11(1)Where paragraph 10(4) (change of control of acquiring company as a result of exempt intra-group transfer) has effect to prevent the withdrawal of reconstruction or acquisition relief on a change of control of the acquiring company, but—
(a)a company holding shares in the acquiring company to which the exempt intra-group transfer related, or that are derived from shares to which that transfer related, ceases to be a member of the same group as the target company—
(i)before the end of the period of three years beginning with the effective date of the relevant transaction, or
(ii)in pursuance of or in connection with arrangements made before the end of that period,
and
(b)the acquiring company or a relevant associated company, at that time (“the relevant time”), holds a chargeable interest—
(i)that was transferred to the acquiring company by the relevant transaction, or
(ii)that is derived from an interest that was so transferred,
and that has not subsequently been transferred at market value by a chargeable transaction in relation to which reconstruction or acquisition relief was available but was not claimed,
reconstruction or acquisition relief in relation to the relevant transaction, or an appropriate proportion of it, is withdrawn and tax is chargeable in accordance with this paragraph.
(2)Where paragraph 10(5) (change of control of acquiring company as a result of a transfer to which share acquisition relief applies) has effect to prevent the withdrawal of reconstruction or acquisition relief on a change of control of the acquiring company, but—
(a)control of the other company mentioned in that provision changes—
(i)before the end of the period of three years beginning with the effective date of the relevant transaction, or
(ii)in pursuance of or in connection with arrangements made before the end of that period,
at a time when that company holds any shares transferred to it by the exempt transfer, or any shares derived from shares so transferred,
and
(b)the acquiring company or a relevant associated company, at that time (“the relevant time”), holds a chargeable interest—
(i)that was transferred to the acquiring company by the relevant transaction, or
(ii)that is derived from an interest that was so transferred,
and that has not subsequently been transferred at market value by a chargeable transaction in relation to which reconstruction or acquisition relief was available but was not claimed,
reconstruction or acquisition relief in relation to the relevant transaction, or an appropriate proportion of it, is withdrawn and tax is chargeable in accordance with this paragraph.
(3)The amount chargeable is the tax that would have been chargeable in respect of the relevant transaction but for reconstruction or acquisition relief if the chargeable consideration for that transaction had been an amount equal to the market value of the subject matter of the transaction or, as the case may be, an appropriate proportion of the tax that would have been so chargeable.
(4)In sub-paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) “an appropriate proportion” means an appropriate proportion having regard to the subject-matter of the relevant transaction and what is held at the relevant time by the acquiring company or, as the case may be, by that company and any relevant associated companies.
