(3)In subsection (5) of that section (cases where rule for attributing gains to members of non-resident companies does not apply), after the “or” at the end of paragraph (b) insert—

(ca)a chargeable gain accruing on the disposal of an asset used, and used only, for the purposes of economically significant activities carried on by the company wholly or mainly outside the United Kingdom, or

(cb)a chargeable gain accruing to the company on a disposal of an asset where it is shown that neither—

(ii)the acquisition or holding of the asset by the company,

formed part of a scheme or arrangements of which the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, was avoidance of liability to capital gains tax or corporation tax, or.

(4)After section 13 insert—

13ASection 13(5): interpretation

(1)For the purposes of section 13(5)(b) a disposal of an asset is to be regarded as a disposal of an asset used for the purposes of a trade carried on wholly outside the United Kingdom by a company if—

(a)the asset is accommodation, or an interest or right in accommodation, which is situated outside the United Kingdom, and

(b)the accommodation has for each relevant period been furnished holiday accommodation of which a person has made a commercial letting.

(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) each of the following is “a relevant period”—

(a)the period of 12 months ending with the date of the disposal and each of the two preceding periods of 12 months, or

(b)if the company has been the beneficial owner of the accommodation (or interest or right) for a period longer than 36 months, the period of 12 months ending with the date of the disposal and each of the preceding periods of 12 months throughout which the company has been the beneficial owner of the accommodation (or interest or right).

(3)The reference in subsection (1)(b) to the commercial letting of furnished holiday accommodation is to be read in accordance with Chapter 6 of Part 4 of CTA 2009, but—

(a)as if sections 266, 268 and 268A were omitted, and

(b)as if, in section 267(1), the reference to an accounting period were a reference to a relevant period as defined by subsection (2) above.

(4)For the purposes of section 13(5)(ca) activities carried on by a company are “economically significant activities” if they are activities which consist of the provision by the company of goods or services to others on a commercial basis and involve—

(a)the use of staff in numbers, and with competence and authority,

(b)the use of premises and equipment, and

(c)the addition of economic value, by the company, to those to whom the goods or services are provided,
