Finance Act 2014 Explanatory Notes

Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992

143.Paragraph 18 amends the share pooling and identification rules so that shares which were most recently acquired on a disposal to which section 236H applied are treated as being of a different class from other shares of the same company held by the trustees (if they would otherwise be treated as being of the same class). This means that EOT exempt shares (see paragraph 46 on new section 236S TCGA above) are pooled separately from other shares and the other share identification rules which apply on disposals are applied separately to EOT exempt shares. The new rules apply to any disposal on or after 6 April 2014.
