(3) Where, apart from this subsection, a development gain would by virtue of the preceding provisions of this section accrue to a person in respect of a disposal of shares in a company, then—

(a) a development gain shall not accrue to him in respect of the disposal unless an excess of development gains over development losses would have accrued to the company, being a land-owning company, or to a land-owning company mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b), as the case may be, of subsection (1) above, on the company disposing of its relevant land at market value at the time of his disposal and any such land-owning company disposing likewise of the relevant land of that company; and

(5) Where a person disposes of shares in a company (“the said company”) in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above and at the material time (that is to say, immediately before the disposal) the said company had control of a land-owning company which, because it was not resident in the United Kingdom, was not a close company, then this Chapter shall apply in relation to the disposal as if that land-owning company had been resident in the United Kingdom at that time.

(d) the part attributable to any shares in a company of the amount of an excess of total development gains over total development losses shall be the sum which that amount would add to the distributions made in respect of those shares in a winding-up of the company if the amount represented assets of the company, and if apart from that amount the assets of the company were enough, and no more than enough, to ensure the satisfaction of its liabilities (including the return of share capital), and the part of any such amount which is directly or indirectly attributable under this paragraph to shares held by a company shall (so far as is necessary for the determination of any question as to the tax chargeable in consequence of this section) be apportioned by the like method between the shares in that company to arrive at the part attributable to any of those shares.

In its application by virtue of [F33 section 93of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F33 ] to an unauthorised unit trust, paragraph (d) above shall have effect with any necessary modifications.

(7) For the purposes of this and the preceding subsection—

42 Disposals of interests in settled property. U.K.

(1) Where after 17th December 1973 a person disposes of an interest under a settlement which immediately before the disposal is a land settlement, the disposal shall be deemed to be a disposal of an interest in land to which section 38 of this Act applies.

(2) Where a chargeable gain accrues to a person on a disposal of an interest under a settlement to which the preceding subsection applies, then, subject to the provisions of section 39 of this Act and this section, the development gain accruing to him in respect of the disposal shall be equal to that chargeable gain.

(3) Where, apart from this subsection, a development gain would by virtue of the preceding provisions of this section accrue to a person in respect of a disposal of an interest under a settlement then—

(a) a development gain shall not accrue to him in respect of the disposal unless an excess of development gains over development losses would have accrued to the trustees of the settlement on their disposing of the relevant land comprised in the settled property at market value at the time of his disposal; and

(b) the development gain accruing to him in respect of the disposal shall not exceed the amount (if any) by which the market value of the interest at that time exceeds what its market value would then have been if the value of the relevant land then comprised in the settled property had been equal to the actual value of that relevant land at that time reduced by one-half of the excess of development gains over development losses that would have accrued as mentioned in paragraph (a) above.

If a claim under section 40(2) of this Act could have been made in respect of any disposal which is to be assumed for the purposes of this subsection, that claim shall for those purposes be assumed to have been made.

(4) Where a gain accrues to a person on a disposal of an interest under a settlement which immediately before the disposal is a land settlement and—

(a) [F35 section 58(1)of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F35 ] (exemption for gains accruing on disposals of interests under settlements) would, apart from this subsection, apply to that gain; and

(b) immediately before the disposal it was the case that under the terms of the settlement the person making the disposal would or might become absolutely entitled to all or any part of the settled property as against the trustee,

then the development gain accruing to him in respect of that disposal shall first be computed as if the [said section 58(1) F36 ] did not so apply, and the[F36 said section 58(1) F36 ] shall then apply to so much, if any, of the gain as is not by virtue of this Chapter a development gain.

(5) Where by virtue of [F36 section 58(2) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F36 ] a person who has acquired an interest in settled property is treated as disposing of the interest on the occasion of his becoming, as the holder of that interest, absolutely entitled to any settled property as against the trustee, then—

(a) subsection (4) above shall not apply in the case of that disposal if the trustee is chargeable to tax on that occasion by virtue of[F36 section 54(1)of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F36 ](settled property); and

(b) where the preceding paragraph would apply if the trustee were resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, then, if any beneficiary under the settlement is by virtue of [F36 section 17 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F36 ] (non-resident trusts) treated as if the whole or part of the relevant amount had been development gains accruing to that beneficiary, the development gain accruing to the first-mentioned person in respect of the said disposal shall not exceed the difference between what that development gain would be apart from this paragraph and the relevant fraction of what that development gain would be apart from this paragraph.

