(1)M8The provisions of this section apply where, after 5th April 1979 [F501and before 1st January 2003F501] , the trustees of an approved profit sharing scheme appropriate shares—
(a)which have previously been acquired by the trustees, and
(b)as to which the conditions in Part II of Schedule 9 are fulfilled,
to an individual who participates in the scheme (“the participant”).
(2)M9Notwithstanding that, by virtue of such an appropriation of shares as is mentioned in subsection (1) above, the beneficial interest in the shares passes to the participant to whom they are appropriated—
(a)the value of the shares at the time of the appropriation shall be treated as not being income of his chargeable to tax under Schedule E; and
(b)he shall not be chargeable to income tax under that Schedule by virtue of [F502section 78 or 79 of the Finance Act 1988 in respect of the sharesF502] or by virtue of section 162 in any case where the shares are appropriated to him at an undervalue within the meaning of that section.
(3)M10,F503Subject to the provisions of this section and paragraph 4 of Schedule 10, if, in respect of or by reference to any of a participant’s shares, the trustees become or the participant becomes entitled, before the release date, to receive any money or money’s worth (“a capital receipt”), . . . the appropriate percentage (determined as at the time the trustees become or the participant becomes so entitled) of so much of the amount or value of the receipt as exceeds the appropriate allowance for that year, as determined under subsection (12) below [F504 counts as employment income of the participant for the year of assessment in which the entitlement arisesF504] .
(4)M11,F505If the trustees dispose of any of a participant’s shares at any time before the release date or, if it is earlier, the date of the participant’s death, then, subject to subsections (6) and (7) below, . . . the appropriate percentage of the locked-in value of the shares at the time of the disposal [F506 counts as employment income of the participant for the year of assessment in which the disposal takes placeF506] .
(5)M12Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6(6) of Schedule 10, the locked-in value of a participant’s shares at any time is—
(a)if prior to that time he has become [F507 entitled to a capital receipt (within the meaning of subsection (3) above) which is referable to those shares and—
(i)an amount calculated by reference to that capital receipt counts as his employment income by virtue of subsection (3) above, or
(ii)if the entitlement to the capital receipt arose before 6th April 2003, he was chargeable to income tax by virtue of that subsection (as it had effect before that date) in respect of that capital receipt,F507]
the amount by which their initial market value exceeds the amount or value of that capital receipt or, if there has been more than one such receipt, the aggregate of them; and
(b)in any other case, their initial market value.
(6)Subject to subsection (7) below, if, on a disposal of shares falling within subsection (4) above, the proceeds of the disposal are less than the locked-in value of the shares at the time of the disposal, subsection (4) above shall have effect as if that locked-in value were reduced to an amount equal to the proceeds of the disposal.
(7)If, at any time prior to the disposal of any of a participant’s shares, a payment was made to the trustees to enable them to exercise rights arising under a rights issue, then, subject to subsection (8) below, subsections (4) and (6) above shall have effect as if the proceeds of the disposal were reduced by an amount equal to that proportion of that payment or, if there was more than one, of the aggregate of those payments which, immediately before the disposal, the market value of the shares disposed of bore to the market value of all the participant’s shares held by the trustees at that time.
(8)M13For the purposes of subsection (7) above—
(a)no account shall be taken of any payment to the trustees if or to the extent that it consists of the proceeds of a disposal of rights arising under a rights issue; and
(b)in relation to a particular disposal the amount of the payment or, as the case may be, of the aggregate of the payments referred to in that subsection shall be taken to be reduced by an amount equal to the total of the reduction (if any) previously made under that subsection in relation to earlier disposals;

(a)that the loan was made as part of a scheme under which not less than nine-tenths of the proceeds of the loan were applied to the purchase by the person to whom it was made of an annuity ending with his life or with the life of the survivor of two or more persons (“the annuitants”) who include the person to whom the loan was made;
(b)that at the time the loan was made the person to whom it was made or each of the annuitants had attained the age of 65 years;
(c)that the loan was secured on land in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland and the person to whom it was made or one of the annuitants owns an estate or interest in that land; and

[F1028(1AA)Where—
(a)a loan made on or after 9th March 1999 was made in pursuance of an offer made by the lender before that date, and
(b)the offer was either in writing or evidenced by a note or memorandum made by the lender before that date,
the loan shall be deemed for the purposes of subsection (1)(aa) above to have been made before that date.F1028]
[F1029(1AB)Subject to subsection (1AC) below, the conditions in paragraphs (aa) and (a) of subsection (1) above shall be treated as satisfied in relation to a loan (“the new loan”) if—

(c)the conditions in subsection (1) above were, or were treated by virtue of this subsection as, satisfied with respect to the old loan.
(1AC)If only part of the proceeds of the new loan was used to defray money applied in paying off the old loan, subsection (1AB) above applies only if, under the scheme, not less than nine-tenths of the remaining part of the proceeds of the new loan was applied to the purchase by the person to whom it was made of an annuity ending with his life or with the life of the survivor of two or more persons who include him.
(1AD)In subsection (1AC) above “the remaining part” means the part of the proceeds of the new loan that was not used to defray money applied in paying off the old loan.F1029]

(b)the intention at that time of the person to whom the loan was made, or each of the annuitants owning an estate or interest in the land, was to take steps, before the end of the period of twelve months after the day on which the land ceased to be so used, with a view to the disposal of his estate or interest.F1031]
(1B)If it appears to the Board reasonable to do so, having regard to all the circumstances of a particular case, they may direct that in relation to that case subsection (1A) above shall have effect as if for the reference to 12 months there were substituted a reference to such longer period as meets the circumstances of that case.F1030]

(4)The Management Act shall apply to an assessment under subsection (3) above as if it were an assessment to income tax for the year of assessment in which the deduction was made F1072. . . .

(4A)If there is any unreasonable delay in the giving of a notice under subsection (1) above, the borrower shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding so much of the aggregate amount that he is liable to make good under subsection (3) above as is attributable to that delay.F1075]
(5)M60If, as a result of receiving a notice under subsection (1) above or otherwise, a qualifying lender has reason to believe that any interest is no longer relevant loan interest or that a borrower is no longer a qualifying borrower, the lender shall furnish the Board with such information as is in his possession with respect to those matters.
(6)M61Where it appears to the Board that any of the provisions of sections 370 to 373 is not or may not be fulfilled with respect to any interest, or that a qualifying borrower has or may have ceased to be a qualifying borrower, they shall give notice of that fact to the lender and the borrower specifying the description of relevant loan interest concerned or, as the case may be, that the borrower has or may have ceased to be a qualifying borrower.
(7)Section 369 shall not apply to any payment of relevant loan interest of a description to which a notice under subsection (6) above relates and which becomes due or is made after such date as may be specified in the notice and before such date as may be specified in a further notice given by the Board to the lender and the borrower.

[F1585508AContemplative religious communities: profits exempt from corporation tax
(1)Subsection (2) applies in a case where members of a qualifying contemplative religious community transfer all their income and assets, or covenant all their income, to the community (“the independent community”) (and for this purpose it is irrelevant whether or not the community is part of an order or religious institution).
(2)As respects each chargeable period of the independent community, and each person who is a qualifying member of the independent community at any time in that period, the independent community shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax as if an amount of its profits for the chargeable period equal to the relevant amount (see subsections (5) to (7)) were income of the qualifying member.
(3)Subsection (4) applies in a case where—
(a)one or more qualifying contemplative religious communities (“constituent communities”) are part of an order or religious institution (“the parent body”), and
(b)members of the constituent communities transfer all their income and assets, or covenant all their income, to the parent body.
(4)As respects each chargeable period of the parent body, and each person who is a qualifying member of a constituent community at any time in that period, the parent body shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax as if an amount of its profits for the chargeable period equal to the relevant amount (see subsections (5) to (7)) were income of the qualifying member.
(5)For the purposes of subsections (2) and (4), the relevant amount, in relation to a chargeable period, is the amount of the annual personal allowance for persons [F1586born after 5 April 1948F1586] (see section 35 of ITA 2007) for—
(a)the tax year which begins in the chargeable period, or
(b)if no tax year begins in the chargeable period, the tax year which is current when the chargeable period begins.
(6)But, if the chargeable period is less than 12 months, the relevant amount is—
where—
P is the number of days in the chargeable period;
A is the amount determined under subsection (5) in relation to the chargeable period.
(7)If, during the chargeable period, an individual ceases to be a qualifying member of the independent community or a constituent community (otherwise than on death), the relevant amount, in relation to the chargeable period and that qualifying member, is—
where—
Q is the number of days in the chargeable period for which the individual is a qualifying member of the independent community or constituent community;
P is the number of days in the chargeable period;
B is the amount determined under subsection (5), or subsections (5) and (6), in relation to the chargeable period.
(8)So far as the exemption from corporation tax conferred by this section calls for repayment of tax, no repayment shall be made except on a claim made by the independent community or parent body.
(9)In a case where a member of an independent community or constituent community—
(a)has transferred or covenanted income to the community (in the case of an independent community) or the parent body (in the case of a constituent community), and
(b)has income for a tax year which does not exceed 20% of the annual personal allowance for persons [F1586born after 5 April 1948F1586] (see section 35 of ITA 2007) for that tax year,
the member is, for the purposes of this section, to be taken to have transferred or covenanted all his or her income for that tax year to the community or parent body.
(10)For the purposes of this section a contemplative religious community is a “qualifying” contemplative religious community if—
(a)the community is established in the United Kingdom,
(b)the members of the community live and practise their religion in a communal establishment, and
(c)the community is not a charity, but the religion that is professed by the members of the community does not prevent the community from being a charity.
(11)In this section—
“member”, in relation to a religious community, means an individual who—
(a)is living in the community, and
(b)has taken vows or made equivalent commitments (whether probationary or not);
“qualifying member”, in relation to a religious community, means a member of the community who—
(a)has been a member of the community for a period of at least six months, and
(b)has transferred all his or her income and assets, or covenanted all his or her income, to the community (in the case of an independent community) or the parent body (in the case of a constituent community).
508BContemplative religious communities: gains exempt from corporation tax
(1)Subsection (2) applies if, as respects a chargeable period—
(a)section 508A(2) applies in relation to an independent community,
(b)the profits of the independent community in the chargeable period are less than the total of the amounts that fall to be treated as income of the qualifying members of the community in accordance with section 508A(2), and
(c)the independent community has chargeable gains in the chargeable period.
(2)As respects the chargeable period and each qualifying member of the independent community, the community shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax as if the relevant amount of its chargeable gains for that period were income of the qualifying member.
(3)Subsection (4) applies if, as respects a chargeable period—
(a)section 508A(4) applies in relation to a parent body,
(b)the profits of the parent body in the chargeable period are less than the total of the amounts that fall to be treated as income of the qualifying members of the constituent communities in accordance with section 508A(4), and
(c)the parent body has chargeable gains in the chargeable period.
(4)As respects the chargeable period and each qualifying member of a constituent community, the parent body shall be treated for the purposes of corporation tax as if the relevant amount of its chargeable gains for that period were income of the qualifying member.
(5)For the purposes of subsections (2) and (4), the relevant amount, in relation to a qualifying member of the independent community or a constituent community, is the smaller of—
(a)the shortfall in profits, and
(b)the average gain.
(6)The shortfall in profits is the difference between—
(a)the relevant amount determined under section 508A(5) to (7) in relation to the qualifying member, and
(b)the amount that has actually been treated as the income of the qualifying member.
(7)The average gain is—
where—
G is the amount of the chargeable gains which the independent community or parent body has in the chargeable period;
N is the number calculated by adding together the relevant value for each qualifying member of the independent community or constituent communities who, under section 508A(2) or (4), falls to be treated as having income.
(8)For the purposes of calculating “N” in subsection (7)—
(a)the relevant value for a qualifying member is 1;
(b)but, if section 508A(7) applies in relation to the qualifying member, the relevant value for that member is—
where Q and P have the same meanings as in section 508A(7).
(9)So far as the exemption from corporation tax conferred by this section calls for repayment of tax, no repayment shall be made except on a claim made by the independent community or parent body.F1585]

