96Assets held on 31st March 1982(1)

This section applies to a disposal on or after 6th April 1988 of an asset which was held on 31st March 1982 by the person making the disposal.

(2)

Subject to the following provisions of this section, in computing for the purpose of capital gains tax the gain or loss accruing on the disposal it shall be assumed that the asset was on 31st March 1982 sold by the person making the disposal, and immediately re-acquired by him, at its market value on that date.

(3)

Subject to subsection (5) below, subsection (2) above shall not apply to a disposal—

(a)

where a gain would accrue on the disposal to the person making the disposal if that subsection did apply, and either a smaller gain or a loss would so accrue if it did not,

(b)

where a loss would so accrue if that subsection did apply, and either a smaller loss or a gain would accrue if it did not,

(c)

where, either on the facts of the case or by virtue of Schedule 5 to the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979, neither a gain nor a loss would accrue if that subsection did not apply, or

(d)

where neither a gain nor a loss would accrue by virtue of any of the specified enactments.

(4)

Where in the case of a disposal of an asset—

(a)

the effect of subsection (2) above would be to substitute a loss for a gain or a gain for a loss, but

(b)

the application of subsection (2) is excluded by subsection (3),

it shall be assumed in relation to the disposal that the asset was acquired by the person making the disposal for a consideration such that, on the disposal, neither a gain nor a loss accrues to him.

(5)

If a person so elects, disposals made by him (including any made by him before the election) shall fall outside subsection (3) above (so that subsection (2) above is not excluded by that subsection).

(6)

An election by a person under subsection (5) above shall be irrevocable and shall be made by notice in writing to the inspector at any time before 6th April 1990 or at any time during the period beginning with the day of the first relevant disposal and ending—

(a)

two years after the end of the year of assessment or accounting period in which the disposal is made, or

(b)

at such later time as the Board may allow;

and “the first relevant disposal” means the first disposal to which this section applies which is made by the person making the election.

(7)

An election made by a person under subsection (5) above in one capacity does not cover disposals made by him in another capacity.

(8)

All such adjustments shall be made, whether by way of discharge or repayment of tax, the making of assessments or otherwise, as are required to give effect to an election under subsection (5) above.

(9)

Schedule 8 to this Act (which contains provisions supplementary to this section) shall have effect; and in subsection (3)(d) above “specified enactments” means the enactments specified in paragraph 1(3) of that Schedule.

97Deferred charges on gains before 31st March 1982

Schedule 9 to this Act (which provides for the reduction of a deferred charge to tax where the charge is wholly or partly attributable to an increase in the value of an asset before 31st March 1982) shall have effect.

Unification of rates of tax on income and capital gains
98Rates of capital gains tax(1)

Subject to the provisions of this section and sections 99 and 100 below, the rate of capital gains tax in respect of gains accruing to a person in a year of assessment shall be equivalent to the basic rate of income tax for the year.

(2)

If income tax is chargeable at the higher rate in respect of any part of the income of an individual for a year of assessment, the rate of capital gains tax in respect of gains accruing to him in the year shall be equivalent to the higher rate.

(3)

If no income tax is chargeable at the higher rate in respect of the income of an individual for a year of assessment, but the amount on which he is chargeable to capital gains tax exceeds the unused part of his basic rate band, the rate of capital gains tax on the excess shall be equivalent to the higher rate of income tax for the year.

(4)

The reference in subsection (3) above to the unused part of an individual’s basic rate band is a reference to the amount by which the basic rate limit exceeds his total income (as reduced by any deductions made in accordance with the Income Tax Acts).

99Husband and wife(1)

Where —

(a)

gains accrue to a woman in a year of assessment during which she is a married woman living with her husband, and

(b)

if her chargeable amount were added to, and constituted the highest part of, her husband’s chargeable amount for the year, capital gains tax would be chargeable on it or any part of it at a rate equivalent to the higher rate of income tax for the year,

the rate of capital gains tax on her chargeable amount or that part of it shall be equivalent to the higher rate.

(2)

For the purposes of this section a person’s chargeable amount for a year of assessment is the amount on which he is (or would apart from section 45 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 be) chargeable to capital gains tax for the year.

(3)

In relation to a year of assessment for which an application under section 45(2) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (separate assessment) has effect, the amounts of tax payable by the husband and by the wife shall be determined by—

(a)

aggregating the amounts that would be payable by each of them apart from this subsection, and

(b)

dividing that aggregate between them in proportion to their chargeable amounts for the year.

