Relief for Investment in New Corporate Trades

The relief
52
1
This Chapter has effect for affording relief from income tax where—
a
an individual who qualifies for the relief subscribes for ordinary shares in a new qualifying company ; and
b
the shares are issued to him for the purpose of raising money for a new qualifying trade which is being carried on by the company or which it intends to carry on within the next twelve months.
2
The relief in respect of the amount subscribed by an individual for any shares shall be given as a deduction of that amount from his total income for the year of assessment in which the shares are issued, and references in this Chapter to the amount of the relief are references to the amount of that deduction.
3
The relief shall be given on a claim and shall not be allowed—
a
unless and until the company has carried on the new trade for twelve months ; and
b
if the company is not carrying on that trade at the time when the shares are issued, unless the company begins to carry it on within twelve months after that time or within such further period (not exceeding twelve months) as the Board may allow.
4
A claim for the relief may be allowed at any time after the end of the year of assessment in which the shares are issued (or, where the period mentioned in subsection (3) (a) above ends later, after the end of that period) if the conditions for the relief are then satisfied but subject, in the case of a claim allowed before the end of the relevant period, to the withdrawal of the relief if by reason of any subsequent event it appears that the claimant was not entitled to the relief allowed.
5
In this Chapter " the relevant period ", in relation to relief in respect of any shares issued by a company, means the period beginning with the incorporation of the company (or, if the company was incorporated more than two years before the date on which the shares were issued, beginning two years before that date) and ending—
a
five years ; or
b
as respects sections 55, 56 and 65 below, three years,
after the issue of the shares.
6
Where by reason of its being wound up, or dissolved without winding up, the company carries on the new trade for a period shorter than twelve months, subsection (3)(a) above shall have effect as if it referred to that shorter period but only if it is shown that the winding up or dissolution was for bona fide commercial reasons and not as part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which was the avoidance of tax.
7
The relief shall be treated for the purposes of section 34(3) of the Finance Act 1971 (effect of deductions) as a deduction to be made under Chapter II of Part I of the Taxes Act after all other deductions under that Chapter and shall be disregarded for the purposes of section 204(3) of the Taxes Act (pay as you earn) and of calculating relief under section 400(2) of the Taxes Act, paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 to that Act, paragraph 7 of Schedule 8 to that Act in a case where an election has effect under section 31(7) above or paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 9 to this Act (top-slicing).
8
Where a claim is made in respect of shares issued in any year of assessment and the period mentioned in subsection (3)(a) above ends in a later year, then, if effect is given to the claim by a repayment of tax, section 47 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 1975 (repayment supplement) shall have effect in relation to the repayment as if the time from which the twelve months mentioned in subsections (1)(a) and (4)(a) of that section are to be calculated were the end of that later year.
9
This section applies only where the shares are issued in the year 1981-82 or either of the next two years of assessment.

2
The relief shall not be given to the extent to which the amount or total amount subscribed by an individual for ordinary shares issued to him in any year of assessment (whether or not by the same company) exceeds £10,000.
3
The relief shall not be given in respect of shares issued by any company in any year of assessment (whether to one or more individuals) to the extent that the relief would result in more than 50 per cent, of the company's issued ordinary share capital at the end of that year (or, if earlier, at the dissolution of the company) consisting of shares in respect of which relief has been given.
4
If subsection (3) above requires a restriction to be placed on the relief given on claims in respect of shares issued to two or more individuals, the available relief shall be divided between them in proportion to the amounts which have been respectively subscribed by them for the shares to which their claims relate and which would, apart from the restriction, be eligible for the relief.
5
A claimant who is dissatisfied with the manner in which the available relief is divided under subsection (4) above between him and any other claimant or claimants may apply to the appropriate Commissioners who shall, after giving the other claimant or claimants an opportunity to appear and be heard or to make representations in writing, determine the question for all the claimants in the same way as an appeal.

after the end of the year of assessment in which they were issued; and

If—
a
relief under section 79 of the Finance Act 1980 is given in respect of a disposal made after 5th April 1981 (" the relevant disposal "), and
b
at a time when he has not disposed of the asset in question, the transferee becomes neither resident nor ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom,
then, subject to the following provisions of this section, a chargeable gain shall be deemed to have accrued to the transferee immediately before that time, and its amount shall be equal to the held-over gain (within the meaning of the said section 79) on the relevant disposal.
2
For the purposes of subsection (1) above the transferee shall be taken to have disposed of an asset before the time there referred to only if he has made a disposal or disposals in connection with which the whole of the held-over gain on the relevant disposal was represented by reductions made in accordance with subsection (1)(b) of the said section 79 ; and where he has made a disposal in connection with which part of that gain was so represented, the amount of the chargeable gain deemed by virtue of this section to accrue to him shall be correspondingly reduced.
3
The disposals by the transferee that are to be taken into account under subsection (2) above shall not include any disposal to which section 44 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (disposals between spouses) applies; but where any such disposal is made by the transferee, disposals by his spouse shall be taken into account under subsection (2) above as if they had been made by him.

