(2)Where this subsection applies—

(a)the additional shares or the interest in them shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as having been acquired as mentioned in section 77 above and as having been acquired at the same time as the originally-acquired shares or the interest in them;

(b)for the purposes of section 79 above, the additional shares and the originally-acquired shares shall be treated as one holding of shares and the value of the shares comprised in that holding at any time shall be determined accordingly (the value of the originally-acquired shares at the time of acquisition being attributed proportionately to all the shares in the holding); and

(c)for the purposes of that section, any consideration given for the acquisition of the additional shares or the interest in them shall be taken to be an increase falling within subsection (5) of that section in the consideration for the original acquisition.

(3)If, on a person ceasing to have a beneficial interest in any shares, he acquires other shares or an interest in other shares and the circumstances are such that, for the purposes of sections 78 to 81 of the M1Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (reorganisations etc.) the shares in which he ceases to have a beneficial interest constitute “original shares” and the other shares constitute a “new holding”—

(a)section 78 of that Act (which equates the original shares and the new holding) shall apply for the purposes of this Chapter; and

(b)if any such consideration is given for the new holding as is mentioned in section 79(1) of that Act, it shall be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as an increase falling within section 79(5) above in the consideration for the shares; and

(c)if any such consideration is received for the disposal of the original shares as is mentioned in section 79(2) of that Act, the consideration shall be apportioned among the shares comprised in the new holding and the amount which, apart from this paragraph, would at any subsequent time be the value of any of those shares shall be taken to be increased by the amount of the consideration apportioned to them.

(2)For the purposes of this Chapter, where a person who acquires shares or an interest in shares disposes of the shares or interest otherwise than by a bargain at arm’s length with a person who is not connected with him, he shall be deemed to continue to have a beneficial interest in the shares until there is a disposal of the shares or interest by such a bargain.