(4)

This section shall apply in relation to a part of a year of assessment, being a part beginning with 6th April, as it applies in relation to a whole year (except that references to a husband’s chargeable amount are references to his chargeable amount for the whole year).

(5)

This section shall have effect for the years 1988-89 and 1989-90 only.

100Accumulation and discretionary settlements(1)

The rate of capital gains tax in respect of gains accruing to trustees of an accumulation or discretionary settlement in a year of assessment shall be equivalent to the sum of the basic and additional rates of income tax for the year.

(2)

For the purposes of subsection (1) above a trust is an accumulation or discretionary settlement where—

(a)

all or any part of the income arising to the trustees in the year of assessment is income to which section 686 of the Taxes Act 1988 (liability to income tax at the additional rate) applies, or

(b)

all the income arising to the trustees in the year of assessment is treated as the income of the settlor, but that section would apply to it if it were not so treated, or

(c)

all the income arising to the trustees in the year of assessment is applied in defraying expenses of the trustees in that year, but that section would apply to it if it were not so applied, or

(d)

no income arises to the trustees in the year of assessment, but that section would apply if there were income arising to the trustees and none of it were treated as the income of the settlor or applied as mentioned in paragraph (c) above.

101Underwriters

In subsection (2) of section 142 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 (which provides for capital gains tax to be assessed and charged on the trustees of premiums trust funds of underwriters) for the words “subsection (3)” there shall be substituted the words “subsections (2A) and (3)”; and after subsection (2) there shall be inserted—(2A)

Tax assessed by virtue of subsection (2) above for a year of assessment shall be assessed at a rate equivalent to the basic rate of income tax for the year; and if an assessment to tax at a higher rate is subsequently made on an underwriting member in respect of the same gains, an appropriate credit shall be given for the tax assessed on the trustees.

102Other special cases(1)

References in section 98 above to income tax chargeable at the higher rate include references to tax chargeable by virtue of section 683(1) or 684(1) of the Taxes Act 1988 (settlements) in respect of excess liability (that is, liability to income tax over what it would be if all income tax were charged at the basic rate to the exclusion of any higher rate); and where for any year of assessment income is treated by virtue of either of those provisions as the income of a person for the purposes of excess liability then, whether or not he is chargeable to tax otherwise than at the basic rate, it shall also be treated as his income for the purposes of section 98(4) above.

(2)

Where for any year of assessment—

(a)

by virtue of section 427(4) of the Taxes Act 1988 (apportionment of close company income) an amount is deemed not to form part of a person’s income for the purposes of excess liability,

(b)

by virtue of section 549(2) of that Act (gains under life policy or life annuity contract) a deduction of an amount is made from a person’s total income for those purposes,

(c)

by virtue of section 683(1) or 684(1) of that Act an amount of a person’s income is treated as not being his income for those purposes, or

(d)

by virtue of section 699(1) of that Act (income accruing before death) the residuary income of an estate is treated as reduced so as to reduce a person’s income by any amount for the purposes of excess liability,

section 98(4) above shall have effect as if his income for the year were reduced by that amount.

(3)

Where by virtue of section 547(1)(a) of that Act (gains from insurance policies etc.) a person’s total income for a year of assessment is deemed to include any amount or amounts—

(a)

section 98(4) above shall have effect as if his total income included not the whole of the amount or amounts concerned but only the appropriate fraction within the meaning of section 550(3), and

(b)

if relief is given under section 550 of that Act and the calculation required by section 550(2)(b) does not involve the higher rate of income tax, section 98(2) and (3) above shall have effect as if no income tax were chargeable at the higher rate in respect of his income.

(4)

Nothing in subsection (1) above shall be taken to reduce, and nothing in subsections (2) and (3) above shall be taken to increase, the amount of the deduction which a person is entitled to make from his total income by virtue of any provision of Chapter 1 of Part VII of the Taxes Act 1988 which limits any allowance by reference to the level of his total income.

