Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005

512 Available premium left for relevant transaction U.K.

(1) For the purposes of section 511(2), the amount of available premium left for a relevant transaction is the amount, if any, by which the available net allowable payments (see subsection (3)) exceed the available net total values for the year (see subsection (4)).

(2) But the amount of available premium left for the relevant transaction is nil if—

(a) one or more other relevant transactions have occurred in respect of the relevant contract earlier in the insurance year, and

(b) for the latest of them the calculation in section 511(2) produced a gain.

(3) To calculate the available net allowable payments—

Step 1

Calculate the net total allowable payments as at the end of the insurance year in accordance with section 507(5).

Step 2

If—

(a)  one or more other relevant transactions (“the earlier transactions”) have occurred in respect of the policy or contract earlier in the insurance year, and

(b)  for the latest of them the calculation in section 511(2) produced no gain,

subtract the sum of the transaction values for the earlier transactions from the result of step 1.

(4) To calculate the available net total values for the year—

Step 1

Calculate the net total value of rights surrendered or assigned, as at the end of the insurance year, in accordance with section 507(4), ignoring for the purposes of step 3 in that section any relevant transactions in that year that are treated as chargeable events under section 514.

Step 2

Subtract from the result of step 1 the value, as at the time of its surrender or assignment, of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract which has been surrendered in the insurance year or assigned in that year for money or money's worth, determining the value in accordance with section 508.
