Textual Amendments

F1Sch. 7A inserted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 16 para. 15 of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2016 (c. 24), Sch. 16 para. 4

18(1)This paragraph applies to a transaction (“the relevant transaction”) if—U.K.

(a)COACS seeding relief has been allowed in respect of the transaction,

(b)the main subject-matter of the transaction consists of a chargeable interest in or over land which is or includes a dwelling, and

(c)a non-qualifying individual (see paragraph 19) is permitted to occupy the dwelling at any time on or after the effective date of the transaction.

The dwelling which a non-qualifying individual is permitted to occupy is referred to as “the disqualifying dwelling”.

(2)The relief, or an appropriate proportion of it, is withdrawn, and tax is chargeable in accordance with this paragraph.

This is subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4).

(3)Relief is withdrawn only if, at the time a non-qualifying individual is permitted to occupy the disqualifying dwelling, the co-ownership authorised contractual scheme holds a chargeable interest in or over that dwelling—

(a)that was acquired by the scheme under the relevant transaction, or

(b)that is derived from an interest so acquired.

(4)Where a non-qualifying individual is first permitted to occupy the disqualifying dwelling at a time after the end of the control period, relief is withdrawn only if, at that time, the scheme fails to meet the genuine diversity of ownership condition (see paragraph 15).

(5)The amount chargeable is the amount that would have been chargeable in respect of the relevant transaction but for COACS seeding relief or, as the case may be, an appropriate proportion of the tax that would have been so chargeable.

(6)In sub-paragraphs (2) and (5), an “appropriate proportion” means an appropriate proportion having regard to the extent to which the subject-matter of the relevant transaction was an interest in or over land other than the disqualifying dwelling.

19(1)In paragraph 18 “non-qualifying individual”, in relation to a land transaction and a co-ownership authorised contractual scheme, means any of the following—U.K.

(a)an individual who is a major participant in the scheme;

(b)an individual who is connected with a major participant in the scheme;

(c)an individual who is connected with the operator of the scheme (see section 102A) or the depositary of the scheme;

(d)a relevant settlor;

(e)the spouse or civil partner of an individual falling within paragraph (b), (c) or (d);

(f)a relative of an individual falling within paragraph (b), (c) or (d), or the spouse or civil partner of a relative of an individual falling within paragraph (b), (c) or (d);

(g)a relative of the spouse or civil partner of an individual falling within paragraph (b), (c) or (d);

(h)the spouse or civil partner of an individual falling within paragraph (g).

(2)An individual who participates in a scheme is a “major participant” in it if the individual—

(a)is entitled to a share of at least 50% either of all the profits or income arising from the scheme or of any profits or income arising from it that may be distributed to participants, or

(b)would in the event of the winding up of the scheme be entitled to 50% or more of the assets of the scheme that would then be available for distribution among the participants.

(3)The reference in sub-paragraph (2)(a) to profits or income arising from the scheme is to profits or income arising from the acquisition, holding, management or disposal of the property subject to the scheme.

(4)In this paragraph—

  • depositary”, in relation to a co-ownership authorised contractual scheme, means the person to whom the property subject to the scheme is entrusted for safekeeping;

  • relative” means brother, sister, ancestor or lineal descendant;

  • relevant settlor”, in relation to a land transaction, means an individual who is a settlor in relation to a relevant settlement (as defined in sub-paragraph (5));

  • settlement” has the same meaning as in Chapter 5 of Part 5 of ITTOIA 2005 (see section 620 of that Act).

(5)Where a person, in the capacity of trustee of a settlement, is connected with a person who is the purchaser under a land transaction, that settlement is a “relevant settlement” in relation to the transaction.

(6)In sub-paragraph (5) “trustee” is to be read in accordance with section 1123(3) of CTA 2010 (“connected” persons: supplementary).

(7)Section 1122 of CTA 2010 (connected persons) has effect for the purposes of this paragraph, but for those purposes, subsections (7) and (8) of that section (application of rules about connected persons to partnerships) are to be disregarded.]
