13A Income charged at the dividend nil rate
(1) Subsection (2) applies if, ignoring this section, at least some of an individual's income would be charged to income tax at the dividend ordinary rate, the dividend upper rate or the dividend additional rate.
(2) Income tax is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend ordinary rate, dividend upper rate or dividend additional rate) on one or more amounts of the individual's income as follows—
Step 1 Identify the amount (“D”) of the individual's income which would, ignoring this section, be charged at the dividend ordinary rate.Rule 1A: If D is more than £500, the first £500 of D is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend ordinary rate), and is the only amount charged at the dividend nil rate.Rule 1B: If D is equal to £500, D is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend ordinary rate), and is the only amount charged at the dividend nil rate.Rule 1C: If D is less than £500 but more than nil, D is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend ordinary rate).
Step 2 If D is less than £500, identify the amount (“U”) of the individual's income which would, ignoring this section, be charged at the dividend upper rate.Rule 2A: If the total of D and U is more than £500—
(a) the first £M of U is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend upper rate), where £M is the difference between £500 and D, and
(b) the amounts charged under this Rule and Rule 1C are the only amounts charged at the dividend nil rate.
Rule 2B: If the total of D and U is equal to £500, U is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend upper rate), and the amounts charged under this Rule and Rule 1C are the only amounts charged at the dividend nil rate.Rule 2C: If the total of D and U is less than £500 but more than nil, U is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend upper rate).
Step 3 If the total of D and U is less than £500, identify the amount (“A”) of the individual's income which would, ignoring this section, be charged at the dividend additional rate.Rule 3A: If the total of D, U and A is more than £500, the first £X of A is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend additional rate), where £X is the difference between—
£500, and
the total of D and U,
and the amounts charged under this Rule, and Rules 1C and 2C, are the amounts charged at the dividend nil rate.Rule 3B: If the total of D, U and A is less than or equal to £500, A is charged at the dividend nil rate (rather than the dividend additional rate), and the amounts charged under this Rule, and Rules 1C and 2C, are the amounts charged at the dividend nil rate.

Chapter 3 Calculation of income tax liability

22 Overview of Chapter
(1) This Chapter deals with the calculation of a person's income tax liability for a tax year.
(2) But it does not deal with any income tax liability mentioned in section 32.
(3) This Chapter needs to be read with Chapter 1 of Part 14 (limits on liability to income tax of non-UK residents).

23 The calculation of income tax liability
To find the liability of a person (“the taxpayer”) to income tax for a tax year, take the following steps. Step 1
Identify the amounts of income on which the taxpayer is charged to income tax for the tax year.
The sum of those amounts is “total income”.
Each of those amounts is a “component” of total income.
Step 2
Deduct from the components the amount of any relief under a provision listed in relation to the taxpayer in section 24 to which the taxpayer is entitled for the tax year.
See sections 24A and 25 for further provision about the deduction of those reliefs.
See also section 24B which provides that a taxpayer’s net income is taken to be £0 in certain cases.
The sum of the amounts of the components left after this step is “net income”.
Step 3
Deduct from the amounts of the components left after Step 2 any allowances to which the taxpayer is entitled for the tax year under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of this Act or ... (individuals: personal allowance and blind person's allowance).
See section 25 for further provision about the deduction of those allowances.
Step 4
Calculate tax at each applicable rate on the amounts of the components left after Step 3.
See Chapter 2 of this Part for the rates at which income tax is charged and the income charged at particular rates.
If the taxpayer is a trustee, see also Chapters 3 to 5 and 10 of Part 9 (special rules about settlements and trustees) for further provision about the income charged at particular rates.
See also section 863I of ITTOIA 2005 which provides for certain partnership profits to be charged at the additional rate.
Step 5
Add together the amounts of tax calculated at Step 4.
Step 6
Deduct from the amount of tax calculated at Step 5 any tax reductions to which the taxpayer is entitled for the tax year under a provision listed in relation to the taxpayer in section 26.
See sections 27 to 29 for further provision about the deduction of those tax reductions.
Step 7
Add to the amount of tax left after Step 6 any amounts of tax for which the taxpayer is liable for the tax year under any provision listed in relation to the taxpayer in section 30.
The result is the taxpayer's liability to income tax for the tax year.

Step 1
Deduct the loss in calculating the person's net income for the specified tax year.
Step 2
This step applies only if the claim is made in relation to both tax years.
Deduct the part of the loss not deducted at Step 1 in calculating the person's net income for the other tax year.
Other claims
If the loss has not been deducted in full at Steps 1 and 2, the person may use the part not so deducted in giving effect to any other relief under this Chapter (depending on the terms of the relief).
Words in s. 65(1) substituted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 3 para. 3 of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2013 (c. 29), Sch. 3 para. 2(3)(a)

(b) makes a separate claim in respect of a loss made in the following tax year in relation to the same tax year as the first claim.
(3) The rule is that priority is given to making deductions under the first claim.
(4) For this purpose a “separate claim” means—
(a) a claim for trade loss relief against general income, or
(b) a claim for employment loss relief against general income under section 128.

Restriction on relief for uncommercial trades

(4) If the trade forms part of a larger undertaking, references to profits of the trade are to be read as references to profits of the undertaking as a whole.
(5) If there is a change in the tax year in the way in which the trade is carried on, the trade is treated as carried on throughout the tax year in the way in which it is carried on by the end of the tax year.

(3) This section does not prevent relief for the loss from being given if—
(a) the carrying on of the trade forms part of, and is ancillary to, a larger trading undertaking,
(b) the farming or market gardening activities meet the reasonable expectation of profit test (see section 68), or
(c) the trade was started, or treated as started, at any time within the 5 tax years before the current tax year (see section 69 below, as well as section 17 of ITTOIA 2005).

68 Reasonable expectation of profit
(1) This section explains how the farming or market gardening activities (“the activities”) meet the reasonable expectation of profit test for the purposes of section 67.
(2) The test is decided by reference to the expectations of a competent farmer or market gardener (a “competent person”) carrying on the activities.
(3) The test is met if—
(a) a competent person carrying on the activities in the current tax year would reasonably expect future profits (see subsection (4)), but
(b) a competent person carrying on the activities at the beginning of the prior period of loss (see subsection (5)) could not reasonably have expected the activities to become profitable until after the end of the current tax year.
(4) In determining whether a competent person carrying on the activities in the current tax year would reasonably expect future profits regard must be had to—
(a) the nature of the whole of the activities, and
(b) the way in which the whole of the activities were carried on in the current tax year.
(5) “The prior period of loss” means—
(a) the 5 tax years before the current tax year, or
(b) if losses in the trade, calculated without regard to capital allowances, were also made in successive tax years before those 5 tax years (see section 70), the period comprising both the successive tax years and the 5 tax years.

69 Whether trade is the same trade

(2) If there is a change in the persons carrying on a trade which involves all of the persons carrying it on before the change permanently ceasing to carry it on—
(a) the trade is treated as permanently ceasing to be carried on, and
(b) a new trade is treated as starting to be carried on,
at the date of the change (but see subsections (3) to (6)).
(3) A husband and wife are treated as the same person.
(4) Persons who are civil partners of each other are treated as the same person.
(5) A husband or wife is treated as the same person as—
(a) a company of which either one of them has control, or
(b) a company of which both have control.

Terminal trade loss relief

(a) permanently ceases to carry on a trade in a tax year (“the final tax year”), and
(b) makes a terminal loss in the trade (see section 90).
(2) The claim is for the total amount of terminal losses made in the trade by the person (“the relievable loss”) to be deducted in calculating the person's net income for the final tax year and the 3 previous tax years (see Step 2 of the calculation in section 23).
(3) But a deduction for that purpose is to be made only from profits of the trade.

90 Losses that are “terminal losses”
(1) Each of the following is a terminal loss made in the trade—
(a) the loss (if any) made in the trade in the period beginning with the start of the final tax year and ending with the cessation, and
(b) the loss (if any) made in the trade in the period consisting of so much of the previous tax year as falls in the 12 months prior to the cessation.
(2) The profit or loss of a period mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) (a “terminal loss period”) is determined by reference to the profits or losses of periods of account of the trade (calculated for income tax purposes).
(3) If no period of account coincides with a terminal loss period, any of the following steps may be taken if they are necessary in order to arrive at the profit or loss of the terminal loss period—
(a) apportioning the profit or loss of a period of account between the part of the period that falls in the terminal loss period and the part that does not, and
(b) adding the profit or loss of a period of account (or part of a period) to profits or losses of other periods of account (or parts).
(4) Section 7A(3) and (4) of ITTOIA 2005 applies for the purposes of subsection (3) as it applies for the purposes of section 7A(2) of that Act.

91 How relief works
This section explains how the deductions are to be made. The amount of the relievable loss to be deducted at any step is limited in accordance with section 25(4) and (5).
Step 1
Deduct the relievable loss from the profits of the trade of the final tax year.
Step 2
Deduct any part of the relievable loss not deducted at Step 1 from the profits of the trade of the previous tax year.
Step 3
Deduct any part of the relievable loss not deducted at Step 1 or 2 from the profits of the trade of the tax year before the previous one.
Step 4
Deduct any part of the relievable loss not deducted at Step 1, 2 or 3 from the profits of the trade of the tax year before that one.
Other claims
If the relievable loss has not been deducted in full at Steps 1 to 4, the person may use the part not so deducted in giving effect to any other relief under this Chapter (depending on the terms of the relief).

92 Use of trade-related interest and dividends if trade profits insufficient
(1) This section applies if terminal trade loss relief cannot be fully given in relation to the profits of a trade of a tax year because (apart from this section) there are no profits, or insufficient profits, of the trade of the tax year.
(2) For the purposes of the relief any interest or dividends for the tax year that relate to the trade are treated as profits of the trade of the tax year.
(3) Interest or dividends for the tax year relate to the trade if they—
(a) arise in the tax year, and
(b) would be brought into account in calculating the profits of the trade but for the fact that they have been subjected to tax under other provisions of the Income Tax Acts.

93 Mineral extraction trade and carry back of balancing allowances
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a person permanently ceases to carry on a mineral extraction trade, and
(b) the person makes a claim for terminal trade loss relief and a claim in respect of a balancing allowance under section 355 of CAA 2001.
(2) Terminal trade loss relief must be given before relief under section 355 of CAA 2001.
(3) In giving effect to the terminal trade loss relief, the balancing allowance is to be ignored.
(4) “Mineral extraction trade” has the same meaning as in Part 5 of CAA 2001 (see section 394 of that Act).

94 Carry back of certain interest as loss
(1) This section applies if—
(a) an individual pays interest in a tax year which is eligible for relief under section 383 (as a result of section 388 or 398),
(b) the interest is an expense incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of a trade carried on wholly or partly in the United Kingdom, and
(c) relief under section 383 cannot be fully given in respect of the interest because there is no income or insufficient income in the tax year.
(2) For the purposes of terminal trade loss relief, the amount for which relief has not been given may be treated as a loss made in the trade at the date of payment.
(3) This section applies to professions and vocations as it applies to trades.

95 Foreign trades etc: reliefs only against foreign income

(a) carries on a trade, profession or vocation wholly outside the United Kingdom, and

Deduct the part of the applicable amount of the loss not deducted at Step 1 in calculating the person's net income for the other tax year.
Other relief
If the applicable amount of the loss has not been deducted in full at Steps 1 and 2, relief is given under section 118 for the part not so deducted.

(a) a person makes a claim for property loss relief against general income (“the prior claim”) in respect of a loss made in a tax year,
(b) the prior claim specifies the next tax year as the one for which the deduction is to be made (“the relevant tax year”),
(c) the person makes another claim for property loss relief against general income in respect of a loss made in the relevant tax year, and
(d) that other claim also specifies the relevant tax year as the one for which the deduction is to be made.
(3) The rule is that priority is given to making deductions under the prior claim.

122 Meaning of “the applicable amount of the loss”
(1) This section defines “the applicable amount of the loss” for the purposes of sections 120 and 121.
(2) “The applicable amount of the loss” is—
(a) the amount of the loss, or
(b) if less, the amount arising from the relevant connection (see subsections (3) to (5)).
(3) If—
(a) the loss has a capital allowances connection, but
(b) the business does not have a relevant agricultural connection,
the amount arising from the relevant connection is the amount (“the net capital allowances”) by which the capital allowances exceed the charges under CAA 2001.
(4) If—
(a) the business has a relevant agricultural connection, but
(b) the loss does not have a capital allowances connection,
the amount arising from the relevant connection is the amount of the allowable agricultural expenses.
(5) If—
(a) the loss has a capital allowances connection, and
(b) the business has a relevant agricultural connection,
the amount arising from the relevant connection is the sum of the net capital allowances and the amount of the allowable agricultural expenses.

123 Meaning of “the loss has a capital allowances connection” and “the business has a relevant agricultural connection”
(1) This section applies for the purposes of sections 120 and 122.
(2) The loss has a capital allowances connection if, in calculating the loss—
(a) the amount of the capital allowances treated as expenses of the business, exceeds
(b) the amount of any charges under CAA 2001 treated as receipts of the business.
(2A) But any allowance under Part 2A of CAA 2001 (structures and buildings allowances) is to be ignored for the purposes of subsection (2).

(3) The business has a relevant agricultural connection if—
(a) the business is carried on in relation to land that consists of or includes an agricultural estate, and
(b) allowable agricultural expenses deducted in calculating the loss are attributable to the estate.
(4) “Agricultural estate” means land—
(a) which is managed as one estate, and
(b) which consists of or includes land occupied wholly or mainly for purposes of husbandry.
(5) “Allowable agricultural expenses”, in relation to an agricultural estate, means any expenses attributable to the estate which are deductible—
(a) in respect of maintenance, repairs, insurance or management of the estate, and
(b) otherwise than in respect of interest payable on a loan.
(6) But expenses attributable to the parts of the estate used wholly for purposes other than those of husbandry are to be ignored.
(7) And if parts of the estate are used both—
(a) for purposes of husbandry, and
(b) for other purposes,
the expenses in respect of those parts are to be reduced so far as those parts are used for the other purposes.

124 Supplementary
(1) A claim for property loss relief against general income must be made on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year specified in the claim.
(2) If a loss has previously been carried forward under section 118, the claim must be accompanied by the amendments of any return made under—
(a) section 8 of TMA 1970, or
(b) section 8A of TMA 1970,
that are necessary to give effect to section 118(5) (reducing the amount of the loss carried forward (if necessary, to nil)).

Post-cessation property relief

125 Post-cessation property relief
(1) A person may make a claim for post-cessation property relief if, after permanently ceasing to carry on a UK property business (whether carried on alone or in partnership)—
(a) the person makes a qualifying payment, or
(b) a qualifying event occurs in relation to a debt owed to the person,
and the payment is made, or the event occurs, within 7 years of that cessation.
(2) If the claim is made in respect of a payment, the claim is for the payment to be deducted in calculating the person's net income for the tax year in which the payment is made (see Step 2 of the calculation in section 23).
(3) If the claim is made in respect of an event, the claim is for the appropriate amount of the debt to be deducted in calculating the person's net income for the relevant tax year (see Step 2 of the calculation in section 23).
(4) The claim must be made on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year for which the deduction is to be made.
(5) If—
(a) the person is a company within the charge to income tax under Chapter 3 of Part 3 of ITTOIA 2005 in respect of a UK property business, and
(b) the company ceases at any time to be within that tax charge in respect of the business,
the company is treated for the purposes of this section as permanently ceasing to carry on the business at that time.
(6) The following provisions apply for the purposes of post-cessation property relief as they apply for the purposes of post-cessation trade relief (but as if any reference to a trade were to a UK property business)—
(a) section 97 (meaning of “qualifying payment”),
(b) section 98 (meaning of “qualifying event” etc),
(ba) section 98A (denial of relief for tax-generated payments or events),

(d) section 100 (prohibition against double counting).

126 Treating excess post-cessation property relief as CGT loss
A person who cannot deduct all of an amount under a claim for post-cessation property relief may be able to treat the unused part as an allowable loss for capital gains tax purposes: see sections 261D and 261E of TCGA 1992.

(a) by way of a bargain made at arm's length,
(b) by way of a distribution in the course of dissolving or winding up the company,
(c) a disposal within section 24(1) of TCGA 1992 (entire loss, destruction dissipation or extinction of asset), or
(d) a deemed disposal under section 24(2) of that Act (claim that value of the asset has become negligible).
(4) Subsection (1) does not apply to any allowable loss incurred on the disposal if—
(a) the shares are the subject of an exchange or arrangement of the kind mentioned in section 135 or 136 of TCGA 1992 (company reconstructions etc), and

132 Entitlement to claim

(b) makes a separate claim for share loss relief against income in respect of a loss made in the following tax year in relation to the same tax year as the first claim,
priority is to be given to making deductions under the first claim.
(4) Any share loss relief claimed in respect of any income has priority over any relief claimed in respect of that income under section 64 (deduction of losses from general income) or 72 (early trade losses relief).

Chapter 5 Attribution of and claims for EIS relief

Attribution

201 Attribution of EIS relief to shares
(1) References in this Part, in relation to any individual, to the EIS relief attributable to any shares or issue of shares are to be read as references to any reduction made in the individual's liability to income tax that is attributed to those shares or that issue in accordance with this section.
This is subject to the provisions of Chapters 6 and 7 providing for the withdrawal or reduction of EIS relief.
(2) If an individual's liability to income tax is reduced in any tax year, then—
(a) if the reduction is obtained because of one issue of shares, the amount of the reduction is attributed to that issue, and
(b) if the reduction is obtained because of two or more issues of shares, the amount of the reduction—
(i) is apportioned between those issues in the same proportions as the amounts claimed by the individual in respect of each issue, and
(ii) is attributed to those issues accordingly.
(3) If under this section an amount of any reduction of income tax is attributed to an issue of shares (“the original issue”) to an individual, a proportionate part of that amount is attributed to each share in respect of which the claim was made.
(4) If corresponding bonus shares are issued to the individual in respect of any shares (“the original shares”) to which EIS relief is attributed—
(a) a proportionate part of the total amount attributed to the original shares immediately before the bonus shares are issued is attributed to each of the shares in the holding comprising the original shares and the bonus shares, and
(b) after the issue of the bonus shares, this Part applies as if the original issue had included those shares.
(5) In subsection (4) “corresponding bonus shares” means bonus shares which are in the same company, of the same class, and carry the same rights as the original shares.
(6) If section 158(1) and (2) applies in the case of any issue of shares as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year, this section has effect as if that part and the remainder were separate issues of shares (and that part had been issued on a day in the previous tax year).
(7) If, at a time when EIS relief is attributable to, or to any part of, any issue of shares, the relief falls to be withdrawn or reduced under Chapters 6 and 7—
(a) if it falls to be withdrawn, the relief attributable to each of the shares in question is reduced to nil, and
(b) if it falls to be reduced by any amount, the relief attributable to each of the shares in question is reduced by a proportionate part of that amount.

Claims: general

202 Time for making claims for EIS relief
(1) A claim for EIS relief in respect of shares issued by a company in any tax year may be made—
(a) not earlier than the time the requirement in section 176(2) or (3) (trade etc must have been carried on for 4 months) is first met, and
(b) not later than the fifth anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year.
(2) If section 158(1) and (2) applies in the case of any issue of shares as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year, this section has effect as if that part and the remainder were separate issues of shares (and that part had been issued on a day in the previous tax year).

203 Entitlement to claim
(1) The investor is entitled to make a claim for EIS relief in respect of the amount subscribed by the investor for the relevant shares if the investor has received from the issuing company a compliance certificate in respect of those shares.
(2) For the purposes of PAYE regulations no regard is to be had to EIS relief unless a claim for it has been duly made.
(3) No application may be made under section 55(3) or (4) of TMA 1970 (application for postponement of payment of tax pending appeal) on the ground that the investor is eligible for EIS relief unless a claim for the relief has been duly made by the investor.

Claims: supporting documents

204 Compliance certificates
(1) A “compliance certificate” is a certificate which—
(a) is issued by the issuing company in respect of the relevant shares,
(b) states that, except so far as they fall to be met by or in relation to the investor, the requirements for EIS relief are for the time being met in relation to those shares, and
(c) is in such form as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may direct.
(2) Before issuing a compliance certificate in respect of the relevant shares, the issuing company must provide an officer of Revenue and Customs with a compliance statement in respect of the issue of shares which includes the relevant shares.
(3) The issuing company must not issue a compliance certificate without the authority of an officer of Revenue and Customs.
(4) If the issuing company, or a person connected with the issuing company, has given notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs under section 241 of this Act or paragraph 16(2) or (4) of Schedule 5B to TCGA 1992, a compliance certificate must not be issued unless the authority is given or renewed after the receipt of the notice.
(5) If an officer of Revenue and Customs—
(a) has been requested to give or renew an authority to issue a compliance certificate, and
(b) has decided whether or not to do so,
the officer must give notice of the officer's decision to the issuing company.

205 Compliance statements
(1) A “compliance statement” is a statement, in respect of an issue of shares, to the effect that, except so far as they fall to be met by or in relation to the individuals to whom shares included in that issue have been issued, the requirements for EIS relief (see section 157)—
(a) are for the time being met in relation to the shares to which the statement relates, and
(b) have been so met at all times since the shares were issued.
(2) In determining for the purposes of subsection (1) whether the requirements for EIS relief are met at any time in relation to the issue of shares, references in this Part to “the relevant shares” are read as references to the shares included in the issue.
(3) A compliance statement must be in such form as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs direct and must contain—
(a) such additional information as the Commissioners reasonably require, including in particular information relating to the persons who have requested the issue of compliance certificates,
(b) a declaration that the statement is correct to the best of the issuing company's knowledge and belief, and
(c) such other declarations as the Commissioners may reasonably require.
(4) The issuing company may not provide an officer of Revenue and Customs with a compliance statement in respect of any shares issued by it in any tax year—
(a) before the requirement in section 176(2) or (3) (trade etc must have been carried on for 4 months) is met, or
(b) later than two years after the end of that tax year or, if that requirement is first met after the end of that tax year, later than two years after the requirement is first met.

206 Appeal against refusal to authorise compliance certificate
For the purpose of the provisions of TMA 1970 relating to appeals, the refusal of an officer of Revenue and Customs to authorise the issue of a compliance certificate is taken to be a decision disallowing a claim by the issuing company.

207 Penalties for fraudulent certificate or statement etc
The issuing company is liable to a penalty not exceeding £3,000 if—
(a) it issues a compliance certificate, or provides a compliance statement, which is made fraudulently or negligently, or
(b) it issues a compliance certificate in contravention of section 204(3) or (4).

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(d) the issuing company is to be treated as having released or waived a liability if the liability is not discharged within 12 months of the time when it ought to have been discharged.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (2)(e) the following is to be treated as if it were a loan made by the issuing company to the investor—
(a) the amount of any debt (other than an ordinary trade debt) incurred by the investor to the issuing company, and
(b) the amount of any debt due from the investor to a third party which has been assigned to the issuing company.
(5) The investor also receives value from the issuing company if—
(a) in respect of ordinary shares held by the investor any payment or asset is received in a winding up or in connection with a dissolution of the company, and
(b) the winding up or dissolution falls within section 182(4) (no tax avoidance).
(6) The investor also receives value from the issuing company if any person who would, for the purposes of section 163, be treated as connected with the company—
(a) purchases any of its share capital or securities which belong to the investor, or
(b) makes any payment to the investor for giving up any right in relation to any of the company's share capital or securities.
(7) If because of the investor's disposal of shares in a company any EIS relief attributable to those shares is withdrawn or reduced under section 209, the investor is not to be treated as receiving value from the company in respect of the disposal.
(8) The investor is not to be treated as receiving value from the issuing company merely because of the payment to the investor, or any associate of the investor, of any remuneration for services rendered to that company as a director if the remuneration is reasonable remuneration.
(9) Section 167(3) (director also an employee) applies for the purposes of subsection (8) as it applies for the purposes of section 167, and the reference in that subsection to the payment of remuneration includes the provision of any benefit or facility.
(10) In this section “ordinary trade debt” means any debt for goods or services supplied in the ordinary course of a trade or business if any credit given—
(a) is for not more than 6 months, and
(b) is not longer than that normally given to customers of the person carrying on the trade or business.

Provision	The amount of value received
Section 216(2)(a), (b) or (c)	The amount received by the investor or, if greater, the market value of the shares, securities or debt
Section 216(2)(d)	The amount of the liability
Section 216(2)(e)	The amount of the loan or advance, less the amount of any repayment made before the issue of the relevant shares
Section 216(2)(f)	The cost to the issuing company of providing the benefit or facility, less any consideration given for it by the investor

Section 216(5)	The amount of the payment or the market value of the asset
Section 216(6)	The amount received by the investor or, if greater, the market value of the shares or securities

218 Value received where there is more than one issue of shares
(1) This section applies if—
(a) two or more issues of shares in the issuing company have been made to the investor which include shares in respect of which the investor obtains EIS relief, and
(b) value is received by the investor at any time in the applicable periods for two or more of those issues.
(2) Section 213(2) has effect in relation to the shares included in each of the issues referred to in subsection (1)(b) as if the amount of value referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
AB
where—
A is the amount on which the investor obtains EIS relief in respect of the shares included in the issue in question, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts in respect of the other issue or issues.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (1) “the applicable period” for an issue of shares is period C in relation to those shares.

219 Value received where part of share issue treated as made in previous tax year
(1) This section applies if—
(a) section 213(2) applies to an issue of shares, and
(b) section 158(1) and (2) (form and amount of EIS relief) applies in the case of that issue as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year.
(2) This subsection explains how the calculation under section 213(2) is to be made.
Step 1
Apportion the amount referred to as “R” between the tax year in which the shares were issued and the previous tax year by multiplying that amount by the fraction—
AB
where—
A is the amount on which the investor obtains EIS relief in respect of the shares treated as issued in the tax year in question, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount in respect of the shares treated as issued in the other tax year.
Step 2
In relation to each of the amounts (“R1” and “R2”) so apportioned to the two tax years, calculate the amounts (“X1” and “X2”) that would be given by the formula if there were separate issues of shares in those tax years.
In calculating amounts X1 and X2, apply section 220 if appropriate but do not apply section 218.
Step 3
Add amounts X1 and X2 together.
The result is the required amount.

220 Cases where maximum EIS relief not obtained
(1) If the investor's liability to income tax is reduced for any tax year in respect of any issue of shares and—
(a) the amount of the reduction (“A”), is less than
(b) the amount (“B”) which is equal to income tax at the EIS original rate on the amount on which the investor claims EIS relief in respect of the shares,
Words in s. 220(1)(b) substituted (13.10.2011) (with effect in accordance with s. 42(7)(8) of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2011 (c. 11), s. 42(3)(d)(6); S.I. 2011/2459, art. 2
section 213(2) has effect in relation to any value received as if the amount referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
AB
(2) If the amount of EIS relief attributable to any of the relevant shares has been reduced before the EIS relief was obtained, the amount referred to in subsection (1) as “A” is to be treated for the purposes of that subsection as the amount that it would have been without that reduction.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to a reduction of EIS relief by virtue of section 201(4) (attribution of EIS relief where there is a corresponding issue of bonus shares).

221 Receipts of value by and from connected persons etc
In sections 213, 214 and 216 to 218—
(a) any reference to a payment or transfer to the investor includes a reference to a payment or transfer made to the investor indirectly or to the investor's order or for the investor's benefit,
(b) any reference to the investor includes a reference to an associate of the investor, and
(c) any reference to the issuing company includes a reference to a person who at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares is connected with that company (whether or not that person is so connected at the material time).

