3 U.K. For subsection (1) of section 153 (assets only partly replaced) substitute—

“(1) If—

(a) an amount that is less than the deemed sale consideration is applied by company A in acquiring other assets, or an interest in other assets (“the new assets”),

(b) the difference between the deemed sale consideration and the amount so applied (“the shortfall”) is less than the amount of the gain (whether all chargeable gain or not) accruing on the deemed sale,

(c) the conditions in paragraphs (a), (b), (d) and (e) of section 152(1) are satisfied, and

(d) company A makes a claim as respects the amount applied as mentioned in paragraph (a) above,

company A shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as if the amount of the gain accruing as mentioned in paragraph (b) above were reduced to the same amount as the shortfall (with a proportionate reduction, if not all of that gain is chargeable gain, in the amount of the chargeable gain).

(1A) Where subsection (1) applies, company A shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as if the amount or value of the consideration for the acquisition of, or of the interest in, the new assets were reduced by the amount by which the gain is reduced (or as the case may be the amount by which the chargeable gain is proportionately reduced) under that subsection.

(1B) Subsection (1) does not affect the value at which company A is treated by virtue of section 179 as having reacquired the relevant asset.

(1C) Subsection (1A) does not affect the treatment for the purposes of this Act of the other party to the transaction involving the new assets.”.]
