Part 8Supplementary and general
I147Identification of securities or shares on a disposal
1
In any case where—
a
the investor disposes of part of a holding of securities or shares (“the holding”), and
b
the holding includes securities or shares to which relief is attributable in respect of one or more tax years or accounting periods that have been held continuously by the investor from the time they were issued until the disposal,
this paragraph applies for the purpose of identifying the securities or shares disposed of.
2
For the purposes of this paragraph “holding” means—
a
any number of securities of a company carrying the same rights and issued under the same terms held by the investor in the same capacity, growing or diminishing as securities carrying those rights and issued under those terms are acquired or disposed of, or
b
any number of shares in a company of the same class held by the investor in the same capacity, growing or diminishing as shares of that class are acquired or disposed of.
3
Where securities or shares included in the holding have been acquired by the investor on different days, then, for the purposes of capital gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains and of this Schedule, any disposal by the investor of any of those securities or shares shall be treated as relating to those acquired on an earlier day rather than to those acquired on a later day.
4
Where securities or shares included in the holding have been acquired by the investor on the same day, then, for the purposes of capital gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains and of this Schedule, if there is a disposal by the investor of any of those securities or shares, any securities or shares—
a
to which relief is attributable, and
b
which have been held by the investor continuously from the time they were issued until the time of disposal,
shall be treated as disposed of after any other securities or shares included in the holding which were acquired by the investor on that day.
5
Chapter 1 of Part 4 of the 1992 Act (share pooling, etc) shall have effect subject to this paragraph.
6
Sections 104 to 107 of that Act (which make provision for the purposes of capital gains tax and corporation tax on chargeable gains for the identification of securities and shares on a disposal) shall not apply to securities or shares to which relief is attributable.
7
In a case to which section 127 of that Act (equation of original shares and new holding) applies, shares comprised in the new holding shall be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) as acquired when the original shares were acquired.
8
In sub-paragraph (7)—
a
the reference to section 127 includes a reference to that section as it is applied by virtue of any enactment relating to chargeable gains, and
b
“original shares” and “new holding” have the same meaning as in section 127 or (as the case may be) that section as applied by virtue of the enactment in question.
