Section 754: The relief: the “old asset” and “other assets”
2045.This section introduces a form of roll-over relief enabling some or all of a credit arising under Chapter 4 of this Part on the realisation of an intangible fixed asset (including goodwill) to be deferred. It is based on paragraph 37 of Schedule 29 to FA 2002.
2046.Subsection (4) is new. The rules in this Chapter deal only with mainstream cases where, broadly, assets already within the intangible fixed assets regime are replaced in arm’s length transactions by a single company by assets that, on acquisition, are also within the regime. This is the simplest case. Subsection (4) gives a signpost to additional, more complex, rules that deal with those cases involving group company and related party transactions as well as transitional interaction with the capital gains rules.