(6) For the purposes of this and the preceding subsection—

(a) “the relevant amount” means the amount on which the trustee of the settlement mentioned in that subsection would have been chargeable to income tax in respect of development gains by virtue of section 38(2) of this Act as mentioned in subsection (2) of the said [section 17 F36 ];

(b) “the relevant fraction” means the fraction of which the numerator is equal to so much of the relevant amount as is by virtue of subsection (2) of the said[F36 section 17 F36 ] treated as development gains accruing to beneficiaries under the said settlement, and the denominator is the relevant amount; and

(c) references to the said [section 17 F37 ]are references to that section as it has effect in relation to development gains by virtue of paragraph 3of Schedule 8to this Act.

(7) Where, in a case to which subsection (4) above applies, a person having an interest in settled property is charged to tax in respect of a development gain accruing to him by virtue of this section, then, for the purposes of the computation under[F37 Chapter II of Part II of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F37 ] of the gain accruing to the trustees of the settlement on a disposal of all or any part of the relevant land which was comprised in the settled property immediately before the disposal in respect of which that development gain accrued to him,[F37 section 32(1)(a) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F37 ] (computation of chargeable gains: allowable expenditure) shall apply—

(a) as if a sum equal to the amount of that development gain formed part of the consideration given by the trustees for the acquisition of the relevant land which was so comprised in the settled property; and

(b) if the relevant land which was so comprised in the settled property consisted of more than one interest in land, as if such proportion of that sum as is just and reasonable formed part of the consideration given by the trustees for the acquisition of each of those interests.

(8) For the purposes of this section—

(a) a settlement is a “land settlement” if the settled property comprises relevant land to a value exceeding three-quarters of the net value of all the settled property (that is to say, its value less the value of any debts or liabilities of the trustees in their capacity as such); and

(b) “value”, in relation to any settled property, means market value.

(9) For the purposes of this and the preceding subsection—

(a) “relevant land” (subject to subsection (10) below) means any interest in land situated in the United Kingdom, other than an interest held as trading stock;

(b) the value of the relevant land comprised in settled property shall be taken to be its value free of any liability charged or secured thereon;

(c) the net value of the assets of any business comprised in settled property shall be taken to be the net value they would have on a sale in the open market of the business as a going concern;

(d) the settled property comprised in a settlement shall be treated as including any interest in land which the trustees in their capacity as such have unconditionally contracted to acquire, but not as including any interest in land which the trustees in that capacity have unconditionally contracted to dispose of; and

(e) shares in a company shall be treated as an interest in land situated in the United Kingdom if a disposal thereof would fall within section 41(1) of this Act.

(10) Subsections (8) to (10) of section 41 of this Act, except paragraph (b) of subsection (8) and so much of subsection (9) as refers to, or relates to the case mentioned in, that paragraph, shall apply for the purposes of subsections (8) and (9) above as they apply for the purposes of subsections (6) and (7) of that section, subject to the modification that for references to a company there shall be substituted references to the trustees of settled property in their capacity as such.

U.K.

(2) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the current use value of an interest in land at the relevant time is the market value of that interest at that time calculated on the assumption that it was at that time, and would continue to be, unlawful to carry out any material development of the land other than any material development thereof which, being authorised by planning permission in force at that time, was begun before that time F64 .

(3) In this paragraph “planning permission”has the same meaning as in the M11 Town and Country Planning Act 1971, or, in Scotland, theM12 Town and Country Planning ( Scotland) Act 1972, or, in Northern Ireland, theM13 Planning ( Northern Ireland) Order 1972; and in determining for the purposes of this paragraph what material development of any land was authorised by planning permission at a time when there was in force in respect of the land planning permission granted on an outline application ( that is to say, an application for planning permission subject to subsequent approval on any matters), any such development of the land which at that time—

(a) was authorised by that permission without any requirement as to subsequent approval; or

(b) not being so authorised, had been approved in the manner applicable to that planning permission,

but no other material development, shall for the purposes be taken to have been authorised by that permission at that time.

2 (1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) below, this paragraph shall apply as regards the current use value of an interest in land which has been disposed of by way of a part disposal of an asset ( in this paragraph referred to as “the relevant asset”) consisting of an interest in land. U.K.

(2) The current use value at the relevant time of the interest disposed of shall be the relevant fraction of the current use value of the relevant asset at that time, calculated on the same assumptions as to the lawfulness or otherwise of any material development as fall to be made under this Schedule in calculating the current use value at that time of the interest disposed of.

