Commentary on Sections

Part 4: Savings and investment income

Chapter 9: Gains from contracts for life insurance etc.
Section 470: Interests in rights under a policy or contract for section 469

1888.This section provides the meaning of “material interest” for the purposes of section 469. It is based on section 547A of ICTA. The circumstances in which someone is regarded as having an interest in rights under a policy or contract for this purpose mirror the circumstances set out in sections 465 to 468 (and, as regards companies chargeable to corporation tax, in section 547 of ICTA) for attributing liability to tax on gains or otherwise taking gains into account for tax purposes.
