(a)a major interest in the dwelling is held on a bare trust for a beneficiary (“B”),

(b)there is a disposal of the whole or part of B’s interest in the dwelling,

(c)immediately before the effective date of the transaction—

(i)the major interest is, by virtue of paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 8, treated as if it were vested in B, or

(ii)B is, by virtue of paragraph 28, treated as holding the major interest in the dwelling, and

(d)immediately after the effective date of the transaction—

(i)the major interest is, by virtue of paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 8, treated as if it were vested in the buyer, or

(ii)the buyer is, by virtue of paragraph 28, treated as holding the major interest.

(3)This sub-paragraph applies in relation to a transaction where—

(a)a person (“B”) is a beneficiary under a settlement where a major interest in the dwelling forms part of the trust property,

(i)occupy the dwelling for life, or

(ii)income earned in respect of the dwelling,

(c)there is a disposal of the whole or part of B’s interest in the dwelling,

(d)immediately before the effective date of the transaction B is, by virtue of paragraph 28, treated as holding the major interest in the dwelling, and

(e)immediately after the effective date of the transaction the buyer is, by virtue of that paragraph, treated as holding the major interest.

(4)In determining whether sub-paragraph (2) or (3) applies to a transaction, ignore paragraphs 30 and 35(5).
