(1)The charge under section 727 also applies for the purpose of preventing the avoiding of a liability to taxation by means of a relevant transfer carried out by a closely-held company in which an individual has a qualifying interest.
(2)But the charge only applies in those circumstances if—

(a)the closely-held company, or

(4)For the purposes of this section, an individual with a qualifying interest in a company is to be treated as being involved in the company unless the individual satisfies an officer of Revenue and Customs that neither the individual nor (in a case where the individual is not the relevant participator) the relevant participator has any direct or indirect involvement in the decision making of the company.
(5)The avoidance condition is met if—
(a)the relevant participator did not object to the making of the relevant transfer, and

(8)Any arrangements that would result in the avoidance condition not being met are to be disregarded if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to secure that the avoidance condition is not met.
(9)In this section—
“arrangements” include any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable);
