(a)a payment which he is so required to make in respect of that period has not been received in full by the Commissioners by the day on which it became due; or
(b)he would, but for section 59(1A), be in default in respect of that period for the purposes of section 59.
(2)Subject to subsections (10) and (11) below, subsection (4) below applies in any case where—
(a)a taxable person is in default in respect of a prescribed accounting period; and
(b)the Commissioners serve notice on the taxable person (a “surcharge liability notice”) specifying as a surcharge period for the purposes of this section a period which—
(i)begins, subject to subsection (3) below, on the date of the notice; and
(ii)ends on the first anniversary of the last day of the period referred to in paragraph (a) above.
(3)If—
(a)a surcharge liability notice is served by reason of a default in respect of a prescribed accounting period, and
(b)that period ends at or before the expiry of an existing surcharge period already notified to the taxable person concerned,
the surcharge period specified in that notice shall be expressed as a continuation of the existing surcharge period; and, accordingly, the existing period and its extension shall be regarded as a single surcharge period.
(4)Subject to subsections (7) to (11) below, if—
(a)a taxable person on whom a surcharge liability notice has been served is in default in respect of a prescribed accounting period,
(b)that prescribed accounting period is one ending within the surcharge period specified in (or extended by) that notice, and
(c)the aggregate value of his defaults in respect of that prescribed accounting period is more than nil,
that person shall be liable to a surcharge equal to whichever is the greater of £30 and the specified percentage of the aggregate value of his defaults in respect of that prescribed accounting period.
(5)Subject to subsections (7) to (11) below, the specified percentage referred to in subsection (4) above shall be determined in relation to a prescribed accounting period by reference to the number of such periods during the surcharge period which are periods in respect of which the taxable person is in default and in respect of which the value of his defaults is more than nil, so that—
(a)in relation to the first such prescribed accounting period, the specified percentage is 2 per cent.;
(b)in relation to the second such period, the specified percentage is 5 per cent.;
(c)in relation to the third such period, the specified percentage is 10 per cent.; and
(d)in relation to each such period after the third, the specified percentage is 15 per cent.
(6)For the purposes of this section the aggregate value of a person’s defaults in respect of a prescribed accounting period shall be calculated as follows—
(a)where the whole or any part of a payment in respect of that period on account of VAT was not received by the Commissioners by the day on which it became due, an amount equal to that payment or, as the case may be, to that part of it shall be taken to be the value of the default relating to that payment;
(b)if there is more than one default with a value given by paragraph (a) above, those values shall be aggregated;
(c)the total given by paragraph (b) above, or (where there is only one default) the value of the default under paragraph (a) above, shall be taken to be the value for that period of that person’s defaults on payments on account;
(d)the value of any default by that person which is a default falling within subsection (1)(b) above shall be taken to be equal to the amount of any outstanding VAT less the amount of unpaid payments on account; and
(e)the aggregate value of a person’s defaults in respect of that period shall be taken to be the aggregate of—
(i)the value for that period of that person’s defaults (if any) on payments on account; and
(ii)the value of any default of his in respect of that period that falls within subsection (1)(b) above.
(7)In the application of subsection (6) above for the calculation of the aggregate value of a person’s defaults in respect of a prescribed accounting period—
(a)the amount of outstanding VAT referred to in paragraph (d) of that subsection is the amount (if any) which would be the amount of that person’s outstanding VAT for that period for the purposes of section 59(4); and
(b)the amount of unpaid payments on account referred to in that paragraph is the amount (if any) equal to so much of any payments on account of VAT (being payments in respect of that period) as has not been received by the Commissioners by the last day on which that person is required (as mentioned in section 59(1)) to make a return for that period.
