for the purposes of section 74A of ITA 2007 is—

(a)the amount of sideways relief and capital gains relief which (after applying the restrictions under the other provisions of Chapter 2 of Part 4 of that Act) may be given to the individual for that loss, less

(b)the amount (if any) of the pre-announcement loss.

(4)“The pre-announcement loss” is determined as follows.

(5)Calculate the profits or losses of the straddling basis period, but without regard to capital allowances and qualifying film expenditure (within the meaning of section 74D of ITA 2007).

(6)If that calculation produces a loss, apportion the loss produced by that calculation to the part of the straddling basis period which falls before 12 March 2008 in proportion to the number of days in that part.

(7)Calculate so much of the loss of the straddling basis period as derives from relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure.

(8)The pre-announcement loss is the sum of—

(a)the amount of the loss apportioned under sub-paragraph (6) (if any), and

(b)so much of the loss of the straddling period (if any) as derives from relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure.

(9)For the purposes of this paragraph the amount of the loss of the straddling basis period that derives from relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure is determined on a just and reasonable basis.

(10)In this paragraph “relevant pre-announcement capital expenditure” means—

(a)any capital allowance in respect of expenditure paid before 12 March 2008, and

(b)any capital allowance in respect of expenditure paid on or after that date pursuant to an unconditional obligation in a contract made before that date;

and for this purpose “an unconditional obligation” means an obligation which may not be varied or extinguished by the exercise of any right conferred on the individual in question (whether or not under the contract).