222 Receipt of replacement value
(1) If—
(a) any EIS relief attributable to the relevant shares would, in the absence of this section, be reduced or withdrawn under section 213 because of a receipt of value within section 216(2) or (6) (“the original value”),
(b) the original supplier receives value (“the replacement value”) from the original recipient and the receipt is a qualifying receipt, and
(c) the amount of the replacement value is at least the amount of the original value,
section 213 does not, because of the receipt of the original value, have effect to reduce or withdraw the EIS relief.
This is subject to section 223(1) and (2).
(2) For the purposes of this section—
“the original recipient” means the person who receives the original value,
“the original supplier” means the person from whom that value was received.
(3) If the amount of the original value is, by virtue of section 218, treated as reduced for the purposes of section 213(2) as it applies in relation to the relevant shares in question, the reference in subsection (1)(c) to the amount of the original value is to be read as a reference to the amount of that value ignoring the reduction.
(4) A receipt of the replacement value is a qualifying receipt for the purposes of subsection (1) if it arises—
(a) because of the original recipient doing one or more of the following—
(i) making a payment to the original supplier, other than a payment within paragraph (c) or a payment to which subsection (5) applies,
(ii) acquiring any asset from the original supplier for a consideration the amount or value of which is more than the market value of the asset,
(iii) disposing of any asset to the original supplier for no consideration or for a consideration the amount or value of which is less than the market value of the asset,
(b) if the receipt of the original value was within section 216(2)(d), because of an event the effect of which is to reverse the event which constituted the receipt of the original value, or
(c) if the receipt of the original value was within section 216(6), because of the original recipient repurchasing the share capital or securities in question, or (as the case may be) re-acquiring the right in question, for a consideration the amount or value of which is at least the amount of the original value.
(5) This subsection applies to—
(a) any payment for any goods, services or facilities, provided (whether in the course of trade or otherwise) by—
(i) the original supplier, or
(ii) any other person who, at any time in period C relating to the relevant shares, is an associate of, or is connected with, that supplier (whether or not the other person is such an associate, or is so connected, at the material time),
which is reasonable in relation to the market value of those goods, services or facilities,
(b) any payment of any interest which represents no more than a reasonable commercial return on any money lent to—
(i) the original recipient, or
(ii) any person who, at any time in period C relating to the relevant shares, is an associate of that recipient (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time),
(c) any payment for the acquisition of an asset which does not exceed its market value,
(d) any payment, as rent for any property occupied by—
(i) the original recipient, or
(ii) any person who, at any time in period C relating to the relevant shares, is an associate of that recipient (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time),
of an amount not exceeding a reasonable and commercial rent for the property,
(e) any payment in discharge of an ordinary trade debt, and
(f) any payment for shares in or securities of any company in circumstances that do not fall within subsection (4)(a)(ii).
(6) For the purposes of this section, the amount of the replacement value is—
(a) in a case within paragraph (a) of subsection (4), the sum of—
(i) the amount of any payment within sub-paragraph (i) of that paragraph, and
(ii) the difference between the market value of any asset to which sub-paragraph (ii) or (iii) of that paragraph applies and the amount or value of the consideration (if any) received for it,
(b) in a case within subsection (4)(b), the same as the amount of the original value, and
(c) in a case within subsection (4)(c), the amount or value of the consideration received by the original supplier.
Section 217 applies for the purpose of determining the amount of the original value.
(7) In this section—
(a) any reference to a payment to a person (however expressed) includes a reference to a payment made to the person indirectly or to the person's order or for the person's benefit, and
(b) “ordinary trade debt” has the meaning given by section 216(10).

223 Section 222: supplementary
(1) The receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier is ignored for the purposes of section 222(1) to the extent to which it has previously been set (under that section) against a receipt of value to prevent any reduction or withdrawal of EIS relief under section 213.
(2) The receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier (“the event”) is ignored for the purposes of section 222 if—
(a) the event occurs before period C relating to the relevant shares,
(b) if the event occurs after the time the original recipient receives the original value, it does not occur as soon after that time as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, or
(c) if an appeal has been brought by the investor against an assessment to withdraw or reduce any EIS relief attributable to the relevant shares because of the receipt of the original value, the event occurs more than 60 days after the day on which the amount of relief which falls to be withdrawn has been finally determined.
But nothing in section 222 or this section requires the replacement value to be received after the original value.
(3) This subsection applies if—
(a) the receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier is a qualifying receipt for the purposes of section 222(1), and
(b) in consequence of the receipt any receipts of value are ignored for the purposes of section 213 as that section applies in relation to the shares in question or any other shares subscribed for by the investor, and
(c) the event which gives rise to the receipt is (or includes) a subscription for shares by—
(i) the investor, or
(ii) any person who at any time in period C relating to the relevant shares is an associate of the investor (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time).
(4) If either of the following applies—
(a) subsection (3), and
(b) paragraph 13C(3) of Schedule 5B to TCGA 1992 (which makes corresponding provision in relation to relief under that Schedule in respect of re-investment under EIS),
the person who subscribes for the shares is not to be eligible for any EIS relief in relation to those shares or any other shares in the same issue.
(5) In this section “the original recipient”, “the original supplier” and “replacement value” have the same meaning as in section 222.

(ii) a person who falls within subsection (4), or
(b) makes any payment to any such member for giving up the member's right to any of the share capital of the company or subsidiary on its cancellation or extinguishment.

(b) references to a subsidiary of a company are references to a company which, at any time in period A relating to the shares in question, is a 51% subsidiary of the company, whether or not it is such a subsidiary at the time of the repayment.

225 Insignificant repayments ignored for purposes of section 224
(1) A repayment is ignored for the purposes of section 224 (repayments etc of share capital to other persons) if both—
(a) the market value of the shares to which it relates (“the target shares”) immediately before the event occurs, and
(b) the amount received by the member in question,
are insignificant in relation to the market value of the remaining issued share capital of the issuing company (or, as the case may be, the subsidiary) immediately after the event occurs.
This is subject to subsection (3).
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1) it is assumed that the target shares are cancelled at the time the repayment is made.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply if repayment arrangements are in existence at any time in the period—
(a) beginning 12 months before the issue of the relevant shares, and
(b) ending at the end of the issue date.
(4) For this purpose “repayment arrangements” means arrangements which provide—
(a) for a repayment by the issuing company or any subsidiary of that company (whether or not it is such a subsidiary at the time the arrangements are made), or
(b) for anyone to be entitled to such a repayment,
at any time in period C relating to the relevant shares.

226 Amount of repayments etc where there is more than one issue of shares
(1) This section applies if, in relation to the same repayment, section 224(2) applies to EIS relief attributable to two or more issues of shares.
(2) Section 224(2) has effect in relation to the shares included in each of those issues as if the amount referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
AB
where—
A is the amount on which EIS relief was obtained by the individuals in respect of shares which are included in the issue and to which EIS relief is or, but for section 224(2)(b), would be attributable, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts in respect of the other issue or issues.

227 Single issue affecting more than one individual
(1) This section applies if, in relation to the same repayment, section 224(2) applies to EIS relief attributable to shares held by two or more individuals.
(2) Section 224(2) has effect in relation to each individual as if the amount referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
AB
where—
A is the amount on which the individual obtains EIS relief in respect of the shares to which EIS relief is or, but for section 224(2)(b), would be attributable, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts on which the other individual or individuals obtain EIS relief in respect of such shares.

228 Single issue treated as made partly in previous tax year
(1) This section applies if—
(a) section 224(2) applies to EIS relief attributable to shares held by an individual, and
(b) part of the issue of shares has been treated as issued to the individual in a previous tax year for the purposes of section 158(1) and (2) (form and amount of EIS relief).
(2) This subsection explains how the calculation under section 224(2) is to be made.
Step 1
Apportion the amount referred to as “R” between the tax year in which the shares were issued and the previous tax year by multiplying that amount by the fraction—
AB
where—
A is the amount on which the individual obtains EIS relief in respect of the shares treated as issued in the tax year in question, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount in respect of the shares treated as issued in the other tax year.
Step 2
In relation to each of the amounts (“R1” and “R2”) so apportioned to the two tax years, calculate the amounts (“X1” and “X2”) that would be given by the formula if there were separate issues of shares in those tax years.
In calculating amounts X1 and X2, apply section 229 if appropriate but do not apply section 226 or 227.
Step 3
Add amounts X1 and X2 together.
The result is the required amount.

229 Maximum relief not obtained for share issue
(1) This section applies if section 224(2) applies to EIS relief attributable to shares held by an individual and—
(a) the amount of the reduction (“A”) in the individual's liability to income tax for any tax year in respect of the shares, is less than
(b) the amount (“B”) which is equal to income tax at the EIS original rate on the amount on which the individual claims EIS relief in respect of the shares.
Words in s. 229(1)(b) substituted (13.10.2011) (with effect in accordance with s. 42(7)(8) of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2011 (c. 11), s. 42(3)(f)(6); S.I. 2011/2459, art. 2
(2) Section 224(2) has effect as if the amount referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
AB
(3) If the amount of EIS relief attributable to any of the relevant shares has been reduced before the EIS relief was obtained, the amount referred to in subsections (1) and (2) as “A” is to be treated for the purposes of those subsections as the amount that it would have been without that reduction.
(4) Subsection (3) does not apply to a reduction of EIS relief by virtue of section 201(4) (attribution of EIS relief where there is a corresponding issue of bonus shares).

230 Repayment of authorised minimum within 12 months
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a company issues share capital (“the original shares”) of nominal value equal to the authorised minimum (within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006) for the purposes of complying with section 761 of that Act (public company: requirement as to minimum share capital),

231 Restriction on withdrawal of relief under section 224
(1) This section applies if, because of a repayment, any investment relief which is attributable under Schedule 15 to FA 2000 to any shares is withdrawn under paragraph 56(2) of that Schedule.
(2) For the purposes of this section “the relevant amount” is the amount determined by the formula—
A-5B
where—
A is the amount of the repayment, and
B is the total amount of investment relief withdrawn because of the repayment.
(3) If the relevant amount does not exceed £1,000, the repayment is ignored for the purposes of section 224(1), unless repayment arrangements are in existence at any time in the period—
(a) beginning 12 months before the issue of the shares mentioned in subsection (1), and
(b) ending at the end of the issue date.
(4) For this purpose “repayment arrangements” means arrangements which provide—
(a) for a repayment by the issuing company or any subsidiary of that company, or

CHAPTER 5 Attribution and claims for SEIS relief

Attribution

257E Attribution of SEIS relief to shares

This is subject to the provisions of Chapters 6 and 7 providing for the withdrawal or reduction of SEIS relief.
(2) If an individual's liability to income tax is reduced in any tax year, then—
(a) if the reduction is obtained because of one issue of shares, the amount of the tax reduction is attributed to that issue, and
(b) if the reduction is obtained because of two or more issues of shares, the amount of the reduction—
(i) is apportioned between those issues in the same proportions as the amounts claimed by the individual in respect of each issue, and
(ii) is attributed to those issues accordingly.
(3) If under this section an amount of any reduction of income tax is attributed to an issue of shares (“the original issue”), a proportionate part of that amount is attributed to each share in respect of which the claim is made.
(4) If corresponding bonus shares are issued to the individual in respect of any shares (“the original shares”) to which SEIS relief is attributed—
(a) a proportionate part of the total amount attributed to the original shares immediately before the bonus shares are issued is attributed to each of the shares in the holding comprising the original shares and the bonus shares, and
(b) after the issue of the bonus shares, this Part applies as if the original issue had included those shares.

(6) If section 257AB(1) and (2) applies in the case of any issue of shares as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year, this section has effect as if that part and the remainder were separate issues of shares (and that part had been issued on a day in the previous tax year).
(7) If, at a time when SEIS relief is attributable to, or to any part of, any issue of shares, the relief falls to be withdrawn or reduced under Chapters 6 and 7—
(a) if it falls to be withdrawn, the relief attributable to each of the shares in question is reduced to nil, and
(b) if it falls to be reduced by any amount, the relief attributable to each of the shares in question is reduced by a proportionate part of that amount.

Claims: general

257EA Time for making claims for SEIS relief
(1) A claim for SEIS relief in respect of shares issued by a company in any tax year may not be made later than the fifth anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year.
(2) If section 257AB(1) and (2) applies in the case of any issue of shares as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year, this section has effect as if that part and the remainder were separate issues of shares (and that part had been issued on a day in the previous tax year).

(b) have been so met at all times since the shares were issued.
(2) In determining for the purposes of subsection (1) whether the requirements for SEIS relief are met at any time in relation to the issue of shares, references in this Part to the relevant shares are read as references to the shares included in the issue.

CHAPTER 6 Withdrawal or reduction of SEIS relief

Introduction

257F Overview of Chapter
This Chapter provides for SEIS relief to be withdrawn or reduced under—
(a) section 257FA (disposal of shares),
(b) section 257FC (call options),
(c) section 257FD (put options),
(d) section 257FE (value received by the investor),
(e) section 257FP (acquisition of a trade or trading asset),
(f) section 257FQ (acquisition of share capital), and
(g) section 257FR (relief subsequently found not to have been due).

257FA Disposal of shares
(1) This section applies if—
(a) the investor disposes of any of the relevant shares,
(b) the disposal takes place before period B ends, and
(c) SEIS relief is attributable to the shares.
(2) If the disposal is not made by way of a bargain made at arm's length, the SEIS relief attributable to the shares must be withdrawn.
(3) If the disposal is made by way of a bargain made at arm's length, the SEIS relief attributable to the shares must—
(a) if it is greater than the amount given by the formula set out below, be reduced by that amount, and
(b) in any other case, be withdrawn.
The formula is—
R × SEISR
where—
R is the amount or value of the consideration received by the investor for the shares, and
SEISR is the SEIS rate.
(4) This section does not apply to a disposal of shares to which an amount of SEIS relief is attributable if—
(a) the disposal was made by an individual (“A”) to another individual (“B”), and
(b) A and B were married to, or were civil partners of, each other and living together at the time of the disposal.
(5) Section 257HA contains rules for determining which shares of any class are treated as disposed of for the purposes of this section if the investor disposes of some but not all of the shares of that class which are held by the investor.
(6) Nothing in this section applies to a disposal of shares occurring as a result of the investor's death.

257FB Cases where maximum SEIS relief not obtained
(1) If the investor's liability to income tax is reduced for any tax year in respect of any issue of shares and—
(a) the amount of the reduction (“A”), is less than
(b) the amount (“B”) which is equal to tax at the SEIS rate on the amount on which the investor claims SEIS relief in respect of the shares,
section 257FA(3) has effect in relation to a disposal of any of the shares as if the amount or value referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
A B
(2) If section 257AB(1) and (2) applies in the case of any issue of shares as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year, subsection (1) has effect as if that part and the remainder were separate issues of shares (and that part had been issued on a day in the previous tax year).
(3) If the amount of SEIS relief attributable to any of the relevant shares has been reduced before the SEIS relief was obtained, the amount referred to in subsection (1) as A is to be treated for the purposes of that subsection as the amount that it would have been without that reduction.
(4) Subsection (3) does not apply to a reduction of SEIS relief by virtue of section 257E(4) (attribution of SEIS relief if there is a corresponding issue of bonus shares).

257FC Call options
(1) This section applies if the investor grants an option which, if exercised, would bind the investor to sell any of the relevant shares.
(2) The grant of the option is treated for the purposes of section 257FA as a disposal of the shares to which the option relates.
(3) Nothing in this section prejudices section 257CD (no pre-arranged exits).

257FD Put options
(1) This section applies if, at any time in period A, a person grants the investor an option which, if exercised, would bind the grantor to purchase any of the relevant shares.
(2) Any SEIS relief attributable to the shares to which the option relates must be withdrawn.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (2) the shares to which an option relates are those which, if—
(a) the option were exercised immediately after the grant, and
(b) any shares in the issuing company acquired by the investor after the grant were disposed of immediately after being acquired,
would be treated for the purposes of section 257FA as disposed of in pursuance of the option.

Value received by investor

257FE Value received by the investor
(1) This section applies if the investor receives any value from the issuing company at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares.
(2) Any SEIS relief attributable to the shares must—
(a) if it is greater than the amount given by the formula set out below, be reduced by that amount, and
(b) in any other case, be withdrawn.
The formula is—
R × SEISR
where—
R is the amount of the value received by the investor, and
SEISR is the SEIS rate.
(3) This section is subject to the following sections—
(a) section 257FF (value received: receipts of insignificant value),
(b) section 257FJ (value received where there is more than one issue of shares),
(c) section 257FK (value received where part of share issue treated as made in previous tax year),
(d) section 257FL (cases where maximum SEIS relief not obtained),
(e) section 257FM (receipts of value by and from connected persons etc), and
(f) section 257FN (receipt of replacement value).
Sections 257FJ to 257FL are to be applied in the order in which they appear in this Part.
(4) Value received is to be ignored, for the purposes of this section, to the extent to which SEIS relief attributable to the shares has already been withdrawn or reduced on its account.
(5) For the purposes of this section and sections 257FF to 257FO, an individual who acquires any relevant shares on such a transfer as is mentioned in section 257H (spouses or civil partners) is treated as the investor.

257FF Value received: receipts of insignificant value
(1) Section 257FE(2) does not apply if the receipt of value is a receipt of insignificant value.
This is subject to subsection (2).
(2) If—
(a) value is received (“the relevant receipt”) by the investor from the issuing company at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares,
(b) the investor has received from the issuing company one or more receipts of insignificant value at a time or times—
(i) during that period, but
(ii) not later than the time of the relevant receipt, and

(b) if it is more than £1,000, is insignificant in relation to the amount subscribed by the investor for the relevant shares.
This is subject to subsection (3).
(3) If at any time in the period—
(a) beginning 12 months before the issue of the relevant shares, and
(b) ending at the end of the issue date,
repayment arrangements are in existence, no amount of value received by the investor is treated as a receipt of insignificant value.

(c) any director of the issuing company.

(11) The investor is not to be treated as receiving value from the issuing company merely because of the payment to the investor, or any associate of the investor, of any remuneration for services rendered to that company as a director if the remuneration is reasonable remuneration.

Provision	The amount of value received
Section 257FH(2)(a), (b) or (c)	The amount received by the investor or, if greater, the market value of the shares, securities or debt
Section 257FH(2)(d)	The amount of the liability
Section 257FH(2)(e)	The amount of the loan or advance, less the amount of any repayment made before the issue of the relevant shares
Section 257FH(2)(f)	The cost to the issuing company of providing the benefit or facility, less any consideration given for it by the investor

Section 257FH(2)(h)	The amount of the payment
Section 257FH(7)	The amount of the payment or the market value of the asset
Section 257FH(8)	The amount received by the investor or, if greater, the market value of the shares or securities

257FJ Value received where there is more than one issue
(1) This section applies if—
(a) two or more issues of shares in the issuing company have been made to the investor which include shares in respect of which the investor obtains SEIS relief, and
(b) value is received by the investor at any time in the applicable periods for two or more of those issues.
(2) Section 257FE(2) has effect in relation to the shares included in each of the issues referred to in subsection (1)(b) as if the amount of value referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
A B
where—
A is the amount on which the investor obtains SEIS relief in respect of the shares included in the issue in question, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts in respect of the other issue or issues.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (1) “the applicable period” for an issue of shares is period A in relation to those shares.

257FK Value received where part of issue treated as made in previous tax year
(1) This section applies if—
(a) section 257FE(2) applies to an issue of shares, and
(b) section 257AB(1) and (2) (form and amount of SEIS relief) applies in the case of that issue as if part of the issue had been issued in a previous tax year.
(2) This subsection explains how the calculation under section 257FE(2) is to be made.
Step 1 Apportion the amount referred to as “R” between the tax year in which the shares were issued and the previous tax year by multiplying that amount by the fraction—
A B
where—
A is the amount on which the investor obtains SEIS relief in respect of the shares treated as issued in the tax year in question, and
B is the sum of that amount and the corresponding amount in respect of the shares treated as issued in the other tax year.
Step 2 In relation to each of the amounts (“R1” and “R2”) so apportioned to the two tax years, calculate the amounts (“X1” and “X2”) that would be given by the formula if there were separate issues of shares in those tax years. In calculating amounts X1 and X2, apply section 257FL if appropriate but do not apply section 257FJ.
Step 3 Add amounts X1 and X2 together. The result is the required amount.

257FL Cases where maximum SEIS relief not obtained
(1) If the investor's liability to income tax is reduced for any tax year in respect of any issue of shares and—
(a) the amount of the reduction (“A”), is less than
(b) the amount (“B”) which is equal to income tax at the SEIS rate on the amount on which the investor claims SEIS relief in respect of the shares,
section 257FE(2) has effect in relation to any value received as if the amount referred to as “R” were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
A B
(2) If the amount of SEIS relief attributable to any of the relevant shares has been reduced before the SEIS relief was obtained, the amount referred to in subsection (1) as A is to be treated for the purposes of that subsection as the amount that it would have been without that reduction.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to a reduction of SEIS relief by virtue of section 257E(4) (attribution of SEIS relief where there is a corresponding issue of bonus shares).

257FM Receipts of value by and from connected persons etc
In sections 257FE, 257FF and 257FH to 257FJ—
(a) any reference to a payment or transfer to the investor includes a reference to a payment or transfer made to the investor indirectly or to the investor's order or for the investor's benefit,
(b) any reference to the investor includes a reference to an associate of the investor, and
(c) any reference to the issuing company includes a reference to a person who at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares is connected with that company (whether or not that person is so connected at the material time).

257FN Receipt of replacement value
(1) If—
(a) any SEIS relief attributable to the relevant shares would, in the absence of this section, be reduced or withdrawn under section 257FE because of a receipt of value within section 257FH(2), (7) or (8) (“the original value”),
(b) the original supplier receives value (“replacement value”) from the original recipient and the receipt is a qualifying receipt, and
(c) the amount of the replacement value is at least the amount of the original value,
section 257FE does not, because of the receipt of value, have effect to reduce or withdraw the SEIS relief.
This is subject to section 257FO(1) and (2).
(2) For the purposes of this section—
“the original recipient” means the person who receives the original value;
“the original supplier” means the person from whom that value was received.
(3) If the amount of the original value is, by virtue of section 257FJ, treated as reduced for the purposes of section 257FE(2) as it applies in relation to the relevant shares in question, the reference in subsection (1)(c) to the amount of the original value is to be read as a reference to the amount of that value ignoring the reduction.
(4) A receipt of the replacement value is a qualifying receipt for the purposes of subsection (1) if it arises—
(a) because of the original recipient doing one or more of the following—
(i) making a payment to the original supplier, other than a payment within paragraph (c) or a payment to which subsection (5) applies,
(ii) acquiring any asset from the original supplier for a consideration the amount or value of which is more than the market value of the asset,
(iii) disposing of any asset to the original supplier for no consideration or for a consideration the amount or value of which is less than the market value of the asset,
(b) if the receipt of the original value was within section 257FH(2)(d), because of an event the effect of which is to reverse the event which constituted the receipt of the original value, or
(c) if the receipt of the original value was within section 257FH(8), because of the original recipient repurchasing the share capital or securities in question, or (as the case may be) re-acquiring the right in question, for a consideration the amount or value of which is at least the amount of the original value.
(5) This subsection applies to—
(a) any payment for any goods, services or facilities, provided (whether in the course of trade or otherwise) by—
(i) the original supplier, or
(ii) any other person who, at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares, is an associate of, or is connected with, that supplier (whether or not the other person is such an associate, or is so connected, at the material time),
which is reasonable in relation to the market value of those goods, services or facilities,
(b) any payment of any interest which represents no more than a reasonable commercial return on any money lent to—
(i) the original recipient, or
(ii) any person who, at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares, is an associate of that recipient (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time),
(c) any payment for the acquisition of an asset which does not exceed its market value,
(d) any payment, as rent for any property occupied by—
(i) the original recipient, or
(ii) any person who, at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares, is an associate of that recipient (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time),
of an amount not exceeding a reasonable and commercial rent for the property,
(e) any payment in discharge of an ordinary trade debt, and
(f) any payment for shares in or securities of any company in circumstances that do not fall within subsection (4)(a)(ii).
(6) For the purposes of this section, the amount of the replacement value is—
(a) in a case within paragraph (a) of subsection (4), the sum of—
(i) the amount of any payment within sub-paragraph (i) of that paragraph, and
(ii) the difference between the market value of any asset to which sub-paragraph (ii) or (iii) of that paragraph applies and the amount or value of the consideration (if any) received for it,
(b) in a case within subsection (4)(b), the same as the amount of the original value, and
(c) in a case within subsection (4)(c), the amount or value of the consideration received by the original supplier.
Section 257FI applies for the purpose of determining the original value.
(7) In this section—
(a) any reference to a payment to a person (however expressed) includes a reference to a payment made to the person indirectly or to the person's order or for the person's benefit, and
(b) “ordinary trade debt” has the meaning given by section 257FH(13).

257FO Section 257FN: supplementary
(1) The receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier is ignored for the purposes of section 257FN(1) to the extent to which it has previously been set (under that section) against a receipt of value to prevent any reduction or withdrawal of SEIS relief under section 257FE.
(2) The receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier (“the event”) is ignored for the purposes of section 257FN if—
(a) the event occurs before period A relating to the relevant shares,
(b) if the event occurs after the time the original recipient receives the original value, it does not occur as soon after that time as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, or
(c) if an appeal has been brought by the investor against an assessment to withdraw or reduce any SEIS relief attributable to the relevant shares because of the receipt of the original value, the event occurs more than 60 days after the day on which the amount of relief which falls to be withdrawn has been finally determined.
But nothing in section 257FN or this section requires the replacement value to be received after the original value.
(3) This subsection applies if—
(a) the receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier is a qualifying receipt for the purposes of section 257FN(1),
(b) in consequence of the receipt, any receipts of value are ignored for the purposes of section 257FE as that section applies in relation to the shares in question or any other shares subscribed for by the investor, and
(c) the event which gives rise to the receipt is (or includes) a subscription for shares by—
(i) the investor, or
(ii) any person who at any time in period A relating to the relevant shares is an associate of the investor (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time).
(4) If subsection (3) applies, the person who subscribes for the shares is not to be eligible for any SEIS relief in relation to those shares or any other shares in the same issue.
(5) In this section “the original recipient”, “the original supplier” and “replacement value” have the same meaning as in section 257FN.

(b) has given or received value within the meaning of section 257FH(2) or (8) which, but for the fact that the amount given or received was an amount of insignificant value, would have triggered a requirement to give such a notice.
(2) The officer may by notice require the person concerned to supply the officer, within such time as the officer may specify in the notice, with such information relating to the event as the officer may reasonably require for the purposes of this Part.
(3) The period specified in a notice under subsection (2) must be at least 60 days.

CHAPTER 8 Supplementary and general

Disposals of shares

257H Transfers between spouses or civil partners
(1) This section applies if—
(a) shares to which an amount of SEIS relief is attributable were issued to an individual (“A”),
(b) A transferred the shares to another individual (“B”) during their lives,
(c) A was married to, or was the civil partner of, B at the time of the transfer, and
(d) section 257FA (disposal of shares) does not apply to the transfer.
(2) This Part has effect, in relation to any subsequent disposal or other event, as if—
(a) B were the individual who had subscribed for the shares,
(b) the amount that B had subscribed for the shares were the amount that A had subscribed for them,
(c) B's liability to income tax had been reduced in respect of the shares for the same tax year as that for which A's was so reduced,
(d) the amount by which B's liability to income tax had been reduced in respect of the shares were the same as that by which A's liability to income tax had been so reduced, and
(e) that amount of SEIS relief had continued to be attributable to the shares despite the transfer.
(3) If the amount of SEIS relief attributable to the shares had been reduced before the relief was obtained by A—
(a) this Part has effect, in relation to any subsequent disposal or other event, as if the amount of SEIS relief attributable to the shares transferred to B had been correspondingly reduced before the relief was obtained by B, and
(b) sections 257FB(3) and 257FL(2) apply in relation to B as they would have applied in relation to A.
(4) If, because of any such disposal or other event, an assessment for reducing or withdrawing SEIS relief is to be made, the assessment is to be made on B.

257HA Identification of shares on a disposal
(1) The rules in subsections (2) and (3) are for determining which shares of any class are treated as disposed of for the purposes of—
(a) section 257FA (disposal of shares), or
(b) section 257H (spouses or civil partners),
if the investor disposes of some but not all of the shares of that class which the investor holds in a company.
(2) Shares acquired on an earlier day are treated as disposed of before shares acquired on a later day.
(3) Shares acquired on the same day are treated as disposed of in the following order—
(a) first any to which no SEIS relief is attributable,
(b) next any to which SEIS relief (but not SEIS re-investment relief) is attributable, and
(c) next any to which SEIS relief and SEIS re-investment relief are attributable.
(4) Any shares to which SEIS relief is attributable and which were transferred to an individual as mentioned in section 257H are treated for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) as acquired by the individual on the day on which they were issued.
(5) In a case to which section 127 of TCGA 1992 applies (including the case where that section applies by virtue of an enactment relating to chargeable gains), shares included in the new holding are treated for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) as acquired when the original shares were acquired.
(6) In this section—
“new holding” and “original shares” have the same meaning as in section 127 of TCGA 1992 (or, as the case may be, that section as applied by the enactment concerned);
“SEIS re-investment relief” means relief under Schedule 5BB to TCGA 1992.

