[F6 (5ZA) None of the securities which, by virtue of subsection (5) above, are identified with other securities shall be regarded as forming part of an existing section 104 holding or as constituting a section 104 holding.]

(a) he is [F8 not resident] in the United Kingdom, or

(b) he is resident F9 ... in the United Kingdom but is Treaty non-resident.]

(6) Subject to subsections (4) and (5) above, [F10 relevant] securities disposed of shall be identified with [F10 relevant] securities acquired at a later time, rather than with [F10 relevant] securities acquired at an earlier time.

[F11 (6A) Subject to subsections (4) and (5) above, a company's shares which are disposed of shall be identified—

(b) with relevant EMI shares acquired at an earlier time rather than with relevant EMI shares acquired at a later time.

(6B) No shares identified with relevant EMI shares by virtue of subsection (6A)(a) or (b) above shall be regarded as forming part of an existing section 104 holding or as constituting a section 104 holding.]
