1

Chapter 9 of Part 4 does not apply to a pre-1982 assigned policy or contract unless on a date after 23rd August 1982 it has met condition A, B or C.

2

In sub-paragraph (1) “pre-1982 assigned policy or contract” means—

a

a policy of life insurance issued in respect of an insurance made before 26th June 1982, or

b

a contract for a life annuity made before that date,

the rights under which were assigned for money or money's worth before that date and are not held by the original beneficial owner.

3

Condition A is that the rights under the policy or contract are again assigned for money or money's worth.

4

Condition B is that a payment is made under the policy or contract by way of premium.

5

Condition C is that a sum is lent—

a

by, or by arrangement with, the body issuing the policy or the body with which the contract was made, and

b

to or at the direction of an individual falling within sub-paragraph (6).

6

An individual falls within this sub-paragraph at any time if—

a

were a gain to arise in respect of the policy or contract at that time the individual—

i

would be liable for tax in respect of it as a result of section 465 (person liable: individuals), or

ii

would be so liable apart from the requirement in section 465(1) that the individual must be UK resident in the tax year in which the gain arises, or

b

at that time the rights under the policy or contract are held on charitable trusts created by the individual.

7

In the case of a qualifying policy, condition C is not met if—

a

interest is payable on the loan at a commercial rate, or

b

the loan is to a full-time employee of the body to assist the employee in purchasing or improving a dwelling to be used as the employee's only or main residence.

8

In the case of a policy issued in respect of an insurance made before 27th March 1974 or a contract made before that date, this paragraph applies as if sub-paragraph (1) did not refer to condition C.

9

A loan which causes condition C to be met is treated for the purposes of sections 500(c) and 501 (loans treated as part surrenders) as having been made at a time when Chapter 9 of Part 4 does apply to gains on the policy or contract.