b
he again becomes resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom within the period of three years from the time when he ceases to be so, without having meanwhile disposed of the asset in question;
and accordingly no assessment shall be made by virtue of subsection (1) above before the end of the said period of three years in any case where the condition in paragraph (a) above is, and the condition of paragraph (b) above may be, satisfied.
6
For the purposes of subsection (5) above a person shall be taken to have disposed of an asset if he has made a disposal in connection with which the whole or part of the held-over gain on the relevant disposal would, had he been resident in the United Kingdom, have been represented by a reduction made in accordance with section 79(1)(b) of the Finance Act 1980; and subsection (3) above shall have effect for the purposes of this subsection as it has effect for the purposes of subsection (2) above.
7
Where an amount of tax assessed on a transferee by virtue of subsection (1) above is not paid within the period of twelve months beginning with the date when the tax becomes payable then, subject to subsection (8) below, the transferor may be assessed and charged (in the name of the transferee) to all or any part of that tax.
8
No assessment shall be made under subsection (7) above more than six years after the end of the year of assessment in which the relevant disposal was made.
9
Where the transferor pays an amount of tax in pursuance of subsection (7) above, he shall be entitled to recover a corresponding sum from the transferee.
10
Gains on disposals made after a chargeable gain has under this section been deemed to accrue by reference to a held-over gain shall be computed without any reduction under section 79(1 MM of the Finance Act 1980 in respect of that held-over gain.

2
Subject to subsections (3) and (4) below, a net profit shall be treated as having accrued to a participator from an oil field in a chargeable period when the total assessable profits (without any reduction under section 7 or 8 of the principal Act) that have accrued to him from the field in chargeable periods up to and including that period exceed the total allowable losses that have so accrued to him.
3
In determining for the purposes of subsection (2) above whether any, and if so what, assessable profit or allowable loss has accrued to a participator from an oil field in a chargeable period—
a
there shall be excluded from its computation any expenditure allowed under Schedule 7 and any loss allowed under Schedule 8 to the principal Act (abortive exploration expenditure and unrelievable field losses);
b
any election under paragraph 9(1) of Schedule 3 to that Act (spreading of allowable expenditure) shall be disregarded ; and
c
in the case of the last chargeable period taken into account in deciding what is the net profit period there shall be included in that computation any amount which, by reason of an adjustment under section 4(9) of that Act (1ong-term assets) for a claim period ending not later than that period, will fall to be taken into account under paragraph 6 of Schedule 4 to that Act for the next chargeable period.
4
A net profit shall not by virtue of subsection (2) above be treated as having accrued to a participator from an oil field in a chargeable period if—
a
after an assessment or determination has been made in respect of that period under paragraph 10 of Schedule 2 to the principal Act any expenditure incurred before the end of that period is allowed on a claim under Schedule 5 or Schedule 6 to that Act; and
b
a net profit would not have accrued to the participator from the field in that period if that expenditure (or, as respects expenditure allowed under Schedule 5, his share of it) had been taken into account in the assessment or determination together with any amount falling to be taken into account under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c) (ii) of the principal Act by reference to (or, as the case may be, to his share of) that expenditure.
5
The expenditure referred to in subsection (4) above does not include expenditure allowed for any claim period beginning after the chargeable period in respect of which the assessment or determination was made.
6
In the following provisions, that is to say—
a
paragraphs 2(4)(a) and 3(1)(b) of Schedule 5 to the principal Act (claims for and determination of expenditure qualifying for supplement), including those paragraphs as applied by Schedule 6 to that Act; and
b
paragraph 2(4)(b) of the Schedule to the Petroleum Revenue Tax Act 1980 (computation of payment on account),
references to expenditure qualifying for supplement shall include references to expenditure that would so qualify apart from this section; but the responsible person need not make a claim under paragraph 2 (4) (a) of the said Schedule 5 if it appears to him that none of the expenditure is likely to qualify because of this section.
7
This section applies whether the net profit period ends before or after the passing of this Act but subsection (1) above shall not disqualify any expenditure which was incurred before 1st January 1981 or which is incurred before 1st January 1983 in pursuance of a contract entered into before 1st January 1981.

