Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992

Chapter I U.K. General

Share pooling, identification of securities, and indexation U.K.

104 Share pooling: general interpretative provisions. U.K.

(1) Any number of securities of the same class acquired by the same person in the same capacity shall for the purposes of this Act [F1 (subject to express provision to the contrary)] be regarded as indistinguishable parts of a single asset growing or diminishing on the occasions on which additional securities of the same class are acquired or some of the securities of that class are disposed of.

[F2 (2) For the purposes of corporation tax, subsection (1) does not apply to any securities acquired by a company before 1 April 1982.

(2A) See also sections 105 to 105B and—

(a) section 106A in the case of capital gains tax, or

(b) sections 107 to 114 in the case of corporation tax.]

(3) For the purposes of this section and sections 105, 107, 110 F3 ... and 114—

• [F4 “a section 104 holding” is] a holding of securities which, by virtue of subsection (1) above, is to be regarded as a single asset;

• “securities” does not include relevant securities as defined in section 108 but, subject to that, means—

  (i)

  shares or securities of a company; and

  (ii)

  any other assets where they are of a nature to be dealt in without identifying the particular assets disposed of or acquired; and

• “relevant allowable expenditure” has the meaning assigned to it by section 53(2)(b) and (3);

but shares or securities of a company shall not be treated as being of the same class unless they are so treated by the practice of a recognised stock exchange or would be so treated if dealt with on a recognised stock exchange.

[F5 (3A) For the purposes of capital gains tax section 35(2) applies in relation to a section 104 holding as if the reference to an asset were to any of the securities constituting or forming part of the section 104 holding which were held by the person making the disposal on 31 March 1982.]

[F6 (4) For the purposes of this Chapter securities of a company which are held—

(a) by a person who acquired them as an employee of the company or of any other person, and

(b) on terms which for the time being restrict his right to dispose of them,

shall (notwithstanding that they would otherwise fall to be treated as of the same class) be treated as of a different class from any securities acquired by him otherwise than as an employee of the company or of any other person and also from any shares that are not held subject to restrictions, or the same restrictions, on disposal or in the case of which the restrictions are no longer in force.]

[F7 (4A) For the purposes of this Chapter, securities of a company which are held by the trustees of a settlement, having been last acquired or deemed to be acquired by them in circumstances where section 236H or 236Q applied, shall (notwithstanding that they would otherwise fall to be treated as of the same class) be treated as of a different class from any other securities of the company acquired by those trustees.]

(5) Nothing in this section or sections 110 F8 ... and 114 shall be taken as affecting the manner in which the market value of any securities is to be ascertained.

(6) Without prejudice to the generality of subsections (1) and (2) above, a disposal of securities in a [F9 section 104 holding], other than a disposal of the whole of it, is a disposal of part of an asset and the provisions of this Act relating to the computation of a gain accruing on a disposal of part of an asset shall apply accordingly.

107 Identification of securities etc: general rules [F46 for corporation tax]. U.K.

[F47 (1) This section has effect for the purposes of corporation tax where any securities are disposed of by a company.

(1A) The securities disposed of shall be identified in accordance with the following provisions of this section with securities of the same class that have been acquired by the company making the disposal and could be comprised in that disposal.

(2) The provisions of this section have effect in the case of any disposal notwithstanding that some or all of the securities disposed of are otherwise identified—

(a) by the disposal, or

(b) by a transfer or delivery giving effect to it;

but where a company disposes of securities in one capacity, they shall not be identified with securities which it holds, or can dispose of, only in some other capacity.]

(3) Without prejudice to section 105 if, within a period of 10 days, a number of securities are acquired and subsequently a number of securities are disposed of and, apart from this subsection—

(a) the securities acquired would increase the size of, or constitute a [F48 section 104 holding], and

(b) the securities disposed of would decrease the size of, or extinguish, the same [F48 section 104 holding],

then, subject to subsections (4) and (5) below, the securities disposed of shall be identified with the securities acquired and none of them shall be regarded as forming part of an existing [F48 section 104 holding] or constituting a [F48 section 104 holding].

(4) If, in a case falling within subsection (3) above, the number of securities acquired exceeds the number disposed of—

(a) the excess shall be regarded as forming part of an existing [F48 section 104 holding] or, as the case may be, as constituting a [F48 section 104 holding]; and

(b) if the securities acquired were acquired at different times (within the 10 days referred to in subsection (3) above) the securities disposed of shall be identified with securities acquired at an earlier time rather than with securities acquired at a later time.

