(i) the proceeds of sale, if the asset is sold,

(ii) any insurance proceeds, compensation or similar sums in respect of the asset,

(iii) an estimate of the market value of the asset, and

(a) the amount disallowed, or

(b) if less, the amount by which the rental rebate exceeds the amount of capital expenditure incurred by the lessor,

(1) This section applies if the tenant under the taxed lease has become entitled, in respect of expenditure on the acquisition of an interest in the land subject to the taxed lease, to an allowance for a tax year under Part 5 of CAA 2001 (mineral extraction allowances) in respect of expenditure falling within section 403 of that Act (qualifying expenditure on acquiring a mineral asset).

(2) If the allowance is in respect of the whole of the expenditure, no deduction is allowed for expenses under section 61 for a qualifying day falling within that or a later tax year.

(3) If the allowance is in respect of only part of the expenditure (“the allowable part”) the amount of the deduction for expenses under section 61 for a qualifying day falling within that or a later tax year is calculated by multiplying the amount that, apart from this section, would be the amount of the deduction for the qualifying day by—

In this section and sections 65 and 67 the receipt that is so reduced is referred to as a “lease premium receipt”.]

(2) Subsections (3) to (5) provide for the application of section 61 as a result of section 63 for a qualifying day that falls within the receipt period of the lease premium receipt.

(4) If the condition in subsection (3) is met, the amount of that expense for the qualifying day by reference to the taxed receipt is equal to that excess.

(5) If the qualifying day falls within the receipt period of more than one lease premium receipt, the reference in subsection (3) to the daily reduction of the lease premium receipt is to be read as a reference to the total of the daily reductions of each of the lease premium receipts whose receipt period includes the qualifying day.

• the “daily amount” of the taxed receipt is given by the formula—

  

  where—

  A is the unreduced amount of the taxed receipt, and

  TRP is the number of days in the receipt period of the taxed receipt, and

  RRP is the number of days in the receipt period of the lease premium receipt.

(b) “herd” includes a flock and any other collection of animals (however named), and

(c) “production herd” means, in relation to a farmer, a herd of animals of the same species (irrespective of breed) kept by the farmer wholly or mainly for the products obtainable from the living animal which the animals produce for the farmer to sell.

(2) For this purpose “the products obtainable from the living animal” means—

(a) the young of the animal, or

(b) any other product obtainable from the animal without slaughtering it.

(3) For the purposes of this Chapter the general rule is that immature animals kept in a production herd are not part of the herd.

(4) There is an exception to this rule if—

(b) the immature animals in question are bred in the herd and are maintained in the herd for the purpose of replacing other animals, and

(c) it is necessary to maintain the immature animals for that purpose.

(5) In that case the immature animals are part of the herd for the purposes of this Chapter, but only so far as they are required to prevent a fall in the numbers of the herd.

(6) References in this Chapter to an animal being added to a herd include references to an immature animal that is not part of the herd reaching maturity.

(7) This Chapter applies—

(a) in relation to animals kept singly as it applies in relation to herds, and

(b) in relation to shares in animals as it applies in relation to animals themselves.

113 Other interpretative provisions U.K.

(1) This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.

(2) A production herd kept by a farmer is of the same class as another production herd only if—

(a) the animals kept in both herds are of the same species (irrespective of breed), and

(3) References to the sale of an animal include references to its death or destruction.

(4) References to the sale proceeds of an animal include references to—

(a) money received from an insurer because of the animal's death or destruction,

(b) compensation money received because of the animal's death or destruction, and

(5) Female animals become mature—

(a) in the case of laying birds, when they first lay, and

(b) in any other case, when they produce their first young.

(3) The person carrying on the trade must allocate to the relevant period so much of the expenditure as is just and reasonable (but see subsection (5)).

(4) In making this allocation regard must be had to the following—

(a) the amount of the expenditure which remains unallocated at the beginning of the period,

(b) the amount of the expenditure incurred in the period,

(c) the proportion which the estimated value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise) bears to the sum of the value so realised and the estimated remaining value at the end of the period, and

(d) the need to bring the whole of the expenditure into account over the time during which the value of the original master version is expected to be realised.

(5) The person carrying on the trade may also allocate to the relevant period a further amount, so long as the total amount allocated to the period does not exceed the value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise).

[F220 148D Lessor under long funding operating lease: periodic deduction U.K.

(1) This section applies if a person carrying on a trade is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease for the whole or part of a period of account.

(2) A deduction is allowed in calculating the profits of the person for the period of account for income tax purposes.

(3) The amount of the deduction is so much of the expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease as is attributable to the period of account.

(4) The expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease is—

(a) the starting value of the plant or machinery, less

(b) the amount which at the commencement of the term of the lease is expected to be its residual value (or, if section 148DB applies, would have been expected to be that value had that value been estimated at that time).

(5) The expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease that is attributable to the period of account is found by apportioning that reduction on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in the period of account.

(6) For the meaning of “starting value”, see—

(a) section 148DA (“starting value”: general), and

(b) section 148DB (“starting value” where plant or machinery originally unqualifying).

[F221 148DA “Starting value”: general U.K.

(1) This section is about the meaning of “starting value” in section 148D in relation to a long funding operating lease (“the section 148D lease”).

(2) But this section does not apply if the conditions in section 148DB(2) (“starting value” where plant or machinery originally unqualifying) are met.

(3) If the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the section 148D lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery (“cost”).

(4) If subsection (3) does not apply, the starting value depends on the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor.

(5) If that use was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the section 148D lease (“market value”).

(6) If that use was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the value at which the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other finance records of the lessor at the commencement of the term of the section 148D lease.

(7) If that use was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the starting value is the lower of cost and market value.

(8) For the meaning of “qualifying activity”, see section 148J(2).

148DB “Starting value” where plant or machinery originally unqualifying U.K.

(1) This section applies if the conditions in subsection (2) are met in relation to a long funding operating lease to which section 148D applies.

(2) The conditions are that—

(a) the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity,

(b) the plant or machinery is brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1 April 2006, and

(c) that qualifying activity is the leasing of the plant or machinery under the lease.

(3) For the purposes of section 148D the starting value is the lower of—

(a) first use market value, and

(b) first use amortised market value.

(4) “First use market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity.

(5) “First use amortised value” means the value that the plant or machinery would have at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity on the assumptions in subsection (6).

(6) The assumptions are that—

(a) the cost of acquiring the plant or machinery had been written off on a straight line basis over its remaining useful economic life, and

(b) any further capital expenditure incurred had been written off on a straight line basis over so much of its remaining economic life as remains at the time when the expenditure is incurred.

(7) For the meaning of “qualifying activity”, “remaining useful economic life” and writing off on a straight line basis, see section 148J(2), section 148J(4) (and section 70YI of CAA 2001 as applied by that section) and section 148J(3) respectively.]

[F222 148E Long funding operating lease: lessor's additional expenditure U.K.

(1) This section applies if in any period of account—

(a) a person carrying on a trade is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease,

(b) the person incurs capital expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery (the “additional expenditure”), and

(c) the additional expenditure is not reflected in the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement time (see subsection (7)).

(2) An additional deduction is allowed in calculating the profits of the person for income tax purposes for each period of account—

(a) which ends after the incurring of the additional expenditure, and

(b) in which the person is the lessor of the plant or machinery under the lease.

(3) The amount of the deduction is so much of the expected reduction in value of the additional expenditure (“the expected reduction”) as is attributable to the period of account.

(4) The expected reduction is the amount of the additional expenditure, less the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from that expenditure.

(5) For how to determine that remaining residual value, see—

(a) section 148EA (determination of remaining residual value resulting from lessor's first additional expenditure), and

(b) section 148EB (determination of remaining residual value resulting from lessor's further additional expenditure).

(6) The amount of the expected reduction attributable to the period of account is found by apportioning that reduction on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in the period of account.

(7) In this section “the commencement time” means—

(a) except where section 148DB applies, the commencement of the term of the lease, and

(b) if that section applies, the time when the plant or machinery is first brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of the qualifying activity.]

[F223 148EA Determination of remaining residual value resulting from lessor's first additional expenditure U.K.

(1) This section sets out how the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from the additional expenditure (“RRV”) is determined for the purposes of section 148E(4) if section 148E has not applied in relation to any previous additional expenditure incurred by the person in relation to the leased plant or machinery.

(2) RRV depends on whether—

(a) the amount (“ARV”) which is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery at the time when the additional expenditure is incurred, exceeds

(b) the amount (“CRV”) which at the commencement of the term of the lease is expected to be its residual value (or, if section 148DB applies, would have been expected to be that value had that value been estimated at that time).

(3) If ARV exceeds CRV, RRV is the part of the excess that is a result of the additional expenditure.

(4) Otherwise, RRV is nil.

(b) the sum of the amounts in subsection (3).

(3) Those amounts are—

(a) the amount which at the commencement of the term of the lease is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery (or, if section 148DB applies, would have been expected to be that value had that value been estimated at that time), and

(b) any amounts that were subtracted under section 148E(4) as the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from the previous additional expenditure.

(b) the basis period for the earlier tax year ends on the middle date, and

(c) the basis period for the following tax year (“the later tax year”) is that given by one of the provisions listed in subsection (2),

the basis period for the later tax year is determined as if the basis period for the earlier tax year had ended on the date to which accounts were actually drawn up in the earlier tax year.

Special rules if accounting date changes U.K.

214 When a change of accounting date occurs U.K.

(1) If there is a change from one accounting date (“the old accounting date”) to another accounting date (“the new accounting date”), the change of accounting date occurs—

(b) if earlier, in the first tax year in which accounts are not drawn up to the old accounting date.