2

a
his own net profit period as determined in accordance with section 111 above and subsections (3) and (4) below; or
b
subject to subsection (5) below, the chargeable period which is the net profit period of the old participator or, if there are two or more old participators, of whichever of them has the earliest net profit period.
3
Where the old participator has transferred the whole of his interest in the field to the new participator, the net profit period of the new participator shall be determined by treating as if they were his the total assessable profits and allowable losses of the old participator as determined for the purposes of section 111 above.
4
Where the old participator has transferred part of his interest in the field to the new participator, the net profit period of the old and new participators shall be determined by treating as if they were the new participator's and not the old participator's such part of the total assessable profits and allowable losses of the old participator (as determined for the purposes of section 111 above) as may be just and reasonable.
5
The net profit period of an old participator shall not be taken into account under subsection (21(b) above if the new participator's own net profit period, as determined without reference under subsection (3) or (4) above to the old participator's assessable profits or allowable losses, fell before the chargeable period in which the new participator acquired the whole or part of the old participator's interest.

Restriction of expenditure supplement: loss following net profit period
113
1

2
In determining for the purposes of the duty the gross profit accruing to the participator from the field in the chargeable period the aggregate of the amounts mentioned in section 2(5)(a), (b) and (c) of the principal Act shall be increased by multiplying it by a fraction of which—
a
the numerator is the total of the quantity of oil won from the field which is delivered or relevantly appropriated by him in the period including the oil delivered to the Secretary of State ; and

5
If a participator in an oil field so elects by notice in writing given to the Board at the time when he makes his return under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the principal Act for a chargeable period, the cash equivalent of his share of the exempt allowance for the field for that period shall be determined under subsection (4) above—
a
to the extent that his share of that exempt allowance does not exceed his share of the oil (other than gas) won and saved from the field in the period, as if in computing the gross profit accruing to him in the period all amounts relating to gas fell to be disregarded ; and
b
to the extent, if any, that his share of that allowance exceeds his share of the oil (other than gas) so won and saved, as if in computing the gross profit so accruing all amounts relating to oil other than gas fell to be disregarded.
6
In this section references to a participator's share of the oil won and saved from a field are to his share as expressed in metric tonnes and for that purpose 1,100 cubic metres of oil consisting of gas at a temperature of 15 degrees centigrade and pressure of one atmosphere shall be counted as equivalent to one metric tonne of oil other than gas.

5
Where, because of a deduction made under subsection (1) above in computing for corporation tax the amount of a company's income of any kind, the amount of advance corporation tax which can be set against the company's liability to corporation tax for an accounting period is less than the amount of advance corporation tax which could have been set against that liability if the deduction had not been made, then, if a claim in that behalf is made by the company not later than two years after the end of that accounting period, an amount of advance corporation tax equal to the difference shall be repaid to the company.

3
1
Where a person carries on a trade in respect of which he is within the charge to income tax under Case I of Schedule D he shall, subject to the provisions of this Schedule, be entitled to relief under this paragraph in respect of a period of account if—
a
there is an increase in the all stocks index over that period ; and
b
the value of his trading stock at the end of the preceding period of account exceeded £2,000.
2
The relief shall be calculated by reference to the amount by which the value of the trading stock referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above exceeded £2,000 and, subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, shall be equal to such percentage of that amount at corresponds to the percentage increase in the all stocks index over the period referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) above.
3

4
A person may, in making a claim for relief under this paragraph in respect of any period of account, specify an amount of relief less than that available under sub-paragraph (2) above and, if he does so, the relief to which he is entitled under this paragraph in respect of that period shall be the amount specified in the claim.

Recovery of relief on cessation of trade etc.
4
1
Where during or at the end of a period of account a person carrying on a trade ceases to do so, or ceases to be within the charge to income tax under Case I of Schedule D in respect of the trade, then, subject to paragraph 20 below—

he shall not be entitled to relief in respect of that period; and

3
Where a charge for a period of account falls to be made under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above in consequence of a person ceasing to be within the charge to income tax in respect of a trade, or would fall to be so made apart from this sub-paragraph—
a
the unrecovered past relief allowed to him for that trade shall be treated as reduced by any relief to which he was entitled for that trade in respect of a previous period of account but to which effect cannot be given because of his ceasing to be within the charge to income tax in respect of the trade; and
b
the charge shall be reduced accordingly or, if the amount of the relief is equal to or exceeds the unrecovered past relief, shall not be made.
4
Where during or at the end of a period of account a person carrying on a trade ceases (by virtue of ceasing to be resident in the United Kingdom) to be within the charge to income tax under Case I of Schedule D in respect of a part of the trade, he shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as if that part were a separate trade carried on by him in that period; and all necessary apportionments between the two parts of the trade (including the apportionment of unrecovered past relief allowed for that trade) shall be made by reference to the respective values of the trading stock of each part immediately after that event.

