In Part 4 of ITEPA 2003 (employment income: exemptions) after Chapter 7 insert— No liability to income tax arises by virtue of Chapter 3 of Part 3 (taxable benefits: expenses payments) in respect of an amount (“amount A”) paid or reimbursed by a person to an employee (whether or not an employee of the person) in respect of expenses if— an amount equal to or exceeding amount A would (ignoring this section) be allowed as a deduction from the employee's earnings under Chapter 2 or 5 of Part 5 in respect of the expenses, and the payment or reimbursement is not provided pursuant to relevant salary sacrifice arrangements. No liability to income tax arises in respect of an amount paid or reimbursed by a person (“the payer”) to an employee (whether or not an employee of the payer) in respect of expenses if— the amount has been calculated and paid or reimbursed in an approved way (see subsection (6)), the payment or reimbursement is not provided pursuant to relevant salary sacrifice arrangements, and conditions A and B are met. Condition A is that the payer or another person operates a system for checking— that the employee is, or employees are, in fact incurring and paying amounts in respect of expenses of the same kind, and that a deduction would (ignoring this section) be allowed under Chapter 2 or 5 of Part 5 in respect of those amounts. Condition B is that neither the payer nor any other person operating the system knows or suspects, or could reasonably be expected to know or suspect— that the employee has not incurred and paid an amount in respect of the expenses, or that a deduction from the employee's earnings would not be allowed under Chapter 2 or 5 of Part 5 in respect of the amount. “Relevant salary sacrifice arrangements”, in relation to an employee to whom an amount is paid or reimbursed in respect of expenses, means arrangements (whenever made, whether before or after the employment began) under which— the employee gives up the right to receive an amount of general earnings or specific employment income in return for the payment or reimbursement, or the amount of other general earnings or specific employment income received by the employee depends on the amount of the payment or reimbursement. For the purposes of this section, a sum is calculated and paid or reimbursed in an approved way if— it is calculated and paid or reimbursed in accordance with regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, or it is calculated and paid or reimbursed in accordance with an approval given under section 289B. Regulations made under subsection (6)(a) may make different provision for different purposes. A person (“the applicant”) may apply to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs for approval to pay or reimburse expenses of the applicant's employees, or employees of another person, at a rate set out in the application (“the proposed rate”). An officer of Revenue and Customs may give the approval if satisfied that any calculation of a payment or reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the proposed rate, or such other rate as is agreed between the applicant and the officer, would be a reasonable estimate of the amount of expenses actually incurred. An approval under subsection (2) takes effect in accordance with a notice (an “approval notice”) given to the applicant by an officer of Revenue and Customs. An approval notice must specify— the rate at which expenses may be paid or reimbursed, the day from which the approval takes effect, that day not being earlier than the day on which the approval notice is given, the day on which the approval ceases to have effect, that day not being later than the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the approval takes effect, and the type of expenses to which the approval relates. An approval notice may specify that the approval is subject to conditions specified or described in the notice. An application for an approval under this section must be in such form and manner, and contain such information, as is specified by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. An officer of Revenue and Customs may, if in the officer's opinion there is reason to do so, revoke an approval given under section 289B by giving a further notice (a “revocation notice”) to either or both of the following— the person who applied for the approval, and the person who is paying or reimbursing expenses in accordance with the approval. A revocation notice may revoke the approval from— the day on which the approval took effect, or a later day specified in the notice. A revocation under subsection (1) may be in relation to all expenses or expenses of a description specified in the revocation notice. If the revocation notice revokes the approval from the day on which the approval took effect— any liability to tax that would have arisen in respect of the payment or reimbursement of expenses if the approval had never been given in relation to such expenses is to be treated as having arisen, and any person who has made, and any employee who has received, a payment or reimbursement of expenses calculated in accordance with the approval must make all the returns which they would have had to make if the approval had never been given in relation to such expenses. If the revocation notice revokes the approval from a later day— any liability to tax that would have arisen in respect of the payment or reimbursement of expenses if the approval had ceased to have effect on that day in relation to such expenses is to be treated as having arisen, and any person who has made, and any employee who has received, a payment or reimbursement of expenses calculated in accordance with the approval must make all the returns which they would have had to make if the approval had ceased to have effect in relation to such expenses on that day. No liability to income tax arises by virtue of any provision of the benefits code in respect of