Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992

Chapter III U.K. Insurance

[F1 204 Policies of insurance and non-deferred annuities U.K.

(1) A gain accruing on a disposal of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by a non-life policy of insurance is not a chargeable gain (but see subsection (2)).

(2) If a disposal is of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by a non-life policy of insurance of the risk of—

(a) any kind of damage to assets, or

(b) the loss or depreciation of assets,

the exemption under subsection (1) does not apply so far as those rights relate to chargeable assets.

(3) For this purpose “chargeable assets” means assets on the disposal of which a chargeable gain—

(a) may accrue, or

(b) might have accrued.

(4) Nothing in subsections (1) and (2) prevents sums received under a non-life policy of insurance of the risk of—

(a) any kind of damage to assets, or

(b) the loss or depreciation of assets,

from being sums derived from the assets for the purposes of this Act (and, in particular, for the purposes of section 22).

(5) A gain accruing on a disposal of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by a contract for an annuity is not a chargeable gain if the annuity is—

(a) a non-deferred annuity, or

(b) an annuity granted (or deemed to be granted) under the Government Annuities Act 1929.

(6) If any investments or other assets are, in accordance with a policy issued in the course of life assurance business carried on by an insurance company, transferred to the policy holder—

(a) the policy holder's acquisition of the assets, and

(b) the disposal of the assets to the policy holder,

are to be taken for the purposes of this Act to be for a consideration equal to the market value of the assets.

(7) In this section “interest”, in relation to any rights, means an interest as a co-owner of the rights.

(8) It does not matter—

(a) whether the rights are owned jointly or in common, or

(b) whether or not the interests of the co-owners are equal.

(9) In this section a “non-deferred annuity” means an annuity—

(a) which is not granted under a contract for a deferred annuity, and

(b) which is granted in the ordinary course of a business of granting annuities on the life of any person,

and it does not matter whether the annuity includes instalments of capital.

(10) In this section a “non-life policy of insurance” means—

(a) a contract made in the course of a capital redemption business, [F2 within the meaning of] [F3 section 56(3) of the Finance Act 2012], and

(b) any F4 ... policy of insurance which is not a policy of insurance on the life of any person.]

[F9 210 Life assurance and deferred annuities. U.K.

(1) This section has effect in relation to any policy of insurance or contract for a deferred annuity on the life of any person.

(2) A gain accruing on a disposal of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by the policy of insurance or contract for a deferred annuity is not a chargeable gain unless subsection (3) below applies.

(3) This subsection applies if—

(a) (in the case of a disposal of the rights) the rights or any interest in the rights, or

(b) (in the case of a disposal of an interest in the rights) the rights, the interest or any interest from which the interest directly or indirectly derives (in whole or in part),

have or has at any time been acquired by any person for actual consideration (as opposed to consideration deemed to be given by any enactment relating to the taxation of chargeable gains).

(4) For the purposes of subsection (3) above —

(a) (in the case of a policy of insurance) amounts paid under the policy by way of premiums, and

(b) (in the case of a contract for a deferred annuity) amounts paid under the contract, whether by way of premiums or as lump sum consideration,

do not constitute actual consideration.

(5) And for those purposes actual consideration for—

(a) a disposal which is made by one spouse [F10 or civil partner] to the other or is an approved post-marriage disposal [F11 or an approved post-civil partnership disposal], or

(b) a disposal to which section 171(1) applies,

is to be treated as not constituting actual consideration.

(6) For the purposes of subsection (5)(a) above a disposal is an approved post-marriage disposal [F12 or an approved post-civil partnership disposal] if—

(a) it is made in consequence of the dissolution or annulment of a marriage [F13 or civil partnership] by one person who was a party to the marriage [F13 or civil partnership] to the other,

(b) it is made with the approval, agreement or authority of a court (or other person or body) having jurisdiction under the law of any country or territory or pursuant to an order of such a court (or other person or body), and

(c) the rights disposed of were, or the interest disposed of was, held by the person by whom the disposal is made immediately before the marriage [F14 or civil partnership] was dissolved or annulled.

(7) Subsection (8) below applies for the purposes of tax on chargeable gains where—

(a) (if that subsection did not apply) a loss would accrue on a disposal of, or of an interest in, the rights conferred by the policy of insurance or contract for a deferred annuity, but

(b) if sections 37 and 39 were disregarded, there would accrue on the disposal a loss of a smaller amount, a gain or neither a loss nor a gain.

