571 Cancellation of certificates. U.K.

M5 (1) Where any certificate granted with respect to a scheme under section 568 is cancelled by the Secretary of State, and any deductible contributions paid in furtherance of the scheme have not been repaid at the expiration of one year from the cancellation, the body of persons carrying out the scheme shall, for the chargeable period in which that year expires, be charged to tax F147 . . . upon the aggregate amount of the deductible contributions which have not been repaid at that time.

[F148 (1A) An amount charged to income tax under subsection (1) above is treated for income tax purposes as an amount of income.]

[F149 (1B) So far as relating to corporation tax, the charge to tax under subsection (1) has effect as an application of the charge to corporation tax on income.]

(2) The charge to tax under subsection (1) above shall not be made if the total amount of any contributions, other than deductible contributions, which have been paid under the scheme and have not been repaid before that time is greater than the available resources of the scheme, and shall not in any case be made upon an amount greater than the excess, if any, of those resources over that total amount.

(3) In subsection (2) above “the available resources”, in relation to any scheme, means a sum representing the total funds held for the purposes of the scheme at the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate plus a sum representing any funds held for the purposes of the scheme which, during that year, have been applied otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted.

(4) Where the body of persons carrying out a scheme are charged to tax by virtue of subsection (1) above, and, after the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate, any deductible contribution paid in furtherance of the scheme is repaid, the amount upon which the charge is made shall on the making of a claim be reduced by the amount repaid, and all such repayments of tax shall be made as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this subsection.

(5) In this section “contribution” includes a part of a contribution, and “deductible contribution” means a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568, any reduction under Part III of Schedule 21 being left out of account.

(6) For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.

(a) shares for which [F171 it] has subscribed (“qualifying shares”); and

(b) shares which [F171 it] has acquired otherwise than by subscription,

any question whether a disposal by [F171 it] of shares forming part of the holding is of qualifying shares shall be determined by treating that and any previous disposal by [F171 it] out of the holding as relating to shares acquired later rather than earlier; and if a disposal by [F171 it] is of qualifying shares forming part of a holding and [F171 it] makes a claim under section 573 F172 . . . in respect of a loss incurred on their disposal, the amount of relief under that section on the disposal shall not exceed the sums that would be allowed as deductions in computing the loss if the shares had not been part of the holding.

(b) which have been held continuously (within the meaning of paragraph 97 of that Schedule) from the time they were issued until the disposal,

any such question as is mentioned in that subsection shall not be determined as provided by that subsection, but shall be determined instead as provided by paragraph 93 of that Schedule (identification of shares on a disposal of part of a holding where investment relief is attributable to any shares in the holding held continuously by the disposing company).

For this purpose paragraph 93 of that Schedule shall have effect as if the references in it to a disposal had the same meaning as in subsection (1) above.]

(1) M10 Where [F236 a company is chargeable to corporation tax] by reference to the amount of any income arising in a territory outside the United Kingdom (“overseas income”), then [F237 for the purposes of corporation tax] this section shall apply to the overseas income in so far as—

(a) [F238 the company] is prevented from transferring the amount of the overseas income to the United Kingdom, either by the laws of that territory or any executive action of its government or by the impossibility of obtaining foreign currency in that territory; and

(b) [F238 the company] has not realised the overseas income outside that territory for a consideration in sterling or a consideration in some other currency which [F238 the company] is not prevented from transferring to the United Kingdom.

Overseas income to which this section applies is referred to below as unremittable.

[F239 (2) Subject to subsection (2A) below, where [F240 a company] so chargeable makes a claim under this subsection in relation to any overseas income—

(b) to which subsection (1)(a) above will continue to apply notwithstanding any reasonable endeavours on [F241 its] part,

then, in the first instance, account shall not be taken of that income, [F242 and corporation tax shall be assessable] and shall be charged on all persons concerned and for all periods accordingly.

(2A) If on any date paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) above ceases to apply to any part of any overseas income in relation to which a claim has been made under that subsection—

(a) that part of the income shall be treated as income arising on that date, and

(b) account shall be taken of it, and of any tax payable in respect of it under the law of the territory where it arises, according to their value at that date.]