Acquisition of issuing company

257HB Continuity of SEIS relief where issuing company is acquired by new company
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a company (“the new company”) in which the only issued shares are subscriber shares acquires all the shares (“old shares”) in another company (“the old company”),

(d) new shares of each description are issued to the holders of old shares of the corresponding description in respect of and in proportion to their holdings,

(f) before the issue of the new shares the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs have, on the application of the new company or the old company, notified that company that they are satisfied that the exchange of shares—
(i) will be effected for genuine commercial reasons, and
(ii) will not form part of any such scheme or arrangements as are mentioned in section 137(1) of TCGA 1992 (schemes with avoidance purposes).
In this subsection references to shares, except in the expressions “subscriber shares” and “shares which meet the requirements of section 257CA(2)“, include securities.
(2) Subsection (2) of section 138 of TCGA 1992 (procedure for advance clearance) applies for the purposes of subsection (1)(f) as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section.
(3) For the purposes of this Part—
(a) the exchange of shares is not regarded as involving any disposal of the old shares or any acquisition of the new shares, and
(b) any SEIS relief which is attributable to any old shares is attributable instead to the new shares for which they are exchanged.
(4) Nothing in section 257DG (the control and independence requirement) applies in relation to such an exchange of shares, or shares and securities, as is mentioned in subsection (1), or arrangements with a view to such an exchange.
(5) For the purposes of this section old shares and new shares are of a corresponding description if, on the assumption that they were shares in the same company, they would be of the same class and carry the same rights.
(6) References in sections 257HC and 257HD to “old shares”, “new shares”, “the old company” and “the new company” are to be read in accordance with this section.

(1) This section applies if, under section 257HB, any SEIS relief which is attributable to any old shares becomes attributable instead to any new shares.
(2) This Part has effect as if anything which under—
(a) section 257EB(1) (entitlement to claim),
(b) section 257FR(3) (relief subsequently found not to be due), or
(c) sections 257GF to 257GH (information to be provided),
has been done, or is required to be done, by or in relation to the old company had been done, or were required to be done, by or in relation to the new company.
(3) Any appeal brought by the old company against a notice under section 257FR(3)(b) may be prosecuted by the new company as if it had been brought by that company.

257HD Substitution of new shares for old shares
(1) Subsection (2) applies if, in the case of any new shares held by an individual to which SEIS relief becomes attributable under section 257HB, the old shares for which they were exchanged were subscribed for by and issued to the individual.
(2) This Part has effect as if—
(a) the new shares had been subscribed for by the individual at the time when, and for the amount for which, the old shares were subscribed for by the individual,
(b) the new shares had been issued to the individual by the new company at the time when the old shares were issued to the individual by the old company,
(c) the claim for SEIS relief made in respect of the old shares had been made in respect of the new shares, and
(d) the individual's liability to income tax had been reduced in respect of the new shares for the same tax year as that for which the individual's liability was so reduced in respect of the old shares.
(3) Subsection (4) applies if, in the case of any new shares held by an individual to which SEIS relief becomes so attributable under section 257HB, the old shares for which they were exchanged were transferred to the individual as mentioned in section 257H.
(4) This Part has effect in relation to any subsequent disposal or other event as if—
(a) the new shares had been subscribed for by the individual at the time when, and for the amount for which, the old shares were subscribed for,
(b) the new shares had been issued by the new company at the time when the old shares were issued by the old company,

(5) If corresponding bonus shares are issued to an individual in respect of any shares (“the original shares”) to which SI relief is attributed—
(a) a proportionate part of the total amount attributed to the original shares immediately before the bonus shares are issued is attributed to each of the shares in the holding comprising the original shares and the bonus shares, and
(b) after the issue of the bonus shares, this Part applies as if those shares had been issued to the individual on the same day as the original shares.
(6) In subsection (5) “corresponding bonus shares” means bonus shares which are in the same company, of the same class, and carry the same rights, as the original shares.
(7) If section 257JA(1) and (2) apply in the case of any investment as if part of the amount invested had been invested in a previous tax year, this section has effect as if that part and the remainder had been invested by separate investments (and that part had been invested by an investment made on a day in the previous tax year).
(8) For the purposes of this section, shares or other investments in a company are not treated as being of the same class unless they would be so treated if dealt in on a recognised stock exchange.

CHAPTER 6 Claims for relief

257P Time for making claims for SI relief
(1) A claim for SI relief in respect of the amount invested may be made—
(a) not earlier than the time the requirement in section 257MM(2) (chosen trade must have been carried on for 4 months) is first met, and
(b) not later than the fifth anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year in which the investment is made.
(2) If the social enterprise is an accredited social impact contractor, subsection (1) applies with the omission of its paragraph (a).
(3) If section 257JA(1) and (2) apply as if part of the amount invested had been invested in a previous tax year, subsection (1) has effect as if that part and the remainder had been invested by separate investments (and that part had been invested by an investment made on a day in the previous tax year).

257PA Entitlement to claim
(1) The investor is entitled to make a claim for SI relief in respect of the amount invested if the investor has received from the social enterprise a compliance certificate in respect of that amount.
(2) For the purposes of PAYE regulations, no regard is to be had to SI relief unless a claim for it has been duly made.
(3) No application may be under section 55(3) or (4) of TMA 1970 (application for postponement of payment of tax pending appeal) on the ground that the investor is entitled to SI relief unless a claim for the relief has been duly made by the investor.

257PB Compliance statements
(1) For the purposes of this Part, a “compliance statement” in respect of the investment is a statement by the social enterprise to the effect that, except so far as they fall to be met by or in relation to the individual, the requirements for SI relief—
(a) are for the time being met in relation to the investment (or in relation to investments that include the investment), and
(b) have been so met at all times since the investment was made.
(2) A compliance statement must be in such form as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may direct and must contain—
(a) such additional information as the Commissioners may reasonably require, including in particular information relating to the persons who have requested the issue of compliance certificates,
(b) a declaration that the statement is correct to the best of the social enterprise's knowledge and belief, and
(c) such other declarations as the Commissioners may reasonably require.
(3) The social enterprise may not provide an officer of Revenue and Customs with a compliance statement in respect of the investment—
(a) before the requirement in section 257MM(2) (trade must have been carried for 4 months) is met, or
(b) later than 2 years after the end of the tax year in which the investment is made or, if that requirement is first met after the end of that tax year, later than 2 years after the requirement is first met.
(4) If the social enterprise is an accredited social impact contractor, subsection (3) applies with the omission of its paragraph (a).

257PC Compliance certificates
(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, a “compliance certificate” is a certificate which—
(a) is issued by the social enterprise in respect of the investment,
(b) states that, except so far as they fall to be met by or in relation to the individual, the requirements for SI relief are for the time being met in relation to the investment, and
(c) is in such form as the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may direct.
(2) Before issuing a compliance certificate, the social enterprise must provide an officer of Revenue and Customs with a compliance statement in respect of the investment.
(3) The social enterprise must not issue a compliance certificate without the authority of an officer of Revenue and Customs.
(4) If the social enterprise, or a person connected with the social enterprise, has under section 257SF given a notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs that relates (whether or not exclusively) to the investment, a compliance certificate must not be issued unless the authority mentioned in subsection (3) of this section is given or renewed after receipt of the notice.
(5) If—
(a) an officer of Revenue and Customs has been requested to give or renew an authority to issue a compliance certificate, and
(b) an officer of Revenue and Customs has decided whether or not to do so,
an officer of Revenue and Customs must give notice of the decision to the social enterprise.
(6) For the purposes of the provisions of TMA 1970 relating to appeals, the refusal of an officer of Revenue and Customs to authorise the issue of a compliance certificate is taken to be a decision disallowing a claim by the social enterprise.
(7) In the case of requirements that cannot be met until a future time, references in this section to requirements being met for the time being are to nothing having occurred to prevent their being met.

257PD Penalties for fraudulent certificate or statement etc
The social enterprise is liable to a penalty not exceeding £3,000 if—
(a) it issues a compliance certificate, or provides a compliance statement, which is made fraudulently or negligently, or
(b) it issues a compliance certificate in contravention of section 257PC(3) or (4).

257PE Power to amend Chapter
(1) The Treasury may by order amend this Chapter.
(2) An order under this section may include consequential, incidental or transitional provision or savings, including consequential amendments, repeals or revocations of provision made by or under an enactment (including this Act) whenever passed or made.
(3) An order under this section may make different provision for different cases or purposes.
(4) An order under this section may, in particular, make provision for persons to be liable to penalties whose amount, or maximum amount, does not exceed £3,000.

CHAPTER 7 Withdrawal or reduction of SI relief

Value received by the investor

257Q Effect of the investor receiving value from the social enterprise
(1) If the investor receives any value from the social enterprise at any time in the longer applicable period, any SI relief given in respect of the investment must—
(a) if it is greater than the amount given by the formula set out in subsection (2), be reduced by that amount, and
(b) in any other case, be withdrawn.
(2) The formula is—
V×R
where—
V is the amount of the value received, and
R is the SI rate for the tax year for which the SI relief was given.
(3) Subsections (1) and (2) are subject to—
(a) section 257QA (value received: insignificant receipts),
(b) section 257QB (value received where there is more than one issue of investments),
(c) section 257QC (value received where part of investment treated as made in previous tax year),
(d) section 257QD (cases where maximum SI relief not obtained),
(e) section 257QG (receipts of value by and from connected persons etc), and
(f) section 257QH (receipt of replacement value).
(4) Sections 257QB to 257QD are to be applied in the order in which they appear in this Part.
(5) Value received is to be ignored, for the purposes of this section, so far as SI relief attributable to the investment has already been withdrawn or reduced on its account.
(6) For the purposes of this section and sections 257QA to 257QI, an individual—
(a) who acquires any part of the investment, and
(b) who does so on such a transfer as is mentioned in section 257T (spouses or civil partners),
is treated as the investor.

257QA Value received: insignificant receipts
(1) In this section “insignificant receipt” means a receipt whose amount—
(a) is not more than £1,000, or
(b) is more than £1,000 but is insignificant in relation to the amount invested.
(2) Section 257Q(1) does not apply to an insignificant receipt, subject as follows.
(3) Section 257Q(1) applies to all receipts within the longer applicable period if, at any time on the investment date or in the preceding 12 months, arrangements are in existence providing for the investor to receive, or to be entitled to receive, value from the social enterprise at any time in the longer applicable period.
(4) Once section 257Q(1) has applied to a receipt, it applies also to all other receipts within the longer applicable period except any earlier insignificant receipts.
(5) The amount of the first receipt to which section 257Q(1) applies is treated as increased by the total amount of any earlier insignificant receipts.
(6) In subsection (3)—
(a) the reference to the investor includes any person who at any time in the longer applicable period is an associate of the investor (whether or not an associate at the material time), and
(b) the reference to the social enterprise includes any person who at any time in the longer applicable period is connected with the social enterprise (whether or not connected at the material time).

257QB Value received where there is more than one issue of investments
(1) Subsection (3) applies if—
(a) a time in the longer applicable period when the investor receives value from the social enterprise is within the period that for the purposes of this Part is the longer applicable period in relation to another investment in the social enterprise, and
(b) that other investment is one for which the investor has SI relief.
(2) That other investment is an “overlapping investment” for the purposes of subsection (3).
(3) Section 257Q(2) has effect in relation to the investment as if the amount V were reduced by multiplying it by—
IT
where—
I is the amount on which the investor has SI relief in the case of the investment, and
T is the total of that amount and the corresponding amount for each overlapping investment.

257QC Value received where part of investment treated as made in previous tax year
(1) Subsection (2) applies if—
(a) section 257Q(1) applies to a receipt, and
(b) section 257JA(1) and (2) apply as if part of the amount invested had been invested in a previous tax year.
(2) The calculation under section 257Q(2) in relation to that receipt is to be made as follows—
Step 1 Apportion the amount referred to as “V” between the tax year in which the investment was made and the preceding tax year by multiplying that amount by—
AB
where—
A is the part of the amount invested on which the investor obtains SI relief for the tax year in question, and
B is the sum of—
(a) that part, and
(b) the part of the amount invested on which the investor obtains SI relief for the other tax year.
Step 2 In relation to each of the amounts (“V1” and “V2”) so apportioned to the two tax years, calculate the amounts (“X1” and “X2”) that would be given by the formula if separate investments had been made in those tax years. In calculating amounts X1 and X2, apply section 257QD if appropriate but do not apply section 257QB.
Step 3 Add amounts X1 and X2 together. The result is the required amount.

257QD Cases where maximum SI relief not obtained
(1) If the investor's liability to income tax is reduced for any tax year in respect of the investment and—
(a) the amount of the reduction (“A”), is less than
(b) the amount (“B”) which is equal to income tax at the SI rate for that tax year on the amount on which the investor has SI relief in the case of the investment,
section 257Q(2) has effect in relation to any value received as if the amount referred to as “V” were reduced by multiplying it by—
AB
(2) If the amount of SI relief attributable to the investment has been reduced before the SI relief was obtained, the amount referred to in subsection (1) as “A” is to be treated for the purposes of that subsection as the amount that it would have been without that reduction.
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to a reduction of SI relief as a result of section 257N(5) (attribution of SI relief where there is a corresponding issue of bonus shares).

257QE When value is received
(1) This section applies for the purposes of sections 257Q and 257QB.
(2) The investor receives value from the social enterprise at any time when the social enterprise—
(a) repays, redeems or repurchases any investments in the social enterprise which belong to the investor, or makes any payment to the investor for giving up the investor's right to investments in the social enterprise on their cancellation or extinguishment,
(b) repays, in pursuance of any arrangements for or in connection with the making of the investment, any debt owed to the investor other than a debt which was incurred by the social enterprise—
(i) on or after the investment date, and
(ii) otherwise than in consideration of the extinguishment of a debt incurred before that date,
(c) makes to the investor any payment for giving up on its extinguishment the investor's right to any debt, other than—
(i) a debt in respect of a repayment of the kind mentioned in section 257LF(5)(a) or (f), or
(ii) an ordinary trade debt,
(d) releases or waives any liability of the investor to the social enterprise or discharges or undertakes to discharge any liability of the investor to a third person,
(e) makes a loan or advance to the investor which has not been repaid in full before the investment is made,
(f) provides a benefit or facility for the investor by providing, at a price less than the arm's-length price or free of charge, goods or services for whose provision the social enterprise ordinarily makes a charge,
(g) otherwise provides any benefit or facility for the investor,
(h) transfers an asset to the investor for no consideration or for consideration less than its market value or acquires an asset from the investor for consideration greater than its market value, or
(i) makes to the investor any other payment except—
(i) a payment of a kind mentioned in section 257LF(5), or
(ii) a payment in discharge of an ordinary trade debt.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(d), the social enterprise is treated as having released or waived a liability if the liability is not discharged within 12 months of the time when it ought to have been discharged.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (2)(e), each of the following is treated as a loan made by the social enterprise to the investor—
(a) the amount of any debt, other than an ordinary trade debt, incurred by the investor to the social enterprise, and
(b) the amount of any debt due from the investor to a third party which has been assigned to the social enterprise.
(5) The investor also receives value from the social enterprise if—
(a) in respect of ordinary shares, or qualifying debt investments, held by the investor any payment or asset is received in a winding-up or dissolution of the social enterprise, and
(b) the winding-up or dissolution is for genuine commercial reasons, and is not part of any arrangements the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of tax.
(6) The investor also receives value from the social enterprise if—
(a) a person—
(i) purchases any investments in the social enterprise which belong to the investor, or
(ii) makes any payment to the investor for giving up any right in relation to any investments in the social enterprise, and
(b) that person is an individual in relation to whom not all of the requirements in sections 257LF and 257LG would be met if references in those sections to the investor were read as references to that person.
(7) If, because of the investor's disposal of investments in the social enterprise, any SI relief attributable to those investments is withdrawn or reduced under section 257R, the investor is not to be treated as receiving value from the social enterprise in respect of the disposal.
(8) If the investor is a director of the social enterprise, the investor is not to be treated as receiving value from the social enterprise merely because of the payment to the investor of reasonable remuneration (including any benefit or facility) for any services rendered to the social enterprise as a director or employee.
(9) In this section “ordinary trade debt” means any debt for goods or services supplied in the ordinary course of a trade or business if any credit given—
(a) is for not more than 6 months, and
(b) is not for longer than that normally given to customers of the person carrying on the trade or business.

257QF The amount of value received

Section 257QE(2)(d)	The amount of the liability
Section 257QE(2)(e)	The amount of the loan or advance, less the amount of any repayment made before the investment is made
Section 257QE(2)(f)	The arm's-length price for the goods or services, less any amount paid for them by the investor

257QG Receipts of value by and from connected persons etc
In sections 257Q, 257QA, 257QB, 257QE and 257QF—
(a) any reference to a payment or transfer to the investor includes a reference to a payment or transfer made to the investor indirectly or to the investor's order or for the investor's benefit,
(b) any reference to the investor includes a reference to an associate of the investor, and
(c) any reference to the social enterprise includes a reference to a person who at any time in the longer applicable period is connected with the social enterprise (whether or not that person is so connected at the material time).

257QH Receipt of replacement value
(1) If—
(a) any SI relief attributable to the investment would, in the absence of this section, be reduced or withdrawn under section 257Q because of a receipt of value within section 257QE(2) or (6) (“the original value”),
(b) the original supplier receives value (“the replacement value”) from the original recipient and the receipt is a qualifying receipt, and
(c) the amount of the replacement value is at least the amount of the original value,
section 257Q does not, because of the receipt of the original value, have effect to withdraw or reduce the SI relief.
This is subject to section 257QI(1) and (2).
(2) For the purposes of this section—
“the original recipient” means the person who receives the original value, and
“the original supplier” means the person from whom that value was received.
(3) If the amount of the original value is, by virtue of section 257QB, treated as reduced for the purposes of section 257Q(2) as it applies in relation to the investment, the reference in subsection (1)(c) to the amount of the original value is to be read as a reference to the amount of that value ignoring the reduction.
(4) A receipt of the replacement value is a qualifying receipt for the purposes of subsection (1) if it arises—
(a) because of the original recipient doing one or more of the following—
(i) making a payment to the original supplier, other than a payment within paragraph (c) or a payment to which subsection (5) applies,
(ii) acquiring any asset from the original supplier for a consideration the amount or value of which is more than the market value of the asset, and
(iii) disposing of any asset to the original supplier for no consideration or for a consideration the amount or value of which is less than the market value of the asset,
(b) if the receipt of the original value was within section 257QE(2)(d), because of an event the effect of which is to reverse the event which constituted the receipt of the original value, or
(c) if the receipt of the original value was within section 257QE(6), because of the original recipient repurchasing the investments in question, or (as the case may be) re-acquiring the right in question, for a consideration the amount or value of which is at least the amount of the original value.
(5) This subsection applies to—
(a) any payment for any goods, services or facilities, provided (whether in the course of trade or otherwise) by—
(i) the original supplier, or
(ii) any other person who at any time in the longer applicable period is an associate of, or is connected with, the original supplier (whether or not the person is such an associate, or is so connected, at the material time),
which is reasonable in relation to the market value of those goods, services or facilities,
(b) any payment of any interest which represents no more than a reasonable commercial return on any money lent to—
(i) the original recipient, or
(ii) any other person who at any time in the longer applicable period is an associate of the original recipient (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time),
(c) any payment for the acquisition of an asset which does not exceed its market value,
(d) any payment, as rent for any property occupied by—
(i) the original recipient, or
(ii) any person who at any time in the longer applicable period is an associate of the original recipient (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time),
of an amount not exceeding a reasonable and commercial rent for the property,
(e) any payment in discharge of an ordinary trade debt, and
(f) any payment for shares in or securities of any company in circumstances that do not fall within subsection (4)(a)(ii).
(6) For the purposes of this section, the amount of the replacement value is—
(a) in a case within paragraph (a) of subsection (4), the sum of—
(i) the amount of any payment within sub-paragraph (i) of that paragraph, and
(ii) the difference between the market value of any asset to which sub-paragraph (ii) or (iii) of that paragraph applies and the amount or value of the consideration (if any) received for it,
(b) in a case within subsection (4)(b), the same as the amount of the original value, and
(c) in a case within subsection (4)(c), the amount or value of the consideration received by the original supplier.
Section 257QF applies for the purpose of determining the amount of the original value.
(7) In this section—
(a) any reference to a payment to a person (however expressed) includes a reference to a payment made to the person indirectly or to the person's order or for the person's benefit, and
(b) “ordinary trade debt” has the meaning given by section 257QE(9).

257QI Section 257QH: supplementary
(1) The receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier is ignored for the purposes of section 257QH(1) to the extent to which it has previously been set under section 257QH against a receipt of value to prevent any reduction or withdrawal of SI relief under section 257Q.
(2) The receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier (“the event”) is ignored for the purposes of section 257QH if—
(a) the event occurs before the longer applicable period,
(b) where the event occurs after the time the original recipient receives the original value, it does not occur as soon after that time as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, or
(c) where an appeal has been brought by the investor against an assessment to withdraw or reduce any SI relief attributable to the investment because of the receipt of the original value, the event occurs more than 60 days after the day on which the amount of the relief which falls to be withdrawn has been finally determined.
But nothing in section 257QH or this section requires the replacement value to be received after the original value.
(3) This subsection applies if—
(a) the receipt of the replacement value by the original supplier is a qualifying receipt for the purposes of section 257QH(1), and
(b) in consequence of the receipt, any receipts of value are ignored for the purposes of section 257Q as that section applies in relation to the investment or any other investments made by the investor, and
(c) the event which gives rise to the receipt is (or includes) the making of an investment by—
(i) the investor, or
(ii) any person who at any time in the longer applicable period is an associate of the investor (whether or not the person is such an associate at the material time).
(4) If subsection (3) applies, the person who makes the investment concerned is not to be eligible for SI relief in relation to the investment concerned or any other investments in the same issue.
(5) In this section “the original recipient”, “the original supplier” and “replacement value” have the same meaning as in section 257QH.

Repayments etc of investments to other persons

257QJ Repayments etc of share capital to other persons
(1) This section applies if any SI relief is attributable to the whole or any part of the investment and, at any time in the longer applicable period, the social enterprise or any subsidiary—
(a) repays, redeems or repurchases any of its share capital which belongs to any member other than—
(i) the investor, or
(ii) a person who falls within subsection (5), or
(b) makes any payment to any such member for giving up the member's right to any of the share capital of the social enterprise or subsidiary on its cancellation or extinguishment.
(2) The SI relief must—
(a) if it is greater than the amount given by the formula set out in subsection (3), be reduced by that amount, and
(b) in any other case, be withdrawn.
(3) The formula is—
A×R
where—
A is the amount received by the member, and
R is the SI rate for the tax year for which the SI relief was given.
(4) This section is subject to sections 257QK to 257QP; and sections 257QL to 257QO are to be applied in the order in which they appear in this Part.
(5) A person falls within this subsection if the repayment causes any SI relief attributable to that person's shares in the social enterprise to be withdrawn or reduced by virtue of—
(a) section 257QE(2)(a) (receipt of value by virtue of repayment of investments etc), or
(b) section 257R (disposal of whole or part of the investment).
(6) A repayment is treated as having the effect mentioned in subsection (5)(a) if it would have that effect were it not an insignificant receipt; and here “insignificant receipt” is to be read in accordance with section 257QA(1).
(7) A repayment is to be ignored, for the purposes of this section, to the extent to which SI relief attributable to any shares has already been withdrawn or reduced on its account.
(8) In this section and sections 257QK to 257QP—
(a) “repayment” means a repayment, redemption, repurchase or payment mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b), and
(b) references to a subsidiary of the social enterprise are references to a company which at any time in the longer applicable period is a 51% subsidiary of the social enterprise (whether or not it is such a subsidiary at the time of the repayment).

257QK Insignificant payments ignored for the purposes of section 257QJ
(1) A repayment is ignored for the purposes of section 257QJ if both—
(a) the market value of the shares to which it relates (“the target shares”) immediately before the event occurs, and
(b) the amount received by the member in question,
are insignificant in relation to the market value of the remaining issued share capital of the social enterprise, or (as the case may be) the subsidiary, immediately after the event occurs.
This is subject to subsection (3).
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1) it is to be assumed that the target shares are cancelled at the time the repayment is made.
(3) Subsection (1) does not apply if repayment arrangements are in existence at any time in the period—
(a) beginning 12 months before the investment date, and
(b) ending at the end of the investment date.
(4) For this purpose “repayment arrangements” means arrangements which provide—
(a) for a repayment by the social enterprise or any subsidiary of the social enterprise (whether or not it is such a subsidiary at the time the arrangements are made), or
(b) for anyone to be entitled to such a repayment,
at any time in the longer applicable period.

257QL Amount of repayments etc if there is more than one issue of shares
(1) This section applies if, in relation to the same repayment, section 257QJ(2) applies to SI relief attributable to two or more issues of shares.
(2) Section 257QJ(3) has effect in relation to the shares included in each of those issues as if the amount referred to as A were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
IT
where—
I is the amount on which SI relief was obtained by individuals in respect of shares which are included in the issue and to which SI relief is or, but for section 257QJ(2)(b), would be attributable, and
T is the total of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts in respect of the other issue or issues.

257QM Single issue affecting more than one individual
(1) This section applies if, in relation to the same repayment, section 257QJ(2) applies to SI relief attributable to shares held by two or more individuals.
(2) Section 257QJ(3) has effect in relation to each individual as if the amount referred to as A were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
IT
where—
I is the amount on which the individual obtains SI relief in respect of the shares to which SI relief is or, but for section 257QJ(2)(b), would be attributable, and
T is the total of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts on which the other individual or individuals obtain SI relief in respect of such shares.

257QN Single issue treated as made partly in previous tax year
(1) This section applies if—
(a) section 257QJ(2) applies to SI relief attributable to shares held by an individual, and
(b) part of the issue of shares has been treated as issued to the individual in a previous tax year for the purposes of section 257JA(1) and (2).
(2) This subsection explains how the calculation under section 257QJ(3) is to be made.
Step 1 Apportion the amount referred to as A between the tax year in which the shares were issued and the previous tax year by multiplying that amount by the fraction—
IT
where—
I is the amount on which the individual obtains SI relief in respect of the shares treated as issued in the tax year in question, and
T is the total of that amount and the corresponding amount in respect of the shares treated as issued in the other tax year.
Step 2 In relation to each of the amounts (“A1” and “A2”) so apportioned to the two tax years, calculate the amounts (“X1” and “X2”) that would be given by the formula if there were separate issues of shares in those tax years. In calculating amounts X1 and X2, apply section 257QO if appropriate but do not apply section 257QL or 257QM.
Step 3 Add amounts X1 and X2 together. The result is the required amount.

257QO Maximum relief not obtained for share issue
(1) This section applies if section 257QJ(2) applies to SI relief attributable to shares held by the investor and—
(a) the amount of the reduction (“D”) in the investor's liability to income tax for any tax year in respect of the shares, is less than
(b) the amount given by—
I×R
where—
I is the amount on which the investor claims SI relief in respect of the investment, and
R is the SI rate for the tax year for which the SI relief was given.

