(b)the rights attached to the asset include provision by virtue of which the company is or may become entitled to acquire (whether by conversion or exchange or otherwise) any shares in a company;
(c)the extent to which shares may be acquired under that provision is not determined using a cash value which is specified in that provision or which is or will be ascertainable by reference to the terms of that provision;
(d)the asset is not a relevant discounted security within the meaning of Schedule 13 to this Act;
(e)at the time when the asset came into existence there was a more than negligible likelihood that the right to acquire shares in a company would in due course be exercised to a significant extent; and
(f)the asset is not one the disposal of which by the company would fall to be treated as a disposal in the course of activities forming an integral part of a trade carried on by the company.
(2)The amounts falling for any accounting period to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of a creditor relationship represented by an asset to which this section applies shall be confined to amounts relating to interest.
(3)Only an authorised accruals basis of accounting shall be used for ascertaining those amounts.
(4)Amounts shall be brought into account in computing the profits of the company for the purposes of corporation tax as if the M1Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 had effect in relation to any asset to which this section applies as it has effect in relation to an asset that does not represent a loan relationship.
(5)For the purposes of that Act the amount or value of the consideration for any disposal or acquisition of the asset shall be treated as adjusted so as to exclude so much of it as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, relates to any interest which—
(a)falls to be brought into account under subsections (2) and (3) above as accruing to any company at any time; and
(b)in consequence of, or of the terms of, the disposal or acquisition, is not paid or payable to the company to which it is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as accruing.
(6)In subsection (5) above the references to a disposal, in relation to an asset, are references to anything which—
(a)is a disposal of that asset (within the meaning of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992); or
(b)would be such a disposal but for section 127 or 116(10) of that Act (reorganisations etc.);
and the references to the acquisition of an asset shall be construed accordingly.
[F1(7)Where an asset representing a creditor relationship of a company—
(a)ceases at any time to be an asset to which this section applies, but
(b)does not cease at that time to represent a creditor relationship of that company,
the company shall be deemed for the purposes of the M2Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 and this Chapter to have disposed of the asset immediately before that time for the relevant consideration, and to have re-acquired it immediately after that time for the relevant consideration.
(8)Any deemed disposal and re-acquisition under subsection (7) above shall be treated for the purposes of that Act of 1992 as a transaction in the case of which—

(c)the market value of the asset at the time of the transaction is an amount equal to the relevant consideration.
(9)Subject to subsection (10) below, in subsections (7) and (8) above “the relevant consideration”, in relation to an asset, means the amount that would have been taken, in accordance with the relevant accounting method, to be the value of the asset at the time of its deemed disposal if that method had been applied to the asset for tax purposes at all times until then.
(10)Subsection (5) above shall not apply in the case of a deemed disposal and re-acquisition under subsection (7) above; but the amount of the relevant consideration in such a case shall be treated for the purposes of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 as reduced by so much (if any) of the amount mentioned in subsection (9) above as is referable to interest which—
(a)is not paid or payable to the company before the time of the deemed disposal; but
(b)is interest falling to be brought into account under subsections (2) and (3) above as having accrued before that time.
(11)In subsection (9) above “the relevant accounting method”, in relation to an asset representing a creditor relationship of a company, means the accounting method which, for the accounting period of that company in which the deemed re-acquisition takes place, is used as respects that asset and the part of that accounting period beginning with the deemed re-acquisition.]

(1)This section applies in the case of any loan relationship of a company that is linked to the value of chargeable assets unless it is one the disposal of which by the company would fall to be treated as a disposal in the course of activities forming an integral part of a trade carried on by the company.
(2)The amounts falling for any accounting period to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of the relationship shall be confined to amounts relating to interest.
(3)Only an authorised accruals basis of accounting shall be used for ascertaining those amounts.
(4)Amounts shall be brought into account in computing the profits of the company for the purposes of corporation tax as if the M3Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 had effect in relation to the asset representing the relationship as it has effect in relation to an asset that does not represent a loan relationship.
(5)For the purposes of that Act the amount or value of the consideration for any disposal or acquisition of the asset shall be treated as adjusted so as to exclude so much of it as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, relates to any interest which—
(a)falls to be brought into account under subsections (2) and (3) above as accruing to any company at any time; and
(b)in consequence of, or of the terms of, the disposal or acquisition, is not paid or payable to the company to which it is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as accruing.
(6)For the purposes of this section a loan relationship is linked to the value of chargeable assets if, in pursuance of any provision having effect for the purposes of that relationship, the amount that must be paid to discharge the money debt (whether on redemption of a security issued in relation to that debt or otherwise) is equal to the amount determined by applying a relevant percentage change in the value of chargeable assets to the amount falling for the purposes of this Chapter to be regarded as the amount of the original loan from which the money debt arises.
(7)In subsection (6) above the reference to a relevant percentage change in the value of chargeable assets is a reference to the amount of the percentage change (if any) over the relevant period in the value of chargeable assets of any particular description or in any index of the value of any such assets.
(8)In subsection (7) above “the relevant period” means—
(a)the period between the time of the original loan and the discharge of the money debt; or
(b)any other period in which almost all of that period is comprised and which differs from that period exclusively for purposes connected with giving effect to a valuation in relation to rights or liabilities under the loan relationship.
(9)If—
(a)there is a provision which, in the case of any loan relationship, falls within subsection (6) above,
(b)that provision is made subject to any other provision applying to the determination of the amount payable to discharge the money debt,
(c)that other provision is to the effect only that the amount so payable must not be less than a specified percentage of the amount falling for the purposes of this Chapter to be regarded as the amount of the original loan, and
(d)the specified percentage is not more than 10 per cent.,
that other provision shall be disregarded in determining for the purposes of this section whether the relationship is linked to the value of chargeable assets.
(10)For the purposes of this section an asset is a chargeable asset, in relation to a loan relationship of a company, if any gain accruing on the disposal of the asset by the company on or after 1st April 1996 would, on the assumptions specified in subsection (11) below, be a chargeable gain for the purposes of the M4Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.
(11)Those assumptions are—
(a)where it is not otherwise the case, that the asset is an asset of the company;
(b)that the asset is not one the disposal of which by the company would fall to be treated for the purposes of corporation tax as a disposal in the course of a trade carried on by the company; and
(c)that chargeable gains that might accrue under section 116(10) of that Act (postponed charges) are to be disregarded.
(12)In subsection (5) above references to a disposal, in relation to an asset, are references to anything which—
(a)is a disposal of that asset (within the meaning of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992); or
(b)would be such a disposal but for section 127 or 116(10) of that Act (reorganisations etc.);
and the references to the acquisition of an asset shall be construed accordingly.
(13)For the purposes of this section neither—
(a)the retail prices index, nor
(b)any similar general index of prices published by the government of any territory or by the agent of any such government,
shall be taken to be an index of the value of chargeable assets.

