(b) by a transfer or delivery giving effect to it.

(2) An election must be made, by a notice given to an officer of the Board, on or before the first anniversary of the 31st January next following the year of assessment in which the individual first makes a disposal of any of the relevant shares.

(3) Where—

(a) an election is made in respect of the relevant shares, and

(b) any shares (“the other shares”) acquired by the individual on the same day and in the same capacity as the relevant shares cease to be treated under section 104(4) as shares of a different class from the relevant shares,

the election shall have effect in respect of the other shares from the time they cease to be so treated.

(4) In determining for the purposes of section 105A(2) and subsection (2) above whether the individual has made a disposal of any of the relevant shares, sections 122(1) and 128(3) shall be disregarded.