CHAPTER V SCHEMES FOR RATIONALIZING INDUSTRY
568 Deductions from profits of contributions paid under certified schemes.
M73(1)F1744Notwithstanding anything contained in . . . [F1745section 33 of ITTOIA 2005F1745][F1746or section 53 of CTA 2009 (no deduction for capital expenditure)F1746] but subject to the following provisions of this Chapter, where a person pays, wholly and exclusively for the purposes of a trade in respect of which he is chargeable [F1747under Part 2 of ITTOIA 2005 or Part 3 of CTA 2009,F1747] a contribution in furtherance of a scheme which is for the time being certified by the Secretary of State under this section, the contribution shall, in so far as it is paid in furtherance of the primary object of the scheme, be allowed to be deducted as an expense in computing the [F1748profitsF1748] of that trade.
(2)The Secretary of State shall certify a scheme under this section if he is satisfied—
(a)that the primary object of the scheme is the elimination of redundant works or machinery or plant from use in an industry in the United Kingdom; and
(b)that the scheme is in the national interest and in the interests of that industry as a whole; and
(c)that such number of persons engaged in that industry as are substantially representative of the industry are liable to pay contributions in furtherance of the primary object of the scheme by agreement between them and the body of persons carrying out the scheme.
References in this subsection to an industry in the United Kingdom shall include references to the business carried on by owners of ships or of a particular class of ships, wherever that business is carried on, and, in relation to that business, references in this subsection to works or machinery or plant shall include references to ships.
(3)The Secretary of State shall cancel any certificate granted under this section if he ceases to be satisfied as to any of the matters referred to in subsection (2) above.
(4)The Secretary of State may at any time require the body of persons carrying out a scheme certified under this section to produce any books or documents of whatever nature relating to the scheme and, if the requirement is not complied with, he may cancel the certificate.
(5)In this section and in section 569 “contribution”, in relation to a scheme, does not include a sum paid by a person by way of loan or subscription of share capital, or in consideration of the transfer of assets to him, or by way of a penalty for contravening or failing to comply with the scheme.
569 Repayment of contributions.
M74(1)In the event of the repayment, whether directly or by way of distribution of assets on a winding up or otherwise, of a contribution or any part of a contribution which has been allowed to be deducted under section 568, the deduction of the contribution, or so much of it as has been repaid, shall be deemed to be an unauthorised deduction in respect of which an assessment shall be made, and, notwithstanding the provisions of the Tax Acts requiring assessments to be made within six years after the end of the chargeable period to which they relate, any such assessment and any consequential assessment may be made at any time within three years after the end of the chargeable period in which the repayment was made.
(2)For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
570 Payments under certified schemes which are not repayments of contributions.
M75(1)Subject to the provisions of this section, where, under any scheme which is for the time being certified or has at any time been certified by the Secretary of State under section 568, any payment (not being a payment made by way of repayment of contributions) is made to a person carrying on a trade to which the scheme relates, that payment shall be treated for the purposes of the Tax Acts as a trading receipt of the trade, and shall accordingly be taken into account in computing the [F1749profitsF1749] of the trade for those purposes.
(2)F1750Where . . . the payments which have been made under such a scheme in respect of a trade (not being payments made by way of repayment of contributions) have been made wholly or partly in respect of damage in respect of which no relief may be given under the Tax Acts, [F1751and a claim is made to that effect,F1751] then, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of [F1752Schedule 21F1752] —
(a)relief shall be given in respect of those payments by reducing the amounts which are to be treated as trading receipts of the trade under subsection (1) above; but
(b)where such relief is given, section 568 shall, in relation to contributions subsequently paid under the scheme in respect of the trade, have effect subject to the modifications specified in Part III of that Schedule,
[F1753and paragraph 6 of that Schedule applies for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of that Schedule.F1753]
(3)The provisions of this section and Schedule 21 shall apply in relation to any payment made to a person who has ceased to carry on a trade to which any such scheme as is mentioned in subsection (1) above relates as they apply in relation to payments made to a person carrying on such a trade, subject to the modification that so much of that payment as falls to be treated as a trading receipt by virtue of those provisions shall be deemed for the purposes of those provisions to have been made to him on the last day on which he was engaged in carrying on the trade.
(4)In determining for the purposes of this section and of Schedule 21—
(a)whether any trade has ceased to be carried on; or
(b)whether any contribution is paid in respect of a trade in respect of which a payment has been made; or
(c)whether any payment is made in respect of a trade in respect of which a contribution has been paid,
no regard shall be had to any event which, by virtue of [F1754section 18 of ITTOIA 2005 or section 41 of CTA 2009 (company starting or ceasing to be within charge to corporation tax) is to be treated as effecting a cessation of trading.F1754]
571 Cancellation of certificates.
M76(1)F1755Where any certificate granted with respect to a scheme under section 568 is cancelled by the Secretary of State, and any deductible contributions paid in furtherance of the scheme have not been repaid at the expiration of one year from the cancellation, the body of persons carrying out the scheme shall, for the chargeable period in which that year expires, be charged to tax . . . upon the aggregate amount of the deductible contributions which have not been repaid at that time.
[F1756(1A)An amount charged to income tax under subsection (1) above is treated for income tax purposes as an amount of income.F1756]
[F1757(1B)So far as relating to corporation tax, the charge to tax under subsection (1) has effect as an application of the charge to corporation tax on income.F1757]
(2)The charge to tax under subsection (1) above shall not be made if the total amount of any contributions, other than deductible contributions, which have been paid under the scheme and have not been repaid before that time is greater than the available resources of the scheme, and shall not in any case be made upon an amount greater than the excess, if any, of those resources over that total amount.
(3)In subsection (2) above “the available resources”, in relation to any scheme, means a sum representing the total funds held for the purposes of the scheme at the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate plus a sum representing any funds held for the purposes of the scheme which, during that year, have been applied otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted.
(4)Where the body of persons carrying out a scheme are charged to tax by virtue of subsection (1) above, and, after the expiration of one year from the cancellation of the certificate, any deductible contribution paid in furtherance of the scheme is repaid, the amount upon which the charge is made shall on the making of a claim be reduced by the amount repaid, and all such repayments of tax shall be made as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this subsection.
(5)In this section “contribution” includes a part of a contribution, and “deductible contribution” means a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568, any reduction under Part III of Schedule 21 being left out of account.
(6)For the purposes of this section, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
572 Application to statutory redundancy schemes.
M77(1)Sections 569 to 571 and Schedule 21 shall, subject to the adaptations specified in subsection (2) below, apply in relation to a statutory redundancy scheme as they apply in relation to a scheme certified under section 568.
(2)The adaptations referred to above are as follows, that is to say—
(a)for any reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568 there shall be substituted a reference to a contribution allowed to be deducted under any provision of the Tax Acts other than that section;
(b)any provision that section 568 shall, in relation to contributions, have effect subject to modifications, shall be construed as a provision that so much of any provision of the Tax Acts other than that section as authorises the deduction of contributions shall, in relation to the contributions in question, have effect subject to the modifications in question;
(c)for any reference to the cancellation of a certificate with respect to a scheme there shall be substituted a reference to the scheme ceasing to have effect; and
(d)for any reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the certificate was granted there shall be substituted a reference to the provisions of the scheme as in force when the contributions were first paid thereunder.
(3)In this section “statutory redundancy scheme” means a scheme for the elimination or reduction of redundant works, machinery or plant, or for other similar purposes, to which effect is given by or under any Act, whether passed before or after this Act.

(b)in the case of rights that accrued to a person before 6 April 2017, ignore increases in the value of the rights if in no tax year do they exceed the relevant percentage.
(6D)For the purposes of subsection (6A)(d)(ii), regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may make provision—
(a)for determining whether there is an increase in the value of a person's rights,

(2)Any deduction which was made before the expiration of one month from the passing of the resolution and which would, if the tax had been renewed at the rate imposed for the previous year, have been a legal deduction, shall be deemed to be a deduction rendered legal by section 2 of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1968 and that section shall, subject to this section, apply accordingly.
(3)Any over-deduction to be made good under that section may be made good by a reduction of the amount of tax deducted from the next payment of like nature made on the security in question after the passing of the Act imposing the tax for the year.

(12)In sub-paragraphs (8) to (11) above “associate”, in relation to an employee, does not include the trustees of an employee benefit trust by reason only that the employee has an interest in shares or obligations of the trust.F2855]

(b)he has obtained rights under a scheme established before that date to acquire shares in a company of which he is an employee or director (or a company of which such a company has control) using repayments made under the certified contractual savings scheme;
then, repayments and interest paid under the certified contractual savings scheme shall be treated as repayments and interest paid, under a scheme approved by the Board for the purposes of this Schedule under sub-paragraph (1) above, and, accordingly, may be used for the purchase of shares under a savings-related share option scheme approved under this Schedule.
(3)The repayments and interest to which sub-paragraph (2) above applies shall not exceed the repayments and interest to which the participant would have been entitled if the terms of the scheme had corresponded to those of a certified contractual savings scheme approved by the Board under sub-paragraph (1) above.
17M160Subject to paragraphs 18 to 21 below, the rights obtained under the scheme must not be capable of being exercised before the bonus date, that is to say, the date on which repayments under the certified contractual savings scheme are due; and for the purposes of this paragraph and paragraph 16 above—
(a)repayments under a certified contractual savings scheme may be taken as including or as not including a bonus;
(b)the time when repayments are due shall be, where repayments are taken as including the maximum bonus, the earliest date on which the maximum bonus is payable and, in any other case, the earliest date on which a bonus is payable under the scheme; and
(c)the question what is to be taken as so included must be required to be determined at the time when rights under the scheme are obtained.
18M161The scheme must provide that if a person who has obtained rights under the scheme dies before the bonus date the rights must be exercised, if at all, within 12 months after the date of his death and if he dies within six months after the bonus date the rights may be exercised within 12 months after the bonus date.
22M167Except as provided in paragraph 18 above, rights obtained by a person under the scheme must not be capable—

(4)Section 186(3) does not apply in relation to a capital receipt if the entitlement to it arises after the death of the participant to whose shares it is referable.
Company reconstructions
5(1)M195This paragraph applies where there occurs in relation to any of a participant’s shares (“the original holding”) a transaction which results in a new holding being equated with the original holding for the purposes of capital gains tax; and any such transaction is referred to below as a “company reconstruction”.