(3) For the purposes of the preceding sub-paragraph “the relevant fraction”means that fraction of the sums mentioned in the following sub-paragraph which under [ subsection (2) of section 35 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F65 ] is, or would but for [ subsection (4) of that sectionF65 ] be, allowable as a deduction in computing under [ Chapter II of Part II of that ActF65 ] the amount of the gain accruing on the part disposal.

(4) The sums referred to in the preceding sub-paragraph are the sums which, if the entire relevant asset had been disposed of at the time of the part disposal, would be allowable by virtue of [ section 32 (1)(a) and (b) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F65 ] as a deduction in computing under [ Chapter II of Part II of that ActF65 ] the gain accruing on that disposal of the relevant asset.

(6) In computing under this Chapter any gain accruing to a person on a part disposal of a lease which is a wasting asset by way of the grant of a sub-lease for a premium, the current use value of the lease at the time of its acquisition by the person making the disposal shall be the relevant fraction of what its current use value at that time would be apart from sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) above.

(7) For the purposes of the preceding sub-paragraphs “the relevant fraction” means that fraction of the expenditure attributable to the lease under [ section 32(1)(a) and (b) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F65 ] which under paragraph 4 of [ Schedule 3 F65 to that Act ( sub-leases out of short leases) falls to be apportioned to what is disposed of.

Replacement of business assets U.K.

18 (1) If the consideration which a person carrying on a trade obtains for the disposal of, or of his interest in, assets ( in this paragraph referred to as “the old assets”) used, and used only, for the purposes of the trade throughout the period of ownership is wholly or partly applied by him in acquiring other assets, or an interest in other assets ( in this paragraph referred to as “the new assets”) which on the acquisition are taken into use, and used only, for the purposes of the trade,and— U.K.

(b) some or all of the new assets are qualifying assets; and

(c) development gains accrue to the person carrying on the trade in respect of the disposal; and

(2) There shall be ascertained the following amounts, that is to say—

(a) the amount by which so much of the consideration for the disposal as has been applied as described in sub-paragraph (1) above exceeds the difference mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d) above; and

and in the following provisions of this paragraph “the material amount”means whichever of those amounts is the smaller ( or, if they are equal, the amount which is equal to each of them).

(a) 30 per cent. of what is, under sub-paragraph (5) below, the appropriate amount;

(b) 30 per cent. of the amount, if any, by which the development gains accruing to him in that chargeable period exceed the development losses, if any, accruing to him in that period ( so that if the amount under this head is nil, no reduction will fall to be made under this sub-paragraph);

(c) the total amount of the income tax for which he is liable for that chargeable period or, in the case of a company, the total amount of the corporation tax for which the company is liable for that chargeable period after setting against that liability the amount of any advance corporation tax falling to be set against it under section 85 of the Finance Act 1972, but before any set-off under subsection (5) of section 240 of the Taxes Act ( income tax on distributions etc. received by U.K. company).

the whole amount of the expenditure reduction could be carried forward from asset No. 1 to asset No. 3; and the claim under sub-paragraph (3) above shall be accepted as if those assumptions were true.

(5) For the purposes of this paragraph an asset is a depreciating asset at any time if—

(a) at that time it is a wasting asset as defined in section 37(1) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979, or

7 (1) If, in a case where [section 123 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F112 ] applies, any development gains accrue to the transferor in respect of his disposal (referred to below as “the original disposal”) of the assets included in the business, then, if the transferor makes a claim under this paragraph as respects the transfer, the following provisions of this paragraph shall apply. U.K.

This paragraph shall be construed as one with the [said section 123 F112 .]

(2) For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a) “the net development gains” means the development gains accruing to the transferor in respect of the original disposal, as reduced by any development losses deducted from or set off against those gains under section 176 or 179 of the Taxes Act in accordance with paragraph 4 of Schedule 6 to this Act;

(b) “the qualifying amount” —

(i) if the business is transferred wholly in exchange for shares issued by the company to the transferor, means the amount of the net development gains;

(ii) in any other case, means the amount by which what would have been the amount determined under [subsection (4) of the said section 123 F113 ] if this Chapter had not been enacted exceeds the amount actually determined under [that subsectionF113 ], or the amount of the net development gains, whichever is the smaller;

(c) the qualifying amount shall be apportioned between the new assets ( that is to say, the shares received by the transferor in exchange for the business) as a whole, and, if those shares are not all of the same class, the apportionment between them shall be in accordance with their market values at the time they were acquired by the transferor.