(5) If, in a case falling within subsection (3) above, the number of securities disposed of exceeds the number acquired, the excess shall not be identified in accordance with that subsection.

(6) Securities which, by virtue of subsection (3) above, do not form part of or constitute a [F48 section 104 holding] shall be treated for the purposes of section 54(2) as relevant securities within the meaning of section 108.

(7) The identification rules set out in subsections (8) and (9) below have effect subject to section 105 but, subject to that, have priority according to the order in which they are so set out.

(8) Securities disposed of shall be identified with securities forming part of a [F48 section 104 holding] rather than with other securities.

(9) Securities disposed of shall be identified with securities forming part of a 1982 holding, within the meaning of section 109, rather than with other securities and, subject to that, shall be identified with securities acquired at a later time rather than with securities acquired at an earlier time.

108 Identification of relevant securities [F49 for corporation tax]. U.K.

[F50 (A1) This section has effect for the purposes of corporation tax where any relevant securities are disposed of by a company.]

(1) In this section “relevant securities” means—

(a) securities, within the meaning of [F51 Chapter 2 of Part 12 of ITA 2007 (accrued income profits)];

[F52 (aa) qualifying corporate bonds;]

F53 (b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; and

(c) securities which are F54 ... [F55 interests in a non-reporting fund, within the meaning of regulations [F56 under section 354(1) of TIOPA 2010] (see Part 2 of the Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/3001))];

and shares or securities of a company shall not be treated for the purposes of this section as being of the same class unless they are so treated by the practice of a recognised stock exchange or would be so treated if dealt with on a recognised stock exchange.

(2) Where a [F57 company] disposes of relevant securities, the securities disposed of shall be identified in accordance with the rules contained in this section with the securities of the same class acquired by [F58 the company] which could be comprised in that disposal, and shall be so identified notwithstanding that they are otherwise identified by the disposal or by a transfer or delivery giving effect to it (but so that where a [F57 company] disposes of securities in one capacity, they shall not be identified with securities which [F58 it] holds or can dispose of only in some other capacity).

(3) Relevant securities disposed of on an earlier date shall be identified before securities disposed of on a later date, and the identification of the securities first disposed of shall accordingly determine the securities which could be comprised in the later disposal.

(4) Relevant securities disposed of for transfer or delivery on a particular date or in a particular period—

(a) shall not be identified with securities acquired for transfer or delivery on a later date or in a later period; and

(b) shall be identified with securities acquired for transfer or delivery on or before that date or in or before that period, but on or after the date of the disposal, rather than with securities not so acquired.

(5) The relevant securities disposed of shall be identified—

(a) with securities acquired within the 12 months preceding the disposal rather than with securities not so acquired, and with securities so acquired on an earlier date rather than with securities so acquired on a later date, and

(b) subject to paragraph (a) above, with securities acquired on a later date rather than with securities acquired on an earlier date; and

(c) with securities acquired at different times on any one day in as nearly as may be equal proportions.

(6) The rules contained in the preceding subsections shall have priority according to the order in which they are so contained.

(7) Notwithstanding anything in subsections (3) to (5) above, where, under arrangements designed to postpone the transfer or delivery of relevant securities disposed of, a [F59 company] by a single bargain acquires securities for transfer or delivery on a particular date or in a particular period and disposes of them for transfer or delivery on a later date or in a later period, then—

(a) the securities disposed of by that bargain shall be identified with the securities thereby acquired; and

(b) securities previously disposed of which, but for the operation of paragraph (a) above in relation to acquisitions for transfer or delivery on the earlier date or in the earlier period, would have been identified with the securities acquired by that bargain—

(i) shall, subject to subsection (3) above, be identified with any available securities acquired for such transfer or delivery (that is to say, any securities so acquired other than securities to which paragraph (a) above applies and other than securities with which securities disposed of for such transfer or delivery would be identified apart from this subsection); and

(ii) in so far as they cannot be so identified shall be treated as disposed of for transfer or delivery on the later date, or in the later period, mentioned above.