(a)a company reconstruction shall be treated as not involving a disposal of shares comprised in the original holding;
(b)the date on which any new shares are to be treated as having been appropriated to the participant shall be that on which the corresponding shares were appropriated; and
(c)the conditions in paragraphs 10 to 12 and 14 of Schedule 9 shall be treated as fulfilled with respect to any new shares if they were (or were treated as) fulfilled with respect to the corresponding shares.
(5)In relation to shares comprised in the new holding, section 186(5) shall apply as if the references in that subsection to the initial market value of the shares were references to their locked-in value immediately after the company reconstruction, which shall be determined as follows—

(b)distribute that amountpro rata among—
(i)such of those shares as remain in the new holding, and
(ii)any new shares in relation to which those shares are the corresponding shares, according to their market value immediately after the date of their reconstruction;

(6)For the purposes of the relevant provisions if, as part of a company reconstruction, trustees become entitled to a capital receipt, their entitlement to the capital receipt shall be taken to arise before the new holding comes into being and, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5) above, before the date on which the locked-in value of any shares comprised in the original holding falls to be ascertained.
(7)In the context of a new holding, any reference in this paragraph to shares includes securities and rights of any description which form part of the new holding for the purposes of Chapter II of Part IV of the [F29291992F2929] Act.

(2)In paragraph 5(2) to (6) above as applied by this paragraph—

(b)without prejudice to section 187(8), the event shall be treated as relating to shares which are not excess or unauthorised shares before shares which are.
(5)Excess or unauthorised shares which have not been disposed of before the release date or, if it is earlier, the date of the death of the participant whose shares they are, shall be treated for the purposes of the relevant provisions as having been disposed of by the trustees immediately before the release date or, as the case may require, the date of the participant’s death, for a consideration equal to their market value at that time.
(6)The locked-in value at any time of any excess or unauthorised shares shall be their market value at that time.
(7)Where there has been a company reconstruction to which paragraph 5 above applies, a new share (within the meaning of that paragraph) shall be treated as an excess or unauthorised share if the corresponding share (within the meaning of that paragraph) or, if there was more than one corresponding share, each of them was an excess or unauthorised share.

(2)Where a participant disposes of his beneficial interest in any of his shares to the trustees of the scheme and the trustees are deemed by virtue of section 186(9) to have disposed of the shares in question, this paragraph shall apply as if the consideration payable by the trustees to the participant on the disposal had been received by the trustees as the proceeds of disposal of shares falling within section 186(4).
(3)The company to which the payment mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above is to be made is the company—
(a)of which the participant is an employee or director at the time the trustees receive the sum of money referred to in that sub-paragraph, and
(b)whose employees are at that time eligible (subject to the terms of the scheme and Schedule 9) to be participants in the approved profit sharing scheme concerned,
and if there is more than one company which falls within paragraphs (a) and (b) above, such one of those companies as the Board may direct.

the other policy involved, or
if there is more than one other policy involved, the policy which ran for the most number of complete years.
(4)For the purposes of this paragraph the following are “relevant policies”—
(a)the policy to which the relevant event relates, and
(b)any other policy—
(i)which is a qualifying policy, and
(ii)under which the individual is a beneficiary.
(5)But neither a protected policy nor a pure protection policy is to be a relevant policy by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)(b).
(6)Sub-paragraph (7) applies if this paragraph is to be applied in the case of an individual in consequence of two or more events occurring at the same time (including where one or more of the events falls within paragraph A1(3) above and one or more of the events falls within paragraph A2(3) above).
(7)For the purpose of applying this paragraph in the case of the individual in consequence of any of the events, sub-paragraph (4)(a) has effect as if the reference to the policy to which the relevant event relates were a reference to all the policies to which the events, taken together, relate.
(8)But sub-paragraph (7) does not apply, and sub-paragraph (9) applies instead, if—
(a)all the policies in question are policies issued by the same issuer, and
(b)each of them has an unique identifier in a series of unique identifiers which the issuer gives to policies issued by it.
(9)For the purpose of applying this paragraph in the case of the individual in consequence of any of the events, an event relating to a policy (“policy A”) is treated as occurring before an event relating to another policy (“policy B”) if, in the issuer's series of unique identifiers, policy A's unique identifier comes before policy B's unique identifier.
Protected policies
A4(1)This paragraph applies for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.
(2)A policy is “protected” if—
(a)it is issued in respect of an insurance made before 21 March 2012, or
(b)it is issued in respect of an insurance made on or after 21 March 2012 where—
(i)it is a new policy in relation to an earlier policy,
(ii)it is issued in substitution for the earlier policy (and not on its maturity), and
(iii)the earlier policy is a protected policy (whether by virtue of paragraph (a) or this paragraph).
(3)A policy which is protected ceases to be protected if it becomes a restricted relief qualifying policy.
(4)A policy issued as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(b) is not protected if—
(a)its issue is an event falling within paragraph A2(3) above, and
(b)after that event it is a restricted relief qualifying policy.
How to determine if an individual is a beneficiary under a policy
A5(1)This paragraph applies for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule in determining if an individual is a beneficiary under a policy.
(2)An individual is a beneficiary under a policy if the individual beneficially owns—
(a)any rights under the policy, or
(b)any share in any rights under the policy.
(3)An individual is a beneficiary under a policy if—
(a)any rights under the policy are, or any share in any rights under the policy is, held on non-charitable trusts created by the individual, and
(b)those rights are, or that share is, not beneficially owned by any individual.
(4)The following provisions of ITTOIA 2005 apply for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(a)—
(a)section 465(6), and
(b)the definition of “non-charitable trust” in section 545(1).
(5)An individual is a beneficiary under a policy if—

Further definitions
A6(1)In this Part of this Schedule—
(a)“new policy” has the meaning given in paragraph 17 below,
(b)references to the variation of a policy are to a variation in relation to which paragraph 18 below applies,
(c)“pure protection policy” means a policy—
(i)which has no surrender value and is not capable of acquiring a surrender value, or

For this purpose, it does not matter if B is already a beneficiary under the policy.
(3)For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule an assignment is a “mortgage endowment assignment” if—
(a)the policy to which the assignment relates secures a capital sum payable either—
(i)on survival for a specified term, or
(ii)on earlier death or on earlier death or disability,
(b)the policy is issued and maintained for the sole purpose of ensuring that the borrower under an interest-only mortgage will have sufficient funds to repay the principal lent under the mortgage, and

General rules applicable to whole life and term assurances
1(1)M214 Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, if a policy secures a capital sum which is payable only on death, or one payable either on death or on earlier disability, it is a qualifying policy if—
(a)it satisfies the conditions appropriate to it under sub-paragraphs (2) to (5) below, and
(b)except to the extent permitted by sub-paragraph (7) below, it does not secure any other benefits.
(2)If the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable whenever the event in question happens, or if it happens at any time during the life of a specified person—
(a)the premiums under the policy must be payable at yearly or shorter intervals, and either—
(i)until the happening of the event or, as the case may require, until the happening of the event or the earlier death of the specified person, or
(ii)until the time referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above or the earlier expiry of a specified period ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance; and
(b)the total premiums payable in any period of 12 months must not exceed—
(i)twice the amount of the total premiums payable in any other such period, or
(ii)one-eighth of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to continue in force for a period of ten years from the making of the insurance, or, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (a) above, until the end of the period referred to in that sub-paragraph.
(3)If the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable only if the event in question happens before the expiry of a specified term ending more than ten years after the making of the insurance, or only if it happens both before the expiry of such a term and during the life of a specified person—
(a)the premiums under the policy must be payable at yearly or shorter intervals, and either—
(i)until the happening of the event or the earlier expiry of that term or, as the case may require, until the happening of the event or, if earlier, the expiry of the term or the death of the specified person, or
(ii)as in sub-paragraph (i) above, but with the substitution for references to the term of references to a specified shorter period being one ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance or, if sooner, the expiry of three-quarters of that term; and
(b)the total premiums payable in any period of 12 months must not exceed—
(i)twice the amount of the total premiums payable in any other such period, or
(ii)one-eighth of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to continue in force for the term referred to in sub-paragraph (i) of paragraph (a) above, or, as the case may require, for the shorter period referred to in sub-paragraph (ii) of that paragraph.
(4)If the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable only if the event in question happens before the expiry of a specified term ending not more than ten years after the making of the insurance, or only if it happens both before the expiry of such a term and during the life of a specified person, the policy must provide that any payment made by reason of its surrender during the period is not to exceed the total premiums previously paid under the policy.
(5)Except where—
(a)the capital sum referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above is payable only in the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) or (4) above; and
(b)the policy does not provide for any payment on the surrender in whole or in part of the rights conferred by it; and
(c)the specified term mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) or, as the case may be, (4) above ends at or before the time when the person whose life is insured attains the age of 75 years;
the capital sum, so far as payable on death, must not be less than 75 per cent. of the total premiums that would be payable if the death occurred at the age of 75 years, the age being, if the sum is payable on the death of the first to die of two persons, that of the older of them, if on the death of the survivor of them, that of the younger of them, and in any other case, that of the person on whose death it is payable; and if the policy does not secure a capital sum in the event of death occurring before the age of 16 or some lower age, it must not provide for the payment in that event of an amount exceeding the total premiums previously paid under it.
(6)M215 In determining for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5) above whether a capital sum is less than 75 per cent. of the total premiums, any amount included in the premiums by reason of their being payable otherwise than annually shall be disregarded, [F3100and if the policy provides for payment otherwise than annually without providing for the amount of the premiums if they are paid annually,F3100] 10 per cent. of the premiums payable under the policy shall be treated as so included.
(7)M216 Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (1)(b) above, if a policy secures a capital sum payable only on death, it may also secure benefits (including benefits of a capital nature) to be provided in the event of a person’s disability; and no policy is to be regarded for the purposes of that provision as securing other benefits by reason only of the fact that—
(a)it confers a right to participate in profits, or
(b)it provides for a payment on the surrender in whole or in part of the rights conferred by the policy, or
(c)it gives an option to receive payments by way of annuity, or
(d)it makes provision for the waiver of premiums by reason of a person’s disability, or for the effecting of a further insurance or insurances without the production of evidence of insurability.
(8)In applying sub-paragraph (2) or (3) above to any policy—
(a)no account shall be taken of any provision for the waiver of premiums by reason of a person’s disability, and
(b)if the term of the policy runs from a date earlier, but not more than three months earlier, than the making of the insurance, the insurance shall be treated as having been made on that date, and any premium paid in respect of the period before the making of the insurance, or in respect of that period and a subsequent period, as having been payable on that date.
(9)References in this paragraph to a capital sum payable on any event include references to any capital sum, or series of capital sums, payable by reason of that event but where what is so payable is either an amount consisting of one sum or an amount made up of two or more sums, the 75 per cent. mentioned in sub-paragraph (5) above shall be compared with the smaller or smallest amount so payable; and a policy secures a capital sum payable either on death or on disability notwithstanding that the amount payable may vary with the event.
(10)M217 In relation to any policy issued in respect of an insurance made before 1st April 1976 this paragraph shall have effect—
(a)with the omission of sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) and in sub-paragraph (9) the words “but where what is so payable is either an amount consisting of one sum or an amount made up of two or more sums, the 75 per cent. mentioned in sub-paragraph (5) above shall be compared with the smaller or smallest amount so payable”; and
(b)with the substitution, for sub-paragraph (7)(b), of—
“(b)it carries a guaranteed surrender value;”.
General rules applicable to endowment assurances
2(1)M218 Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, a policy which secures a capital sum payable either on survival for a specified term or on earlier death, or earlier death or disability, including a policy securing the sum on death only if occurring after the attainment of a specified age not exceeding 16, is a qualifying policy if it satisfies the following conditions—