(4) Where [F243 [F244 a company becomes chargeable to] corporation tax in respect of income from any source by virtue of subsection (2) or (2A)] above after it has ceased to possess that source of income, the income shall be chargeable under Case VI of Schedule D.

(5) M11 Where under an agreement entered into under arrangements made by the Secretary of State in pursuance of section 11 of the M12 Export Guarantees and Overseas Investment Act 1978 any payment is made by the Export Credit Guarantee Department in respect of any income which cannot be transferred to the United Kingdom, then, to the extent of the payment, the income shall be treated as income [F245 to which paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2) above do not apply (and accordingly cannot cease to apply)].

[F256 587B [F255 Gifts of shares, securities and real property to charities etc] U.K.

(1) [F257 Subsection (2) below applies] where, otherwise than by way of a bargain made at arm’s length, [F258 a company which is not itself a charity] disposes of the whole of the beneficial interest in a qualifying investment to a charity.

(2) On a claim made in that behalf to an officer of the Board—

(a) the relevant amount shall be allowed—

(i) F259 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[F265 (4) Subject to subsections (5) to (7) below, the relevant amount is an amount equal to—

(a) where the disposal is a gift, the value of the net benefit to the charity at, or immediately after, the time when the disposal is made (whichever time gives the lower value);

(b) where the disposal is at an undervalue, the amount by which—

(i) the value described in paragraph (a) above, exceeds

(ii) the amount or value of the consideration for the disposal,

or, if there is no such excess, nil.]

(5) Where there are one or more benefits received in consequence of making the disposal which are received by [F266 the company] making the disposal or a person connected with [F267 it], the relevant amount shall be reduced by the value of that benefit or, as the case may be, the aggregate value of those benefits; and section 839 applies for the purposes of this subsection.

(6) Where the disposal is a gift, the relevant amount shall be increased by the amount of the incidental costs of making the disposal to the [F268 company] making it.

(7) Where the disposal is at an undervalue—

(a) to the extent that the consideration for the disposal is less than that for which the disposal is treated as made by virtue of section 257(2)(a) of the 1992 Act, the relevant amount shall be increased by the amount of the incidental costs of making the disposal to the [F269 company] making it; and

(b) section 48 of that Act (consideration due after time of disposal) shall apply in relation to the computation of the relevant amount as it applies in relation to the computation of a gain.

(8) F270 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[F271 (8A) The value of the net benefit to the charity is—

(b) where that subsection applies, that market value reduced by the aggregate amount of the related liabilities of the charity (see subsections (8E) to (8G)).

(8B) This subsection applies in any case where—

(a) the charity is, or becomes, subject to an obligation to any person (whether or not [F272 the company] making the disposal or a person connected with [F273 it]), and

(b) one or more of the conditions in subsection (8C) below is satisfied.

(8C) For the purposes of subsection (8B) above—

(a) condition 1 is that, taking into account all the circumstances (including, in particular, the difference in the value of the net benefit to the charity if subsection (8B) applies and if it does not), it is reasonable to suppose that the disposal of the qualifying investment to the charity would not have been made in the absence of the obligation;

(b) condition 2 is that the obligation (whether in whole or in part) relates to, is framed by reference to, or is conditional on the charity receiving, the qualifying investment or a related investment (see subsection (8D)).

(8D) In subsection (8C) above “related investment” means any of the following—

(a) any asset of the same class or description as the qualifying investment (irrespective of size, quantity or amount);

(b) any asset derived from, or representing, the qualifying investment whether in whole or in part and whether directly or indirectly;

(c) any asset from which the qualifying investment is derived, or which the qualifying investment represents, whether in whole or in part and whether directly or indirectly.

(8E) For the purposes of this section, the liabilities which are related liabilities in the case of any qualifying investment are the liabilities of the charity under each of the obligations that fall within subsection (8B) above (as read with subsection (8C) above) in relation to that investment.

(8F) Where an obligation is contingent and the contingency occurs, the amount to be brought into account for the purposes of this section at any time in respect of the liability, so far as contingent, under the obligation is the amount or value of the liability actually incurred in consequence of the occurrence of the contingency.

(8G) Where an obligation is contingent and the contingency does not occur, the amount to be brought into account for the purposes of this section at any time in respect of the liability, so far as contingent, is nil.]