Method of giving effect to relief or charge
5
1
Relief under paragraph 3 above in respect of any period of account shall be given as a deduction in charging the profits or gains of the trade to income tax for the relevant year of assessment.
2
Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, any deduction for capital allowances shall be made before the deduction of the relief.
3
Where the deductions for the relevant year of assessment include deductions for relief, capital allowances or losses carried forward from an earlier year under paragraph 9 below, section 70(4) of the Capital Allowances Act 1968 or section 171 of the Taxes Act, the deductions shall be made in the following order—
a
capital allowances other than those carried forward under the said section 70(4) from an earlier year ;
b
relief under paragraph 3 above in respect of the period of account in relation to which the year is the relevant year of assessment;
c
capital allowances carried forward as aforesaid from years of assessment not earlier than the year for which the basis period ended on or included 14th November 1980 ;
d
relief under paragraph 3 above carried forward under paragraph 9 below, taking relief in respect of a later period of account before relief in respect of an earlier one ;
e
capital allowances carried forward as aforesaid from years of assessment earlier than those referred to in paragraph (c) above;
f
relief under Schedule 5 to the Finance Act 1976 ;
g
losses carried forward to the year under the said section 171.
4
Where the same year is the relevant year of assessment in relation both to—
a
a period of account in respect of which relief falls to be allowed under this Part of this Schedule ; and
b
a period of account in respect of which relief fell to be allowed under Schedule 5 to the Finance Act 1976,
the relief given effect in that year shall be attributed to the latter before the former.
5
A charge under paragraph 4 above in respect of any period of account shall be made by means of an assessment to income tax on the profits or gains of the trade—
a
in the case of a charge by reason of a person ceasing to carry on the trade or ceasing to be within the charge to income tax in respect of the trade, for the year of assessment in which the cessation occurs; and
b
in the case of a charge in the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) of that paragraph, for the relevant year of assessment.
Any such assessment shall be in addition to any other assessment falling to be made on the profits or gains of the trade for the year of assessment in question.

Top-slicing
6
1
Where a trade has been carried on by a person for more than one year before the discontinuance or other event on which a charge under paragraph 4 above falls to be made on him, then his liability to tax for the year of assessment for which the charge is made shall, on a claim made by him within two years after the end of that year of assessment, be reduced in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph.
2
The reduction is the amount of the difference between—
a
the tax on the whole amount on which the charge is made (the "chargeable amount"), calculated on the basis set out in sub-paragraph (4) below ; and
b
the tax (if any) on the appropriate fraction of the chargeable amount, calculated on the same basis, and multiplied by the reciprocal of the appropriate fraction.
3
The " appropriate fraction " depends on the period for which the trade has been carried on before the discontinuance or other event and is—
a
one-half if the trade has been so carried on for more than one but less than two years ;
b
one-third if it has been so carried on for two years or more.
4
The amounts of tax referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above are to be calculated on the following assumptions—
a
that the person's total income does not include any amount in respect of which he is chargeable to tax under section 80, 81 or 82 of the Taxes Act (premiums, etc. treated as rent), section 187 of that Act (payments on retirement or removal from office) or section 399(1 )(a) of that Act (gains from life policies etc.);
b
that deductions to be made in computing the tax are so far as possible set against sums other than the chargeable amount (or the fraction of it);
c
that the chargeable amount (or fraction), after any deductions remaining to be made after applying paragraph (b) above, is the highest part of the person's total income (notwithstanding any other provisions of the Income Tax Acts directing any other income to be so treated).
5
Where a claim under this paragraph for any year of assessment is made in respect of more than one trade, this paragraph applies to each chargeable amount individually as if there were only one charge in that year.
6
For the purposes of section 400 of, and paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 3 to, the Taxes Act (other top-slicing provisions) a person's total income shall not be treated as including any amount as a result of a charge under paragraph 4.

