Subsection (2) below applies where an individual—

the approved-scheme shares to which subsection (6B) of that section applies to be treated as disposed of after the remainder of the relevant shares to which that subsection applies.
5
Where section 127 applies in relation to any of the relevant shares (“the reorganisation shares”), that section shall apply separately to such of those shares as are approved-scheme shares and to the remainder of the reorganisation shares (so that those approved-scheme shares and the remainder of the reorganisation shares are treated as comprised in separate holdings of original shares and identified with separate new holdings).

shall be treated as acquired by the individual on the day on which they were issued.

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.

Where section 65 (postponement of change to mark to market in certain cases) applies in relation to a period of account, the company may elect that it shall continue to apply in relation to subsequent periods of account as regards assets held by it on 1st January 2002.
Any such election must be made within twelve months after the end of the accounting period of the company current on that date.

assets are realised by the company in an accounting period beginning on or after 1st January 2002,
b
the assets are of such a kind that the particular assets realised are not readily identifiable,
c
the realisation does not exhaust the company’s holding, and
d
some but not all of the company’s holding was acquired after 1st January 2002,
assets realised shall be identified with assets acquired on the same basis as that used by the company for accounting purposes, unless the basis used by the company is “last in, first out” in which case assets realised shall be identified with assets acquired on or before 1st January 2002 in priority to assets acquired after that day.
4
Where a company has made an election under this section and—
a
an asset in relation to which the election has effect is transferred to another company (“the transferee company”) in pursuance of an insurance business transfer scheme, and
b
immediately after the transfer either—
i
the transferee company is resident in the United Kingdom, or
ii
the asset is held for the purposes of a business carried on by the transferee company in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency,
this section applies as if the transferee company had made an election under this section in relation to that asset.

Withdrawal of group relief
111
1
This section applies where—
a
an instrument (“the relevant instrument”) transferring land in the United Kingdom from one company (“the transferor company”) to another (“the transferee company”) has been stamped on the basis that group relief applies,
b
before the end of the period of three years beginning with the date on which the instrument was executed the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company, and
c
at the time when the transferee company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company it or a relevant associated company holds an estate or interest in land—
i
that was transferred to the transferee company by the relevant instrument, or
ii
that is derived from an estate or interest that was so transferred,
and that has not subsequently been transferred at market value by a duly stamped instrument on which
ad valorem
duty was paid and in respect of which group relief was not claimed
.
2
In those circumstances—
a
group relief in relation to the relevant instrument, or an appropriate proportion of it, is withdrawn, and
b
the stamp duty that would have been payable on stamping the relevant instrument but for group relief if the estate or interest in land transferred by that instrument had been transferred at market value, or an appropriate proportion of the duty that would have been so paid, is payable by the transferee company within 30 days after that company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company.
3
In subsection (2)(a) and (b) “an appropriate proportion” means an appropriate proportion having regard to what was transferred to the transferee company by the relevant instrument and what is held by that company or, as the case may be, that company and any relevant associated companies, at the time it or they cease to be members of the same group as the transferor company.
4
In this section “group relief” means relief under any of the following provisions—
a
section 42 of the Finance Act 1930 (c. 28) or section 11 of the Finance Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 (c. 23 (N.I.)) (transfer of property between associated bodies corporate);
b
section 151 of the Finance Act 1995 (c. 4) (leases etc between associated bodies corporate).
4A
In this section “
relevant associated company
”, in relation to the transferee company, means a company that—
a
is a member of the same group as the transferee company immediately before that company ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company, and
b
ceases to be a member of the same group as the transferor company in consequence of the transferee company so ceasing.
5
In this section—
a
references to the transfer of land include the grant or surrender of an estate or interest in or over land;
b
“company” includes any body corporate; and
c
references to a company being in the same group as another company are to the companies being associated bodies corporate within the meaning of the relevant group relief provision.
6
Schedule 34 to this Act contains provisions supplementing this section.
7
Where the relevant instrument transfers land in the United Kingdom together with other property, the provisions of this section and of Schedule 34 apply as if there were two separate instruments, one relating to land in the United Kingdom and the other relating to other property.
8
This section applies where the relevant instrument is executed after 23rd April 2002.
9
But this section does not apply to an instrument giving effect to a contract made on or before 17th April 2002, unless—
a
the instrument is made in consequence of the exercise after that date of any option, right of pre-emption or similar right, or
b
the instrument transfers the property in question to, or vests it in, a person other than the purchaser under the contract because of an assignment (or, in Scotland, assignation) or further contract made after that date.

b
within such longer period as the Commissioners may think reasonable in the circumstances of the case,