384A Restriction on relief where arrangements minimise risk to borrower
(1) Relief is not to be given under this Chapter for interest paid by a person on a loan if—
(a) the loan is made to the person (“the borrower”) as part of arrangements which appear very likely to produce a post-tax advantage, and
(b) the arrangements seem to have been designed to reduce any income tax or capital gains tax to which the borrower (or any person whose circumstances are like those of the borrower) would be liable apart from the arrangements.
(2) Arrangements “appear very likely” to produce a post-tax advantage if (and only if) it would be reasonable to assume from either or both of—
(a) the likely effect of the arrangements, and
(b) the circumstances in which the arrangements, or any parts of the arrangements, are entered into or effected,
that there is no risk, or only an insignificant risk, that they will not produce a post-tax advantage.
(3) “Produce a post-tax advantage” means give rise to a sum or sums—
(a) payable to the borrower or a person connected with the borrower, or
(b) payable to any other person for the benefit of the borrower or a person connected with the borrower,
of an amount (or aggregate amount) which, after making the appropriate tax adjustments, is equal to or greater than the relevant amount.
(4) “The relevant amount” is the aggregate of—
(a) the amount required to meet the borrower's obligations in respect of the loan, and
(b) any amount which is used by the borrower in the same way as that which entitles the borrower to relief under this Chapter in respect of the loan and is not money lent to the borrower under any loan.
(5) If, with a view to securing that the condition in subsection (1)(a) is not met, the arrangements make provision for securing that, in all or any circumstances in which they do not produce a post-tax advantage, they will produce a broadly compensatory amount, the arrangements are to be regarded for the purposes of subsection (2) as making provision for securing the production of a post-tax advantage in those circumstances.
(6) “Produce a broadly compensatory amount” means give rise to a sum or sums payable as mentioned in subsection (3) of an amount (or aggregate amount) which, after making the appropriate tax adjustments, is not significantly less than the relevant amount.
(7) For the purposes of subsections (3) and (6) causing the value of an asset to be obtainable, directly or indirectly, by a person is to be treated as equivalent to giving rise to a sum payable to the person of an amount equal to that value.
(8) To make the appropriate tax adjustments for the purpose of subsection (3) or (6)—
(a) if A exceeds B, deduct the amount of the excess from the amount (or aggregate amount), and
(b) if B exceeds A, add the amount of the excess to the amount (or aggregate amount).
(9) For the purposes of subsection (8)—
A is the amount of any income tax, any capital gains tax and any tax under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom to which the borrower is liable in consequence of the arrangements, and
B is the amount by which the borrower's liability to income tax and capital gains tax is (or apart from subsection (1) would be) reduced in consequence of the arrangements.
(10) Arrangements seem to have been designed to reduce any income tax or capital gains tax to which the borrower (or any person whose circumstances are like those of the borrower) would be liable apart from the arrangements if (and only if) it would be reasonable to assume from either or both of—
(a) the likely effect of the arrangements, and
(b) the circumstances in which the arrangements, or any parts of the arrangements, are entered into or effected,
that the arrangements, or any parts of the arrangements, are designed to do so.
(11) In this section “arrangements” means arrangements consisting of any number of agreements, understandings, schemes, transactions or other arrangements (whether or not legally enforceable); but in subsections (1)(a), (2), (5) and (9) the references to arrangements also include any related transactions.
(12) In subsection (11) “related transactions” means transactions in the case of which it is reasonable to assume from either or both of—
(a) the likely effect of the transactions, and
(b) the circumstances in which the transactions are entered into or effected,
that the transactions would not have been entered into or effected independently of the arrangements.
(13) Transactions are not prevented from being related transactions just because the transactions—
(a) are not between the same parties, or
(b) are not between parties to the arrangements.

General and supplementary

406 Effect of recovery of capital in the case of some loans
(1) This section applies if the individual to whom a loan is made to which section 392, 396, 398 or 401 applies recovers any amount of capital from the company, partnership or co-operative concerned at any time after the loan is used.
(2) The individual is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as having repaid that amount out of the loan at that time, whether or not such a repayment occurred.
(3) Accordingly, only part of the interest that, apart from any such repayment, would be payable on the loan for any period after that time and eligible for relief is so eligible.
(4) That part is so much of that interest as is attributable to the amount of the loan after the repayment.
(5) In the case of a loan to which section 386 applies (loans partly meeting requirements), subsection (3) applies instead of section 386(3) (under which repayments are apportioned between the qualifying and non-qualifying parts of such loans).
(6) The cases in which an individual is treated as having recovered an amount of capital for the purposes of this section are set out in section 407(1) to (3).

407 Events counting as recovery of capital for section 406
(1) An individual is treated as having recovered an amount of capital from a company for the purposes of section 406 if—
(a) the individual receives consideration of that amount or value—
(i) for the sale, exchange or assignment of part of the ordinary share capital of the company,
(ii) by way of repayment of part of that ordinary share capital, or
(iii) for assigning a debt due to the individual from the company, or
(b) the company repays that amount of a loan or advance from the individual.
(2) An individual is treated as having recovered an amount of capital from a partnership for those purposes if—
(a) the individual receives consideration of that amount or value—
(i) for the sale, exchange or assignment of part of the individual's interest in the partnership, or
(ii) for assigning a debt due to the individual from the partnership, or
(b) the partnership repays that amount of a loan or advance from the individual, or
(c) the partnership returns that amount of capital to the individual.
(3) An individual is treated as having recovered an amount of capital from a co-operative for those purposes if—

(i) for the sale, exchange or assignment of part of the individual's shares in the co-operative,
(ii) by way of repayment of part of the individual's shares in the co-operative, or
(iii) for assigning a debt due to the individual from the co-operative, or
(b) the co-operative repays that amount of a loan or advance from the individual.
(4) A sale or assignment that is not a bargain made at arm's length is treated for the purposes of this section as being made for a consideration of an amount equal to the market value of what is disposed of.

408 Replacement loans
(1) This section applies to a replacement loan.
(2) In subsection (1) “replacement loan” means a loan to which section 392, 396, 398 or 401 applies because the loan is used in repaying another loan (“the replaced loan”) to which that section applies.
(3) This Chapter, except for sections 385 and 386, applies to the replacement loan as if that loan and the replaced loan were a single loan (subject to subsection (5)).
(4) Accordingly, any restriction under section 406 (effect of recovery of capital in the case of some loans) which applies to the replaced loan applies to the replacement loan.
(5) But this Chapter, except for sections 385 and 386, applies as if references to the use of the loan were references to the use of the original loan.

409 Business successions between partnerships
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a loan to which section 398 applies is made to an individual,
(b) the partnership in question (“the old partnership”) is dissolved,
(c) on its dissolution another partnership of which the individual is a member (“the new partnership”) is formed to carry on the whole or part of the undertaking carried on by the old partnership, and
(d) interest payable on the loan for the period ending with the dissolution of the old partnership was eligible for relief (or would have been had any been payable).
(2) This Chapter applies as if the old partnership and the new partnership were the same partnership.
(3) Section 399(5) (salaried partners etc treated as partners) applies for the purposes of subsection (1)(c) as it applies for the purposes of section 399(2).

410 Other business successions and reorganisations
(1) This subsection applies if—
(a) a loan to which one of the business loan provisions or section 398 (loan to invest in partnership) applies is made to an individual (“the original loan”),
(b) the company, partnership or co-operative in question is involved in a transaction as a result of which the individual acquires shares in or makes a loan to another company or a body that is a co-operative,
(c) interest payable on the original loan for the period ending with the time of the transaction was eligible for relief (or would have been had any been payable), and
(d) had the original loan been made at the time of the transaction and applied in acquiring the shares in or making the loan to the other company or the co-operative, the original loan would have fallen within one of the business loan provisions.
(2) If subsection (1) applies, from the time of the transaction referred to in subsection (1)(b) the original loan is treated as if it had been made and applied as mentioned in subsection (1)(d).
(3) In this section “the business loan provisions” means—
(a) section 392 (loan to buy interest in close company),
(b) section 396 (loan to buy interest in employee-controlled company), and
(c) section 401 (loan to invest in co-operative).

(b) the business carried on by the close company, employee-controlled company or partnership concerned consists of the occupation of commercial woodlands.
(2) If only part of the business consists in such occupation, only part of the interest is ineligible for the relief.
(3) That part is such part of the interest as it is just and reasonable to attribute to that part of the business having regard to all the relevant circumstances and, in particular, to the extent of the other part of the business.
(4) For the purposes of this section two or more businesses carried on by a company or partnership are to be regarded as a single business.
(5) In this section “commercial woodlands” means woodlands in the United Kingdom which are managed on a commercial basis and with a view to the realisation of profits.

Amount of relief

434 The relievable amount
(1) If the disposal is a gift, the relievable amount is given by the formula—
V+IC-B
where—
V is the value of the net benefit to the charity at, or immediately after, the time when the disposal is made, whichever is less,
IC is the amount of the incidental costs of making the disposal to the individual making it, and
B is the total value of any benefits received in consequence of making the disposal by the individual making the disposal or a person connected with the individual.
(2) If the disposal is at an undervalue, the relievable amount is given by the formula—
E+C-B
where—
E is the amount (if any) by which V (as defined in subsection (1)) exceeds the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal,
C is given by subsection (4), and
B is as defined in subsection (1).
(3) But if the amount given by the formula in subsection (1) or (2) is a negative amount, the relievable amount is nil.
(4) C is found by taking the following steps.
Step 1
Calculate the consideration for which the disposal is treated as made for the purposes of TCGA 1992 as a result of section 257(2)(a) of that Act (in case of disposal to charity etc, consideration to be such that no gain or loss accrues).
Step 2
Find the excess (if any) of the amount calculated at Step 1 over the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal.
If there is such an excess, C is the amount of that excess or, if less, the amount of the incidental costs of making the disposal to the individual making it.
If there is no such excess, C is nil.
(5) This section needs to be read with—
(a) section 435 (incidental costs of making disposal),
(b) section 436 (consideration), and
(c) sections 437 to 440 (value of net benefit to charity).

435 Incidental costs of making disposal
References in section 434 to the incidental costs of making the disposal to the individual making it are to—
(a) fees, commission or remuneration paid for the professional services of a surveyor, valuer, auctioneer, accountant, agent or legal adviser which are wholly and exclusively incurred by the individual for the purposes of the disposal,
(b) costs of transfer or conveyance wholly and exclusively incurred by the individual for the purposes of the disposal,
(c) costs of advertising to find a buyer, and
(d) costs reasonably incurred in making any valuation or apportionment required for the purposes of this Chapter.

436 Consideration
(1) For the purposes of the formula in section 434(2) consideration for the disposal is brought into account—
(a) without any discount for postponement of the right to receive any part of it,
(b) in the first instance, without regard to a risk of any part of it being irrecoverable, and
(c) in the first instance, without regard to the right to receive any part of it being contingent.
(2) If—
(a) any part of the consideration so brought into account subsequently proves to be irrecoverable, and
(b) a claim is made,
such adjustment as is required in consequence must be made.
(3) An adjustment under subsection (2) may be made by way of discharge or repayment of tax or otherwise.

(5) Expenses are allowable for the purposes of this Chapter only so far as—
(a) they are expenses of the trustees, and
(b) they are properly chargeable to income, ignoring the express terms of the settlement.
(6) Expenses are not allowable for the purposes of this Chapter if they are expenses which (apart from this section) have fallen, or may fall, to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the trustees' liability to income tax for any tax year.

485 Carry forward of unused expenses
(1) This section applies if (apart from this section) the trustees incur an allowable expense in a tax year prior to the current tax year (“the earlier tax year”).
(2) For the purposes of this Chapter the trustees are treated as having incurred the allowable expense in the current tax year so far as conditions A and B are met in relation to the expense.
(3) Condition A is that the allowable expense could not be set against the trustees' trust rate income for the earlier tax year only because the trustees' trust rate income was insufficient or they had no trust rate income.
(4) Condition B is that the allowable expense has not been set against the trustees' trust rate income for a tax year prior to the current tax year as a result of this section.

486 How allowable expenses are to be set against trust rate income
(1) Take the following steps to determine how the allowable expenses are to be set against the trustees' trust rate income for the current tax year.
Step 1
Reduce the allowable expenses by the proportion of those expenses (if any) which is excluded in accordance with section 487.
References at Steps 3 to 6 below to the allowable expenses are references to the expenses as so reduced.
Step 2
Identify the type or types of income which make up the trust rate income.
The possible types are dividend income, savings income and other income.
Step 3
If there is dividend income within subsection (2)—
(a) gross up by reference to the dividend ordinary rate so much of the allowable expenses as is necessary to give a result equal to the amount of that income, or
(b) if there are not enough allowable expenses to give that result, gross them all up by reference to that rate.
The grossed up amount is set against the dividend income within subsection (2).
Step 4
If there are remaining expenses and there is dividend income not within subsection (2)—
(a) gross up by reference to the dividend ordinary rate so much of the remaining expenses as is necessary to give a result equal to the amount of that income, or
(b) if there are not enough remaining expenses to give that result, gross them all up by reference to that rate.
The grossed up amount is set against the dividend income not within subsection (2).
For the purposes of this step “the remaining expenses” are the allowable expenses so far as they have not been grossed up at Step 3.
Step 5
If there are remaining expenses and there is savings income—
(a) gross up by reference to the basic rate so much of the remaining expenses as is necessary to give a result equal to the amount of that income, or

(b) if there are not enough remaining expenses to give that result, gross them all up by reference to that rate.
The grossed up amount is set against the savings income.
For the purposes of this step “the remaining expenses” are the allowable expenses so far as they have not been grossed up at Step 3 or 4.
Step 6
If there are remaining expenses and there is other income—
(a) gross up by reference to the basic rate so much of the remaining expenses as is necessary to give a result equal to the amount of that income, or
(b) if there are not enough remaining expenses to give that result, gross them all up by reference to that rate.
The grossed up amount is set against the other income.
For the purposes of this step “the remaining expenses” are the allowable expenses so far as they have not been grossed up at Step 3, 4 or 5.
(2) Income is within this subsection so far as it is—
(a) chargeable under Chapter 3 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (dividends etc from UK resident companies),
(b) chargeable under Chapter 5 of that Part (stock dividends from UK resident companies), or
(c) chargeable under Chapter 6 of that Part (release of loan to participator in close company).
(3) If income tax would, apart from Chapter 3, be charged on any income mentioned at Steps 3 to 6 at a rate different to the rate mentioned at the step in question, for the purpose of setting any expenses against that income, gross up the expenses by reference to the different rate instead of at the rate mentioned.

487 Non-UK resident trustees
(1) This section applies if a proportion of the income arising to the trustees in the current tax year is untaxed income.
(2) A proportion of the allowable expenses is excluded for the purposes of section 486.
(3) That proportion is the same as the proportion of the income arising to the trustees which is untaxed income.
(4) For the purposes of this section the income arising to the trustees is untaxed income so far as they are not liable to income tax on it wholly or partly because they—
(a) have been non-UK resident, or
(b) have been treated as resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom under double taxation arrangements.

Chapter 8 Trustees' expenses and beneficiary's income

499 Application of Chapter
(1) This Chapter applies if—
(a) in a tax year (“the current tax year”) income arises to the trustees of a settlement, and
(b) before being distributed, some or all of that income is income of another person (“the beneficiary”).
(2) It contains provision about how the beneficiary's income mentioned in subsection (1)(b) (“the beneficiary's income”) can be reduced for income tax purposes by reference to expenses of the trustees.

500 Restrictions on use of trustees' expenses to reduce the beneficiary's income
(1) Expenses of the trustees can be used to reduce the beneficiary's income for income tax purposes only so far as—
(a) the expenses are incurred by the trustees in the current tax year or in an earlier tax year, and
(b) as a result of the expenses being chargeable to income as mentioned in subsection (2) or (3), the beneficiary's entitlement to the beneficiary's income is reduced by reference to the expenses.
(2) Expenses are chargeable to income for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) if they are chargeable to income by the trustees under a term of the settlement (subject to any overriding law which prevents the expenses from being so chargeable).
(3) Expenses are also chargeable to income for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) if they—
(a) are not chargeable to income by the trustees under a term of the settlement, but
(b) are chargeable to income by the trustees in accordance with any law (subject to any overriding term of the settlement which prevents the expenses from being so chargeable).
(4) Expenses cannot be used to reduce the beneficiary's income for income tax purposes so far as they are expenses which have fallen, or may fall, to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the trustees' liability to income tax for any tax year.

501 Non-UK resident beneficiaries
(1) This section applies if—
(a) expenses of the trustees are to be used to reduce the beneficiary's income for income tax purposes, and
(b) a proportion of the beneficiary's income is untaxed income (see section 502).

(5) “Foreign tax” means any tax which—
(a) is of a similar character to income tax, and
(b) is imposed by the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom.

502 Meaning of “untaxed income” in section 501
(1) For the purposes of section 501 the beneficiary's income is untaxed income so far as the beneficiary is not liable to income tax on it wholly or partly because the beneficiary—
(a) has been non-UK resident, or
(b) has been treated as resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom under double taxation arrangements.
(2) If the income tax charged on the beneficiary for the beneficiary's income is limited under Chapter 1 of Part 14 (limits on liability to income tax of non-UK residents), the untaxed income includes so much of the beneficiary's income which is disregarded income (within the meaning of that Chapter) except so far as the disregarded income is within subsection (3).

third, reduce savings income (if any), and
fourth, reduce other income (if any).
(3) Income is within this subsection so far as it is—
(a) chargeable under Chapter 3 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (dividends etc from UK resident companies),
(b) chargeable under Chapter 5 of that Part (stock dividends from UK resident companies), or
(c) chargeable under Chapter 6 of that Part (release of loan to participator in close company).
(4) If the trustees are liable for income tax charged on a component of the beneficiary's income at a particular rate, then any reduction of that component is to be made in accordance with the steps set out in subsection (5).
(5) Here are the steps.
Step 1
Deduct from the component the amount of income tax charged on it at the particular rate for which the trustees are liable.
Step 2
Take the result from Step 1 and reduce it (but not below nil) by the amount of the trustees' expenses so far as they have not already been used to reduce other components of the beneficiary's income.
Step 3
Take the result from Step 2 and gross it up by reference to the particular rate.
The result is the reduced amount of the component of the beneficiary's income.

(8) In this section “relevant time” means any time in the period beginning when the activities of the project begin and ending 6 months after the disposal mentioned in subsection (1).
(9) In this section “the project” means all activities carried out for any of the following purposes—

(b) A is related to B (see section 517U).

517C Disposals of land: profits treated as trading profits
(1) The profit or gain is to be treated for income tax purposes as profits of a trade carried on by the chargeable person.
(2) If the chargeable person is non-UK resident, that trade is the person's trade of dealing in or developing UK land (as defined in section 6B of ITTOIA 2005).
(3) But subsection (1) does not apply to a profit or gain so far as it would (apart from this section) be brought into account as income in calculating profits (of any person)—
(a) for income tax purposes, or
(b) for corporation tax purposes.
(4) The profits are treated as arising in the tax year in which the profit or gain is realised.
(5) This section applies in relation to gains which are capital in nature as it applies in relation to other gains.

517D Disposals of property deriving its value from land in the United Kingdom
(1) Section 517E(1) applies (subject to subsection (3) of that section) if—

(2) If the chargeable person is non-UK resident, that trade is the chargeable person's trade of dealing in or developing UK land.
(3) But subsection (1) does not apply to an amount so far as it would (apart from this section) be brought into account as income in calculating profits (of any person)—
(a) for income tax purposes, or
(b) for corporation tax purposes.
(4) The profits are treated as arising in the tax year in which the profit or gain is realised.
(5) In this section the “relevant amount” means so much (if any) of the profit or gain mentioned in section 517D(1) as is attributable, on a just and reasonable apportionment, to the relevant UK assets.
(6) In this section “the relevant UK assets” means any land in the United Kingdom from which the property mentioned in section 517D(1) derives any of its value (at the time of the disposal mentioned in that subsection).
(7) This section applies in relation to gains which are capital in nature as it applies in relation to other gains.

517F Profits and losses
(1) Sections 517B to 517E have effect as if they included provision about losses corresponding to the provision they make about profits and gains.
(2) Accordingly, in the following sections of this Part references to a “profit or gain” include a loss.

Person to whom profits attributed

517G The chargeable person
(1) For the purposes of sections 517C and 517E the general rule is that the “chargeable person” is the person (“P”) that realises the profit or gain (as mentioned in section 517B(1) or 517D(1)).
(2) The general rule in subsection (1) is subject to the special rules in subsections (4) to (6).
(3) But those special rules do not apply in relation to a profit or gain to which section 517H(3) (fragmented activities) applies.
(4) If all or any part of the profit or gain accruing to P is derived from value provided directly or indirectly by another person (“B”), B is the “chargeable person”.
(5) Subsection (4) applies whether or not the value is put at the disposal of P.
(6) If all or any part of the profit or gain accruing to P is derived from an opportunity of realising a profit or gain provided directly or indirectly by another person (“D”), D is “the chargeable person” (unless the case falls within subsection (4)).
(7) For the meaning of “another person” see section 517P.

Anti-fragmentation

517H Fragmented activities

(a) the development of the land,
(b) any other activities directed towards realising a profit or gain from the disposal of the land.
(3) For the purposes of this Part, the profit or gain (if any) realised by P from the disposal is to be taken to be what that profit or gain would be if R were not a distinct person from P (and, accordingly, as if everything done by or in relation to R had been done by or in relation to P).
(4) Subsection (5) applies to any amount which is paid (directly or indirectly) by R to P for the purposes of meeting or reimbursing the cost of income tax which P is liable to pay as a result of the application of subsection (3) in relation to R and P.
(5) The amount—
(a) is not to be taken into account in calculating profits or losses of either R or P for the purposes of income tax or corporation tax, and
(b) is not for any purpose of the Corporation Tax Acts to be regarded as a distribution.
(6) In subsection (1) “relevant time” means any time in the period beginning when the activities of the project begin and ending 6 months after the disposal.
(7) For the purposes of this section any contribution made by P to activities falling within subsection (2) is a “relevant contribution” unless the profit made or to be made by P in respect of the contribution is insignificant having regard to the size of the project.
(8) In this section “contribution” means any kind of contribution, including, for example—
(a) the provision of professional or other services, or
(b) a financial contribution (including the assumption of a risk).

For the purposes of this Part, the profit or gain (if any) from a disposal of any property is to be calculated according to the principles applicable for calculating the profits of a trade under Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005, subject to any modifications that may be appropriate (and for this purpose the same rules are to apply in calculating losses from a disposal as apply in calculating profits).

517J Apportionments
Any apportionment (whether of expenditure, consideration or any other amount) that is required to be made for the purposes of this Part is to be made on a just and reasonable basis.

Arrangements for avoiding tax

Chapter 2 Finance leases with return in capital form

Introduction

614B Arrangements to which this Chapter applies
(1) This Chapter applies to arrangements involving the lease of an asset that meet conditions A and B.
(2) Condition A is that in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice the arrangements fall to be treated as a finance lease or loan.
(3) Condition B is that the effect of the arrangements is that some or all of the return on investment in respect of the finance lease or loan—
(a) is or may be in the form of a sum that is not rent, and
(b) would not, apart from this Part and Part 21 of CTA 2010, be wholly brought into account for tax purposes as rent from the lease of the asset.
(4) It does not matter—
(a) when the arrangements are or have been entered into, or
(b) whether they are or have been entered into by companies or other persons.

614BA Purposes of this Chapter
(1) This section sets out the main purposes of this Chapter where there are any arrangements to which this Chapter applies.
(2) The first main purpose is to charge any person entitled to the lessor's interest under the lease of the asset to income tax on amounts of income determined as mentioned in subsections (3) and (4).
(3) The amounts referred to in subsection (2) are determined by reference to the amounts that fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as the income return on and after 26 November 1996 on investment in respect of the finance lease or loan.
(4) The amounts referred to in subsection (2) are also determined taking into account the substance of the matter as a whole, including, in particular, the state of affairs—
(a) as between connected persons, or
(b) within a group of companies,
as reflected or falling to be reflected in accounts of any of those persons or in consolidated group accounts.
(5) The second main purpose of this Chapter is, if the sum mentioned in section 614B(3)(a) that is not rent falls due, to recover by reference to that sum the whole or any part of the capital expenditure reliefs.
(6) In subsection (5) “the capital expenditure reliefs” means any reliefs, allowances or deductions that are or have been allowed or made in respect of capital expenditure incurred in respect of the leased asset.

Leases to which this Chapter applies

614BB Application of this Chapter
(1) This Chapter applies if—
(a) a lease of an asset is or has been granted, and
(b) the conditions in section 614BC are or have been met in relation to the lease at some time in a period of account of the current lessor.
(2) But this Chapter does not apply so far as, in relation to the current lessor, the lease falls to be regarded as a long funding lease for the purposes of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances) in accordance with Chapter 6A of that Part (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases) (see section 70G of that Act).
(3) If the conditions in section 614BC have been met at some time in a period of account of the person who was at that time the lessor, they are taken to continue to be met for the purposes of this Chapter unless and until one of the conditions in subsection (4) is met.
(4) The conditions are that—
(a) the asset ceases to be leased under the lease, or
(b) the lessor's interest under the lease is assigned to a person who is not connected with any of the persons specified in subsection (5).
(5) Those persons are—
(a) the assignor,
(b) any person who was the lessor at some time before the assignment, and
(c) any person who at some time after the assignment becomes the lessor pursuant to arrangements made by a person who was the lessor, or was connected with the lessor, at some time before the assignment.
(6) If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income, the reference in subsection (3) to the conditions in section 614BC having been met at that time includes a reference to the conditions in section 902 of CTA 2010 having been so met.
(7) Nothing in subsection (3) prevents this Chapter from applying again in relation to the lease where the lessor's interest is assigned if the conditions for its application are met after the assignment.

614BC The conditions referred to in section 614BB(1)
(1) This section sets out the conditions required by section 614BB(1) to be met for this Chapter to apply (conditions A to E).
(2) Condition A is that at the relevant time—
(a) the leasing arrangements fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a finance lease or a loan, and
(b) subsection (3) or (4) applies.
(3) This subsection applies if the lessor (“L”), or a person connected with L, falls for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as the finance lessor in relation to the finance lease or loan.
(4) This subsection applies if the finance lease or loan falls for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as subsisting for the purposes of consolidated group accounts of a group of companies of which L is a member.
(5) Condition B is that, under the leasing arrangements, there is or may be payable to L, or to a person connected with L, a sum (a “major lump sum”) that is not rent but falls for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice—
(a) as to part, as repayment of some or all of the investment in respect of a finance lease or loan, and
(b) as to part, as a return on investment in respect of a finance lease or loan.
(6) Condition C is that not all of that part of the sum that falls within subsection (5)(b) would, apart from this Chapter, fall to be brought into account for income tax purposes in tax years ending with the relevant tax year as the normal rent from the lease for periods of account of L.
(7) Condition D is that, in relation to L at the relevant time—
(a) the period of account of L in which the relevant time falls, or
(b) an earlier period of account of L during which L was the lessor,
is a period of account for which the accountancy rental earnings in respect of the lease exceed the normal rent for the period.
(8) Condition E is that at the relevant time—
(a) arrangements within section 614BE(1) exist, or
(b) paragraph (a) does not apply and circumstances within section 614BE(3) exist.
(9) Section 614BD supplements this section.

614BD Provisions supplementing section 614BC
(1) In section 614BC—
“the relevant tax year”, in relation to a major lump sum, means—
(a) the tax year which is related to the period of account of the lessor (“L”) in which the major lump sum is or may be payable in accordance with the leasing arrangements, or
(b) if there are two or more such tax years, the latest of them, and
“the relevant time” means the time as at which it must be determined for the purposes of section 614BB(1) or (3) whether the conditions in section 614BC are or, as the case may be, were met.
(2) For the meaning of a tax year being related to a period of account, see section 614DB(4).
(3) Subsection (4) applies for determining the normal rent for a period of account for the purpose of determining whether condition D in section 614BC is met as respects L unless subsection (5) applies.
(4) Rent that falls to be brought into account for income tax purposes as it falls due is treated—
(a) as accruing evenly throughout the period to which, in accordance with the terms of the lease, each payment falling due relates, and
(b) as falling due as it so accrues.
(5) This subsection applies if any such payment as is mentioned in subsection (4)(a) falls due more than 12 months after the time at which any of the rent to which that payment relates is treated as accruing under subsection (4)(a).

614BE The arrangements and circumstances referred to in section 614BC(8)
(1) The arrangements referred to in section 614BC(8)(a) are arrangements under which—
(a) the lessee or a person connected with the lessee may acquire, whether directly or indirectly, the leased asset or an asset representing the leased asset from the lessor or a person connected with the lessor, and
(b) in connection with that acquisition, the lessor or a person connected with the lessor may receive, whether directly or indirectly, a qualifying lump sum from the lessee or a person connected with the lessee.
(2) In this section “qualifying lump sum” means any sum that is not rent but at least part of which would fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a return on investment in respect of a finance lease or loan.
(3) The circumstances referred to in section 614BC(8)(b) are circumstances which make it more likely—
(a) that the events described in subsection (4) will occur, than
(b) that the event described in subsection (5) will occur.
(4) The events mentioned in subsection (3)(a) are—
(a) that the lessee or a person connected with the lessee will acquire, whether directly or indirectly, the leased asset or an asset representing the leased asset from the lessor or a person connected with the lessor, and
(b) that, in connection with that acquisition, the lessor or a person connected with the lessor will receive, whether directly or indirectly, a qualifying lump sum from the lessee or a person connected with the lessee.
(5) The event mentioned in subsection (3)(b) is that, before any such acquisition as is mentioned in subsection (4) takes place, the leased asset or, as the case may be, the asset representing the leased asset, will have been acquired, in a sale on the open market, by an independent third party.
(6) In subsection (5) “independent third party” means a person who—
(a) is not the lessor or the lessee, and
(b) is not connected with either of them.
(7) For the meaning of an asset representing the leased asset, see section 614DD.

Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings

614BF Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings
(1) This section applies if, in the case of any period of account of the current lessor (“L”)—
(a) this Chapter applies in relation to the lease, and
(b) the accountancy rental earnings in respect of the lease for that period of account exceed the normal rent for that period.
(2) For income tax purposes, L is treated as if in that period of account L had been entitled to, and there had arisen to L, rent from the lease of an amount equal to those accountancy rental earnings (instead of the normal rent referred to in subsection (1)(b)).
(3) Such rent from the lease of an asset is treated for income tax purposes—
(a) as if it had accrued at an even rate throughout so much of the period of account as falls within the period for which the asset is leased, and
(b) as if L had become entitled to it as it accrued.

(1) This section and sections 614BH to 614BK provide for reductions of the taxable rent of a current lessor (“L”) under a lease to which this Chapter applies.
(2) In this section and sections 614BH to 614BK “taxable rent”, in relation to a period of account of L, means the amount that would, apart from those sections, be treated for income tax purposes as rent from the lease that arises to L in that period of account for the purpose of determining L's liability to tax for the related tax year or years.
(3) The reductions of taxable rent under sections 614BH to 614BK depend on there being—
(a) a cumulative accountancy rental excess for the period of account of L in question, or
(b) a cumulative normal rental excess for the period of account of L in question.
(4) For the meaning of “cumulative accountancy rental excess” and “cumulative normal rental excess”, see sections 614BH and 614BJ respectively.

614BH Meaning of “accountancy rental excess” and “cumulative accountancy rental excess”
(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, there is an “accountancy rental excess” in relation to the lease for a period of account of the current lessor (“L”) if the taxable rent in relation to the lease for the period is as a result of section 614BF (current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings) an amount equal to the accountancy rental earnings.
(2) The amount of the accountancy rental excess for the period is equal to the difference between the accountancy rental earnings for the period and the normal rent for the period.
(3) But if the taxable rent for the period is reduced under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess), there is only an accountancy rental excess for the period if—
(a) the accountancy rental earnings, reduced by an amount equal to the reduction under that section, exceed
(b) the normal rent.
(4) And in that case the amount of the accountancy rental excess for the period is equal to that excess.
(5) In this Chapter the “cumulative accountancy rental excess”, in relation to the lease and a period of account of L, means so much of the total of the accountancy rental excesses for previous periods of account of L (as increased under section 614BM: recovery of bad debts following reduction under section 614BL) as has not been—
(a) set off under section 614BI (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess) against the taxable rent for any such previous period,
(b) reduced under section 614BL (relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative accountancy rental excess), or
(c) set off under section 37A of TCGA 1992 (consideration on disposal of certain leases) against the consideration for a disposal.

614BI Reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess
(1) This section applies if a period of account of the current lessor (“L”) is one for which—
(a) the normal rent in relation to the lease exceeds the accountancy rental earnings, and
(b) there is a cumulative accountancy rental excess.
(2) The taxable rent for the period of account is reduced by setting against it the cumulative accountancy rental excess (but not so as to reduce that rent below the amount of the accountancy rental earnings).
(3) But see section 614BL(3) and (4) (under which the amount of the cumulative accountancy rental excess which may be set against the taxable rent is limited in some circumstances).

614BJ Meaning of “normal rental excess” and “cumulative normal rental excess”
(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, there is a “normal rental excess” in relation to a lease for any period of account of the current lessor (“L”) throughout which the leasing arrangements fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a finance lease or loan if—
(a) the normal rent for the period, exceeds
(b) the accountancy rental earnings for the period.
(2) The amount of the normal rental excess for that period is equal to that excess.
(3) But if the taxable rent for the period is reduced under section 614BI (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess), there is only a normal rental excess for the period if—
(a) the normal rent, reduced by an amount equal to the reduction under that section, exceeds
(b) the accountancy rental earnings.
(4) And in that case the amount of the normal rental excess for the period is equal to that excess.
(5) In this Chapter “cumulative normal rental excess”, in relation to the lease and a period of account of L, means so much of the total of the normal rental excesses for previous periods of account of L (as increased under section 614BO: recovery of bad debts following reduction under section 614BN) as has not been—
(a) set off under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess) against the taxable rent for any such previous period, or
(b) reduced under section 614BN (relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative normal rental excess).

614BK Reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess
(1) This section applies if a period of account of the current lessor (“L”) is one for which—
(a) the taxable rent in relation to the lease is as a result of section 614BF (current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings) an amount equal to the accountancy rental earnings, and
(b) there is a cumulative normal rental excess.
(2) The taxable rent for the period of account is reduced by setting against it the cumulative normal rental excess (but not so as to reduce that rent below the amount of the normal rent).
(3) But see section 614BN(3) and (4) (under which the amount of the cumulative normal rental excess which may be set against the taxable rent is limited in some circumstances).

Relief for bad debts by reduction of cumulative rental excesses

614BL Relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative accountancy rental excess
(1) This section applies if in relation to the lease for any period of account of the current lessor—
(a) there is a cumulative accountancy rental excess, and
(b) a bad debt deduction falls to be made in respect of rent from the lease.
(2) If for that period—
(a) the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease exceed the normal rent, and
(b) the amount of the bad debt deduction exceeds the amount of the accountancy rental earnings,
the cumulative accountancy rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess of that deduction over those earnings (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
(3) Subsections (4) and (5) apply if for that period the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease do not exceed the normal rent.
(4) The amount of the cumulative accountancy rental excess that may be set against the taxable rent for that period under section 614BI(2) (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative accountancy rental excess) is limited to the amount (if any) by which the normal rent exceeds the bad debt deduction.
(5) If for that period the bad debt deduction exceeds the normal rent, the cumulative accountancy rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of that excess (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
(6) In this section—
“bad debt deduction”, in relation to a period of account of the lessor, means the total of any sums falling within section 35(1)(a), (b) or (c) of ITTOIA 2005 in respect of amounts in respect of rents from the lease of the asset which are deductible as expenses for that period, and
“taxable rent” has the meaning given in section 614BG(2).

(a) the cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account of the current lessor (“L”) has been reduced under section 614BL(2) or (5) because of a bad debt deduction,
(b) in a subsequent period of account of L, an amount (“the relevant credit”) is recovered or credited in respect of the amount which constituted the bad debt deduction, and
(c) there is a cumulative accountancy rental excess for that subsequent period.
(2) The cumulative accountancy rental excess for the subsequent period is increased.
(3) If the relevant credit does not exceed the total of the reductions under section 614BL(2) or (5), the increase is by the relevant credit.
(4) Otherwise, the increase is limited to that total.
(5) In this section “bad debt deduction” has the meaning given in section 614BL(6).

614BN Relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative normal rental excess
(1) This section applies if in relation to the lease for any period of account of the current lessor—
(a) there is a cumulative normal rental excess, and
(b) a bad debt deduction falls to be made in respect of rent from the lease.
(2) If for that period—
(a) the accountancy rental earnings in the case of the lease do not exceed the normal rent, and
(b) the amount of the bad debt deduction exceeds the amount of that rent,
the cumulative normal rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess of that deduction over that rent (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
(3) Subsections (4) and (5) apply if for that period the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease exceed the normal rent.
(4) The amount of the cumulative normal rental excess that may be set against the taxable rent for that period under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess) is limited to the amount (if any) by which the accountancy rental earnings exceed the bad debt deduction.
(5) If for that period the bad debt deduction exceeds the accountancy rental earnings, the cumulative normal rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil).
(6) In this section, in relation to a period of account of the lessor—
“bad debt deduction” has the meaning given in section 614BL(6), and

Effect of disposals

614BP Effect of disposals of leases: general
(1) This section applies if the current lessor (“L”) or a person connected with L disposes of—
(a) the lessor's interest under the lease,
(b) the leased asset, or
(c) an asset representing the leased asset (see section 614DD).
(2) This Part has effect as if immediately before the disposal a period of account of L ended and another began.
(3) If—
(a) two or more disposals within subsection (1) are made at the same time, and
(b) there is any cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account of L in which the disposal occurs,
subsection (2) has effect in relation to those disposals as if they together constituted a single disposal.
(4) In this section “dispose” and “disposal” are to be read in accordance with TCGA 1992.
(5) In cases where there is any cumulative accountancy rental excess for L's period of account in which the disposal occurs, section 37A of that Act (consideration on disposal of certain leases) makes provision for the purposes of that Act about the reduction of the consideration for the disposal by that excess in determining if a gain has accrued.

(b) the assignment is a disposal on which, as a result of any of the no gain/no loss provisions, neither a gain nor a loss accrues.
(2) This Part has effect as if—
(a) a period of account of L (“L's period”) ended with the assignment, and
(b) a period of account of the assignee (“A's period”) began with the assignment.
(3) Any cumulative accountancy rental excess for L's period becomes the cumulative accountancy rental excess for A's period.
(4) Any cumulative normal rental excess for L's period becomes the cumulative normal rental excess for A's period.
(5) If the assignee is a company subject to the charge to corporation tax on income, so far as this section relates to the assignee, it applies for the purposes of Part 21 of CTA 2010 as it would otherwise apply for the purposes of this Part.
(6) In this section “the no gain/no loss provisions” has the same meaning as in TCGA 1992 (see section 288(3A) of that Act).

Capital allowances: claw-back of major lump sum

614BR Effect of capital allowances: introduction
(1) This section and sections 614BS to 614BW apply if an occasion occurs on which a major lump sum falls to be paid in relation to the lease of the asset.
(2) In those sections the occasion is called “the relevant occasion”.

614BS Cases where expenditure taken into account under Part 2, 5 or 8 of CAA 2001
(1) This section applies if capital expenditure incurred by the current lessor (“L”) in respect of the leased asset is or has been taken into account for the purposes of any allowance or charge under—
(a) Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances),
(b) Part 5 of that Act (mineral extraction allowances), or
(c) Part 8 of that Act (patent allowances).
(2) The Part of that Act in question (“the relevant Part”) has effect as if the relevant occasion were an event (“the relevant event”) as a result of which a disposal value is to be brought into account of an amount equal to the amount or value of the major lump sum (but subject to any applicable limiting provision).
(3) In this section “limiting provision” means a provision to the effect that the disposal value of the asset in question is not to exceed an amount (“the limit”) described by reference to capital expenditure incurred in respect of the asset.
(4) Subsection (5) applies if—
(a) as a result of subsection (2), a disposal value (“the relevant disposal value”) falls or has fallen to be brought into account by a person in respect of the leased asset for the purposes of the relevant Part, and
(b) a limiting provision has effect in the case of that Part.
(5) The limiting provision has effect (so far as it would not otherwise do so), in relation to the relevant disposal value and any simultaneous or later disposal value, as if—
(a) it did not limit any particular disposal value, but
(b) it limited the total amount of all the disposal values brought into account for the purposes of the relevant Part by L in respect of the leased asset.
(6) In subsection (5) “simultaneous or later disposal value” means any disposal value which falls to be brought into account by L in respect of the leased asset as a result of any event occurring at the same time as, or later than, the relevant event.

614BT Cases where expenditure taken into account under other provisions of CAA 2001
(1) This section applies if any allowance is or has been given in respect of capital expenditure incurred by the current lessor (“L”) in respect of the leased asset under any provision of CAA 2001 other than—

(b) Part 5 of that Act (mineral extraction allowances), or
(c) Part 8 of that Act (patent allowances).
(2) The amount specified in subsection (3) is treated, in relation to L, as if it were a balancing charge to be made on L for the chargeable period in which the relevant occasion falls.
(3) That amount is an amount equal to—
(a) the total of the allowances given as mentioned in subsection (1) (so far as not previously recovered or withdrawn), or
(b) if it is less, the amount or value of the major lump sum.
(4) In this section “chargeable period” has the meaning given by section 6 of CAA 2001.

614BU Capital allowances deductions: waste disposal and cemeteries
(1) This section applies if any deduction is or has been allowed to the current lessor (“L”) in respect of capital expenditure incurred in connection with the leased asset as a result of—

(b) section 170 of that Act (cemeteries and crematoria: deduction for capital expenditure).
(2) L is treated as if trading receipts arose to L from the trade in question on the relevant occasion.
(3) The amount of those receipts is equal to the lesser of—
(a) the amount or value of the major lump sum, and
(b) the deductions previously allowed.

614BV Capital allowances deductions: films and sound recordings
(1) This section applies if—
(a) any relevant deduction has been allowed to the current lessor (“L”) in respect of expenditure incurred in connection with the leased asset, and

(2) In subsection (1) “relevant deduction” means any deduction as a result of—
(a) section 135 of ITTOIA 2005 (allocation of expenditure on master versions of films or sound recordings to periods), or
(b) section 138, 138A, 139 or 140 of that Act (relief for production or acquisition expenditure in respect of films).
(3) L is treated as if receipts of a revenue nature arose to L from the trade or business in question on the relevant occasion.
(4) The amount of those receipts is equal to the excess mentioned in subsection (1)(b).

614BW Contributors to capital expenditure
(1) This section applies if—
(a) section 614BS or 614BT applies in relation to a leased asset,
(b) allowances are or have been made to a person (“the contributor”) as a result of sections 537 to 542 of CAA 2001 (allowances in respect of contributions to capital expenditure), and

(2) Section 614BS or, as the case may be, section 614BT has effect in relation to the contributor and those allowances as it has effect in relation to the current lessor and allowances in respect of capital expenditure incurred by the current lessor in respect of the leased asset.

Schemes to which this Chapter does not at first apply

614BX Pre-26 November 1996 schemes where this Chapter does not at first apply
(1) This section applies if—
(a) the lease of an asset forms part of a pre-26 November 1996 scheme, but
(b) the conditions in section 614BC become met after 26 November 1996.
(2) For the meaning of “forming part of a pre-26 November 1996 scheme”, see section 614D.
(3) This Part has effect as if—
(a) a period of account (“period 1”) of the current lessor (“L”) ended immediately before the time at which those conditions become met,
(b) another period of account of L (“period 2”) began immediately before that time and ended immediately after that time, and
(c) another period of account of L began immediately after that time.
(4) If, on the continuous application assumption (see subsection (9)), there would be an amount of cumulative accountancy rental excess for period 2, that amount is the cumulative accountancy rental excess for period 2.
(5) If subsection (4) applies, L is treated for income tax purposes as if in period 1 L had been entitled to, and there had arisen to L, rent from the lease of an amount equal to that cumulative accountancy rental excess.
(6) The amount of rent mentioned in subsection (5)—
(a) is in addition to any other rent from the lease for period 1, and
(b) is left out of account for the purposes of section 614BF (current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings).
(7) Rent within subsection (5) is treated for income tax purposes as if it had accrued and L had become entitled to it immediately before the end of period 1.
(8) If, on the continuous application assumption, there would be an amount of cumulative normal rental excess for period 2, that amount is the cumulative normal rental excess for period 2.
(9) In this section “the continuous application assumption” means the assumption that this Chapter (other than this section) had applied in the case of the lease at all times on or after 26 November 1996.
(10) If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income, the reference in subsection (9) to this Chapter (other than this section) includes a reference to Chapter 2 of Part 21 of CTA 2010 (other than section 923 of that Act).

(b) immediately before those conditions become met, Chapter 3 applied.
(2) Subsection (3) applies for the purpose of determining—
(a) the cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account ending after those conditions become met, or
(b) the cumulative normal rental excess for any such period.
(3) This Part has effect as if this Chapter had applied in relation to the lease at any time when Chapter 3 applied in relation to it.
(4) If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income—
(a) the reference in subsection (1)(a) to the conditions in section 614BC becoming met at that time includes a reference to the conditions in section 902 of CTA 2010 becoming so met,
(b) the reference in subsection (1)(b) to Chapter 3 applying immediately before that time includes a reference to Chapter 3 of Part 21 of that Act so applying, and
(c) the reference in subsection (3) to Chapter 3 applying at that time includes a reference to Chapter 3 of that Part so applying.

Chapter 3 Other finance leases

Introduction

614C Introduction to Chapter
(1) This Chapter applies to arrangements involving the lease of an asset that—
(a) fall to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as a finance lease or loan, but
(b) are not arrangements to which Chapter 2 applies.
(2) It does not matter whether the arrangements are or have been entered into by companies or other persons.

614CA Purpose of this Chapter
(1) The main purpose of this Chapter where there are arrangements to which this Chapter applies is to charge a person entitled to the lessor's interest under the lease of the asset to income tax on amounts of income determined as mentioned in subsection (2).
(2) The amounts referred to in subsection (1) are determined by reference to the amounts that fall for accounting purposes to be treated, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, as the income return on and after 26 November 1996 on investment in respect of the finance lease or loan.
(3) The amounts referred to in subsection (1) are also determined taking into account the substance of the matter as a whole, including, in particular, the state of affairs—
(a) as between connected persons, or
(b) within a group of companies,
as reflected or falling to be reflected in accounts of any of those persons or in consolidated group accounts.

Leases to which this Chapter applies

614CB Leases to which this Chapter applies
(1) This Chapter applies if—
(a) a lease of an asset is or has been granted on or after 26 November 1996,
(b) the lease forms part of a post-25 November 1996 scheme,
(c) condition A in section 614BC is or has been met at some time on or after 26 November 1996 in relation to the lease in a period of account of the current lessor (“L”), and
(d) Chapter 2 does not apply in relation to the lease because of the other conditions in that section not all being, or having been, met as mentioned in section 614BB.
(2) For the meaning of “forming part of a post-25 November 1996 scheme”, see section 614D.
(3) This Chapter does not apply so far as, in relation to L, the lease falls to be regarded as a long funding lease for the purposes of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (plant and machinery allowances) in accordance with Chapter 6A of that Part (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases) (see section 70G of that Act).
(4) If condition A in section 614BC has been met at any time on or after 26 November 1996 in a period of account of the person who was at that time the lessor, it is taken to continue to be met unless and until one of the conditions in subsection (5) is met.
(5) The conditions are that—
(a) the asset ceases to be leased under the lease, or
(b) the lessor's interest under the lease is assigned to a person who is not connected with any of the persons specified in subsection (6).
(6) Those persons are—
(a) the assignor,
(b) any person who was the lessor at some time before the assignment, and
(c) any person who at some time after the assignment becomes the lessor pursuant to arrangements made by a person who was the lessor, or was connected with the lessor, at some time before the assignment.
(7) If at any time the person who was the lessor at that time was a person within the charge to corporation tax on income—
(a) the reference in subsection (4) to condition A in section 614BC having been met at that time includes a reference to condition A in section 902 of CTA 2010 having been so met, and
(b) the reference in subsection (1)(d) to the other conditions in section 614BC not having been met as mentioned in section 614BB includes a reference to the other conditions in section 902 of that Act not having been met as mentioned in section 901 of that Act.
(8) Nothing in subsection (4) prevents this Chapter from applying again in relation to the lease where the lessor's interest is assigned if the conditions for its application are met after the assignment.

Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings

614CC Current lessor taxed by reference to accountancy rental earnings
(1) This section applies if, in the case of any period of account of the current lessor (“L”)—
(a) this Chapter applies in relation to the lease, and
(b) the accountancy rental earnings in respect of the lease for that period of account exceed the normal rent for that period.
(2) For income tax purposes, L is treated as if in that period of account L had been entitled to, and there had arisen to L, rent from the lease of an amount equal to those accountancy rental earnings (instead of the normal rent referred to in subsection (1)(b)).
(3) Such rent from the lease of an asset is treated for income tax purposes—
(a) as if it had accrued at an even rate throughout so much of the period of account as falls within the period for which the asset is leased, and
(b) as if L had become entitled to it as it accrued.

Application of provisions of Chapter 2 for purposes of this Chapter

(b) the total amount (“B”) of the payments treated under this Chapter as made by the person in that period in respect of such transfers.

(1) In the case of a transfer of securities with accrued interest, for the purposes of this Chapter a payment is treated as made by the transferee to the transferor in the interest period in which the settlement day falls.
(2) The amount of that payment depends on whether the transfer is under an arrangement by which the transferee accounts to the transferor separately—
(a) for the consideration for the securities, and
(b) for gross interest accruing to the settlement day.
(3) If the transfer is under such an arrangement, the amount of the payment is the amount of gross interest which the transferee accounts for.
(4) If—
(a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
(b) the settlement day is itself an interest payment day for the securities,
the amount of the payment is the amount of interest payable on the securities on that day.
(5) If—
(a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
(b) the settlement day is not an interest payment day for the securities,
the amount of the payment is an amount equal to—

(a) in subsection (1) the words “to the transferor” were omitted, and
(b) subsections (2), (3), (4)(a) and (5)(a) were omitted.
(8) In a case where no one is treated as the transferee (see sections 621(2) and (3) and 648(2)), this section has effect as if—

(1) In the case of a transfer of securities without accrued interest, for the purposes of this Chapter a payment is treated as made by the transferor to the transferee in the interest period in which the settlement day falls.
(2) The amount of that payment depends on whether the transfer is under an arrangement by which the transferor accounts to the transferee for gross interest accruing from the settlement day to the next interest payment day.
(3) If the transfer is under such an arrangement, the amount of the payment is the amount of gross interest which the transferor accounts for.
(4) If—
(a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
(b) the settlement day is itself an interest payment day for the securities,
the amount of the payment is nil.
(5) If—
(a) the transfer is not under such an arrangement, and
(b) the settlement day is not an interest payment day for the securities,
the amount of the payment is an amount equal to—
I×AB
where—
I is the interest payable on the securities on the first interest payment day after the settlement day (“the payment day”),
A is the number of days in the period beginning with the day after the settlement day and ending with the payment day, and
B is the number of days in the period beginning with the first day on which that interest accrues and ending with the payment day.
(6) For the purposes of subsection (5), the first day on which that interest accrues is taken to be—
(a) the day after the last interest payment day before the settlement day, or
(b) if there is no interest payment day before the settlement day, the first day of the first interest period of the securities.

Special rules about some calculations

659 Transfers with or without accrued interest: interest in default
(1) This section applies if—
(a) the amount of the payments treated as made on a transfer of securities is to be determined under section 632(4) or (5), 633(5) or 662(4) (cases where interest is not accounted for separately),
(b) there has been a failure to pay interest due on the securities, and
(c) as a result of the failure, on the interest payment day which is or follows the settlement day the value of the right to receive the interest payable on the securities is less than the interest payable.
(2) The calculation under section 632(4) or (5), 633(5) or 662(4) is to be made by reference to that value instead of the interest.

660 Transfers with unrealised interest: interest in default
(1) This section applies if—
(a) securities are transferred with unrealised interest,
(b) there has been a failure to pay interest due on the securities transferred, and
(c) as a result of the failure, on the day of the transfer the value of the right to receive the unrealised interest (“the unrealised interest value”) is less than the unrealised interest.
(2) The amount of the payment treated as made to the transferor under section 634(2) is taken to be the unrealised interest value instead of the amount of the unrealised interest.
(3) The amount of accrued income profits under section 631(1) is taken to be the unrealised interest value instead of the amount of the unrealised interest.
(4) Subsections (2) and (3) are subject to section 661 (successive transfers with unrealised interest in default).
(5) For the purposes of this section and section 661, a person is treated as transferring securities of a particular kind which the person acquired later before securities of that kind acquired earlier.
(6) See also section 681 (exemption for unrealised interest received by transferee after transfer).

661 Successive transfers with unrealised interest in default
(1) The amount taken as the unrealised interest value for the purposes of section 660(2) or (3) is reduced if the person (“T”) who makes the transfer referred to in section 660(1) also acquired the securities with the right to receive unrealised interest.
(2) The amount of the reduction depends on whether subsection (3) applies.
(3) This subsection applies if—
(a) T has received, as transferee, some or all of that unrealised interest, and
(b) T is liable for income tax on it for the tax year in which it was received.
(4) If subsection (3) applies, the reduction is equal to the value on the day of the transfer to T of the right to receive the unrealised interest (“the earlier value”) less the total so received.
(5) If subsection (3) does not apply, the reduction is equal to the earlier value.
(6) But if the reduction under subsection (4) or (5) exceeds the amount mentioned in subsection (1), that amount is treated as reduced to nil.

662 New securities issued with extra return: special rules about payments
(1) In the case of a transfer treated as made under section 649 (new securities issued with extra return), the amount of the payment treated as made under section 632(1) (payment on transfer with accrued interest) is not determined under section 632(2) to (5).
(2) Instead, that amount depends on whether under the issue arrangements the person to whom the new securities are issued accounts to the issuer separately—
(a) for the extra return, and
(b) for the rest of the issue price.
(3) If the person does account for them separately, the amount of the payment is the amount of the extra return separately accounted for.
(4) If the person does not account for them separately, the amount of the payment is an amount equal to—
I×AB
where—
I is the interest payable on the new securities on the first interest payment day after the new issue day (“the payment day”),
A is the number of days in the relevant period, and
B is the number of days in the period beginning with the first day of the relevant period and ending with the payment day.
(5) Subsection (4) is subject to section 659 (transfers with or without accrued interest: interest in default).
(6) In this section “the extra return”, “the new issue day”, “new securities” and “the relevant period” have the same meaning as in section 649.

663 Transfers without accrued interest to makers of manufactured payments
(1) This section applies if—
(a) the manufactured payments conditions are met (see section 647(2)), and
(b) the nominal value of the securities subject to the seller's contract is less than that of the securities transferred to the seller.
(2) The amount of the payment treated as made to the seller under section 633 on the transfer of the securities to the seller is reduced.
(3) The reduction is by so much of that amount as is attributable to securities (“the matched securities”) of a nominal value equal to that of the securities subject to the seller's contract.
(4) If there is more than one transfer of securities to the seller, those transferred to the seller earlier are treated as the matched securities before those transferred later.
(5) In this section “the seller” and “the seller's contract” have the same meaning as in section 647.
(6) For cases where subsection (1)(b) does not apply, see section 647(3) (under which the seller is treated as an excluded transferee).

664 Foreign currency securities: sterling equivalent of payments on transfers
(1) The sterling equivalent of the amount of the payment treated as made on a transfer of securities is determined in accordance with this section if interest on the securities is payable in a currency other than sterling (“a foreign currency”).
(2) If the payment is determined under section 632(3), 633(3) or 662(3) (transfers under an arrangement by which interest is accounted for separately), the amount of the payment depends on whether the sterling equivalent of the interest separately accounted for is shown in an agreement for transfer.
(3) If the sterling equivalent is so shown, the amount of the payment is taken to be that sterling equivalent.
(4) If the sterling equivalent is not so shown, the amount is taken to be the sterling equivalent on the settlement day of the interest separately accounted for.
(5) If the amount of the payment treated as made is determined under any other provision (except section 660 (transfers with unrealised interest: interest in default)), the amount is taken to be its sterling equivalent on the settlement day.
(6) For the purposes of this section, the sterling equivalent of an amount or value in a foreign currency is to be calculated by reference to the London closing rate of exchange for the day concerned.

665 Foreign currency securities: unrealised interest payable in foreign currency
(1) This section applies if unrealised interest is payable in a currency other than sterling (“a foreign currency”).

