(b)the amount which, apart from this paragraph, would be the part of the net amount referable to that category of business shall be—
(i)reduced by the part of the net amount attributable to distributions of companies resident in the United Kingdom relating to assets of the company’s overseas life assurance fund, and

(c)throughout the part of the period during which the assets are assets of the long term business fund they are either—

(d)it is appropriate having regard to all the circumstances (including a comparison between the relationship of the value of the assets of the overseas life assurance fund and the liabilities of the overseas life assurance business and that of the value of the assets of the long term business fund and the liabilities of the company’s long term business) that they be assets of the overseas life assurance fund,
they shall be assets of the overseas life assurance fund for the part of the period during which they are assets of the long term business fund.
3(1)Where the value of the assets mentioned in paragraph 2(1) above at the end of the period is less than the amount mentioned in paragraph 4 below (or where there are no assets within paragraph 2(1)), assets which—
(a)are assets of the long term business fund of the company at the end of the period,
(b)have a value at that time equal to the difference (or to that amount), and
(c)are designated in accordance with paragraph 5 below,
shall become assets of the overseas life assurance fund at the relevant time.

(a)where all of the liabilities of the long term business are linked liabilities, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the liabilities of the overseas life assurance business bears to the whole amount of the liabilities of the long term business,
(b)where any of the liabilities of the long term business are not linked liabilities but none (or none but an insignificant proportion) are with-profits liabilities, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the liabilities of the overseas life assurance business which are not linked liabilities bears to the whole amount of the liabilities of the long term business which are not linked liabilities, and
(c)in any other case, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the with-profits liabilities of the overseas life assurance business bears to the whole amount of the with-profits liabilities of the long term business;

(b)any charge in respect of such expenditure which falls to be so made shall be given effect by treating it as a receipt of that business for that period;
and sections 73, 144 and 145, and section 75(4) of the principal Act, shall not apply.”, and

Section 46.
1In this Schedule—
(a)“section 46 assets” means rights under authorised unit trusts and relevant interests in offshore funds which are assets of a company’s long term business fund;
(b)“linked section 46 assets” means section 46 assets which are linked assets;
(c)“relevant linked liabilities”, in relation to a company, means such of the liabilities of its basic life assurance business as are liabilities in respect of benefits under pre-commencement policies, being benefits to be determined by reference to the value of linked assets;
(d)“pre-commencement policies” means policies issued in respect of insurances made before 1st April 1990, but excluding policies varied on or after that date so as to increase the benefits secured or to extend the term of the insurance (any exercise of rights conferred by a policy being regarded for this purpose as a variation).
2(1)Where within two years after the end of an accounting period an insurance company makes a claim for the purpose in relation to the period, section 46(1) of this Act shall not apply at the end of the period to so much of any class of linked assets as it would otherwise apply to and as represents relevant linked liabilities.
(2)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above assets of any class shall be taken to represent relevant linked liabilities only to the extent that their value does not exceed the fraction set out in sub-paragraph (3) below of such of the company’s relevant linked liabilities as are liabilities in respect of benefits to be determined by reference to the value of assets of that class.
(3)The fraction referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above is—
where—
A is the amount at the end of 1989 of such of the company’s relevant linked liabilities as are liabilities in respect of benefits to be determined by reference to the value of linked section 46 assets;
B is the amount of the company’s relevant linked liabilities at that time;
C is the amount of the company’s relevant linked liabilities at the end of the accounting period for which the claim is made;
D is the amount at the end of that period of such of the company’s relevant linked liabilities as are liabilities in respect of benefits to be determined by reference to the value of linked section 46 assets.
3(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, paragraph 4 below applies where—
(a)after the end of 1989 an insurance company exchanges section 46 assets (“the old assets”) for other assets (“the new assets”) to be held as assets of the long term business fund,
(b)the new assets are not section 46 assets but are assets on the disposal of which any gains accruing would be chargeable gains,
(c)both the old assets and the new assets are linked solely to basic life assurance business, or both are neither linked solely to basic life assurance business or pension business nor assets of the overseas life assurance fund, and
(d)the company makes a claim for the purpose within two years after the end of the accounting period in which the exchange occurs.
(2)Sub-paragraph (1) above shall have effect in relation to old assets only to the extent that their amount, when added to the amount of any assets to which paragraph 4 below has already applied and which are assets of the same class, does not exceed the aggregate of—
(a)the amount of the assets of the same class included in the long term business fund at the beginning of 1990, other than assets linked solely to pension business and assets of the overseas life assurance fund, and
(b)110 per cent. of the amount of the assets of that class which represents any subsequent increases in the company’s relevant linked liabilities in respect of benefits to be determined by reference to the value of assets of that class.
(3)The reference in sub-paragraph (2)(b) above to a subsequent increase in liabilities is a reference to any amount by which the liabilities at the end of an accounting period ending after 31st December 1989 exceed those at the beginning of the period (or at the end of 1989 if that is later); and for the purposes of that provision the amount of assets which represents an increase in liabilities is the excess of—
(a)the amount of assets whose value at the later time is equivalent to the liabilities at that time, over
(b)the amount of assets whose value at the earlier time is equivalent to the liabilities at that time.
4Where this paragraph applies, the insurance company (but not any other party to the exchange) shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax on capital gains as if the exchange had not involved a disposal of the old assets or an acquisition of the new, but as if the old and the new assets were the same assets acquired as the old assets were acquired.
5References in paragraphs 3 and 4 above to the exchange of assets include references to the case where the consideration obtained for the disposal of assets (otherwise than by way of an exchange within paragraph 3(1)) is applied in acquiring other assets within six months after the disposal; and for the purposes of those paragraphs the time when an exchange occurs shall be taken to be the time when the old assets are disposed of.
6(1)This paragraph applies where at any time after the end of 1989 there is a transfer of long term business of an insurance company (“the transferor”) to another company (“the transferee”) in accordance with a scheme sanctioned by a court under section 49 of the [1982 c. 50.] Insurance Companies Act 1982.
(2)Where the transfer is of the whole of the long term business of the transferor, the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall have effect in relation to the assets of the transferee as if that business had at all material times been carried on by him.
(3)Where the transfer is of part of the long term business of the transferor, those provisions shall have effect in relation to assets of the transferor and the transferee to such extent as is appropriate.
(4)Any question arising as to the operation of sub-paragraph (3) above shall be determined by the Special Commissioners who shall determine the question in the same manner as they determine appeals; but both the transferor and the transferee shall be entitled to appear and be heard or to make representations in writing.
Section 48.

