(a) a gain or loss would accrue to a person on a disposal of a UK residential property interest deemed to have been made by virtue of section 25(3), and

(b) on the assumptions in subsection (2), that gain or loss would be an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB).

(2) The assumptions are—

(a) the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal, and

(b) if the person is a company, any claim which the company could make under section 14F is made.

(3) No gain or loss accrues to the person on that disposal.

(4) But, on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), the whole or a corresponding part of the gain or loss which would have accrued to the person were it not for subsection (3)—

(a) is deemed to accrue to the person (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that subsequent disposal), and

(b) (if that would not otherwise be the case) is to be treated as an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D accruing on a non-resident CGT disposal.

(5) A person may make an election for subsections (3) and (4) not to apply in relation to the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a).

(7) In this section, “interest in UK land” has the meaning given by paragraph 2 of Schedule B1.”

14 U.K. After section 48 insert—

“48A Unascertainable consideration

(1) This section applies where—

(a) a person (“P”) has made a non-resident CGT disposal in relation to which there accrued to P an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D or 188D (“the original disposal”),

(b) P acquired a right as the whole or part of the consideration for that disposal,

(c) on P's acquisition of the right, there was no corresponding disposal of it, and

(d) the right is a right to unascertainable consideration (see subsections (4) to (6)).

(2) If P subsequently receives consideration (“the ascertained consideration”) representing the whole or part of the consideration referred to in subsection (1)(d) and condition A in section 14B would have been met in relation to the original disposal had a gain on that disposal accrued at the time of the receipt of the ascertained consideration—

(a) the ascertained consideration is treated as not accruing on the disposal of the right,

(b) the costs of P's acquisition of the right (or, in the case of a part disposal of the right, those costs so far as referable to the part disposed of) are taken to be nil, and

(c) the following steps are taken.

• Step 1 Any amount by which the ascertained consideration exceeds the relevant original consideration is treated as consideration (or further consideration) accruing on the original disposal. If the relevant original consideration exceeds the ascertained consideration, the consideration accruing on the original disposal is treated as reduced by the amount of the excess.

• Step 2 Compute the difference that the adjustment under step 1 makes to what (if any) NRCGT gain or loss, ATED-related gain or loss or other gain or loss accrues on the original disposal (computing this separately for each type of gain or loss). The difference is “positive” if a loss is decreased (to nil or otherwise) or a gain created or increased. The difference is “negative” if a gain is reduced (to nil or otherwise) or a loss created or increased.

• Step 3 Any positive amount computed under step 2 is treated for the purposes of this Act and the Management Act as a gain (of the type appropriate to the computation) accruing to P at the time of the receipt of the ascertained consideration. Any negative amount computed under step 2 is treated for the purposes of this Act and the Management Act as a loss (of the type appropriate to the computation) accruing to P at the time of the receipt of the ascertained consideration.

(3) In step 1 in subsection (2), “the relevant original consideration” means the consideration accruing on the original disposal, so far as referable to the right mentioned in subsection (1)(b) (or, in the case of a part disposal of the right, referable to the part disposed of).

(4) A right is a right to unascertainable consideration if, and only if—

(a) it is a right to consideration the amount or value of which is unascertainable at the time when the right is conferred, and

(b) that amount or value is unascertainable at that time on account of its being referable, in whole or in part, to matters which are uncertain at that time because they have not yet occurred.

This subsection is subject to subsections (5) and (6).

(5) The amount or value of any consideration is not to be regarded as being unascertainable by reason only—

(a) that the right to receive the whole or any part of the consideration is postponed or contingent, if the consideration or, as the case may be, that part of it is, in accordance with section 48, brought into account in the computation of the gain accruing to a person on the disposal of an asset, or

(b) in a case where the right to receive the whole or any part of the consideration is postponed and is to be, or may be, to any extent satisfied by the receipt of property of one description or property of some other description, that some person has a right to select the property, or the description of property, that is to be received.

(6) A right is not to be taken to be a right to unascertainable consideration by reason only that either the amount or the value of the consideration has not been fixed, if—

(a) the amount will be fixed by reference to the value, and the value is ascertainable, or

(b) the value will be fixed by reference to the amount, and the amount is ascertainable.”

15 U.K. In section 57A (gains and losses on relevant high value disposals), after subsection (2) insert—

(b) NRCGT gains (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB).”

(3) After subsection (2A) insert—

“(2AA) Where allowable NRCGT losses (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) are sustained by an individual in the year of assessment in which the individual dies, the losses may, so far as they cannot be deducted from chargeable gains accruing to the individual in that year, be deducted from any gains such as are mentioned in subsection (2A)(b) that accrued to the deceased in the 3 years of assessment preceding the year of assessment in which the death occurs, taking chargeable gains accruing in a later year before those accruing in an earlier year.”

(a) any chargeable gain or allowable loss accruing on the disposal, other than an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D, is to be treated as if it were a chargeable gain or (as the case requires) allowable loss falling to be taken into account in calculating the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(e) for the tax year, and

(b) the disposal is otherwise to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (1)(e).”

20 U.K. In section 87 (non-UK resident settlements: attribution of gains to beneficiaries), after subsection (5) insert—

(b) been demolished to ground level except for a single facade (or, in the case of a building on a corner site, a double facade) the retention of which is a condition or requirement of planning permission or development consent.

Disposal of a building that has undergone works U.K.

8 (1) This paragraph applies where a person disposes of an interest in UK land, and a building which is (or was formerly) on the land and has at any time in the relevant ownership period been suitable for use as a dwelling—

(a) has undergone complete or partial demolition or any other works during the relevant ownership period, and

(b) as a result of the works, has, at or at any time before the completion of the disposal, either ceased to exist or become unsuitable for use as a dwelling.

(2) If the conditions in sub-paragraph (4) are met at, or at any time before, the completion of the disposal, the building is taken to have been unsuitable for use as a dwelling throughout the part of the relevant ownership period when the works were in progress.

(3) If the conditions in sub-paragraph (4) are met at, or at any time before, the completion of the disposal, the building is also taken to have been unsuitable for use as a dwelling throughout any period which—

(a) ends immediately before the commencement of the works, and

(b) is a period throughout which the building was, for reasons connected with the works, not used as a dwelling.