(8)If a person who, apart from this subsection, would be liable to a surcharge under subsection (4) above satisfies the Commissioners or, on appeal, a tribunal—
(a)in the case of a default that is material for the purposes of the surcharge and falls within subsection (1)(a) above—
(i)that the payment on account of VAT was despatched at such a time and in such a manner that it was reasonable to expect that it would be received by the Commissioners by the day on which it became due, or
(ii)that there is a reasonable excuse for the payment not having been so despatched,
or
(b)in the case of a default that is material for the purposes of the surcharge and falls within subsection (1)(b) above, that the condition specified in section 59(7)(a) or (b) is satisfied as respects the default,
he shall not be liable to the surcharge and for the purposes of the preceding provisions of this section he shall be treated as not having been in default in respect of the prescribed accounting period in question (and, accordingly, any surcharge liability notice the service of which depended upon that default shall be deemed not to have been served).
(9)For the purposes of subsection (8) above, a default is material to a surcharge if—
(a)it is the default which, by virtue of subsection (4) above, gives rise to the surcharge; or
(b)it is a default which was taken into account in the service of the surcharge liability notice upon which the surcharge depends and the person concerned has not previously been liable to a surcharge in respect of a prescribed accounting period ending within the surcharge period specified in or extended by that notice.
(10)In any case where—
(a)the conduct by virtue of which a person is in default in respect of a prescribed accounting period is also conduct falling within section 69(1), and
(b)by reason of that conduct, the person concerned is assessed to a penalty under section 69,
the default shall be left out of account for the purposes of subsections (2) to (5) above.
(11)If the Commissioners, after consultation with the Treasury, so direct, a default in respect of a prescribed accounting period specified in the direction shall be left out of account for the purposes of subsections (2) to (5) above.
(12)For the purposes of this section the Commissioners shall be taken not to receive a payment by the day on which it becomes due unless it is made in such a manner as secures (in a case where the payment is made otherwise than in cash) that, by the last day for the payment of that amount, all the transactions can be completed that need to be completed before the whole amount of the payment becomes available to the Commissioners.
(13)In determining for the purposes of this section whether any person would, but for section 59(1A), be in default in respect of any period for the purposes of section 59, subsection (12) above shall be deemed to apply for the purposes of section 59 as it applies for the purposes of this section.
(14)For the purposes of this section references to a thing’s being done by any day include references to its being done on that day.”

“(1A)A person shall not be regarded for the purposes of this section as being in default in respect of any prescribed accounting period if that period is one in respect of which he is required by virtue of any order under section 28 to make any payment on account of VAT.”
(4)After subsection (10) of that section there shall be inserted the following subsection—
“(11)For the purposes of this section references to a thing’s being done by any day include references to its being done on that day.”
(5)After the section 59A inserted by subsection (2) above there shall be inserted the following section—
(1)This section applies in each of the following cases, namely—
(a)where a section 28 accounting period ends within a surcharge period begun or extended by the service on a taxable person (whether before or after the coming into force of section 59A) of a surcharge liability notice under section 59; and
(b)where a prescribed accounting period which is not a section 28 accounting period ends within a surcharge period begun or extended by the service on a taxable person of a surcharge liability notice under section 59A.
(2)In a case falling within subsection (1)(a) above section 59A shall have effect as if—
(a)subject to paragraph (b) below, the section 28 accounting period were deemed to be a period ending within a surcharge period begun or, as the case may be, extended by a notice served under section 59A; but
(b)any question—
(i)whether a surcharge period was begun or extended by the notice, or
(ii)whether the taxable person was in default in respect of any prescribed accounting period which was not a section 28 accounting period but ended within the surcharge period begun or extended by that notice,
were to be determined as it would be determined for the purposes of section 59.
(3)In a case falling within subsection (1)(b) above section 59 shall have effect as if—
(a)subject to paragraph (b) below, the prescribed accounting period that is not a section 28 accounting period were deemed to be a period ending within a surcharge period begun or, as the case may be, extended by a notice served under section 59;
(b)any question—
(i)whether a surcharge period was begun or extended by the notice, or
(ii)whether the taxable person was in default in respect of any prescribed accounting period which was a section 28 accounting period but ended within the surcharge period begun or extended by that notice,
were to be determined as it would be determined for the purposes of section 59A; and
(c)that person were to be treated as having had outstanding VAT for a section 28 accounting period in any case where the aggregate value of his defaults in respect of that period was, for the purposes of section 59A, more than nil.
