(ii)in pursuance of, or in connection with, arrangements made before the end of that period,
(c)apart from this paragraph, group relief in relation to the relevant transaction would not be withdrawn under paragraph 3, and
(d)any previous transaction falls within sub-paragraph (2),
paragraphs 3 and 4 have effect in relation to the relevant transaction as if the vendor in relation to the earliest previous transaction falling within sub-paragraph (2) were the vendor in relation to the relevant transaction.
(2)A previous transaction falls within this sub-paragraph if—
(a)the previous transaction is exempt from charge by virtue of paragraph 1, 7 or 8,
(b)the effective date of the previous transaction is less than three years before the date of the event falling within sub-paragraph (1)(a),
(c)the chargeable interest acquired under the relevant transaction by the purchaser in relation to that transaction is the same as, comprises, forms part of, or is derived from, the chargeable interest acquired under the previous transaction by the purchaser in relation to the previous transaction, and
(d)since the previous transaction, the chargeable interest acquired under that transaction has not been acquired by any person under a transaction that is not exempt from charge by virtue of paragraph 1, 7 or 8.
(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a) there is a change in the control of a company if—
(a)any person who controls the company (alone or with others) ceases to do so,
(b)a person obtains control of the company (alone or with others), or
(c)the company is wound up.
References to “control” in this sub-paragraph shall be construed in accordance with section 416 of the Taxes Act 1988.
(4)If two or more transactions effected at the same time are the earliest previous transactions falling within sub-paragraph (2), the reference in sub-paragraph (1) to the vendor in relation to the earliest previous transaction is a reference to the persons who are the vendors in relation to the earliest previous transactions.
