Valuation of trading stock etc. U.K.

100 Valuation of trading stock at discontinuance of trade. U.K.

(1) M1 In computing for [F2 any corporation tax purpose] the [F3 profits] of a trade which has been discontinued, any trading stock belonging to the trade at the discontinuance shall be valued as follows—

(a) if—

(i) the stock is sold or transferred for valuable consideration to a person who carries on, or intends to carry on, a trade in the United Kingdom, and

(ii) the cost of the stock may be deducted by the purchaser as an expense in computing for any tax purpose the [F3 profits] of that trade,

the value of the stock shall be taken to be the amount [F4 determined in accordance with subsections (1A) to (1C) below; and]

(b) if the stock does not fall to be valued under paragraph (a) above, its value shall be taken to be the amount which it would have realised if it had been sold in the open market at the discontinuance of the trade.

[F5 (1ZA) This section does not apply in relation to any trading stock if paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 28AA (provision not at arm’s length) has effect in relation to any provision made or imposed in relation to that stock and having effect in connection with the discontinuance of the trade.]

[F6 (1A) Subject to subsections (1B) and (1C) below and to paragraph 2 of Schedule 12 to the M2 Finance Act 1988 (gilt-edged securities and other financial trading stock), the value of any trading stock falling to be valued under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above shall be taken—

(a) except where the person to whom it is sold or transferred is connected with [F7 the company which] makes the sale or transfer, to be the amount (“the price actually received for it”) which is in fact realised on the sale or, as the case may be, which is in fact the value of the consideration given for the transfer; and

(b) if [F8 that person and that company] are connected with each other, to be what would have been the price actually received for it had the sale or transfer been a transaction between independent persons dealing at arm’s length.

(1B) In a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above—

(a) F9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(b) stock sold in circumstances in which the amount realised on the sale would be taken to be an amount determined in accordance with paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 shall be taken to have the value so determined, instead of the value for which subsection (1A)(a) or (b) above provides.

(1C) If—

(a) trading stock is sold or transferred to a person in circumstances where paragraph (b) of subsection (1A) above would apply (apart from this subsection) for determining the value of the stock so sold or transferred,

(b) the amount which would be taken in accordance with that paragraph to be the value of all of the stock sold or transferred to that person is more than the acquisition value of that stock and also more than the price actually received for it, and

(c) both parties to the sale or transfer, by notice signed by them and sent to the inspector no later than two years after the end of the [F10 accounting period] in which the trade is discontinued, elect that this subsection shall apply,

then the stock sold or transferred to that person shall be taken to have a value equal to whichever is the greater (taking all the stock so sold or transferred together) of its acquisition value and the price actually received for it or, in a case where they are the same, to either of them.

(1D) In subsection (1C) above “acquisition value”, in relation to any trading stock, means the amount which, in computing for any [F11 corporation] tax purposes the [F3 profits] of the discontinued trade, would have been deductible as representing the acquisition value of that stock if—

(a) the stock had, immediately before the discontinuance, been sold in the course of the trade for a price equal to whatever would be its value in accordance with subsection (1A)(b) above; and

(b) the period for which those [F3 profits] were to be computed began immediately before the sale.

(1E) [F12 Where the value of the trading stock is determined in accordance with subsections (1A) to (1C) above, or sections 176 to 178 of ITTOIA 2005 or section 127 of that Act (by virtue of section 175(3)) (corresponding provisions for income tax purposes),] the amount to be brought into account as the value of that stock in computing [F3 profits] of the discontinued trade shall also be taken, for the purpose of making [F13 for corporation tax purposes] any deduction in computing the [F3 profits] of any trade carried on by the purchaser, to be the cost of that stock to the purchaser.

(1F) For the purposes of this section two persons are connected with each other if—

(a) they are connected with each other within the meaning of section 839;

(b) one of them is a partnership and the other has a right to a share in the partnership;

(c) one of them is a body corporate and the other has control over that body;

(d) both of them are partnerships and some other person has a right to a share in each of them; or

(e) both of them are bodies corporate or one of them is a partnership and the other is a body corporate and, in either case, some other person has control over both of them;

and in this subsection the references to a right to a share in a partnership are references to a right to a share of the assets or income of the partnership and “control” has the meaning given by section 840.

(1G) In this section “purchaser”, in relation to a transfer otherwise than by sale, means the person to whom the transfer is made.]

(2) M3 For the purposes of this section “trading stock”, in relation to any trade—

(a) means property of any description, whether real or personal, being either—

(i) property such as is sold in the ordinary course of the trade, or would be so sold if it were mature or if its manufacture, preparation or construction were complete; or

(ii) materials such as are used in the manufacture, preparation or construction of any such property as is referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above; and

(b) includes also any services, article or material which would, if the trade were a profession F14 . . . , be treated, for the purposes of section 101, as work in progress of the profession F14 . . . , and references to the sale or transfer of trading stock shall be construed accordingly.

[F15 (3) Where trading stock falling to be valued under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above is sold or transferred together with other assets, so much of the amount realised on the sale or, as the case may be, of the value of the consideration given for the transfer as on a just and reasonable apportionment is properly attributable to each asset shall be treated for the purposes of this section as the amount realised on the sale or, as the case may be, the value of the consideration given for the transfer, of that asset.]

(a) any loss, expense or debit (not being a loss, expense or debit arising directly or indirectly from the discontinuance itself) which, if the trade, profession or vocation had not been discontinued, would have been deducted in computing for tax purposes the [F59 profits] of the person by whom it was carried on before the discontinuance, or would have been deducted from or set off against those [F59 profits] as so computed, and

(b) any capital allowance to which the person who carried on the trade, profession or vocation was entitled immediately before the discontinuance and to which effect has not been given by way of relief before the discontinuance.

(2) No amount shall be deducted under subsection (1) above if that amount has been allowed under any other provision of the Tax Acts [F60 or by virtue of section 90(4) of the Finance Act 1995].

(3) No amount shall be deducted more than once under subsection (1) above; and—

(a) any expense or debit shall be apportioned between a sum chargeable under section 103 and a sum chargeable under section 104(1) in such manner as may be just;

(b) as between sums chargeable, whether under section 103 or 104(1), for one [F61 accounting period] and sums so charged for a subsequent [F61 accounting period], any deduction in respect of a loss or capital allowance shall be made against sums chargeable for the earlier [F61 accounting period];

(c) subject to paragraph (b) above, as between sums chargeable for any [F61 accounting period] under section 103 and sums so chargeable under section 104(1), any deduction in respect of a loss or capital allowance shall be made against the last-mentioned sums rather than the first-mentioned;