(4)In this section “a section 28 accounting period”, in relation to a taxable person, means any prescribed accounting period ending on or after the day on which the Finance Act 1996 was passed in respect of which that person is liable by virtue of an order under section 28 to make any payment on account of VAT.”
(6)In section 69(4)(a) and (9)(b) (disregard in connection with penalties for breach of regulations of conduct giving rise to a surcharge), after the words “section 59”, in each case, there shall be inserted “ or 59A ”.
(7)In section 76(1) and (3)(a) (assessments for surcharges), after the words “section 59”, in each case, there shall be inserted “ or 59A ”.
(8)This section applies in relation to any prescribed accounting period ending on or after 1st June 1996, but a liability to make a payment on account of VAT shall be disregarded for the purposes of the amendments made by this section if the payment is one becoming due before that date.

(5)Where as a result of an operation on eligible goods subject to a fiscal warehousing regime they cease to be eligible goods, on their ceasing to be so sections 18B to 18E shall apply as if they had at that time been removed from the fiscal warehousing regime; and for that purpose the proprietor of the goods shall be treated as if he were the person removing them.
(6)Where—
(a)any person ceases to be a fiscal warehousekeeper; or
(b)any premises cease to have fiscal warehouse status,
sections 18B to 18E and this section shall apply as if the goods of which he is the fiscal warehousekeeper, or the goods in the fiscal warehouse, as the case may be, had at that time been removed from the fiscal warehousing regime; and for that purpose the proprietor of the goods shall be treated as if he were the person removing them.
(7)The Commissioners may make regulations governing the deposit, keeping, securing and treatment of goods in a fiscal warehouse, and the removal of goods from a fiscal warehouse.
(8)Regulations may, without prejudice to the generality of subsection (7) above, include provisions—
(a)in relation to—
(i)goods which are, have been or are to be subject to a fiscal warehousing regime,
(ii)other goods which are, have been or are to be kept in fiscal warehouses,
(iii)fiscal warehouse premises, and
(iv)fiscal warehousekeepers and their businesses,

(e)concerning goods which, though kept in a fiscal warehouse, are not eligible goods or are not intended by a relevant person to be goods in respect of which reliefs are to be enjoyed under sections 18A to 18E and this section;
(f)prohibiting the fiscal warehousekeeper from allowing goods to be removed from the fiscal warehousing regime without payment of any VAT payable under section 18D on or by reference to that removal and, if in breach of that prohibition he allows goods to be so removed, making him liable for the VAT jointly and severally with the remover,
and may contain such incidental or supplementary provisions as the Commissioners think necessary or expedient.
(9)Regulations may make different provision for different cases, including different provision for different fiscal warehousekeepers or descriptions of fiscal warehousekeeper, for fiscal warehouses of different descriptions or for goods of different classes or descriptions or of the same class or description in different circumstances.”

Section 31.
The following is the Schedule which shall be inserted after Schedule 9 to the M145Value Added Tax Act 1994—
1(1)Subject to paragraph 2 below, the Commissioners may give a direction under this Schedule if, in any case—
(a)a relevant event has occurred;
(b)the condition specified in sub-paragraph (3) below is fulfilled;
(c)that condition would not be fulfilled apart from the occurrence of that event; and
(d)in the case of an event falling within sub-paragraph (2)(b) below, the transaction in question is not a supply which is the only supply by reference to which the case falls within paragraphs (a) to (c) above.
(2)For the purposes of this Schedule, a relevant event occurs when a body corporate—
(a)begins to be, or ceases to be, treated as a member of a group; or
(b)enters into any transaction.
(3)The condition mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above is that—
(a)there has been, or will or may be, a taxable supply on which VAT has been, or will or may be, charged otherwise than by reference to the supply’s full value;
(b)there is at least a part of the supply which is not or, as the case may be, would not be zero-rated; and
(c)the charging of VAT on the supply otherwise than by reference to its full value gives rise or, as the case may be, would give rise to a tax advantage.
