(1)This Chapter provides for CITR to be withdrawn or reduced under—
(a)section 360 (disposal of loan during 5 year period),
(b)section 361 (disposal of securities or shares during 5 year period),
(c)section 362 (repayment of loan capital during 5 year period),
(d)section 363 (value received by investor during 6 year period: loans),
(e)section 364 (value received by investor during 6 year period: securities or shares),
(f)section 371 (CITR subsequently found not to have been due).
(2)This Chapter also provides for the manner in which CITR is to be withdrawn or reduced (see section 372).
(3)In this Chapter “the 6 year period” in relation to the investment is the period of 6 years beginning 12 months before the investment date.
(1)If the investment consists of a loan and within the 5 year period—
(a)the investor disposes of the whole of the investment, otherwise than by way of a permitted disposal, or
(b)the investor disposes of a part of the investment,
any CITR attributable to the investment in respect of any tax year must be withdrawn.
(2)For the purposes of this section—
(a)a disposal is “permitted” if—
(i)it is by way of a distribution in the course of dissolving or winding up the CDFI,
(ii)it is a disposal within section 24(1) of TCGA 1992 (entire loss, destruction, dissipation or extinction of asset),
(iii)it is a deemed disposal under section 24(2) of that Act (claim that value of asset has become negligible), or
(iv)it is made after the CDFI has ceased to be accredited under this Part, and
(b)a full or partial repayment of the loan is not treated as giving rise to a disposal.
(1)This section applies if the investment consists of securities or shares and—
(a)the investor disposes of the whole or any part of the investment (“the former investment”) within the 5 year period,
(b)the CDFI has not ceased to be accredited before the disposal, and
(c)the disposal does not arise as a result of an event within section 366(1)(a) (repayment, redemption or repurchase of securities or shares included in the investment).
(2)If the disposal is not a qualifying disposal, any CITR attributable to the former investment in respect of any tax year must be withdrawn.
(3)If the disposal is a qualifying disposal, any CITR attributable to the former investment [F1in respect of] a tax year must—
(a)if it is greater than A, be reduced by A, and
(b)in any other case, be withdrawn.
For this purpose “A” is an amount equal to 5% of the amount or value of the consideration (if any) which the investor receives for the former investment.
(4)For the purposes of this section “qualifying disposal” means a disposal that is—
(a)by way of a bargain made at arm's length, or
(b)a permitted disposal (within the meaning of section 360).
(5)If [F2in respect of] any tax year—
(a)the amount of CITR attributable to the former investment (“B”) is less than
(b)the amount (“C”) which is equal to 5% of the invested amount in respect of the former investment for that year,
subsection (3)(a) has effect in relation to that year as if the amount or value referred to in subsection (3) were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—
(6)If the amount of CITR attributable to the former investment in respect of a tax year has been reduced before the CITR is obtained, the amount referred to in subsection (5) as B is to be treated for the purposes of that subsection as the amount it would have been without that reduction.
(7)Subsection (6) does not apply to a reduction by virtue of section 358 (attribution: bonus shares).

as having received a repayment of the loan of an amount equal to the amount of the value received.
(3)For those purposes the repayment is treated as made—

(b)if the value is received in a later year of that period, at the beginning of the year in question.
(4)For the purposes of section 362 the repayment is treated as a repayment other than a non-standard repayment (within the meaning of that section).

(7)This section is subject to section 368 (value received if there is more than one investment).