(b)premiums must be payable under the policy at yearly or shorter intervals, and—
(i)until the happening of the event in question; or
(ii)until the happening of that event, or the earlier expiry of a specified period shorter than the term but also ending not earlier than ten years after the making of the insurance; or
(iii)if the policy is to lapse on the death of a specified person, until one of those times or the policy’s earlier lapse;
(c)the total premiums payable under the policy in any period of 12 months must not exceed—
(i)twice the amount of the total premiums payable in any other such period, or
(ii)one-eighth of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to run for the specified term;
(d)the policy—
(i)must guarantee that the capital sum payable on death, or on death occurring after the attainment of a specified age not exceeding 16, will, whenever that event may happen, be equal to 75 per cent. at least of the total premiums which would be payable if the policy were to run for that term, disregarding any amounts included in those premiums by reason of their being payable otherwise than annually, except that if, at the beginning of that term, the age of the person concerned exceeds 55 years, the capital sum so guaranteed may, for each year of the excess, be less by 2 per cent. of that total than 75 per cent. thereof, the person concerned being, if the capital sum is payable on the death of the first to die of two persons, the older of them, if on the death of the survivor of them, the younger of them and in any other case the person on whose death it is payable; and
(ii)if it is a policy which does not secure a capital sum in the event of death before the attainment of a specified age not exceeding 16, must not provide for the payment in that event of an amount exceeding the total premiums previously paid thereunder; and
(e)the policy must not secure the provision (except by surrender in whole or in part of the rights conferred by the policy) at any time before the happening of the event in question of any benefit of a capital nature other than a payment falling within paragraph (d)(ii) above, or benefits attributable to a right to participate in profits or arising by reason of a person’s disability.
(2)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(d)(i) above, 10 per cent. of the premiums payable under any policy [F3101that provides for the payment of premiums otherwise than annually without providing for the amount of the premiums if they are paid annually,F3101] shall be treated as attributable to the fact that they are not paid annually.
(3)Sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) of paragraph 1 above shall, with any necessary modifications, have effect for the purposes of this paragraph as they have effect for the purposes of that paragraph.
(4)M219 In relation to any policy issued in respect of an insurance made before 1st April 1976 this paragraph shall have effect with the omission in sub-paragraph (1)(d)(i) of the words from “except that if” to the end, and in sub-paragraph (1)(e) of the words “in whole or in part of the rights conferred by the policy”.

(10)References in this paragraph to a capital sum payable on any event include references to a capital sum or series of capital sums payable by reason of that event, but where what is so payable is either an amount consisting of one sum or an amount made up of two or more sums, any reference in sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) above to 75 per cent. of the total premiums payable in any circumstances shall be compared with the smaller or smallest amount so payable; and for the purposes of those sub-paragraphs a policy secures a capital sum payable either on death or on disability notwithstanding that the amount may vary with the event.
(11)For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) and (10) above, in the case of a policy which provides for any such payments as are referred to in sub-paragraph (3) above (“interim payments”), the amount of the capital sum which is payable on any event shall be taken to be increased—
(a)in the case of a policy which secures such a capital sum as is referred to in sub-paragraph (5) above, by the total of the interim payments which would be payable if the death of the relevant beneficiary (within the meaning of that sub-paragraph) occurred at the age of 75; and
(b)in the case of a policy which secures such a capital sum as is referred to in sub-paragraph (6) or (7) above, by the total of the interim payments which would be payable if the policy were to run for the specified term referred to in that sub-paragraph.
4(1)The provisions of this paragraph have effect notwithstanding anything in paragraph 3 above.
(2)In determining whether a policy—
(a)which affords provision for sickness or other infirmity (whether bodily or mental), and
(b)which also affords assurance for a gross sum independent of sickness or other infirmity, and
(c)under which not less than 60 per cent. of the amount of the premiums is attributable to the provision referred to in paragraph (a) above,
is a qualifying policy, the conditions referred to in paragraph 3(1)(b) above shall be deemed to be fulfilled with respect to it.
(3)A policy shall cease to be a qualifying policy—
(a)if it falls within sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 3 above and there is such a variation of its terms that any of the conditions referred to in that sub-paragraph ceases to be fulfilled; or
(b)if—
[F3112(i)it was effected in the course of [F3113the business of effecting or carrying out contracts of insurance which fall within paragraph 1 of Part I or paragraph VI of Part II of Schedule 1 to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001F3113],F3112]

(2)M222 Notwithstanding paragraphs 3 to 5 or sub-paragraph (1) above, if, on or after 19th March 1985, a person becomes in breach of the limits in [F3119section 160 of the Finance Act 2012F3119] , the policy effected by that contract which causes those limits to be exceeded shall not be a qualifying policy; and in any case where—
(a)the limits in that section are exceeded as a result of the aggregation of the sums assured or premiums payable under two or more contracts, and
(b)at a time immediately before one of those contracts was entered into (but not immediately after it was entered into) the sums assured by or, as the case may be, the premiums payable under the contract or contracts which were then in existence did not exceed the limits in that section,
only those policies effected by contracts made after that time shall be treated as causing the limits to be exceeded.

(ii) Industrial assurance policies
7(1)M223 A policy issued in the course of an industrial assurance business, and not constituting a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph 1 or 2 above, is nevertheless a qualifying policy if—

(b)it satisfies the conditions with respect to premiums specified in paragraph 1(2) above;
(c)except by reason of death or surrender, no capital sum other than one falling within paragraph (d) below can become payable under the policy earlier than ten years after the making of the assurance; and
(d)where the policy provides for the making of a series of payments during its term—

(ii)the amount of any payment, other than the final payment, does not exceed four-fifths of the premiums paid in the interval before its payment; or
(e)the policy was issued before 6th April 1976, or was issued before 6th April 1979 and is in substantially the same form as policies so issued before 6th April 1976.
(2)For the purposes of this paragraph, the sums guaranteed by a policy do not include any bonuses, or in the case of a policy providing for a series of payments during its term, any of those payments except the first, or any sum payable on death during the term by reference to one or more of those payments except so far as that sum is referable to the first such payment.
8M224 Where a policy issued in respect of an insurance made after 1st April 1976 in the course of an industrial assurance business is not a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph 1 or 2 above but is a policy with respect to which the conditions in paragraph 7(1)(b) and (c) above are satisfied, it shall be a qualifying policy whether or not the condition in paragraph 7(1)(a) above is satisfied with respect to it; but where that condition is not satisfied, relief under section 266 in respect of premiums paid under the policy shall be given only on such amount (if any) as would have been the amount of those premiums had that condition been satisfied.
[F31218AP4(1)Paragraphs 7 and 8 above shall have effect in relation to any policy issued on or after the appointed day as if the references to the issue of a policy in the course of an industrial assurance business were references to the issue of a policy by any company in a case in which—
(a)the company, before that day and in the course of such a business, issued any policy which was a qualifying policy by virtue of either of those paragraphs; and
(b)the policies which on 28th November 1995 were being offered by the company as available to be issued included policies of the same description as the policy issued on or after the appointed day.

9(1)M225 The following provisions apply to any policy which is not a qualifying policy apart from those provisions, and the benefits secured by which consist of or include the payment on or after a person’s death of—
(a)one capital sum which does not vary according to the date of death, plus a series of capital sums payable if the death occurs during a specified period, or
(b)a capital sum, the amount of which is less if the death occurs in a later part of a specified period than if it occurs in an earlier part of that period.
(2)A policy falling within sub-paragraph (1)(a) above is a qualifying policy if—
(a)it would be one if it did not secure the series of capital sums there referred to, and the premiums payable under the policy were such as would be chargeable if that were in fact the case, and
(b)it would also be one if it secured only that series of sums, and the premiums thereunder were the balance of those actually so payable.
(3)A policy falling within sub-paragraph (1)(b) above is a qualifying policy if—
(a)it would be one if the amount of the capital sum there referred to were equal throughout the period to its smallest amount, and the premiums payable under the policy were such as would be chargeable if that were in fact the case, and
(b)it would also be one if it secured only that capital sum so far as it from time to time exceeds its smallest amount, and the premiums payable thereunder were the balance of those actually so payable.
Other special provisions
(i) Short-term assurances
10M226 A policy which secures a capital sum payable only on death or payable either on death or on earlier disability shall not be a qualifying policy if the capital sum is payable only if the event in question happens before the expiry of a specified term ending less than one year after the making of the insurance.

(b)any provision under which, on those grounds, any sum may become chargeable as a debt against the capital sum guaranteed by the policy on death [F3124or disabilityF3124] .
(iv) Connected policies
13M229 Subject to paragraph 14 below, where the terms of any policy provide that it is to continue in force only so long as another policy does so, neither policy is a qualifying policy unless, if they had constituted together a single policy issued in respect of an insurance made at the time of the insurance in respect of which the first-mentioned policy was issued, that single policy would have been a qualifying policy.
14(1)A policy shall not be a qualifying policy if the policy is connected with another policy and the terms of either policy provide benefits which are greater than would reasonably be expected if any policy connected with it were disregarded.
(2)For the purposes of this paragraph a policy is connected with another policy if they are at any time simultaneously in force and either of them is issued with reference to the other, or with a view to enabling the other to be issued on particular terms or facilitating its being issued on those terms.

(a)in sub-paragraph (1) for the words “and the terms of either policy” of the words “ the terms of which ”;
(b)in sub-paragraph (3) for the words from “long term business” to “1982” of the words “ ordinary long-term insurance business within the meaning of section 83(2) of the Insurance Companies Act 1974 (as enacted) or, in relation to a policy made after 25th March 1982, section 96(1) of the Insurance Companies Act 1982 ”; and