(2) A change from a date determined under section 211 to an actual accounting date is taken to be a change from one accounting date to another, even if the two dates are the same.

(3) If, because of subsection (1)(b), a change of accounting date occurs in a tax year in which there is no actual accounting date, the date corresponding to the new accounting date is treated as the accounting date in that tax year for the purpose of determining—

219 The year after an ineffective change of accounting date U.K.

(1) This section applies to a tax year in which a person carries on a trade if—

(a) the tax year falls immediately after a tax year in which a change of accounting date occurs, and

(b) the basis period for the tax year in which the change occurs ends with the old accounting date.

(2) If the accounting date in the tax year is the new accounting date, a change of accounting date is treated as occurring in that tax year for the purposes of sections 216 to 220 (including this section).

(a) section 214, and

220 Deduction for overlap profit on change of accounting date U.K.

(1) This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a trade of a tax year if—

(a) a change of accounting date occurs in the tax year, and

(b) the basis period for the tax year is longer than 12 months.

(2) A deduction must be made for overlap profit.

(3) The amount of the deduction is calculated as follows.

Step 1

Add together the overlap profit arising in all overlap periods ending before the end of the tax year.

Step 2

Subtract from that any deductions made under this section for previous tax years.

The balance is “the remaining overlap profit”.

Step 3

Add together the number of days in all overlap periods ending before the end of the tax year.

Subtract from that the total number of days given by Step 5 on any previous occasions on which a deduction was made under this section.

The balance is “the number of days on which the remaining overlap profit arises”.

Step 4

Divide the remaining overlap profit by the number of days on which the remaining overlap profit arises.

The result of this step is “one day's worth of remaining overlap profit”.

Step 5

Subtract the number of days in the tax year from the number of days in the basis period.

The balance is “the number of days' worth of overlap profit that may be deducted on this occasion”.

Step 6

Multiply one day's worth of remaining overlap profit (see Step 4) by the number of days' worth of overlap profit that may be deducted on this occasion (see Step 5).

The result of this step is the amount of the deduction.

(4) The above steps are expressed in terms of numbers of days in periods, but the person carrying on the trade may use a different way of measuring the length of the periods concerned if—

(a) it is reasonable to do so, and

(b) the way of measuring the length of periods is used consistently for the purposes of the trade.

(5) If the accounting date in the tax year is 31st March or 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th April, the person carrying on the trade may treat the basis period for the tax year as ending on 5th April for the purpose of calculating the amount of the deduction.

(6) If a period used in calculating the amount of the deduction contains a 29th February and—

(a) the accounting date in the tax year is 5th April, or

(b) the basis period for the tax year is treated under subsection (5) as ending on 5th April,

the person carrying on the trade may ignore the 29th February for the purpose of calculating the amount of the deduction.

Chapter 16 U.K. Averaging profits of farmers and creative artists

221 Claim for averaging of fluctuating profits U.K.

(b) the taxpayer's profits from it (“the relevant profits”) fluctuate from one tax year to the next.

(2) [F294 For the purposes of section 222 (two-year averaging)] a trade, profession or vocation is a “qualifying trade, profession or vocation” if—

(b) it is the intensive rearing in the United Kingdom of livestock or fish on a commercial basis for the production of food for human consumption, or

(c) the taxpayer's profits from it are derived wholly or mainly from creative works.

[F295 (2A) For the purposes of section 222A (five-year averaging), a trade, profession or vocation is a “qualifying trade, profession or vocation” if it falls within subsection (2)(a) or (b).]

(a) literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or

(b) designs,

created by the taxpayer personally or, if the qualifying trade, profession or vocation is carried on in partnership, by one or more of the partners personally.

(4) For the purposes of this Chapter references to the relevant profits of a tax year are to profits before making any deduction for a loss made in any tax year.

(5) If the taxpayer makes a loss in the qualifying trade, profession or vocation in a tax year, the relevant profits of the tax year for the purposes of this Chapter are nil.

[F297 (6) For the purposes of this Chapter references to the relevant profits of a tax year are to profits after any adjustment made under Chapter 16ZA (compensation for compulsory slaughter of animals).]

225ZB Right to make claim U.K.

(1) The farmer may make a claim under this section.

(2) A claim may only be made in respect of the total compensation profit for a period of account.

(3) The total compensation profit for a period of account is the sum of the profits which the farmer makes for all the relevant animals slaughtered in that period.

(4) For the purposes of this Chapter the profit which the farmer makes for a relevant animal is—

(a) the amount by which the compensation for the animal exceeds its book value, or

(b) if the trade is carried on in partnership, the farmer’s share of that amount, determined in accordance with Part 9.

(5) Nothing in this section prevents a claim being made before the amount of the compensation has been finally determined.

225ZC Book value U.K.

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter the book value of an animal is the value shown in the accounts as the value of the animal at the start of the period of account in which it was slaughtered.

(2) If, for an animal, no value is shown in the accounts as that value, the book value is as follows—

(a) in the case of an animal which was born in the period of account in which it was slaughtered and did not become part of the trading stock in any other way, the book value is 75% of the compensation payable for it,

(b) in the case of an animal in relation to which section 172C (trading stock supplied by trader) or 172E (acquisitions not made in the course of trade) applies, the book value is the cost treated as incurred under section 172C(2) or 172E(2) as the case may be, and

(c) in any other case, the book value is the cost of acquiring the animal for the purposes of the trade.

225ZD Effect of claim for spreading profits U.K.

(1) If the farmer makes a claim under section 225ZB in respect of the total compensation profit for a period of account (“period X”), the profits of the trade carried on by the farmer are to be adjusted for income tax purposes as follows—

• Step 1

  Treat the compensation payable for all of the relevant animals slaughtered in period X as a receipt of that period (regardless of when the compensation is finally determined or paid).

• Step 2

  If the farmer makes a profit in the trade in Year 1, deduct from the profits of Year 1 an amount equal to—

  (a)

  the total compensation profit for period X, or

  (b)

  if the total compensation profit exceeds the profits of Year 1, such portion of the total compensation profit as will reduce the profits to nil.

  • “Year 1” is—

    (a)

    the tax year whose basis period includes the whole or a part of period X, or

    (b)

    if there is more than one, the earliest of those tax years.

• Step 3

  If—

  (a)

  there is more than one tax year whose basis period includes the whole or a part of period X,

  (b)

  either—

  (i)

  the farmer did not make a profit in the trade in Year 1, or

  (ii)

  by virtue of step 2, a portion only of the total compensation profit for period X is deducted from the profits of Year 1, and

  (c)

  the farmer makes a profit in the trade in the next tax year (“Year 2”),

  deduct from the profits of Year 2 the applicable amount.

  In a case where the farmer did not make a profit in Year 1, “the applicable amount” is—

  (a)

  the total compensation profit for period X, or

  (b)

  if the total compensation profit exceeds the profits of Year 2, such portion of the total compensation profit as will reduce the profits to nil.

  In a case where a portion only of the total compensation profit for period X is deducted from the profits of Year 1, “the applicable amount” is—

  (a)

  an amount equal to the difference between the total compensation profit for period X and the portion so deducted, or

  (b)

  if that amount exceeds the profits of Year 2, such portion of that amount as will reduce the profits to nil.

  No further deduction is to be made in respect of the total compensation profit for period X from the profits of any later tax year whose basis period includes a part of that period.

• Step 4

  Include in the profits of each of the 3 consecutive tax years following Year 1 an amount equal to one third of the total amount deducted by virtue of steps 2 and 3.

(2) Nothing in this section affects the calculation of overlap profit (within the meaning of Chapter 15 of this Part).

225ZE Adjustment: cessation of trading U.K.

If the farmer permanently ceases to carry on the farming trade before the end of the second of the 3 consecutive tax years following Year 1, step 4 in section 225ZD(1) is to be replaced by the following two steps—

• Step 4

  Divide the total amount deducted by virtue of steps 2 and 3 by the number of tax years (“the remaining tax years”) in which, or in any part of which, the farmer carried on the farming trade, starting with Year 1.

• Step 5

  Include in the profits of each of the remaining tax years the amount resulting from the division in step 4.

225ZF Time limits etc for spreading claim U.K.

(1) A claim under section 225ZB must be made on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for Year 1.

(2) If the profits of a tax year are to be adjusted or further adjusted in accordance with this Chapter after an assessment for that tax year has become final and conclusive, any assessment or repayment or discharge of tax that is necessary to give effect to this Chapter must be made.

(3) But repayment or discharge of tax is due only if a claim for it is made.

225ZG Interpretation U.K.

In this Chapter—

• “animal” means any animal or other living creature;

• “farming trade” means a trade of farming;

• “the farmer”, in relation to a farming trade, means the individual who (alone or in partnership) carries on that trade;

• “total compensation profit” has the meaning given by section 225ZB.]

Nothing in this Chapter applies in calculating the profits of a trade on the cash basis.]

Basic definitions U.K.

225A Meaning of “oil extraction activities” U.K.

(1) In this Chapter “oil extraction activities” means activities within any of subsections (2) to (5) (but see also section 225M(6)).

(2) Activities of a person in searching for oil in the United Kingdom or a designated area or causing such searching to be carried out for that person.

(3) Activities of a person in extracting, or causing to be extracted for that person, oil at any place in the United Kingdom or a designated area under rights which—

(a) authorise the extraction, and

(b) are held by that person.