(8) If (disregarding those sections) a loss of a smaller amount would accrue, that smaller amount is to be taken to be the amount of the loss accruing on the disposal; and in any other case, neither a loss nor a gain is to be taken to accrue on the disposal.

(9) But subsection (8) above does not affect the treatment for the purposes of tax on chargeable gains of the person who acquired rights, or an interest in rights, on the disposal.

(10) The occasion of—

(a) the receipt of the sum or sums assured by the policy of insurance,

(b) the transfer of investments or other assets to the owner of the policy of insurance in accordance with the policy, or

(c) the surrender of the policy of insurance,

is for the purposes of tax on chargeable gains an occasion of a disposal of the rights (or of all of the interests in the rights) conferred by the policy of insurance.

(11) The occasion of—

(a) the receipt of the first instalment of the annuity under the contract for a deferred annuity, or

(b) the surrender of the rights conferred by the contract for a deferred annuity,

is for the purposes of tax on chargeable gains an occasion of a disposal of the rights (or of all of the interests in the rights) conferred by the contract for a deferred annuity.

(12) Where there is a disposal on the occasion of the receipt of the first instalment of the annuity under the contract for a deferred annuity—

(a) in the case of a disposal of the rights conferred by the contract, the consideration for the disposal is the aggregate of the amount or value of the first instalment and the market value at the time of the disposal of the right to receive the further instalments of the annuity, and

(b) in the case of a disposal of an interest in the rights, the consideration for the disposal is such proportion of that aggregate as is just and reasonable;

and no gain accruing on any subsequent disposal of, or of any interest in, the rights is a chargeable gain (even if subsection (3) above applies).

(13) In this section “interest”, in relation to rights conferred by a policy of insurance or contract for a deferred annuity, means an interest as a co-owner of the rights (whether the rights are owned jointly or in common and whether or not the interests of the co-owners are equal).]

[F15 210A Ring-fencing of losses U.K.

(1) Section 8(1) has effect in relation to insurance companies subject to the provisions of this section.

[F16 (2) Non-BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to an insurance company are allowable as a deduction from the shareholders' share (if any) of the BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company (but are not otherwise allowable as a deduction from the BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company).]

(3) BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to an insurance company are allowable as a deduction from non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company as permitted by the following provisions of this section (and not otherwise).

(4) They are allowable as a deduction from only so much of non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in an accounting period as exceeds the aggregate of—

(a) non-BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in the accounting period, and

(b) non-BLAGAB allowable losses previously accruing to the company which have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in any previous accounting period.

(5) And they are allowable as a deduction from non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in an accounting period only to the extent that they do not exceed the permitted amount for the accounting period.

(6) The permitted amount for the first accounting period of an insurance company in relation to which this section has effect is the aggregate of—

(a) the amount by which shareholders' share for that accounting period of BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in the accounting period exceeds the shareholders' share of BLAGAB chargeable gains so accruing, and

(b) the shareholder’s share for the immediately preceding accounting period of BLAGAB allowable losses previously accruing to the company which have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in that immediately preceding accounting period or any earlier accounting period.

(7) The permitted amount for any subsequent accounting period of the company is arrived at by—

(a) deducting from the permitted amount for the immediately preceding accounting period the amount of any BLAGAB allowable losses allowed as a deduction from non-BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in the immediately preceding accounting period, and

(b) adjusting the result in accordance with subsection (8) or (9) below.

(8) If the BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in the subsequent accounting period exceed the BLAGAB allowable losses so accruing, the amount arrived at under subsection (7)(a) above is reduced by a fraction of which—

(a) the denominator is the BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in any previous accounting period which have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing to the company in any previous accounting period, and

(b) the numerator is so many of those allowable losses as are allowed as a deduction from BLAGAB chargeable gains accruing to the company in the accounting period.

(9) If the BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the company in the subsequent accounting period exceed the BLAGAB chargeable gains so accruing, the amount arrived at under subsection (7)(a) above is increased by the shareholders' share of the amount by which those allowable losses exceed those chargeable gains.

[F17 (10) For the purposes of this section the “shareholders' share” of BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to an insurance company in an accounting period is determined as follows.

