(2)For the purposes of this Schedule, where a person exchanges a gilt-edged security for strips of that security, the person who receives the strips in the exchange shall be deemed to have paid, in respect of his acquisition of each strip, the amount which bears the same proportion to the market value of the security as is borne by the market value of the strip to the aggregate of the market values of all the strips received in exchange for the security.
(3)For the purposes of this Schedule, where strips are consolidated into a single gilt-edged security by being exchanged by any person for that security, each of the strips shall be deemed to have been redeemed at the time of the exchange by the payment to that person of the amount equal to its market value.
(4)A person who holds a strip on the 5th April in any year of assessment, and who (apart from this sub-paragraph) does not transfer or redeem it on that day, shall be deemed for the purposes of this Schedule—
(a)to have transferred that strip on that day;
(b)to have received in respect of that transfer an amount equal to the strip’s market value on that day; and
(c)to have re-acquired the strip on the next day on payment of an amount equal to the amount for which it is deemed to have been disposed of on the previous day;
and the deemed transfer and re-acquisition shall be assumed for the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2 above to be transactions in connection with which no relevant costs are incurred.
