185AIncome from taxable propertyU.K.

(1)An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as having made a scheme chargeable payment if the pension scheme holds an interest in taxable property in a tax year.

(2)The amount of the scheme chargeable payment depends on whether a person who holds the interest in the property directly receives profits arising from the interest in the tax year.

(3)If a person who holds the interest in the property directly receives such profits in the tax year, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is the greater of—

(a)an amount equal to the amount of the annual profits from the interest in the property (see section 185B(1)), and

(b)the amount of the deemed profits from the interest in the property for the year (see sections 185B(2) and 185C).

(4)If no person who holds the interest in the property directly receives such profits in the tax year, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is the amount of the deemed profits from the interest in the property for the year (see sections 185B(2) and 185C).

(5)But where section 185D applies, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is the amount found under subsection (3) or (4) as apportioned to the pension scheme in accordance with that section.

(6)Section 185E makes provision for credits against income tax charged under section 239 (scheme sanction charge) in respect of a scheme chargeable payment treated as made by virtue of this section.

185FGains from taxable propertyU.K.

(1)An investment-regulated pension scheme is to be treated as having made a scheme chargeable payment where—

(b)a gain is treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of the taxable interest in the tax year, and

(a)the total amount of gains treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of taxable interests in the tax year, and

(b)the total amount of losses treated as accruing to the pension scheme in respect of taxable interests in the tax year,

(but this is subject to section 185G(10)).

Modifications etc. (not altering text)

C16Ss. 185A-185I restricted by S.I. 2006/207, reg. 4B (as inserted (with effect in accordance with reg. 1(2) of the amending S.I.) by The Pensions Schemes (Application of UK Provisions to Relevant Non-UK Schemes)(Amendment) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1960), reg. 9)

185GDisposal by person holding directlyU.K.

(1)For the purposes of this section the person (“the transferor”) who holds the taxable interest directly is to be treated as holding an asset (a “taxable asset”) consisting of the interest.

(2)For the purpose of determining—

(a)whether the transferor disposes of the taxable asset,

(b)when such a disposal takes place, and

(c)whether a chargeable gain or allowable loss is treated for the purposes of section 185F as accruing to the transferor on a disposal of the taxable asset in a tax year and, if so, the amount of the chargeable gain or allowable loss,

TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying to the transferor and the taxable asset, but subject as follows.

(3)TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying as if—

(a)throughout the tax year the transferor were residentF2... and domiciled in the United Kingdom,

(b)no allowable losses accrued to the transferor in any previous tax year,

F3(c). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(g)section 171(1) (transfers within a group) of that Act did not apply to a disposal of the taxable asset (so that no election could be made in relation to such a disposal under section 171A (notional transfers within a group) of that Act), and

(h)sections 222 to 224 (relief on disposal of private residence) of that Act did not apply to a gain on a disposal of the taxable asset by virtue of section 225 (private residence occupied under terms of settlement) of that Act.

(4)Where the taxable asset became taxable property whilst held directly by the pension scheme, TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying to a disposal of the asset as if—

(a)the asset had been acquired by the transferor at the time it became taxable property, and

(b)the amount deductible under section 38(1)(a) (consideration for acquisition of asset) of that Act in respect of the disposal were the amount of the unauthorised payment treated as made by the pension scheme at that time.

(5)Subsections (6) to (8) apply where the pension scheme holds the taxable asset indirectly.

(6)TCGA 1992 is to be treated as applying to a disposal of the asset as if the amount deductible under section 38(1) of that Act in respect of the disposal were—

(a)the total amount of unauthorised payments treated as made by the pension scheme in respect of the taxable asset up to the time of the disposal, less

(b)the amount found under paragraph (a) to the extent that it has already been taken into account in calculating the gains or losses accruing to the pension scheme in respect of the taxable asset by virtue of this section or section 185H.

(7)The amount that would otherwise be the amount of the consideration for which the disposal is made (or treated as made) is to be scaled down by applying paragraphs 41 to 43 of Schedule 29A to it as if it were the total taxable amount in relation to an unauthorised payment treated as made—

(a)by the pension scheme,

(b)in connection with the acquisition of the interest in the property which constitutes the taxable asset, and

(c)at the time of the disposal.

(8)Subsection (6) is subject to section 42 of TCGA 1992 (part disposals); but in the application of that section in relation to the taxable asset the amount of the consideration for the disposal is to be taken to be that amount apart from subsection (7).

(9)Where the taxable asset was not taxable property for the whole period beginning with—

(a)the time when the pension scheme acquired the asset, or

(b)if later, the time when the asset first became taxable property,

and ending with the disposal, the amount that would otherwise be the amount of any chargeable gain or allowable loss treated as accruing on a disposal of the asset is to be reduced by reference to the proportion of the period for which the asset was not taxable property.

(10)Where—

(a)the taxable asset is a wasting asset consisting of tangible moveable property, and

(b)by virtue of section 185F, a loss is treated as accruing to the pension scheme from a disposal of the asset in a tax year,

the loss is only to be allowed as a deduction from any gains treated as accruing to the pension scheme by virtue of that section from other disposals in the year of taxable assets which are wasting assets consisting of tangible moveable property.