Meaning of " relevant year of assessment" and " basis period "
7
1
This paragraph provides for ascertaining the relevant year of assessment in relation to a period of account for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.
2
In this Part of this Schedule—
a
the " basis period " for any year of assessment means the the period on the profits or gains of which income tax for that year falls to be finally computed under Case I of Schedule D in respect of the trade in question, or, where, by virtue of any provision of section 115 of the Taxes Act, the profits or gains of any other period are to be taken as the profits or gains of the said period, that other period; and
b
references to a period of account entering into a basis period are to the period of account, or any part of it, falling within or coinciding with that basis period.
3
Where a period of account enters into the basis period for only one year of assessment, that year is the relevant year of assessment in relation to that period of account.
4
Where a period of account enters into the basis period for more than one year of assessment, then—
a
if it does so by virtue of section 116 or 117 of the Taxes Act (commencement of trade), the relevant year of assessment in relation to that period of account is the first year of assessment into whose basis period the period of account enters; and
b
in any other case, the relevant year of assessment is the last such year of assessment.
5
Where a period of account does not enter into the basis period for any year of assessment, the relevant year of assessment in relation to that period of account is that following the year of assessment in which the period of account ends.

Right to set unused relief against general income
8
1
Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, a claim made under section 168 of the Taxes Act (set-off of losses against general income) for relief in respect of a loss sustained by the claimant in a trade in any year of assessment (the " year of loss ") may require the amount of that loss to be determined as if an amount equal to the relief to which he is entitled under this Part of this Schedule for the year of assessment for which the year of loss is the basis year were to be deducted in computing the profits or gains or losses of the trade in the year of loss.
2
Where there are capital allowances that can be the subject of a claim under the said section 168 by virtue of section 169 of the Taxes Act, no claim shall be made under section 168 by reference to relief under this Part of this Schedule unless a claim is also made by reference to those capital allowances; but a claim may be made under section 168 for relief in respect of a loss sustained by the claimant in any trade in any year of assessment notwithstanding that the claimant would not have sustained a loss in that year unless relief under this Part of this Schedule is brought into account.
3
Relief for any year of assessment shall be taken into account by virtue of this paragraph only if and so far as it is not required to offset any charge for that year under paragraph 4 above; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph the relief for a year of assessment shall be treated as required to offset the charge for a year up to the amount on which the charge falls to be made after deducting from it the amount (if any) of relief for earlier years which is carried forward to that year and would, if not set against the charge, be unused in that year.
4
Where the relief taken into account by virtue of this paragraph is that for the year of assessment for which the claim is made or for the preceding year (the year of loss being the basis year for that year itself, or the claim being made by way of carry forward of the loss by virtue of section 168(2) of the Taxes Act), effect shall not be given to that relief in respect of an amount greater than the amount unused in the year for which the claim is made, or, in the case of relief for the preceding year, the amount unused in both years.
5
For the purposes of this paragraph—
a
where the end of the basis period for a year of assessment falls in, or coincides with the end of, any year of assessment, that year is the basis year for the first-mentioned year of assessment, but so that, if a year of assessment would under the foregoing provision be the basis year both for that year itself and for another year of assessment, it shall be the basis year for the year itself and not for the other year;
b
any reference to the relief or charge for a year of assessment shall be construed as a reference to the relief or charge falling to be given effect in that year (excluding, in the case of relief, any part of the relief for an earlier year carried forward under paragraph 9 below);
c
any reference to an amount of relief unused in a year shall be construed as referring to the amount by which, by reason of an insufficiency of profits or gains, effect cannot be given to the relief in that year.
6
Where, on a claim made by virtue of this paragraph, relief is not given under section 168 of the Taxes Act for the full amount of the loss determined as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above, the relief under that section shall be attributed—
a
to the loss sustained by the claimant in the trade rather than to the capital allowances in respect of the trade brought into account by virtue of section 169 of the Taxes Act; and
b
to those capital allowances rather than to relief under this Part of this Schedule.
7
Where a claim is made under the said section 168 by a person who, since the end of the year for which the claim is made, has carried on the trade in question in partnership, then effect shall be given to this paragraph in relation to that claim only with the consent in writing of every other person engaged in carrying on the trade between the end of that year and the making of the claim, except that where the claim is for a loss sustained before an event treated as the permanent discontinuance of the trade, the consent is not required of a person so engaged only since the discontinuance.
8
If a person whose consent is required under sub-paragraph (7) has died, the consent in writing of his personal representatives is required instead.

Carry forward of unused relief
9
1
Where, in any year of assessment, full effect cannot be given to any relief falling to be allowed under this Part of this Schedule owing to there being no profits or gains of the trade chargeable for that year, or owing to the profits or gains chargeable being less than the amount of the relief, the relief or part of the relief to which effect has not been given, as the case may be, shall be carried forward and given effect in accordance with paragraph 5 above in the following year and, subject to paragraph 10 below, so on for succeeding years.
2
There may be carried forward under this paragraph to a year of assessment any relief under Schedule 5 to the Finance Act 1976 to the extent to which effect has not been given to it in a previous year.
3
This paragraph has effect subject to paragraph 8 above.

