Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988

7 (1) M1 Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) below, there is a disposal of a deep discount security for the purposes of this Schedule if there would be such a disposal for the purposes of the [F1 1992] Act.

(2) Notwithstanding anything in section [F1 62(1)(b)] of that Act (no deemed disposal on death), where the assets of which a deceased person was competent to dispose include any deep discount security that security shall, for the purposes of this Schedule, be deemed to have been disposed of by the deceased immediately before his death.

(3) M2 In any case where—

(a) there is a conversion of securities to which section [F1 132] of the [F1 1992] Act applies and those securities include deep discount securities; or

(b) securities including deep discount securities are exchanged (or by virtue of section [F1 136(1)] of that Act are treated as exchanged) for other securities in circumstances in which section [F1 135(3)] of that Act applies,

then the securities converted or exchanged shall (subject to sub-paragraph (4) below and notwithstanding section [F1 127] of that Act) be treated for the purposes of the charge to tax under paragraph 4 above as having been disposed of immediately before the time of the conversion, or, as the case may be, the exchange, by the person who was the beneficial owner of the securities at that time.

(4) M3 Where a person would (but for this sub-paragraph) be treated by sub-paragraph (3) above as having, for the purposes of paragraph 4 above, disposed of deep discount securities, other than chargeable securities, which are converted into, or exchanged for, other deep discount securities—

(a) he shall not be so treated—

(i) if the date which is the redemption date in relation to the new securities is not later than the date which was the redemption date in relation to the converted or exchanged securities; and

(ii) no consideration is given for the conversion or exchange other than the new securities; but

(b) the amount of the accrued income attributable to his period of ownership of the converted or exchanged securities (including any amount added by virtue of the previous operation of this paragraph) shall be added to the amount of the accrued income attributable to his period of ownership of the new securities.