(3) The profits or gains chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D on the transferor for the year of assessment in which the original disposal is made shall be reduced by the qualifying amount.

(4) If the transferor disposes of shares comprised in the new assets, being all the shares of a particular class which are so comprised, then the amount apportioned to those shares under sub-paragraph (2)(c) above shall be treated as a development gain accruing to him in the year of assessment in which that disposal is made and as constituting profits or gains chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D for that year.

(5) If the transferor disposes of shares comprised in the new assets, being some but not all of the shares of a particular class which are so comprised ( so that the disposal constitutes a part disposal), then a fraction only of the amount apportioned to all the shares of that class under sub-paragraph (2)(c) above shall be treated as mentioned in the preceding sub-paragraph, and that fraction shall be the fraction of the sums mentioned in the following sub-paragraph which is allowable as a deduction in computing under [Chapter II of Part II of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F113 ] the amount of the gain accruing on that part disposal.

(6) The sums referred to in the preceding sub-paragraph are the sums which, if all the shares of the class in question comprised in the new assets and remaining undisposed of immediately before the time of the part disposal in question had been disposed of at that time, would be allowable by virtue of [section 32(1)(a) and (b) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F113 ] as a deduction in computing under [Chapter II of Part II of that ActF113 ] the gain accruing on the disposal of all those shares.

(7) Where an individual to whom a development gain is treated as accruing by virtue of this paragraph makes a claim under paragraph 2 of Schedule 7 to this Act as respects that gain, sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) of that paragraph shall have effect in relation to that claim subject to the following modifications, that is to say—

(a) the references to the interval between the claimant’s acquisition and disposal of the asset on the disposal of which the development gain accrued to him shall be read as references to the interval between the date when he acquired any of those assets of the business which caused development gains to accrue to him in respect of the original disposal and the date of the original disposal; and

(b) the references to “the date of the disposal” shall be read as references to the date of the disposal of shares comprised in the new assets which is mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) or (5) above, as the case may be.]

(2) Subsection (1) of the principal section shall not apply to a relevant person’s interest in the relevant land on the material date unless on that date—

(a) the relevant land is wholly or partly let under one or more leases granted by him; and

(b) the rent or aggregate of the rents to which he is entitled under the lease or leases is £5,000 or more per annum,

and shall in any case not apply to his interest in so much, if any, of the relevant land as is occupied by him on that date.

For the purposes of this and the following sub-paragraph a relevant person who on any date occupies not less than 90 per cent. of the floor area of the relevant chargeable building shall be deemed to occupy on that date the whole of so much of the relevant land as is then subject to his interest (and references to occupation in this and the following sub-paragraph shall be construed accordingly).

(3) Where by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) above subsection (1) of the principal section does not apply—

(a) to a relevant person’s interest in the relevant land on the material date by reason of his occupation of so much of that land as is subject to that interest; or

(b) to a relevant person’s interest in that land on that date so far as it is not occupied by him,

then, if within the five-year period the rent or aggregate of the rents to which he is entitled under any lease or leases by which he has let the whole or any part or parts of the relevant land becomes £5,000 or more per annum, he shall be deemed for the purposes of [ the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 F115 ] and Chapter I of this Part of this Act to have on the subsequent date disposed of and immediately re-acquired for a consideration equal to its market value his interest in so much of the relevant land as is not on the subsequent date occupied by himF116 .

(b) in a case where sub-paragraph (3) above applies to his interest on the subsequent date in so much of the relevant land as was not occupied by him on that date, ceases to occupy any part of the relevant land which was occupied by him on that date,

U.K.

(2) Subsection (1) of the principal section shall not apply to a person’s freehold interest in the whole or part of the relevant land or to the interest of a lessee under a lease of the whole or part of the relevant land if at the material date—

(b) that interest is subject to one or more leases or agreements for a lease extending, or together extending, to the whole of so much of the relevant land as is subject to that interest, and the rent or aggregate of the rents to which he is or is to be entitled under or by virtue of the said one or more leases or agreements is less than £5,000 per annum and cannot reasonably be expected to be increased to or above £5,000 per annum within the five-year period; or

(a) in the said subsection (1)(b), after the word “premium” there were inserted the words “(if any)”;