an amount (“amount A”) treated as earnings of an employee as a result of the provision of a benefit if— an amount equal to amount A would (ignoring this section) be allowed as a deduction from the employee's earnings under Chapter 3 of Part 5 in respect of the provision of the benefit, and the benefit is not provided pursuant to relevant salary sacrifice arrangements. “Relevant salary sacrifice arrangements”, in relation to an employee to whom a benefit is provided, means arrangements (whenever made, whether before or after the employment began) under which— the employee gives up the right to receive an amount of general earnings or specific employment income in return for the provision of the benefit, or the amount of other general earnings or specific employment income received by the employee depends on the provision of the benefit. This section applies if conditions A to C are met. Condition A is that, pursuant to arrangements, an amount— is paid or reimbursed to an employee in respect of expenses, or is treated as earnings of an employee as a result of the provision of a benefit, which, in the absence of this section, would have been exempt from income tax. Condition B is that, in the absence of those arrangements, the employee would have received a greater amount of general earnings or specific employment income in respect of which— tax would have been chargeable, or national insurance contributions would have been payable (whether by the employee or another person). Condition C is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is the avoidance of tax or national insurance contributions. If this section applies— the exemption conferred by section 289A does not apply in respect of the amount paid or reimbursed as mentioned in subsection (2)(a), and the exemption conferred by section 289D does not apply in respect of the amount treated as earnings as mentioned in subsection (2)(b). In this section “arrangements” includes any scheme, transaction or series of transactions, agreement or understanding, whether or not legally enforceable. The amendment made by this section has effect for the tax year 2016-17 and subsequent tax years. Omit section 65 (dispensations relating to benefits for certain employees). Omit section 96 (dispensations relating to vouchers or credit-tokens). Accordingly— in section 95 (disregard for money, services or goods obtained), omit subsection (1)(b) and the “or” before it, and in Schedule 7 (transitionals and savings), omit paragraphs 15, 16, 19 and 20 and the italic headings before paragraphs 15 and 19. The amendments made by this section have effect for the tax year 2016-17 and subsequent tax years. The repeal of sections 65 and 96 of ITEPA 2003 does not affect the power of an officer of Revenue and Customs to revoke a pre-commencement dispensation from a date earlier than 6 April 2016. Accordingly, sections 65(6) to (9) and 96(5) to (8) of ITEPA 2003 continue to have effect in relation to a pre-commencement dispensation. In this section “pre-commencement dispensation” means a dispensation given (or treated as given) under section 65 or 96 of ITEPA 2003 which is in force immediately before 6 April 2016. Omit Chapter 11 of Part 3 of ITEPA 2003 (taxable benefits: exclusion of lower-paid employments from parts of benefits code). In Part 4 of that Act (employment income: exemptions), after section 290B insert— This section applies where a person is in employment which is lower-paid employment as a minister of religion in relation to a tax year. No liability to income tax arises in respect of the person in relation to the tax year by virtue of any of the following Chapters of the benefits code— Chapter 3 (taxable benefits: expenses payments); Chapter 6 (taxable benefits: cars, vans and related benefits); Chapter 7 (taxable benefits: loans); Chapter 10 (taxable benefits: residual liability to charge). Subsection (2)— means that in any of those Chapters a reference to an employee does not include an employee whose employment is within the exclusion in that subsection, if the context is such that the reference is to an employee in relation to whom the Chapter applies, but does not restrict the meaning of references to employees in other contexts. Subsection (2) has effect subject to— section 188(2) (discharge of loan: where employment becomes lower-paid), and section 290G (employment in two or more related employments). For the purposes of this Part an employment is “lower-paid employment as a minister of religion” in relation to a tax year if— the employment is direct employment as a minister of a religious denomination, and the earnings rate for the employment for the year (calculated under section 290E) is less than £8,500. An employment is not “direct employment” for the purposes of subsection (1)(a) if— it is an employment which is treated as existing under— section 56(2) (deemed employment of worker by intermediary), or section 61G(2) (deemed employment of worker by managed service company), or an amount counts as employment income in respect of it by virtue of section 554Z2(1) (treatment of relevant step under Part 7A (employment income provided through third parties)). Subsection (1) is subject to section 290G. For any tax year the earnings rate for an employment is to be calculated as follows— Step 1 Find the total of the following amounts— the total amount of the earnings from the employment for the year within Chapter 1 of Part 3 (earnings), the total of any amounts that are treated as earnings from the employment for the year under the benefits code (see subsections (2) and (3)), and the total of any amounts that are treated as earnings from the employment for the year under Chapter 12 of Part 3 (other amounts treated as earnings), excluding any exempt income, other than any attributable to section 290A or 290B (accommodation outgoings of ministers of religion). Step 2 Add to that total any extra amount required to be added for