(10)Sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) above do not apply in relation to policies issued in the course of industrial assurance business.
(v) Premiums paid out of sums due under previous policies
15(1)M230 Where, in the case of a policy under which a single premium only is payable, liability for the payment of that premium is discharged in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) below, the policy is a qualifying policy notwithstanding anything in paragraph 1(2) or (3) or paragraph 2(1)(b) or (c) above; and where, in the case of any other policy, liability for the payment of the first premium thereunder, or of any part of that premium, is so discharged, the premium or part shall be disregarded for the purposes of paragraphs 1(2)(b) and (3)(b) and 2(1)(c) above.
(2)Liability for the payment of a premium is discharged in accordance with this sub-paragraph if it is discharged by the retention by the company with which the insurance is made of the whole or a part of any sum which has become payable on the maturity of, or on the surrender more than ten years after its issue of the rights conferred by, a policy—
(a)previously issued by the company to the person making the insurance, or, if it is made by trustees, to them or any predecessors in office; or
(b)issued by the company when the person making the insurance was an infant, and securing a capital sum payable either on a specified date falling not more than one month after his attaining 25, or on the anniversary of the policy immediately following his attainment of that age,
being, unless it is a policy falling within paragraph (b) above and the premium in question is a first premium only, a policy which was itself a qualifying policy, or which would have been a qualifying policy had it been issued in respect of an insurance made after 19th March 1968.
(vi) Additional premiums under section 72(9) of the Ginance Act 1984
16M231 In determining whether a policy is a qualifying policy, no account shall be taken of any amount recovered, as if it were an additional premium, in pursuance of section 72(9) of the Finance Act 1984.
(viii) Substituitions and variations
17(1)M232 Subject to paragraph 19 below, where one policy (“the new policy”) is issued in substitution for, or on the maturity of and in consequence of an option conferred by, another policy (“the old policy”), the question whether the new policy is a qualifying policy shall, to the extent provided by the rules in sub-paragraph (2) below, be determined by reference to both policies.
(2)The rules (for the purposes of which, the question whether the old policy was a qualifying policy shall be determined in accordance with this Part of this Schedule, whatever the date of the insurance in respect of which it was issued), are as follows—
[F3128(za)the new policy cannot be a qualifying policy if the old policy was not a qualifying policy by virtue of—
(i)paragraph A1(2), B1(2), B2(2) or B3(3) above, or
(ii)sub-paragraph (i) above or this sub-paragraph;F3128]
(a)if the new policy would apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy but the old policy was [F3129not [F3130and paragraph (za) above does not applyF3130],F3129] the new policy is not a qualifying policy unless the person making the insurance in respect of which it is issued was an infant when the old policy was issued, and the old policy was one securing a capital sum payable either on a specified date falling not later than one month after his attaining 25 or on the anniversary of the policy immediately following his attainment of that age;
(b)if the new policy would apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy, and the old policy was also a qualifying policy, the new policy is a qualifying policy unless—
(i)it takes effect before the expiry of ten years from the making of the insurance in respect of which the old policy was issued, and
(ii)subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, the highest total of premiums payable thereunder for any period of 12 months expiring before that time is less than one half of the highest total paid for any period of 12 months under the old policy, or under any related policy issued less than ten years before the issue of the new policy (“ ” meaning any policy in relation to which the old policy was a new policy within the meaning of this paragraph, any policy in relation to which that policy was such a policy, and so on);
(c)if the new policy would not apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy, and would fail to be so by reason only of paragraph 1(2) or (3) or 2(1)(a), (b) or (c) above, it is nevertheless a qualifying policy if the old policy was a qualifying policy and—
(i)the old policy was issued in respect of an insurance made more than ten years before the taking effect of the new policy, and, subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, the premiums payable for any period of 12 months under the new policy do not exceed the smallest total paid for any such period under the old policy; or
(ii)the old policy was issued outside the United Kingdom, and the circumstances are as specified in sub-paragraph (3) below.
(3)M233 The circumstances are—
(a)where the new policy referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(c) above is issued after 22nd February 1984, that the policy holder under the new policy became resident in the United Kingdom during the 12 months ending with the date of its issue;
(b)where paragraph (a) above does not apply, that the person in respect of whom the new insurance is made became resident in the United Kingdom during the 12 months ending with the date of its issue;
(c)that the issuing company certify that the new policy is in substitution for the old, and that the old was issued either by a [F3131permanent establishmentF3131] of theirs outside the United Kingdom or by a company outside the United Kingdom with whom they have arrangements for the issue of policies in substitution for ones held by persons coming to the United Kingdom; and
(d)that the new policy confers on the holder benefits which are substantially equivalent to those which he would have enjoyed if the old policy had continued in force.
(4)M234 Where the new policy is one issued on or after 1st April 1976 then, in determining under sub-paragraph [F3132(2)(a) to (c)F3132] above whether that policy would or would not (apart from sub-paragraphs (1) to (3) above) be a qualifying policy, there shall be left out of account so much of the first premium payable thereunder as is accounted for by the value of the old policy.
[F3133(5)In determining under sub-paragraph (2)(a) to (c) above whether the new policy would apart from this paragraph be a qualifying policy, paragraph A1 above is not to be applied in relation to the issue of the new policy; but this does not stop that paragraph being applied in relation to the issue of the new policy after this paragraph has been applied.F3133]
18P5(1)M235 Subject to paragraph 19 below and to the provisions of this paragraph, where the terms of a policy are varied, the question whether the policy after the variation is a qualifying policy shall be determined in accordance with the rules in paragraph 17 above, with references in those rules to the new policy and the old policy construed for that purpose as references respectively to the policy after the variation and the policy before the variation, and with any other necessary modifications.
(2)In applying any of those rules by virtue of this paragraph, the question whether a policy after a variation would be a qualifying policy apart from the rule shall be determined as if any reference in paragraphs [F31341, 2, 3(5) to (11), 4 to 9F3134] , 12 and 13 above to the making of an insurance, or to a policy’s term, were a reference to the taking effect of the variation or, as the case may be, to the term of the policy as from the variation.
(3)This paragraph does not apply by reason of—
(a)any variation which, whether or not of a purely formal character, does not affect the terms of a policy in any significant respect, or
(b)any variation effected before the end of the year 1968 for the sole purpose of converting into a qualifying policy any policy issued (but not one treated, by virtue of paragraph 8(1) and (2) of Schedule 14, as issued) in respect of an insurance made after 19th March 1968, [F3135 or
(c)any variation so as to increase the benefits secured or reduce the premiums payable which is effected—
(i)on or after such day as the Board may by order appoint, and
(ii)in consideration of a change in the method of payment of premiums from collection by a person collecting premiums from house to house to payment by a different methodF3135][F3136, or
(d)any variation which alters the method for calculating the benefits secured by the policy.F3136]
[F3137(4)For the purposes of this paragraph there is no variation in the terms of a policy where—
(a)an amount of premium chargeable on the grounds that an exceptional risk of death or disability is involved becomes or ceases to be payable, or
(b)the policy is amended by the insertion, variation or removal of a provision under which, on those grounds, any sum may become chargeable as a debt against the capital sum guaranteed by the policy on death or disability.F3137]
19(1)M236 The following provisions of this paragraph shall have effect for determining for the purposes of this Schedule whether a policy has been varied or whether a policy which confers on the person to whom it is issued an option to have another policy substituted for it or to have any of its terms changed is a qualifying policy.
(2)If the policy is one issued in respect of an insurance made before 1st April 1976—
(a)any such option shall, until it is exercised, be disregarded in determining whether the policy is a qualifying policy; and
(b)any change in the terms of the policy which is made in pursuance of such an option shall be deemed to be a variation of the policy.
(3)If the policy is one issued in respect of an insurance made on or after 1st April 1976, the policy shall not be a qualifying policy unless it satisfies the conditions applicable to it under this Schedule before any such option is exercised and—
(a)each policy that might be substituted for it in pursuance of such an option would satisfy those conditions under the rules of paragraph 17 above; and
(b)the policy would continue to satisfy those conditions under the rules of that paragraph as applied by paragraph 18 above if each or any of the changes capable of being made in pursuance of such an option had been made and were treated as a variation;
and it shall not be treated as being varied by reason only of any change made in pursuance of such an option.
20(1)M237 Where, as a result of a variation in the life or lives for the time being assured, a qualifying policy (“the earlier policy”) is replaced by a new policy (“the later policy”) which in accordance with the rules in paragraph 17 above is also a qualifying policy, then, subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, for the purposes of—
(a)F3138sections 268 to 270 . . . ; and
(b)any second or subsequent application of this paragraph;
the later policy and the earlier policy shall be treated as a single policy issued in respect of an insurance made at the time of the making of the insurance in respect of which the earlier policy was issued; and, accordingly, so long as the later policy continues to be a qualifying policy, the single policy shall also be treated as a qualifying policy for those purposes.
(2)Sub-paragraph (1) above does not apply unless—
(a)any sum which would otherwise become payable by the insurer on or in connection with the coming to an end of the earlier policy is retained by the insurer and applied in the discharge of some or all of the liability for any premium becoming due under the later policy; and
(b)no consideration in money or money’s worth (other than the benefits for which provision is made by the later policy) is receivable by any person on or in connection with the coming to an end of the earlier policy or the coming into existence of the later policy.
(3)Any sum which is applied as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) above—
(a)F3139,F3140shall be left out of account in determining, for the purposes of sections 268 to 270 . . . , the total amount which at any time has been paid by way of premiums under the single policy referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above; . . .
(b)F3140. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(4)This paragraph applies where the later policy comes into existence on or after 25th March 1982.
[F3141(viii) Policy reinstated after non-payment of premium
20ZA(1)This paragraph applies to a qualifying policy (“the original policy”) if conditions A to D are satisfied.
(2)Condition A is that one or more premiums due under the original policy are not paid on or before the date on which they become due.
(3)Condition B is that the original policy, in accordance with its terms, is treated as having lapsed or is converted into a paid-up policy—
(a)by reason only of the failure to pay that premium or those premiums, and
(b)within the period of 12 months beginning with the day following the day on which the earliest unpaid premium becomes due.
(4)Condition C is that the original policy—
(a)is reinstated on the same terms, or
(b)is replaced by another policy in the same terms (“the replacement policy”),
on or before the thirtieth day after the first anniversary of the day following the day on which the earliest unpaid premium becomes due.
(5)Condition D is that all unpaid premiums due under the original policy are paid on or before the date on which the policy is reinstated or replaced.
(6)Where condition C is satisfied by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)(b) the replacement policy is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as if it were the original policy.
(7)The policy is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as if the premiums payable under it had been paid on their due dates.F3141]

(b)the new policy is not a new non-resident policy as defined in that paragraph,
the rules for the determination of the question whether the new policy is a qualifying policy shall apply with the modifications in sub-paragraph (2) below.
[F3151(2)The modifications are the following—
(a)if, apart from paragraph 24, the old policy or any related policy (within the meaning of paragraph 17(2)(b)) of which account falls to be taken would have been a qualifying policy, that policy shall be assumed to have been a qualifying policy for the purposes of paragraph 17(2); and
(b)if, apart from this paragraph, the new policy would be a qualifying policy, it shall not be such a policy unless the circumstances are as specified in paragraph 17(3); and
(c)in paragraph 17(3)(c) the words “either by a [F3152permanent establishmentF3152] of theirs outside the United Kingdom or” shall be omitted;
and references in this sub-paragraph to being a qualifying policy shall have effect, in relation to any time before [F3153the appointed date for the purposes of section 55 of the Finance Act 1995 (removal of certification requirements)F3153], as including a reference to being capable of being certified as such a policy.F3151]
[F3154(2A)In determining for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(a) above whether a policy would, apart from paragraph 24, have been a qualifying policy, paragraphs A1 and B1 to B3 above are to be ignored.
(But this does not affect the application of any of those paragraphs in relation to the new policy.)F3154]
(3)In the application of paragraph 17 in any case where—
(a)the old policy is a qualifying policy which was issued in respect of an insurance made on or before 17th November 1983 but, if the insurance had been made after that date, the policy could not have been a qualifying policy by virtue of paragraph 24, and
(b)the new policy is issued after that date and is not a new non-resident policy, as defined in paragraph 24,
the rules for the determination of the question whether the new policy is a qualifying policy shall apply with the modification in sub-paragraph (2)(c) above.
26If, in the case of a substitution of policies falling within paragraph 25(1) or (3), the new policy confers such an option as results in the application to it of paragraph 19(3), the new policy shall be treated for the purposes of paragraph 19(3) as having been issued in respect of an insurance made on the same day as that on which was made the insurance in respect of which the old policy was issued.
27(1)For the purposes of Part I and [F3155paragraphF3155] 24, a policy of life insurance which was issued—
(a)in respect of an insurance made on or before 17th November 1983, and
(b)by a company resident outside the United Kingdom,
shall be treated as issued in respect of an insurance made after that date if the policy is varied after that date so as to increase the benefits secured or to extend the term of the insurance.
(2)If a policy of life insurance which was issued as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) and (b) above confers on the person to whom it is issued an option to have another policy substituted for it or to have any of its terms changed, then for the purposes of that sub-paragraph any change in the terms of the policy which is made in pursuance of the option shall be deemed to be a variation of the policy.