(4)For the purposes of this paragraph the charging of VAT on a supply (“the undercharged supply”) otherwise than by reference to its full value shall be taken to give rise to a tax advantage if, and only if, a person has become entitled—
(a)to credit for input tax allowable as attributable to that supply or any part of it, or
(b)in accordance with regulations under section 39, to any repayment in respect of that supply or any part of it.
(5)The cases where a person shall be taken for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above to have become entitled to a credit for input tax allowable as attributable to the undercharged supply, or to a part of it, shall include any case where—
(a)a person has become entitled to a credit for any input tax on the supply to him, or the acquisition or importation by him, of any goods or services; and
(b)whatever the supplies to which the credit was treated as attributable when the entitlement to it arose, those goods or services are used by him in making the undercharged supply, or a part of it.
(6)For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) above where—
(a)there is a supply of any of the assets of a business of a person (“the transferor”) to a person to whom the whole or any part of that business is transferred as a going concern (“the transferee”), and
(b)that supply is treated, in accordance with an order under section 5(3), as being neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services,
the question, so far as it falls to be determined by reference to those assets, whether a credit for input tax to which any person has become entitled is one allowable as attributable to the whole or any part of a supply shall be determined as if the transferor and the transferee were the same person.
(7)Where, in a case to which sub-paragraph (6) above applies, the transferor himself acquired any of the assets in question by way of a supply falling within paragraphs (a) and (b) of that sub-paragraph, that sub-paragraph shall have the effect, as respects the assets so acquired, of requiring the person from whom those assets were acquired to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) above as the same person as the transferor and the transferee, and so on in the case of any number of successive supplies falling within those paragraphs.
(8)For the purposes of this paragraph any question—
(a)whether any credit for input tax to which a person has become entitled was, or is to be taken to have been, a credit allowable as attributable to the whole or any part of a supply, or
(b)whether any repayment is a repayment in respect of the whole or any part of a supply,
shall be determined, in relation to a supply of a right to goods or services or to a supply of goods or services by virtue of such a right, as if the supply of the right and supplies made by virtue of the right were a single supply of which the supply of the right and each of those supplies constituted different parts.
(9)References in this paragraph to the full value of a supply are references to the amount which (having regard to any direction under paragraph 1 of Schedule 6) would be the full value of that supply for the purposes of the charge to VAT if that supply were not a supply falling to be disregarded, to any extent, in pursuance of section 43(1)(a).
(10)References in this paragraph to the supply of a right to goods or services include references to the supply of any right, option or priority with respect to the supply of goods or services, and to the supply of an interest deriving from any right to goods or services.
2The Commissioners shall not give a direction under this Schedule by reference to a relevant event if they are satisfied that—
(a)the change in the treatment of the body corporate, or
(b)the transaction in question,
had as its main purpose or, as the case may be, as each of its main purposes a genuine commercial purpose unconnected with the fulfilment of the condition specified in paragraph 1(3) above.
3(1)The directions that may be given by the Commissioners under this Schedule are either—
(a)a direction relating to any supply of goods or services that has been made, in whole or in part, by one body corporate to another; or
(b)a direction relating to a particular body corporate.
(2)A direction under this Schedule relating to a supply shall require it to be assumed (where it would not otherwise be the case) that, to the extent described in the direction, the supply was not a supply falling to be disregarded in pursuance of section 43(1)(a).
(3)A direction under this Schedule relating to a body corporate shall require it to be assumed (where it would not otherwise be the case) that, for such period (comprising times before the giving of the direction or times afterwards or both) as may be described in the direction, the body corporate—
(a)did not fall to be treated, or is not to be treated, as a member of a group, or of a particular group so described; or
(b)fell to be treated, or is to be treated, as a member of any group so described of which, for that period, it was or is eligible to be a member.