(4) The conditions are that—

(6) Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply in relation to any time when—

(a) the building was undergoing any work, or put to a use, in relation to which planning permission or development consent was required but had not been granted, or

(b) anything was being done in contravention of a condition or requirement attached to a planning permission or development consent relating to the building.

(7) Where a building is treated under sub-paragraph (2) or (3) as unsuitable for use as a dwelling, the unsuitability is not regarded as temporary for the purposes of paragraph 4(10).

(8) In this paragraph—

• “building” includes a part of a building;

• “relevant ownership period” has the meaning given by paragraph 1(4).

Retrospective planning permission or development consent U.K.

PART 1 U.K. Meaning of “closely-held company”

Introduction U.K.

1 This Part of this Schedule sets out the rules for determining, for the purposes of sections 14F and 14G, whether or not a company is a closely-held company.

Main definition U.K.

2 (1) “Closely-held company” means a company in relation to which condition A or B is met.

(2) Condition A is that the company is under the control of 5 or fewer participators.

(3) Condition B is that 5 or fewer participators together possess or are entitled to acquire—

(a) such rights as would, in the event of the winding up of the company (“the relevant company”) on the basis set out in paragraph 3, entitle them to receive the greater part of the assets of the relevant company which would then be available for distribution among the participators, or

(b) such rights as would, in that event, so entitle them if there were disregarded any rights which any of them or any other person has as a loan creditor (in relation to the relevant company or any other company).

3 (1) This paragraph applies for the purposes of paragraph 2(3).

(2) In the notional winding up of the relevant company, the part of the assets available for distribution among the participators which any person is entitled to receive is the aggregate of—

(a) any part of those assets which the person would be entitled to receive in the event of the winding up of the relevant company, and

(b) any part of those assets which the person would be entitled to receive if—

(i) any other company which is a participator in the relevant company and is entitled to receive any assets in the notional winding up were also wound up on the basis set out in this paragraph, and

(ii) the part of the assets of the relevant company to which the other company is entitled were distributed among the participators in the other company in proportion to their respective entitlement to the assets of the other company available for distribution among the participators.

(3) In the application of sub-paragraph (2)—

(a) to the notional winding up of the other company mentioned in paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph, and

(b) to any further notional winding up required by that paragraph (or by any further application of that paragraph),

references to “the relevant company” are to be read as references to the company concerned.

4 (1) This paragraph applies for the purpose of determining whether, under sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 2, 5 or fewer participators together possess or are entitled to acquire rights such as are mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of that sub-paragraph.

(2) A person is to be treated as a participator in the relevant company if the person is a participator in any other company which would be entitled to receive assets in the notional winding up of the relevant company on the basis set out in paragraph 3.

(3) No account is to be taken of a participator which is a company unless the company possesses or is entitled to acquire the rights in a fiduciary or representative capacity.

(4) But sub-paragraph (3) does not apply for the purposes of paragraph 3.

5 (1) A company is not to be treated as a closely-held company if condition A or B is met.

(2) Condition A is that the company cannot be treated as a closely-held company except by taking, as one of the 5 or fewer participators requisite for its being so treated, a person which is a diversely-held company.

(3) Condition B is that the company—

(a) would not be a closely-held company were it not for paragraph (a) of paragraph 2(3) or paragraph (d) of paragraph 7(2), and

(b) would not be a closely-held company if the references in paragraphs 2(3)(a) and 7(2)(d) to participators did not include loan creditors which are diversely-held companies or qualifying institutional investors.

(a) an investment-regulated pension scheme within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 29A to that Act, or

(b) a pension scheme that would be an investment-regulated pension scheme if it were a registered pension scheme.

(6) The Treasury may by regulations amend sub-paragraphs (4) and (5).

(7) Regulations under sub-paragraph (6) may make incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision or savings.

6 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where a participator in a company is a qualifying institutional investor.

(2) For the purpose of determining whether or not the company is a closely-held company, any share or interest which the qualifying institutional investor has as a participator in the company (in any of the ways set out in section 454(2) of CTA 2010 or otherwise) is treated as a share or interest held by more than 5 participators.

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies where a participator in a company is a general partner of a limited partnership which is a collective investment scheme (as defined in section 235 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000).

(4) For the purpose of determining whether or not the company is a closely-held company, any share or interest which the general partner has as a participator in the company (in any of the ways set out in section 454(2) of CTA 2010 or otherwise) is treated as a share or interest held by more than 5 participators.

(5) Sub-paragraph (4) does not apply to—

(a) any rights which would, in the event of the winding up of the company (“the relevant company”) on the basis set out in paragraph 3, or in any other circumstances, entitle the general partner (or a participator in the general partner) to receive assets of the company which would then be available for distribution among the participators, or

(b) any rights which would, in that event, so entitle the general partner (or a participator in the general partner) if there were disregarded any rights which a person has as a loan creditor (in relation to the relevant company or another company).

(9) In this paragraph “qualifying institutional investor” has the same meaning as in paragraph 5.

Meaning of “control” U.K.

(3) Any rights that P or any other person has as a loan creditor are to be disregarded for the purposes of the assumption in sub-paragraph (2)(c).

(4) If two or more persons together satisfy any of the conditions in sub-paragraphs (1) and (2), they are treated as having control of C.

PART 2 U.K. Unit trust schemes and OEICs: widely-marketed schemes

Introduction U.K.

10 (1) This Part of this Schedule sets out the rules for determining, for the purposes of this Schedule and section 14F, whether or not a scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time.

(2) In this Part of this Schedule “scheme” has the same meaning as in section 14F.

Widely-marketed schemes U.K.

11 (1) A scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time when the scheme meets conditions A to C.

(2) Condition A is that the scheme produces documents, available to investors and to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, which contain—

(a) a statement specifying the intended categories of investor,

(b) an undertaking that units in the scheme will be widely available, and

(c) an undertaking that units in the scheme will be marketed and made available in accordance with the requirements of sub-paragraph (5)(a).