(6)If this paragraph applies in relation to a 1986 accounting period of a dual resident investing company which is an investment company, then, for the purposes referred to in sub-paragraph (5) above—
(a)the amount which may be deducted as expenses of management for that period, as mentioned in section 403(4), shall be computed as if any sum falling within sub-paragraph (3)(b) above had not been disbursed; and

the interest or other payment shall, if the Board so direct, be treated for the purposes of this Chapter and, where appropriate, paragraph 3 above as paid in the post-1986 accounting period referred to in paragraph (a) or, as the case may be, paragraph (b) above.
(2)The Board shall not give a direction under this paragraph unless it appears to them that the sole or main benefit that might be expected to accrue from the early payment or, as the case may be, from the arrangements was that (apart from the direction) the interest or other payment would be attributed or apportioned to a 1986 accounting period rather than a post-1986 accounting period, so that, for the 1986 accounting period, the dual resident investing company would have an amount or, as the case may be, a larger amount available for surrender by way of group relief.

PART I DETERMINATION OF RELEVANT INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Relevant income
1M242(1)Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the relevant income of a company for an accounting period is—
(a)in the case of a company which is a trading company or a member of a trading group, so much of its distributable income, other than trading income, for that period as can be distributed without prejudice to the requirements of the company’s business;
(b)in the case of a company not within paragraph (a)above whose distributable income for that period consists of or includes estate or trading income—
(i)so much of the estate or trading income as can be distributed without prejudice to the requirements of the company’s business so far as concerned with the activities or assets giving rise to estate or trading income; and
(ii)its distributable income, if any, other than estate or trading income;
(c)in the case of any other company, its distributable income for that period .
(2)M243In arriving at the relevant income for any accounting period—
(a)where under sub-paragraph (1)above regard is to be had to the requirements of a company’s business, regard shall be had not only to the current requirements of the business but also to such other requirements as may be necessary or advisable for the maintenance and development of that business but, for this purpose, the provisions of paragraph 8below shall apply;
(b)the amount of the estate or trading income shall be taken as the amount included in respect of it in the distributable income.
(3)M244In arriving at the relevant income for any accounting period of a company which is a trading company or a member of a trading group, regard shall be had not only to the current requirements of the company’s business and to such requirements as may be necessary or advisable for the maintenance and development of that business as fall within sub-paragraph (2)(a)above, but also to any other requirements necessary or advisable for the acquisition of a trade or of a controlling interest in a trading company or in a company which is a member of a trading group by virtue of paragraph 7(2)(a)below; but, for this purpose, paragraph 9below shall apply.
(4)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)above, the acquisition of a controlling interest in a company means the acquisition, whether on a single occasion or otherwise, of such ordinary share capital of that company as enables the acquiring company to exercise the greater part of the voting power in that company.
(5)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)above, the requirements of a company’s business which are necessary or advisable for such an acquisition as is mentioned in that sub-paragraph include such requirements as are necessary or advisable for—
(a)the redemption or repayment of any share or loan capital or debt (including any premium thereon)issued or incurred in or towards payment for that acquisition, or issued or incurred for the purpose of raising money to be applied in or towards payment therefor, or
(b)meeting any obligation of the company in respect of that acquisition,
so far as any sum so expended or applied, or intended to be expended or applied, does not fall to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as a distribution by the company.
Maximum amount of relevant income
2(1)M245Subject to paragraphs 10and 12below, the relevant income of a company shall in no case be taken to exceed the company’s distributable investment income for the accounting period plus 50per cent. of the estate or trading income for the period.
(2)M246In the application of sub-paragraph (1)above to a company which is a trading company or a member of a trading group, the trading income shall be disregarded; and in the application of that sub-paragraph to a trading company, the estate income—
(a)if it is less than the appropriate fraction of the relevant maximum amount, shall be treated as reduced by one-half of the amount required to make it up to that fraction of the relevant maximum amount; or
(b)if it is less than the appropriate fraction of the relevant minimum amount, shall be disregarded;
and in this sub-paragraph the appropriate fraction is—
where—
Ais the amount of the estate income, and
Bis the amount of the trading income.
(3)M247The relevant maximum and minimum amounts referred to above shall be determined as follows—
(a)where the company has no associated company in the accounting period, those amounts are £75,000and £25,000respectively;
(b)where the company has one or more associated companies in the accounting period—
(i)the relevant maximum amount is—
(ii)the relevant minimum amount is—
where Xis the number of those associated companies.
(4)M248In applying sub-paragraphs (2)and (3)above to any accounting period of a trading company, an associated company shall be disregarded if—
(a)it was not a trading company, or has not carried on any trade, at any time in that accounting period; or
(b)where it was an associated company during part only of that accounting period, it was not a trading company, or has not carried on any trade, at any time in that part of that accounting period;
and for the purposes of this paragraph a company is to be treated as an associated company of another at a given time if at that time one of the two has control of the other or both are under the control of the same person or persons.
(5)M249In determining how many associated companies a trading company has in an accounting period or whether a trading company has an associated company in an accounting period, an associated company shall be counted even if it was an associated company for part only of the accounting period, and two or more associated companies shall be counted even if they were associated companies for different parts of the accounting period.
(6)For an accounting period of less than 12months the relevant maximum and minimum amounts determined in accordance with sub-paragraphs (1)to (5)above shall be proportionately reduced.
Distributions
3(1)M250For the purposes of this Chapter the distributions of a company for an accounting period shall, subject to sub-paragraphs (2)to (4)and paragraph 12below, be taken to consist of—
(a)any dividends which are declared in respect of the period and are paid during the period or within a reasonable time thereafter;
(b)all distributions made in the period except dividends which, in relation to any previous period, would fall under paragraph (a)above; and
(c)M251anything that would be a distribution but for section 213or 219 (or both).
(2)M252Where a period of account is not an accounting period, dividends which, if it were an accounting period, would be treated under sub-paragraph (1)(a)above as distributions for that accounting period shall be apportioned to any accounting period or part of an accounting period falling within the period of account in proportion to the distributable income of each such period or part.
(3)M253For the purposes of determining whether there is any such excess as is referred to in section 424(1),no account shall be taken of a distribution which, in relation to the company making it, is a bonus distribution unless—
(a)it is made to a person other than a close company, or
(b)it is made to a close company and the share capital or security of which it consists is subsequently distributed, by that or any other close company, by a distribution falling within section 14(2)(b)to a person other than a close company.
(4)Where a bonus distribution has occurred and, by virtue of paragraph (a)or paragraph (b)of sub-paragraph (3)above, it falls to be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether there is any such excess as is referred to in section 424(1),no account shall be taken for that purpose of a qualifying distribution which consists of the repayment of the share capital or, as the case may be, the principal of the security, which constituted the bonus distribution.
(5)In sub-paragraphs (3)and (4)above “bonus distribution” means a distribution which in relation to the company making it is a distribution by virtue only of paragraph (c)of section 209(2).
Distributable income and estate or trading income
4(1)M254For the purposes of this Chapter, the distributable income of a company for an accounting period shall be the amount of its distributable profits for the period exclusive of the part attributable to chargeable gains; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph—
(a)the distributable profits of a company for an accounting period shall be the aggregate of the following amounts, that is to say—
(i)the amount of any profits on which corporation tax falls finally to be borne, less the amount of that tax;
(ii)an amount equal to the qualifying distributions comprised in any franked investment income, other than franked investment income against which relief is given under section 242or 243;and
(iii)an amount equal to any group income ;
(b)the part of a company’s distributable profits attributable to chargeable gains shall be taken to be the amount of the chargeable gains on which corporation tax is finally borne less the amount of that tax; and
(c)the amount on which corporation tax falls finally to be borne (but not the amount of that tax)shall be computed as if section 242did not include subsection (5)or (6)of that section (and as if section 243did not apply section 242(5)) ;
and for the purposes of sub-paragraph (a)(ii)above relief under section 242or 243shall be treated as having been given first against franked investment income which is not trading income and secondly, so far as it cannot be so given, against franked investment income which is trading income.

(2)Any post-commencement supplement allowed on a claim in respect of a post-commencement period shall be treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts (other than this Part of [F3455this Schedule or [F3456sections 321 to 329 of CTA 2010F3456])F3455] as if it were a loss—
(a)incurred in carrying on the ring fence trade in that period,
(b)which falls in whole to be set off under section 393 against trading income from the ring fence trade in succeeding accounting periods.

(2)If the post-commencement period is a period of less than twelve months, the amount of the supplement for the period (apart from this sub-paragraph) shall be reduced proportionally.
[F3457(2A)But, if the post-commencement period is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) ending before 1st January 2006, sub-paragraph (2) has no effect in relation to the amount of the supplement for that period.F3457]

Ring fence losses and qualifying E&A losses
17(1)Where—
(a)in any post-commencement period (“the period of the loss”) a qualifying company carrying on a ring fence trade incurs a loss in the trade, and
(b)some or all of the loss falls to be set off under section 393 against trading income from the trade in succeeding accounting periods,
so much of the loss as falls to be so set off is a “ring fence loss” of the company.
(2)In determining for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule how much of a loss incurred in a ring fence trade falls to be set off as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b), it shall be assumed—
[F3458(a)F3458]that every claim is made that could be made by the company under section 393A to set losses incurred in the ring fence trade against ring fence profits of earlier post-commencement periods, [F3459and
(b)that (where appropriate) section 393B applies in relation to every such claim.F3459]
(3)So much of a ring fence loss as is attributable to qualifying E&A allowances for the period of the loss is a “qualifying E&A loss”.
(4)A ring fence loss is attributable to qualifying E&A allowances to the extent that the amount of the ring fence loss does not exceed the amount of the qualifying E&A allowances for the period of the loss.
(5)But a claim for post-commencement supplement may include an election for a ring fence loss to be treated—
(a)as attributable to qualifying E&A allowances for the period of the loss to such lesser extent as may be specified in the election, or
(b)as not attributable to such allowances.
(6)“Qualifying E&A allowances”, in the case of an accounting period, means allowances for that period under Part 6 of the Capital Allowances Act in respect of qualifying E&A expenditure incurred by the company (including any pre-commencement supplement treated under paragraph 9(2) as such an allowance).
(7)This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.
Ring fence losses and non-qualifying losses
18(1)So much of a ring fence loss as is not a qualifying E&A loss is a non-qualifying loss.