(4)Where a direction under this Schedule requires any assumptions to be made, then—
(a)so far as the assumptions relate to times on or after the day on which the direction is given, this Act shall have effect in relation to such times in accordance with those assumptions; and
(b)paragraph 6 below shall apply for giving effect to those assumptions in so far as they relate to earlier times.
(5)A direction falling within sub-paragraph (3)(b) above may identify in relation to any times or period the body corporate which is to be assumed to have been, or to be, the representative member of the group at those times or for that period.
(6)A direction under this Schedule may vary the effect of a previous direction under this Schedule.
(7)The Commissioners may at any time, by notice in writing to the person to whom it was given, withdraw a direction under this Schedule.
(8)The refusal or non-refusal by the Commissioners of an application under section 43 shall not prejudice the power of the Commissioners to give a direction under this Schedule requiring any case to be assumed to be what it would have been had the application not been refused or, as the case may be, had it been refused.
4(1)A direction under this Schedule shall not be given more than six years after whichever is the later of—
(a)the occurrence of the relevant event by reference to which it is given; and
(b)the time when the relevant entitlement arose.
(2)A direction under this Schedule shall not be given by reference to a relevant event occurring on or before 28th November 1995.
(3)Subject to sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) above, a direction under this Schedule—
(a)may be given by reference to a relevant event occurring before the coming into force of this Schedule; and
(b)may require assumptions to be made in relation to times (including times before 29th November 1995) falling before the occurrence of the relevant event by reference to which the direction is given, or before the relevant entitlement arose.
(4)For the purposes of this paragraph the reference, in relation to the giving of a direction, to the relevant entitlement is a reference to the entitlement by reference to which the requirements of paragraph 1(4) above are taken to be satisfied for the purposes of that direction.
5(1)A direction under this Schedule relating to a supply may be given to—
(a)the person who made the supply to which the direction relates; or
(b)any body corporate which, at the time when the direction is given, is the representative member of a group of which that person was treated as being a member at the time of the supply.
(2)A direction under this Schedule relating to a body corporate (“the relevant body”) may be given to that body or to any body corporate which at the time when the direction is given is, or in pursuance of the direction is to be treated as, the representative member of a group of which the relevant body—
(a)is treated as being a member;
(b)was treated as being a member at a time to which the direction relates; or
(c)is to be treated as being, or having been, a member at any such time.
(3)A direction given to any person under this Schedule shall be given to him by notice in writing.
(4)A direction under this Schedule must specify the relevant event by reference to which it is given.
6(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where—
(a)a direction is given under this Schedule, and
(b)there is an amount of VAT (“the unpaid tax”) for which a relevant person would have been liable before the giving of the direction if the facts had accorded with the assumptions specified in the direction,
the Commissioners may, to the best of their judgement, assess the amount of unpaid tax as tax due from the person to whom the direction was given or another relevant person and notify their assessment to that person.
(2)In sub-paragraph (1) above the reference to an amount of VAT for which a person would, on particular assumptions, have been liable before the giving of a direction under this Schedule is a reference to the aggregate of the following—
(a)any amount of output tax which, on those assumptions but not otherwise, would have been due from a relevant person at the end of a prescribed accounting period ending before the giving of the direction;
(b)the amount of any credit for input tax to which a relevant person is treated as having been entitled at the end of such an accounting period but to which he would not have been entitled on those assumptions; and
(c)the amount of any repayment of tax made to a relevant person in accordance with regulations under section 39 but to which he would not have been entitled on those assumptions.
(3)Where any assessment falls to be made under this paragraph in a case in which the Commissioners are satisfied that the actual revenue loss is less than the unpaid tax, the total amount to be assessed under this paragraph shall not exceed what appears to them, to the best of their judgement, to be the amount of that loss.
(4)For the purposes of the making of an assessment under this paragraph in relation to any direction, the actual revenue loss shall be taken to be equal to the amount of the unpaid tax less the amount given by aggregating the amounts of every entitlement—
(a)to credit for input tax, or
(b)to a repayment in accordance with regulations under section 39,
which (whether as an entitlement of the person in relation to whom the assessment is made or as an entitlement of any other person) would have arisen on the assumptions contained in the direction, but not otherwise.