Restriction on carry forward of unused relief
10
Relief falling to be allowed under this Part of this Schedule in respect of a period of account shall not by virtue of paragraph 9 above be carried forward to a year of assessment if that period ended six years or more before the beginning of the period of account in relation to which that year is the relevant year of assessment.

Social security contributions
11
In computing for the purposes of Schedule 2 to the Social Security Act 1975 the amount of the profits or gains of a trade in respect of which Class 4 contributions are payable—
a
deductions or additions shall be made under paragraph 2 of that Schedule for any relief or charge under this Part of this Schedule which falls to be made in charging profits or gains to income tax under Case I of Schedule D ; and
b
paragraphs 8 and 9 above shall be included among the relief provisions to which paragraph 3(1) of that Schedule applies.

a
there is an increase in the all stocks index over that period; and
b
the value of its trading stock at the end of the preceding period of account exceeded £2,000.
2
The relief shall be calculated by reference to the amount by which the value of the trading stock referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above exceeded £2,000 and, subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, shall be equal to such percentage of that amount as corresponds to the percentage increase in the all stocks index over the period referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) above.
3
A company shall not be entitled to relief under this paragraph unless a claim for the relief is made within two years after the end of the period of account in respect of which the relief is claimed.
4
A company may, in making a claim for relief under this paragraph in respect of any period of account, specify an amount of relief less than that available under sub-paragraph (2) above and, if it does so, the relief to which it is entitled under this paragraph in respect of that period shall be the amount specified in the claim.

4
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b) above
a

any relief or charge under this Schedule in respect of that period of account shall be apportioned between the predecessors and successors according to the respective lengths of the parts of the period falling before and after the change, and for the purpose of giving effect to that relief or charge each of those parts shall be treated as if it were a separate period of account.

Adjustment for special circumstances

1
An adjustment shall be made under this paragraph where any arrangements have been effected by a person carrying on a trade, or by him and other persons acting together, such in particular as those mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) below, and it appears that the sole or main benefit which, but for this paragraph, might have been expected to accrue to that person was—
a
the obtaining of relief or the reduction of the amount of a charge under this Schedule; or
b
a reduction in the amount of relief to which effect cannot be given by virtue of paragraph 10 or 17(1) above.
2
The arrangements referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above are—
a
any acquisition or disposal of trading stock otherwise than in the normal course of the trade in question ; or

3
In a case within sub-paragraph (1)(a) above the adjustment is to substitute for the purposes of this Schedule, for the value of the trading stock of the person concerned at the end of any period of account which appears to have been affected by the arrangements, the value which it appears that the trading stock would then have had if those arrangements had not been made.
4
In a case within sub-paragraph (1)(b) above the adjustment is to determine the amount of relief to which effect cannot be given by virtue of paragraph 10 or 17(1) above as if the arrangements had not been made.

Long periods of account
23
1
Where a person's period of account is longer than eighteen months his entitlement to relief under this Schedule in respect of that period shall be determined by—

2
The value to be attributed under sub-paragraph (1) above is such value as is reasonable and just having regard to all the relevant circumstances of the case, and in particular—
a
to the values of trading stock of the trade at the beginning and end of the period of account which includes the date in question;
b
to movements during that period of account in the costs of items of a kind comprised in the person's trading stock during the period; and
c
to changes during that period in the volume of the trade carried on by that person.

4
Sub-paragraph (1) above shall apply also where by virtue of the provisions of section 35(2) of this Act it is necessary to ascertain the value of a person's trading stock at 13th November 1980 ; and for that purpose the period of account referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above shall be the period treated by virtue of those provisions as if it were two separate periods.

25
1
Animals treated as trading stock under Schedule 6 to the Taxes Act (farm animals etc.), shall, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, be so treated for the purposes of this Schedule.