(a)a loss was incurred by a qualifying company in its ring fence trade in an accounting period ending on or before 31st December 2003, and
(b)some or all of that loss falls to be set off under section 393 against profits of that trade in accounting periods ending on or after that date,
so much of the loss as falls to be so set off is a ring fence loss and that loss is a non-qualifying loss.
(3)This paragraph has effect for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.
Special rule for straddling periods
[F346018A(1)This paragraph applies in any case where the period of the loss in which a ring fence loss is incurred is the deemed accounting period under paragraph 3(3) ending before 1st January 2006.
(2)The following assumption shall be made for the purpose of calculating the amount of the qualifying E&A loss and the amount of the non-qualifying loss.
(3)The assumption is that the loss made in the trade is taken to be the loss incurred in the accounting period beginning before 1st January 2006 and ending on or after that date (disregarding paragraph 3(3)).
(4)The amount of the non-qualifying loss (found in accordance with that assumption) is then reduced (but not below nil) by the following amount.
(5)The amount is the amount of the ring fence loss in the deemed accounting period beginning on 1st January 2006 determined under [F3461section 324 of CTA 2010F3461].F3460]
The pool of qualifying E&A losses and the pool of non-qualifying losses
19(1)For the purpose of determining the amount of any post-commencement supplement, a qualifying company shall be taken at all times in its post-commencement periods to have—
(a)a continuing pool of the company’s non-qualifying losses (the “non-qualifying pool”), and
(b)a continuing mixed pool of the company’s qualifying E&A losses and post-commencement supplement (the “qualifying pool”).
(2)A pool continues even if the amount in it is nil.
The non-qualifying pool
20(1)The non-qualifying pool consists of the company’s non-qualifying losses, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2).
(2)A non-qualifying loss is allocated to the pool by adding the amount of the non-qualifying loss to the pool in the period of the loss.
(3)In the case of a non-qualifying loss incurred in an accounting period ending on or before 31st December 2003, the period of the loss shall be taken for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) to be the first accounting period of the company that ends on or after 1st January 2004.
(4)The amount in the non-qualifying pool is subject to reductions in accordance with the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule.
(5)Where a reduction in the amount in the non-qualifying pool falls to be made in any accounting period—
(a)the reduction is to be made after the addition to the pool of any non-qualifying loss allocated to the pool in that period in accordance with sub-paragraph (2), and
(b)references to the amount in the non-qualifying pool shall be construed accordingly.
The qualifying pool
21(1)The qualifying pool consists of—
(a)the company’s qualifying E&A losses, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(a), and
(b)the company’s post-commencement supplement, allocated to the pool in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(b).
(2)The allocation of qualifying E&A losses and post-commencement supplement to the pool is as follows—
(a)the amount of a qualifying E&A loss is added to the pool in the period of the loss, and
(b)if any post-commencement supplement is allowed on a claim in respect of a post-commencement period, the amount of that supplement is added to the pool in that period.
(3)The amount in the qualifying pool is subject to reductions in accordance with the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule.
(4)Where a reduction in the amount in the qualifying pool falls to be made in any accounting period, the reduction is to be made—
(a)after the addition to the pool of the amount of any qualifying E&A losses allocated to the pool in that period in accordance with sub-paragraph (2)(a), but
(b)before determining, and adding to the pool, the amount of any supplement claimed in respect of the period,

SCHEDULE 21 TAX RELIEF IN CONNECTION WITH SCHEMES FOR RATIONALIZING INDUSTRY AND OTHER REDUNDANCY SCHEMES
M290PART I PRELIMINARY
1(1)In this Schedule—
“scheme” means a scheme which is for the time being certified or has at any time been certified by the Secretary of State under section 568;
“payment” means a payment made under a scheme, being a payment made to a person carrying on a trade to which the scheme relates and not being a payment made by way of repayment of contributions;
“the person chargeable” means, in relation to any such payment, the person liable to pay any tax which may fall to be paid by reason of the receipt of the payment;
“damage” includes any loss, liability, expense or other burden, and references to the amount of any damage are references to the sum which would be fair compensation for that damage;
“contribution” includes part of a contribution, and “deductible contribution” means a contribution allowed to be deducted under section 568, any reduction under Part III of this Schedule being left out of account; and
“asset” includes part of an asset.
(2)For the purposes of this Schedule, a sum received by any person by way of repayment of contributions shall be deemed to be by way of repayment of the last contribution paid by him, and, if the sum exceeds the amount of that contribution, by way of repayment of the penultimate contribution so paid, and so on.
PART II RELIEF IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS
2The question whether any, and if so, what, relief is to be given shall be determined separately in relation to each payment made under the scheme in respect of the trade, but for the purpose of determining that question regard shall be had, as provided by the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, to the sum (“the total payment”) produced by adding the amount of the payment to the amount of any payments previously so made.
3F3490. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
4No relief shall be given in respect of the payment unless the total payment, or the amount of the damage in respect of which the total payment has been made, whichever is the smaller, exceeds the aggregate amount of the deductible contributions which have been paid in furtherance of the scheme in respect of the trade in question before the payment is made, exclusive of any contributions which have been repaid before the payment is made.
5The amount of the reduction to be made in respect of the payment shall be arrived at by—
(a)ascertaining the sum which bears to the excess mentioned in paragraph 4 above the same proportion that the amount mentioned in paragraph 3(b) above bears to the amount mentioned in paragraph 3(a); and
(b)deducting from that sum the total amount of any reductions which have been or fall to be made under this Schedule in respect of payments previously made under the scheme in respect of the trade.
6(1)For the purposes of this Schedule, and subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, damage shall be deemed to be damage in respect of which relief may be given under the Tax Acts if and only if—
(a)the damage is attributable to any of the following events, that is to say, the demolition, destruction or putting out of use of any asset, or the disposition or termination of an interest in any asset, and, by reason of that event, an allowance falls to be made under [F3491Part 2 or 3 of the Capital Allowances Act in calculating the profits of a tradeF3491] ; or
(b)the damage consists of any loss, liability, expense or other burden in respect of which an allowance may be made in computing the [F3492profitsF3492] of the trade for the purposes of the Tax Acts.
(2)F3493. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(3)Where any event occurs which would give rise to an allowance under the Tax Acts in respect of any asset in taxing, or computing the [F3492profitsF3492] of, a trade but for any of the following matters, that is to say—
(a)that there are no [F3492profitsF3492] against which the allowance could be made, or
(b)that account is required to be taken of allowances previously made or deemed to have been made in respect of the asset; or
(c)that account is required to be taken of any sum which falls to be written off the expenditure incurred on the asset for the purpose of determining whether any and if so what allowance may be given by reason of the event; or
(d)that account is required to be taken of any sum falling to be taken into account as sale, insurance, salvage or compensation moneys, the like consequences shall ensue under this Schedule as if an allowance had fallen to be made by reason of that event.
(4)Where any damage is attributable to a permanent change in the purposes for which an asset is used, or the temporary or permanent putting out of use of an asset, the question whether the damage is damage in respect of which relief may be given under the Tax Acts shall be determined as if the damage had been attributable to a sale of the asset on the date upon which the change or putting out of use took place.
PART III EXCLUSION OF RELIEF IN RESPECT OF CONTRIBUTIONS PAID AFTER RELIEF HAS BEEN GIVEN UNDER PART II
7The provisions of this Part of this Schedule shall have effect where—
(a)a contribution is paid under a scheme in respect of a trade; and
(b)before the contribution is paid, payments have been made under the scheme to the person carrying on the trade; and
(c)reductions have been made, under Part II of this Schedule, in the amounts which, by reason of those payments, are to be treated as trading receipts of the trade.
8There shall be ascertained—
(a)the total amount of those reductions; and
(b)the sum by which that total would have been decreased if the contribution, and any previous contributions to which this Part of this Schedule applies, had been paid before any of the payments were made.
9For the purpose of determining what deduction is to be made in respect of the contribution under section 568, the contribution shall be deemed to be reduced by the sum specified in paragraph 8(b) above, but—
(a)for the purpose of the application of paragraph 8 above in relation to contributions subsequently paid under the scheme in respect of the trade, the total amount of the reductions referred to in that paragraph shall be treated as decreased by that sum; and
(b)for the purpose of the application of paragraph 5 above in relation to payments subsequently made under the scheme in respect of the trade, the total amount of the reductions referred to in that paragraph shall be treated as decreased by that sum.

where—
A is the average market value in [F3826the apportionment periodF3826] of the shares disposed of, and
B is the average market value in that period of the interest in the controlled foreign company which, in the case of the claimant company, was taken into account in the apportionment referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above.
(4)Where, before the relevant disposal—
(a)a dividend is paid by the controlled foreign company, and
(b)the profits out of which the dividend is paid are those from which the chargeable profits referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above are derived, and

Dividends from the controlled foreign company
4(1)This paragraph applies in any case where—
[F3830(a)an accounting period of a controlled foreign company is one in respect of which an apportionment under subsection (3) of section 747 falls to be made; andF3830]
(b)the company’s chargeable profits for that period have been apportioned among the persons referred to in [F3831that subsectionF3831] , and
(c)the controlled foreign company pays a dividend in whole or in part out of the total profits from which (in accordance with subsection (6)(a) of that section) those chargeable profits are derived.

(3)In the following provisions of this paragraph and in paragraphs 5 and 6 below, the aggregate of the sums which, under sub-paragraph (2) above, fall to be treated as underlying tax is referred to as the “gross attributed tax”.

(5)Except for the purpose of determining the amount of the wasted relief, the gross attributed tax shall be treated as reduced by the aggregate of the wasted relief arising in the case of all the persons falling within sub-paragraph (4) above and, on the making of a claim by any of the companies referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above—
(a)the amount of tax [F3832chargeable onF3832] the company in accordance with section 747(4)(a) in respect of the chargeable profits referred to in sub-paragraph (1) (b) above shall, where appropriate, be reduced; and
(b)all such adjustments (whether by repayment of tax or otherwise) shall be made as are appropriate to give effect to any reduction under paragraph (a) above.
5(1)In so far as any provision of—
[F3835(a)arrangements which have effect under section 2(1) of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief by agreement with territories outside the United Kingdom), or
(b)unilateral relief arrangements for a territory outside the United Kingdom (as defined by section 8 of that Act),F3835]
makes relief which is related to foreign dividends received by a company resident in the United Kingdom conditional upon that company either having a particular degree of control of the company paying the dividend or being a subsidiary of another company which has that degree of control, that condition shall be treated as fulfilled in considering whether any such company is by virtue of paragraph 4(2) above entitled to relief under [F3836Part 2 of TIOPA 2010F3836] in respect of any of the gross attributed tax.
(2)Notwithstanding anything in paragraph 4(2) above, in [F3837section 31(2)(b) and (3) of TIOPA 2010F3837] the expression “underlying tax” does not include gross attributed tax.
(3)In a case where the controlled foreign company pays a dividend otherwise than out of specified profits and, on the apportionment referred to in paragraph 4(1) above, less than the whole of the chargeable profits of the controlled foreign company concerned is apportioned to companies which are resident in the United Kingdom and liable for tax thereon as mentioned in section 747(4)(a)—
(a)the gross attributed tax shall be regarded as attributable to a corresponding proportion of the profits in question, and in this sub-paragraph the profits making up that proportion are referred to as “taxed profits”;
(b)so much of the dividend as is received by, or by a successor in title of, any such company shall be regarded as paid primarily out of taxed profits; and

(4)The reference in sub-paragraph (3)(b) above to a successor in title of a company resident in the United Kingdom is a reference to a person who is such a successor in respect of the whole or any part of that interest in the controlled foreign company by virtue of which an amount of its chargeable profits was apportioned to that company.
6(1)In any case where—
(a)on a claim for relief under paragraph 3 above, the whole or any part of any sum has been allowed as a deduction on a disposal of shares in any company; and
(b)that sum forms part of the gross attributed tax in relation to a dividend paid by that company; and
(c)a person receiving the dividend in respect of the shares referred to in paragraph (a) above (“the primary dividend”) or any other relevant dividend is, by virtue of paragraph 4(2) above, entitled under [F3838Part 2 of TIOPA 2010F3838] to relief (by way of underlying tax) by reference to the whole or any part of the gross attributed tax;
the amount which, apart from this paragraph, would be available by way of any such relief to the person referred to in paragraph (c) above shall be reduced or, as the case may be, extinguished by deducting therefrom the amount allowed by way of relief as mentioned in paragraph (a) above.
(2)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(c) above, in relation to the primary dividend, another dividend is a relevant dividend if—
(a)it is a dividend in respect of shares in a company which is resident outside the United Kingdom; and
(b)it represents profits which, directly or indirectly, consist of or include the primary dividend.

