(3)Condition B is that—

(b)with a view to setting up and commencing a trade or business,
and, in either case, for the purposes of that trade or business.
(6)For that purpose, the making and managing of investments, or the making or managing of investments, is not a trade or business except to the extent that—
(a)the person by whom it is done, and
(b)the person for whom it is done,
are independent persons dealing at arm's length.
(7)In this section—

(a)that associated operation, or
(b)that associated operation taken together with the transfer or any one or more other associated operations.
(9)The jurisdiction of the Special Commissioners on any appeal includes jurisdiction to review any decision taken by an officer of the Board in exercise of the officer's functions under this section.
(10)This section is subject to sections 741B and 741C (application of section 741 and this section etc).”.