the year by section 290F (extra amounts to be added in connection with a car). Step 3 Subtract the total amount of any authorised deductions (see subsection (4)) from the result of step 2. Step 4 The earnings rate for the employment for the year is given by the formula— where— R is the result of step 3, Y is the number of days in the year, and E is the number of days in the year when the employment is held. Section 290C(2) (provisions of benefits code not applicable to lower-paid ministers of religion) is to be disregarded for the purpose of determining any amount under step 1. If the benefit of living accommodation is to be taken into account under step 1, the cash equivalent is to be calculated in accordance with section 105 (even if the cost of providing the accommodation exceeds £75,000). For the purposes of step 3 “authorised deduction” means any deduction that would (assuming it was an amount of taxable earnings) be allowed from any amount within step 1 under— section 346 (employee liabilities), section 370 (travel costs and expenses where duties performed abroad: employee's travel), section 371 (travel costs and expenses where duties performed abroad: visiting spouse's, civil partner's or child's travel), section 373 (non-domiciled employee's travel costs and expenses where duties performed in UK), section 374 (non-domiciled employee's spouse's, civil partner's or child's travel costs and expenses where duties performed in UK), section 376 (foreign accommodation and subsistence costs and expenses (overseas employments)), section 713 (payroll giving to charities), sections 188 to 194 of FA 2004 (contributions to registered pension schemes), or section 262 of CAA 2001 (capital allowances to be given effect by treating them as deductions). The provisions of this section apply for the purposes of section 290E in the case of a tax year in which a car is made available as mentioned in section 114(1) (cars, vans and related benefits) by reason of the employment. Subsection (3) applies if in the tax year— an alternative to the benefit of the car is offered, and the amount that would be earnings within Chapter 1 of Part 3 if the benefit of the car were to be determined by reference to the alternative offered exceeds the benefit code earnings (see subsection (4)). The amount of the excess is an extra amount to be added under step 2 in section 290E(1). For the purposes of subsection (2) “the benefit code earnings” is the total for the year of— the cash equivalent of the benefit of the car (calculated in accordance with Chapter 6 of Part 3 (taxable benefits: cars, vans etc)), and the cash equivalent (calculated in accordance with that Chapter) of the benefit of any fuel provided for the car by reason of the employment. Section 290C(2) (provisions of benefits code not applicable to lower-paid ministers of religion) is to be disregarded for the purpose of determining any amount under this section. This section applies if a person is employed in two or more related employments. None of the employments is to be regarded as lower-paid employment as a minister of religion in relation to a tax year if— the total of the earnings rates for the employments for the year (calculated in each case under section 290E) is £8,500 or more, or any of them is an employment falling outside the exclusion contained in section 290C(2) (provisions of benefits code not applicable to lower-paid ministers of religion). For the purposes of this section two employments are “related” if— both are with the same employer, or one is with a body or partnership (“A”) and the other is either— with an individual, partnership or body that controls A (“B”), or with another partnership or body also controlled by B. Section 69 (extended meaning of “control”) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of the benefits code. Schedule 1 contains amendments relating to subsections (1) and (2). The amendments made by this section and Schedule 1 have effect for the tax year 2016-17 and subsequent tax years. Part 4 of ITEPA 2003 (employment income: exemptions) is amended as follows. In Chapter 8 (exemptions: special kinds of employees), after section 306 insert— For the purposes of this section an individual is employed as a home care worker if the duties of the employment consist wholly or mainly of the provision of personal care to another individual (“the recipient”) at the recipient's home, in a case where the recipient is in need of personal care because of— old age, mental or physical disability, past or present dependence on alcohol or drugs, past or present illness, or past or present mental disorder. No liability to income tax arises by virtue of Chapter 10 of Part 3 (taxable benefits: residual liability to charge) in respect of the provision of board or lodging (or both) to an individual employed as a home care worker if the provision is— on a reasonable scale, at the recipient's home, and by reason of the individual's employment as a home care worker. In section 228 (effect of exemptions on liability under provisions outside Part 2), in subsection (2)(d), after “291” insert “ and 306A ”. In section 640A of ITEPA 2003 (lump sums provided under armed forces early departure scheme), at the end insert “ or the Armed Forces Early Departure Payments Scheme Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2328) ”. Subsection (1) comes into force on 1 April 2015. In Part 1 of Table B in section 677(1) (UK social security benefits wholly exempt from tax), at the appropriate place insert— In Part 1 of Schedule 1 (abbreviations of Acts and instruments), at the appropriate place insert— The amendments made by this section have effect in accordance with regulations made by the Treasury. Regulations under subsection (4) may make different provision for different purposes. Section 1014(4) of ITA 2007 (regulations etc subject to annulment) does not apply in relation to regulations under subsection (4). Section 