Chapter 7Roll-over relief in case of realisation and reinvestment

When the relief is given

755Conditions relating to the old asset and its realisation

1

The old asset must have been a chargeable intangible asset of the company throughout the period during which it was held by the company (but see subsection (5)).

2

The proceeds of realisation of the old asset must exceed—

a

the cost of the asset,

b

in the case of a part realisation, the appropriate proportion of the cost of the asset (see section 759(1) and (2)), or

c

in the case of the realisation of an asset that has previously been the subject of a part realisation, the adjusted cost of the asset (see section 759(3)).

3

In subsection (2) “the cost of the asset” means the total capitalised expenditure on the asset recognised for tax purposes.

4

The condition in subsection (2) is met if the old asset has no cost as defined in subsection (3).

5

Subsection (6) applies if the old asset was a chargeable intangible asset of the company—

a

at the time of its realisation, and

b

for a substantial proportion of the period during which it was held by the company, but not for the whole of that period.

6

The same proportion of the asset is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as if it were a separate asset in relation to which the condition in subsection (1) was wholly met.

7

Any apportionment necessary for the purposes of subsections (5) and (6) must be made on a just and reasonable basis.
