and the body corporate has at any time carried on a trade which consists of or includes the conducting of any mutual business (whether confined to members of the body corporate or not), and is being or has been wound up or dissolved, the provisions of this section shall apply to the receipt.
(2)If a transfer or surrender of a right under subsection (1)(c) above is not at arm’s length, the person making the transfer or surrender shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed then to have received consideration equal to the value of the right.
(3)If in respect of a payment of any amount made to the body corporate for the purposes of its mutual business any deduction has been allowed for the purposes of tax in computing the [F1profits] or losses of a trade, then—
(a)if at the time of the receipt the recipient is the person, or one of the persons, carrying on that trade, the amount or value of the receipt shall be treated for the purposes of tax as a trading receipt of that trade; and
(b)if at the time of the receipt the recipient is not the person, or one of the persons, carrying on that trade, but was the person, or one of the persons, carrying on that trade when any payment was made to the body corporate for the purposes of its mutual business in respect of which a deduction was allowed for the purposes of tax in computing the [F1profits] or losses of the trade, the recipient shall, subject to subsection (6) below, be charged under Case VI of Schedule D for the chargeable period in which the receipt falls on an amount equal to the amount or value of the receipt.
(4)Subsection (3)(a) above applies notwithstanding that, as a result of a change in the persons carrying on the trade, the [F1profits] are under section 113 or 337(1) determined as if it had been permanently discontinued and a new trade set up and commenced.
(5)Where an individual is chargeable to tax by virtue of subsection (3)(b) above and the [F1profits] of the trade there mentioned fell to be treated as earned income for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts, the sums in respect of which he is so chargeable shall also be treated for those purposes as earned income.
(6)If the trade mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above was permanently discontinued before the time of the receipt, then in computing the charge to tax under subsection (3)(b) above there shall be deducted from the amount or value of the receipt—
(a)any loss, expense or debit (not being a loss, expense or debit arising directly or indirectly from the discontinuance itself) which, if the trade had not been discontinued, would have been deducted in computing for tax purposes the [F1profits] or losses of the person by whom it was carried on before the discontinuance, or would have been deducted from or set off against those profits as so computed, and
(b)any capital allowance to which the person who carried on the trade was entitled immediately before the discontinuance and to which effect has not been given by way of relief before discontinuance.
(7)Relief shall not be given under subsection (6) above or under section 105(1) in respect of any loss, expense, debit or allowance if and so far as it has been so given by reference to another charge to tax under this section or under section 103.
(8)For the purposes of subsection (1) above assets representing capital consist of—
(a)assets representing any loan or other capital subscribed, including income derived from any investment of any part of that capital, but not including profits from the employment of that capital for the purposes of the mutual business of the body corporate;
(b)assets representing any [F1profits] charged to tax as being [F1profits] of any part of the trade carried on by the body corporate which does not consist of the conducting of any mutual business;
(c)(so far as not comprised in paragraphs (a) and (b) above) assets representing taxed income from any investments.
(9)In this section “mutual business” includes any business of mutual insurance or mutual trading.
(10)Subsections (3) to (7) above shall apply with any necessary modifications—
(a)to a profession or vocation; and
(b)to the occupation of woodlands the profits or gains of which are assessable under Schedule D;
as they apply to a trade.
(11)It is hereby declared that the description of trades in subsection (1) above does not include any trade all the [F1profits] of which are chargeable to tax and, in particular, does not include such a trade carried on by any registered industrial and provident society.