PART I THE DISTRIBUTION TEST
Requirements as to distributions
Funds operating equalisation arrangements
2(1)In the case of an offshore fund which throughout any account period operates equalisation arrangements, on any occasion in that period when there is a disposal to which this sub-paragraph applies, the fund shall be treated for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule as making a distribution of an amount equal to so much of the consideration for the disposal as, in accordance with this paragraph, represents income accrued to the date of the disposal.
(2)Sub-paragraph (1) above applies to a disposal—
(a)which is a disposal of a material interest in the offshore fund concerned; and
(b)which is a disposal to which this Chapter applies (whether by virtue of section 758(3) or otherwise) or is one to which this Chapter would apply if subsections (5) and (6) of that section applied generally and not only for the purpose of determining whether, by virtue of subsection (3) of that section, there is a disposal to which this Chapter applies; and
(c)which is not a disposal with respect to which the conditions in subsection (4) of that section are fulfilled; and
(d)which is a disposal to the fund itself or to the persons concerned in the management of the fund (“the managers”) in their capacity as such.
(3)On a disposal to which sub-paragraph (1) above applies, the part of the consideration which represents income accrued to the date of the disposal is, subject to sub-paragraph (4) and paragraph 4(4) below, the amount which would be credited to the equalisation account of the offshore fund concerned in respect of accrued income if, on the date of the disposal, the material interest which is disposed of were acquired by another person by way of initial purchase.
(4)If, after the beginning of the period by reference to which the accrued income referred to in sub-paragraph (3) above is calculated, the material interest disposed of by a disposal to which sub-paragraph (1) above applies was acquired by way of initial purchase (whether or not by the person making the disposal)—
(a)there shall be deducted from the amount which, in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) above, would represent income accrued to the date of the disposal, the amount which on that acquisition was credited to the equalisation account of the fund in respect of accrued income; and
(b)if in that period there has been more than one such acquisition of that material interest by way of initial purchase, the deduction to be made under this sub-paragraph shall be the amount so credited to the equalisation account on the latest such acquisition prior to the disposal in question.
(5)Where, by virtue of this paragraph, an offshore fund is treated for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule as making a distribution on the occasion of a disposal, the distribution shall be treated for those purposes—
(a)as complying with paragraph 1(1)(d) above; and
(b)as made out of the income of the fund for the account period in which the disposal occurs; and
(c)as paid, immediately before the disposal, to the person who was then the holder of the interest disposed of.
(6)In any case where—
(a)a distribution in respect of an interest in an offshore fund is made to the managers of the fund, and
(b)their holding of that interest is in their capacity as such, and
(c)at the time of the distribution, the fund is operating equalisation arrangements,
the distribution shall not be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph 1(1) above except to the extent that the distribution is properly referable to that part of the period for which the distribution is made during which that interest has been held by the managers of the fund in their capacity as such.
(7)Subsection (2) of section 758 applies for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of that section.

PART II MODIFICATIONS OF CONDITIONS FOR CERTIFICATION IN CERTAIN CASES
Exclusion of investments in distributing offshore funds
8(1)The modification referred to in paragraph 6(3)(b) above is that, in determining whether the condition in paragraph 1(1)(b)(ii) above is fulfilled with respect to the account period of the primary fund referred to in paragraph 6(1) above, the United Kingdom equivalent profits of the primary fund for that period shall be treated as increased by the primary fund’s share of the excess income (if any) of the qualifying fund which is attributable to that period.
(2)For the purposes of this paragraph, the excess income of the qualifying fund for any account period of that fund is the amount (if any) by which its United Kingdom equivalent profits for that account period exceed the amount of the distributions made for that period, as determined for the purposes of the application of paragraph 1(1) above to the qualifying fund.
(3)If an account period of the qualifying fund coincides with an account period of the primary fund, then the excess income (if any) of the qualifying fund for that period is the excess income which is attributable to that period of the primary fund.
(4)In a case where sub-paragraph (3) above does not apply, the excess income of the qualifying fund which is attributable to an account period of the primary fund is the appropriate fraction of the excess income (if any) of the qualifying fund for any of its account periods which comprises the whole or any part of the account period of the primary fund and, if there is more than one such account period of the qualifying fund, the aggregate of the excess income (if any) of each of them.
(5)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above, the appropriate fraction is—
where—
A is the number of days in the account period of the primary fund which are also days in an account period of the qualifying fund; and
B is the number of days in that account period of the qualifying fund or, as the case may be, in each of those account periods of that fund which comprises the whole or any part of the account period of the primary fund.

(a)an interest forming part of the assets of the qualifying fund, or
(b)the excess income (as defined in paragraph 8 above) of the qualifying fund,
shall be construed as references to the fraction specified in sub-paragraph (2) below of that interest or excess income.

the offshore income gain to which the disposal gives rise is an amount equal to the post-1983 gain.
PART II DISPOSALS INVOLVING AN EQUALISATION ELEMENT
6(1)Subject to paragraph 7 below, a disposal to which this Chapter applies by virtue of section 758(3) gives rise to an offshore income gain of an amount equal to the equalisation element relevant to the asset disposed of.
(2)Subject to sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) below, the equalisation element relevant to the asset disposed of by a disposal falling within sub-paragraph (1) above is the amount which would be credited to the equalisation account of the offshore fund concerned in respect of accrued income if, on the date of the disposal, the asset which is disposed of were acquired by another person by way of initial purchase.
(3)In the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, a disposal falling within sub-paragraph (1) above is referred to as a “disposal involving an equalisation element”.
(4)Where the asset disposed of by a disposal involving an equalisation element was acquired by the person making the disposal after the beginning of the period by reference to which the accrued income referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above is calculated, the amount which, apart from this sub-paragraph, would be the equalisation element relevant to that asset shall be reduced by the following amount, that is to say—
(a)if that acquisition took place on or after 1st January 1984, the amount which, on that acquisition, was credited to the equalisation account of the offshore fund concerned in respect of accrued income or, as the case may be, would have been so credited if that acquisition had been an acquisition by way of initial purchase; and
(b)in any other case, the amount which would have been credited to that account in respect of accrued income if that acquisition had been an acquisition by way of initial purchase taking place on 1st January 1984.
(5)In any case where—
(a)the asset disposed of by a disposal involving an equalisation element was acquired by the person making the disposal at or before the beginning of the period by reference to which the accrued income referred to in sub-paragraph (2) above is calculated, and
(b)that period began before 1st January 1984 and ends after that date,
the amount which, apart from this sub-paragraph, would be the equalisation element relevant to that asset shall be reduced by the amount which would have been credited to the equalisation account of the offshore fund concerned in respect of accrued income if the acquisition referred to in paragraph (a) above had been an acquisition by way of initial purchase taking place on 1st January 1984.
(6)Where there is a disposal involving an equalisation element, then, to the extent that any amount which was or would be credited to the equalisation account of the offshore fund in respect of accrued income, as mentioned in any of sub-paragraphs (2) to (5) above, represents profits from dealing in commodities, within the meaning of paragraph 4 of Schedule 27, one half of that accrued income shall be left out of account in determining under those sub-paragraphs the equalisation element relevant to the asset disposed of by that disposal.
7(1)For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, there shall be determined, in accordance with paragraph 8 below, the Part I gain (if any) on any disposal involving an equalisation element.
(2)Notwithstanding anything in paragraph 6 above—
(a)if there is no Part I gain on a disposal involving an equalisation element, that disposal shall not give rise to an offshore income gain; and
(b)if, apart from this paragraph, the offshore income gain on a disposal involving an equalisation element would exceed the Part I gain on that disposal, the offshore income gain to which that disposal gives rise shall be reduced to an amount equal to that Part I gain.

(b)“the period of reduction” means the number of whole days which are comprised in a period equal to one-third of the difference between nine months and the companys section 244 interval.
(3)Subject to sub-paragraph (6) below, with respect to the first accounting period of an old company beginning on or after 17th March 1987, section 243(4) of the 1970 Act and section 10(1) of this Act (time for payment of corporation tax) shall have effect as if for the reference to nine months there were substituted a reference to a period which is equal to the companys section 244 interval less the period of reduction.

(a)after the accounting period referred to in sub-paragraph (3) above, but
(b)before the second anniversary of the beginning of that period,

(7)With respect to any accounting period of an old company which falls within sub-paragraph (3) or (4) above, section 86(4) of the Management Act (interest on overdue tax) shall have effect as if, in paragraph 5(a) of the Table (the reckonable date in relation to corporation tax), the reference to the nine months mentioned in section 243(4) of the 1970 Act or section 10(1) of this Act were a reference to the period which, under sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) above, is substituted for those nine months.
(8)In section 88(5)(e) of the Management Act (the date when corporation tax ought to have been paid) for the words from “where section 244(1)” to “the interval” there shall be substituted “ in the case of an accounting period in respect of which section 10(1) of the principal Act applies as modified by sub-paragraph 1(3) or (4) of Schedule 30 to that Act, at the end of the period which, under that sub-paragraph, is substituted for the period of nine months ”.

(ii)no reduction in the rights of that member (in respect of the company owned by the consortium) with respect to the matters specified in section 413(7)(a) and (b);
and in either case no such arrangements as are specified in section 410(1) or (2) have come into existence after 5th March 1973 with respect to any of the companies concerned and no variation is made in any such arrangements which are in existence on that date with respect to any of those companies.
(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(a) above, “the parent company” means the company of which another member of the group referred to in that sub-paragraph was, immediately before 6th March 1973, a 75 per cent subsidiary, and the rights of the parent company referred to in that paragraph are —

(5)Sub-paragraph (2) above shall not apply if, during the period referred to in that sub-paragraph —
(a)there is a major change in the nature or conduct of a trade or business carried on by the relevant company; or

(6)In sub-paragraph (5) above —“a major change in the nature or conduct of a trade or business” has the same meaning as in section 245(1); and “the relevant company” means, if the machinery or plant to which the allowance relates was brought into use on or before 6th March 1978, the company claiming group relief and in any other case either that company or the company which if sub-paragraph (5) did not apply would be the surrendering company.
(7)This paragraph shall be construed as if it were contained in Chapter IV of Part X.
Capital allowances
8Without prejudice to paragraphs 6 and 7 above, where a person is, immediately before the commencement of this Act, entitled to a capital allowance by virtue of any enactment repealed by this Act, he shall not cease to be so entitled by reason only of that repeal, notwithstanding that the enactment in question is not re-enacted by this Act; and accordingly the provisions of this Act shall apply, with any necessary modifications, so far as may be necessary to give effect to any such entitlement.
