Section 1003: Redeemable share capital
2972.This section explains how the amount of a distribution is identified when a distribution falls within paragraph C in section 1000 because redeemable share capital is issued partly for new consideration. It is based on section 209(2) and (8) of ICTA.
2973.If a premium is payable to the holder of this type of share capital, either on redemption or otherwise, the amount of the premium is added to the value of the share capital for the purposes of calculating the amount of the distribution.
2974.For example, the nominal value of the share capital is £1000 and the premium payable on redemption is £100. The total value calculated by section 1003 is therefore £1100. If the recipient gives, say, £900 for those shares the amount of the distribution is £200.