(3) Condition B is that—

(a) the specification of the intended categories of investor does not have a limiting or deterrent effect, and

(b) any other terms or conditions governing participation in the scheme do not have a limiting or deterrent effect.

(4) In sub-paragraph (3) “limiting or deterrent effect” means an effect which—

(a) limits investors to a limited number of specific persons or specific groups of connected persons, or

(b) deters a reasonable investor falling within one of (what are specified as) the intended categories of investor from investing in the scheme.

(5) Condition C is that—

(a) units in the scheme are marketed and made available—

(i) sufficiently widely to reach the intended categories of investors, and

(ii) in a manner appropriate to attract those categories of investors, and

(b) a person who falls within one of the intended categories of investors can, upon request to the manager of the scheme, obtain information about the scheme and acquire units in it.

(6) A scheme is not regarded as failing to meet condition C at any time by reason of the scheme's having, at that time, no capacity to receive additional investments, unless—

(a) the capacity of the scheme to receive investments in it is fixed by the scheme documents (or otherwise), and

(b) a pre-determined number of specific persons or specific groups of connected persons make investments in the scheme which collectively exhaust all, or substantially all, of that capacity.

Interpretation U.K.

12 In this Part of this Schedule—

• “open-ended investment company” has the same meaning as in Part 17 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (see section 236 of that Act);

• “units” means the rights or interests (however described) of the participants in a unit trust scheme or open-ended investment company.”

38 (1) Schedule 4ZZA (relevant high value disposals: gains and losses) is amended as follows. U.K.

(2) In paragraph 1 the existing text becomes sub-paragraph (1).

(3) After that sub-paragraph insert—

“(2) See also Part 4 of Schedule 4ZZB, which—

(a) makes provision about non-resident CGT disposals which are, or involve, relevant high value disposals, and

(b) includes provision about the computation of gains or losses on such disposals which are neither NRCGT gains or losses (as defined in section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) nor ATED-related.”

(4) In paragraph 2(1), after paragraph (b) insert—

“See also the special rule in paragraph 6 (which takes precedence over paragraphs 3 and 4 where it applies).”

(5) In paragraph 5, after sub-paragraph (3) insert—

“(3A) An election made in relation to an asset under paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 4ZZB (disposals by non-residents etc of UK residential property interests: gains and losses) also has effect as an election made under this paragraph in relation to the asset.”

(6) After paragraph 6 insert—

“Special rule for certain disposals to which both this Schedule and Schedule 4ZZB relate U.K.

6A (1) This paragraph applies where conditions A and B are met.

(2) Condition A is that the relevant high value disposal is—

(a) a non-resident CGT disposal (see section 14B), or

(b) one of two or more disposals which are (by virtue of section 2C and this Schedule) treated as comprised in a non-resident CGT disposal.

(3) Condition B is that—

(a) the interest disposed of by the relevant high value disposal was held by P on 5 April 2015,

(b) neither Case 2 nor Case 3 in paragraph 2 applies, and

(c) no election under paragraph 5 of this Schedule (or paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 4ZZB) is or has been made in relation to the chargeable interest which (or a part of which) is the subject of the relevant high value disposal.

(4) The ATED-related gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is computed as follows.

• Step 1 Determine the amount of the post-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss.

• Step 2 Determine the amount of the pre-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss.

• Step 3 Add—

  (a)

  the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 1, and

  (b)

  the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 2,

  (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the ATED-related gain on the relevant high value disposal. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the ATED-related loss on the relevant high value disposal.

(5) The post-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss is equal to the amount that would be given by paragraph 3(1) as the amount of the ATED-related gain or loss if the relevant year for the purposes of that paragraph were 2015.

(6) The “pre-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss” means the relevant fraction of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss.

(7) “The relevant fraction” is—

where—

“CD” is the number of days in the relevant ownership period which are ATED chargeable days;

“TD” is the total number of days in the relevant ownership period.

(8) If the interest disposed of was not held by P on 5 April 2013, the “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” is the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 had the interest been disposed of on that date for a consideration equal to its market value on that date.

(9) If the interest disposed of was held by P on 5 April 2013, the “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” is the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 if P had—

(a) acquired the interest on 5 April 2013 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date, and

(b) disposed of it on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date.

(10) Paragraph 3(3) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) as for the purposes of paragraph 3(2).

(11) In sub-paragraph (7) “relevant ownership period” means the period—

(a) beginning with the day on which P acquired the chargeable interest or, if later, 6 April 2013, and

(b) ending with 5 April 2015.

(12) For how to compute the amount of the gain or loss on the relevant high value disposal that is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss (as defined in section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) see paragraphs 16 to 19 of Schedule 4ZZB.”

(7) After paragraph 7 insert—

“Wasting assets U.K.

8 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is necessary, in computing in accordance with paragraph 3(2) the notional post-commencement gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal, to determine whether or not the interest which is the subject of the disposal is a wasting asset.

(2) The assumption in paragraph 3(2) that the interest was acquired on a particular 5 April is to be ignored in determining that question.

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies where it is necessary, in computing in accordance with paragraph 6A(9) the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a person on a disposal, to determine whether or not the interest which is the subject of the disposal is a wasting asset.

(4) The assumption in paragraph 6A(9) that the interest was acquired on 5 April 2013 is to be ignored in determining that question.

(5) In this paragraph references to a “wasting asset” are to a wasting asset as defined for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of this Act.

Capital allowances U.K.

9 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is to be assumed for the purpose of computing—

(a) the notional post-commencement gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal in accordance with paragraph 3(2), or

(b) the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a person on a disposal in accordance with paragraph 6A(9),

that an asset was acquired by a person on 5 April 2013 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date.

(2) For the purposes of that computation, sections 41 (restriction of losses by reference to capital allowances etc) and 47 (wasting assets qualifying for capital allowances) are to apply in relation to any capital allowance or renewals allowance made in respect of the expenditure actually incurred by the person in acquiring or providing the asset as if that allowance were made in respect of the expenditure treated as incurred by the person on 5 April 2013 as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).”

