(a)

the numerator is the aggregate of—

(8)

In subsection (6) above “appropriate part”, in relation to the investment reserve, means—

(a)

where all of the liabilities of the long term business are linked liabilities, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the liabilities of the category of business in question bears to the whole amount of the liabilities of the long term business,

(b)

where any of the liabilities of the long term business are not linked liabilities but none (or none but an insignificant proportion) are with-profits liabilities, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the liabilities of the category of business in question which are not linked liabilities bears to the whole amount of the liabilities of the long term business which are not linked liabilities, and

(c)

in any other case, the part of that reserve which bears to the whole the same proportion as the amount of the with-profits liabilities of the category of business in question bears to the whole amount of the with-profits liabilities of the long term business;

432B Apportionment of receipts brought into account.

(1)

This section and sections 432C to 432E have effect where it is necessary in accordance with section 83 of the Finance Act 1989 to determine what parts of any items brought into account in the revenue account prepared for the purposes of the Insurance Companies Act 1982 are referable to life assurance business or any class of life assurance business.

(2)

Where in addition to the revenue account prepared for the purposes of the Insurance Companies Act 1982 in respect of the whole of any business carried on by a company there are prepared for the purposes of that Act revenue accounts relating to parts of the business, amounts referred to in sections 432C to 432E shall, so far as they relate to those parts, be ascertained by reference to the latter accounts rather than by reference to the former.

(3)

Sections 432C and 432D apply where the business with which an account is concerned (“the relevant business”) relates exclusively to policies or contracts under which the policy holders or annuitants are not eligible to participate in surplus; and section 432E applies where the relevant business relates wholly or partly to other policies or contracts.

the denominator is the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the relevant business, reduced by the mean of the opening and closing values of any assets of the relevant business directly referable to any of the appropriate categories of business.

(5)

For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4) above—

where the category of business in question is life assurance business, are references to that category of business and long term business other than life assurance business; and

(ii)

where the category of business in question is pension business, general annuity business or basic life assurance business, are references to pension business and basic life assurance business; and

(b)

the part of the amount brought into account as income which is directly referable to a category of business is the part referable to the category by virtue of subsection (1) above and assets are directly referable to a category of business if such part of the amount brought into account as income as is attributable to them is so referable.

(6)

in subsection (5)—

(i)

a reference to overseas life assurance business were included after each of the references to pension business in paragraph (a)(ii), and

(1)

The part of the net amount of the items referred to in subsection (1) of section 83 of the Finance Act 1989 (that is to say the income referred to in paragraph (a) of that subsection increased or reduced by the increase or reduction in the value referred to in paragraph (b)) which is referable to a particular category of business shall be—

(a)

the amount determined in accordance with subsection (2) below, or

(b)

the amount determined in accordance with subsection (3) below,

whichever is the greater.

(a)

in a case where the relevant business is mutual business, that

$\mathrm{CAS}=\mathrm{CS,}\mathrm{and}$

(3)

For the purposes of subsection (1) above there shall also be determined the aggregate of—

(a)

the applicable percentage of what is left of the mean of the opening and closing liabilities of the relevant business so far as referable to the category of business concerned after deducting from it the mean of the opening and closing values of any assets of the relevant business linked solely to that category of business, and

(b)

the part of the net amount mentioned in subsection (1) above that is attributable to assets linked solely to that category of business.

(4)

For the purposes of subsection (3) above “the applicable percentage”, in any case, is such percentage as may be determined for that case by or in accordance with an order made by the Treasury.

(5)

Where the part of the net amount referable to a particular category or categories of business (“the subsection (3) category or categories”) is the amount determined in accordance with subsection (3) above, the amount determined in accordance with subsection (2) above in relation to any other category (“the relevant category”) shall be reduced by—

$\frac{\mathrm{XY}}{Z}$

where—

(6)

Where the category of business concerned is overseas life assurance business—

(a)

if the part of the income brought into account that is attributable to assets of the overseas life assurance fund not linked solely to overseas life assurance business is greater than the amount arrived at under subsection (3)(a) above, this section shall have effect as if that part of that income were the amount so arrived at; and

(b)

the amount which, apart from this paragraph, would be the part of the net amount referable to that category of business shall be—

(i)

reduced by the part of the net amount attributable to distributions of companies resident in the United Kingdom relating to assets of the company’s overseas life assurance fund, and

(ii)

increased by the amount which is income of the relevant business by virtue of section 441A.”

“440 Transfers of assets etc.

(2)

Where—

(a)

an asset is acquired by a company as part of the transfer to it of the whole or part of the business of an insurance company (“the transferor”) in accordance with a scheme sanctioned by a court under section 49 of the Insurance Companies Act 1982, and

(3)

Where, apart from this subsection, section 273 or 274 of the 1970 Act (transfers within a group) would apply to a disposal or acquisition by an insurance company of an asset (or part of an asset) which, immediately before the disposal or (as the case may be) immediately after the acquisition, is within one of the categories set out in paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (4) below, that section shall not apply to the disposal or acquisition.

Where this subsection applies—

(a)

so many of the securities as are identified in the company’s records as securities by reference to the value of which there are to be determined benefits provided for under policies the effecting of all (or all but an insignificant proportion) of which constitutes the carrying on of basic life assurance business shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax as a separate holding linked solely to that business,

(b)

so many of the securities as are identified in the company’s records as securities by reference to the value of which there are to be determined benefits provided for under contracts the effecting of all (or all but an insignificant proportion) of which constitutes the carrying on of pension business shall be treated for those purposes as a separate holding linked solely to that business,

(c)

so many of the securities as are included in the overseas life assurance fund shall be treated for those purposes as a separate holding which is an asset of that fund,

(d)

so many of the securities as are included in the company’s long term business fund but do not fall within any of the preceding paragraphs shall be treated for those purposes as a separate holding which is an asset of that fund (but not of any of the descriptions mentioned in those paragraphs), and

any remaining securities shall be treated for those purposes as a separate holding which is not of any of the descriptions mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.

(3)

Subsection (2) above also applies where the assets of an insurance company include securities of a class and apart from this section some of them would be regarded as a 1982 holding, and the rest as a new holding, for the purposes of corporation tax on chargeable gains.

In a case within subsection (3) above—

(a)

the reference in any paragraph of subsection (2) above to a separate holding shall be construed, where necessary, as a reference to a separate 1982 holding and a separate new holding, and

(5)

Section 66 of the 1979 Act shall have effect where subsection (2) above applies as if securities regarded as included in different holdings by virtue of that subsection were securities of different kinds.

“new holding” has the meaning given by Part III of that Schedule; and

“securities” has the same meaning as in section 65 of the 1979 Act.”
