(1)For the purposes of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (in this section referred to as " the principal Act"), in any case where,—

(a)by way of two or more material transactions which are linked (in this section referred to as a series of linked transactions), one person disposes of assets to another person with whom he is connected or to two or more other persons with each of whom he is connected, and

(b)the original market value of the assets disposed of by any of the transactions in the series, as determined under Schedule 21 to this Act, is less than the appropriate portion of the aggregate market value of the assets disposed of by all the transactions in the series, as so determined,

then, subject to subsection (2) below, the disposal effected by any linked transaction in the series in respect of which the condition in paragraph (b) above is fulfilled shall be deemed to be for a consideration equal to the appropriate portion referred to in that paragraph.

(2)Where the disposal effected by a material transaction is one to which section 44 of the principal Act applies (disposals of assets between husband and wife) nothing in subsection (1) above shall affect the amount which, for the purposes of the principal Act, is the consideration for that disposal.

(3)Subject to subsections (6) to (8) below, any reference in this section to a material transaction is a reference to a transaction by way of gift or otherwise which takes place after 19th March 1985 ; and for the purposes of this section two or more material transactions are linked if they occur within the period of six years ending on the date of the last of them.

(4)This section shall apply or, as the case may be, shall again apply—

(a)when a second material transaction causes a series of linked transactions to come into being ; and

(b)whenever, on the occurrence of a further material transaction, an existing series is extended by the inclusion of that transaction (whether or not an earlier transaction ceases to form part of the series);

and all such assessments and adjustments of assessments shall be made as may be necessary to give effect to this section on each such occasion.

(5)In consequence of the preceding provisions of this section, any gift or other transaction which occurs after 19th March 1985 shall be disregarded for the purposes of section 151 of the principal Act (the previous code for assets disposed of in a series of transactions).

(6)Where a member of a group of companies disposes of an asset to another member of the group in circumstances such that, by virtue of section 273 of the Taxes Act, both companies are treated, so far as relates to corporation tax on chargeable gains, as if the consideration for the disposal were of such an amount as would secure that neither a gain nor a loss would accrue, the transaction by which that disposal is effected is not a material transaction; and a disposal in these circumstances is in this section referred to as an " inter-group transfer ".

(7)In any case where—

(a)a company (in this subsection referred to as " company A ") disposes of an asset by way of a material transaction, and

(b)company A acquired the asset after 19th March 1985 by way of an inter-group transfer, and

(c)the disposal by company A is to a person who is connected with another company (in this subsection referred to as " company B ") which at some time after 19th March 1985 disposed of the asset by way of an inter-group transfer, and

(d)either the disposal by way of inter-group transfer which is referred to in paragraph (c) above was the occasion of the acquisition referred to in paragraph (b) above or, between that disposal and that acquisition, there has been no disposal of the asset which was not an inter-group transfer,

then, for the purpose of determining whether subsection (1) above applies in relation to a series of linked transactions, the disposal by company A shall be treated as having been made by company B; but any increase in the consideration for that disposal resulting from the application of subsection (1) above shall have effect with respect to company A.

(8)In any case where one or more transactions occur on or before 19th March 1985 and one or more transactions occur after that date in circumstances such that—

(a)if all the transactions had occurred before that date, section 151 of the principal Act would have applied in relation to them, and

(b)if all the transactions occurred after that date, subsection (1) above would apply to them,

such of the transactions which occurred on or before that date as occurred not more than two years before the first of the transactions occurring after that date shall be treated as material transactions.

72Commodity and financial futures and traded options

(1)If, apart from this subsection, gains arising to any person in the course of dealing in commodity or financial futures or in traded options would constitute, for the purposes of the Tax Acts, profits or gains chargeable to tax under Schedule D otherwise than as the profits of a trade, then, on and after 6th April 1985 —

(a)his outstanding obligations under any futures contract entered into in the course of that dealing and any traded option granted or acquired in the course of that dealing shall be regarded as assets to the disposal of which the [1979 c. 14.] Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (in this section referred to as " the principal Act") applies; and

(b)any gain arising in the course of that dealing shall not be chargeable to tax under Schedule D and any loss so arising shall not be allowable against profits or gains which are so chargeable.

(2)In subsection (1) above— (a) " commodity or financial futures " means commodity futures or financial futures which are for the time being dealt in on a recognised futures exchange, within the meaning of the principal Act; and

(b)"traded option" has the meaning given by section 137(9) of that Act.

(3)For the purposes of the principal Act, where, in the course of dealing in commodity or financial futures, a person who has entered into a futures contract closes out that contract by entering into another futures contract with obligations which are reciprocal to those of the first-mentioned contract, that transaction shall constitute the disposal of an asset (namely, his outstanding obligations under the first-mentioned contract) and, accordingly,—

(a)any money or money's worth received by him on that transaction shall constitute consideration for the disposal ; and

(b)any money or money's worth paid or given by him on that transaction shall be treated as incidental costs to him of making the disposal.

(4)In any case where,—

(a)a person who, in the course of dealing in financial futures, has entered into a futures contract does not close out that contract (as mentioned in subsection (3) above), and

(b)the nature of the futures contract is such that, at its expiry date, the person concerned is entitled to receive or liable to make a payment in full settlement of all obligations under that contract,

then, for the purposes of the principal Act, he shall be treated as having disposed of an asset (namely, his outstanding obligations under the futures contract) and the payment received or made by him shall be treated as consideration for that disposal or, as the case may be, as incidental costs to him of making the disposal.

(5)In section 137(9) of the principal Act (options and forfeited deposits) for the words " the London International Financial Futures Exchange " there shall be substituted " a recognised futures exchange".

(6)In section 155 of the principal Act (interpretation) after subsection (3) there shall be inserted the following subsections—

(3A)In this Act ' recognised futures exchange ' means the London International Financial Futures Exchange and any other futures exchange which is for the time being designated for the purposes of this Act by order made by the Board.

(3B)An order made by the Board under subsection (3A) above—

(a)may designate a futures exchange by name or by reference to any class or description of futures exchanges, including, in the case of futures exchanges in a country outside the United Kingdom, a class or description framed by reference to any authority or approval given in that country; and

(b)may contain such transitional and other supplemental provisions as appear to the Board to be necessary or expedient.

(7)Nothing in subsection (1) above affects the operation of section 312 of the Taxes Act (annuity business of insurance companies: separate charge on profits).
