(1)The basic rule is that a transfer of an intangible asset—
(a)from a company to a related party, or
(b)to a company from a related party,
is treated for all purposes of the Taxes Acts as being at market value (as respects both the company and the related party) if condition A or B is met.
(2)Condition A is that the asset is a chargeable intangible asset in relation to the transferor immediately before the transfer.
(3)Condition B is that the asset is a chargeable intangible asset in relation to the transferee immediately after the transfer.
(4)That rule is subject to—
(a)section 846 (transfers not at arm's length),
(b)section 847 (transfers involving other taxes),
(c)section 848 (tax-neutral transfers), and
(d)section 849 (transfers involving gifts of business assets).
(5)In subsection (1)—
“market value” means the price the asset might reasonably be expected to fetch on a sale in the open market, and
“the Taxes Acts” means the enactments relating to income tax, corporation tax or chargeable gains.
(1)Section 845 does not apply if the consideration for the transfer—
(a)falls to be adjusted for tax purposes under [F1Part 4 of TIOPA 2010] (provision not at arm's length), or
(b)falls within [F2that Part] without falling to be so adjusted.
(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) the consideration for a transfer falls [F3within that Part] without falling to be adjusted under it if—
[F4(a)the condition in section 147(1)(a) of TIOPA 2010 is met,
(aa)the participation condition is met (see subsection (2A)), and]
(b)the actual provision does not differ from the arm's length provision.
[F5(2A)Section 148 of TIOPA 2010 (when the participation condition is met) applies for the purposes of subsection (2)(aa) as it applies for the purposes of section 147(1)(b) of TIOPA 2010.]
(3)In subsection (2) “the actual provision” and “the arm's length provision” have the same meaning [F6as in that Part (see, respectively, sections 149 and 151 of TIOPA 2010)].