(8) This section F60 ... shall not apply—

(a) where the disposal is of quoted securities (within the meaning of paragraph 8 of Schedule 2), unless an election has been made with respect to the securities under paragraph 4 of that Schedule or under section 109(4), or

(b) where the disposal is of securities as respects which paragraph 17 or 18 of Schedule 2 has effect.

109 [F61 Corporation tax: pre-April] 1982 share pools. U.K.

(1) [F62 For the purposes of corporation tax, this] section has effect in relation to any 1982 holding, and in this section “1982 holding” means a holding which, immediately before the coming into force of this section, was a 1982 holding for the purposes of Part II of Schedule 19 to the M1 Finance Act 1985.

(2) Subject to subsections (3) to (5) below—

(a) the holding shall continue to be regarded as a single asset for the purposes of this Act [F63 (subject to express provision to the contrary)], but one which cannot grow by the acquisition of additional securities of the same class, and

(b) every sum, which on a disposal of the holding, would be an item of relevant allowable expenditure shall be regarded for the purposes of section 54 as having been incurred at such a time that the month which determines RI in the formula in subsection (1) of that section is March 1982.

Securities of a company shall not be treated for the purposes of this section as being of the same class unless they are so treated by the practice of a recognised stock exchange or would be so treated if dealt with on a recognised stock exchange.

(3) Nothing in subsection (2) above affects the operation of section 127 in relation to the holding, but without prejudice to section 131.

(4) If a person so elects, quoted securities, as defined in paragraph 8 of Schedule 2 which are covered by the election—

(a) shall be treated as an accretion to an existing 1982 holding or, as the case may be, as constituting a new 1982 holding; and

(b) shall be excluded from paragraph 2 of that Schedule;

and the relevant allowable expenditure which is attributable to that 1982 holding shall be adjusted or determined accordingly.

(5) Paragraphs 4(8) to (13) and 5 to 8 of Schedule 2 shall apply in relation to an election under subsection (4) above as they apply in relation to an election under paragraph 4(2) of that Schedule, but with the substitution for any reference to 19th March 1968 of a reference to 31st March 1985 in the case of holdings or disposals by companies and 5th April 1985 in any other case.

(6) For the purpose of computing the indexation allowance (if any) on a disposal of a 1982 holding, the relevant allowable expenditure attributable to the holding on the coming into force of this section shall be the amount which, if the holding had been disposed of immediately before the coming into force of this section, would have been the relevant allowable expenditure in relation to that holding on that disposal, and for the purposes of section 54(4) relevant allowable expenditure attributable to a 1982 holding shall be deemed to be expenditure falling within section 38(1)(a).

110 [F64 Indexation for section 104 holdings for corporation tax]. U.K.

(1) [F65 For the purposes of corporation tax this] section and section 114—

(a) apply in place of section 54 in relation to a disposal of a [F66 section 104 holding] for the purpose of computing the indexation allowance;

(b) have effect subject to [F67 section 105].

(2) On any disposal of a [F66 section 104 holding], other than a disposal of the whole of it—

(a) the qualifying expenditure and the indexed pool of expenditure shall each be apportioned between the part disposed of and the remainder in the same proportions as, under this Act, the relevant allowable expenditure is apportioned; and

(b) the indexation allowance is the amount by which the portion of the indexed pool which is attributed to the part disposed of exceeds the portion of the qualifying expenditure which is attributed to that part.

(3) On a disposal of the whole of a [F66 section 104 holding], the indexation allowance is the amount by which the indexed pool of expenditure at the time of the disposal exceeds the qualifying expenditure at that time.

(4) In relation to a [F66 section 104 holding], the qualifying expenditure is at any time the amount which would be the aggregate of the relevant allowable expenditure in relation to a disposal of the whole of the holding occurring at that time.

(5) Subject to subsection (6) below and section 114 the indexed pool of expenditure shall come into being at the time that the holding comes into being or, if it is earlier, when any of the qualifying expenditure is incurred and shall at the time it comes into being be the same as the qualifying expenditure at that time.

(6) In relation to a [F66 section 104 holding] which was in existence immediately before the coming into force of this section, the indexed pool of expenditure on the coming into force of this section shall be the same as it was for the purposes of Part III of Schedule 19 to the M2 Finance Act 1985 immediately before then.

