Amendment of Part 9 of Schedule 26

Amendment of paragraph 45FA of Schedule 26

16.  For paragraph 45FA(1) (creditor relationships: existing assets) substitute—

Creditor relationships: existing assets

45FA.(1) This paragraph applies if paragraph 45D or 45F would apply to a derivative contract for an accounting period but for sub-paragraph (2)(f) of that paragraph.

(2) Paragraph 14(3) (non-trading debits and credits) shall not apply to the credits and debits given in relation to the contract for the accounting period by paragraph 15.

(3) The original creditor relationship by virtue of which paragraph 45D or 45F would apply to the derivative contract shall not be treated as a qualifying corporate bond by virtue of section 117(A1) of TCGA 1992.

(4) For the purposes of TCGA 1992 the amount or value of the consideration for any disposal of the original asset shall be treated as adjusted so as to exclude so much of it as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, relates to any interest which—

(a)falls to be brought into account under Chapter 2 of Part 4 of the Finance Act 1996 (loan relationships) as accruing to any company at any time; and

(b)in consequence of, or of the terms of, the disposal, is not paid or payable to the company to which it is treated for the purposes of that Chapter as accruing.

(5) Where—

(a)there has been a reorganisation for the purposes of sections 126 to 132 of TCGA 1992, and

(b)for the purposes of those sections, the original asset mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) is treated as the original shares,

the reference in sub-paragraph (4) to the disposal of the original asset includes a reference to the disposal of the asset which, as a result of the reorganisation, has become the new holding for the purposes of those sections.

(6) For the purposes of TCGA 1992 the amount or value of the consideration for any disposal by a company of the original asset—

(a)shall be increased by the addition of any relevant exchange losses, and

(b)shall (after giving effect to any such increase) be reduced (but not below nil) by the deduction of any relevant exchange gains,

but this sub-paragraph does not apply in a case where paragraph 45F would apply but for sub-paragraph (2)(f) of that paragraph.

(7) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6), “relevant exchange gains” and “relevant exchange losses” are—

(a)the amount of any exchange gains or losses in respect of the original asset that are brought into account under Chapter 2 of Part 4 of the Finance Act 1996 by the company for an accounting period throughout which the company holds the original asset; and

(b)for any accounting period not falling within paragraph (a) in which the company holds the original asset, an amount which, on a just and reasonable apportionment, represents so much of the amount of any exchange gains or losses brought into account under that Chapter in respect of the original asset, by the company making the disposal, for that period as is referable to the part of the period for which the company holds the asset.

(8) Where the amount of the relevant exchange gains falling to be deducted under sub-paragraph (6)(b) exceeds the amount required to reduce the amount or value of the consideration to nil, the excess shall be treated for the purposes of section 38(1)(c) of TCGA 1992 as incidental costs of making the disposal of the original asset..