39 U.K. After Schedule 4ZZA insert—

“SCHEDULE 4ZZB U.K. Non-resident CGT disposals: gains and losses

PART 1 U.K. Introduction

1 (1) This Schedule applies for the purpose of determining, in relation to a non-resident CGT disposal made by a person (“P”)—

(a) whether an NRCGT gain or loss accrues to P on the disposal, and the amount of any such gain or loss, and

(b) whether a gain or loss other than an NRCGT gain or loss accrues to P on the disposal, and the amount of any such gain or loss;

(and see also sub-paragraph (2)(c)).

(2) In this Schedule—

(a) Part 2 is about elections to vary the method of computation of gains and losses;

(b) Part 3 contains the main rules for computing the gains and losses;

(c) Part 4 contains separate rules for computing, in a case where the non-resident CGT disposal is, or involves, a relevant high value disposal (as defined in section 2C)—

(i) the amount of any NRCGT gains or losses accruing on the disposal, and

(ii) the amount of any gains or losses accruing on the disposal that are neither ATED-related nor NRCGT gains or losses;

(d) Part 5 contains special rules about non-resident CGT disposals made by companies;

(e) Part 6 (miscellaneous provisions) contains special rules relating to wasting assets and capital allowances;

(f) Part 7 contains definitions for the purposes of this Schedule.

(3) See section 14B for the meaning of “non-resident CGT disposal”.

PART 2 U.K. Elections for alternative methods of computation

2 (1) A person (“P”) making a non-resident CGT disposal of (or of a part of) an interest in UK land which P held on 5 April 2015 may—

(a) make an election for straight-line time apportionment in relation to the interest in UK land;

(b) make an election for the retrospective basis of computation to apply in relation to that interest,

(but may not do both).

(2) P may not make an election under sub-paragraph (1)(a) if the disposal is one to which Part 4 of this Schedule applies (cases involving relevant high value disposals).

(3) For the effect of making an election under sub-paragraph (1)(a), see paragraph 8.

(4) For the effect of making (or not making) an election under sub-paragraph (1)(b), see paragraphs 5(1)(b), 9(1)(b), 13(1)(b), 14(1)(a) and 15(1)(c) (and paragraph 6A(3)(c) of Schedule 4ZZA).

(5) An election made under paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA (including any such election made before the coming into force of this paragraph) has effect as if it were also an election under sub-paragraph (1)(b).

3 (1) An election under paragraph 2(1) is irrevocable (and where an election has been made under paragraph 2(1) or paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA in relation to an asset, no election may subsequently be made under either of those provisions in relation to the asset).

(2) An election under paragraph 2(1) may (regardless of section 42(2) of the Management Act) be made by being included in—

(a) a tax return under the Management Act for the tax year in which the first non-resident CGT disposal by P of the interest in UK land (or any part of it) is made, or

(b) the NRCGT return relating to the disposal,

(but not by any other method).

(3) References in sub-paragraph (2) to an election being included in a return include an election being included by virtue of an amendment of the return.

(4) All such adjustments are to be made, whether by way of discharge or repayment of tax, the making of assessments or otherwise, as are required to give effect to an election under paragraph 2(1).

PART 3 U.K. Main computation rules

Disposals to which this Part applies U.K.

4 (1) This Part of this Schedule applies where a person (“P”) makes a non-resident CGT disposal of (or of a part of) an interest in UK land.

(2) But this Part of this Schedule does not apply if the disposal is—

(a) a relevant high value disposal, or

(b) a disposal in which a relevant high value disposal is comprised (see paragraph 12(3)).

(3) In this Part of this Schedule “the disposed of interest” means—

(a) the interest in UK land, or

(b) if the disposal is of part of that interest, the part disposed of.

Introduction to paragraphs 6 to 8 U.K.

5 (1) Paragraphs 6 to 8 apply where—

(a) the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2015, and

(b) P has not made an election under paragraph 2(1)(b) in relation to the interest in UK land.

(2) In paragraphs 6 and 7—

(a) “notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on the disposal had P acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date;

(b) “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 had the disposed of interest been disposed of for a consideration equal to its market value on that date;

but see also paragraph 8(1).

(3) For the purpose of determining the amount of the hypothetical gain or loss mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a), no account is taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23).

Assets held at 5 April 2015: default method U.K.

6 (1) The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is equal to the relevant fraction of the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss (as the case may be).

But see also sub-paragraph (3).

(2) “The relevant fraction” is—

where—

“RD” is the number of days in the post-commencement ownership period on which the subject matter of the disposed of interest consists wholly or partly of a dwelling;

“TD” is the total number of days in the post-commencement ownership period.

(3) If there has been mixed use of the subject matter of the disposed of interest on one or more days in the post-commencement ownership period, the NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is the fraction of the amount that would (apart from this sub-paragraph) be given by sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) that is, on a just and reasonable apportionment, attributable to the dwelling or dwellings.

(4) For the purposes of this paragraph there is “mixed use” of land on any day on which the land consists partly, but not exclusively, of one or more dwellings.

(5) “Post-commencement ownership period” means the period beginning with 6 April 2015 and ending with the day before the day on which the disposal occurs.

7 The gain or loss accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain or (as the case may be) loss is computed as follows.

• Step 1 Determine the amount of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss.

• Step 2 In a case where there is a notional post-April 2015 gain, determine the amount of that gain remaining after the deduction of the NRCGT gain determined under paragraph 6.

• Step 3 In a case where there is a notional post-April 2015 loss, determine the amount of that loss remaining after the deduction of the NRCGT loss determined under paragraph 6.

• Step 4 Add—

  (a)

  the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 1, and

  (b)

  the amount of any gain determined under Step 2 or (as the case may be) any loss determined under Step 3,

  (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the gain on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the loss on the disposal which is not an NRCGT loss.

Modified application of paragraphs 5 to 7 where election made for straight-line time apportionment U.K.

8 (1) Where the non-resident CGT disposal is of (or of a part of) an interest in UK land in respect of which P makes, or has made, an election for straight-line time apportionment under paragraph 2(1)(a)—

(a) paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 5(2) do not apply in relation to the disposal, and

(b) for the purposes of paragraphs 6 and 7, the “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” and the “notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” are to be determined in accordance with the following steps.

