SCHEDULE 18CHARITIES RELIEF

Withdrawal of charities relief

I14

1

This paragraph applies where—

a

a land transaction is relieved from tax under paragraph 3 (““the relieved transaction””),

b

a disqualifying event occurs in relation to a charity (““C””) which was the buyer under the relieved transaction, and

c

the disqualifying event occurs in the circumstances required by sub-paragraphs (3) and (4).

2

Where this paragraph applies, relief under paragraph 3, or an appropriate proportion of it, is withdrawn and tax is chargeable (see sub-paragraph (5)).

3

The disqualifying event must occur—

a

before the end of the period of 3 years beginning with the effective date of the relieved transaction, or

b

in pursuance of, or in connection with, arrangements made before the end of that period.

4

At the time of the disqualifying event C must hold a chargeable interest that—

a

was acquired by C under the relieved transaction, or

b

that is derived from an interest so acquired.

5

The amount chargeable is the amount of tax that would have been chargeable but for paragraph 3 or, as the case may be, an appropriate proportion of that amount.

6

An “"appropriate proportion”” means an appropriate proportion having regard to—

a

what was acquired by C under the relieved transaction and what is held by C at the time of the disqualifying event, and

b

the extent to which what is held by C at that time is or becomes used or held for purposes other than qualifying charitable purposes.