727A Transfers by closely-held companies
(1) The charge under section 727 also applies for the purpose of preventing the avoiding of a liability to taxation by means of a relevant transfer carried out by a closely-held company in which an individual has a qualifying interest.
(2) But the charge only applies in those circumstances if—
(a) the individual is involved in the company, and
(b) the avoidance condition is met.
(3) An individual has a qualifying interest in a closely-held company if the individual, or a nominee of the individual, is a participator in—
(a) the closely-held company, or
(b) the first closely-held company in a chain of two or more closely-held companies where each company in the chain is a participator in the next company in the chain, of which one such company is the closely-held company that carried out the relevant transfer.
(4) For the purposes of this section, an individual with a qualifying interest in a company is to be treated as being involved in the company unless the individual satisfies an officer of Revenue and Customs that neither the individual nor (in a case where the individual is not the relevant participator) the relevant participator has any direct or indirect involvement in the decision making of the company.
(5) The avoidance condition is met if—
(a) the relevant participator did not object to the making of the relevant transfer, and
(b) it is reasonable to draw the conclusion, from all the circumstances of the case, that the relevant participator was aware, or ought reasonably to have been aware—
(i) of the transfer, and
(ii) that one of the direct or indirect consequences of the transfer is the avoidance of a liability to taxation.
(6) For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5) the “relevant participator” means—
(a) in a case where the individual’s qualifying interest arises as a result of a nominee of the individual being a participator in a company, the nominee, or
(b) otherwise, the individual.
(7) Any arrangements to secure that a person has no direct or indirect involvement in the decision making of a company are to be disregarded if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to secure that the condition in subsection (2)(a) is not met.
(8) Any arrangements that would result in the avoidance condition not being met are to be disregarded if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to secure that the avoidance condition is not met.
(9) In this section—
“arrangements” include any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable);
“taxation” has the meaning it has in section 737.

733 Income charged under section 731
(1) To find the amount (if any) of the income treated as arising under section 732(2) for any tax year in respect of benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) take the following steps.
Step 1
Identify the amount or value of such benefits received by the individual in the tax year and in any earlier tax years in which section 732 has applied.
The sum of those amounts and values is “the total benefits”.
Step 2
Deduct from the total benefits the total amount of income treated as arising to the individual under section 732(2) for earlier tax years as a result of the relevant transfer or associated operations.
The result is “the total untaxed benefits” ....
Step 3
Identify the amount of any income which—
(a) arises in the tax year to a person abroad, and
(b) as a result of the relevant transfer or associated operations can be used directly or indirectly for providing a benefit for the individual.
That amount is “the relevant income of the tax year” in relation to the individual and the tax year.
Step 4
Add together the relevant income of the tax year and the relevant income of earlier tax years in relation to the individual (identified as mentioned in Step 3).
The sum of those amounts is “total relevant income”.
Step 5
Deduct from total relevant income—
(a) the amount deducted at Step 2, and
(b) any other amount which may not be taken into account because of section 743(1) and (2) (no duplication of charges).
The result is “the available relevant income”.
Step 6
Compare the total untaxed benefits and the available relevant income.
The amount of the income treated as arising under section 732(2) for any tax year is the total untaxed benefits unless the available relevant income is lower.
If the available relevant income is lower, it is the amount of income treated as so arising.

(2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 734 (reduction in amount charged: previous capital gains tax charge).
(2A) For the purposes of subsection (1), the amount deducted at Step 2 does not include the amount of any income on which tax was not charged under section 731 by virtue of—
(a) section 735AD(2) (transferor not taxable under benefits charge except where benefit matched to protected foreign-source income etc), or
(b) section 731(1A) (equivalent provision for tax years 2024-25 and earlier).

(a) income is treated as arising to an individual under section 732(2), and
(b) the income is identified as qualifying foreign income on a foreign income claim,
the income is treated for later tax years as not having been charged to income tax under section 731.
(2C) It follows from subsection (2B) that—
(a) in the application of subsection (1) to the individual for subsequent tax years, the amount of the income will be deducted at Step 2 and at paragraph (a) of Step 5, but
(b) in the application of subsection (1) to any other individual for subsequent tax years, the amount of the income will not be deducted at paragraph (b) of Step 5.
(2D) See paragraph 11 of Schedule 10 to FA 2025 (temporary repatriation facility) for special provision about income that is treated as arising under section 732 but that is exempt from income tax under that Schedule.
(3) See also section 740(5) to (7) (which makes provision about relevant income and benefits where relevant transactions include both transactions before 5 December 2005 and transactions after 4 December 2005 and exemptions under this Chapter cease to apply).

(1) For the purposes of section 735—
(a) place the benefits mentioned in Step 1 in the order in which they were received by the individual (starting with the earliest benefit received),
(b) deduct from those benefits any benefit so far as—
(i) chargeable gains (or offshore income gains) are treated as mentioned in section 734(1)(d) as accruing by reference to the benefit,
(ii) income is treated as mentioned in section 735AG(1)(b) as arising by reference to the benefit under section 643A, 643J or 643L of ITTOIA 2005 (settlements: benefits charge), or
(iii) income is treated as arising by reference to the benefit under section 732(2) and that income is identified in a foreign income claim,

(c) place the income mentioned in Step 3 for the tax years mentioned in Step 4 (“the relevant income”) in the order determined under subsection (3),
(d) deduct from that income any income that may not be taken into account because of section 743(1) or (2) (no duplication of charges),
(e) place the income treated under section 732(2) as arising to the individual in respect of the benefits in the order in which it is treated as arising (starting with the earliest income treated as having arisen), and
(f) treat the income mentioned in paragraph (e) as related to—
(i) the benefits, and
(ii) the relevant income,
by matching that income with the benefits and the relevant income (in the orders mentioned in paragraphs (a), (c) and (e)).
(2) In subsection (1) references to a step are to a step in section 733(1).
(3) The order referred to in subsection (1)(c) is arrived at by taking the following steps.
Step 1
Find the relevant income for the earliest tax year (of the tax years referred to in subsection (1)(c)).
Step 2
Place so much of that income as is not foreign in the order in which it arose (starting with the earliest income to arise).
Step 3
After that, place so much of that income as is foreign in the order in which it arose (starting with the earliest income to arise).
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 to 3.
For this purpose, read references to the relevant income for the earliest tax year as references to the relevant income for the first tax year after the last tax year in relation to which those Steps have been undertaken.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3) relevant income is “foreign” where it would be relevant foreign income if it were the individual's.
(5) For those purposes treat income for a period as arising immediately before the end of the period.
(6) Subsection (1)(d) does not apply if the income may not be taken into account because a person has been charged to income tax under section 731 by reason of the income.

Transitional provision about protected foreign-source income and transitionally protected income

735AA Settlements to which following sections apply
(1) Sections 735AB to 735C apply if—
(a) a relevant transfer occurred before 6 April 2025,
(b) the person abroad was—
(i) the trustees of a settlement, or
(ii) a company in which the trustees of a settlement were participators or indirect participators, and
(c) protected foreign-source income or transitionally protected income arose in relation to the transfer.
(2) In sections 735AB to 735C—
“the relevant transfer” means the transfer referred to in subsection (1)(a);
“the settlement” means the settlement referred to in subsection (1)(b)(i) or (ii) (as the case may be);
“the settlor” means the settlor of that settlement.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b)(ii), the trustees of a settlement are “indirect participators” in a company if they are participators in the first in a chain of two or more companies where the last company in the chain is the person abroad and where each company in the chain (except the last) is a participator in the next company in the chain.

735AB “Protected foreign-source income” and “transitionally protected income”
(1) For the purposes of sections 735AA to 735AF—
“protected foreign-source income”, in relation to the relevant transfer, means income of the person abroad that by reference to the transfer—
(a) would have been treated as arising to the settlor under section 721 in any of the tax years 2017-18 to 2024-25 had it not been protected foreign-source income within the meaning of section 721A (as that section had effect for that tax year), or
(b) would have been treated as arising to the settlor under section 728 in any of the tax years 2017-18 to 2024-25 had it not been protected foreign-source income within the meaning of section 729A (as that section had effect for that tax year);
“transitionally protected income”, in relation to the relevant transfer, means income of the person abroad that by reference to the transfer—
(a) was treated as arising to the settlor under section 721 or 728 in a tax year earlier than the tax year 2017-18,
(b) was not remitted to the United Kingdom in a tax year earlier than the tax year 2017-18, and
(c) was transitionally protected income within the meaning of section 726(7) or 730(7) throughout the tax years 2017-18 to 2024-25 (as that section had effect for those tax years).
(2) In subsection (1), in paragraph (b) of the definition of “transitionally protected income”, “remitted to the United Kingdom” is to be read in accordance with Chapter A1 of Part 14 (read with section 726 or 730 as the case may be).

735AC Transitionally protected income not to be taxed on remittance
Section 832 of ITTOIA 2005 (relevant foreign income charged on remittance basis) does not apply to transitionally protected income.

735AD Settlor liable for benefits charge despite being transferor
(1) For the purposes of section 732 (benefits charge: deemed income), subsection (1)(d) of that section (benefits charge confined to individuals not liable under section 720 or 727) is to be disregarded where the individual who receives the benefit is the settlor.
(2) But any income treated as arising to the settlor under section 732(2) is not taxed under section 731 unless the income would, assuming that section 735A applied for this purpose by reference to the settlor, be matched under that section with an amount of relevant income that is protected foreign-source income or transitionally protected income in relation to the relevant transfer.

735AE Settlor liable in place of close family member
(1) If—
(a) a benefit is provided to an individual in a given tax year out of assets which are available for the purpose as a result of—
(i) the relevant transfer, or
(ii) one or more associated operations,
(b) the individual is a close member of the settlor’s family at the time when the benefit is provided,
(c) the individual is non-UK resident, or is a qualifying new resident, for the tax year in which the benefit is provided, and
(d) the settlor is UK resident for that tax year,
the benefit is instead treated for the purposes of section 732 and section 735AD(1) as provided to the settlor.
(2) For the purposes of this section, a person is a “close member of the settlor’s family” at any time if the settlor is living at that time and—
(a) the person is the settlor’s spouse or civil partner at that time, or
(b) the person—
(i) is a child of the settlor, or of a person who at that time is the settlor’s spouse or civil partner, and
(ii) at that time has not reached the age of 18.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), two people living together as if they were a married couple or civil partners are treated as if they were spouses or civil partners of each other.
(4) Where any tax for which the settlor is liable as a result of this section is paid, the settlor is entitled to recover the amount of the tax from the individual concerned.
(5) For the purpose of recovering that amount, the settlor is entitled to require an officer of Revenue and Customs to provide the settlor with a certificate specifying—
(a) the tax year in which income was treated as arising to the settlor,
(b) the amount of income treated as arising, and
(c) the amount of tax paid,
and any such certificate is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it.

735AF Onward gifts from non-residents or qualifying new residents
(1) Subsection (2) applies if—
(a) a benefit (“the original benefit”) is provided to an individual (“the original recipient”) out of assets which are available for the purpose as a result of—
(i) the relevant transfer, or
(ii) one or more associated operations,
(b) the original recipient is non-UK resident, or is a qualifying new resident, for the tax year in which they receive the original benefit,
(c) section 735AE (1) (close family member’s benefits attributed to settlor) does not apply to the provision of the original benefit to the original recipient,
(d) at the time when the original benefit is provided—
(i) there are arrangements, or there is an intention, as regards the (direct or indirect) passing on of the whole or part of the original benefit to another person, and
(ii) it is reasonable to expect that, if the whole or part of the original benefit is passed on to another person in accordance with the arrangements or intention, that other person will be UK resident when they receive at least part of what is passed on to them,
(e) the original recipient provides a benefit (“the onward gift”) to another person (“the subsequent recipient”)—
(i) at the time when the original benefit is received by the original recipient, or at any later time in the 3 years beginning with the day containing that time, or
(ii) at any time before the original benefit is received by the original recipient and, it is reasonable to assume, in anticipation of the original benefit’s being provided, and
(f) the onward gift is of or includes—
(i) the whole or part of the original benefit,
(ii) anything that (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) derives from, or represents, the whole or part of the original benefit, or
(iii) any other property, but only if the original benefit is provided with a view to enabling or facilitating, or otherwise in connection with, the property’s being provided to the subsequent recipient.
(2) For the purposes of sections 732, 735AD(1) and 735AE(1), so much of the onward gift as falls within subsection (1)(f) is (so far as would not otherwise be the case) treated as a benefit provided to the subsequent recipient out of assets which are available for the purpose as a result of an associated operation in relation to the relevant transfer.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (1)(e), the circumstances in which the original recipient provides a benefit to the subsequent recipient include circumstances where there is a series of two or more benefits starting with a benefit provided by the original recipient and ending with a benefit provided to the subsequent recipient; and in such a case—
(a) the onward gift is treated for the purposes of subsection (1)(e) as provided when the final benefit in the series is provided, and
(b) the reference to the onward gift in subsection (1)(f) is to be read as a reference to each benefit in the series.
(4) Where the conditions in subsection (1)(e) and (f) are met, it is to be presumed, unless the contrary is shown, that the condition in subsection (1)(d) is also met.
(5) In subsection (1)(d), “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

735AG Deduction allowed for previous settlements charge
(1) This section applies if—
(a) benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) are received in a tax year, and
(b) income is treated under section 643A of ITTOIA 2005 as arising to a person in that or a subsequent tax year by reference (direct or indirect) to the whole or part of any benefits so provided.
(2) For any tax year after one in which such income is so treated, the amount of income treated as arising to the individual under section 732(2) in respect of benefits provided as mentioned in section 732(1)(c) as a result of the transfer or operations in question is calculated as follows.
(3) The amount is calculated under section 733(1) as if the total untaxed benefits were reduced by the amount of that income.
(4) The reference in subsection (1)(b) to income treated as arising under section 643A of ITTOIA 2005 includes, in relation to any of the tax years 2018-19 to 2024-25, a reference to income treated as arising under section 643J or 643L of ITTOIA 2005 (settlements code: old onward gift provisions).
(5) In this section “the total untaxed benefits” has the same meaning as in section 733(1) (see Step 2).

735B Historical liability under section 733A where remittance basis applied

Value of certain benefits

742B Value of certain benefits

(b) making available movable property without any transfer of the property in it (see section 742D), or
(c) making available land for use without transferring the whole interest in it (see section 742E).

742C Value of benefit provided by a payment by way of loan
(1) The value of the benefit provided to a person (P) by a payment by way of loan to P is, for each tax year in which the loan is outstanding, the amount (if any) by which—
(a) the amount of interest that would have been payable in that year on the loan if interest had been payable on the loan at the official rate, exceeds
(b) the amount of interest (if any) actually paid by P in that year on the loan.
(2) In this section and section 742D the “official rate”, in relation to interest, means the rate applicable from time to time under section 178 of the Finance Act 1989 for the purposes of Chapter 7 of Part 3 of ITEPA 2003.

742D Value of benefit provided by making movable property available
(1) The value of the benefit provided by making movable property available, without any transfer of the property in it, to a person (P) is, for each tax year in which the benefit is provided to P—
( CC × R × D Y ) − T
where—
CC is the capital cost of the movable property on the date when the property is first made available to P in the tax year,
D is the number of days in the tax year on which the property is made available to P (the relevant period),
R is the official rate of interest for the relevant period (but see subsection (3)),
T is the total of the amounts (if any) paid in the tax year by P—
(a) to the person providing the benefit, in respect of the availability of the movable property, or
(b) so far as not within paragraph (a), in respect of the repair, insurance, maintenance or storage of the movable property, and
Y is the number of days in the tax year.
(2) In subsection (1), in the meaning of CC, the “capital cost” of the movable property means an amount equal to the total of—
(a) the amount which is the greater of—
(i) the amount or value of the consideration given for the acquisition of the movable property by, or on behalf of, the person (A) providing the benefit, and
(ii) its market value at the time of that acquisition, and
(b) the amount of any expenditure wholly and exclusively incurred by, or on behalf of, A for the purpose of enhancing the value of the movable property.
(3) If the official rate of interest changes during the relevant period, then in subsection (1) R is the average official rate of interest for the period calculated as follows.
Step 1 Multiply each official rate of interest in force during the relevant period by the number of days when it is in force.
Step 2 Add together the products found in Step 1.
Step 3 Divide the total found in Step 2 by the number of days in the relevant period.
(4) In subsections (1) and (2), “movable property” means any tangible movable property other than money.

742E Value of benefit provided by making land available
(1) The value of the benefit provided by making land available for the use of a person (P) is, for each tax year in which the benefit is provided to P, the amount by which—
(a) the rental value of the land for the period of the tax year during which the land is made available to P, exceeds
(b) the total of the amounts (if any) paid in the tax year by P—
(i) to the person providing the benefit, in respect of the availability of the land, or
(ii) so far as not within sub-paragraph (i), in respect of costs of repair, insurance or maintenance relating to the land.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply in the case where the person providing the benefit transfers the whole of the person's interest in the land to P.
(3) In subsection (1) “the rental value” of the land for a period means the rent which would have been payable for the period if the land had been let to P at an annual rent equal to the annual value.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3) “the annual value” of land is the rent that might reasonably be expected to be obtained on a letting from year to year if—
(a) the tenant undertook to pay all taxes, rates and charges usually paid by a tenant, and
(b) the landlord undertook to bear the costs of the repairs and insurance and the other expenses (if any) necessary for maintaining the property in a state to command that rent.
(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) that rent—
(a) is to be taken to be the amount that might reasonably be expected to be so obtained in respect of a letting of the land, and
(b) is to be calculated on the basis that the only amounts that may be deducted in respect of services provided by the landlord are amounts in respect of the costs to the landlord of providing any relevant services.
(6) In subsection (5) “relevant service” means a service other than the repair, insurance or maintenance of the property.

(b) early trade losses relief (see sections 72 to 74).
(4) For the purposes of this Chapter—

(b) any of sections 104, 107 and 110 applies in relation to the relief (whether or not any of those sections restricts the amount of the relief), and
(c) after the individual makes the claim or claims, a chargeable event occurs.
(2) The relief within this subsection is—
(a) sideways relief but only if the whole or part of the relief is claimed against income of the individual apart from profits of the relevant trade, and
(b) capital gains relief.
(3) A chargeable event occurs whenever—
(a) the amount of the individual's contribution to the firm is reduced as a result of the application of regulations made under section 114, and
(b) that reduction in the individual's contribution to the firm immediately results in—
(i) the total amount of trade losses claimed (less any reclaimed relief) becoming greater than the contribution, or
(ii) an increase in the amount by which the total amount of trade losses claimed (less any reclaimed relief) exceeds the contribution.
(4) The individual is treated as receiving an amount of income every time a chargeable event occurs.
The income is treated as arising otherwise than as profits of a trade.
(5) The amount of the income is calculated in accordance with section 793.
(6) If—
(a) the firm is carrying on, or has carried on, more than one trade, and
(b) subsection (1)(a) and (b) applies in relation to losses made by the individual in one or more of those trades as a partner in the firm,
the firm's trades are taken together for the purpose of determining whether a chargeable event occurs at any time after a claim in relation to any of those losses has been made and, if one does occur, the amount of income treated as received by the individual at that time.
See section 794(6) for modifications giving effect to this.
(7) References in this section to an individual being a partner in a firm include a reference to an individual being a limited partner within the meaning of section 103A as a result of subsection (1)(c) of that section.

Word in s. 792(8) substituted (retrospective to 6.4.2007) by Finance Act 2007 (c. 11), Sch. 4 paras. 17(b), 21

(4) Amount C is the amount given by—
(a) taking the amount by which, at the time immediately after the chargeable event occurs, the total amount of trade losses claimed exceeds the individual's contribution to the firm, and

(4) In sections 792 and 793 “the individual's contribution to the firm” at any time means the individual's contribution to the firm or the LLP (as the case may be) at that time as calculated for the purposes of the relevant restriction provision.
(5) The “relevant restriction provision” means—
(a) whichever of sections 104, 107 and 110 applied as mentioned in section 792(1)(b), or
(b) if more than one of those sections applied as mentioned in section 792(1)(b), the section which so applied to the amount of relief which could be given for the loss most recently made by the individual in the relevant trade.
(6) In a case to which section 792(6) applies, for the purpose of determining the total amount of trade losses claimed, the amount of the reclaimed relief and the relevant restriction provision—
(a) apply subsections (1) and (2) in relation to each of the trades that the firm is carrying on, or has carried on, and then add the results together, and
(b) apply subsections (3) and (5)(b) as if references to the relevant trade were references to any of the trades that the firm is carrying on, or has carried on.

The income is treated as arising otherwise than as profits of the trade.
(4) A chargeable event occurs whenever—
(a) the individual makes a relevant claim (if by that time a relevant disposal and an exit event have occurred),
(b) a relevant disposal occurs (if by that time an exit event has occurred and the individual has made a relevant claim), or
(c) an exit event occurs (if by that time a relevant disposal has occurred and the individual has made a relevant claim).
(5) The amount of income treated as received when a chargeable event occurs is equal to the sum of—
(a) the total amount or value of all non-taxable consideration received by the individual for relevant disposals, and

(6) The changes covered by event D include cases where there is an agreement under which the individual is entitled—

(5) Amount A is the total amount of income treated as received by the individual under section 792 (recovery of excess relief) as a result of the application of that section in relation to claims for relief for losses made by the individual in the trade.
(6) Amount B is the total amount of film-related losses within subsection (7) for which the individual has made a relevant claim.
(7) A loss is within this subsection if it is made by the individual in the trade—
(a) in a tax year at a time during which the individual carries on the trade as a member of an LLP or as a limited partner, or
(b) in an early tax year during which the individual carries on the trade as a non-active partner.

(b) the firm is carrying on, or has carried on, more than one trade.
(10) For the purpose of determining the individual's claimed film-related losses—
(a) apply subsection (3)(a) in relation to each of the trades and then add the results together,
(b) apply subsection (5) as if the reference to the trade were a reference to any of the trades, and
(c) apply subsections (6) and (7) in relation to each of the trades and then add the results together.

801 Meaning of “capital contribution”
(1) This section applies for the purposes of section 797.
(2) The individual's capital contribution is the amount which the individual has contributed to the trade as capital less so much of that amount (if any) as is within subsection (6).
This is subject to subsection (3).
(3) If the individual has made a relevant claim for a film-related loss made in the trade as a partner in a firm, the individual's capital contribution is the amount which the individual has contributed to the firm as capital less so much of that amount (if any) as is within subsection (6).
(4) In particular, the individual's share of any profits of the firm is to be included for the purposes of subsection (3) in the amount which the individual has contributed to the firm as capital so far as that share has been added to the firm's capital.
(5) In subsection (4) the reference to profits are to profits calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice (before any adjustment required or authorised by law in calculating profits for income tax purposes).
(6) An amount of capital is within this subsection if it is an amount which—
(a) the individual has previously drawn out or received back,
(b) the individual is entitled to draw out or receive back,
(c) another person has reimbursed to the individual, or
(d) the individual is entitled to require another person to reimburse to the individual.
(7) But if a chargeable event occurs, anything treated for the purposes of section 797(5)(a) as consideration received by the individual for a relevant disposal is not to be treated as capital within subsection (6) in calculating the individual's capital contribution for the purposes of section 797(5)(b).
(8) In this section—
(a) any reference to drawing out, receiving back or reimbursing an amount is to doing so directly or indirectly,
(b) any reference to drawing out or receiving back an amount does not include drawing out or receiving back an amount which, because of its being drawn out or received back, is chargeable to income tax as profits of a trade, and
(c) any reference to reimbursing an amount includes discharging or assuming all or part of a liability of the individual,
but the express provision made by paragraph (c) does not affect what counts as the receipt back or reimbursement of an amount.
(9) This section needs to be read with any regulations made under section 802 (specified amounts to be excluded in calculating a partner's capital contribution for the purposes of section 797).

802 Exclusion of amounts in calculating capital contribution by a partner
(1) This section applies if an individual makes a relevant claim for a film-related loss made by the individual in a trade as a partner in a firm.
(2) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations provide that any amount of a specified description is to be excluded in calculating the individual's capital contribution for the purposes of section 797.
(3) “Specified” means specified in the regulations.
(4) The regulations may—
(a) make provision having retrospective effect,
(b) contain incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision and savings, and
(c) make different provision for different cases or purposes.
(5) The provision which may be made as a result of subsection (4)(b) includes provision amending or repealing any provision of an Act passed before FA 2005.
(6) No regulations may be made under this section unless a draft of them has been laid before and approved by a resolution of the House of Commons.

803 Prohibition against double counting
(1) Subsections (2) and (3) apply for the purpose of calculating the amount of income received under section 797 on a chargeable event in respect of the individual and the trade.
(2) If chargeable events have previously occurred in respect of the individual and the trade, any consideration taken into account in calculating the amount of income received on an earlier chargeable event is left out of account.
(3) If chargeable events have previously occurred in respect of the individual and the trade, the amount of income received as a result of section 797(5)(b) is reduced (but not below nil) by the total amount of income received on earlier chargeable events as a result of that provision.
(4) In a case to which section 800(10) (cases in which firm is carrying on, or has carried on, more than one trade) applies—
(a) subsections (2) and (3) of this section have effect as if references to the trade were references to any of the firm's trades, and
(b) if chargeable events in respect of the individual and any of the firm's trades occur at the same time, to find the total amount of income received under section 797 at that time on those chargeable events—
(i) calculate separately the income received on each chargeable event ignoring the other chargeable events,
(ii) add the results from sub-paragraph (i) together, and
(iii) reduce the total amount of income resulting from sub-paragraph (ii) so far as necessary to ensure that no amount is included more than once in that total.

Individuals in partnership claiming relief for licence-related trading losses

804 Charge to tax on income treated as received under section 805
(1) Income tax is charged on income treated as received by an individual under section 805.
(2) Tax is charged under this section on the amount of the income treated as received in the tax year.
(3) The person liable for any tax charged under this section is the individual treated as receiving the income.

805 Partners claiming relief for licence-related trading losses
(1) This section applies if—
(a) an individual carries on a trade as a non-active partner during an early tax year,
(b) the individual makes a loss in the trade in that tax year for which the individual claims sideways relief or capital gains relief (a “relevant claim”),
(c) the loss derives to any extent from expenditure incurred in the trade in exploiting a licence acquired in carrying on the trade, and
(d) there is a relevant disposal of the licence.
(2) For the purposes of this section and section 806 there is a relevant disposal of the licence whenever the individual receives non-taxable consideration for—
(a) a disposal of the licence, or
(b) a disposal of a right to income under an agreement related to or containing the licence.
(3) If one or more chargeable events occur in any tax year, the individual is treated as receiving an amount of income in the tax year.
The income is treated as arising otherwise than as profits of the trade.
(4) For the purposes of this section and section 806 a chargeable event occurs whenever—
(a) there is a relevant disposal of the licence (if by that time the individual has made a relevant claim), or
(b) the individual makes a relevant claim (if by that time there has been a relevant disposal of the licence).
(5) For the purposes of this section and section 806 consideration is non-taxable if—
(a) (apart from section 804) it is not chargeable to income tax, and
(b) its receipt is not an exit event for the purposes of section 797.
(6) For the purposes of this section and section 806 it does not matter—
(a) if the individual (or anyone else) is still carrying on the trade when a chargeable event occurs,
(b) if the individual receives both non-taxable and taxable consideration for a relevant disposal of the licence, or
(c) if a relevant disposal of the licence is part of a larger disposal.

806 Calculation of amount of income treated as received by the individual
The amount of income treated under section 805 as received by the individual in the tax year is calculated by taking the following steps. Step 1
Calculate, at the end of the tax year, the total amount of the claimed losses (so far as relating to the licence) made by the individual in the trade in any early tax year during which the individual carried on the trade as a non-active partner.
Step 2
Calculate, at the end of the tax year, the total amount of the profits (so far as relating to the licence) made by the individual in the trade in any tax year.
Step 3
Deduct the total calculated at Step 2 from the total calculated at Step 1.
The result is “the net licence-related loss”.
If the net licence-related loss is nil or a negative figure—
(a) the income treated as received in the tax year is nil, and
(b) ignore Steps 4 and 5.
Step 4
Calculate, at the end of the tax year, the total amount or value of all non-taxable consideration received by the individual for relevant disposals (including consideration received in previous tax years).
Step 5
Deduct from—
(a) the net licence-related loss, or
(b) if less, the total calculated at Step 4,
the total amount of all income treated under section 805 as received by the individual in previous tax years as a result of chargeable events.
The result is the amount of the income treated as received in the tax year.
(If the result is a negative figure, the income is nil.)

807 Supplementary provision relating to calculation in section 806
(1) This section applies for the purposes of section 806.
(2) For the purposes of Step 1, the amount of a loss made in a tax year that relates to the licence is so much of the loss in the tax year as derives from expenditure incurred in the trade in exploiting the licence.
(3) The amount of the loss that derives from such expenditure is determined on a just and reasonable basis.
(4) For the purposes of Step 1, a loss is a claimed loss if the individual has claimed sideways relief or capital gains relief for the loss.
(5) For the purposes of Step 2, the amount of profits made in a tax year that relates to the licence is so much of the individual's profits from the trade in the tax year as derives from income arising from an agreement related to or containing the licence.
(6) The amount of the profits that derives from such income is determined on a just and reasonable basis.