(4) Activities of a person in transporting, or causing to be transported for that person, oil extracted at any such place not on dry land under rights which—

(a) authorise the extraction, and

(b) are held by that person,

if the transportation meets condition A or B (see subsections (6) and (7)).

(5) Activities of a person in effecting, or causing to be effected for that person, the initial treatment or initial storage of oil won from any oil field under rights which—

(a) authorise its extraction, and

(b) are held by that person.

(6) Condition A is that the transportation is to the place where the oil is first landed in the United Kingdom.

(7) Condition B is that the transportation—

(a) is to the place in the United Kingdom, or

(b) in the case of oil first landed in another country, is to the place in that or any other country (other than the United Kingdom),

at which the seller in a sale at arm's length could reasonably be expected to deliver it (or, if there is more than one such place, the one nearest to the place of extraction).

(8) The definition of “initial storage” in section 12(1) of OTA 1975 applies for the purposes of this section.

(9) But in its application for those purposes in relation to the person mentioned in subsection (5) and to oil won from any one oil field, that definition is to have effect as if the reference to the maximum daily production rate of oil for the field mentioned in that definition were to a share of that maximum daily production rate proportionate to that person's share of the oil won from that field.

(10) In this section “initial treatment” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (see section 12(1) of that Act).

230 Person liable U.K.

The person liable for any tax charged under this Chapter is the person receiving or entitled to the adjustment income.

231 Calculation of the adjustment U.K.

The amount of the adjustment is calculated as follows. Step 1

Add together any amounts representing the extent to which, comparing the two bases, profits were understated (or losses overstated) on the old basis.

The amounts are—

	Amounts
1	Receipts which on the new basis would have been brought into account in calculating the profits of a period of account before the change, so far as they were not so brought into account.
2	Expenses which on the new basis fall to be brought into account in calculating the profits of a period of account after the change, so far as they were brought into account in calculating the profits of a period of account before the change.
3	Deductions in respect of opening trading stock or opening work in progress in the first period of account on the new basis, so far as they— (a)  are not matched by credits in respect of closing trading stock or closing work in progress in the last period of account before the change, or (b)  are calculated on a different basis that if used to calculate those credits would have given a higher figure.
4	Amounts recognised for accounting purposes in respect of depreciation in the last period of account before the change, so far as they were not the subject of an adjustment for income tax purposes, where such an adjustment would be required on the new basis.

Step 2

Then deduct any amounts representing the extent to which, comparing the two bases, profits were overstated (or losses understated) on the old basis.

The amounts are—

	Amounts
1	Receipts which were brought into account in a period of account before the change, so far as they would not have been so brought into account if the profits had been calculated on the new basis.
2	Expenses which were not brought into account in calculating the profits of a period of account before the change, so far as they— (a)  would have been brought into account for a period of account before the change if the profits had been calculated on the new basis, and (b)  would have been brought into account for a period of account after the change if the profits had continued to be calculated on the old basis.
3	Credits in respect of closing trading stock or closing work in progress in the last period of account before the change, so far as they— (a)  are not matched by deductions in respect of opening trading stock or opening work in progress in the first period of account on the new basis, or (b)  are calculated on a different basis that if used to calculate those deductions would have given a lower figure.

An amount so deducted may not be deducted again in calculating the profits of a period of account.

Treatment of adjustment income and adjustment expense U.K.

232 Treatment of adjustment income U.K.

(1) Adjustment income is treated as arising on the last day of the first period of account for which the new basis is adopted.

(3) Adjustment income is treated for the purposes of [F338 Part 4 of ITA 2007](loss relief) as profits of the trade for the tax year in which tax is charged on it.

(4) In the case of an individual whose income from [F339 the trade is relevant UK earnings within section 189(2)(b) of FA 2004, adjustment income is similarly relevant UK earnings.]

(3) If the amount of the relevant expenditure that the person has actually paid is less than the amount of capital allowances given in respect of the relevant expenditure, the difference is to be treated as a receipt in calculating the profits of the trade for the tax year.

(4) The amount of any capital allowance obtained in respect of expenditure on the provision of any plant or machinery is to be determined on such basis as is just and reasonable in all the circumstances.

(5) If the amount of capital allowances given in respect of the relevant expenditure has been reduced under section 205 or 207 of CAA 2001 (reduction where asset provided or used only partly for qualifying activity), the amount of the relevant expenditure that the person has actually paid is to be proportionately reduced for the purposes of this section.

288 The additional calculation rule U.K.

(1) The rule in this section applies if the conditions mentioned in section 287 are met.

(3) This fraction is calculated on a just and reasonable basis.

(4) If the basic relieving amount given by section 288(4) or subsection (2) above by reference to a taxed receipt would otherwise exceed the unused amount of the taxed receipt, the basic relieving amount is the unused amount.

(5) If the amount of the reduction under section 288 would otherwise exceed the amount given, in respect of the receipt under calculation, by the formula in section 277, 279, 280, 281 or 282, the amount of the reduction is equal to the amount given by the formula.

431 Excluded occasions of redemption U.K.

(1) An occasion of redemption of a security other than maturity is ignored for the purposes of section 430(1) if the third-party option conditions or the commercial protection conditions are met.

(2) The third-party option conditions are that—

(a) the security may be redeemed on the occasion at the option of a person other than its holder,

(b) the security is issued to a person who is not connected with the issuer, and

(c) the obtaining of a tax advantage by any person is not the main benefit, or one of the main benefits, that might have been expected to accrue from the provision in accordance with which the security may be redeemed on the occasion.

(3) The commercial protection conditions are that—

(a) the security may be redeemed on the occasion as the result of an exercise of an option that is exercisable only on the occurrence of—

(i) an event adversely affecting the holder (see subsection (8)), or

(ii) a default by any person, and

(b) as at the time of the security's issue it appears unlikely that the option will be exercisable on the occasion.

(4) Subsection (1) does not apply to an occasion just because the occasion coincides or may coincide with an occasion meeting the third-party option conditions or the commercial protection conditions.

(5) If—

(a) the only reason that a security is not a deeply discounted security is that an occasion on which it may be redeemed is ignored because the third-party option conditions are met, and

(b) at some time after its issue the security is acquired by, or its holder becomes, a person connected with the issuer,

in relation to that time and later this Chapter applies as if the security were a deeply discounted security.

(6) If a person (“P”) who is not connected with the issuer acquires—

(a) a security which is only a deeply discounted security because it was issued to a person connected with the issuer and so fails to meet the condition specified in subsection (2)(b), or

(b) a security within subsection (5),

this Chapter applies in relation to P as if the security ceased to be a deeply discounted security on the acquisition.

(7) For the purposes of the application of this section to a security, the question whether persons are connected is determined without regard to the security or any other security issued under the same prospectus.

(8) In this section “event adversely affecting the holder”, in relation to a security, means an event the occurrence of which appears, as at the time of the security's issue, likely to have an adverse effect on the interests of its holder at the time of the event if there were no provision for redemption on its occurrence.

(1) The following are not deeply discounted securities—

(a) shares in a company,

(b) gilt-edged securities that are not strips,

(c) life assurance policies, and

(d) capital redemption policies.

(2) An excluded indexed security (see section 433) is only a deeply discounted security if treated as such under section 431(5) (acquisition by a person connected with the issuer or holder becoming such a person).

(3) In this section “capital redemption policies” has the same meaning as in Chapter 9 of this Part (see section 473(2)).

(4) See also sections 434 to 436 (rules under which securities issued under the same prospectus on separate occasions may be treated as being, or as not being, deeply discounted securities).

433 Meaning of “excluded indexed security” U.K.

(1) In this Chapter “excluded indexed security” means a security under the terms of which the amount payable on redemption is determined by applying to the amount for which the security was issued the percentage change (if any) over the security's redemption period in—

(a) the value of chargeable assets of a particular description, or

(b) an index of the value of such assets.

(2) The fact that the terms under which the security is issued include a provision to the effect that the amount payable on its redemption must be at least a specified percentage of the amount for which it was issued only prevents it from falling within the definition in subsection (1) if that percentage exceeds 10%.

(3) Interest payable on redemption is ignored in determining for the purposes of this section the amount payable on redemption.

(4) In subsection (1) “redemption period” means—

(a) the period beginning with the date of issue and ending with the date of redemption, or

(b) a period which is or includes almost all that period and only differs from it for purposes connected with giving effect to a valuation in relation to rights or liabilities under the security.

(5) An asset is a chargeable asset for the purposes of subsection (1) if a gain accruing to a person on its disposal would be a chargeable gain for the purposes of TCGA 1992 on the assumptions specified in subsection (6).

(6) The assumptions are that—

(a) the asset is an asset of the person,

(b) the person is not entitled to the exemption conferred by section 100 of TCGA 1992 (exemption for authorised unit trusts etc.),

(c) disposal of the asset by the person would not be treated for income tax purposes as a disposal in the course of a trade, profession or vocation, and

(d) section 116(10) of TCGA 1992 is ignored (chargeable gains on subsequent disposals of qualifying corporate bonds acquired in reorganisations, conversions and reconstructions).

(7) For the purposes of this section—

(a) neither the retail prices index nor any similar general index of prices published by the government of a territory or by an agent of such a government is an index of the value of chargeable assets, and

(b) “redemption”, in relation to a security, does not include its redemption on an occasion which is to be ignored under section 431(1) (excluded occasions of redemption).

434 Securities issued in separate tranches: preliminary U.K.

(1) Sections 435 and 436 set out rules under which securities issued under the same prospectus on separate occasions may be treated as being, or as not being, deeply discounted securities.

