[F106 (2) There shall be taken into account as receipts of a period of account amounts (so far as referable to that business) brought into account for the period of account as—

(b) an increase in the value of non-linked assets,

(c) an increase in the value of linked assets, F107 ...

[F109 (2ZA) Amounts brought into account as mentioned in subsection (2) above are not to be taken into account in any other way; and this subsection applies in spite of—

(a) section 80(5) of the Finance Act 1996 (taxation of loan relationships),

[F111 (a) comprises notional income for the period of account (see subsections (2AA) and (2AB)),

(aa) represents an inter-fund transfer (see subsections (2AC) and (2AD)),]

[F114 (2AA) For the purposes of subsection (2A)(a) above, an amount brought into account as mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (2) above for a period of account is to be regarded as notional income for the period of account if—

(a) it represents income which has not been received, and is not receivable, from another person, and

(b) a corresponding notional expense of the same amount is brought into account in the period of account;

and where particular income falls to be regarded as notional income under this subsection, the notional expense by virtue of which that income falls to be so regarded may not be taken into account for determining whether any other income is to be so regarded.

(2AB) In subsection (2AA) above “notional expense” means an expense which has not been paid, and is not payable, to another person and which—

(a) is not deductible in computing the profits of the company in respect of its life assurance business in accordance with the provisions of the Taxes Act 1988 applicable to Case I of Schedule D, but

(b) had it represented an amount paid or payable to another person, would have been so deductible.

(2AC) For the purposes of subsection (2A)(aa) above, where—

(a) one or more inter-fund transfers (“transfers-in”) are made into a fund and one or more inter-fund transfers (“transfers-out”) are made out of the fund, and

(i) the amount or aggregate amount of the transfers-in, exceeds

(ii) the amount or aggregate amount of the transfers-out,

only the amount of that excess shall be taken to represent the transfers-in.

(2AD) In this section “inter-fund transfer” means a transfer between two funds which in the company’s periodical return is shown in, or included in amounts shown in, line 14 or 33 of the Forms 58 for the funds.]

F118 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(2C) Assets transferred to discharge liabilities in respect of deposits received from reinsurers or arising out of insurance operations, debenture loans or amounts borrowed from credit institutions are included in subsection (2B) above only if the deposits, loans or amounts borrowed—

(a) were brought into account for any period of account, but

(b) were not taken into account as receipts of the period of account under subsection (2) above.

(2D) Assets are excluded from subsection (2B) above if they are transferred for at least their fair value and the consideration for their transfer, when received, forms part of the company’s long-term insurance fund.

(a) assets of the company’s long-term insurance fund are transferred by the company to another person (“the transferee”),

(b) the transferee assumes, as a result of the transfer, a liability representing a debenture loan which, immediately before the transfer, was a liability of that fund, and

(c) the liability does not, as a result of the transfer, become a liability of any long-term insurance fund of the transferee,

so much of the fair value of the assets as does not exceed the fair value of the liability is excluded from subsection (2B) above.]

[F128 83XA Structural assets U.K.

(1) Section 83(2) does not require to be taken into account as receipts or expenses of a period of account income from, or an increase or a decrease in the value of, structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1) above—

(a) an increase in the value of structural assets includes any amount by which their fair value when they cease to be structural assets, or come to be held otherwise than in any of the company's non-profit funds, exceeds their admissible value at the end of the preceding period of account, and

(b) a decrease in the value of structural assets includes any amount by which the admissible value of the assets at the end of the period of account in which they become structural assets, or come to be held in any of the company's non-profit funds, is less than their historic cost.

(3) In this section “structural assets” means—

(a) shares, debts and loans the value of which is required to be entered in lines 21 to 24 of Form 13 in the periodical return (UK insurance dependants and other insurance dependants), and

(b) assets of such other descriptions as are specified by regulations made by the Treasury.

(4) Where a structural asset held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund ceases to be a structural asset or comes to be held otherwise than in any of the company's non-profit funds and, immediately before it came to be a structural asset held in any of the company's non-profit funds it (or any part of it) was an asset of the company's long-term insurance fund, the relevant value difference is to be taken into account under section 83(2)—

(a) as a receipt (if it is a positive amount), or

(b) as an expense (if it is a negative amount),

of the relevant period of account.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) above “the relevant value difference”, in relation to an asset, is—

HC - AV

where—

HC is its historic cost, and

AV is its admissible value at the relevant time.

