(b)the end of the period of four years beginning with the time the scheme ceases to invest;

(c)the end of the period of—

(i)four years beginning with the day on which the sum of carried interest arises to the individual, or

(e)the time at which Condition C in section 809FZS(5) ceases to be met.

(2)Carried interest which ceases to be conditionally exempt from income tax is to be treated as having been income-based carried interest at the time it arose to the individual if or to the extent that, had it arisen to the individual at the time it ceased to be conditionally exempt (but in relation to the same relevant investments) it would have been income-based carried interest.

(4)Any amount paid by way of capital gains tax in respect of carried interest which is conditionally exempt from income tax is to be treated as if it had been paid in respect of any income tax liability arising under subsection (2).]
