Finance (No. 2) Act 1931

16Provisions as to income tax in certain cases

Where a holding in the Loan which is continued under this Part of this Act beyond the redemption date is in the beneficial ownership of a person who is carrying on a trade which consists wholly or partly in dealing in securities, that person shall, if he gives notice in writing to the surveyor not later than the end of the year of assessment next following the year of assessment in which the redemption date falls, that he desires to be so treated, be treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as having changed his investment on the redemption date, but if he gives no such notice he shall, except with respect to the tax on the interest on the holding, be for those purposes treated, both then and thereafter, as not having changed his investment, and in that case the produce of any subsequent realization of the whole or any part of the continued holding (which holding shall, for the purpose of this provision be deemed to include any bonus stock or bonus bonds issued in respect of the continuance of the holding) together with any additional consideration, or the appropriate part of any additional consideration, received by him in connection with the continuance, shall be treated as the produce of the realization of the whole or the appropriate part of the original holding.
