(1)Subject to this section a gain accruing on a disposal of an asset which is tangible movable property shall not be a chargeable gain if the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal does not exceed £6,000.
(2)Where the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal of an asset which is tangible movable property exceeds £6,000, there shall be excluded from any chargeable gain accruing on the disposal so much of it as exceeds five-thirds of the difference between—
(a)the amount or value of the consideration, and
(b)£6,000.
(3)Subsections (1) and (2) above shall not affect the amount of an allowable loss accruing on the disposal of an asset, but for the purposes of computing under this Act the amount of a loss accruing on the disposal of tangible movable property the consideration for the disposal shall, if less than £6,000, be deemed to be £6,000 and the losses which are allowable losses shall be restricted accordingly.
(4)If 2 or more assets which have formed part of a set of articles of any description all owned at one time by one person are disposed of by that person, and—
(a)to the same person, or
(b)to persons who are acting in concert or who are connected persons,
whether on the same or different occasions, the 2 or more transactions shall be treated as a single transaction disposing of a single asset, but with any necessary apportionments of the reductions in chargeable gains, and in allowable losses, under subsections (2) and (3) above.
(5)If the disposal is of a right or interest in or over tangible movable property—
(a)in the first instance subsections (1), (2) and (3) above shall be applied in relation to the asset as a whole, taking the consideration as including the market value of what remains undisposed of, in addition to the actual consideration,
(b)where the sum of the actual consideration and that market value exceeds £6,000, the part of any chargeable gain that is excluded from it under subsection (2) above shall be so much of the gain as exceeds five-thirds of the difference between that sum and £6,000 multiplied by the fraction equal to the actual consideration divided by the said sum, and
(c)where that sum is less than £6,000 any loss shall be restricted under subsection (3) above by deeming the consideration to be the actual consideration plus the said fraction of the difference between the said sum and £6,000.
(6)This section shall not apply—
(a)in relation to a disposal of commodities of any description by a person dealing on a terminal market or dealing with or through a person ordinarily engaged in dealing on a terminal market, or
(b)in relation to a disposal of currency of any description.

(1)This section applies where, in the case of any stock lending arrangement—
(a)the borrower (B) becomes insolvent after the lender (L) has transferred the securities,
(b)as a result of the insolvency, the requirement for B to make a transfer back to L will not be complied with as regards some or all of the securities,
(c)collateral is used (whether directly or indirectly) to enable L to acquire securities (“replacement securities”) of the same description as the securities which will not be transferred back, and
(d)the replacement securities are acquired before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which B becomes insolvent (“the insolvency date”).
(2)In accordance with section 263B(2), the transfer of the securities under the arrangement is not to be regarded as a disposal by L for the purposes of this Act (but this is subject to subsection (5)).
(3)B is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as having acquired the securities which will not be transferred back to L; and that acquisition is to be treated—
(a)as being made on the insolvency date, and
(b)as being for a consideration equal to their market value on that date.
(4)The acquisition of the replacement securities is to be treated, as regards L, as if it were a transfer back of securities in accordance with the arrangement (so that, in accordance with section 263B(2), that acquisition is not regarded as an acquisition by L for the purposes of this Act).
(5)If the number of replacement securities is less than the number of securities which B is treated as having acquired, L is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as having made a disposal, at the insolvency date, of the difference (“the deemed disposal”).
(6)The consideration for the deemed disposal is—
(a)where all the collateral is used to enable L to acquire replacement securities, nil, and
(b)where not all the collateral is so used, the difference between—
(i)the market value (at the insolvency date) of the number of securities which could have been acquired using the collateral, and
(ii)the market value (at that date) of the number of securities which were in fact so acquired.
(7)But if L at any time receives any amount (whether arising out of B's insolvency or otherwise) in respect of B's liability to L in respect of the securities which are treated under subsection (5) as having been disposed of by L that amount is to be treated as a chargeable gain accruing at that time to L.
(8)The liability mentioned in subsection (7) is not to be treated as giving rise to a relevant non-lending relationship for the purposes of Part 6 of CTA 2009 (relationships treated as loan relationships etc).
(9)For the purposes of this section, B becomes insolvent—
(a)if a company voluntary arrangement takes effect under Part 1 of the Insolvency Act 1986,
(b)if an administration application (within the meaning of Schedule B1 to that Act) is made or a receiver or manager, or an administrative receiver, is appointed,
(c)on the commencement of a creditor's voluntary winding up (within the meaning of Part 4 of that Act) or a winding up by the court under Chapter 6 of that Part,
(d)if an individual voluntary arrangement takes effect under Part 8 of that Act,
(e)on [F30bankruptcy application made or] the presentation of a bankruptcy petition (within the meaning of Part 9 of that Act),
(f)if a compromise or arrangement takes effect under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006,
(g)if a bank insolvency order takes effect under Part 2 of the Banking Act 2009,
(h)if a bank administration order takes effect under Part 3 of that Act, or
(i)on the occurrence of any corresponding event which has effect under or as a result of the law of Scotland or Northern Ireland or a country or territory outside the United Kingdom.
(10)In this section—
(a)“collateral” means an amount of money or other property which—
(i)is provided under the arrangement (or under arrangements of which the arrangement forms part), and
(ii)is payable to or made available for the benefit of L for the purpose of securing the discharge of the requirement to transfer any or all of the securities back to L, and
(b)any expression used in this section and in section 263B has the same meaning as in that section.]
