47(1)This paragraph applies to a relevant contract of a company—
(a)which is an option or future,
(b)which satisfies the requirements of paragraph 3 (accounting requirements etc), and
(c)whose underlying subject matter falls within sub-paragraph (2).
(2)The underlying subject matter of the relevant contract falls within this sub-paragraph if it consists, or is treated as consisting, wholly of—
(a)any one or more of the excluded types of property falling within paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 4, and
(b)any one or more of the excluded types of property falling within paragraphs (d) to (f) of that sub-paragraph.
(3)Where this paragraph applies to a relevant contract of a company, it shall be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts as if it were two separate contracts, namely—
(a)a relevant contract of the company whose underlying subject matter consists of the excluded types of property referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(a), and
(b)a relevant contract of the company whose underlying subject matter consists of the excluded types of property referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(b).
(4)For the purposes of giving effect to sub-paragraph (3) all such apportionments as are just and reasonable shall be made.
(5)Paragraph 9 applies for the purpose of determining whether the underlying subject matter of a relevant contract is to be treated as consisting wholly of the excluded types of property referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of sub-paragraph (2).
(6)If a relevant contract of a company is one to which this paragraph applies in consequence of the application of paragraph 9 (as described in sub-paragraph (5)), any underlying subject matter of the contract which is subordinate or of small value and which is disregarded in accordance with that paragraph shall be apportioned in accordance with sub-paragraph (4).
But if and so far as the underlying subject matter of a relevant contract is disregarded in accordance with paragraph 9 by reason of being subordinate in relation to such property as is referred to in paragraph (a) or, as the case may be, paragraph (b) of sub-paragraph (3), it shall be apportioned accordingly.
(7)This paragraph does not apply to a relevant contract if it is determined in accordance with paragraph 9 that the underlying subject matter of the relevant contract in question is to be treated as consisting wholly of—
(a)any one or more of the excluded types of property falling within paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 4, or
(b)any one or more of the excluded types of property falling within paragraphs (d) to (f) of that sub-paragraph.
