[F1 [F2 809VG Income or gains treated as remitted following certain events U.K.

(1) Subsection (2) applies if—

(a) income or chargeable gains are treated under section 809VA(2) as not remitted to the United Kingdom as a result of a qualifying investment,

(b) a potentially chargeable event occurs after the investment is made, and

(c) the appropriate mitigation steps are not taken within the grace period allowed for each step.

(2) The affected income or gains are to be treated as having been remitted to the United Kingdom immediately after the end of the relevant grace period.

(3) Where the step required by section 809VI(2)(a) is not taken within the grace period allowed for that step, “the relevant grace period” is the grace period allowed for that step.

(4) Otherwise, “the relevant grace period” is the grace period allowed for the step required by section 809VI(1) or (2)(b).

(5) “The affected income or gains” means such portion of the income or gains mentioned in subsection (1)(a) as reflects the portion of the investment affected by the potentially chargeable event.

(6) The portion of the investment affected is—

(a) if the potentially chargeable event is a disposal of a part of the holding (or a part of the remaining holding), a portion equal to the portion of the holding (or remaining holding) being disposed of, and

(b) otherwise, the whole of the investment.

(7) Sections 809VN (order of disposals etc) and 809VO (investments made from mixed funds) make further provision for the purposes of this section.

(8) If a qualifying investment is made using the money or other property mentioned in section 809VA(3) together with other funds—

(a) that investment is to be treated as two separate investments, one made using the money or other property mentioned in section 809VA(3) and one made using the other funds, and

(b) references in the business investment provisions to “the investment” and “the holding” relate only to the investment made using the money or other property mentioned in section 809VA(3).

(9) If the potentially chargeable event mentioned in subsection (1)(b) is not the first such event to affect the investment, the income or gains mentioned in subsection (1)(a) do not include, as respects that investment—

(a) any part already treated under subsection (2) as remitted to the United Kingdom as a result of an earlier event,

(b) any part contained in amounts already taken offshore or re-invested by way of appropriate mitigation steps following an earlier event, or

(c) any part contained in amounts already used to make a tax deposit without which an amount mentioned in paragraph (b) would not have been enough to satisfy section 809VI(1) or (2)(b) (see section 809VK).]]