• Step 1 Determine the amount of the gain or loss which accrues to P on the disposal. For the purpose of determining that amount, no account is taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23).

• Step 2 An amount equal to the post-commencement fraction of that gain or loss is the notional post-April 2015 gain or (as the case may be) loss.

• Step 3 An amount equal to the pre-commencement fraction of that gain or loss is the notional pre-April 2015 gain or (as the case may be) loss.

(2) The “post-commencement fraction” is—

where—

“PCD” is the number of days in the post-commencement ownership period;

“TD” is the total number of days in the ownership period.

(3) The “pre-commencement fraction” is—

where “PCD” and “TD” have the same meanings as in sub-paragraph (2).

(4) In this paragraph—

• “ownership period” means the period beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 31 March 1982 and ending with the day before the day on which the disposal occurs;

• “post-commencement ownership period” has the meaning given by paragraph 6(5).

Cases where asset acquired after 5 April 2015 or election made under paragraph 2(1)(b) U.K.

9 (1) This paragraph applies if—

(a) the disposed of interest was not held by P throughout the period beginning with 5 April 2015 and ending with the disposal, or

(b) the non-resident CGT disposal is of (or of part of) an interest in UK land in respect of which P makes, or has made, an election under paragraph 2(1)(b).

(2) The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is computed as follows.

• Step 1 Determine the amount of the gain or loss which accrues to P. For the purpose of determining the amount of that gain or loss, no account is taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23).

• Step 2 The NRCGT gain or (as the case may be) loss accruing on the disposal is an amount equal to the relevant fraction of that gain or loss (but see Step 3).

• Step 3 If there has been mixed use of the subject matter of the disposed of interest on one or more days in the relevant ownership period, the NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is equal to the appropriate fraction of the amount given by Step 2.

(3) For the purposes of this paragraph there is “mixed use” of land on any day on which the land consists partly, but not exclusively, of one or more dwellings.

(4) In Step 3 “the appropriate fraction” means the fraction that is, on a just and reasonable apportionment, attributable to the dwelling or dwellings.

(5) The gain or loss accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain or (as the case may be) loss is to be computed as follows.

• Step 1 In a case where there is a gain under Step 1 of sub-paragraph (2), determine the amount of that gain remaining after the deduction of the NRCGT gain determined under that sub-paragraph. That remaining gain is the gain accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain.

• Step 2 In a case where there is a loss under Step 1 of sub-paragraph (2), determine the amount of that loss remaining after deduction of the NRCGT loss determined under that sub-paragraph. That remaining loss is the loss accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT loss.

(6) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), “the relevant fraction” is—

where—

“RD” is the number of days in the relevant ownership period on which the subject matter of the disposed of interest consists wholly or partly of a dwelling;

“TD” is the total number of days in the relevant ownership period.

(7) “The relevant ownership period” means the period—

(a) beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 31 March 1982, and

(b) ending with the day before the day on which the disposal mentioned in paragraph 4(1) occurs.

Interest subsisting under contract for off-plan purchase U.K.

10 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the non-resident CGT disposal referred to in paragraph 4(1) is a disposal of a UK residential property interest only because of the second condition in paragraph 1 of Schedule B1 (interest subsisting under a contract for the acquisition of land that consists of, or includes, a building that is to be constructed for use as a dwelling etc).

(2) The land that is the subject of the contract concerned is treated for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule as consisting of (or, as the case requires, including) a dwelling throughout P's period of ownership of the disposed of interest.

PART 4 U.K. Cases involving relevant high value disposals

Overview U.K.

11 (1) This Part is about non-resident CGT disposals which are, or involve, relevant high value disposals (see section 2B, which charges capital gains tax on ATED-related gains on relevant high value disposals).

(2) Paragraphs 12 to 15 contain provision about how any NRCGT gains and losses on such a disposal are computed, including provision—

(a) for the NRCGT gains or losses to be computed for each relevant high value disposal comprised in the non-resident CGT disposal (paragraphs 13 to 15), and

(b) for the results to be added (where necessary) to find the NRCGT gain or loss on the non-resident CGT disposal (see paragraph 12).

(3) For provision about how to compute any ATED-related gains or losses accruing on the relevant high value disposals, see Schedule 4ZZA.

(4) Paragraphs 16 to 19 contain provisions for computing any gains or losses accruing on the disposals mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) which are neither ATED-related nor NRCGT gains or losses, including provision—

(a) for such balancing gains or losses to be computed for each relevant high value disposal comprised in the non-resident CGT disposal, and

(b) for the results to be added together (where necessary) to find the balancing gain or loss on the non-resident CGT disposal (see paragraph 16).

(5) Paragraph 20 is about cases where a disposal which is not a relevant high value disposal is also comprised in the non-resident CGT disposal.

Disposal involving one or more relevant high value disposals U.K.

12 (1) This Part of this Schedule applies where—

(a) a person (other than an excluded person) (“P”) makes a non-resident CGT disposal of (or of part of) an interest in UK land, and

(b) that disposal (“the disposal of land”) is a relevant high value disposal or a relevant high value disposal is comprised in it.

In this sub-paragraph “excluded person” has the meaning given by section 2B(2).

(2) The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal of land is computed as follows.

• Step 1 Determine in accordance with paragraphs 13 to 15 the amount of the NRCGT gain or loss accruing on each relevant high value disposal.

• Step 2 Add together the amounts of any gains or losses determined under Step 1 (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the NRCGT gain on the disposal of land. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the NRCGT loss on the disposal of land. See paragraphs 16 to 19 for how to compute the gain or loss on the disposal of land which is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss.

(3) For the purposes of this Schedule, a relevant high value disposal is “comprised in” a non-resident CGT disposal if—

(a) the non-resident CGT disposal is treated for the purposes of section 2C and Schedule 4ZZA as two or more disposals, and

(b) the relevant high value disposal is one of those.

