Chapter 2 U.K. Contracts to which this Part applies

Other contracts etc treated as derivative contracts U.K.

588 Associated transaction treated as derivative contract U.K.

(1) This section is to be read as if it were in Chapter 7 (shares with guaranteed returns etc) of Part 6 (relationships treated as loan relationships etc).

(2) See, in particular—

• section 526(2) (meaning of “non-qualifying share”), and

• section 532 (meaning of “associated transaction” and “the associated transactions condition”).

(3) Subsection (4) applies in a case which falls within section 523(1)(b)(ii) (loan relationships: non-qualifying shares) because the share mentioned in section 523(1)(a) is a non-qualifying share as a result of the associated transactions condition being met.

(4) An associated transaction is treated for the purposes of this Part as a derivative contract or a transaction in respect of a derivative contract if it is not in fact such a contract or transaction.

(5) For the way in which credits and debits are to be brought into account where subsection (4) applies, see section 603 (application of fair value accounting).