(2) If any of the securities in the original issue under the prospectus is a deeply discounted security—

(a) the rule in section 435 applies to securities in later issues under it, and

(b) the rule in section 436 does not apply to any securities issued under it.

(3) If none of the securities in the original issue under the prospectus is a deeply discounted security, the rule in section 435 applies to securities in a later issue except where the rule in section 436 applies.

435 Securities issued in separate tranches: basic rule U.K.

(1) The rule in this section is that if securities in any of the issues made on separate occasions under the same prospectus are not deeply discounted securities, securities in any later issue under it are not deeply discounted securities, unless they are treated as such for one of the reasons specified in subsection (2).

(2) The reasons are—

(a) that the securities were issued to a person connected with the issuer and so fail to meet the condition specified in section 431(2)(b), and

(b) that such a person has acquired or become the holder of the securities and so section 431(5) applies to them.

436 Deeply discounted securities issued in separate tranches: nominal value rule U.K.

(1) This section only applies if some of the securities in one or more later issues under the same prospectus are deeply discounted securities (or are such securities if the rule in section 435 is ignored).

(2) The rule in this section applies for any disposal or acquisition after the time when the condition specified in subsection (3) is first met.

(3) The condition is that the aggregate nominal value as at a particular time of the securities within subsection (1) exceeds the aggregate nominal value as at that time of all the other securities issued under the prospectus at any time.

(4) The rule is that all securities issued under the prospectus (including those issued after the time when the condition specified in subsection (3) is first met) are to be treated as deeply discounted securities and as having been acquired as such (whenever actually issued or acquired).

(5) Subsection (6) applies where the question is whether a security held by a person who is not connected with the issuer is a deeply discounted security as a result of the rule in this section.

(6) For the purpose of determining whether the rule in this section applies, securities that are only within subsection (1) for one of the reasons specified in section 435(2) are treated as not being within it.

C is the total of the market values of all the separate assets resulting from the conversion.

(2) If the converted corporate security is a deeply discounted security—

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, a gain from a policy or contract arises when a chargeable event occurs in relation to the policy or contract (see section 484).

(2) But certain chargeable events are only treated as occurring because a calculation required to be made as at a particular time shows that the gain has arisen.

(3) See, in particular—

(a) section 509(1) (under which a chargeable event is treated as occurring where a periodic calculation following a part surrender or assignment shows a gain),

(b) section 514(1) (under which a part surrender or assignment is treated as a chargeable event where a calculation related to it shows a gain), and

(1) This section applies for the purpose of determining if an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter.

(2) In relation to an event occurring on or after 6 April 2013, section 485 (disregard of certain events in relation to qualifying policies) does not apply in relation to a policy (“policy X”) which is a restricted relief qualifying policy (see paragraph A2 of Schedule 15 to ICTA).

(3) If an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter as a result of subsection (2), the gain on which the tax is charged in the case of the individual is reduced by the following amount—

where—

G is the amount of the gain (apart from this subsection),

TAP is the total amount of premiums payable under policy X during the policy X period so far as they are allowable premiums as determined in accordance with section 463B, and

TP is the total amount of premiums payable under policy X during the policy X period.

(4) If section 528 also applies in the case of the individual in relation to the gain, subsection (3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528 and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528 is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by subsection (3).

(5) The following subsections apply for the purposes of this section (except subsection (2)) and section 463B.

(6) “The policy X period” means the period for which policy X has run before the chargeable event occurs.

(7) Subsections (8) and (9) apply if policy X is a new policy in relation to another policy.

(8) For the purposes of subsection (6) policy X is to be taken to have run—

(a) from the issue of the other policy, or

(b) if the other policy was also a new policy in relation to an earlier policy, from the issue of the earlier policy,

and so on.

(9) References to premiums payable under policy X are to be read as including references to premiums payable under any earlier policy taken into account under subsection (8).

(10) The following are to be left out of account in determining the premiums payable under a policy—

(a) so much of a premium as is charged on the grounds that an exceptional risk of death or disability is involved;

(b) subject to subsection (11), so much of the first premium payable the liability for the payment of which—

(i) is discharged in accordance with paragraph 15(2) of Schedule 15 to ICTA, or

(ii) in the case of a policy in relation to which paragraph 3 of that Schedule applies, is discharged under a provision of the policy falling within paragraph 3(4)(c) of that Schedule.

(11) The maximum amount that may be left out of account under subsection (10)(b) in the case of a policy is—

where N is the number of complete years for which ran—

a

the other policy involved, or

b

if there is more than one other policy involved, the policy which ran for the most number of complete years.

(12) In determining the premiums payable under a policy any provision for the waiver of premiums by reason of a person's disability is to be ignored.

(13) “New policy” has the meaning given in paragraph 17 of Schedule 15 to ICTA.

(15) A policy ceases to be “related” to policy X if it ceases to meet those requirements.

(16) If policy X is a restricted relief qualifying policy as provided for by paragraph A2(14) of Schedule 15 to ICTA, references in this section to policy X becoming a restricted relief qualifying policy are to be read as references to the policy determined under subsection (17) becoming a restricted relief qualifying policy.

(17) The policy is—

(a) the policy (“policy Y”) in relation to which policy X was the new policy, or

(b) if policy Y was also a restricted relief qualifying policy as provided for by paragraph A2(14) of Schedule 15 to ICTA, the policy in relation to which policy Y was the new policy,

and so on.

463C Restricted relief qualifying policies: personal representatives and trustees with deceased settlors U.K.

(1) This section applies for the purpose of determining if personal representatives are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as provided for by section 466.

(2) This section also applies for the purpose of determining if trustees are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as provided for by section 467 where—

(a) condition B in that section is met, and

(b) the person who created the trusts has died.

(3) In relation to an event occurring on or after 6 April 2013, section 485 (disregard of certain events in relation to qualifying policies) does not apply in relation to a policy if the policy is a restricted relief qualifying policy (see paragraph A2 of Schedule 15 to ICTA).

(4) If any personal representatives or trustees are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as a result of subsection (3), section 463A(3) is to apply in the case of the personal representatives or the trustees—

(a) as if the reference to the individual were to the personal representatives or to the trustees, and

(b) as if the restricted relief qualifying policy were policy X.

(5) For this purpose—

(a) in section 463B(12)(a) the reference to the individual is to be read as a reference to the deceased, and

(b) a policy—

(i) which would otherwise have ceased to be “related” to policy X for the purposes of section 463B on the deceased's death, but

(ii) which continues to run after the deceased's death,

is to be treated as “related” to policy X after the deceased's death.

(6) A policy which is a new policy (as defined in paragraph 17 of Schedule 15 to ICTA) in relation to a policy treated as “related” to policy X under subsection (5)(b) or this subsection is also to be treated as “related” to policy X if, apart from the deceased's death, it would meet the requirements of section 463B(12)(a) and (b) on its issue.

(7) A policy treated as “related” to policy X under subsection (5)(b) or (6) ceases to be so treated if, apart from the deceased's death, it would cease to meet the requirements of section 463B(12)(a) and (b).

(8) If section 528A also applies in the case of the personal representatives or the trustees in relation to the gain, section 463A(3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528A and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528A is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by section 463A(3).

(1) This section applies if—

(b) after the relevant event, the policy is not a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph A1(2), and

(c) in relation to an event occurring after the relevant event—

(i) an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter on a gain from the policy, and

(ii) but for the application of paragraph A1 in relation to the policy, section 463A(3) would have applied in the case of the individual so as to reduce the gain.

(2) Section 463A(3) is to apply in the case of the individual in relation to the gain as if the policy were policy X.

(3) But, for this purpose, section 463B(5) has effect as if the references to the policy X period were to the part of that period falling before the relevant event.

(4) If section 528 also applies in the case of the individual in relation to the gain, section 463A(3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528 and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528 is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by section 463A(3).

(b) the issue of policy Z is an event falling within paragraph A2(3) of Schedule 15 to ICTA by virtue of paragraph (e),

(e) after the variation, policy Z is not a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph A1(2) of that Schedule,

(f) in relation to an event occurring after the variation, an individual is liable for tax charged under this Chapter on a gain from policy Z, and

(g) but for the application of paragraph A1 of Schedule 15 in relation to policy Z, the individual would not have been liable because of section 485.

(2) The gain on which the tax is charged in the case of the individual is reduced by the following amount—

where—

G is the amount of the gain (apart from this subsection),

TPV is the total amount of premiums payable under policy Z before the variation, and

TP is the total amount of premiums payable under policy Z before the chargeable event.

(3) If section 528 also applies in the case of the individual in relation to the gain, subsection (2) is to be applied to the gain before section 528 and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528 is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by subsection (2).

505 Assignments etc. involving co-ownership U.K.

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter (except this section and section 506)—

(a) a transaction to which this section applies is taken to be one or more assignments of part only of the rights under the policy or contract in respect of which the transaction occurs, and

(b) those assignments are the ones specified in section 506.

(2) If subsection (1) applies to a transaction that is an assignment—

(a) of the whole of the rights under a policy or contract, or

(b) of a part of or a share in those rights,

any reference to the assignment in this Chapter (except this section and section 506) is to be read as a reference to the assignment or assignments that the transaction is taken to be under subsection (1).

(3) This section applies to a transaction in respect of which conditions A and B and either condition C or D or E are met.

(4) Condition A is that—

(a) immediately before the transaction the whole or part of, or a share in, the rights under the policy or contract (“the ownership interest”) was in the beneficial ownership of one person or of two or more persons jointly (“the old ownership”), and

(b) as a result of the transaction the ownership interest becomes beneficially owned by one person or by two or more persons jointly or in common (“the new ownership”).