(10A) If the company has an I - E profit for the accounting period—

(a) find the percentage (including, if applicable, nil) of the I - E profit that is not represented by the policyholders' share of that profit as determined in accordance with section 103 of the Finance Act 2012, and

(b) then multiply that percentage by the amount of the BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses.

The result is the shareholder's share of the BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses.

(10B) If the company does not have an I - E profit for the accounting period, the shareholders' share of the BLAGAB chargeable gains or BLAGAB allowable losses is nil.

(10C) In determining for the purposes of subsections (10A) and (10B) whether or not the company has an I - E profit for an accounting period, assume that non-BLAGAB allowable losses cannot be deducted to any extent from BLAGAB chargeable gains (and, accordingly, assume that section 95 is not included in the Finance Act 2012).]

(11) In arriving at [F18 the shareholders' share] of chargeable gains accruing to an insurance company under [F19 subsections (10) to (10C)] above there is to be ignored—

(a) any deduction under section 202(9) (mineral leases: capital losses),

(b) any reduction under section 213(3) (spreading of losses from deemed disposal of holdings of unit trust etc), and

(c) any amount carried back under [F20 section 389(1) of CTA 2009] (non-trading deficit on loan relationships).

[F43 211ZA Transfers of business: transfer of unused losses U.K.

(1) This section applies where—

(a) an insurance business transfer scheme has effect to transfer business consisting of or including basic life assurance and general annuity business from one person (“the transferor”) to another (“the transferee”) or more than one others (“the transferees”), and

(b) the transferor has relevant unused losses.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) above the transferor has relevant unused losses if—

(a) BLAGAB allowable losses accrue to the transferor in the accounting period ending with the day of the transfer or have so accrued in any earlier accounting period, and

(b) they are not deducted from chargeable gains accruing to the transferor in that accounting period and have not been deducted from chargeable gains so accruing in any previous accounting period.

[F44 (2A) For the purposes of subsection (2) above, where there is no accounting period of the transferor ending with the day of the transfer—

(a) there is deemed to be such an accounting period,

(b) BLAGAB allowable losses which would have accrued to the transferor in that accounting period are deemed to have accrued to the transferor in that accounting period, and

(c) if those BLAGAB allowable losses would not have been deducted from chargeable gains accruing to the transferor in that accounting period, they are deemed to be relevant unused losses.]

(3) Subject as follows—

(a) for the purposes of ascertaining the transferor’s total profits for any accounting period [F45 ending] after that in which the transfer takes place, the relevant unused losses are deemed not to have accrued to the transferor, but

(b) (instead) they are treated as accruing to the transferee (in accordance with subsection (4) below).

(4) The losses treated as accruing to the transferee under subsection (3)(b) above shall be deemed to be BLAGAB allowable losses accruing to the transferee in the accounting period of the transferee in which the transfer takes place.

(5) But those losses are not allowable as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing before the transfer takes place.

(6) For the purposes of section 210A (ring-fencing of losses), the shareholders' share of those losses is to be taken to be the same proportion as would be the shareholders' share of them if they had remained losses of the transferor.

(7) If only part of the transferor’s basic life assurance and general annuity business is transferred, subsection (3) above applies as if the references to the relevant unused losses were to such part of the relevant unused losses as is appropriate.

(8) If the transfer is to more than one others, subsection (3)(b) above applies as if the reference to the relevant unused losses being treated as accruing to the transferee were to such part of the relevant unused losses as is appropriate being treated as accruing to each of the transferees.

(9) Any question arising as to the operation of subsection (7) or (8) above shall be determined [F46 in the same manner as an appeal, and both the transferor and the transferee shall be entitled to be a party to any proceedings].

(10) In this section “BLAGAB allowable losses” means allowable losses referable[F47 , in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 2 of the Finance Act 2012,] to the transferor’s basic life assurance and general annuity business.]

213 Spreading of gains and losses under section 212. U.K.

(1) Any chargeable gains or allowable losses which would otherwise accrue on disposals deemed by virtue of section 212 to have been made at the end of a company’s accounting period shall be treated as not accruing to it, but instead—

(a) there shall be ascertained the difference (“the net amount”) between the aggregate of those gains and the aggregate of those losses, and

(b) one-seventh of the net amount shall be treated as a chargeable gain or, where it represents an excess of losses over gains, as an allowable loss accruing to the company at the end of the accounting period, and

(c) a further one-seventh shall be treated as a chargeable gain or, as the case may be, as an allowable loss accruing at the end of each succeeding accounting period until the whole amount has been accounted for.