684 of ITEPA 2003 (PAYE regulations) is amended as follows. In the list in subsection (2), after item 1 insert— Provision— for authorising a person (“P”), in a case where the PAYE income of an employee (whether an employee of P or of another person) includes an amount charged to tax under any of Chapters 3 and 5 to 10 of Part 3 in respect of the provision of a benefit of a specified kind— to make deductions of income tax in respect of the benefit from any payment or payments actually made of, or on account of, PAYE income of the employee, or to make repayments of such income tax, for any such deductions or repayments to be made at a specified time, for the amount of any such deductions or repayments to be calculated in accordance with the regulations, for the provision of the benefit to be treated for specified purposes as a payment of PAYE income, and for making persons who make any such deductions or repayments accountable to or, as the case may be, entitled to repayment from the Commissioners. For subsection (3) substitute— The deductions of income tax— required to be made by PAYE regulations under item 1 in the above list, or which a person is authorised to make by PAYE regulations under item 1ZA in that list, may be required to be made at the basic rate or other rates in such cases or classes of case as may be provided by the regulations. Section 100 of TMA 1970 (determination of penalties by officer of Board) is amended as follows. In subsection (2)(c), after “those amendments” insert “ , subject to subsection (2A) ”. After subsection (2) insert— Subsection (2)(c) does not exclude the application of subsection (1) where the penalty relates to a failure to furnish any information or produce any document or record in accordance with regulations under section 716B of ITEPA 2003 (employment intermediaries to keep, preserve and provide information etc). Chapter 3 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (dividends etc from UK resident companies and tax treated as paid in respect of certain distributions) is amended in accordance with subsections (2) to (6). After section 396 insert— Subsection (2) applies if a person (“S”) has a choice either— to receive what would (ignoring this section) be a distribution of a company, or to receive from that company, or from a third party, anything else (“the alternative receipt”) which— is of the same or substantially the same value, and (ignoring this section) would not be charged to income tax. If S chooses the alternative receipt— for income tax purposes it is treated as a distribution made to S by that company in the tax year in which it is received by S, and for the purposes of the following provisions it is treated as a qualifying distribution so made— section 397 (tax credits for qualifying distributions of UK resident companies: UK residents and eligible non-UK residents); section 399 (qualifying distributions received by persons not entitled to tax credits); section 1100 of CTA 2010 (qualifying distributions: right to request a statement). For the purposes of this section— it does not matter if the choice mentioned in subsection (1) is subject to any conditions being met or to the exercise of any power; where S is offered one thing subject to a right, however expressed, to choose another instead, S is to be regarded as making a choice if S abandons or fails to exercise such a right. If at any time a tax other than income tax (“the other tax”) is charged in relation to the alternative receipt, in order to avoid a double charge to tax in respect of that receipt, a person may make a claim for one or more consequential adjustments to be made in respect of the other tax. On a claim under subsection (4) an officer of Revenue and Customs must make such of the consequential adjustments claimed (if any) as are just and reasonable. Consequential adjustments may be made— in respect of any period, by way of an assessment, the modification of an assessment, the amendment of a claim, or otherwise, and despite any time limit imposed by or under an enactment. In section 382 (contents of Chapter 3), in subsection (1), omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (b) and after paragraph (c) insert , and treats distributions as made in some circumstances (see section 396A).

The amendments made by subsections (2) to (4), (7) and (8) have effect in relation to things received on or after 6 April 2015 (even if the choice to receive them was made before that date). Chapter 2 of Part 8 of ITA 2007 (gift aid) is amended as follows. In section 416 (meaning of “qualifying donation” for the purpose of gift aid relief)— in subsection (1)(b)— after “the individual” insert “ , or an intermediary representing the individual, ” and after “the charity” insert “ , or an intermediary representing the charity, ”, and after subsection (1) insert— For the purpose of subsection (1)(b) an intermediary is— a person authorised by the individual to give a gift aid declaration on behalf of that individual to the charity, a person authorised by a charity to receive a gift aid declaration on behalf of that charity, or a person authorised to perform both of the roles described in paragraphs (a) and (b). For section 428(3) (regulations in relation to gift aid declarations) substitute— The regulations may also require— charities, or intermediaries within the meaning of section 416(1A), to keep records with respect to declarations received from individuals or from those intermediaries, charities or intermediaries to produce, for inspection by an officer of Revenue and Customs, any records required to be kept by those charities or intermediaries by regulations made under paragraph (a), and intermediaries to provide statements of account, and other specified information relating to declarations made, in such form and at such times as may be specified, to individuals who have authorised those intermediaries to give those declarations to charities on