You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, Section 732 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 14 October 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation.

M1(1)Subject to the provisions of this section, if the first buyer is engaged in carrying on a trade which consists of or comprises dealing in securities, then, in computing for any of the purposes of the Tax Acts the profits arising from or loss sustained in the trade, the price paid by him for the securities shall be reduced by the appropriate amount in respect of the interest, as determined in accordance with section 735.
(2)Subsection (1) above shall not apply if the subsequent sale is carried out by the first buyer after 26th October 1986 in the ordinary course of his business as a market maker in securities of the kind concerned.
[F1(2A)Subsection (1) above shall not apply in prescribed circumstances if—
(a)the first buyer is—
(i)a prescribed recognised clearing house, or
(ii)a member, of a prescribed class or description, of a prescribed recognised investment exchange, and
(b)the subsequent sale is carried out by the first buyer after a prescribed date and in the ordinary course of his business.]
(3)Subsection (1) above shall not apply if the purchase of the securities by the first buyer and their resale, or as the case may be the subsequent sale of similar securities, constitute a transaction which is to be left out of account in computing profits or losses by virtue of section 729(4), or a transaction which would fall to be so left out of account apart from section 729(8).
(4)Subsection (1) above shall not apply if the securities are overseas securities bought by the first buyer on a stock exchange outside the United Kingdom in the ordinary course of his trade as a dealer in securities and the following conditions are satisfied, namely—
(a)the interest is brought into account in computing for the purposes of the Tax Acts the profits arising from or loss sustained in the trade, and
(b)where credit against tax would fall to be allowed in respect of the interest under section 788 or 790, the first buyer elects that credit shall not be so allowed.
In this subsection “overseas securities” means securities of the government of, or of a body of persons resident in, any country or territory outside the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
(5)Subsection (1) above shall not apply if the securities are Eurobonds bought by the first buyer in the ordinary course of his trade as a dealer in Eurobonds; and in this subsection “Eurobond” means a security—
(a)which is neither preference stock nor preference share capital; and
(b)which is issued in bearer form; and
(c)which carries a right to interest either at a fixed rate or at a rate bearing a fixed relationship to a standard published base rate; and
(d)which does not carry a right to any other form of benefit, whether in the nature of interest, participation in profits or otherwise; and
(e)the interest on which is payable without any deduction in respect of income tax or of any tax of a similar character imposed by the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom;
but, notwithstanding anything in paragraph (d) above, a security is not prevented from being a Eurobond by reason only that it carries a right to convert into a security of another description or to subscribe for further securities (whether of the same description or not).
[F2(5A)Subsection (1) above shall not apply if the securities are rights in a unit trust scheme and the subsequent sale is carried out by the first buyer in the ordinary course of his business as manager of the scheme.]
(6)For the purposes of subsection (2) above a person is a market maker in securities of a particular kind if he—
(a)holds himself out at all normal times in compliance with the rules of the Stock Exchange as willing to buy and sell securities of that kind at a price specified by him; and
(b)is recognised as doing so by the Council of the Stock Exchange.
[F3(7)For the purposes of subsection (2A) above—
“prescribed” means prescribed in regulations made by the Treasury;
“recognised clearing house” means a recognised clearing house within the meaning of the Financial Services Act 1986;
“recognised investment exchange” means a recognised investment exchange within the meaning of that Act.]