[F63 (1A) Subsection (1) above shall not apply to chargeable gains or allowable losses except so far as they are gains or losses which—

(a) are referable[F64 , in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 2 of the Finance Act 2012,] to basic life assurance and general annuity business F65 ... ]

(2) For any accounting period of less than one year, the fraction of one-seventh referred to in subsection (1)(c) above shall be proportionately reduced; and where this subsection has had effect in relation to any accounting period before the last for which subsection (1)(c) above applies, the fraction treated as accruing at the end of that last accounting period shall also be adjusted appropriately.

(3) [F66 Subject to [F67 subsection (8H)] below,] Where—

(a) the net amount for an accounting period of an insurance company represents an excess of gains over losses,

(b) the net amount for [F68 either of the next 2] accounting periods (after taking account of any reductions made by virtue of this [F69 section]) represents an excess of losses over gains,

(c) there is (after taking account of any such reductions) no net amount for [F70 the intervening accounting period (if there is one)],

[F71 (ca) [F72 the intervening accounting period (if there is one) is not] an accounting period in which the company joined a group of companies, and]

(d) within 2 years after the end of the later accounting period the company makes a claim for the purpose in respect of the whole or part of the net amount for that period,

the net amounts for both the earlier and the later period shall be reduced by the amount in respect of which the claim is made.

F74 (3B) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(4) Subject to subsection (5) below, where a company ceases to carry on [F75 long-term] business before the end of the last of the accounting periods for which subsection (1)(c) above would apply in relation to a net amount, the fraction of that amount that is treated as accruing at the end of the accounting period ending with the cessation shall be such as to secure that the whole of the net amount has been accounted for.

[F76 (4ZA) Subsection (4) applies in relation to an overseas life insurance company with the insertion after “long-term business” of the words “in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment”.]

[F77 (4ZB) Subject to subsection (5) below, where a company—

(a) acquired units in a collective investment scheme where section 211B(2) applied in relation to that acquisition, and

(b) other than by virtue of section 212, disposes of some or all of those units during the period of three years after the end of the accounting period of the company in which the acquisition took place,

the fraction of any net amount that is treated as accruing at the end of the accounting period of the company in which the disposal occurs is to be adjusted so as to secure that the whole of the chargeable gain or allowable loss attributable to the units disposed of which has been taken into account in determining the net amount has been accounted for; and fractions of the net amount treated as accruing at the end of subsequent accounting periods are to be adjusted accordingly.

(4ZC) For the purposes of subsection (4ZB) (notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 1 of Part 4 (shares, securities, options etc))—

(a) units in a collective investment scheme acquired as mentioned in subsection (4ZB)(a) are treated as being disposed of before other units in the scheme or, where there are different classes of unit in the scheme, units of the same class held by the company, and

(b) where units are acquired as mentioned in subsection (4ZB)(a) at different times, units acquired at a later time are treated as disposed of before units acquired at an earlier time or, where there are different classes of unit in the scheme, units of the same class acquired at an earlier time.

(4ZD) In subsections (4ZB) and (4ZC), in relation to a relevant offshore fund, “units” means rights in the fund which are treated as shares under section 103A (application of Act to certain offshore funds).

(4ZE) In subsection (4ZD), “relevant offshore fund” has the same meaning as in section 103A.]

[F78 (4A) The following provisions apply where an insurance business transfer scheme has effect to transfer business which consists of the effecting or carrying out of contracts of long-term insurance from one person (“the transferor”) to another (“the transferee”).

(5) Subject to subsections (5A) to (7) below, any chargeable gain or allowable loss which ([F79 making the assumptions in subsection (5ZA) below]) would have accrued to the transferor by virtue of subsection (1) above after the transfer shall instead be deemed to accrue to the transferee.]

[F80 (5ZA) The assumptions referred to in subsection (5) above are—

(a) that the transferor had continued to carry on the business transferred after the transfer, and

(b) where there is no accounting period of the transferor ending with the day of the transfer, that for the purposes of section 212 and this section, there was such an accounting period.]