3
Where a person makes an election for the herd basis under that Schedule, then, at the end of the period of account preceding that in which the election takes effect (" the point of election ") the unrecovered past relief allowed to him for the farming or other trade in question (including the relief in respect of that period of account) shall be apportioned between the herd and the rest of his trading stock by reference to their respective values at the point of election.
4
Where a company which has made an election for the herd basis under the said Schedule 6 transfers part of its trade, the part of its unrecovered past relief which represents relief apportioned to the herd under sub-paragraph (3) above or paragraph 25(3) of Schedule 5 to the Finance Act 1976—
a
shall not be apportioned in accordance with paragraph 20(5) above; but
b
if all the animals or none of them are included in the transfer, shall be allocated to the part of the trade that is transferred or, as the case may be, the part that is retained and, if some of them are included, shall be apportioned between those parts by reference to the respective values of the animals transferred and the animals retained.
5
In this paragraph " herd " has the same meaning as in Schedule 6 to the Taxes Act, and this paragraph applies (as does that Schedule), with the necessary adaptations, to animals or other creatures kept singly as it applies in relation to herds.

Preliminary
1
1
In this Schedule " transfer of value " includes a distribution payment and a capital distribution, and references to the value transferred by a transfer of value and to a transferor shall be construed as including respectively the amount of such a payment or distribution and the trustees of the settlement concerned.
2
In this Schedule " agricultural property " means agricultural land or pasture and includes woodland and any building used in connection with the intensive rearing of livestock or fish if the woodland or building is occupied with agricultural land or pasture and the occupation is ancillary to that of the agricultural land or pasture ; and also includes such cottages, farm buildings and farm-houses, together with the land occupied with them, as are of a character appropriate to the property.
3
For the purposes of this Schedule the agricultural value of any agricultural property shall be taken to be the value which would be the value of the property if the property were subject to a perpetual covenant prohibiting its use otherwise than as agricultural property.
4
This Schedule applies to agricultural property only if it is in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Nature of relief
2
1
Where the whole or part of the value transferred by a transfer of value is attributable to the agricultural value of agricultural property, the whole or that part of the value transferred shall be treated as reduced by the appropriate percentage, but subject to the following provisions of this Schedule.
2
The appropriate percentage is 50 per cent, if either—
a
the interest of the transferor in the property immediately before the transfer carries the right to vacant possession or the right to obtain it within the next twelve months, or
b
the transferor has been beneficially entitled to that interest since before 10th March 1981 and the conditions set out in sub-paragraph (3) below are satisfied ;
and, subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, it is 20 per cent, in any other case.
3
The conditions referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(b) above are—
a
that, if the transferor had disposed of his interest by a transfer of value immediately before 10th March 1981 and duly made a claim under paragraph 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance Act 1975, the value transferred would have been computed in accordance with paragraph 2 of that Schedule and relief would not have been limited by paragraph 5 of that Schedule (restriction to £250,000 or one thousand acres): and
b
that the transferor's interest did not at any time during the period beginning with 10th March 1981 and ending with the date of the transfer carry a right mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) above, and did not fail to do so by reason of any act or deliberate omission of the transferor during that period.
4
Where the appropriate percentage would be 50 per cent, but for a limitation on relief that would have been imposed (as mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(a) above) by paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 to the Finance Act 1975, the appropriate percentage shall be 50 per cent, in relation to a part of the value transferred equal to the amount which would have attracted relief under that Schedule and 20 per cent, in relation to the remainder.
5
In determining for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (3)(a) and (4) above whether or to what extent relief under Schedule 8 to the Finance Act 1975 would have been limited by paragraph 5 of that Schedule, that paragraph shall be construed as if references to relief given under that Schedule in respect of previous chargeable transfers included references to relief given under this Schedule by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(b) or (4) above in respect of previous chargeable transfers made on or after 10th March 1981.
6
For the purposes of this Schedule the interest of one of two or more joint tenants or tenants in common (or, in Scotland, joint owners or owners in common) shall be taken to carry a right referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(a) above if the interests of all of them together carry that right.

2
Where the agricultural property owned by the transferor on the date of the transfer replaced other agricultural property the condition stated in paragraph 3(b) above shall be treated as satisfied if it, the other property and any agricultural property directly or indirectly replaced by the other property were, for periods which together comprised at least seven years falling within the ten years ending with that date, both owned by the transferor and occupied (by him or another) for the purposes of agriculture.
3
Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above relief under this Schedule shall not exceed what it would have been had the replacement or any one or more of the replacements not been made.

b
their value is taken by virtue of paragraph 9A of Schedule 10 to the Finance Act 1975 to be less than the value previously determined.
10

the determination of the appeal by the Special Commissioners,

5
If, on the appeal against an assessment or an amendment of an assessment, it appears to the majority of the Commissioners present at the hearing that the assessment or amendment is wrong—
a
because no, or a smaller, gross profit has accrued for the chargeable period in question; or
b
because a, or a larger, gross profit has accrued for that period,
the Commissioners shall vary the assessment or amendment in such manner, or substitute such determination, as may be required; and it shall be for the participator to satisfy the Commissioners as to any matters within paragraph (a) above.