(5) Condition B is that at least one person who is a member of the old ownership is also a member of the new ownership.

(6) Condition C is that there is only one member of the old ownership and there are two or more members of the new ownership.

(7) Condition D is that there are two or more members of the old ownership and at least one of them is not a member of the new ownership.

506 Assignments occurring when there is a co-ownership transaction U.K.

(1) This section sets out the assignment or assignments that are taken to occur under section 505 when there is a transaction to which that section applies (“a co-ownership transaction”).

(2) If there is only one member of the old ownership, that member is to be treated as if the co-ownership transaction had been the assignment by that member of so much of the ownership interest as exceeds that member's share in the ownership interest as a member of the new ownership.

(3) If there are two or more members of the old ownership, each such member who is not a member of the new ownership is to be treated as if the co-ownership transaction had been the assignment by that member of that member's share in the ownership interest.

(4) If there are two or more members of the old ownership, each such member whose share in the ownership interest as a member of the old ownership exceeds that member's share in the ownership interest as a member of the new ownership is to be treated as if the co-ownership transaction had been the assignment by that member of that excess.

(5) If the old ownership consists of two or more persons beneficially entitled jointly, the members of the old ownership are to be treated as if the ownership interest had been in their beneficial ownership in equal shares instead of jointly.

(6) If the new ownership consists of two or more persons beneficially entitled jointly, the members of the old ownership are to be treated as if the result of the co-ownership transaction had been that the ownership interest was in the beneficial ownership of the members of the new ownership in equal shares instead of jointly.

507 Method for making periodic calculations under section 498 U.K.

(1) This section deals with the calculation required to be made in relation to a policy or contract as at the end of an insurance year under section 498(2) (requirement for periodic calculations in part surrender and assignment cases) to determine—

(a) whether a gain has arisen, and

(b) if so, the amount of the gain.

(2) There is a gain if the net total value of rights surrendered or assigned exceeds the net total allowable payments (see subsections (4) and (5)).

(3) The gain is equal to the excess.

(4) To calculate the net total value of rights surrendered or assigned—

Step 1

Find—

(a)  the value, as at the time of its surrender or assignment, of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract which has been surrendered at any time or assigned at any time for money or money's worth, and

(b)  the value, as at the time of its assignment, of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract which has been assigned otherwise than for money or money's worth in an insurance year beginning on or before 5th April 2001,

in each case determining the value in accordance with section 508.

Step 2

Add together those values.

Step 3

If any previous calculation events (other than personal portfolio bond events) have occurred in relation to the policy or contract—

(a)  add together each such value which has been brought into account under this subsection on those events, and

(b)  subtract the result of paragraph (a) from the result of step 2.

(5) To calculate the net total allowable payments—

Step 1

Find the allowable element in each allowable payment by multiplying the amount of the payment by—

where X is the number of insurance years in the period beginning with the year in which the payment is made and ending with the insurance year as at the end of which the calculation under this section is required to be made or, if it is less, 20.

Step 2

Add together the allowable elements for all allowable payments.

Step 3

Add together all the allowable elements brought into account under this subsection on a previous calculation event.

Step 4

Subtract the result of step 3 from the result of step 2.

(6) In this section—

• “allowable payment” means a premium, other than a retained replacement policy premium, and

• “retained replacement policy premium” has the meaning given in section 495(2).

508 The value of rights partially surrendered or assigned U.K.

(1) For the purposes of sections 507, 511 and 512, where any part of or share in rights conferred by a policy or contract is surrendered, the value of the part of or share in the rights surrendered is the amount or value of the sum payable or other benefits arising because of the surrender, except where subsection (2) or (3) applies.

(2) In the case of a surrender within section 500(c) (loans by insurers to which section 501 applies), the value for those purposes is an amount equal to the loan.

(3) In the case of a surrender within section 500(d) (payments by insurers under guaranteed income bonds etc.), the value for those purposes is the amount to which section 504 applies.

(4) For the purposes of sections 507, 511 and 512, where any part of or share in rights conferred by a policy or contract is assigned, the value of the part or share as at the time of the assignment is its surrender value at that time.

(5) For the requirement to ignore certain benefits, see section 497 (disregard of trivial inducement benefits).

509 Chargeable events in certain cases where periodic calculations show gains U.K.

(1) If the calculation in section 507 shows that a gain has arisen as at the end of the insurance year, the gain is treated as arising on the occurrence of a chargeable event at the end of that year, unless condition A, B or C is met.

(2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 485(3) (which restricts the circumstances in which such events occur in relation to qualifying policies).

(3) Condition A is that during the insurance year there has been an assignment for money or money's worth of part of or a share in the rights conferred by the policy or contract.

(4) Condition B is that during the insurance year there has been both—

(a) a surrender of part of or a share in the rights conferred by the policy or contract, and

(b) a later assignment, otherwise than for money or money's worth, of the whole or part of or a share in the rights conferred by the policy or contract.

(5) Condition C is that the insurance year is the final insurance year.

(6) See section 510 (transaction-related calculations in certain part surrender and assignment cases) if one or both of conditions A and B are met.

Transaction-related calculations and part surrender or assignment events U.K.

510 Requirement for transaction-related calculations in certain part surrender and assignment cases U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(a) the calculation in section 507 shows that a gain has arisen as at the end of the insurance year, but

(b) one or both of the conditions specified in section 509(3) and (4) are met (and so no chargeable event is treated as occurring at the end of the year under section 509).

(2) A calculation is to be made in accordance with section 511 in relation to each relevant transaction during the insurance year to determine—

(a) whether the transaction resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, and

(b) if so, the amount of the gain.

(3) In this section and sections 511 to 514 “relevant transaction” means—

(a) a surrender of part of or a share in the rights under the policy or contract, or

(b) an assignment of such a part or share for money or money's worth.

(4) If two or more relevant transactions occurred during the insurance year, a calculation in accordance with section 511 is to be made in relation to each of them successively in the order in which they occurred.

(5) A calculation falling to be made in accordance with section 511 in relation to a relevant transaction occurring in the final insurance year is to be made before any calculation under section 491 for the chargeable event that ends that year.

(6) But, in the case of a relevant transaction so occurring, subsections (2) and (4) are subject to section 513(5) (under which those subsections do not apply to some such relevant transactions).

511 Method for making transaction-related calculations under section 510 U.K.

(1) This section deals with the calculation required to be made under section 510 to determine—

(a) whether a relevant transaction which has occurred during an insurance year resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, and

(b) if so, the amount of the gain.

(2) There is a gain if the transaction value for the relevant transaction (see subsection (4)) exceeds the amount of available premium left for the relevant transaction as calculated in accordance with section 512.

(3) The gain is equal to the excess.

(4) The transaction value for the relevant transaction is the value in accordance with section 508, as at the time of its surrender or assignment, of the part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract which has been surrendered or assigned in the transaction.

(5) Subsections (2) and (4) are subject to section 513(4) (under which the transaction value is to be reduced in certain cases where the relevant transaction occurs in the final insurance year).

512 Available premium left for relevant transaction U.K.

(1) For the purposes of section 511(2), the amount of available premium left for a relevant transaction is the amount, if any, by which the available net allowable payments (see subsection (3)) exceed the available net total values for the year (see subsection (4)).

(2) But the amount of available premium left for the relevant transaction is nil if—

(a) one or more other relevant transactions have occurred in respect of the relevant contract earlier in the insurance year, and

(b) for the latest of them the calculation in section 511(2) produced a gain.

(3) To calculate the available net allowable payments—

Step 1

Calculate the net total allowable payments as at the end of the insurance year in accordance with section 507(5).

Step 2

If—

(a)  one or more other relevant transactions (“the earlier transactions”) have occurred in respect of the policy or contract earlier in the insurance year, and

(b)  for the latest of them the calculation in section 511(2) produced no gain,

subtract the sum of the transaction values for the earlier transactions from the result of step 1.

(4) To calculate the available net total values for the year—

Step 1

Calculate the net total value of rights surrendered or assigned, as at the end of the insurance year, in accordance with section 507(4), ignoring for the purposes of step 3 in that section any relevant transactions in that year that are treated as chargeable events under section 514.

Step 2

Subtract from the result of step 1 the value, as at the time of its surrender or assignment, of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract which has been surrendered in the insurance year or assigned in that year for money or money's worth, determining the value in accordance with section 508.

513 Special rules for part surrenders and assignments in final insurance year U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(a) the calculation in section 511 falls to be made in relation to a relevant transaction occurring in the final insurance year,

(b) the total transaction value for that transaction exceeds the gains limit (see subsections (2) and (3)), and

(c) paragraph (b) has not applied to a relevant transaction occurring earlier in the final insurance year in respect of the policy or contract in question.

(2) The total transaction value is the total of—

(a) the transaction value for the transaction in question in accordance with section 511(4), and

(b) the transaction values for any relevant transactions occurring earlier in the final insurance year in respect of the policy or contract in accordance with that section.

(3) The gains limit is the amount calculated, as at the end of the final insurance year, as the amount of the gain that would have been treated as arising on the occurrence of the chargeable event that ends that year if in relation to that year—

(a) section 509(1) did not refer to condition C, and

(b) sections 510(2) and (4) and 514(1) did not apply.

(4) The transaction value for the relevant transaction used for the calculation in section 511(2) is reduced by the excess mentioned in subsection (1)(b).

(5) No calculations are required to be made under section 510(2) and (4) in relation to any subsequent relevant transaction in respect of the policy or contract.

