M1(1)If, in the case of a substitution of policies falling within paragraph 25(1) or (3) of Schedule 15, the new policy is a qualifying policy, section 540 shall have effect with the following modifications—
(a)the surrender of the rights conferred by the old policy shall not be a chargeable event (within the meaning of that section); and
(b)the new policy shall be treated as having been issued in respect of an insurance made on the day referred to in paragraph 26 of that Schedule.
(2)If at any time neither the conditions in sub-paragraph (3) nor those in sub-paragraph (4) of paragraph 24 of Schedule 15 are fulfilled with respect to a new non-resident policy which has previously become a qualifying policy, then, from that time onwards, this Chapter shall apply in relation to the policy as if it were not a qualifying policy.
(3)Subject to subsection (5) below, on the happening of a chargeable event in relation to a new non-resident policy or a new offshore capital redemption policy, the amount which, apart from this subsection, would by virtue of section 541 be treated as a gain arising in connection with the policy shall be reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
where—
A is the number of days on which the policy holder was resident in the United Kingdom in the period for which the policy has run before the happening of the chargeable event; and
B is the number of days in that period.
(4)The calculation of the number of days in the period referred to in subsection (3) above shall be made in like manner as is provided in section 550(4), substituting a reference to the number of days for the reference to the number of years.
(5)If, on the happening of the chargeable event referred to in subsection (3) above or at any time during the period referred to in that subsection, the policy is or was held by a trustee resident outside the United Kingdom or by two or more trustees any of whom is or was so resident, no reduction shall be made under that subsection unless—
(a)the policy was issued in respect of an insurance made on or before 19th March 1985; and
(b)on that date the policy was held by a trustee who was so resident or, as the case may be, by two or more trustees any of whom was so resident.
(6)Subject to subsection (7) below, where, under section 541, a gain (reduced in accordance with subsection (3) above) is to be treated as arising in connection with a new non-resident policy or a new offshore capital redemption policy—
(a)section 547 shall have effect, in relation to the gain, as if subsection (5) were omitted; and
(b)the gain shall be chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D;
but any relief under section 550 shall be computed as if this subsection had not been enacted.
(7)Paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (6) above do not apply to a gain arising in connection with a new non-resident policy if the conditions in either sub-paragraph (3) or sub-paragraph (4) of paragraph 24 of Schedule 15 are fulfilled at all times between the date on which the policy was issued and the date on which the gain is treated as arising.
(8)Where a claim is made under section 550 in respect of the amount of a gain treated as arising in connection with a new non-resident policy or a new offshore capital redemption policy (with or without other amounts), the “appropriate fraction” which, in accordance with subsection (2) of that section, is to be applied to that amount shall be modified by deducting from the number of complete years referred to in subsection (3) of that section any complete years during which the policy holder was not resident in the United Kingdom.
(9)Subsection (5) of section 550 shall not apply in relation to a new non-resident policy or a new offshore capital redemption policy.
(10)In this section—
“chargeable event” has, subject to subsection (1) above, the meaning given by section 540 or, as the case may be, 545;
“new non-resident policy” has the meaning given by paragraph 24 of Schedule 15; and
“new offshore capital redemption policy” means a capital redemption policy, as defined in section 539(3), which—
is issued in respect of an insurance made after 22nd February 1984; and
is so issued by a company resident outside the United Kingdom.