(4) In this Part of this Schedule—

(a) “the asset”, in relation to a relevant high value disposal, means the chargeable interest which (or a part of which) is the subject of that disposal, and

(b) “the disposed of interest”, in relation to a relevant high value disposal, means the asset or, if only part of the asset is the subject of the relevant high value disposal, that part of the asset.

(5) For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule a day is a “section 14D chargeable day” in relation to a relevant high value disposal if—

(a) it is a day on which the subject matter of the disposed of interest consists wholly or partly of a dwelling, but

(b) it is not an ATED chargeable day (as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 4ZZA).

Assets held at 5 April 2015 (where no election made and no rebasing in 2016 required) U.K.

13 (1) This paragraph applies where—

(b) P has not made an election under paragraph 2(1)(b) (or paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA) in respect of the asset, and

(c) paragraph 15 does not apply.

(2) The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is equal to the special fraction of the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss (as the case may be) on that disposal.

(3) “Notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on the relevant high value disposal had P acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date.

(4) “The special fraction” is—

where—

“SD” is the number of section 14D chargeable days (see paragraph 12(5)) in the post-commencement ownership period;

“TD” is the total number of days in the post-commencement ownership period.

(5) “The post-commencement ownership period” means the period beginning with 6 April 2015 and ending with the day before the day on which the relevant high value disposal occurs.

14 (1) This paragraph applies where—

(a) P makes, or has made, an election under paragraph 2(1)(b) (or paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA) in respect of the asset, or

(b) the disposed of interest was not held by P throughout the period beginning with 5 April 2015 and ending with the disposal.

(2) But this paragraph does not apply if paragraph 15 applies.

(3) The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is computed as follows.

• Step 1 Determine the amount of the gain or loss which accrues to P. (For the purpose of determining the amount of that gain or loss, no account need be taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23).)

• Step 2 The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is equal to the special fraction of that gain or loss.

(4) For this purpose “the special fraction” is—

where—

“SD” is the number of section 14D chargeable days (see paragraph 12(5)) in the relevant ownership period;

“TD” is the total number of days in the relevant ownership period.

(5) “Relevant ownership period” means the period—

(a) beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 31 March 1982, and

15 (1) This paragraph applies where—

(a) the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2016,

(b) the relevant high value disposal falls within Case 3 for the purposes of Schedule 4ZZA (see paragraph 2(4) of that Schedule), and

(c) no election is or has been made (or treated as made) by P under paragraph 2(1)(b) in respect of the asset.

• Step 2 Determine the amount equal to the special fraction of the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss (as the case may be).

• Step 3 Add—

  (a)

  the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 1, and

  (b)

  the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 2,

  (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the NRCGT gain on the relevant high value disposal. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the NRCGT loss on the relevant high value disposal.

(3) “The special fraction” is—

where—

“SD” is the number of section 14D chargeable days (see paragraph 12(5)) in the relevant ownership period;

“TD” is the total number of days in the relevant ownership period.

(4) The “relevant ownership period” is—

(a) for the purpose of computing under Step 1 of sub-paragraph (2) the special fraction of the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss, the period beginning with 6 April 2016 and ending with the day before the day on which the relevant high value disposal occurs;

(b) for the purpose of computing under Step 2 of sub-paragraph (2) the special fraction of the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss, the period beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 6 April 2015 and ending with 5 April 2016.

(5) “Notional post-April 2016 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on the relevant high value disposal had P acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2016 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date.

(6) If the disposed of interest was not held by P on 5 April 2015, “notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2016 had the disposed of interest been disposed of for a consideration equal to the market value of the interest on that date.

(7) If the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2015, “notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued to P on the disposal mentioned in paragraph (b), had P—

(a) acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date, and

(b) disposed of that interest on 5 April 2016 for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date.

Amount of gain or loss that is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss U.K.

16 (1) The gain or loss on the disposal of land (see paragraph 12(1)(b)) which is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss (“the balancing gain or loss”) is computed as follows.

• Step 1 Determine in accordance with paragraphs 17 to 19 the amount of the gain or loss accruing on each relevant high value disposal which is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss. This is the “balancing” gain or loss for each such disposal.

• Step 2 Add together the amounts of any balancing gains or losses determined under Step 1 (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the balancing gain on the disposal of land. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the balancing loss on the disposal of land.

(2) In relation to a relevant high value disposal, “balancing day” means a day which is neither—

(a) a section 14D chargeable day (see paragraph 12(5)), nor

(b) an ATED chargeable day.

(3) In relation to a relevant high value disposal, “non-ATED chargeable day” means a day which is not an ATED chargeable day.

(4) The references in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) to an “ATED chargeable day” are to be interpreted in accordance with paragraph 3(6) of Schedule 4ZZA.

17 (1) This paragraph applies in relation to a relevant high value disposal to which paragraph 13 applies.

(2) If paragraph 6A of Schedule 4ZZA does not apply, the amount of the balancing gain or loss on the relevant high value disposal is found by adding—

(a) the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss, and

(b) the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss,

(treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount).

If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the balancing gain on the relevant high value disposal.

If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the balancing loss on the relevant high value disposal.

(3) If paragraph 6A of Schedule 4ZZA applies, the amount of the balancing gain or loss on the relevant high value disposal is found by adding—

(a) the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss,

(b) the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss, and

(c) if P held the disposed of interest on 5 April 2013, the amount of the notional pre-April 2013 gain or loss,

(treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount).

If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the balancing gain on the relevant high value disposal.

If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the balancing loss on the relevant high value disposal.

(4) The balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss is equal to the balancing fraction of the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss.

(treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount).

If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the balancing gain on the relevant high value disposal.

If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the balancing loss on the relevant high value disposal.

(2) The balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss is equal to the balancing fraction of the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss.

(2) For the purposes of that computation, sections 41 (restriction of losses by reference to capital allowances and renewals allowances) and 47 (wasting assets qualifying for capital allowances) are to apply in relation to any capital allowance or renewals allowance made in respect of the expenditure actually incurred by the person in acquiring or providing the asset as if that allowance were made in respect of the expenditure treated as incurred by the person on the deemed acquisition date as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).

