(b)the time at which by virtue of subsection (4) or (8) of that section the gain is treated as accruing is after commencement.
(2)Part 7 applies in accordance with this paragraph with the adaptations specified in paragraph 130(2) and the following further adaptations (which correspond to those in paragraph 65)—
(a)in paragraph 38 (conditions to be met in relation to the old asset), for the references to the old asset being a chargeable intangible asset throughout the period during which it was held by the company substitute a reference to its being a chargeable asset within the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (c. 12) throughout the period during which it was held by the company referred to in section 179 of that Act as company B;
(b)in paragraph 39(1) (conditions to be met in relation to expenditure on other assets), for the references to the date of realisation of the old asset substitute references to—
(i)in a case within subsection (3) of section 179 of that Act, the time at which the gain is treated as accruing under subsection (4) of that section, and
(ii)in a case within subsection (6) of that section, the time at which the gain is treated as accruing under subsection (8) of that section;
(c)references to the proceeds of realisation shall be read as references to the amount of the consideration for which the company is treated under that Act as having sold and reacquired the asset.
(3)Paragraph 130(3) (meaning of “chargeable asset") applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(a) of this paragraph.
(4)Paragraph 93 (exclusion of roll-over relief in case of part realisation involving related party) does not apply in a case where Part 7 applies by virtue of this paragraph.
(5)A company entitled to relief under Part 7 by virtue of this paragraph is treated for the purposes of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 as if the consideration for the disposal of the old asset were reduced by the amount available for relief.
This does not affect the treatment for any purpose of the Taxes Acts of the other party to any transaction involved in the disposal of the old asset or the expenditure on other assets.
