(a)a person disposes of an asset consisting of a right or an interest in a company, and
(b)the asset derives at least 75% of its value from UK land,
the person has a substantial indirect interest in UK land if, at any time in the period of 2 years ending with the time of the disposal, the person has a 25% investment in the company.
(2)But a person is not to be regarded as having a 25% investment in the company at times falling in the person's qualifying ownership period if, having regard to the length of that period, the times (taken as whole) constitute an insignificant proportion of that period.
(3)The “person's qualifying ownership period” means the period throughout which the person has held an asset consisting of a right or an interest in the company, but excluding times that fall before the beginning of the 2 year period mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).

(d)in the event of a winding-up of C or in any other circumstances, P would receive 25% or more of C's assets which would then be available for distribution among the equity holders in C in respect of the equity in C.
(2)In this paragraph references to the equity in C are to—
(a)the shares in C other than restricted preference shares, or
(b)loans to C other than normal commercial loans.
(3)For this purpose “shares in C” includes—
(a)stock, and
(b)any other interests of members in C.
(4)For the purposes of this paragraph a person is an equity holder in C if the person possesses any of the equity in C.
(5)For the purposes of this paragraph—
“normal commercial loan” means a loan which is a normal commercial loan for the purposes of section 158(1)(b) or 159(4)(b) of CTA 2010, and
“restricted preference shares” means shares which are restricted preference shares for the purposes of section 160 of CTA 2010.
(6)In a case where C is a company which does not have share capital, in applying for the purposes of this paragraph the definitions of “normal commercial loan” and “restricted preference shares”—
(a)sections 160(2) to (7) and 161 to 164 of CTA 2010, and
(b)any other relevant provisions of that Act,
have effect with the necessary modifications.
(7)In this paragraph references to a person receiving any proceeds, amount or assets include—
(a)the direct or indirect receipt of the proceeds, amount or assets, and
(b)the direct or indirect application of the proceeds, amount or assets for the person's benefit,
and it does not matter whether the receipt or application is at the time of the disposal, distribution, winding-up or other circumstances or at a later time.
(8)If—
(a)there is a direct receipt or direct application of any proceeds, amount or assets by or for the benefit of a person (“A”), and
(b)another person (“B”) directly or indirectly owns a percentage of the equity in A,
there is, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (7), an indirect receipt or indirect application of that percentage of the proceeds, amount or assets by or for the benefit of B.
(9)For this purpose the percentage of the equity in A directly or indirectly owned by B is to be determined by applying the rules in sections 1155 to 1157 of CTA 2010 with such modifications (if any) as may be necessary.
(10)Sub-paragraph (7) is not to result in a person being regarded as having a 25% investment in another person merely as a result of their being parties to a normal commercial loan.
(11)Any reference in this paragraph, in the case of a person who is a member of a partnership, to the proceeds, amount or assets of the person includes the person's share of the proceeds, amount or assets of the partnership (apportioning those things between the partners on a just and reasonable basis).
10(1)In determining for the purposes of paragraph 9 the investment that a person (“P”) has in a company, P is to be taken to have all of the rights and interests of any person connected with P.U.K.
(2)A person is not to be regarded as connected with another person for the purposes of this paragraph merely as a result of their being parties to a loan that is a normal commercial loan for the purposes of paragraph 9.