PART 7 U.K. Interpretation

26 In this Schedule—

• “chargeable interest” has the same meaning as in Part 3 of the Finance Act 2013 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings) (see section 107 of that Act);

• “dwelling” has the meaning given by paragraph 4 of Schedule B1;

• “subject matter”, in relation to an interest in UK land (or a chargeable interest) means the land to which the interest relates.”

40 U.K. In Schedule 4C (transfers of value: attribution of gains etc), in paragraph 4, after sub-paragraph (2) insert—

“(3) Where any of the disposals which the trustees are treated as having made as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) is a non-resident CGT disposal—

(a) any chargeable gain or allowable loss accruing on that disposal, other than an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D, is to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) as if it were a chargeable gain or (as the case requires) allowable loss falling to be taken into account in calculating the chargeable amount, and

(b) that disposal is otherwise to be disregarded for the purpose of calculating the chargeable amount.”

PART 2 U.K. Other amendments

41 U.K. TMA 1970 is amended in accordance with paragraphs 42 to 55.

42 U.K. After section 7 insert—

“7A Disregard of certain NRCGT gains for purposes of section 7

(a) a person (“P”) is the taxable person in relation to an NRCGT return relating to a tax year (“year X”) which is made and delivered to an officer of Revenue and Customs before the end of the notification period and contains an advance self-assessment,

(b) the return is in respect of a non-resident CGT disposal on which an NRCGT gain accrues, and

(c) P would (apart from this section) be required to give a notice under section 7 with respect to year X.

(2) In those sections, references to the tax year to which an NRCGT return “relates” are to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZB(7).

(3) For the purposes of those sections the “completion” of a non-resident CGT disposal is taken to occur—

(b) if the disposal is under a contract which is completed by a conveyance, at the time when the asset is conveyed.

(4) For the meaning in those sections of “non-resident CGT disposal” see section 14B of the 1992 Act (and see also section 12ZJ).

(5) For the meaning of “NRCGT group” in those sections see section 288(1) of the 1992 Act.

12ZB NRCGT return

(1) Where a non-resident CGT disposal is made, the appropriate person must make and deliver to an officer of Revenue and Customs, on or before the filing date, a return in respect of the disposal.

(2) In subsection (1) the “appropriate person” means—

(a) the taxable person in relation to the disposal, or

(b) if the disposal is made by a member of an NRCGT group, the relevant members of the group.

(3) A return under this section is called an “NRCGT return”.

(4) An NRCGT return must—

(a) contain the information prescribed by HMRC, and

(b) include a declaration by the person making it that the return is to the best of the person's knowledge correct and complete.

(5) Subsection (1) does not apply to a non-resident CGT disposal to which section 188C of the 1992 Act applies (transfers within NRCGT group).

(6) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b), the “relevant members” of the NRCGT group are—

(a) the companies which are members of that group when the disposal is made, and

(b) any other companies which are, at any time before the time of the disposal in the tax year to which the return relates, members of that group.

(7) An NRCGT return “relates to” the tax year in which any gains on the non-resident CGT disposal would accrue.

(8) The “filing date” for an NRCGT return is the 30th day following the day of the completion of the disposal to which the return relates.

But see also section 12ZJ(5).

the person is to make and deliver a single return with respect to all those disposals.

12ZD NRCGT returns: grant and exercise of options

(1) This section applies where—

(a) by virtue of section 144(2) of the 1992 Act, the grant of an option binding the grantor to sell an interest in UK land is, on the exercise of the option, treated as the same transaction as the sale, and

(b) both the grant of the option and the transaction entered into by the grantor in fulfilment of the grantor's obligations under the option (“the sale”) would be non-resident CGT disposals (were they not treated as a single transaction).

(2) On completion of the sale—

(a) the grantor is to be subject to the same obligations under sections 12ZB, 12ZE and 59AA (duties relating to returns and payments on account) in relation to the grant of the option as the grantor would be subject to were the option never to be exercised, and

(b) the consideration for the option is to be disregarded (despite section 144(2) of the 1992 Act) in calculating under section 12ZF the amount of capital gains tax notionally chargeable at the completion date of the single transaction mentioned in subsection (1)(a).

(3) In this section “sell” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 144(6) of the 1992 Act.

12ZE NRCGT return to include advance self-assessment

(1) An NRCGT return (“the current return”) relating to a tax year (“year Y”) which a person (“P”) is required to make in respect of one or more non-resident CGT disposals (“the current disposals”) must include an assessment (an “advance self-assessment”) of—

(a) the amount notionally chargeable at the filing date for the current return (see section 12ZF), and

(b) if P has made (or is to make) a prior NRCGT return, the amount of any increase in the amount notionally chargeable for year Y.

But see the exceptions in section 12ZG.

(2) In a case falling within subsection (1)(b)—

(a) there is an “increase in the amount notionally chargeable” for year Y if the amount notionally chargeable at the filing date for the current return exceeds the corresponding amount for the prior NRCGT return (or the prior NRCGT return which has the most recent filing date, if there is more than one), and

(b) the amount of that increase is the amount of the excess.

(3) “Prior NRCGT return” means an NRCGT return which—

(a) relates to year Y, and

(b) is in respect of a non-resident CGT disposal (or disposals) the completion date of which is earlier than that of the current disposals.

12ZF The “amount notionally chargeable”

(1) The “amount notionally chargeable” at the filing date for an NRCGT return (“the current return”) is the amount of capital gains tax to which the person whose return it is (“P”) would be chargeable under section 14D or 188D of the 1992 Act for the year to which the return relates (“year Y”), as determined—

(a) on the assumption in subsection (2),

(b) in accordance with subsection (3), and

(c) if P is an individual, on the basis of a reasonable estimate of the matters set out in subsection (4).

(2) The assumption mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is that in year Y no NRCGT gain or loss accrues to P on any disposal the completion of which occurs after the day of the completion of the disposals to which the return relates (“day X”).