their behalf. The regulations may also make different provision for different cases or circumstances, including— different provision for declarations made in a different manner or by different descriptions of persons, and different provision depending on whether or not an intermediary, within the meaning of section 416(1A), is involved in the giving or receiving of the declaration. The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to gifts made on or after a day appointed in regulations made by the Treasury. Section 1014(4) of ITA 2007 (regulations etc subject to annulment) does not apply to regulations under subsection (4). In Part 13 of ITA 2007 (tax avoidance), after Chapter 5D insert— Where one or more disguised fees arise to an individual in a tax year from one or more investment schemes (whether or not by virtue of the same arrangements), the individual is liable for income tax for the tax year in respect of the disguised fee or fees as if— the individual were carrying on a trade for the tax year, the disguised fee or fees were the profits of the trade of the tax year, and the individual were the person receiving or entitled to those profits. For the purposes of subsection (1) the trade is treated as carried on— in the United Kingdom, to the extent that the individual performs the relevant services in the United Kingdom; outside the United Kingdom, to the extent that the individual performs the relevant services outside the United Kingdom; and for this purpose “the relevant services” means the investment management services by virtue of which the disguised fee or fees arise to the individual in the tax year. For the purposes of this Chapter a “disguised fee” arises to an individual in a tax year from an investment scheme if— the individual performs investment management services directly or indirectly in respect of the scheme under any arrangements, the arrangements involve at least one partnership, under the arrangements, a management fee arises to the individual directly or indirectly from the scheme in the tax year (see section 809EZB), and some or all of the management fee is untaxed; and the amount of the disguised fee is so much of the management fee as is untaxed. For the purposes of subsection (3) the management fee is “untaxed” if and to the extent that the fee would not (apart from this section)— be charged to tax under ITEPA 2003 as employment income of the individual for any tax year, or be brought into account in calculating the profits of a trade of the individual for the purposes of income tax for any tax year. In subsection (4) “trade” includes profession or vocation. In this Chapter “investment scheme” means— a collective investment scheme, or an investment trust. Subject as follows, for the purposes of section 809EZA “management fee” means any sum (including a sum in the form of a loan or advance or an allocation of profits) except so far as the sum constitutes— a repayment (in whole or part) of an investment made directly or indirectly by the individual in the scheme, an arm's length return on an investment made directly or indirectly by the individual in the scheme, or carried interest (see sections 809EZC and 809EZD). For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) a return on an investment is “an arm's length return” if— the return is on an investment which is of the same kind as investments in the scheme made by external investors, the return on the investment is reasonably comparable to the return to external investors on those investments, and the terms governing the return on the investment are reasonably comparable to the terms governing the return to external investors on those investments. In this Chapter “sum” includes any money or money's worth (and other expressions are to be construed accordingly). Where— a sum in the form of money's worth arises to the individual from the scheme in the ordinary course of the scheme's business, and the individual gives the scheme money in exchange for the sum, the sum constitutes a “management fee” only to the extent that its market value at the time it arises exceeds the amount of the money given by the individual. For the purposes of section 809EZB “carried interest” means a sum which arises to the individual under the arrangements by way of profit-related return. This is subject to subsections (3) to (8) (sums where no significant risk of not arising); and see also section 809EZD (sums treated as carried interest). A sum which arises to the individual under the arrangements does so by way of “profit-related return” if under the arrangements— the sum is to, or may, arise only if— there are profits for a period on the investments, or on particular investments, made for the purposes of the scheme, or there are profits arising from a disposal of the investments, or of particular investments, made for those purposes, the amount of the sum which is to, or may, arise is variable, to a substantial extent, by reference to those profits, and returns to external investors are also determined by reference to those profits; but where any part of the sum does not meet these conditions, that part is not to be regarded as arising by way of “profit-related return”. one or more sums (“actual sums”) arise to the individual under the arrangements by way of profit-related return in a tax year, and there was no significant risk that a sum of at least a certain amount (“the minimum amount”) would not arise to the individual, so much of the actual sum, or of the aggregate of the actual sums, as is equal to the minimum amount is not “carried interest”. (See subsections (7) and (8) as to how the minimum amount is to be apportioned between the actual sums where more than one actual sum arises in the tax year.) