(2)If—

(a)none of an individual's income for a tax year is chargeable to income tax at a higher income tax rate, but

(6)If the total amount of the entrepreneur or investor gains does not exceed the unused part of the individual's basic rate band—

Application of CGT principles etcU.K.
2DApplication of CGT principles in calculating gains and losses

(1)The total amount of chargeable gains to be included in a company's total profits for an accounting period is calculated for corporation tax purposes in accordance with capital gains tax principles.

(2)All of the following questions are determined in accordance with the enactments relating to capital gains tax as if accounting periods were tax years—

(a)any question as to the amounts to be, or not to be, taken into account as chargeable gains or allowable losses,

(b)any question as to the amounts to be, or not to be, taken into account in calculating gains or losses,

(c)any question as to the amounts charged to tax as a company's gains, and

2EReferences to income tax or Income Tax Acts in case of companies

(1)If the CGT enactments contain any reference to—

(a)income tax, or

(b)the Income Tax Acts,

the reference is, in relation to a company, to be read as a reference to corporation tax or the Corporation Tax Acts.

(2)But—

(a)this does not affect references to income tax in section 39(2), and

(b)so far as the CGT enactments operate by reference to matters of any specified description, account is to be taken for corporation tax purposes of matters of that description confined to companies but not of any confined to individuals.

2FInteraction of capital gains tax and corporation tax

(1)This Act as it has effect in accordance with this Chapter is not to be affected in its operation by the fact that capital gains tax and corporation tax are distinct taxes.

(3)Accordingly, a matter which in a case involving two individuals is relevant to both of them in relation to capital gains tax is in a similar case involving an individual and a company—

(a)relevant to the individual in relation to capital gains tax, and

(b)relevant to the company in relation to corporation tax.

SupplementaryU.K.

(a)a chargeable gain accrues at any time to a non-UK resident close company,

(b)the gain is connected to avoidance (see section 3A),

(c)the gain is not connected to a foreign trade or other economically significant foreign activities (see section 3A), and

(d)apart from this section, some or all of the gain would not be chargeable to corporation tax on the company.

(2)So much of the gain as would not otherwise be so chargeable is apportioned among participators, or indirect participators, in the company—

(a)who are resident in the United Kingdom at that time, or

(b)who are trustees of a settlement and are not resident in the United Kingdom at that time.

(3)The proportion of the amount of the gain to be apportioned to each person corresponds to the extent of the person's interest in the company as a participator or indirect participator.

(4)The amount apportioned to each person is treated as a chargeable gain accruing to the person.

(5)No apportionment of any part of a gain is made to an individual if—

(a)the gain accrues in a tax year which, as respects the individual, is a split year, and

(b)the gain accrues in the overseas part of the year.

(6)No apportionment of any part of a gain is made to a person if the total amount that would, apart from this subsection, be apportioned to—

(a)the person, and

(b)persons connected to the person,

is 25% or less of the amount of the gain falling to be apportioned.

(7)A person (“P”) is an “indirect participator” in a company (“A”) if—

(a)another company (“B”) which is a non-UK resident close company is a participator in A, and

(b)P is a participator in B or P is a participator in a third non-UK resident close company which is participator in B,

and so on through any number of non-UK resident close companies that are participators in other non-UK resident close companies.

(8)P's interest as an indirect participator in A in the case of any gain is determined by—

(a)apportioning the gain among the participators in A according to the extent of their respective interests as participators, and

(b)then further apportioning the gain apportioned to B among the participators in B according to the extent of their respective interests as participators, and so on through other companies.

(9)So far as it would go to reduce or extinguish chargeable gains accruing, as a result of this section, to a person in a chargeable period, this section applies to a loss accruing to the company on the disposal of an asset in that period as it would apply if there had been a gain.

(10)But—

(a)this only applies in relation to that person, and

(b)this section does not otherwise apply in relation to losses accruing to 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.