(6) In subsection (4) above “the relevant period of account” means—

(a) in a case within paragraph (a) of that subsection, the period of account in which the asset ceases to be a structural asset or comes to be held otherwise than in any of the company's non-profit funds, and

(b) in a case within paragraph (b) of that subsection, the period of account in which the asset first comes to be held otherwise than by the company or (where the company is a member of a group) otherwise than by a company which is a member of the group;

and section 170 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (meaning of “group” etc) has effect for the interpretation of this subsection.

(7) In subsection (5) above “the relevant time” means—

(a) in a case where assets become structural assets held in any of the company's non-profit funds by virtue of the commencement of this section, the end of the last period of account of the company beginning before 1st January 2007, and

(b) otherwise, the time when the assets become structural assets held in any of the company's non-profit funds.

(8) In this section “historic cost”, in relation to an asset which is or has been held in any of the company's non-profit funds, means—

(a) where the asset came to be held in any of the company's non-profit funds on acquisition from another person, the consideration given by the company for the acquisition of the asset, and

(b) otherwise, its fair value when it came to be held in any of the company's non-profit funds.

(9) In this section “admissible value”, in relation to an asset and a time, means the value of the asset as shown in column 1 of Form 13 of the periodical return for the period ending with that time (or as would be so shown if there were a periodical return covering a period ending with that time).

(10) Regulations made by the Treasury may make provision for computing for the purposes of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 any gain or loss arising on a disposal by an insurance company of a structural asset held in a non-profit fund in any case where the condition in subsection (11) is met.

(11) The condition in this subsection is met if, in any period of account of the company in which the asset was held by it—

(a) income arising from the asset was (or, had there been any, would have been) referable to any category of long-term business the profits of which fell for that period of account to be computed in accordance with the provisions applicable to Case I of Schedule D, or

(b) the company was charged to tax on the profits of its life assurance business under Case I of Schedule D.

(12) Structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund are to be treated as being within paragraph (f) of subsection (4) of section 440 of the Taxes Act 1988; but no disposal or re-acquisition is to be deemed to occur by virtue of an asset ceasing to be within any other paragraph of that subsection and coming within that paragraph on becoming such a structural asset.

(13) Structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund are to be treated as being “remaining” securities within section 440A(2)(e) of the Taxes Act 1988.

(14) Section 432A of the Taxes Act 1988 does not have effect in relation to income arising from, or gains and losses accruing on the disposal of, structural assets held by an insurance company in a non-profit fund.

(15) Regulations under subsection (3) or (10) above may be made so as to have effect in relation to periods of account current when they are made (as well as periods of account beginning later).]

(7) For the purposes of this section a company has a transfer-in amount for any period of account (“the previous period of account”) if [F130 a transfer takes place in the following period of account; and the amount of the transfer-in amount for the previous period of account is any amount by which—

(a) the fair value of such of the assets of the long-term insurance fund of the company immediately after the transfer as were assets of the transferor's long-term insurance fund immediately before the transfer, exceeds

(1) For the purposes of section 83YA, the appropriate line 51 amount of a non-profit company for any period of account is determined as follows.

Step 1

Find the company's basic line 51 amount for the period of account.

Step 2

Reduce that amount (but not below nil) by the amount of any unrecognised capital amount of the company for the period of account.

But this step applies only if the period of account for which the appropriate line 51 amount of the company is being determined is the current period of account for the purposes of section 83YA.

Step 3

(3) For the purposes of step 2, the company has an unrecognised capital amount for any period of account if—

(a) any assets (“the added assets”) become assets of its long-term insurance fund but do not become assets of any of its with-profits funds,

(b) the consideration for the acquisition of the added assets does not comprise any assets which, immediately before the acquisition, were assets of its long-term insurance fund,

(c) no amount is shown in respect of the added assets in any of lines 17 to 41 of Form 14 of its periodical return in respect of the whole of its long-term business for the period of account, and