(5)An assessment under this paragraph relating to a direction may be notified to the person to whom that direction is given by being incorporated in the same notice as that direction.
(6)An assessment under this paragraph shall not be made—
(a)more than one year after the day on which the direction to which it relates was given, or
(b)in the case of any direction that has been withdrawn.
(7)Where an amount has been assessed on any person under this paragraph and notified to him—
(a)that amount shall be deemed (subject to the provisions of this Act as to appeals) to be an amount of VAT due from him;
(b)that amount may be recovered accordingly, either from that person or, in the case of a body corporate that is for the time being treated as a member of a group, from the representative member of that group; and
(c)to the extent that more than one person is liable by virtue of any assessment under this paragraph in respect of the same amount of unpaid tax, those persons shall be treated as jointly and severally liable for that amount.
(8)Sub-paragraph (7) above does not have effect if or to the extent that the assessment in question has been withdrawn or reduced.
(9)Sections 74 and 77(6) apply in relation to assessments under this paragraph as they apply in relation to assessments under section 73 but as if the reference in subsection (1) of section 74 to the reckonable date were a reference to the date on which the assessment is notified.
(10)Where by virtue of sub-paragraph (9) above any person is liable to interest under section 74—
(a)section 76 shall have effect in relation to that liability with the omission of subsections (2) to (6); and
(b)section 77, except subsection (6), shall not apply to an assessment of the amount due by way of interest;
and (without prejudice to the power to make assessments for interest for later periods) the interest to which any assessment made under section 76 by virtue of paragraph (a) above may relate shall be confined to interest for a period of no more than two years ending with the time when the assessment to interest is made.
(11)In this paragraph “a relevant person”, in relation to a direction, means—
(a)the person to whom the direction is given;
(b)the body corporate which was the representative member of any group of which that person was treated as being, or in pursuance of the direction is to be treated as having been, a member at a time to which the assumption specified in the direction relates; or
(c)any body corporate which, in pursuance of the direction, is to be treated as having been the representative member of such a group.
7(1)References in this Schedule to being treated as a member of a group and to being eligible to be treated as a member of a group shall be construed in accordance with section 43.
(2)For the purposes of this Schedule the giving of any notice or notification to any receiver, liquidator or person otherwise acting in a representative capacity in relation to another shall be treated as the giving of a notice or, as the case may be, notification to the person in relation to whom he so acts.”

7U.K.The amendments of the 1992 Act contained in Schedule 14 to this Act and the related repeals made by this Act—
(a)so far as they relate to section 253 of the 1992 Act, do not apply to any loan the outstanding amount of principal on which became irrecoverable before 1st April 1996;
(b)so far as they relate to section 254 of the 1992 Act, do not apply to any security whose value became negligible before 1st April 1996;
(c)so far as they relate to anything else, do not apply in relation to any disposal made, or deemed to be made, before 1st April 1996.
8(1)This paragraph applies where—U.K.
(a)on 31st March 1996 any company (“the relevant company”) held any asset representing, in whole or in part, any loan relationship to which it was a party on that date;
(b)the company did not dispose of that asset on that date and does not fall (apart from by virtue of this paragraph) to be treated for the purposes of the 1992 Act as having made a disposal of it on that date;
(c)the asset is not one to which section 92 of this Act or paragraph 15 below applies;
(d)that asset is not an asset representing a loan relationship to which section 93 of this Act applies;
(e)that asset is not a relevant qualifying asset; and
(f)a relevant event occurs.
(2)For the purposes of this paragraph a relevant event occurs on the first occasion after 31st March 1996 when the relevant company or any other company falls to be treated for the purposes of the 1992 Act as making a disposal, other than one to which section 139, 140A, [F393or 171(1)] of that Act (disposals on which neither a gain nor a loss accrues) applies, of—
(a)the asset in question, so far as it has not come to be represented by an asset falling within paragraph (b) below, or
(b)any such asset as falls to be treated for the purposes of that Act as the same as that asset.
