SCHEDULE 7Schedule D, Case VII: Miscellaneous Rules
Additional provisions as to computation of gains
20
(1)
Where a single bargain comprises two or more transactions whereby assets are disposed of, those transactions shall be treated for the purposes of section 164 of this Act as a single disposal; and where separate considerations are agreed, or purport to be agreed, for any two or more transactions comprised in one bargain (whether transactions whereby assets are disposed of or not), those considerations shall be treated as together constituting an entire consideration for the transactions, and shall be apportion-able between them accordingly.
(2)
Where an individual and the wife or husband of that individual, or a body of persons and a person having control of it, or two bodies of persons under common control, enter into associated transactions, sub-paragraph (1) above shall apply as if the transactions were comprised in a single bargain (" body of persons " for this purpose including a partnership):
Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply so as to treat considerations given or received by different persons as an entire consideration unless they are given to or received from a single person or persons in relation to whom they can by virtue of this sub-paragraph be treated as an entire consideration.
(3)
In the case of an acquisition and disposal of land, no deduction shall be made in respect of maintenance expenditure incurred by any person—
(a)
in computing the gain accruing to that person from the acquisition and disposal for the purposes of paragraph 7(3) of this Schedule, or
(b)
in computing for any purpose of this Schedule the amount which would secure that neither a gain nor a loss accrued to that person on his disposal of the land ;
and maintenance expenditure incurred by the person chargeable which falls to be taken into account for other purposes of Case VII shall not be taken into account in computing his profits or gains for the purposes of Schedule A, but, where it has been taken into account in computing those profits or gains, any necessary adjustment of that person's liability to tax may be made by means of an assessment or otherwise, and, for that purpose, the amount of any tax repaid by reason of its having been taken into account may be charged on him under Case VI of Schedule D and recovered accordingly.
In this sub-paragraph, references to maintenance expenditure incurred by any person are references to any payments made by him which are deductible in computing his profits or gains for the purposes of Schedule A.
(4)
Paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 19 to the M1Finance Act 1969 (capital gains tax: compensation paid on compulsory acquisition) shall apply with respect to the apportionments to be made under section 164(4) of this Act as it applies to apportionments to be made for the purposes of Schedule 6 to the M2Finance Act 1965.
(5)
Where, in the case of any asset, the person chargeable receives or is entitled to claim any capital allowances with reference to expenditure relating to the asset, the amount of the allowances shall be treated for the purpose of computing the gain as a trading receipt of the adventure in so far as it exceeds the amount or aggregate amount on which any balancing charges fall to be made on him in respect of the allowances (subject, however, to a just apportionment where the adventure does not relate to the whole of his interest in the asset).
In this sub-paragraph "capital allowance" does not include an allowance under Part II of the M3Capital Allowance Act 1968, or an investment allowance.