514 Chargeable events where transaction-related calculations show gains U.K.

(1) If the calculation in section 511 shows that a relevant transaction resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, the relevant transaction is treated as a chargeable event.

(2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 485(5) (which restricts the circumstances in which such events occur in relation to qualifying policies).

(3) Subsection (4) applies if—

(a) a relevant transaction that is a chargeable event occurs in a different tax year from that in which the insurance year ends, and

(b) apart from subsection (4), a person would be liable to tax on the gain under this Chapter for the tax year in which the transaction occurs.

(4) The gain is charged to tax under this Chapter for the tax year in which the insurance year ends instead.

[F672 (4A) Subsection (3)(b) includes a case where a person would be liable to tax on the gain under section 465B for the tax year in which the transaction occurs (because the transaction occurs in the year of return, as defined in that section).]

(5) If the relevant transaction occurs in the final insurance year, the chargeable event within subsection (1) is treated as occurring before the chargeable event that ends that year.

Step 1

Find the annual equivalent of the amount of that gain (“the annual equivalent”) by dividing that amount by the number of complete years for which the policy or contract has run before the chargeable event (“N”).

See subsections (2) to (8) for further provisions about calculating N.

Step 2

Find the relieved liability on the annual equivalent by—

(a)  calculating the individual's liability (if any) to income tax on the annual equivalent, on the basis that—

•  (i) the gain from the chargeable event is limited to the amount of the annual equivalent, and

•  (ii) the highest part assumptions apply, and

(b)  subtracting the amount of income tax at the [F703 basic rate] on the annual equivalent which the individual is treated as having paid under section 530(1).

Step 3

Multiply the relieved liability on the annual equivalent by N.

(2) In the case of a calculation event that is not the first calculation event in relation to the policy or contract, for steps 1 and 3 in subsection (1) N is the number of complete years since the previous such event (but see subsection (6)).

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), part surrender or assignment events are taken to occur at the end of the insurance year in which the surrender or assignment occurs.

(4) If, in a case where subsection (2) does not apply, the gain is from a policy of life insurance which is a new policy in relation to another policy, for steps 1 and 3 N is calculated from—

(a) the issue of the other policy, or

(b) if it also was a new policy in relation to an earlier policy, the issue of the earlier policy,

and so on.

(5) In subsection (4) “new policy” has the meaning given in paragraph 17 of Schedule 15 to ICTA.

(3) The amount recovered must not exceed the total of—

(a) any sums received by the trustees because of the chargeable event, and

[F707 539 Relief for deficiencies U.K.

(1) An individual is entitled to a tax reduction for a tax year in which a deficiency arises from a policy or contract on a chargeable event if—

(a) the condition in subsection (2) is met,

(b) the individual would (apart from this section) be liable to income tax at [F708 “one or more of the higher rate, the Scottish higher rate or the dividend upper rate] for the tax year, and

(c) the individual makes a claim.

(2) The condition is that, if a gain had arisen instead on the chargeable event—

(a) the individual would have been liable to income tax on the gain for the year, or

(b) the individual would have been so liable apart from the requirement in section 465(1) that the individual must be UK resident in the tax year in which the gain arises.

(3) The tax reduction is given effect at Step 6 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007.

(4) See section 540 for the cases in which a deficiency is treated as arising from a policy or contract on a chargeable event, section 541 for how the deficiency is calculated and section 469(5) for the apportionment of deficiencies in cases where two or more persons are interested in a policy or contract.

(5) The amount of the tax reduction is calculated as follows. [F709 If the individual is a Scottish taxpayer, instead of Step 3 carry out Steps 3A and 3B.]

Step 1

Attribute to the amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual's income for the tax year which is liable at the dividend upper rate, so far as is possible.

F710 ...

Step 3

If there is an amount of the deficiency remaining after Step [F711 1 ] , attribute to the remaining amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual's F712 ... income for the tax year which is liable at the higher rate, so far as is possible.

[F713 Step 3A

If there is an amount of deficiency remaining after Step 1, attribute to the remaining amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual’s income for the tax year which is liable at the higher of the Scottish higher rate and the higher rate, so far as is possible.

Step 3B

If there is an amount of deficiency remaining after Step 3A, attribute to the remaining amount of the deficiency an amount of the individual’s income for the tax year which is liable at the lower of the Scottish higher rate and the higher rate, so far as is possible.]

Step 4

Calculate the amount of the individual's preliminary income tax liability for the tax year (see subsection (6)).

Step 5

Calculate the amount of the individual's preliminary income tax liability for the tax year again, on these assumptions—

Assume that any income attributed to the deficiency at Step 1 is liable at the dividend ordinary rate.

F714 ...

[F715 Assume that any income liable at the higher rate and attributed to the deficiency at Step 3, Step 3A or Step 3B is liable at the basic rate] .

Step 6

Deduct the amount found at Step 5 from the amount found at Step 4.

The result is the amount of the tax reduction. [F716 Assume that any income liable at the Scottish higher rate and attributed to the deficiency at Step 3A or Step 3B is liable at the Scottish basic rate.]

(6) The individual's preliminary income tax liability is the amount found by calculating the individual's income tax liability in accordance with section 23 of ITA 2007, ignoring Steps 6 and 7 of that calculation.]

652 Estate income: absolute interests in residue U.K.

(1) Income is treated as arising in a tax year from a person's absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate if—

(a) the person has an assumed income entitlement for the tax year in respect of the interest (see sections 665 to 670), and

(b) condition A or B is met.

(2) Condition A is that a payment is made in respect of the interest in the tax year and before the end of the administration period (see section 653).

(3) Condition B is that the tax year is the final tax year (see section 653).

(4) Income treated as arising as a result of this section is estate income for the purposes of this Chapter.

653 Meaning of “the administration period” and “the final tax year” U.K.

(1) In this Chapter “the administration period”, in relation to the estate of a deceased person, means the period beginning with the deceased's death and ending with the completion of the administration of the estate.

(2) In the application of subsection (1) to Scotland, the reference to the completion of the administration is to be taken as a reference to the date at which, after discharge of, or provision for, liabilities falling to be met out of the deceased's estate, the free balance held in trust for the residuary legatees or for the persons with the right to the intestate estate has been ascertained.

(3) In this Chapter “the final tax year” means the tax year in which the administration period ends.

654 Estate income: limited interests in residue U.K.

(1) Income is treated as arising in a tax year from a person's limited interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate in cases A, B and C.

(2) Case A is where—

(a) the interest has not ceased before the beginning of the tax year, and

(b) a sum is paid in respect of the interest in that year and before the end of the administration period.

(3) Case B is where—

(a) the tax year is the final tax year,

(b) the interest has not ceased before the beginning of that year, and

(c) a sum remains payable in respect of the interest at the end of the administration period.

(a) the tax year is a year before the final tax year,

(b) the interest ceases in the tax year, and

(c) a sum is paid in respect of the interest in a later tax year but before the end of the administration period, or remains payable in respect of it at the end of that period.

(5) This section does not apply to limited interests to which section 674 (successive interests: holders of limited interests) applies.

(6) Income treated as arising as a result of this section or section 674 is estate income for the purposes of this Chapter.

655 Estate income: discretionary interests in residue U.K.

(2) Income treated as arising as a result of this section is estate income for the purposes of this Chapter.

Income charged and person liable U.K.

656 Income charged: UK estates U.K.

(1) In the case of a UK estate, tax is charged under section 649 on the amount of estate income treated as arising in the tax year.

(2) That amount is the basic amount of that income for the tax year (see subsection (4)) grossed up by reference to the applicable rate for that year (see section 663).

(3) The gross amount is treated as having borne income tax at that rate.

(4) In this Chapter “the basic amount”, in relation to estate income, has the meaning given by—

(2) That amount depends on whether the estate income arising in the tax year is paid from sums within section [F811 680(4)] (sums treated as bearing income tax).

(3) So far as the estate income is paid from such sums, that amount is the basic amount of that income for the tax year grossed up by reference to the applicable rate for that year (see section 663).

(4) That gross amount is treated as having borne income tax at that rate.

(a) where the person has an absolute interest in the whole of the residue of the estate, by an amount equal to the excess, and

(b) in any other case, by an amount equal to such part of the excess as is just and reasonable.

(4) See sections 665 to 670 for the meaning of references to assumed income entitlement and residuary income of an estate.

the applicable rate is that rate.

(4) If—

(a) different parts of the aggregate income of the estate bear income tax at different rates, and

Further provisions for calculating estate income relating to absolute interests U.K.

665 Assumed income entitlement U.K.

(1) Whether a person has an assumed income entitlement for a tax year in respect of an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate depends on the results of the following steps.

Step 1

Find the amount of the person's share of the residuary income of the estate that is attributable to that interest for that tax year and each previous tax year during which the person had that interest (see sections 666 to 669).

Step 2

If the estate is a UK estate in relation to any tax year for which an amount has been found under step 1, deduct from that amount income tax on that amount at the applicable rate for that year (see section 670).

Step 3

Add together the amounts found under step 1 after making any deductions necessary under step 2.

Step 4

Add together the basic amounts relating to the person's absolute interest in respect of which the person was liable for income tax for all previous tax years (or would have been so liable if the person had been a person liable for income tax for those years).

(2) For the purposes of this Chapter the person has an assumed income entitlement for the tax year if the amount resulting from step 3 exceeds the amount resulting from step 4.

(3) The assumed income entitlement is equal to the excess.

(4) This section is subject to—

• section 671 (successive absolute interests), and

• section 672 (successive interests: assumed income entitlement of holder of absolute interest following limited interest).

