Reorganisations involving loan relationships
424
1
This section applies if—
a
sections 127 to 130 of TCGA 1992 (reorganisations: equation of original shares and new holding)—
i
apply in relation to a reorganisation, or
ii
would so apply but for section 116(5) of that Act (which disapplies those sections where the original shares or the new holding consists of or includes a qualifying corporate bond),
b
the original shares consist of or include an asset representing a loan relationship, and
c
either—
i
section 422 or 423 applies as a result of condition B in section 421 being met in relation to the transfer in the course of which the reorganisation occurs, or
ii
condition C in section 421 is met in relation to that transfer.
2
For the purposes of this Part such debits and credits are to be brought into account as would be brought into account if the reorganisation were a disposal of the asset representing the loan relationship for consideration of an amount equal to its notional carrying value.
3
For the purposes of this section, the notional carrying value of that asset is the amount which would have been its tax-adjusted carrying value based on the accounts of the original holder if a period of account had ended immediately before the date when the reorganisation occurred.
4
In this section—
...
- “original holder” means a person holding the original shares immediately before the reorganisation,
- “original shares” has the meaning given by section 126(1) of TCGA 1992 (application of sections 126 to 131 of that Act), and
- “reorganisation” includes anything to which sections 127 to 130 of that Act apply as if it were a reorganisation.
5
This section is subject to—
a
section 425 (original holder using fair value accounting), and
b
section 429 (disapplication of Chapter where transparent entities involved).
