(2)If securities are transferred with accrued interest—

(a)the transferor shall be treated as entitled to a sum on them in the period of an amount equal to the accrued amount; and

(b)the transferee shall be treated as entitled to relief on them in the period of the same amount.

(3)If securities are transferred without accrued interest—

(a)the transferor shall be treated as entitled to relief on them in the period of an amount equal to the rebate amount; and

(b)the transferee shall be treated as entitled to a sum on them in the period of the same amount.

(4)In subsection (2) above “the accrued amount” means—

(a)if the securities are transferred under an arrangement by virtue of which the transferee accounts to the transferor separately for the consideration for the securities and for gross interest accruing to the settlement day, an amount equal to the amount (if any) of gross interest so accounted for; and

(b)in any other case, an amount equal to the accrued proportion of the interest applicable to the securities for the period.

(5)In subsection (3) above “the rebate amount” means—

(a)if the securities are transferred under an arrangement by virtue of which the transferor accounts to the transferee for gross interest accruing from the settlement day to the next interest payment day, an amount equal to the amount (if any) of gross interest so accounted for; and

(b)in any other case, an amount equal to the rebate proportion of the interest applicable to the securities for the period.

(6)In this section—

(a)the accrued proportion is—

(b)the rebate proportion is—

where—

  • B is the number of days in the period.

(7)M2For the purposes of subsection (2) above, in a case where the interest on the securities is payable in a currency other than sterling the accrued amount is to be determined as follows—

(a)if subsection (4)(a) above applies and the sterling equivalent of the amount of gross interest there mentioned is shown in an agreement for transfer, the accrued amount is the sterling equivalent so shown;

(b)if subsection (4)(a) applies but paragraph (a) above does not, or if subsection (4)(b) above applies, the accrued amount is the sterling equivalent on the settlement day of the amount found by virtue of subsection (4)(a) or (b) (as the case may be).

(8)For the purposes of subsection (3) above, in a case where the interest on the securities is payable in a currency other than sterling the rebate amount is to be determined as follows—

(a)if subsection (5)(a) above applies and the sterling equivalent of the amount of gross interest there mentioned is shown in an agreement for transfer, the rebate amount is the sterling equivalent so shown;

(b)if subsection (5)(a) applies but paragraph (a) above does not, or if subsection (5)(b) above applies, the rebate amount is the sterling equivalent on the settlement day of the amount found by virtue of subsection (5)(a) or (b) (as the case may be).

(9)M3For the purposes of subsections (7) and (8) above the sterling equivalent of an amount on a particular day is the sterling equivalent calculated by reference to the London closing rate of exchange for that day.

(2)Where the settlement day falls within an interest period, section 714 shall (subject to subsection (5) below) apply as if the transferor were entitled under section 713 to a sum on them in the period of an amount equal to the unrealised interest (in addition to any other sum to which he may be treated as so entitled).

719 Unrealised interest in defaultU.K.

M19(1)Where securities are transferred as mentioned in section 716(1) and, because of any failure to fulfil the obligation to pay interest on them, the value (on the day of the transfer) of the right to receive the unrealised interest is less than the amount of the unrealised interest, section 716 shall have effect as modified by subsections (2) to (4) below.

(2)In subsections (2) and (3) for “the unrealised interest” there shall be substituted “ amount A ”.

(3)For subsection (4) there shall be substituted—

(4)Where the transferee receives an amount by way of the unrealised interest (amount B) and that amount falls to be taken into account in computing tax charged for the chargeable period in which it is received, it shall for the purposes of the Tax Acts be treated as reduced by an amount (amount C) equal to—

(a)nil, if the amounts have been previously received by the transferee by way of the unrealised interest and their aggregate is equal to or greater than the value (on the day of the transfer to the transferee) of the right to receive the unrealised interest;

(b)amount B, if that value is equal to or greater than amount B (aggregated with other amounts previously so received, if any);

(c)that value, if no amount has been previously so received and that value is less than amount B; or

(d)so much of that value as exceeds the aggregate of amounts previously so received, in any other case..

(4)The following shall be substituted for subsection (6)—

(6)In this section “amount A” means, in a case where the transferor acquired the securities on or after 28th February 1986 with the right to received unrealised interest—

(a)an amount equal to amount D less amount E; or

(b)if amount D is equal to or less than amount E, nil.

(7)In this section “amount A” means, in a case not falling within subsection (6) above, an amount equal to amount D.

(8)In this section “amount D” means an amount equal to the value (on the day of the transfer by the transferor) of the right to receive the unrealised interest.

(9)In this section “amount E” means, in a case where the transferor (as transferee) has received in respect of the securities an amount or amounts falling within subsection (4) above—

(a)an amount equal to amount F less the total received; or

(b)if amount F is equal to or less than the total received, nil.

(10)In this section “amount E” means, in any other case, an amount equal to amount F.

(11)In this section “amount F” means an amount equal to the value (on the day of the transfer to the transferor) of the right to receive the unrealised interest.

(12)In determining for the purposes of this section which securities of a particular kind a person has transferred, he is to be taken to have transferred securities of that kind which he acquired later before securities of that kind which he acquired earlier.

(13)Where the unrealised interest is payable in a currency other than sterling—

(a)any amount received by way of the interest is for the purposes of this section the sterling equivalent on the day it is received of the amount it would be apart from this subsection; and

(b)the value (on the day of a transfer) of the right to receive the interest is for the purposes of this section the sterling equivalent (on that day) of the value it would be apart from this subsection;

and for this purpose the sterling equivalent is to be calculated by reference to the London closing rate of exchange for the day concerned.