(1)This section applies to a loan relationship which is a creditor relationship of a company if—
(a)that loan relationship and one or more other transactions are associated transactions designed to produce a guaranteed return;
(b)any such other transaction is a disposal of futures or options; and
(c)the guaranteed return comprises the return consisting of the amount that must be paid to discharge the money debt arising in connection with that loan relationship taken together with the return from any one or more of the disposals of futures or options.
(2)For the purposes of this section a loan relationship of a company and one or more disposals of futures or options are transactions designed to produce a guaranteed return if, taking the transactions together, it would be reasonable to assume, from considering—
(a)the likely effect of the transactions,
(b)the circumstances in which the transactions are entered into, or in which any of them is entered into, or
(c)the matters in both of paragraphs (a) and (b),
that the main purpose of the transactions, or one of their main purposes, is or was the production of a guaranteed return from the loan relationship and any one or more of the disposals.
(3)For the purposes of this section a guaranteed return is produced from the loan relationship and any one or more of the disposals of futures or options wherever (taking all the transactions together) risks from fluctuations in the underlying subject matter are so eliminated or reduced as to produce a return from the transactions—
(a)the amount of which is not, to any significant extent, attributable (otherwise than incidentally) to any such fluctuations; and
(b)which equates, in substance, to the return on an investment of money at interest.
(4)For the purposes of subsection (3) above the cases where risks from fluctuations in the underlying subject matter are eliminated or reduced shall be deemed to include any case where the main reason, or one of the main reasons, for the choice of that subject matter is—
(a)that there appears to be no risk that that subject matter will fluctuate; or
(b)that the risk that it will fluctuate appears to be insignificant.
(5)In this section—
(a)the references, in relation to a loan relationship, to the underlying subject matter are references to the value of chargeable assets of a particular description to which that relationship is linked;
(b)the references, in relation to a disposal of futures or options, to the underlying subject matter are references to or to the value of the commodities, currencies, shares, stock or securities, interest rates, indices or other matters to which, or to the value of which, those futures or options are referable.
(6)Subsection (5)(a) above is to be construed in accordance with section 93 above.
(7)For the purposes of this section—
(a)references to the disposal of futures or options are to be construed in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 4A of Schedule 5AA to the Taxes Act 1988;
(b)references to the return from one or more disposals of futures or options are to be construed in accordance with paragraph 5 of that Schedule; and
(c)references to associated transactions are to be construed in accordance with paragraph 6 of that Schedule.]

(5)Section 93(5) above shall not apply in the case of a deemed disposal and re-acquisition under subsection (2) above; but the amount of the relevant consideration in such a case shall be treated for the purposes of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 as reduced by so much (if any) of the amount mentioned in subsection (4) above as is referable to interest which—
(a)is not paid or payable to the company before the time of the deemed disposal; but
(b)is interest falling to be brought into account under section 93(2) and (3) above as having accrued before that time.

(1)In the case of any loan relationship represented by an index-linked gilt-edged security, the adjustment for which this section provides shall be made in computing the credits and debits which fall, for any accounting period, to be brought into account for the purposes of this Chapter in respect of that relationship as non-trading credits or non-trading debits.
(2)The adjustment shall be made wherever—
(a)the authorised accounting method applied as respects the index-linked gilt-edged security gives credits or debits by reference to the value of the security at two different times, and
(b)there is any change in the retail prices index between those times.
(3)Subject to subsection (4) below, the adjustment is such an adjustment of the amount which would otherwise be taken for the purposes of that accounting method to be the value of the security at the earlier time (“the opening value”) as results in the amount in fact so taken being equal to the opening value increased or, as the case may be, reduced by the same percentage as the percentage increase or reduction in the retail prices index between the earlier and the later time.
(4)The Treasury may, in relation to any description of index-linked gilt-edged securities, by order provide that—
(a)there are to be no adjustments under this section; or
(b)that an adjustment specified in the order (instead of the adjustment specified in subsection (3) above) is to be the adjustment for which this section provides.