(1)Insurance companies: transfers of business.This section applies where there is a transfer of the whole or part of the long term business of an insurance company (“the transferor”) to another company (“the transferee”) in accordance with a scheme sanctioned by a court under section 49 of [1982 c. 50.] the Insurance Companies Act 1982.
(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, where this section applies section 267 above shall not be prevented from having effect in relation to any asset included in the transfer by reason that—
(a)the transfer is not part of a scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation,
(b)the condition in paragraph (c) of subsection (1) of that section is not satisfied, or
(c)the asset is within subsection (2) of that section;
and where section 267 above applies by virtue of paragraph (a) above the references in subsection (3A) of that section to the reconstruction or amalgamation shall be construed as references to the transfer.
(3)Section 267 above shall not have effect in relation to an asset by virtue of subsection (2) above unless—
(a)any gain accruing to the transferor—
(i)on the disposal of the asset in accordance with the scheme, or
(ii)where that disposal occurs after the transfer of business has taken place, on a disposal of the asset immediately before that transfer, and
(b)any gain accruing to the transferee on a disposal of the asset immediately after its acquisition in accordance with the scheme,
would be a chargeable gain which would form part of its profits for corporation tax purposes (and would not be a gain on which, under any double taxation arrangements having effect by virtue of section 788 of the Taxes Act 1988, it would not be liable to tax).”
2In section 127 of the [1989 c. 26.] Finance Act 1989, after subsection (3) (deemed disposal and reacquisition where a person ceases to carry on trade in United Kingdom through branch or agency) there shall be inserted—

4The following section shall be inserted after section 444 of the Taxes Act 1988—
(1)Subject to the following provisions of this section, this section applies where there is a transfer of the whole or part of the long term business of an insurance company (“the transferor”) to another company (“the transferee”) in accordance with a scheme sanctioned by a court under section 49 of the Insurance Companies Act 1982.
(2)Any expenses of management which (assuming the transferor had continued to carry on the business transferred after the transfer) would have been deductible by the transferor under sections 75 and 76 in computing profits for an accounting period following the period which ends with the day on which the transfer takes place shall, instead, be treated as expenses of management of the transferee (and deductible in accordance with those sections, as modified in the case of acquisition expenses by section 86(6) to (9) of the [1989 c. 26.] Finance Act 1989 and in the case of expenses to which subsection (6) or (7) of section 87 of that Act applies by that subsection).
(3)Any loss which (assuming the transferor had continued to carry on the business transferred after the transfer)—
(a)would have been available under section 436(3)(c) to be set off against profits of the transferor for the accounting period following that which ends with the day on which transfer takes place, or
(b)where in connection with the transfer the transferor also transfers the whole or part of any overseas life assurance business, would have been so available under section 441(4)(b),
shall, instead, be treated as a loss of the transferee (and available to be set off against profits of the same class of business as that in which it arose).
(4)Where acquisition expenses are treated as expenses of management of the transferee by virtue of subsection (2) above, the amount deductible for the first accounting period of the transferee ending after the transfer takes place shall be calculated as if that accounting period began with the day after the transfer.
(5)Where the transfer is of part only of the transferor’s long term business, subsection (2) or (3) above shall apply only to such part of any amount to which it would otherwise apply as is appropriate.
(6)Any question arising as to the operation of subsection (5) above shall be determined by the Special Commissioners who shall determine the question in the same manner as they determine appeals; but both the transferor and transferee shall be entitled to appear and be heard or to make representations in writing.
(7)Subject to subsection (8) below, this section shall not apply unless the transfer is effected for bona fide commercial reasons and does not form part of a scheme or arrangements of which the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, is avoidance of liability to corporation tax.
(8)Subsection (7) above shall not affect the operation of this section in any case where, before the transfer, the Board have, on the application of the transferee, notified the transferee that the Board are satisfied that the transfer will be effected for bona fide commercial reasons and will not form part of any scheme or arrangements such as are mentioned in that subsection; and subsections (2) to (5) of section 88 of the 1979 Act shall have effect in relation to this subsection as they have effect in relatioto subsection (1) of that section.”

(2)Where this section applies—
(a)there shall be made, in accordance with this Act, to or on the transferee (instead of the transferor) any such allowances and charges as would have fallen to be made to or on the transferor; and
(b)the amount of any such allowance or charge shall be computed as if everything done to or by the transferor had been done to or by the transferee (but so that no sale or transfer of assets which is made to the transferee by the transferor shall be treated as giving rise to any such allowance or charge).”
6In section 460 of the Taxes Act 1988, after subsection (10) there shall be inserted—
“(10A)Where at any time there is a transfer of the whole or part of the long term business of an insurance company to a friendly society in accordance with a scheme sanctioned by a court under section 49 of the Insurance Companies Act 1982, any life or endowment business which relates to contracts included in the transfer shall not thereafter be tax exempt life or endowment business for the purposes of this Chapter.”