1
In Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2000 (c. 17)
(climate change levy), after paragraph 20 insert—

Exemption: electricity produced in combined heat and power stations
20A
1
A supply of electricity is exempt from the levy chargeable under paragraph 5(1) if—
a
the supply is not one that is deemed to be made under paragraph 23(3),
b
the supply is made under a contract that contains a CHP declaration given by the supplier,
c
prescribed conditions are fulfilled, and
d
the supplier, and each other person (if any) who is a generator of any CHP electricity allocated by the supplier to supplies under the contract, has in a written notice given to the Commissioners agreed that he will fulfil those conditions so far as they may apply to him.
2
Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in relation to a supply to a person of electricity produced in a wholly or partly exempt combined heat and power station where the supply is made to that person from the station.
3
In this paragraph “CHP declaration” means a declaration that, in each averaging period, the amount of electricity supplied by exempt CHP supplies made by the supplier in the period will not exceed the difference between—
a
the total amount of CHP electricity that during that period is either acquired or generated by the supplier, and
b
so much of that total amount as is allocated by the supplier otherwise than to exempt CHP supplies made by him in the period.
In this sub-paragraph “averaging period” has the same meaning as in paragraph 20B; and “exempt CHP supplies” means supplies made on the basis that they are exempt under this paragraph.
4
For the purposes of this paragraph and paragraph 20B, electricity is “CHP electricity” if—
a
the electricity was—
i
produced in a fully exempt combined heat and power station, or
ii
produced in a partly exempt combined heat and power station and originally supplied from the station without causing the limit referred to in paragraph 16(2) to be exceeded,
b
the electricity is not renewable source electricity (within the meaning of paragraph 19), and
c
prescribed conditions are fulfilled.
5
The conditions that may be prescribed under sub-paragraph (1)(c) include, in particular, conditions in connection with—
a
the giving of effect to CHP declarations;
b
the supply of information;
c
the inspection of records and, for that purpose, the production of records in legible form and entry into premises;
d
monitoring by the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority, or the Director General of Electricity Supply for Northern Ireland, of the application of provisions of, or made under, this paragraph;
e
the doing of things to or by a person authorised by the Authority or the Director General (as well as the doing of things to or by the Authority or the Director General);
f
things being done at times or in ways specified by the Authority, the Director General or such an authorised person.
6
A condition prescribed under sub-paragraph (1)(c) may be one that is required to be fulfilled throughout a period, including a period ending after the time when a supply whose exemption turns on the fulfilment of the condition is treated as being made.
7
The conditions that may be prescribed under sub-paragraph (4)(c) include in particular conditions in connection with any of the matters mentioned in paragraphs (b) to (f) of sub-paragraph (5).
8
Each of—
a
the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority, and
b
the Director General of Electricity Supply for Northern Ireland,
shall supply the Commissioners with such information (whether or not obtained under this paragraph), and otherwise give the Commissioners such co-operation, as the Commissioners may require in connection with the application of this paragraph (whether generally or in relation to any particular case).
9
Paragraph 19(10)
(disclosure of information) applies in relation to sub-paragraph (8) above as it applies in relation to paragraph 19(8).

Exemption under paragraph 20A: averaging periods
20B
1
This paragraph applies where a person (“the supplier”) makes supplies of electricity on the basis that they are exempt under paragraph 20A (“exempt CHP supplies”).
2
The rules about balancing and averaging periods are—
a
a balancing period is a period of three months;
b
when a balancing period ends, a new one begins;
c
the first balancing period and the first averaging period begin at the same time;
d
unless the supplier specifies an earlier time, that time is the time when he is treated as making the first of the exempt CHP supplies;
e
when an averaging period ends, a new one begins;
f
an averaging period ends once it has run for two years (but may end sooner under paragraph (g) or sub-paragraph (4)(a) or (5)(a));
g
if the supplier stops making exempt CHP supplies, the end of the balancing period in which he makes the last exempt CHP supply is also the end of the averaging period in which the balancing period falls.
3
At the end of each balancing period calculate—
a
the total of—
i
the quantity of CHP electricity that the supplier acquired or generated in that period, and
ii
any balancing credit carried forward to that balancing period; and
b
the total of—
i
the quantity of electricity supplied by exempt CHP supplies made by him in that period, and
ii
any balancing debit carried forward to that balancing period.
4
If the total mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(a) exceeds that mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b)—
a
the averaging period within which the balancing period fell ends at the end of the balancing period, and
b
a balancing credit equal to the difference between the two totals is carried forward to the next balancing period.
5
If the totals mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of sub-paragraph (3) are the same—
a
the averaging period within which the balancing period fell ends at the end of the balancing period, and
b
no balancing credit or debit is carried forward to the next balancing period.
6
Sub-paragraphs (7) and (8) apply if the total mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(b) exceeds that mentioned in sub-paragraph (3)(a).
7
Where the end of the balancing period is by virtue of sub-paragraph (2)(g) the end of an averaging period, the supplier is liable to account to the Commissioners for an amount equal to the amount that would be payable by way of levy on a taxable supply that—
a
is made at the end of the balancing period, and
b
is a supply of a quantity of electricity equal to the difference between the two totals.
For the purposes of this Schedule, the amount for which the supplier is liable to account shall be treated as an amount of levy for which he is liable to account for an accounting period ending at the end of the balancing period.
8
Where sub-paragraph (7) does not apply, a balancing debit equal to the difference between the two totals is carried forward to the next balancing period.
.
2
Subsection (1) has effect in relation to supplies of electricity made on or after such day as the Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument appoint.

Climate change levy: certification requirement

a
electricity is not to be regarded as having been produced as specified in sub-paragraph (1)(a) unless it has been certified under that provision;
b
electricity is not to be regarded as having been produced and supplied as specified in sub-paragraph (1)(b) unless it has been certified under that provision.
3
Regulations under this paragraph may in particular provide that the supply of any electricity does not qualify for the exemption under paragraph 16(2) unless the electricity is certified as specified in sub-paragraph (1)(b).
4
Regulations under this paragraph may also make provision for determining whether electricity is produced and supplied as specified in sub-paragraph (1)(b).
