(a)beginning with the incorporation of the company or, if later, 12 months before the shares in question were issued, and

(b)ending with the date of the disposal.

135Subscriptions for shares

(1)This section has effect in relation to shares to which EIS relief is not attributable.

(2)An individual subscribes for shares in a company if they are issued to the individual by the company in consideration of money or money’s worth.

(3)If—

(a)an individual (“A”) subscribed for, or is treated under subsection (4) or this subsection as having subscribed for, any shares,

(b)A transferred the shares to another individual (“B”) during their lives, and

(c)A was B’s spouse or civil partner at the time of the transfer,

B is treated as having subscribed for the shares.

(4)If—

(a)an individual has subscribed for, or is treated under subsection (3) or this subsection as having subscribed for, any shares, and

(b)any corresponding bonus shares are subsequently issued to the individual,

the individual is treated as having subscribed for the bonus shares.

136Disposals of new shares

(1)This section has effect in relation to shares to which EIS relief is not attributable.

(2)If—

(a)an individual disposes of shares (“the new shares”), and

(b)the new shares are, by virtue of section 127 of TCGA 1992 (reorganisation etc treated as not involving disposal), identified with other shares (“the old shares”) previously held by the individual,

the individual is not eligible for share loss relief on the disposal of the new shares unless one of conditions A and B is met.

This is subject to section 145(3).

(3)Condition A is that the individual would have been eligible for share loss relief on a disposal of the old shares—

(a)if the individual had incurred an allowable loss in disposing of them by way of a bargain made at arm’s length on the occasion of the disposal that would have occurred but for section 127 of TCGA 1992, and

(b)where applicable, if this Chapter had then been in force.

(4)Condition B is that the individual gave for the new shares consideration in money or money’s worth other than consideration of the kind mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of section 128(2) of TCGA 1992 (“new consideration”).

(5)If the individual relies on condition B, the amount of share loss relief on the disposal of the new shares must not exceed the amount or value of the new consideration taken into account as a deduction in calculating the amount of the loss incurred on the disposal.