[F68 (6A) Where a disposal to a person acquiring or adding to a [F66 section 104 holding] is treated by virtue of any enactment as one on which neither a gain nor a loss accrues to the person making the disposal—

(a) section 56(2) shall not apply to the disposal (and, accordingly, the amount of the consideration shall not be calculated on the assumption that a gain of an amount equal to the indexation allowance accrues to the person making the disposal), but

(b) an amount equal to the indexation allowance on the disposal shall be added to the indexed pool of expenditure for the holding acquired or, as the case may be, held by the person to whom the disposal is made (and, where it is added to the indexed pool of expenditure for a holding so held, it shall be added after any increase required by subsection (8)(a) below).]

(7) Any reference below to an operative event is a reference to any event (whether a disposal or otherwise) which has the effect of reducing or increasing the qualifying expenditure referable to the [F66 section 104 holding].

(8) Whenever an operative event occurs—

(a) there shall be added to the indexed pool of expenditure the indexed rise, as calculated under subsection (10) or (11) below, in the value of the pool since the last operative event or, if there has been no previous operative event, since the pool came into being; and

(b) if the operative event results in an increase in the qualifying expenditure then, in addition to any increase under paragraph (a) above, the same increase shall be made to the indexed pool of expenditure; and

(c) if the operative event is a disposal resulting in a reduction in the qualifying expenditure, the indexed pool of expenditure shall be reduced in the same proportion as the qualifying expenditure is reduced; and

(d) if the operative event results in a reduction in the qualifying expenditure but is not a disposal, the same reduction shall be made to the indexed pool of expenditure.

(9) Where the operative event is a disposal—

(a) any addition under subsection (8)(a) above shall be made before the calculation of the indexation allowance under subsection (2) above; and

(b) the reduction under subsection (8)(c) above shall be made after that calculation.

(10) At the time of any operative event, the indexed rise in the indexed pool of expenditure is a sum produced by multiplying the value of the pool immediately before the event by a figure expressed as a decimal and determined, subject to subsection (11) below, by the formula—

where—

• RE is the retail prices index for [F69 December 2017]; and

• RL is the retail prices index for the month in which occurred the immediately preceding operative event or, if there has been no such event, in which the indexed pool of expenditure came into being.

[F70 (11) The indexed rise is nil if—

(a) RE, as defined in subsection (10), is equal to or less than RL, as so defined, or

(b) the month referred to in the definition of RL in subsection (10) is after December 2017.]

Gilt-edged securities and qualifying corporate bonds U.K.

115 Exemptions for gilt-edged securities and qualifying corporate bonds etc. U.K.

(1) A gain which accrues on the disposal by any person of—

(a) gilt-edged securities or qualifying corporate bonds, or

(b) any option or contract to acquire or dispose of gilt-edged securities or qualifying corporate bonds,

shall not be a chargeable gain.

(2) In subsection (1) above the reference to the disposal of a contract to acquire or dispose of gilt-edged securities or qualifying corporate bonds is a reference to the disposal of the outstanding obligations under such a contract.

(3) Without prejudice to section 143(5), where a person who has entered into any such contract as is referred to in subsection (1)(b) above closes out that contract by entering into another contract with obligations which are reciprocal to those of the first-mentioned contract, that transaction shall for the purposes of this section constitute the disposal of an asset, namely, his outstanding obligations under the first-mentioned contract.

116 Reorganisations, conversions and reconstructions. U.K.

(1) This section shall have effect in any case where a transaction occurs of such a description that, apart from the provisions of this section—

(a) sections 127 to 130 would apply by virtue of any provision of Chapter II of this Part; and

(b) either the original shares would consist of or include a qualifying corporate bond and the new holding would not, or the original shares would not and the new holding would consist of or include such a bond;

and in paragraph (b) above “the original shares” and “the new holding” have the same meaning as they have for the purposes of sections 127 to 130.

(2) In this section [F80 references to a transaction include references to any conversion of securities (whether or not effected by a transaction) within the meaning of section 132 and] “relevant transaction” means a reorganisation, conversion of securities or other transaction such as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, and, in addition to its application where the transaction takes place after the coming into force of this section, subsection (10) below applies where the relevant transaction took place before the coming into force of this section so far as may be necessary to enable any gain or loss deferred under paragraph 10 of Schedule 13 to the M7 Finance Act 1984 to be taken into account on a subsequent disposal.

