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

For the purposes of section 631(1) (amount of accrued income profits where settlement day outside interest period) the amount of the unrealised interest is taken to be its sterling equivalent on the settlement day.
3
For the purposes of sections 660 (transfers with unrealised interest: interest in default) and 661 (successive transfers with unrealised interest in default), the value on any day of the right to receive unrealised interest is the sterling equivalent on that day of that value in the foreign currency.
4
For the purposes of those sections unrealised interest received in a foreign currency is taken to be the sterling equivalent on the day of receipt of the amount received.
5
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.