(a)for the purposes of a trade carried on by the company wholly outside the United Kingdom, or

(b)for the purposes of the foreign part of a trade carried on by the company partly within, and partly outside, the United Kingdom,

and the reference here to the foreign part of a trade is to the part of the trade carried on outside the United Kingdom.

(a)the asset is accommodation, or an interest or right in accommodation, 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.

(4)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 beneficially owned the accommodation (or interest or right) for more 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 had that beneficial ownership.

(5)The reference in this section to the commercial letting of furnished holiday accommodation is to be read in accordance with Chapter 6 of Part 4 of CTA 2009, but as if—

3BParticipators and their interests

(1)Participator” has the meaning given by section 454 of CTA 2010.

(2)Any reference to a person's interest as a participator in a company is to the interest in it represented by all the factors by reference to which the person is a participator.

(3)Any reference to the extent of a person's interest as a participator in a company is to such proportion of the interests as participators of all of the company's participators as, on a just and reasonable basis, is represented by that interest.

(a)the interest of a person in a company is wholly or partly represented by an interest under a settlement (“the beneficial interest”), and

(b)the beneficial interest is the factor (or one of them) by reference to which the person would, apart from this subsection, have an interest as a participator in the company,

that interest as a participator is, so far as represented by the beneficial interest, to be treated instead as the interest of the trustees of the settlement.

(5)If—

(a)exempt assets of a pension scheme are taken into account in ascertaining a person's interest as a participator in a company, and

(b)if those assets were ignored, an amount in respect of a gain accruing to the company would not be apportioned to the person as a result of section 3,

no amount in the respect of the gain is to be apportioned to the person as a result of that section.

(6)For this purpose—

(a)assets of a pension scheme” means assets held for the purposes of a fund or scheme to which section 271(1)(c) or (1A) applies, and

  • third, any other gains accruing to the individual in the tax year.

(3)If the tax year is a split year, the matching under the first and second steps is to be done by reference to the extent to which the gains are, or are not, remitted in the UK part of the year.

Exception in relation to interests in UK land used for trading purposesU.K.

5(1)A disposal of a right or interest in a company is not to be regarded as a disposal of an asset deriving at least 75% of its value from UK land if it is reasonable to conclude that, so far as the market value of the company's qualifying assets derives (directly or indirectly) from interests in UK land—

(a)all of the interests in UK land are used for trading purposes, or

(b)all of the interests in UK land would be used for those purposes if low-value non-trade interests in UK land were left out of account.

(c)some but not all of the disposals would, apart from this paragraph, be disposals of assets deriving at least 75% of their value from UK land, and

(d)if one of the companies included all of the assets of the others, a disposal of a right or interest in it would not be a disposal of an asset deriving at least 75% of its value from UK land.

(2)None of the disposals are to be regarded as disposals of assets deriving at least 75% of their value from UK land.

(3)In determining whether the condition in sub-paragraph (1)(d) is met in the case of a disposal of a right or interest in a company, it is to be assumed that, for the purposes of paragraph 4, each of the other companies in which rights or interest are disposed of is (so far as this would not otherwise be the case) a related party of the company on the day of the disposal.

(2)See also paragraph 16 (non-UK resident company holding UK land becoming resident in UK after 5 April 2019).

(3)For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a)a disposal is a “direct disposal of UK land” if it is a disposal of an interest in UK land, and

(b)ending with 5 April 2019,

there was no day on which the land to which the disposal relates consisted of or included a dwelling.

(3)If the disposal is of an interest in land subsisting under a contract for the acquisition of land that, at any time before 6 April 2019, consisted of or included a building to be constructed or adapted for use as a dwelling, the disposal is taken to be fully residential before that date.

(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, a disposal is made by a person who was not chargeable before 6 April 2019 if, immediately before that date, the person was—

(7)In determining for the purposes of this paragraph whether or not—

(a)a person is a closely-held company, or