666 The residuary income of the estate U.K.

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter the residuary income of an estate for a tax year is the aggregate income of the estate for that year, less the allowable estate deductions for that year.

This is subject to section 669 (reduction in residuary income: inheritance tax on accrued income).

(2) The allowable estate deductions for a tax year are—

(a) all interest paid in that year by the personal representatives in that capacity (but see section 233 of IHTA 1984: exclusion of interest on unpaid inheritance tax),

(b) all annual payments for that year which are properly payable out of residue,

(c) all payments made in that year in respect of expenses incurred by the personal representatives in that capacity in the management of the assets of the estate, and

(d) any excess deductions from the previous tax year.

This is subject to subsections (3) to (5).

(3) No sum is to be treated as an allowable estate deduction if it is allowable in calculating the aggregate income of the estate.

(4) No sum is to be counted twice as an allowable estate deduction.

(5) Payments in respect of expenses are only allowable estate deductions if they are properly chargeable to income (ignoring any specific direction in a will).

(6) In this section “excess deductions from the previous tax year” means so much of the allowable deductions for the previous tax year as exceeded the aggregate income of the estate for that year.

667 Shares of residuary income of estate U.K.

(1) In the case of a person who has an absolute interest in the whole of the residue of an estate for a whole tax year, the person's share of the residuary income of the estate in respect of that interest for that year is equal to the whole of that income for that year.

(2) In the case of a person who—

(a) has an absolute interest in the whole of the residue of an estate for part of the tax year, or

(b) an absolute interest in part of the residue of an estate for the whole or part of the tax year,

the person's share of the residuary income of the estate is a proportionate part of that income for that year.

(3) This section is subject to section 668 (reduction in share of residuary income of estate).

668 Reduction in share of residuary income of estate U.K.

(1) This section applies if a person has an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of an estate at the end of the administration period and—

(a) the total of the person's shares of the residuary income of the estate in respect of that interest for all tax years (apart from this section), exceeds

(b) the total of all sums paid during or payable at the end of the administration period in respect of that interest to any person (grossed up where subsection (5) applies).

(2) In the final tax year the person's share of the residuary income of the estate is to be reduced by that excess.

(3) If that excess is greater than the person's share of that income for the final tax year, that person's share of that income for the previous tax year is to be reduced, and so on.

(4) If subsection (3) applies all necessary adjustments and repayments of income tax are to be made.

(5) For the purposes of calculating the total mentioned in subsection (1)(b)—

(a) if the estate is a UK estate in relation to a tax year in which a sum is paid, the sum is to be grossed up by reference to the basic rate for that year, and

(b) if the estate is a UK estate in relation to the final tax year, a sum payable at the end of the administration period is to be grossed up by reference to the basic rate for that year.

(6) For the application of this section where two or more absolute interests in the whole or the same part of the residue are held successively by different persons, see section 671(5) and (6).

669 Reduction in residuary income: inheritance tax on accrued income U.K.

(1) This section applies if on the death of a person (“D”) income which accrued before D's death (“pre-death income”) is taken into account both—

(a) in determining the value of D's estate for the purposes of inheritance tax charged on D's death, and

(b) in calculating the residuary income of D's estate for a tax year.

(2) A reduction is made in the residuary income of D's estate for that tax year in ascertaining the extra liability, if any, of a person with an absolute interest in the whole or part of the residue of D's estate or any other estate to which that residuary income is relevant.

(3) A person's extra liability is the amount by which the person's liability to income tax exceeds the amount it would be if—

[F814 (a) income charged at the [F815 applicable rate] were charged at the basic rate, and

(b) income charged at the dividend additional rate or the dividend upper rate were charged at the dividend ordinary rate.]

[F816 (3A) For the purposes of subsection (3), the “applicable rate” means—

(a) the additional rate,

(b) the higher rate, or

(c) in the case of a Scottish taxpayer, any Scottish rate above the Scottish basic rate.]

(4) The amount of the reduction under subsection (2) is calculated as follows:

Step 1

Calculate the net pre-death income by subtracting from the pre-death income any liabilities which have been taken account both—

(a)  in determining the value of D's estate for the purposes of inheritance tax, and

(b)  in calculating the residuary income of D's estate for the tax year.

Step 2

Calculate the inheritance tax attributable to net pre-death income by multiplying the inheritance tax to be charged by—

where—

NPDI is the net pre-death income, and

VE is the value of D's estate.

Step 3

Gross up the inheritance tax attributable to net pre-death income by reference to the basic rate for the tax year.

(5) The amount of pre-death income taken into account in determining the value of D's estate is taken to be the actual amount of income accruing before D's death, less income tax at the basic rate for the tax year in which D died.

(6) Subsection (5) applies even if the income so accruing was not valued separately or its amount was not known at the date of D's death.

(7) For the purposes of this section, the amounts agreed between the persons liable for inheritance tax and [F817 an officer of Revenue and Customs] , or determined in proceedings between them, as the value of the estate and the amount of inheritance tax to be charged are conclusive.

(8) Evidence of those amounts and of any facts relevant to their calculation may be given by the production of a document that appears to be a certificate from [F817 an officer of Revenue and Customs]

670 Applicable rate for determining assumed income entitlement (UK estates) U.K.

(1) The applicable rate by reference to which income tax on a person's share of the residuary income of the estate for a tax year is calculated for the purposes of step 2 of the calculation in section 665(1) depends on the rate at which income tax is borne by the aggregate income of the estate for the year.

(2) If the aggregate income of the estate all bears income tax at the same rate, the applicable rate is that rate.

(3) If different parts of the aggregate income of the estate bear income tax at different rates, the applicable rate is the rate that applies to the income to which the person's share of the residuary income of the estate relates.

(4) If different rates apply to different parts of that income, each of those rates is the applicable rate that applies to the corresponding part of the income to which the person's share of the residuary income of the estate relates.

[F818 (4A) The aggregate income of the estate, so far as it consists of income within section 664(2)(c) or (d), is treated for the purposes of this section as bearing income tax at 0%.]

Special rules for successive interests U.K.

671 Successive absolute interests U.K.

(1) This section applies if two or more absolute interests in the whole or the same part of the residue of an estate are held successively during the administration period by different persons.

(2) In determining whether a person with a later such interest (“the later holder”) has an assumed income entitlement in respect of that interest and, if so, its amount—

(a) the later holder's share of the residuary income of the estate in respect of that interest for any tax year is to be treated as including the share of any person with a previous such interest (“a previous holder”), and

(b) the basic amounts relating to the later holder's interest are to be treated as including the basic amounts relating to any previous such interest.

(3) In applying subsection (2), all determinations under that subsection or section 672(2) that fall to be made in relation to a person with an earlier interest are to be made before determinations under those provisions relating to a person with a later interest.

(4) A person who is a previous holder in the final tax year is to be taxed in that year, in relation to the interest as to which that person is a previous holder, as if that year were not the final tax year, and the later holder's assumed income entitlement in that year is to be calculated accordingly [F819 (or, where the previous holder is a company chargeable to corporation tax, having regard to the application of section 954(4) of CTA 2009 to the previous holder)].

(5) The calculation under section 668(1)(a) and (b) (amount of reduction in the share of the residuary income of the person with an absolute interest at the end of the administration period) is to be made by reference to all the absolute interests taken together.

(6) If the amount resulting from that calculation is greater than the total amount of the reductions which can be made under section 668(2) and (3), the share of the residuary income of the estate of the last previous holder of the interest for the last tax year in which that last holder had that interest is to be reduced, and so on [F820 (but, in a case where the last previous holder or any earlier previous holder is a company chargeable to corporation tax, having regard to the application of section 954(6) of CTA 2009 to the previous holder)].

(7) For the purposes of this section and sections 672 to 676, two interests are held successively even where one is not held immediately before or after the other.

(8) It is assumed for those purposes that each of the persons holding the interests in question is a person liable to income tax.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4), the market value of a share is determined as at the time of its acquisition.

(6) Condition C is that the shares were acquired for genuine commercial reasons and not as part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose of which, or one of the main purposes of which, was the avoidance of tax.

(3) Subsection (2) is subject to subsection (4).

(4) If shares of different descriptions acquired on the same day cause the limit to be exceeded on that day, shares of each description are treated as exempt shares so far as their market value does not exceed the appropriate proportion of the available value.

[F1072 850C Excess profit allocation to non-individual partners U.K.

(1) Subsections (4) and (5) apply if—

(a) for a period of account (“the relevant period of account”)—

(i) the calculation under section 849 in relation to an individual partner (“A”) (see subsection (6)) produces a profit for the firm, and

(ii) A's share of that profit determined under section 850 or 850A (“A's profit share”) is a profit or is neither a profit nor a loss,

(b) a non-individual partner (“B”) (see subsection (6)) has a share of the profit for the firm mentioned in paragraph (a)(i) (“B's profit share”) which is a profit (see subsection (7)), and

(c) condition X or Y is met.

(2) Condition X is that it is reasonable to suppose that—

(a) amounts representing A's deferred profit (see subsection (8)) are included in B's profit share, and

(b) in consequence, both A's profit share and the relevant tax amount (see subsection (9)) are lower than they would otherwise have been.

(3) Condition Y is that—

(a) B's profit share exceeds the appropriate notional profit (see subsections (10) to (17)),

(b) A has the power to enjoy B's profit share (“A's power to enjoy”) (see subsections (18) to (21)), and

(c) it is reasonable to suppose that—

(i) the whole or any part of B's profit share is attributable to A's power to enjoy, and

(ii) both A's profit share and the relevant tax amount (see subsection (9)) are lower than they would have been in the absence of A's power to enjoy.

