Paragraph 113: Certain pre-23rd March 1999 policies not foreign capital redemption policies
3633.This paragraph reflects the fact that the commencement provisions for the source legislation relevant to the paragraph (a) and paragraph (b) elements of the definition of a “foreign capital redemption policy”, in section 476(3), have different dates. It is similar in approach to that in paragraph 111 (certain pre-17th March 1998 policies not foreign policies of life insurance). As was the case for paragraph 104 (certain pre-23rd February 1984 policies not foreign capital redemption policies), the paragraph is based on sections 553(10) and 553B of ICTA.
3634.The paragraph sets out a general rule that policies issued in respect of an insurance made before 23 March 1999 are not foreign capital redemption policies, unless conditions are met which only affect policies within the paragraph (a) element of the definition in section 476(3). This ensures that policies falling within the paragraph (b) element of the definition do so only if they are issued in respect of a contract made on or after that date.
3635.Those conditions, under which an older policy is a foreign capital redemption policy, are that the policy is within the paragraph (a) element of the definition, subject to the commencement provisions in paragraph 104 (certain pre-23rd February 1984 policies not foreign capital redemption policies).