[F81 (5A) Subsection (5) above shall not apply where the transferee is resident outside the United Kingdom unless the business to which the transfer relates is carried on by the transferee, for a period beginning with the time when the transfer takes effect, through a [F82 permanent establishment] in the United Kingdom.]

(6) Where subsection (5) above has effect, the amount of the gain or loss accruing at the end of the first accounting period of the transferee ending after the day when the transfer takes place shall be calculated as if that accounting period began with the day after the transfer.

(7) Where the transfer is of part only of the transferor’s [F83 long-term] business, subsection (5) above shall apply only to such part of any amount to which it would otherwise apply as is appropriate.

(8) Any question arising as to the operation of subsection (7) above shall be determined [F84 in the same manner as an appeal, and both the transferor and the transferee shall be entitled to be a party to any proceedings].

[F85 (8A) Subsection (8B) below applies where—

F86 (a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(b) the transferor and the transferee are, at the time of the transfer, members of the same group,

(c) the [F87 transferred assets] net amount for the accounting period of the transferor ending with the day of the transfer, or for the immediately preceding accounting period of the transferor, (“the relevant pre-transfer period of the transferor”) represents an excess of gains over losses,

(d) the [F87 transferred assets] net amount for the accounting period of the transferee in which the transfer takes place, or for the immediately following accounting period of the transferee, (“the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee”) represents an excess of losses over gains (after taking account of any reductions made by virtue of this section), and

(e) within 2 years after the end of the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee, the transferor and the transferee make a joint election in respect of the whole or part of the net amount for that period by notice to an officer of the Board.

(8B) Subject to subsections (8C) to (8E) and (8H) below, the [F88 transferred assets] net amounts for both the relevant pre-transfer period of the transferor and the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee shall be reduced by the amount in respect of which the election is made.

(8C) Subsection (8B) above does not apply if—

(a) the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee is the accounting period immediately following that in which the transfer takes place, and

(b) the relevant pre-transfer period of the transferor is the accounting period immediately preceding that ending with the day of the transfer.

(8D) If—

(a) the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee is the accounting period immediately following that in which the transfer takes place, and

(b) the relevant pre-transfer period of the transferor is the accounting period ending with the day of the transfer,

subsection (8B) above applies only if the conditions in subsection (8F) below are satisfied in relation to the accounting period of the transferee in which the transfer takes place.

(8E) If—

(a) the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee is the accounting period in which the transfer takes place, and

(b) the relevant pre-transfer period of the transferor is the accounting period immediately preceding that ending with the day of the transfer,

subsection (8B) above applies only if the conditions in subsection (8F) below are satisfied in relation to the accounting period of the transferor ending with the day of the transfer.

(8F) The conditions referred to in subsections (8D) and (8E) above are that—

(a) there is (after taking account of any reductions made by virtue of this section) no [F89 transferred assets] net amount for the accounting period, and

(b) the company whose accounting period it is did not join a group of companies in the accounting period.

(8G) A copy of the notice containing an election under subsection (8A)(e) above must accompany the tax return for the relevant post-transfer period of the transferee; and paragraphs 54 to 60 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (claims and elections for corporation tax purposes) do not apply to such an election.

(8H) [F90 Subsection (3) above has] effect where the company, or the transferee, in question joins a group of companies in the accounting period for which the net amount represents an excess of losses over gains as if a claim or election could not be made in respect of that net amount except to the extent (if any) [F91 that the net amount would still arise even if losses accruing after the date on which the company or transferee joined the group of companies were disregarded].

[F92 (8HA) Subsections (8A) and (8B) above have effect where the company, or the transferee, in question joins a group of companies in the accounting period for which the transferred assets net amount represents an excess of losses over gains as if a claim or election could not be made in respect of that net amount except to the extent (if any) that the transferred assets net amount would still arise even if losses accruing after the date on which the company or transferee joined the group of companies were disregarded.]

(8I) References in this section to a company joining a group of companies are to be construed in accordance with [F93 section 184C as if those references were contained in that section; and in subsection (8A)(b) above “group” has the same meaning as in that section].]

[F94 (8J) “Transferred assets net amount” means a net amount ascertained in accordance with section 213(1)(a) but only in relation to those assets referred to in section 212(1) which are transferred by the insurance business transfer scheme from the transferor to the transferee.]