(4) A's profit share is increased by so much of the amount of B's profit share as, it is reasonable to suppose, is attributable to—

(a) A's deferred profit, or

(b) A's power to enjoy,

as determined on a just and reasonable basis.

But any increase by virtue of paragraph (b) is not to exceed the amount of the excess mentioned in subsection (3)(a) after deducting from that amount any increase by virtue of paragraph (a).

(5) If B is chargeable to income tax, in applying sections 850 to 850B in relation to B for the relevant period of account, such adjustments are to be made as are just and reasonable to take account of the increase in A's profit share under subsection (4).

(This subsection does not apply for the purposes of subsection (7) or section 850D(7).)

(6) A partner in a firm is an “individual partner” if the partner is an individual and “non-individual partner” is to be read accordingly; but “non-individual partner” does not include the firm itself where it is treated as a partner under section 863I (allocation of profit to AIFM firm).

(7) B's profit share is to be determined by applying section 850 and, if relevant, section 850A in relation to B for the relevant period of account (whether or not B is chargeable to income tax) on the assumption that the calculation under section 849 in relation to B produces the profit for the firm mentioned in subsection (1)(a)(i).

(8) “A's deferred profit”—

(a) is any remuneration or other benefits or returns the provision of which to A has been deferred (whether pending the meeting of any conditions (including conditions which may never be met) or otherwise), and

(b) includes A's share (as determined on a just and reasonable basis) of any remuneration or other benefits or returns the provision of which to A and one or more other persons, taken together, has been deferred (whether pending the meeting of any conditions (including conditions which may never be met) or otherwise).

(b) any return actually received for the relevant period of account in respect of B's contribution to the firm which is not included in B's profit share.

(12) The return mentioned in subsection (11)(a) is to be calculated on the basis that it is a return which is—

(a) by reference to the time value of an amount of money equal to B's contribution to the firm, and

(b) at a rate which (in all the circumstances) is a commercial rate of interest.

(13) For the purposes of subsections (11) and (12) B's contribution to the firm is amount A determined under section 108 of ITA 2007 (meaning of “contribution to the LLP”).

(14) That section is to be applied—

(a) reading references to the individual as references to B and references to the LLP as references to the firm, and

(b) with the omission of—

(i) subsections (5)(b) and (9), and

(ii) in subsection (6) the words from “but” to the end.

(15) “The appropriate notional consideration for services” is—

(b) any amount actually received in consideration for any such services which is not included in B's profit share.

(16) The consideration mentioned in subsection (15)(a) is to be calculated on the basis that B is not a partner in the firm and is acting at arm's length from the firm.

(17) Any services, the provision of which involves any partner in the firm in addition to B, are to be ignored for the purposes of subsection (15).

(18) A has the power to enjoy B's profit share if—

(a) A is connected with B by virtue of a provision of section 993 of ITA 2007 (meaning of “connected” persons) other than subsection (4) of that section,

(b) A is a party to arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure that an amount included in B's profit share—

(i) is charged to corporation tax rather than income tax, or

(ii) is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts rather than the provisions of the Income Tax Acts, or

(c) any of the enjoyment conditions (see subsection (20)) is met in relation to B's profit share or any part of B's profit share.

(19) In subsection (18)(b) “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

(20) The enjoyment conditions are—

(a) B's profit share, or the part, is in fact so dealt with by any person as to be calculated at some time to enure for the benefit of A, whether in the form of income or not;

(b) the receipt or accrual of B's profit share, or the part, by or to B operates to increase the value to A of any assets held by, or for the benefit of, A;

(c) A receives or is entitled to receive at any time any benefit provided or to be provided (directly or indirectly) out of B's profit share or the part;

(d) A may become entitled to the beneficial enjoyment of B's profit share, or the part, if one or more powers are exercised or successively exercised by any person;

(e) A is able in any manner to control (directly or indirectly) the application of B's profit share or the part.

(21) In subsection (20) references to A include any person connected with A apart from B.

(22) Subsection (23) applies if—

(a) the increase under subsection (4), or any part of it, is allocated by A to the firm itself under section 863I (allocation of profit to AIFM firm), and

(b) B makes a payment to the firm representing any income tax for which the firm is liable by virtue of section 863I in respect of the amount of the increase allocated to it.

(23) For income tax purposes, the payment—

(a) is not to be income of any partner in the firm, and

(b) is not to be taken into account in calculating any profits or losses of B or otherwise deducted from any income of B.

863B Condition A U.K.

(1) The question of whether condition A is met is to be determined at the following times—

(a) if relevant arrangements are in place—

(i) at the beginning of the tax year 2014-15, or

(ii) if later, when M becomes a member of the limited liability partnership,

at the time mentioned in sub-paragraph (i) or (ii) (as the case may be);

(b) at any subsequent time when relevant arrangements are put in place or modified;

(c) where—

(i) the question has previously been determined, and

(ii) the relevant arrangements which were in place at the time of the previous determination do not end, and are not modified, by the end of the period which was the relevant period for the purposes of the previous determination (see step 1 in subsection (3)),

immediately after the end of that period.

(2) “Relevant arrangements” means arrangements under which amounts are to be, or may be, payable by the limited liability partnership in respect of M's performance of services for the partnership in M's capacity as a member of the partnership.

(3) Take the following steps to determine whether condition A is met at a time (“the relevant time”).

• Step 1 Identify the relevant period by reference to the relevant arrangements which are in place at the relevant time.“The relevant period” means the period—

  (a)

  beginning with the relevant time, and

  (b)

  ending at the time when, as at the relevant time, it is reasonable to expect that the relevant arrangements will end or be modified.

• Step 2 Condition A is met if, at the relevant time, it is reasonable to expect that at least 80% of the total amount payable by the limited liability partnership in respect of M's performance during the relevant period of services for the partnership in M's capacity as a member of the partnership will be disguised salary. An amount within the total amount is “disguised salary” if it—

  (a)

  is fixed,

  (b)

  is variable, but is varied without reference to the overall amount of the profits or losses of the limited liability partnership, or

  (c)

  is not, in practice, affected by the overall amount of those profits or losses.

(4) If condition A is determined to be met, or not to be met, at a time, the condition is to be treated as met, or as not met, at all subsequent times until the question is required to be re-determined under subsection (1)(b) or (c).

(5) In this section “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable).

863D Condition C U.K.

(1) Condition C is that, at the time at which it is being determined whether the condition is met (“the relevant time”), M's contribution to the limited liability partnership (see sections 863E and 863F) is less than 25% of the amount given by subsection (2) (subject to subsection (7)).

(2) That amount is the total amount of the disguised salary which, at the relevant time, it is reasonable to expect will be payable by the limited liability partnership in respect of M's performance during the relevant tax year of services for the partnership in M's capacity as a member of the partnership.

In this section “the relevant tax year” means the tax year in which the relevant time falls and an amount is “disguised salary” if it falls within any of paragraphs (a) to (c) at step 2 in section 863B(3).

(3) The question of whether condition C is met is to be determined—

(a) at the beginning of the tax year 2014-15 or, if later, the time at which M becomes a member of the limited liability partnership;

(b) after that, at the beginning of each tax year.

(4) If in a tax year—

(a) there is a change in M's contribution to the limited liability partnership, or

(b) there is otherwise a change of circumstances which might affect the question of whether condition C is met,

the question of whether the condition is met is to be re-determined at the time of the change.

This subsection is subject to section 863F(3).

(5) If condition C is determined to be met (including by virtue of subsection (7)), or not to be met, at the relevant time, the condition is to be treated as met, or as not met, at all subsequent times until the question is required to be re-determined under subsection (3)(b) or (4).

(6) Subsection (7) applies if—

(a) the relevant time coincides with an increase in M's contribution to the limited liability partnership, and

(b) apart from subsection (7), that increase would cause condition C not to be met at the relevant time.

(7) Condition C is to be treated as met at the relevant time unless, at that time, it is reasonable to expect that condition C will not be met for the remainder of the relevant tax year (ignoring this subsection).

(8) If there are any excluded days in the relevant tax year (see subsections (9) to (11)), in subsection (1) the reference to M's contribution to the limited liability partnership is to be read as a reference to that contribution multiplied by the following fraction—

(a) which is before the day on which the relevant time falls, and

(b) the undertaking requires M to make the contribution by the end of—

(i) the period of 3 months ending with 5 July 2014, or

(ii) if it ends after that date, the period of 2 months beginning with the date on which M becomes a member of the limited liability partnership, and

(2) For the purpose of determining whether condition C in section 863D is met—

(a) at the time mentioned in section 863D(3)(a), or

M is to be treated as having made the contribution at the time mentioned in section 863D(3)(a) (so far as M has not (actually) made the contribution at the time at which it is being determined whether condition C is met).

(3) If M (actually) makes the contribution (in whole or in part) during the relevant period, the question of whether condition C is met is not to be re-determined under section 863D(4) just because of the making of the contribution (in whole or in part).

(4) If M does not (actually) make the contribution (in whole or in part) by the end of the relevant period, any determination in relation to which subsection (2) applied is to be made again (as at the time at which it was originally made).

(5) In making a determination again—

(a) if it is the whole of the contribution which M does not make by the end of the relevant period, subsection (2) is to be ignored;

(b) if M makes part of the contribution by the end of the relevant period, in subsection (2) references to the contribution are to be read as references to that part of it.

(b) income tax is charged under this subsection on that income, and

(b) an amount equal to—

(i) so much of the income tax mentioned in paragraph (a) as is paid by the AIFM firm by the time the vesting occurs, or