(3)The amount of any chargeable gain or allowable loss which would have been treated as accruing to the relevant company on the assumption—
(a)that it had made a disposal of the asset on 31st March 1996, and
(b)(so far as relevant for the purpose of computing the amount of that gain or loss) that the disposal had been for a consideration equal to the market value of the asset,
shall be brought into account (subject to the following provisions of this paragraph and to paragraph 9 below) as one accruing to the company (“the chargeable company”) which makes the disposal constituting the relevant event, and shall be so brought into account in the accounting period in which that event occurs.
(4)The amount of the deemed chargeable gain or deemed allowable loss falling to be brought into account in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) above shall be treated as reduced by the extent (if any) to which it is, in relation to the company, an amount that already has been, or falls to be, taken into account for the purposes of corporation tax by virtue of the use of any accruals or mark to market basis of accounting—
(a)for those purposes;
(b)as respects times before 1st April 1996; and
(c)in relation to the asset in question.
(5)To the extent that any deemed chargeable gain or deemed allowable loss falling to be brought into account under sub-paragraph (3) above includes any gain or loss deemed to accrue under section 116(10)(b) of the 1992 Act (qualifying corporate bonds acquired in a reorganisation etc.), that gain or loss shall be deemed to have accrued for the purposes of that sub-paragraph and (without prejudice to its being brought into account in accordance with that sub-paragraph) shall not be taken to accrue again on the occurrence of the relevant event or any subsequent disposal of any asset.
[F394(5A)In any case where the relevant event has not occurred before 14th November 1996, the deemed chargeable gain or deemed allowable loss falling to be brought into account in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) above shall be computed without any account being taken of the provisions of section 119(6) and (7) of the 1992 Act (transfer of securities with or without accrued interest).]
(6)In any case where—
(a)the relevant company is one which at any time before 1st April 1996 was not resident in the United Kingdom,
(b)the asset was held by the relevant company at such a time, and
(c)if the asset had been disposed of at that time and a gain had accrued to the relevant company on that disposal, it would not have been included in the company’s chargeable profits by virtue of section [F39510B] of the 1992 Act (gain [F396attributable to a permanent establishment] of a non-resident company),
the relevant company shall be deemed for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) above to have acquired the asset, at market value, on the first day on which any relevant gain would have been included in the company’s chargeable profits for the purposes of corporation tax (whether because it is a day on which the company became resident, or the asset became situated, in the United Kingdom or for any other reason).
(7)In sub-paragraph (6) above the reference, in relation to a company, to a relevant gain is a reference to any gain which would have accrued to the company on the following assumptions, that is to say—
(a)that the relevant company disposed of the asset on the day in question;
(b)that that disposal gave rise to a gain; and
(c)that any allowable losses which might have been available for deduction under section 8(1) of, or Schedule 7A to, the 1992 Act were to be disregarded.
(8)In any case where the company acquired the asset on a disposal on which, by virtue of any enactment specified in section 35(3)(d) of the 1992 Act, neither a gain nor a loss accrued to the person making the disposal, the reference in sub-paragraph (6) or (7) above to the relevant company includes—
(a)a reference to the company from which it acquired the asset; and
(b)if that company also acquired the asset on such a disposal, a reference to the company from which the asset was acquired by that company, and so on through any number of such disposals.
(9)In any case where section 176 of the 1992 Act (depreciatory transactions within a group) would have applied in relation to the disposal referred to in sub-paragraph (3) above if that disposal had actually taken place, that section shall apply for the calculation of any deemed allowable loss to be brought into account by virtue of that sub-paragraph.
(10)For the purposes of this paragraph a company that ceases to be within the charge to corporation tax shall be deemed to make a disposal of all its assets at their market value immediately before ceasing to be within that charge.
(11)In this section—
“market value” has the same meaning as in the 1992 Act; and
“relevant qualifying asset” has the same meaning as in paragraph 5 above.
