(b) section 90 of TCGA 1992 applies in relation to the transfer,

(c) the trustees of the transferor settlement have made an election under paragraph 126(1),

(d) by virtue of the matching of a capital payment with the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for the tax year 2008-09 or any subsequent tax year (“the relevant tax year”), chargeable gains are treated under section 87 or 89(2) of, or paragraph 8 of Schedule 4C to, TCGA 1992 as accruing to an individual in a tax year, and

(e) the individual is resident, but not domiciled, in the United Kingdom in that year.

(2) If the trustees of the transferee settlement have made an election under paragraph 126(1), paragraph 126(7) to (9) have effect in relation to the transferee settlement for that year as if the reference in paragraph 126(9) to relevant assets included relevant assets within the meaning of this paragraph.

(3) If the trustees of the transferee settlement have not made an election under paragraph 126(1), the individual is not charged to capital gains tax on so much of the chargeable gains mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d) above as exceeds the relevant proportion of those gains.

(4) The relevant proportion is—

where—

A is what would be the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for the relevant tax year, if immediately before 6 April 2008 every relevant asset had been sold by the company concerned and immediately re-acquired by it at the market value at that time, and

B is the section 2(2) amount for the transferee settlement for the relevant tax year.

(5) For the purposes of this paragraph an asset is a “relevant asset” if—

(a) by reason of the asset, chargeable gains are treated under section 13 of TCGA 1992 as accruing to the trustees of the transferee settlement in the relevant tax year,

(b) the company to which the chargeable gains actually accrue has owned the asset from the beginning of 6 April 2008 until the time of the event giving rise to those chargeable gains,

(c) had the company disposed of the asset at any time in the relevant period, part of the chargeable gains (if any) accruing on the disposal would have been treated under section 13 of TCGA 1992 as accruing to—

(i) the trustees of the transferor settlement (if the disposal had been made before the transfer), or

(ii) the trustees of the transferee settlement (if it had not).

(6) In sub-paragraph (5)(c) “the relevant period” means the period beginning at the beginning of 6 April 2008 and ending immediately before the event giving rise to the chargeable gains.

(7) Sub-paragraphs (13) to (18) of paragraph 126 apply for the purposes of this paragraph (with such modifications as are necessary) as they apply for the purposes of that paragraph.