808 Meaning of “disposal of the licence” etc
(1) For the purposes of section 805 any reference to—
(a) a disposal of a licence acquired in carrying on a trade, or
(b) a disposal of a right to income under an agreement related to or containing a licence acquired in carrying on a trade (“a licence-related agreement”),
includes, in particular, any of events A to E.
(2) Event A is the revocation of the licence.
(3) Event B is the disposal, giving up or loss of—
(a) a right under the licence, or
(b) a right to income (or any part of any income) under a licence-related agreement,
by the individual or by a firm in which the individual is a partner.
It does not matter if the right is disposed of, given up or lost as part of a larger disposal, giving up or loss.
(4) Event C is the disposal, giving up or loss of the individual's interest in a firm that has the licence or a right to income under a licence-related agreement (including the dissolution of the firm).
(5) Event D is a default in the payment of income to which—
(a) the individual, or
(b) a firm in which the individual is a partner,
has a right under a licence-related agreement.
(6) Event E is a change in the individual's entitlement to any profits or losses relating to the licence the effect of which is that—
(a) the individual's share of any profits is reduced (including to nil), or
(b) the individual becomes entitled to a share, or a greater share, of any losses without becoming entitled to a corresponding share of profits.
(7) The changes covered by event E include cases where there is an agreement under which the individual is entitled—
(a) to a particular share of any profits or losses relating to the licence in a period (including a nil share), and
(b) to a different share of any such profits or losses in a succeeding period (including a nil share).
(8) In such cases the change in the individual's entitlement is treated for the purposes of section 805 as occurring at the beginning of the succeeding period.
(9) For the purposes of this section—
(a) references to any profits relating to the licence are to any profits deriving to any extent from income to which the individual has a right under a licence-related agreement, and
(b) references to any losses relating to the licence are to losses deriving to any extent from expenditure incurred in exploiting the licence.

809 Other definitions
(1) References in sections 805 and 806 to an individual carrying on a trade as a non-active partner in an early tax year are to be read as if those sections were contained in Chapter 3 of Part 4 (see, in particular, section 103B).
Word in s. 809(1) substituted (retrospective to 6.4.2007) by Finance Act 2007 (c. 11), Sch. 4 paras. 18(a), 21
(2) But for that purpose, section 103B(1)(b) (which contains a requirement that the individual does not carry on the trade as a limited partner at any time during the tax year) is treated as if it were omitted.
Word in s. 809(2) substituted (retrospective to 6.4.2007) by Finance Act 2007 (c. 11), Sch. 4 paras. 18(b), 21
(3) For the purposes of sections 805 to 808 an agreement is related to a licence if the agreement and licence are entered into under the same arrangement (regardless of when the agreement or licence is entered into).
(4) For the purposes of sections 805 to 808 an agreement, or part of an agreement, is not prevented from being a licence merely because it imposes an obligation to do a thing (rather than merely gives authority to do it).
References to exploiting a licence are to be read in that light.

Chapter 5A Transfers of income streams

809AZA Application of Chapter
(1) This Chapter applies where—
(a) a person within the charge to income tax (“the transferor”) makes a transfer to another person (“the transferee”) of a right to relevant receipts (see subsection (2)), and
(b) (subject to subsection (3)) the transfer of the right is not a consequence of the transfer to the transferee of an asset from which the right to relevant receipts arises.
(2) “Relevant receipts” means any income—
(a) which (but for the transfer) would be charged to income tax as income of the transferor, or
(b) which (but for the transfer) would be brought into account in calculating profits of the transferor for the purposes of income tax.
(3) Despite paragraph (b) of subsection (1), this Chapter applies if the transfer of the right is a consequence of the transfer to the transferee of all rights under an agreement for annual payments; and for the purposes of that paragraph the transfer of an asset under a sale and repurchase agreement is not to be regarded as a transfer of the asset.
(4) Section 809AZB makes provision as to the consequences of this Chapter applying.
(5) For exclusions from this Chapter, see—
(a) section 809AZC (amount otherwise taxed),
(b) section 809AZD (certain annuities), and
(c) section 809AZE (transfer by way of security).
(6) Section 809AZF makes special provision about transfers of partnership shares.
(7) Section 809AZG contains supplementary provisions.

809AZB Value of transferred income stream treated as income
(1) The relevant amount (see subsection (2)) is to be treated as income of the transferor chargeable to income tax in the same way and to the same extent as that in which the relevant receipts—
(a) would have been chargeable to income tax, or
(b) would have been brought into account in calculating any profits for the purposes of income tax,
but for the transfer of the right to relevant receipts.
(2) The relevant amount is—
(a) (except where paragraph (b) applies) the amount of the consideration for the transfer of the right, or
(b) where the amount of any such consideration is substantially less than the market value of the right at the time when the transfer takes place (or where there is no consideration for the transfer of the right), the market value of the right at that time.
(3) The income under subsection (1) is to be treated as arising in the chargeable period of the transferor in which the transfer takes place.
(4) But subsection (5) applies if (apart from the transfer) any of the relevant receipts—
(a) would have been brought into account in accordance with Part 2 or 3 of ITTOIA 2005 (trading income and property income) in calculating any profits for the purposes of income tax, and
(b) in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, would have been recognised otherwise than wholly in the chargeable period in which the transfer takes place.
(5) If this subsection applies, the income under subsection (1) is to be treated as arising—
(a) to the extent that it does not exceed the amount of the consideration for the transfer of the right, in the chargeable period or periods for which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the consideration for the transfer is recognised for accounting purposes in a profit and loss account or income statement of the transferor, and
(b) otherwise, in the chargeable period or periods for which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the consideration for the transfer would be so recognised if it were of an amount equal to the market value of the right at the time when the transfer takes place.
(6) But if in a case where the transferor is a company it at any time becomes reasonable to assume that the income (to any extent) is not, or would not be, treated by subsection (5) as arising in an accounting period of the transferor, the income is to that extent to be treated as arising immediately before that time.

809AZC Exception: amount otherwise taxed
This Chapter does not apply if and to the extent that the income under section 809AZB(1) is (apart from this Chapter)—
(a) charged to tax as income of the transferor,
(b) brought into account in calculating the profits of the transferor, or
(c) brought into account under CAA 2001.

809AZD Exception: certain annuities
This Chapter does not apply to a transfer of a right to—
(a) annual payments under a life annuity as defined in section 473(2) of ITTOIA 2005, or
(b) annual payments under an annuity which is pension income within the meaning of Part 9 of ITEPA 2003 (see section 566(2) of that Act).

809AZE Exception: transfer by way of security
(1) This Chapter does not apply if—
(a) the consideration for the transfer is the advance under a type 1 finance arrangement, and
(b) the transferor is, or is a member of a partnership which is, the borrower in relation to the arrangement.
(2) This Chapter does not apply if—
(a) the consideration for the transfer is the advance under a type 2 finance arrangement or a type 3 finance arrangement, and
(b) the transferor is a member of the partnership which receives that advance under the arrangement.
(3) In this section—
“type 1 finance arrangement” has the meaning given for the purposes of Chapter 5B by section 809BZA,
“type 2 finance arrangement” has the meaning given for the purposes of Chapter 5B by section 809BZF, and
“type 3 finance arrangement” has the meaning given for the purposes of Chapter 5B by section 809BZJ.

809AZF Partnership shares
(1) For the purposes of this Chapter a transfer of a right to relevant receipts consisting of the reduction in a transferor's share in the profits or losses of a partnership is to be regarded as a consequence of a transfer of an asset from which the right arose (that is, the partnership property) ....

(a) the grant or surrender of a lease of land is to be regarded as a transfer of the land, and

(2) The Treasury may by order make other provision for securing that other transactions are to be regarded as transfers of assets for those purposes.
(3) In this Chapter—
(a) references to a transfer include sale, exchange, gift and assignment (or assignation) and any other arrangement which equates in substance to a transfer, and
(b) references to a transfer taking place are, in the case of an arrangement other than a sale, exchange, gift or assignment (or assignation), to the making of the arrangement.
(4) A transfer to or by any partnership of which the transferor or transferee is a member, and a transfer to the trustees of any trust of which the transferor is a beneficiary, counts as a transfer in relation to which this Chapter applies.

(a) there is, or is in substance, a disposal of a right to relevant receipts by the transferor to the transferee,
(b) the disposal is effected (wholly or partly) by or through a partnership (“the relevant partnership”),
(c) at any time—
(i) the transferor is a member of the relevant partnership or of a partnership associated with the relevant partnership, and
(ii) the transferee is a member of the relevant partnership or of a partnership associated with the relevant partnership, and
(d) the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of one or more steps taken in effecting the disposal is the obtaining of a tax advantage for any person.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (1)(c) it does not matter if the transferor and the transferee are not members of a partnership as mentioned at the same time.
(6) For the purposes of subsection (1)(c) a partnership is “associated” with the relevant partnership if—
(a) it is a member of the relevant partnership, or

(a) a repayment (in whole or part) of an investment made directly or indirectly by the individual in the scheme,
(b) an arm's length return on an investment made directly or indirectly by the individual in the scheme, or

S. 809EZB(2A) inserted (with effect in accordance with s. 44(3) of the amending Act) by Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (c. 33), s. 44(1)
(3) In this Chapter “sum” includes any money or money's worth (and other expressions are to be construed accordingly).
(4) Where—
(a) a sum in the form of money's worth arises to the individual from the scheme in the ordinary course of the scheme's business, and
(b) the individual gives the scheme money in exchange for the sum,
the sum constitutes a “management fee” only to the extent that its market value at the time it arises exceeds the amount of the money given by the individual.

809EZC Meaning of “carried interest” in section 809EZB
(1) For the purposes of section 809EZB “carried interest” means a sum which arises to the individual under the arrangements by way of profit-related return.
This is subject to subsections (3) to (8) (sums where no significant risk of not arising); and see also section 809EZD (sums treated as carried interest).
(2) A sum which arises to the individual under the arrangements does so by way of “profit-related return” if under the arrangements—
(a) the sum is to, or may, arise only if—
(i) there are profits for a period on the investments, or on particular investments, made for the purposes of the scheme, or
(ii) there are profits arising from a disposal of the investments, or of particular investments, made for those purposes,
(b) the amount of the sum which is to, or may, arise is variable, to a substantial extent, by reference to those profits, and
(c) returns to external investors are also determined by reference to those profits;
but where any part of the sum does not meet these conditions, that part is not to be regarded as arising by way of “profit-related return”.
(3) Where—
(a) one or more sums (“actual sums”) arise to the individual under the arrangements by way of profit-related return in a tax year, and
(b) there was no significant risk that a sum of at least a certain amount (“the minimum amount”) would not arise to the individual,
so much of the actual sum, or of the aggregate of the actual sums, as is equal to the minimum amount is not “carried interest”.
(See subsections (7) and (8) as to how the minimum amount is to be apportioned between the actual sums where more than one actual sum arises in the tax year.)
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) assess the risk both—
(a) in relation to each actual sum (and the investments to which it relates) individually, taking into account also any other sums that might have arisen to the individual under the arrangements instead of that sum, and
(b) in relation to the actual sum or sums and any other sums that might have arisen to the individual under the arrangements by way of profit-related return in the tax year (and the investments to which all those sums relate) taken as a whole;
(so that, in a particular case, some of the minimum amount may arise by assessing the risk in accordance with paragraph (a) and some by assessing it in accordance with paragraph (b)).
(5) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) assess the risk as at the latest of—
(a) the time when the individual becomes party to the arrangements,
(b) the time when the individual begins to perform investment management services directly or indirectly in respect of the scheme under the arrangements, and
(c) the time when a material change is made to the arrangements so far as relating to the sums which are to, or may, arise to the individual.
(6) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) ignore any risk that a sum is prevented from arising to the individual (by reason of insolvency or otherwise).
(7) Where more than one actual sum arises in the tax year, the minimum amount is to be apportioned between the actual sums as follows for the purposes of subsection (3)—
(a) so much of the minimum amount as is attributable to a particular actual sum is to be apportioned to that actual sum, and
(b) so much of the minimum amount as is not attributable to any particular actual sum is to be apportioned between the actual sums on a just and reasonable basis.
(8) For the purpose of subsection (7) any part of the minimum amount is attributable to a particular actual sum to the extent that there was no significant risk that that part would not arise to the individual in relation to that actual sum, assessing the risk in accordance with subsection (4)(a).

809EZD Sums treated as “carried interest” for purposes of section 809EZB
(1) A sum falling within subsection (2) or (3)—
(a) is to be assumed to meet the requirements of section 809EZC, and
(b) accordingly, is to be treated as constituting “carried interest” for the purposes of section 809EZB.
(2) A sum falls within this subsection if, under the arrangements, it is to, or may, arise to the individual out of profits on the investments made for the purposes of the scheme, but only after—
(a) all, or substantially all, of the investments in the scheme made by the participants have been repaid to the participants, and
(b) each external investor has received a preferred return on all, or substantially all, of the investor's investments in the scheme.
(3) A sum falls within this subsection if, under the arrangements, it is to, or may, arise to the individual out of profits on a particular investment made for the purposes of the scheme, but only after—
(a) all, or substantially all, of the relevant investments made by participants have been repaid to those participants, and
(b) each of those participants who is an external investor has received a preferred return on all, or substantially all, of the investor's relevant investments;
and for this purpose “relevant investments” means those investments in the scheme to which the particular investment made for the purposes of the scheme is attributable.
(4) In this section “preferred return” means a return of not less than the amount that would be payable on the investment by way of interest if—
(a) compound interest were payable on the investment for the whole of the period during which it was invested in the scheme, and
(b) the interest were calculated at a rate of 6% per annum, with annual rests.

(d) capital gains tax is not charged on B in respect of the sum by virtue of Chapter 5 of Part 3 of TCGA 1992, and
(e) the sum does not arise to A apart from this section.
(2) The sum referred to in subsection (1)(a) arises to A for the purposes of this Chapter.
(3) Where a sum arises to A by virtue of this section, it arises to A at the time the sum referred to in subsection (1)(a) arises to B.
(4) Section 993 (meaning of “connected”) applies for the purposes of this section, but as if—
(a) subsection (4) of that section were omitted, and
(b) partners in a partnership in which A is also a partner were not “associates” of A for the purposes of sections 450 and 451 of CTA 2010 (“control”).

809EZDB Sums arising to connected company or unconnected person
(1) This section applies in relation to an individual (“A”) if—
(a) a sum arises to—
(i) a company connected with A, or
(ii) a person not connected with A,
(b) any of the enjoyment conditions is met, and
(c) the sum does not arise to A apart from this section.
(2) The enjoyment conditions are—
(a) the sum, or part of the sum, is in fact so dealt with by any person as to be calculated at some time to enure for the benefit of A or a person connected with A;
(b) the arising of the sum operates to increase the value to A or a person connected with A of any assets which—
(i) A or the connected person holds, or
(ii) are held for the benefit of A or the connected person;
(c) A or a person connected with A receives or is entitled to receive at any time any benefit provided or to be provided out of the sum or part of the sum;
(d) A or a person connected with A may become entitled to the beneficial enjoyment of the sum or part of the sum if one or more powers are exercised or successively exercised (and for these purposes it does not matter who may exercise the powers or whether they are exercisable with or without the consent of another person);
(e) A or a person connected with A is able in any manner to control directly or indirectly the application of the sum or part of the sum.
In this subsection, in a case where the sum referred to in subsection (1)(a) arises to a company connected with A, references to a person connected with A do not include that company.
(3) There arises to A for the purposes of this Chapter—
(a) the sum referred to in subsection (1)(a), or
(b) if the enjoyment condition in subsection (2)(a), (c), (d) or (e) is met in relation to part of the sum, that part of that sum, or
(c) if the enjoyment condition in subsection (2)(b) is met, such part of that sum as is equal to the amount by which the value of the assets referred to in that condition is increased.
(4) Where a sum (or part of a sum) arises to A by virtue of this section, it arises to A at the time it arises to the person referred to in subsection (1)(a)(i) or (ii) (whether the enjoyment condition was met at that time or at a later date).
(5) In determining whether any of the enjoyment conditions is met in relation to a sum or part of a sum—
(a) regard must be had to the substantial result and effect of all the relevant circumstances, and
(b) all benefits which may at any time accrue to a person as a result of the sum arising as specified in subsection (1)(a) must be taken into account, irrespective of—
(i) the nature or form of the benefits, or
(ii) whether the person has legal or equitable rights in respect of the benefits.
(6) The enjoyment condition in subsection (2)(b), (c) or (d) is to be treated as not met if it would be met only by reason of A holding shares or an interest in shares in a company.
(7) The enjoyment condition in subsection (2)(a) or (e) is to be treated as not met if the sum referred to in subsection (1)(a) arises to a company connected with A and—
(a) the company is liable to pay corporation tax in respect of its profits and the sum is included in the computation of those profits, or
(b) paragraph (a) does not apply but—
(i) the company is a CFC and the exemption in Chapter 14 of Part 9A of TIOPA 2010 applies for the accounting period in which the sum arises, or
(ii) the company is not a CFC but, if it were, that exemption would apply for that period.
In this subsection “CFC” has the same meaning as in Part 9A of TIOPA 2010.
(8) But subsections (6) and (7) do not apply if the sum referred to in subsection (1)(a) arises to the company referred to in subsection (1)(a)(i) or the person referred to in subsection (1)(a)(ii) as part of arrangements where—
(a) it is reasonable to assume that in the absence of the arrangements the sum or part of the sum would have arisen to A or an individual connected with A, and
(b) it is reasonable to assume that the arrangements have as their main purpose, or one of their main purposes, the avoidance of a liability to pay income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or corporation tax.
(9) The condition in subsection (8)(b) is to be regarded as met in a case where the sum is applied directly or indirectly as an investment in a collective investment scheme.
(10) Section 993 (meaning of “connected”) applies for the purposes of this section, but as if—
(a) subsection (4) of that section were omitted, and
(b) partners in a partnership in which A is also a partner were not “associates” of A for the purposes of sections 450 and 451 of CTA 2010 (“control”).

CHAPTER 5F Income-based carried interest

Income-based carried interest

809FZA Overview
(1) This Chapter determines when carried interest arising to an individual from an investment scheme is “income-based carried interest” for the purposes of Chapter 5E (and, in particular, section 809EZB(1)(c)).
(2) Section 809FZB contains the general rule, under which the extent to which carried interest is income-based carried interest depends on the average holding period of the investment scheme.
(3) Sections 809FZC to 809FZP contain further provision relating to average holding periods.
(4) Sections 809FZQ and 809FZR contain a particular rule for direct lending funds.
(5) Sections 809FZS and 809FZT contain an exception to the general rule for carried interest which is conditionally exempt from income tax.
(6) Sections 809FZU to 809FZZ contain supplementary and interpretative provision.
(7) Nothing in this Chapter affects the liability to any tax of—
(a) the investment scheme, or
(b) external investors in the investment scheme.

809FZB Income-based carried interest: general rule
(1) “Income-based carried interest” is the relevant proportion of a sum of carried interest arising to an individual from an investment scheme.
(2) The relevant proportion is determined by reference to the investment scheme's average holding period as follows.
Average holding period	Relevant proportion
Less than 36 months	100%
At least 36 months but less than 37 months	80%
At least 37 months but less than 38 months	60%
At least 38 months but less than 39 months	40%
At least 39 months but less than 40 months	20%
40 months or more	0%
(3) This section is subject to the following provisions of this Chapter.

Average holding period

809FZC Average holding period
(1) The average holding period of an investment scheme, in relation to a sum of carried interest, is the average length of time for which relevant investments have been held for the purposes of the scheme.
(2) In this section, “relevant investments” means investments—
(a) which are made for the purposes of the scheme, and
(b) by reference to which the carried interest is calculated.
(3) The average holding period is calculated by reference to the time the carried interest arises.
(4) It is calculated as follows.
Step 1 For each relevant investment, multiply the value invested at the time the investment was made by the length of time for which the investment has been held.
Step 2 Add together the amounts produced under step 1 in respect of all relevant investments.
Step 3 Divide the amount produced under step 2 by the total value invested in all relevant investments.
(5) Disregard intermediate holdings or intermediate holding structures (including intermediate investment schemes) by or through which investments are made or held—
(a) when identifying, for the purpose of determining the average holding period of an investment scheme, what relevant investments are held for the purposes of an investment scheme, and
(b) for any other purpose relating to the determination of the average holding period.
This is subject to the following provisions of this Chapter.
(6) In this section, references to the length of time for which a relevant investment has been held are—
(a) in the case of an investment which has been disposed of before the carried interest arises, references to the time for which it was held before being disposed of, and
(b) in any other case, references to the time for which it has been held up to the time the carried interest arises.
(7) For the purposes of this Chapter, carried interest which is deferred carried interest in relation to a person within the meaning of section 103KG of TCGA 1992 is to be treated as arising to that person at the time it would have arisen had it not been deferred as specified in section 103KG(3)(a) or (b) of that Act.
(8) Sections 809FZD to 809FZP apply for the purposes of determining the average holding period of an investment scheme.

Average holding period: disposals

809FZD Disposals
(1) An investment or part of an investment is disposed of where—
(a) there is a disposal of the investment or the part of the investment for the purposes of the investment scheme,
(b) there is a disposal for the purposes of the investment scheme of an intermediate holding or intermediate holding structure (including an intermediate investment scheme) by or through which the investment is held, or
(c) in any other case, there is a deemed disposal under subsection (2).
(2) There is a deemed disposal of an investment or part of an investment under this subsection where—
(a) under any arrangements—
(i) the scheme in substance closes its position on the investment or the part of the investment, or
(ii) the scheme ceases to be exposed to risks and rewards in the respect of the investment or the part of the investment, and
(b) it is reasonable to suppose that the arrangements were designed to secure that result.
(3) In the case of a disposal of part of a holding of securities in a company which are of the same class, suppose for the purposes of determining which investments have been disposed of that the disposal affects the securities in the order in which they were acquired (that is, on a first in first out basis).
(4) The references in subsection (1)(a) and (b) to a disposal are to something which is a disposal for the purposes of TCGA 1992; but for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) disregard section 116 of TCGA 1992 (which disapplies sections 127 to 130 of that Act in relation to qualifying corporate bonds).

809FZE Part disposals
(1) Where there is a disposal of part of an investment, the part disposed of and the part not disposed of are to be treated as two separate investments which were made at the same time.
(2) The value of each of those two separate investments is the appropriate proportion of the value first invested in the whole investment.
(3) The appropriate proportion is the proportion of the value of the part in question to the value of the whole investment at the time of the disposal.
(4) The disposal of part of an asset includes the disposal of an interest in or right over the asset (and “part disposed of” is to be construed accordingly).

809FZF Unwanted short-term investments
(1) The making and disposal of an investment for the purposes of an investment scheme are to be disregarded if—
(a) the investment is an unwanted short-term investment, and
(b) the unwanted short-term investment is excludable.
(2) An investment is an unwanted short-term investment where—
(a) the investment is made as part of a transaction under which one or more other investments are made for the purposes of the scheme,
(b) the value of the investment does not exceed that of the other investments taken together,
(c) it is reasonable to suppose that the investment had to be made in order for the other investments to be made,
(d) at the time the investment is made, managers of the scheme have a firm, settled and evidenced intention to dispose of the investment for the purposes of the scheme within the relevant period,
(e) the investment is disposed of for the purposes of the scheme within the relevant period, and
(f) any profit resulting from the disposal has no bearing on whether a sum of carried interest arises or on the amount of any sum of carried interest which does arise.
(3) An unwanted short-term investment is excludable if it constitutes—
(a) an investment in land,
(b) an investment in securities in an unlisted company,

809J Section 809I: order of remittances
(1) If section 809I applies, the following steps are to be taken for the purpose of determining the income or gains treated in a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) as remitted to the United Kingdom by the individual.
Step 1
Find the total amount of—
(a) the individual's nominated income and gains, and
(b) the individual's remittance basis income and gains,
that have been remitted to the United Kingdom in the relevant tax year.
This amount is “the relevant amount”.
Step 2
Find the amount of foreign income and gains of the individual for the relevant tax year (other than income or chargeable gains nominated under section 809C) that is within each of the categories of income and gains in paragraphs (a) to (h) of subsection (2).
If none of sections 809B, 809D and 809E apply to the individual for that year, treat those amounts as nil (and accordingly go to step 6).
Step 3
Find the earliest paragraph for which the amount determined under step 2 is not nil.
If that amount does not exceed the relevant amount, treat the individual as having remitted the income or gains within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
Otherwise, treat the individual as having remitted the relevant proportion of each kind of income or gains within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
“The relevant proportion” is the relevant amount divided by the amount determined under step 2 for that paragraph.
Step 4
Reduce the relevant amount by the amount taken into account under step 3.
Step 5
If the relevant amount (as reduced under step 4) is not nil, start again at step 3.
In step 3, read the reference to the earliest paragraph of the kind mentioned there as a reference to the earliest such paragraph which has not previously been taken into account under that step.
Step 6
If the relevant amount (as reduced) is not nil once steps 3 to 5 have been undertaken in relation to all paragraphs of subsection (2) for which the amount determined under step 2 is not nil, start again at step 2.
In step 2, read the reference to the foreign income and gains of the individual for the relevant tax year as a reference to such of the foreign income and gains of the individual for the appropriate tax year as had not been remitted by the beginning of the relevant tax year.
“The appropriate tax year” is the latest tax year which is—
(a) before the last tax year for which step 2 has been undertaken, and
(b) a tax year for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual.
(2) The kinds of income and gains are—
(a) relevant foreign earnings (other than those subject to a foreign tax),
(b) foreign specific employment income (other than income subject to a foreign tax),
(c) relevant foreign income (other than income subject to a foreign tax),
(d) foreign chargeable gains (other than gains subject to a foreign tax),
(e) relevant foreign earnings subject to a foreign tax,
(f) foreign specific employment income subject to a foreign tax,
(g) relevant foreign income subject to a foreign tax, and
(h) foreign chargeable gains subject to a foreign tax.
(3) In this section the individual's “nominated income and gains” are the total income and chargeable gains nominated by the individual under section 809C for the relevant tax year or any earlier tax year.
(4) In step 1 of subsection (1) the individual's “remittance basis income and gains” are the foreign income and gains of the individual for all the tax years (up to and including the relevant tax year) for which section 809B, 809D or 809E applies to the individual, apart from the individual's nominated income and gains.
(5) In step 6 of subsection (1) the reference to income or gains being remitted is—
(a) as respects any tax year before section 809I applies, to income or gains being remitted to the United Kingdom, and
(b) as respects any tax year in relation to which that section applies, to income or gains treated under this section as so remitted.
(6) In subsection (2) “foreign tax” means any tax chargeable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom.

Remittance of income and gains: transfers from mixed funds

809Q Sections 809L and 809P: transfers from mixed funds
(1) This section applies for the purposes mentioned in subsection (2) where condition A in section 809L is met and—
(a) the property or consideration for the service is (wholly or in part), or derives (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from, a transfer from a mixed fund, or
(b) a transfer from a mixed fund, or anything deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from such a transfer, is used as mentioned in section 809L(3)(c).
(1A) But this section must be read subject to section 809RA.
S. 809Q(1A) inserted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 6 para. 8 of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2013 (c. 29), Sch. 6 para. 5
(2) The purposes referred to in subsection (1) are—
(a) determining whether condition B in section 809L is met, and
(b) if it is met, determining (under section 809P) the amount of income or chargeable gains remitted.
(3) The extent to which the transfer is of the individual's income or chargeable gains is to be determined as follows.
Step A1
Find the amount (if any) of income or capital of the individual for the relevant tax year in the mixed fund immediately before the transfer that is TRF capital.
If the amount of the transfer is equal to, or less than, the amount of TRF capital, treat the transfer as containing only TRF capital.
Otherwise—
(a) treat so much of the transfer as does not exceed the amount of the TRF capital as being comprised of TRF capital, and
(b) apply the following steps to the remainder of the transfer.
Step 1
For each of the categories of income and capital in paragraphs (a) to (i) of subsection (4), find (applying section 809R) the amount of income or capital of the individual for the relevant tax year in the mixed fund immediately before the transfer.
“The relevant tax year” is the tax year in which the transfer occurs.
Step 2
Find the earliest paragraph for which the amount determined under step 1 is not nil.
If that amount does not exceed the amount of the remainder, treat the remainder as containing the income or capital within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
Otherwise, treat the remainder as containing the relevant proportion of each kind of income or capital within that paragraph (and for that tax year).
“The relevant proportion” is the amount of the remainder divided by the amount determined under step 1 for that paragraph.
Step 3
Treat the amount of the remainder as reduced by the amount taken into account under step 2.
Step 4
If the amount of the remainder (as reduced under step 3) is not nil, start again at step 2.
In step 2, read the reference to the earliest paragraph of the kind mentioned there as a reference to the earliest such paragraph which has not previously been taken into account under that step in relation to the remainder.
Step 5
If the amount of the remainder (as reduced under step 3) is not nil once steps 2 and 3 have been undertaken in relation to all paragraphs of subsection (4) for which the amount determined under step 1 is not nil, start again at step 1.
In step 1, read the reference to the relevant tax year as a reference to the tax year immediately before the last tax year for which step 1 has been undertaken in relation to the transfer.

