(5)In this section—
“holder” has the meaning given by section 516(5), and
“policy holder” includes a holder of a life annuity contract.
(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 515 to determine—
(a)whether a gain has arisen in relation to that year, and
(b)if so, the amount of the gain.
(2)There is a gain if, as at the end of the insurance year, the sum of PP and TPE exceeds TSG.
(3)In subsection (2)—

(4)The gain is equal to 15% of the excess.
(1)To calculate the total amount of personal portfolio bond excesses—
Step 1
Apply the calculation in section 522 in relation to the policy or contract as at the end of each previous insurance year during its existence in succession starting with the first such year.
Step 2
Determine whether in each case the calculation produces a gain and, if so, its amount.
Step 3
Add together all the amounts produced by step 2.
(2)But if there is no previous insurance year during the existence of the policy or contract, the total amount of personal portfolio bond excesses is nil.
(1)To calculate the total amount of part surrender gains—
Step 1
Apply the provisions of this Chapter mentioned in subsection (3) as modified by subsections (4) and (5) in relation to the policy or contract as at the end of each previous insurance year during its existence.
Step 2
Determine whether in each case those provisions produce a gain and, if so, its amount.
Step 3
Add together all of the amounts produced by step 2.
(2)But if there is no previous insurance year during the existence of the policy or contract, the total amount of part surrender gains is nil.
(3)The provisions of this Chapter which apply for the purposes of the calculation in subsection (1) are—
(a)subsections (2) to (6) of section 507 (method for making periodic calculations), and
(b)subsections (1) to (3) and (5) of section 508 (the value of rights partially surrendered).

(b)to the value of any part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract so assigned.
(5)In the application of step 3 in subsection (4) of section 507 for the purposes of this section, the reference in that step to previous calculation events does not include a reference to an excess event consisting of the assignment of a part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract.
(1)This section applies if the calculation in section 522 shows that a gain has arisen in relation to an insurance year.
(2)The gain is treated as arising at the end of the insurance year on the occurrence of a chargeable event at that time.
