IntroductionU.K.

1For the purposes of this Schedule an existing asset, liability or contract is an asset, liability or contract to which this Chapter applies by virtue of section 165(2) or (3) of this Act or by virtue of regulations under section 165(4) of this Act.

Attributed gain or lossU.K.

3(1)Regulations may provide that—

(a)an amount found in accordance with prescribed rules shall be attributed to an existing asset or liability, and

(b)the amount shall be characterised as a gain or loss in accordance with prescribed rules.

(2)The regulations may provide that an attributed gain or loss shall be set off against exchange losses or exchange gains accruing as regards the asset or liability; and for this purpose—

(a)an exchange gain is an exchange gain of a trade or an exchange gain of part of a trade or a non-trading exchange gain;

(b)an exchange loss is an exchange loss of a trade or an exchange loss of part of a trade or a non-trading exchange loss.

(3)The regulations may provide that if an event of a prescribed description occurs as regards the asset or liability at a time falling on or after the commencement day of the company concerned and at a time when all or part of an attributed gain or loss is outstanding—

(a)an initial exchange gain or initial exchange loss of an amount found in accordance with prescribed rules shall be treated as accruing to the company as regards the asset or liability, or

(b)a chargeable gain or allowable loss of an amount found in accordance with prescribed rules shall be treated as accruing to the company as regards the asset or liability for the purposes of the M1Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.

(4)The regulations may provide that where—

(a)apart from provision under this sub-paragraph, an allowable loss would be treated as accruing by virtue of provision made under sub-paragraph (3)(b) above, and

the loss shall not be treated as accruing and relief of an amount equal to it shall be given to the company in such form and manner as may be prescribed.

(5)The regulations may provide that where provision under this paragraph has effect the outstanding attributed gain or loss shall be treated as reduced or extinguished.

(6)The regulations may make provision—

4(1)Regulations may provide that where an exchange gain or exchange loss accrues to a company as regards an existing asset or liability (or would so accrue apart from the regulations)—

(a)the amount of the gain or loss shall be deemed to be increased in accordance with prescribed rules,

(a)exchange differences arising as regards the asset or liability at any time while the company actually holds or owes it (whether any such time falls before, on or after the company’s commencement day);

(b)such other factors as the Treasury think fit;

and for this purpose exchange differences are gains and losses attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

the loss shall be set off against exchange gains accruing to the company.

(2)For the purposes of this paragraph an exchange gain is an exchange gain of a trade or an exchange gain of part of a trade or a non-trading exchange gain.
