Commencement

44 (1) The amount of chargeable gains to be included in the company’s total profits for the straddling period is the total of—

(a) the chargeable gains accruing to the company in the pre-commencement period, after making any deductions under section 2A(1) of TCGA 1992, and

(b) the chargeable gains accruing to the company in the post-commencement period, after making any deductions under that section.

(2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a) and (b), section 2A of TCGA 1992 applies as if the pre-commencement period and the post-commencement period were separate accounting periods, subject to the modification in sub-paragraph (3).

(3) For the purposes of determining the amount to be included in the company’s total profits in respect of chargeable gains for a period, the reference in section 2A(1)(a) of TCGA 1992 to any allowable losses accruing to the company in the period is to be treated as including—

(a) for the purposes of the pre-commencement period, a reference to any allowable losses accruing to the company in the post-commencement period so far as they exceed the chargeable gains accruing to the company in the post-commencement period, and

(b) for the purposes of the post-commencement period, a reference to any available allowable losses accruing to the company in the pre-commencement period so far as they exceed the chargeable gains accruing to the company in the pre-commencement period.

(4) For the purposes of applying Part 7ZA of CTA 2010 in relation to the straddling period—

(a) section 269ZBA of that Act applies in relation to the post-commencement period as if it were a separate accounting period,

(b) the reference in section 269ZF(4)(h) to deductions under section 2A(1)(b) of TCGA 1992 is to be treated as if it were a reference only to deductions under that provision from the chargeable gains of the post-commencement period, and

(c) the reference in step 3(c) of section 269ZF to the chargeable gains included in the company’s total profits is to be treated as if it were a reference to the total of—

(i) the chargeable gains accruing to the company in the pre-commencement period, after making any deductions under section 2A(1)(a) or (b) of TCGA 1992, and

(ii) the chargeable gains accruing to the company in the post-commencement period, after making any deductions under section 2A(1)(a) of that Act.