5
The relevant returns for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above are all the returns of all the participators in all oil fields which—
a
were made for the chargeable period preceding that to which the appeal relates ; and
b
were delivered before the end of the chargeable period t© which the appeal relates.

shall, to the extent to which it exceeds the sum required to be paid as aforesaid, be repaid to him.
4
If in any month in a chargeable period a participator in an oil field—

has not delivered (otherwise than to the Secretary of State) any of the oil which has been won from the field and disposed of by him at any time in or before that month ; and
b
has not relevantly appropriated any of the oil which has been so won by him at any such time,
he shall be entitled to withhold the advance payment of duty (if any) in respect of the field for that period which next falls to be made by him after the end of that month.

SCHEDULE 17

Special Tax on Banking Deposits
Section 134.
PART I

The Base Period and Chargeable Deposits

The base period
1
1
The base period for the purposes of section 134 of this Act (" the principal section ") is the last quarter of 1980 ; and the average chargeable deposits held by a person in that period shall be determined by—
a
aggregating the chargeable deposits held by him at the close of business on 15th October, 19th November and 10th December 1980; and
b
dividing the result by three.
2
Where a person regularly prepares statistics of the deposits held by him as at the close of business on a particular day in each month and the day in October, November or December 1980 is not that mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) above, the Board may, on the application of that person, direct that for any of those days there shall be substituted the day in the month in question for which that person has prepared the statistics.
3
Any time at which the amount of the chargeable deposits held by a person falls to be ascertained by virtue of this paragraph is in this Schedule referred to as a material time.

Chargeable deposits
2
For the purposes of the principal section and this Schedule a deposit is any sum of money paid to a person carrying on a banking business (" a deposit-taker ") on terms—
a
under which it will be repaid either on demand or at a time or in circumstances agreed by or on behalf of the person who paid the sum and the deposit-taker ; and
b
which are not, within the meaning of subsection (6) of section 1 of the Banking Act 1979, referable to the provision of property or services or to the giving of security.
3
1
Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, a deposit is a chargeable deposit at a material time if it is then held on terms under which it does not carry interest or a premium.
2
The following are not chargeable deposits—
a
any deposit not denominated in sterling ;
b
any deposit paid to the deposit-taker by a company if at the material time the deposit-taker is a subsidiary of that company, or that company is a subsidiary of the deposit-taker, or both are subsidiaries of another company ;
c
where the deposit-taker is resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of income or corporation tax, any deposit which at the material time is held at a branch of his situated outside the United Kingdom ;
d
where the deposit-taker is not so resident, any deposit which at that time is held otherwise than at a branch of his situated in the United Kingdom.
3
In sub-paragraph (1) above the reference to interest or a premium shall not be construed as including any allowance made by the deposit-taker in calculating whether any, and if so what, bank or other charges are to be made by him to the person making the deposit.
4
In sub-paragraph (2)(b) above " subsidiary " shall be construed in accordance with section 154 of the Companies Act 1948 or section 148 of the Companies Act (Northern Ireland) 1960.
5
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(c) and (d) above a deposit is held at a branch of a deposit-taker if it is recorded in his books as a liability of that branch.
4
1
Where any amount of the chargeable deposits held by a deposit-taker at a material time consists of the credit balance or balances on one or more accounts which the deposit-taker treats as reducing or extinguishing the amount on which he is entitled to interest in respect of the debit balance or balances on one or more other accounts held with him at that time, that amount of chargeable deposits shall be treated as equal to its excess, if any, over that other amount.
2
This paragraph applies only if the other account or accounts are denominated in sterling.
5
1
The amount of chargeable deposits held by a deposit-taker at any material time shall be treated as—
a
reduced by an amount equal to 60 per cent, of any sum which has been credited in his books to an account held with him (whether or not an account the balance on which constitutes a chargeable deposit) by reference to a cheque or other authority which is then in course of collection by him ; and
b
increased by an amount equal to 60 per cent, of any sum which has been debited in his books to such an account by reference to a standing order or other authority which is then in course of transmission by him.
2
In this paragraph " sum" means a sum denominated in sterling.
6
Where a person was carrying on a banking business at any time in the last quarter of 1980 but was not carrying on such a business on 10th March 1981, then, if his business was, after the first of the material times and before that date, transferred to another person who was carrying on such a business on that date, the principal section and this Schedule shall have effect as if any chargeable deposits held by the first-mentioned person at any material time had then been held by the other person.