809RZB TRF capital account
(1) An individual may by notice to the Commissioners nominate an account to be a TRF capital account (and more than one nomination may have effect at any time).
(2) The notice must specify the qualifying date for the account.
(3) “The qualifying date” for the account is the first date on which there is paid into the account sums falling within subsection (4) which (in total) are more than £10 at a time when the credit balance of the account was £10 or less.
(4) A sum falls within this subsection if it is TRF capital.
(5) The individual may withdraw the nomination by giving a further notice to the Commissioners, specifying the date with effect from which the nomination is withdrawn.
(6) A notice under subsection (1) or (5) must be in writing and include such information as the Commissioners may reasonably require.
(7) A notice under subsection (1) or (5) must be given no later than—
(a) 31 January in the tax year following the tax year in which falls, as the case may be—
(i) the qualifying date for the account, or
(ii) the date with effect from which the nomination is withdrawn, or
(b) such later date as the Commissioners may allow.
(8) If an individual nominates an account under this section, the account is a “TRF capital account” of the individual throughout the period—
(a) beginning with the qualifying date, and
(b) ending with the date before the earliest of the following dates—
(i) the date on which the account is closed or ceases to be an ordinary bank account held by and for the benefit of the individual (alone or jointly with others);
(ii) the date with effect from which the nomination is withdrawn under this section;
(iii) 6 April in a tax year in which there is a breach of the TRF deposit rule which is not remedied or cannot be remedied.
(9) The account is not to be a TRF capital account at all if—
(a) at any time on the qualifying date, the account is not an ordinary bank account held by and for the benefit of the individual (alone or jointly with others), or
(b) immediately before the qualifying date, the account has a credit balance of more than £10.
(10) Where the account has a credit balance immediately before the qualifying date (which must be £10 or less), that balance is to be treated as TRF capital for the purposes of this Chapter.
(11) Where interest is payable on TRF capital held in the TRF capital account, any such interest paid into the account is to be treated as TRF capital for the purposes of this Chapter.
(12) The account is not to be a TRF capital account at all if the qualifying date falls in a tax year in which there is a breach of the TRF deposit rule which is not remedied or cannot be remedied.
(13) Subsection (8)(b)(iii) or (12) (as relevant) is to be ignored if the breach occurs on or after a date falling within subsection (8)(b)(i) or (ii).
(14) For the purposes of this section an account is an “ordinary bank account” if it is a cash account in a bank (whether a current or savings account) where sums standing to the credit of the account from time to time represent a debt owed by the bank to the account-holder.
(15) In this section, and in sections 809RZC and 809RZD, a reference to anything “paid into” an account includes anything credited to the account by whatever means.

809RZC Breaches of the TRF deposit rule
(1) There is a breach of the TRF deposit rule if one or more prohibited sums are paid into a TRF capital account on the qualifying date or any day after the qualifying date.
(2) A breach of the TRF deposit rule is remedied if, within 30 days beginning with the day on which the prohibited sums are paid into the account, the required amount is transferred out of the account by way of a single one-off qualifying transfer.
(3) A transfer is “qualifying” if it does not result in the remittance of any amount to the United Kingdom.
(4) “The required amount” is an amount equal to the total of the prohibited sums paid into the TRF capital account on the day of the breach.
(5) If there are 2 days in a tax year on which one or more breaches of the TRF deposit rule occur, subsection (2) does not apply to any breach on any subsequent day in the tax year (and accordingly any breach occurring on any day after the second day in the tax year on which there has been a breach cannot be remedied).
(6) A “prohibited sum” is anything other than a sum that is TRF capital.

809RZD Effect where 30-day deadline is met
(1) This section applies if the required amount in relation to a breach of the TRF deposit rule was transferred out of the account in accordance with section 809RZC(2).
(2) Sections 809Q and 809R have effect as if—
(a) the intervening transactions had never taken place, and
(b) each prohibited sum represented by the required amount had instead been transferred directly (at the time that sum was paid into the TRF capital account) into the account or other property into which the required amount was transferred by virtue of the single one-off qualifying transfer.
(3) Each of the following is an “intervening transaction”—
(a) each payment into the TRF capital account of a prohibited sum represented by the required amount, and
(b) the single one-off qualifying transfer out of the TRF capital account.

809RA Special mixed fund rules for certain employment cases
(1) This section applies if—
(a) an individual has general earnings from an employment for a tax year,
(b) those earnings include both general earnings within section 15(1) of ITEPA 2003 (“section 15(1) earnings”) and general earnings within section 26(1) of that Act (“section 26(1) earnings”),
(c) at least some of the section 15(1) earnings, or sums deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least some of the section 15(1) earnings, are paid into an account in that tax year at a time (a “relevant time”) when the account is a qualifying account of the individual, and
(d) at least some of the section 26(1) earnings, or sums deriving (wholly or in part, and directly or indirectly) from at least some of the section 26(1) earnings, are also paid into the account in that tax year at a relevant time.
(2) If this section applies, the composition of each transfer made from the account in that tax year at a relevant time is to be determined as follows—
Step 1 Suppose that all the condition A transfers made from the account in the tax year at a relevant time had been a single transfer made from the account at the end of the tax year.
Step 2 Suppose that all the other transfers made from the account in the tax year at a relevant time had been a single offshore transfer made at the end of the tax year immediately after the single transfer mentioned in step 1.
Step 3 Applying those suppositions—
(a) find under section 809Q(3) the extent to which the single transfer mentioned in step 1 is of the individual's income or chargeable gains, and
(b) find under section 809R(4) the content of the single offshore transfer mentioned in step 2.
Step 4 Each transfer made from the account in the tax year at a relevant time is to be treated as containing the specified proportion of each kind of income or capital contained in the relevant deemed transfer.“The specified proportion” is the amount of the transfer divided by the amount of the relevant deemed transfer.“The relevant deemed transfer” is—
(a) if the transfer is a condition A transfer, the single transfer mentioned in step 1, and
(b) otherwise, the single offshore transfer mentioned in step 2.
(3) Subsection (2) applies in determining the composition of a transfer for the purposes of sections 809Q and 809R but it does not otherwise affect the date on which a transfer is considered to occur for the purposes of this Chapter.
(4) If the tax year is the tax year in which the account becomes a qualifying account, for the purpose of applying section 809Q(3) in relation to the single transfer mentioned in step 1 of subsection (2), treat the part of the tax year falling before the qualifying date for the account as a separate tax year.
(5) If the account ceases to be a qualifying account of the individual during the tax year other than as a result of a breach of the deposit rule—

(a) if the potentially chargeable event is a disposal of a part of the holding (or a part of the remaining holding), a portion equal to the portion of the holding (or remaining holding) being disposed of, and
(b) otherwise, the whole of the investment.
(6A) Where—
(a) the income or gains mentioned in subsection (1)(a) include amounts designated as TRF capital (in a tax year after the tax year in which the investment is made), and
(b) the portion of the investment affected is less than the whole of the investment,
so much of the affected income or gains as does not exceed the amounts designated is to be treated as being comprised of the TRF capital.

(6B) Where section 809VO (investments made from mixed funds) applies, subsection (8) of that section applies for the purposes of determining the composition of the amount of the affected income or gains that is not treated as being comprised of TRF capital (referred to as the “relevant affected income and gains” in that subsection) as a result of—
(a) subsection (6A) of this section not applying, or
(b) that subsection only applying to a part of the affected income or gains.

(a) the target company enters into administration or receivership or is wound up or dissolved,
(b) the target company is an eligible stakeholder company or an eligible hybrid company and any eligible trading company in which it holds an investment enters into administration or receivership or is wound up or dissolved,

809VI The appropriate mitigation steps
(1) If the potentially chargeable event is a disposal of all or part of the holding, the appropriate mitigation steps are regarded as taken if the whole of the disposal proceeds have been taken offshore or re-invested.
(2) For any other case, the appropriate mitigation steps are regarded as taken if—
(a) P has disposed of the entire holding (or so much of it as P retains when the potentially chargeable event occurs), and
(b) the whole of the disposal proceeds have been taken offshore or re-invested.
(3) But —
(a) see also section 809VIA (which makes provision treating the disposal proceeds as reduced where TRF capital is involved), and
(b) if the disposal proceeds exceed X, subsections (1) and (2)(b) apply only to so much of the proceeds as is equal to X.

(4) “X” is—
(a) the sum originally invested, less
(b) so much of that sum as has, on previous occasions involving the same investment—
(i) been taken into account in determining the affected income or gains under section 809VG(2),
(ii) been taken offshore or re-invested in order to avoid the application of that section, or
(iii) been used to make a tax deposit without which the amount actually taken offshore or re-invested would not have been enough to satisfy subsection (1) or (2)(b) (see section 809VK).
(5) “The sum originally invested” means the amount of the money, or the market value of the other property, used to make the investment.
(6) Market value is to be assessed for these purposes as at the date of the relevant event (see section 809VA).
(7) Proceeds are “re-invested” if a relevant person uses them to make another qualifying investment (or the proceeds are themselves a qualifying investment) whether in the same or a different company.
(8) In cases where a breach of the extraction of value rule occurs in connection with the winding-up or dissolution of the target company—
(a) subsection (2)(a) does not apply,
(b) the reference in subsection (2)(b) to the disposal proceeds is to the value received, and
(c) references in this section and in succeeding provisions of the business investment provisions to the disposal proceeds are to be read as references to the value received.

809VIA Application of appropriate mitigation steps where TRF capital involved
(1) This section applies in relation to a potentially chargeable event where, if no appropriate mitigation steps were regarded as taken, an amount of TRF capital would (ignoring this section) be treated as remitted to the United Kingdom immediately after the end of the relevant grace period as a result of section 809VG(2).
(2) Where there has been a disposal of all or part of the holding (see section 809VI(1) or (2)(b)), so much of the proceeds of that disposal as are equal to that amount of TRF capital is to be regarded as comprising that TRF capital.
(3) Section 809VI has effect as if references in that section to the disposal proceeds did not include the TRF capital.
(4) Unless section 809VG(2) applies in relation to the potentially chargeable event, the TRF capital is to be treated as remitted to the United Kingdom at the time the potentially chargeable event occurred.

809VJ The grace period allowed for the appropriate mitigation steps
(1) The grace period allowed for the step mentioned in section 809VI(2)(a) is the period of 90 days beginning—
(a) if the potentially chargeable event is a breach of the extraction of value rule, with the day on which the value is received, and
(b) otherwise, with the day on which a relevant person first became aware or ought reasonably to have become aware of the potentially chargeable event.
(2) The grace period allowed for the step mentioned in section 809VI(1) and (2)(b) is the period of 45 days beginning with the day on which the disposal proceeds first became available for use by or for the benefit of P or any other relevant person.
(2A) But subsection (2B) applies instead of subsections (1) and (2) where the potentially chargeable event is a breach of the 5-year start-up rule by virtue of section 809VH(5)(b).

(3) An officer of Revenue and Customs may agree in a particular case to extend the grace period allowed for an appropriate mitigation step in exceptional circumstances.
(4) An officer of Revenue and Customs may agree in a particular case to extend the grace period allowed for an appropriate mitigation step in circumstances specified in regulations made by the Commissioners.
(5) Regulations under subsection (4) may have effect in relation to investments made before the day on which the regulations are made.
(6) Nothing in subsection (4) or in regulations made under it limits the power conferred by subsection (3).
(7) The powers conferred on officers of Revenue and Customs by subsections (3) and (4) include power to agree to extend a grace period for a length of time that is indefinite but is capable of becoming definite by means identified in the agreement (such as the satisfaction of conditions).

809VK Retention of funds to meet CGT liabilities
(1) This section applies if—
(a) there is a disposal of all or part of the holding,
(b) the disposal counts as a potentially chargeable event or is part of the appropriate mitigation steps taken in consequence of a potentially chargeable event,
(c) a chargeable gain (but not a loss) accrues to P on the disposal,
(d) P is chargeable to capital gains tax (but not corporation tax) in respect of that gain, and
(e) the actual disposal proceeds are less than Y.
(2) The difference between the actual disposal proceeds and Y is referred to in this section as “the shortfall”.
(3) “The actual disposal proceeds” means the disposal proceeds but disregarding section 809Z8(4).
(4) “Y” is the sum of—
(a) the amount (if any) that would, but for this section, be required to be taken offshore or re-invested in order to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b), and
(b) the amount found by applying the highest potential CGT rate to the amount (computed in accordance with TCGA 1992) of the chargeable gain accruing to P on the disposal.
(5) The highest potential CGT rate is the highest rate specified in section 1H of TCGA 1992 (regardless of the type of the chargeable gain or, if P is an individual, the rate of income tax at which P's income is chargeable).

(6) If this section applies, the amount that is required to be taken offshore or re-invested in order to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b) is reduced by the permitted amount.
(7) “The permitted amount” is so much of the shortfall as is used, within the grace period allowed for taking the disposal proceeds offshore or re-investing them, to make a deposit in respect of which a certificate of tax deposit is issued to P under section 12 of the National Loans Act 1968.
(8) A reduction may not be made under subsection (6) unless—
(a) when details of the deposit are confirmed to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the confirmation letter states that this section is intended to apply to the deposit, and
(b) the amount of the deposit is no greater than the shortfall.

809VL Effect of taking appropriate mitigation steps within grace period
(1) This section explains the effect for the purposes of this Chapter in cases where section 809VG(2) does not apply because the appropriate mitigation steps were taken within the grace period allowed for each step.
(2) If disposal proceeds were taken offshore as part of those steps, nothing in section 809VA(2) prevents anything subsequently done in relation to those proceeds (or anything deriving from them) from counting as a remittance of the underlying income or gains to the United Kingdom at the time when the thing is subsequently done.
(3) If disposal proceeds were re-invested as part of those steps—
(a) the underlying income or gains continue to be treated under section 809VA(2) as not remitted to the United Kingdom, and
(b) the business investment provisions apply to the re-investment as they apply to the original investment.
(4) In the application of the business investment provisions to the re-investment—
(a) treat the potentially chargeable event mentioned in section 809VG(1)(b) as the relevant event,
(b) treat the underlying income or gains as the income or gains treated under section 809VA(2) as not remitted to the United Kingdom as a result of the re-investment, and
(c) treat the amount used to make the re-investment as the sum originally invested.
(5) If the re-investment is made using more than the minimum amount of disposal proceeds required to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b)—
(a) that investment is to be treated as two separate investments, one made using the minimum amount of disposal proceeds and one made using the excess, and
(b) references in the business investment provisions to “the investment” and “the holding” relate only to the investment made using the minimum amount of disposal proceeds.
(6) “The underlying income or gains” means the affected income or gains (within the meaning of section 809VG) or, if one part of the disposal proceeds is taken offshore and the other part re-invested, a corresponding proportion of the affected income or gains.
(7) A further claim must be made in accordance with section 809VA in respect of the re-investment and, if no such claim is made on or before the first anniversary of the 31 January following the tax year in which the re-investment was made, section 809VG(2) applies, as respects the original investment, as if the appropriate mitigation steps had not been taken within the grace period allowed for each step.
(8) Section 809VM makes further provision in cases involving a tax deposit.

809VM Cases involving tax deposits
(1) This section applies in cases where—
(a) section 809VG(2) did not apply because the appropriate mitigation steps were taken within the grace period allowed for each step,
(b) the amount required to be taken offshore or re-invested in order to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b) had been reduced under section 809VK, and
(c) but for that reduction, the amount that was actually taken offshore or re-invested would not have been enough to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b).
(2) The tax deposit that gave rise to the reduction is referred to in this section as “the tax deposit”.
(3) Use of the tax deposit to pay the relevant tax liability does not count as remitting the underlying income or gains to the United Kingdom (and, accordingly, section 809VA(2) continues to apply to the income or gains).
(4) If any of the CTD conditions is breached, the underlying income or gains are to be treated as having been remitted to the United Kingdom immediately after the day on which the breach occurs.
(5) “The underlying income or gains” means such portion of the affected income or gains (within the meaning of section 809VG) as is—
(a) represented by the payment, in the case of subsection (3), or
(b) affected by the breach, in the case of subsection (4).
(6) The CTD conditions are as follows—
(a) the tax deposit must not be used to pay a tax liability other than the relevant tax liability,
(b) if any of the tax deposit is withdrawn by the depositor, the amount withdrawn must be taken offshore or re-invested within the period of 45 days beginning with the day on which the withdrawal was made, and
(c) any part of the tax deposit that has been neither used to pay a tax liability nor withdrawn by the due date must be withdrawn by the depositor and taken offshore or re-invested within the period of 45 days beginning with that date.
(7) Where the CTD conditions were not breached because the requisite amount was taken offshore or re-invested within the 45-day period mentioned in subsection (6)(b) or (c)—
(a) section 809VL applies to the amount taken offshore or re-invested as it applies to disposal proceeds, but
(b) read the reference in section 809VL(4)(a) to the potentially chargeable event as a reference to—
(i) the withdrawal, in a case within subsection (6)(b), and
(ii) the due date, in a case within subsection (6)(c).
(8) For the purposes of this section—
(a) “the relevant tax liability” means P's liability to capital gains tax for the tax year in which the disposal took place,
(b) “the due date” means the date by which the relevant tax liability is required to be paid,
(c) “re-invested” has the meaning given in section 809VI(7), and
(d) references to withdrawal include repayment for whatever reason.

809VN Order of disposals etc
(1) Subsection (2) applies if at any time income or chargeable gains of an individual are treated under section 809VA as not remitted to the United Kingdom as a result of—
(a) more than one qualifying investment made in the same target company,
(b) more than one qualifying investment made in companies in the same eligible trading group, or
(c) qualifying investments made in an eligible trading company and in an eligible stakeholder company or eligible hybrid company that holds investments in that trading company.

(c) that other investment is not a qualifying investment.
(4) In the application of section 809VG at that time—
(a) treat the investments and holdings as if they were a single investment and a single holding, and
(b) assume that a disposal of all or part of that deemed single holding is—
(i) a disposal of so much of the deemed single holding as is from any qualifying investments that were made using money or other property that is designated as TRF capital (in a tax year after the tax year in which the investment is made) to the extent those qualifying investments were made using that money or other property, and
(ii) if any of the deemed single holding remains after the disposal referred to in sub-paragraph (i), a disposal of a holding from qualifying investments until the holdings from all the qualifying investments have been disposed of.

809VO Investments made from mixed funds
(1) This section applies if—
(a) but for section 809VA(2), income or gains would have been remitted to the United Kingdom by virtue of a relevant event, and
(b) section 809Q (transfers from mixed funds) would have applied in determining the amount that would have been so remitted.
(2) The relevant event counts as an offshore transfer for the purposes of section 809R(4).
(3) The holding is to be treated as containing a proportion of each kind of income and capital contained in the invested property equal to the fixed proportion.
(4) The “fixed proportion” is, unless subsection (4B) applies, the proportion of that kind of income or capital contained in the invested property by virtue of subsection (2).

(4A) Subsection (4B) applies, instead of subsection (3), for determining the composition of the holding in connection with the application of subsections (7) and (8) where the holding contains TRF capital (as a result of the designation of income or capital in the holding as TRF capital in the tax year after the tax year in which the relevant event occurred).
(4B) Where this subsection applies, take the following steps to determine the composition of the holding in connection with the application of those subsections—
Step 1
Determine the amounts of each kind of income and capital that the holding was treated as containing by virtue of subsection (3).
Step 2
Reduce the amount of each kind of income and capital by the amount (if any) of that income or capital as is TRF capital.
(4C) Where subsection (4B) applies, the “fixed proportion” is the proportion of that kind of income or capital treated as contained in the invested property by virtue of that subsection (instead of subsection (2)).
(5) “The invested property” means the money or other property used to make the investment.

(b) section 809VM(4) does not apply because an amount is taken offshore or re-invested.
(7) The amount taken offshore, re-invested or used to make a tax deposit is treated, immediately after that step, as containing the fixed proportion (determined under subsection (4) or (4C) as the case may be) of each kind of income and capital contained in the holding.

(5) The references in subsections (3) and (4) to any income under the trust include a reference to any capital under the trust so far as it represents amounts originally received by the trustees as income.

812A Temporary non-residents
(1) This section applies if—
(a) an individual is temporarily non-resident,
(b) the individual's liability to income tax for a tax year is limited under section 811,
(c) that tax year (“the non-resident year”) falls within the temporary period of non-residence, and
(d) the individual's income for that tax year includes relevant investment income.
(2) The total income (see Step 1 of the calculation in section 23) on which the individual is charged to income tax for the year of return is to be increased by an amount equal to the amount of that relevant investment income.
(3) But the notional UK tax on that relevant investment income is to be allowed as a credit against the individual's liability to income tax for the year of return under Step 6 of the calculation in section 23.

(i) a material participator in that company, or
(ii) an associate of a material participator in the company.
(5) But income within subsection (4) in the form of a cash or stock dividend is not “relevant investment income” to the extent that the dividend is paid, or the share capital is issued, in respect of post-departure trade profits.
(6) “Post-departure trade profits” are—
(a) trade profits of the distributing company arising in an accounting period that begins after the start of the temporary period of non-residence, and
(b) so much of any trade profits of the distributing company arising in an accounting period that straddles the start of that temporary period as is attributable (on a just and reasonable basis) to a time after the start of that temporary period.
(7) The “notional UK tax” on relevant investment income is—
(a) the total of any sums in respect of that income that were included within amount A in determining the limit under section 811, less
(b) any credit for foreign tax paid in respect of that income that was allowed under Chapter 2 of Part 2 of TIOPA 2010 against the individual's liability to income tax for the non-resident year.
(8) The following matters are to be determined on a just and reasonable basis—
(a) the extent to which a dividend is paid, or share capital is issued, in respect of post-departure trade profits, and
(b) the extent to which a sum included within amount A is a sum in respect of relevant investment income.
(9) Nothing in any double taxation arrangements is to be read as preventing the individual from being chargeable to income tax by virtue of this section (or as preventing a charge to that tax from arising as a result).
(10) Part 4 of Schedule 45 to FA 2013 (statutory residence test: anti-avoidance) explains—
(a) when an individual is to be regarded as “temporarily non-resident”, and
(b) what “the temporary period of non-residence”, “the year of departure” and “the period of return” mean.

“relevant time” means—
(a) any time in the year of departure or, if the year of departure is a split year as respects the individual, the UK part of that year, or
(b) any time in one or more of the 3 tax years preceding that year;
“trade profits of the distributing company” means the profits of any trade carried on by the distributing company, as calculated in accordance with Part 3 of CTA 2009 (trading income);
“year of return” means the tax year consisting of or including the period of return.

(1) Income tax in respect of a section 946 payment is due, from the person who makes the payment, on the date by which the return on which the payment must be included is required to be delivered.
(2) The income tax due is equal to the sum which the person is required to deduct from the payment under the applicable provision mentioned in section 946.
(3) The income tax is payable by the person without an officer of Revenue and Customs making any assessment.

Set-off

952 Conditions for a set-off claim
(1) A person who makes a section 946 payment may make a set-off claim if conditions A and B are met at the end of a return period which falls within an accounting period of the person.
(2) Condition A is that in the return period the person has—
(a) made a section 946 payment, or
(b) received a payment on which the person has suffered income tax by deduction.
(3) Condition B is that at the end of the return period there is—
(a) a net amount of income tax suffered (see subsection (4)), and
(b) a net amount of income tax payable (see subsection (5)).
(4) There is a net amount of income tax suffered at the end of a return period if—
(a) the person has received any payments on which income tax has been suffered by deduction in the return period or in any previous return period which falls within the accounting period, and
(b) the amount of income tax so suffered by the person on those payments exceeds the amount of such income tax treated as repaid for the accounting period to date as a result of any previous set-off claim.
(5) There is a net amount of income tax payable at the end of a return period if—
(a) the person has made any section 946 payments in the return period or in any previous return period which falls within the accounting period, and
(b) the amount of income tax payable by the person in respect of those payments exceeds the amount of such income tax treated as paid for the accounting period to date as a result of any previous set-off claim.

953 How a set-off claim works
(1) A set-off claim is a claim for the net amount of income tax suffered at the end of the return period to be set off against the net amount of income tax payable at the end of the return period.
(2) The effect of a claim is that, to the extent of the set-off—
(a) the income tax comprised in the net amount of income tax suffered is treated as repaid, and
(b) the income tax comprised in the net amount of income tax payable is treated as paid.
(3) Accordingly—
(a) any liability of the person making the set-off claim to pay any of the income tax treated as paid under subsection (2)(b) is discharged, and
(b) any of that income tax which has been paid is to be repaid to the person.
(4) A set-off claim must be made in a return under section 949 for the return period.
(5) A return may be made under that section for the purposes of making a set-off claim despite the fact that the person making the claim may not have made any section 946 payments in the return period.
(6) Income tax suffered which is taken into account in a set-off claim may not also be taken into account for the purposes of—
(a) section 967 of CTA 2010 (income tax deducted from payments to UK resident company to be set off against corporation tax), or

(7) Income tax suffered by a deposit-taker is to be taken into account in a set-off claim only if the payment on which the income tax is suffered is to be taken into account in calculating the deposit-taker's liability to corporation tax.
“Deposit-taker” has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 (see section 853).

954 Proceedings begun after a set-off claim is made
(1) If a set-off claim has been made no proceedings for collecting income tax which would have to be discharged if the claim were allowed may be brought until the claim is finally determined.
(2) Subsection (1) does not affect the date when the income tax is due.
(3) Any income tax underpaid as a result of this section must be paid when the claim is finally determined.

(1) An individual is entitled to a tax reduction for a tax year in which a deficiency arises from a policy or contract on a chargeable event if—

(b) the individual would (apart from this section) be liable to income tax at the higher rate or the dividend upper rate (or both) for the tax year, and
(c) the individual makes a claim.
(2) The condition is that, if a gain had arisen instead on the chargeable event—
(a) the individual would have been liable to income tax on the gain for the year, or
(b) the individual would have been 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.
(3) The tax reduction is given effect at Step 6 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007.
(4) See section 540 for the cases in which a deficiency is treated as arising from a policy or contract on a chargeable event, section 541 for how the deficiency is calculated and section 469(5) for the apportionment of deficiencies in cases where two or more persons are interested in a policy or contract.
(5) The amount of the tax reduction is calculated as follows.
Step 1
Attribute to the amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual's income for the tax year which is liable at the dividend upper rate, so far as is possible.
Step 2
If there is an amount of the deficiency remaining after Step 1, attribute to the remaining amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual's savings income for the tax year which is liable at the higher rate, so far as is possible.
Step 3
If there is an amount of the deficiency remaining after Step 2, attribute to the remaining amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual's other income for the tax year which is liable at the higher rate, so far as is possible.
Step 4
Calculate the amount of the individual's preliminary income tax liability for the tax year (see subsection (6)).
Step 5
Calculate the amount of the individual's preliminary income tax liability for the tax year again, on these assumptions—
Assume that any income attributed to the deficiency at Step 1 is liable at the dividend ordinary rate.
Assume that any income attributed to the deficiency at Step 2 is liable at the savings rate.
Assume that any income attributed to the deficiency at Step 3 is liable at the basic rate.
Step 6
Deduct the amount found at Step 5 from the amount found at Step 4.
The result is the amount of the tax reduction.
(6) The individual's preliminary income tax liability is the amount found by calculating the individual's income tax liability in accordance with section 23 of ITA 2007, ignoring Steps 6 and 7 of that calculation.”
