(1)This section applies to a provision of this Chapter that is satisfied if something (for example, disposal proceeds) is taken offshore or used by a relevant person to make a qualifying investment.
(2)Things are to be regarded as “taken offshore” if (and only if) they are taken outside the United Kingdom such that, on leaving the United Kingdom, they cease to be available—
(a)to be used or enjoyed in the United Kingdom by or for the benefit of a relevant person, or
(b)to be used or enjoyed in any other way that would count as remitting income or gains to the United Kingdom.
(3)If—
(a)the thing required to be taken offshore or invested is money, and
(b)it is paid temporarily into an account pending satisfaction of the provision,
the provision is satisfied only if the money actually taken offshore or invested is taken from the same account.
(4)If the thing required to be taken offshore or invested is something in money's worth, the provision may be satisfied—
(a)by taking the thing offshore or investing it, or
(b)by taking offshore or investing money or other property of the equivalent value.
(5)“The equivalent value” is the market value of the thing in money's worth, assessed as at the date of the sale or other disposal in relation to which the provision is triggered.
(6)If the consideration for a disposal is deemed under section 809Z8(4), the provision may be satisfied by taking offshore or investing money or other property of a value equal to—

(c)consideration for the disposal of all or part of the holding (see section 809VC) relating to a qualifying investment.
(8)Money or other property taken offshore or invested in accordance with subsection (4)(b) or (6) is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter—

(b)as having the same composition of kinds of income and capital as that thing.

(a)by taking the whole thing offshore or investing the whole thing, or