103Commencement of sections 98 to 102

(b)

by virtue of that section the amount of the gains falls to be assessed to capital gains tax as if it were an amount of gains accruing in the year 1990-91 or a subsequent year of assessment,

so much of the gains qualifying for relief as do not exceed the appropriate percentage of £125,000; and

(b)

one half of so much of those gains as exceed the appropriate percentage of £125,000 but do not exceed that percentage of £500,000;

and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph “the appropriate percentage” is a percentage

(2)

After that sub-paragraph there shall be inserted—(1A)

In sub-paragraph (1) above “the gains qualifying for relief” means, in relation to any qualifying disposal, so much of the gains accruing on that disposal (aggregated under paragraph 6, 7(1)(a) or 8(1)(a) above) as would, by virtue of this Schedule, not be chargeable gains if—

(a)

sub-paragraph (1) above had specified as the amount available for relief a fixed sum in excess of those aggregate gains; and

(b)

paragraphs 14 to 16 below were disregarded.

(3)

In paragraph 15 of that Schedule (limit on relief available on later disposal where relief given on earlier disposal) in sub-paragraph (2) (definition of later and earlier disposals) for the words “In sub-paragraph (3) below” there shall be substituted the words “In the following provisions of this paragraph”.

(4)

In sub-paragraph (3)(a) of that paragraph, for the words “if the qualifying period appropriate to that disposal” there shall be substituted—(i)

if the gains qualifying for relief on that disposal were increased by the amount of the underlying gains relieved on the earlier disposal (or the aggregate amount of the underlying gains relieved on all the earlier disposals, as the case may be); and

(ii)

if the qualifying period appropriate to the later disposal

.

(5)

After sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph there shall be inserted—(3A)

Where there is only one earlier disposal, or where there are two or more such disposals but none of them took place on or after 6th April 1988, then, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(a)(i) above—

(a)

if the earlier disposal took place on or after 6th April 1988, the amount of the underlying gains relieved on that disposal is the aggregate of—

(i)

so much of the gains qualifying for relief on that disposal as were, by virtue of paragraph 13(1)(a) above, not chargeable gains; and

(ii)

twice the amount of so much of those gains as were, by virtue of paragraph 13(1)(b) above, not chargeable gains; and

(b)

if the earlier disposal took place before 6th April 1988, the amount of the underlying gains relieved on that disposal (or on each such disposal) is so much of the gains qualifying for relief on that disposal as were, by virtue of paragraph 13 above, not chargeable gains.

(3B)

Where there are two or more earlier disposals and at least one of them took place on or after 6th April 1988, then, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(a)(i) above, the aggregate amount of the underlying gains relieved on all those disposals shall be determined as follows—

(a)

it shall be assumed for the purposes of paragraph (b) below—

(i)

that the amount which resulted from the calculation under sub-paragraph (3)(a) above on the last of those disposals (“the last disposal”) was the amount of the gains qualifying for relief on that disposal which were, by virtue of this Schedule, not chargeable gains (the “gains actually relieved”);

(ii)

that the qualifying period appropriate to that disposal (as redetermined where appropriate under paragraph 14 above) was that period as extended in accordance with sub-paragraph (3)(a)(ii) above; and

(iii)

that the last disposal was the only earlier disposal;

(b)

there shall then be ascertained in accordance with paragraph 13(1) above (but on the assumptions in paragraph (a) above)—

(i)

how much of the gains actually relieved would, by virtue of paragraph 13(1)(a) above, not have been chargeable gains; and

(ii)

how much of those gains would, by virtue of paragraph 13(1)(b) above, not have been chargeable gains; and

(c)

the aggregate amount of the underlying gains relieved on all the earlier disposals is the sum of—

(i)

the amount ascertained under paragraph (b)(i) above; and

(ii)

twice the amount ascertained under paragraph (b)(ii) above.

(3C)

In this paragraph “the gains qualifying for relief” has the meaning given by paragraph 13(1A) above.

for the purpose of determining the limit in sub-paragraph (3) above where the earlier disposal (or any of the earlier disposals) was a disposal in respect of which relief was given under either of those sections—

(i)

the underlying gains relieved on that disposal shall (subject to sub-paragraph (3B) above) be taken to be gains of an amount equal to the relief given under the section in question in respect of that disposal; and

(ii)

the reference in sub-paragraph (3)(a)(ii) above to the qualifying period appropriate to the earlier disposal shall be construed in accordance with paragraph (c) below;

(c)

for the purpose mentioned in paragraph (b) above, that reference shall, as respects the earlier disposal in question, be taken to be

.

(7)