(3) Where the qualifying corporate bond referred to in subsection (1)(b) above would constitute the original shares for the purposes of sections 127 to 130, it is in this section referred to as “the old asset” and the shares or securities which would constitute the new holding for those purposes are referred to as “the new asset”.

(4) Where the qualifying corporate bond referred to in subsection (1)(b) above would constitute the new holding for the purposes of sections 127 to 130, it is in this section referred to as “the new asset” and the shares or securities which would constitute the original shares for those purposes are referred to as “the old asset”.

[F81 (4A) In determining for the purposes of subsections (1) to (4) above, as they apply for the purposes of corporation tax—

(a) whether sections 127 to 130 would apply in any case, and

(b) what, in a case where they would apply, would constitute the original shares and the new holding,

it shall be assumed that every asset representing a loan relationship of a company is a security within the meaning of section 132.]

(5) So far as the relevant transaction relates to the old asset and the new asset, sections 127 to 130 shall not apply in relation to it.

(6) In accordance with subsection (5) above, the new asset shall not be treated as having been acquired on any date other than the date of the relevant transaction or, subject to subsections (7) and (8) below, for any consideration other than the market value of the old asset as determined immediately before that transaction.

(7) If, on the relevant transaction, the person concerned receives, or becomes entitled to receive, any sum of money which, in addition to the new asset, is by way of consideration for the old asset, that sum shall be deducted from the consideration referred to in subsection (6) above.

(8) If, on the relevant transaction, the person concerned gives any sum of money which, in addition to the old asset, is by way of consideration for the new asset, that sum shall be added to the consideration referred to in subsection (6) above.

F82 [F83 (8A) Where subsection (6) above applies for the purposes of corporation tax in a case where the old asset consists of a qualifying corporate bond, [F84 Part 5 of CTA 2009] (loan relationships) shall have effect[F85 , subject to subsection (8B) below,] so as to require such debits and credits to be brought into account for the purposes of [F84 that Part] in relation to the relevant transaction as would have been brought into account if the transaction had been a disposal of the old asset at the market value mentioned in [F86 subsection (6) above].

[F87 This subsection does not apply in relation to a [F88 relevant loan relationship transaction].]]

[F89 (8AA) In subsection (8A) “relevant loan relationship transaction” means a transaction to which any of the following provisions applies—

• section 342 of CTA 2009 (continuity of treatment on transfers within groups or reorganisations: issues of new securities on reorganisations: disposal at notional carrying value),

• section 343 of that Act (continuity of treatment on transfers within groups or reorganisations: receiving company using fair value accounting),

• section 424 of that Act (European cross-border transfers of business: reorganisations involving loan relationships),

• section 425 of that Act (European cross-border transfers of business: original holder using fair value accounting),

• section 435 of that Act (European cross-border mergers: reorganisations involving loan relationships),

• section 436 of that Act (European cross-border mergers: original holder using fair value accounting).]

F82 [F90 (8B) Subsection (8A) above does not apply where the relevant transaction is a conversion of securities occurring in consequence of the operation of the terms of any security or of any debenture which is not a security.

Expressions used in this subsection have the same meaning as they have for the purposes of section 132.]

(9) In any case where the old asset consists of a qualifying corporate bond, then, so far as it relates to the old asset and the new asset, the relevant transaction shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as a disposal of the old asset and an acquisition of the new asset.

(10) Except in a case falling within subsection (9) above, so far as it relates to the old asset and the new asset, the relevant transaction shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as not involving any disposal of the old asset but—

(a) there shall be calculated the chargeable gain or allowable loss that would have accrued if, at the time of the relevant transaction, the old asset had been disposed of for a consideration equal to its market value immediately before that transaction; and

(b) subject to subsections (12) to (14) below, the whole or a corresponding part of the chargeable gain or allowable loss mentioned in paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to accrue on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the new asset (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that disposal); and

(c) on that subsequent disposal, section 115 shall have effect only in relation to any gain or loss that actually accrues and not in relation to any gain or loss which is deemed to accrue by virtue of paragraph (b) above.

(11) Subsection (10)(b) and (c) above shall not apply to any disposal falling within section 58(1), 62(4), 139, [F91 140A,] [F92 140E,] [F93 or 171(1)], but a person who has acquired the new asset on a disposal falling within any of those sections (and without there having been a previous disposal not falling within any of those sections or a devolution on death) shall be treated for the purposes of subsection (10)(b) and (c) above as if the new asset had been acquired by him at the same time and for the same consideration as, having regard to subsections (5) to (8) above, it was acquired by the person making the disposal.

