377Identification of securities or shares on a disposal
1
This section applies for the purpose of identifying the securities or shares disposed of in any case where—
a
the investor disposes of part of a holding of securities or shares (“the holding”), and
b
the holding includes securities or shares to which CITR is attributable in respect of one or more tax years that have been held continuously by the investor from the time they were issued until the disposal.
2
Any disposal by the investor of securities or shares included in the holding which have been acquired by the investor on different days is treated as relating to those acquired on an earlier day rather than to those acquired on a later day.
3
If there is a disposal by the investor of securities or shares included in the holding which have been acquired by the investor on the same day, any of those securities or shares—
a
to which CITR is attributable, and
b
which have been held by the investor continuously from the time they were issued until the time of disposal,
are treated as disposed of after any other securities or shares included in the holding which were acquired by the investor on that day.
4
For the purposes of this section a holding of securities is any number of securities of a company which—
a
carry the same rights,
b
were issued under the same terms, and
c
are held by the investor in the same capacity.
It does not matter for this purpose that the number of the securities grows or diminishes as securities carrying those rights and issued under those terms are acquired or disposed of.
5
For the purposes of this section a holding of shares is any number of shares in a company which—
a
are of the same class, and
b
are held by the investor in the same capacity.
It does not matter for this purpose that the number of the shares grows or diminishes as shares of that class are acquired or disposed of.
6
In a case to which section 127 of TCGA 1992 (equation of original shares and new holding) applies, shares comprised in the new holding are to be treated for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) as acquired when the original shares were acquired.
7
In subsection (6)—
a
the reference to section 127 of TCGA 1992 includes a reference to that section as it is applied by virtue of any enactment relating to chargeable gains, and
b
“original shares” and “new holding” have the same meaning as in section 127 of TCGA 1992 or (as the case may be) that section as applied by virtue of the enactment in question.