(3) In the determination of the amount notionally chargeable—

(a) all allowable losses accruing to P in year Y on disposals of assets the completion of which occurs on or before day X which are available to be deducted under paragraph (a) or (b) of section 14D(2) or (as the case may be) section 188D(2) of the 1992 Act are to be so deducted, and

(b) any other relief or allowance relating to capital gains tax which is required to be given in P's case is to be taken into account, so far as the relief would be available on the assumption in subsection (2).

(4) The matters mentioned in subsection (1)(c) are—

(a) whether or not income tax will be chargeable at the higher rate or the dividend upper rate in respect of P's income for year Y (see section 4(4) of the 1992 Act), and

(b) (if P estimates that income tax will not be chargeable as mentioned in paragraph (a)) what P's Step 3 income will be for year Y.

(5) An advance self-assessment must, in particular, give particulars of any estimate made for the purposes of subsection (1)(c).

(6) A reasonable estimate included in an NRCGT return in accordance with subsection (5) is not regarded as inaccurate for the purposes of Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (penalties for errors).

(7) Where P is the relevant body of an NRCGT group—

(a) the references to P in subsections (2) and (3)(a) are to be read as references to any member of the NRCGT group;

(b) the reference to P in subsection (3)(b) is to be read as including any member of the NRCGT group.

(8) For the purposes of this section—

• an estimate is “reasonable” if it is made on a basis that is fair and reasonable, having regard to the circumstances in which it is made;

• “Step 3 income”, in relation to an individual, has the same meaning as in section 4 of the 1992 Act.

(9) In this section, references to the “relevant body” of an NRCGT group are to be interpreted in accordance with section 188D(4) of the 1992 Act.

(10) Section 989 of ITA 2007 (the definitions) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for income tax purposes.

(11) For the meaning of “NRCGT gain” and “NRCGT loss” see section 57B of, and Schedule 4ZZB to, the 1992 Act.

12ZG Cases where advance self-assessment not required

(2) Condition A is that P (or, if P is the trustees of a settlement, any trustee of the settlement) has been given, on or before the day on which the NRCGT return is required to be delivered, a notice under section 8 or 8A with respect to—

(a) year Y, or

(b) the previous tax year,

(a) year Y, or

(b) the previous tax year,

and that notice has not been withdrawn.

(6) If P gives HMRC a notice under this subsection specifying an NRCGT return which—

(a) relates to year X, and

(3) Notice of any determination under this section must be served on the person in respect of whom it is made and must state the date on which it is issued.

(4) Until such time (if any) as it is superseded by an advance self-assessment on the basis of information contained in an NRCGT return, a determination under this section is to have effect as if it were an advance self-assessment contained in an NRCGT return made by the person in respect of the disposal concerned.

(5) Where—

(a) proceedings have been commenced for the recovery of an amount payable by virtue of a determination under this section, and

(b) before those proceedings are concluded, the determination is superseded by an advance self-assessment made by the person in respect of the disposal,

those proceedings may be continued as if they were proceedings for the recovery of so much of the amount payable by virtue of the advance self-assessment as is due and payable and has not been paid.

(6) No determination under this section, and no advance self-assessment superseding such a determination may be made—

(a) after the end of the period of 3 years beginning with 31 January of the year following the tax year to which the determination relates, or

(b) in the case of such an advance self-assessment, after the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the date of the determination.

“29A Non-resident CGT disposals: determination of amount which should have been assessed

(1) Subsection (2) applies if HMRC discover, as regards a non-resident CGT disposal made by a person (“P”) (or two or more such disposals in a case falling within section 12ZC) and a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) that—

(a) an amount that ought to have been assessed as the amount notionally chargeable in an advance self-assessment under section 12ZE(1) has not been so assessed by the filing date, or

(b) an assessment of the amount notionally chargeable for the purposes of section 12ZF(1) contained in an NRCGT return made and delivered by P has become insufficient.

(2) HMRC may determine that the amount or further amount which in its opinion ought to be assessed under section 12ZE to remedy the failure mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or the insufficiency mentioned in subsection (1)(b) is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as if it were so assessed in—

(a) an NRCGT return made by P in respect of the disposal, or

(b) (if P has made and delivered an NRCGT return in respect of the disposal) that return.

But see subsections (3) to (5).

(3) Where P has made and delivered in respect of the disposal an NRCGT return containing an advance self-assessment, HMRC may not make a determination under subsection (2) in respect of the disposal unless one of the two conditions mentioned below is met.

(4) The first condition is that the situation mentioned in subsection (1) was brought about carelessly or deliberately by P or a person acting on P's behalf.

(5) The second condition is that at the time when an officer of Revenue and Customs—

(a) ceased to be entitled to give notice of the officer's intention to enquire into the NRCGT return, or

(b) informed P of the completion of the officer's enquiries into the return,

the officer could not reasonably have been expected, on the basis of the information made available to the officer before that time, to be aware of the situation mentioned in subsection (1).

(6) For the purposes of subsection (5), information is made available to an officer of Revenue and Customs if—

(a) it is contained in an NRCGT return made and delivered by P which relates to the relevant tax year or either or the two immediately preceding tax years,

(b) it is contained in any return under section 8 or 8A made and delivered by P in respect of either of the two tax years immediately preceding the relevant tax year,

(c) it is contained in any claim made by P which relates to P's capital gains tax position with respect to the relevant tax year or either of the two immediately preceding tax years,

(d) it is contained in any accounts, statements or documents accompanying a return falling within paragraph (a) or (b) or a claim falling within paragraph (c),

(e) it is contained in any documents, accounts or particulars which, for the purposes of any enquiries by an officer of Revenue and Customs into a return falling within paragraph (a) or (b) or a claim falling within paragraph (c) are produced or provided by P to the officer, or

(f) it is information the existence of which, and the relevance of which as regards the situation mentioned in subsection (1)—

(i) could be reasonably expected to be inferred by an officer of Revenue and Customs from information falling within paragraphs (a) to (e), or

(ii) are notified in writing by the taxpayer to an officer of Revenue and Customs.

(7) In subsection (6)—

(a) any reference to a return made and delivered by P under section 8 in respect of a tax year includes, if P carries on a trade, profession or business in partnership, a reference to any partnership return with respect to the partnership for that tax year, and

(b) any reference to P includes a person acting on P's behalf.