(12) In any case where—

(a) on the calculation under subsection (10)(a) above, a chargeable gain would have accrued, and

(b) the consideration for the old asset includes such a sum of money as is referred to in subsection (7) above,

then, subject to subsection (13) below, the proportion of that chargeable gain which that sum of money bears to the market value of the old asset immediately before the relevant transaction shall be deemed to accrue at the time of that transaction.

(13) If F94 ... the sum of money referred to in subsection (12)(b) above is small, as compared with the market value of the old asset immediately before the relevant transaction, F94 ... subsection (12) above shall not apply.

(14) In a case where subsection (12) above applies, the chargeable gain which, apart from that subsection, would by virtue of subsection (10)(b) above be deemed to accrue on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the new asset shall be reduced or, as the case may be, extinguished by deducting therefrom the amount of the chargeable gain which, by virtue of subsection (12) above, is deemed to accrue at the time of the relevant transaction.

(15) In any case where—

(a) the new asset mentioned in subsections (10) and (11) above is a qualifying corporate bond in respect of which an allowable loss is treated as accruing under section 254(2), and

(b) the loss is treated as accruing at a time falling after the relevant transaction but before any actual disposal of the new asset subsequent to the relevant transaction,

then for the purposes of subsections (10) and (11) above a subsequent disposal of the new asset shall be treated as occurring at (and only at) the time the loss is treated as accruing.

[F95 (16) This section has effect for the purposes of corporation tax notwithstanding anything in [F96 section 464(1) of CTA 2009] (matters to be brought into account in the case of loan relationships only under [F96 Part 5] of that Act).]

[F97 116A Holding beginning or ceasing to fall within section 490 of CTA 2009 U.K.

(1) Section 116 applies in accordance with the following assumptions if—

(a) a holding that is a relevant holding for the purposes of section 490 of CTA 2009 (holdings in OEICs, unit trusts and offshore funds treated as creditor relationship rights) is held by a company both at the end of one accounting period and at the beginning of the next, and

(b) that section applies to the holding for one of those periods but not for the other.

(2) The assumptions in subsections (3) and (4) apply for the purposes of this Act if the accounting period for which section 490 of CTA 2009 applies to the relevant holding is the first of those periods.

(3) The relevant holding is assumed to have ceased to be a relevant holding for the second of those periods as a result of a transaction such as is mentioned in section 116(1) (“the reorganisation transaction”) occurring at the beginning of that period.

(4) In relation to the reorganisation transaction within subsection (3), for the purposes of section 116—

(a) the relevant holding immediately before the beginning of the second of those periods is assumed to be the old asset, and

(b) the relevant holding immediately after the beginning of that period is assumed to be the new asset.

(5) The assumptions in subsections (6) and (8) apply for the purposes of this Act if the accounting period for which section 490 of CTA 2009 applies to the relevant holding is the second of those periods.

(6) The holding is assumed to have become a relevant holding for the second of those periods as a result of the occurrence at the end of first period of a transaction such as is mentioned in section 116(1).

(7) But subsection (6) does not apply if the first of those periods is a period at the end of which a disposal of the relevant holding is treated as having occurred under section 212 (annual deemed disposal of holdings of unit trusts etc by insurance companies).

(8) In relation to the reorganisation transaction within subsection (6), for the purposes of section 116—

(a) the relevant holding immediately before the beginning of the second of those periods is assumed to be the old asset, and

117 Meaning of “qualifying corporate bond". U.K.

[F104 (A1) For the purposes of corporation tax “qualifying corporate bond” means F105 ... any asset representing a loan relationship of a company; and for purposes other than those of corporation tax references to a qualifying corporate bond shall be construed in accordance with the following provisions of this section.]

(1) For the purposes of this section, a “corporate bond” is a security, as defined in section 132(3)(b)—

(a) the debt on which represents and has at all times represented a normal commercial loan; and

(b) which is expressed in sterling and in respect of which no provision is made for conversion into, or redemption in, a currency other than sterling,

and in paragraph (a) above “normal commercial loan” has the meaning which would be given by [F106 section 162 of CTA 2010 if for paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (2) of that section there were substituted the words “corporate bonds (within the meaning of section 117 of TCGA 1992)”].

