Asset ceasing to be chargeable intangible asset: deemed realisation at market value

108 (1) Where an asset ceases to be a chargeable intangible asset in relation to a company—

(a) on the company ceasing to be resident in the United Kingdom, or

(b) in the case of a company that is not resident in the United Kingdom, in any circumstances not involving the realisation of the asset by the company, or

(c) on the asset beginning to be held for the purposes of a mutual trade or business,

this Schedule has effect as if the company had, immediately before the asset ceased to be a chargeable intangible asset in relation to it, realised the asset for its market value at that time and immediately reacquired it at that value.

(2) Sub-paragraph (1) has effect subject to paragraph 109 (postponement of gain in certain cases).
