(1)Condition 2 is that the share—
(a)is redeemable (see subsection (2)),
(b)is designed to produce a return which equates, in substance, to the return on an investment of money at a commercial rate of interest, and
(c)is not an excepted share (see subsection (3)).
(2)For the purposes of this section, a share is to be regarded as redeemable only if it is redeemable as a result of its terms of issue (or any collateral agreements, arrangements or understandings)—
(a)requiring redemption,
(b)entitling the holder to require redemption, or
(c)entitling the issuer to redeem.
(3)A share is an “excepted share” for the purposes of this section if—
(a)it is a qualifying publicly issued share (see subsections (4) and (5)),
(b)it is a share that mirrors a public issue (see subsections (6) to (8)), or
(c)the investing company's purpose in acquiring the share is not an unallowable purpose (see subsection (9)).
(4)A share is a “qualifying publicly issued share” for the purposes of this section if—
(a)it was issued by a company as part of an issue of shares to independent persons, and
(b)less than 10% of the shares in that issue are held by the investing company or persons connected with it.
(5)But a share is not a qualifying publicly issued share for those purposes if the investing company's purpose in acquiring the share is an unallowable purpose by virtue of subsection (9)(a) below.
(6)The cases where a share mirrors a public issue are those set out in subsections (7) and (8) below.
(7)Case 1 is where—
(a)a company (company A) issues shares (the public issue) to independent persons,
(b)within 24 hours of that issue, one or more other companies (companies BB) issue shares (the mirroring shares) to company A on the same, or substantially the same, terms as the public issue,
(c)company A and companies BB are associated companies (see subsection (11)), and
(d)the total nominal value of the mirroring shares does not exceed the nominal value of the public issue,
and in any such case the mirroring shares are shares that mirror a public issue.
(8)Case 2 is where, in the circumstances of Case 1,—
(a)within 24 hours of the public issue, one or more other companies (companies CC) issue shares (the second-level mirroring shares) to one or more of companies BB on the same, or substantially the same, terms as the public issue,
(b)company A, companies BB and companies CC are associated companies, and
(c)the total nominal value of the second-level mirroring shares does not exceed the nominal value of the public issue,
and in any such case the second-level mirroring shares are also shares that mirror a public issue.
(9)For the purposes of this section, a share is acquired by the investing company for an unallowable purpose if the purpose, or one of the main purposes, for which the company holds the share is—
(a)the purpose of circumventing section 95 of the Taxes Act 1988 (see subsection (10)), or
(b)any other purpose which is a tax avoidance purpose (see subsection (11)).
(10)The purpose, or one of the main purposes, for which the investing company holds a share shall, in particular, be taken to be the purpose of circumventing section 95 of the Taxes Act 1988 (taxation of dealers in respect of distributions etc) if the investing company was an associated company of a bank (see subsection (11)) at the time when the investing company acquired the share, unless the investing company shows that—
(a)immediately before that time, some or all of its business consisted in making and holding investments, and
(b)it acquired the share in the ordinary course of that business.
(11)In this section—
“associated company”, in relation to any other company, means a company which, within the meaning given by section 413(3)(a) of the Taxes Act 1988, is a member of the same group of companies as that other company;
“bank” has the meaning given by section 840A of the Taxes Act 1988;
“independent person”, in relation to a company, means a person who is not connected with the company;
“tax advantage” has the meaning given by section 709(1) of the Taxes Act 1988;
“tax avoidance purpose”, in the case of any company, means any purpose that consists in securing a tax advantage (whether for the company or any other person).
(12)Section 839 of the Taxes Act 1988 (connected persons) applies for the purposes of this section.
(13)This section is to be construed as one with section 91B above.]