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) above—

(a) a security shall not be regarded as expressed in sterling if the amount of sterling falls to be determined by reference to the value at any time of any other currency or asset; and

(b) a provision for redemption in a currency other than sterling but at the rate of exchange prevailing at redemption shall be disregarded.

[F107 (2AA) For the purposes of this section “corporate bond” also includes any asset which is not included in the definition in subsection (1) above and which is a [F108 deeply discounted security for the purposes of Chapter 8 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (see section 430)].]

F109 (2A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

F110 (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(4) For the purposes of this section “corporate bond” also includes a share in a building society—

(a) which is a qualifying share,

(b) which is expressed in sterling, and

(c) in respect of which no provision is made for conversion into, or redemption in, a currency other than sterling.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) above, a share in a building society is a qualifying share if—

(a) it is a permanent interest bearing share, or

(b) it is of a description specified in regulations made by the Treasury for the purposes of this paragraph.

(6) Subsection (2) above applies for the purposes of subsection (4) above as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) above, treating the reference to a security as a reference to a share.

F111 [(6A) For the purposes of this section “corporate bond” also includes, except in relation to a person who acquires it on or after a disposal in relation to which section 115 has or has had effect in accordance with section 116(10)(c), any debenture issued on or after 16th March 1993 which is not a security (as defined in section 132) but—

(a) is issued in circumstances such that it would fall by virtue of section 251(6) to be treated for the purposes of section 251 as such a security; and

(b) would be a corporate bond if it were a security as so defined.]

[F112 (6B) An excluded indexed security issued on or after 6th April 1996 is not a corporate bond for the purposes of this section; and an excluded indexed security issued before that date shall be taken to be such a bond for the purposes of this section only if—

(a) it would be so taken apart from this subsection; and

(b) the question whether it should be so taken arises for the purposes of section 116(10).

(6C) In subsection (6B) above “excluded indexed security” has the same meaning as in [F113 Chapter 8 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (profits from deeply discounted securities) (see section 433)].]

[F114 (6D) Section 151T provides for arrangements to which section 151N (alternative finance arrangements: investment bond arrangements) applies also to be a corporate bond for the purposes of this section.]

(7) Subject to subsections (9) and (10) below, for the purposes of this Act, a corporate bond—

(a) is a “qualifying” corporate bond if it is issued after 13th March 1984; and

(b) becomes a “qualifying” corporate bond if, having been issued on or before that date, it is acquired by any person after that date and that acquisition is not as a result of a disposal which is excluded for the purposes of this subsection, or which was excluded for the purposes of section 64(4) of the M8 Finance Act 1984.

(8) Where a person disposes of a corporate bond which was issued on or before 13th March 1984 and, before the disposal, the bond had not become a qualifying corporate bond, the disposal is excluded for the purposes of subsection (7) above if, by virtue of any enactment—

(a) the disposal is treated for the purposes of this Act as one on which neither a gain nor a loss accrues to the person making the disposal; or

(b) the consideration for the disposal is treated for the purposes of this Act as reduced by an amount equal to the held-over gain on that disposal, as defined for the purposes of section 165 or 260.

[F115 (8A) A corporate bond falling within subsection (2AA) above is a qualifying corporate bond whatever its date of issue.]

F116 (9) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

F116 (10) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(11) For the purposes of this section—

(a) where a security is comprised in a letter of allotment or similar instrument and the right to the security thereby conferred remains provisional until accepted, the security shall not be treated as issued until there has been acceptance; and

[F117 (b) “permanent interest bearing share” means a share which is a permanent interest bearing share [F118 for the purposes of] the [F119 [F120 PRA Handbook made by the Prudential Regulation Authority] under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000] as [F121 that Handbook] applies in relation to shares issued on the date that the share is issued,

F122 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ].

(12) The Treasury may by regulations provide that for the definition of the expression “permanent interest bearing share” in subsection (11) above (as it has effect for the time being) there shall be substituted a different definition of that expression, and regulations under this subsection or subsection (5)(b) above may contain such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provision as the Treasury thinks fit.

(13) This section shall have effect for the purposes of section 254 with the omission of subsections (4) to (6), (11) and (12).
