Paragraphs 87 and 88: Gains from contracts for life insurance etc: rights partially assigned
3576.FA 2001 introduced rules, inserted as section 546A of ICTA, to determine what assignments are regarded as taking place when certain assignments of part or a share of the rights under a policy or contract are assigned. Paragraph 87 ensures that any question of what is or is not an assignment of such a part or share, in relation to times before section 546A of ICTA applies, is determined without regard to section 505 (which rewrites section 546A of ICTA). This paragraph is based on section 83 of FA 2001.
3577.FA 2001 also amended Chapter 2 of Part 13 of ICTA so that an assignment of rights under the policy or contract before 6 April 2001 which is not for money or money’s worth is ignored. Paragraph 88 ensures that such assignments which occurred before that date continue to be valued as they were valued prior to the amendments of FA 2001 if the value of such an assignment is material to the operation of Chapter 9 of Part 4 of this Act. This paragraph is based on section 83 of FA 2001.