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) assess the risk both— in relation to each actual sum (and the investments to which it relates) individually, taking into account also any other sums that might have arisen to the individual under the arrangements instead of that sum, and in relation to the actual sum or sums and any other sums that might have arisen to the individual under the arrangements by way of profit-related return in the tax year (and the investments to which all those sums relate) taken as a whole; (so that, in a particular case, some of the minimum amount may arise by assessing the risk in accordance with paragraph (a) and some by assessing it in accordance with paragraph (b)). For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) assess the risk as at the latest of— the time when the individual becomes party to the arrangements, the time when the individual begins to perform investment management services directly or indirectly in respect of the scheme under the arrangements, and the time when a material change is made to the arrangements so far as relating to the sums which are to, or may, arise to the individual. For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) ignore any risk that a sum is prevented from arising to the individual (by reason of insolvency or otherwise). Where more than one actual sum arises in the tax year, the minimum amount is to be apportioned between the actual sums as follows for the purposes of subsection (3)— so much of the minimum amount as is attributable to a particular actual sum is to be apportioned to that actual sum, and so much of the minimum amount as is not attributable to any particular actual sum is to be apportioned between the actual sums on a just and reasonable basis. For the purpose of subsection (7) any part of the minimum amount is attributable to a particular actual sum to the extent that there was no significant risk that that part would not arise to the individual in relation to that actual sum, assessing the risk in accordance with subsection (4)(a). A sum falling within subsection (2) or (3)— is to be assumed to meet the requirements of section 809EZC, and accordingly, is to be treated as constituting “carried interest” for the purposes of section 809EZB. A sum falls within this subsection if, under the arrangements, it is to, or may, arise to the individual out of profits on the investments made for the purposes of the scheme, but only after— all, or substantially all, of the investments in the scheme made by the participants have been repaid to the participants, and each external investor has received a preferred return on all, or substantially all, of the investor's investments in the scheme. A sum falls within this subsection if, under the arrangements, it is to, or may, arise to the individual out of profits on a particular investment made for the purposes of the scheme, but only after— all, or substantially all, of the relevant investments made by participants have been repaid to those participants, and each of those participants who is an external investor has received a preferred return on all, or substantially all, of the investor's relevant investments; and for this purpose “relevant investments” means those investments in the scheme to which the particular investment made for the purposes of the scheme is attributable. In this section “preferred return” means a return of not less than the amount that would be payable on the investment by way of interest if— compound interest were payable on the investment for the whole of the period during which it was invested in the scheme, and the interest were calculated at a rate of 6% per annum, with annual rests. In this Chapter— “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable); “collective investment scheme” has the meaning given by section 235 of FISMA 2000; “external investor”, in relation to an investment scheme and any arrangements, means a participant in the scheme other than— an individual who performs investment management services directly or indirectly in respect of the scheme, or a person through whom sums are to, or may, arise directly or indirectly to such an individual from the scheme under the arrangements; “investment management services”, in relation to an investment scheme, includes— seeking funds for the purposes of the scheme from participants or potential participants, researching potential investments to be made for the purposes of the scheme, acquiring, managing or disposing of property for the purposes of the scheme, and acting for the purposes of the scheme with a view to assisting a body in which the scheme has made an investment to raise funds; “investment trust” means a company in relation to which conditions A to C in section 1158 of CTA 2010 are met (or treated as met); and for this purpose “company” has the meaning given by section 1121 of CTA 2010; “market value” has the same meaning as in TCGA 1992 (see sections 272 and 273 of that Act); “participant”— in relation to a collective investment scheme, is construed in accordance with section 235 of FISMA 2000; in relation to an investment trust, means a member of the investment trust; “profits”, in relation to an investment made for the purposes of an investment scheme, means profits (including unrealised profits) arising from the acquisition, holding, management or disposal of the investment (taking into account items of a revenue nature and items of a capital nature). In this Chapter a reference to an investment made by a person in an investment scheme is a reference to a contribution by the person (whether by way of capital, loan or otherwise) towards the property subject to the scheme (but does not include a sum committed but not yet invested). For the purposes of subsection (2) a person who holds a share in an investment scheme which is a company limited by shares and who acquired the share from a person other than the scheme is to be taken to have made a contribution towards the property subject to the scheme equal to— the consideration given by the person for the acquisition of the share, or if less, the market value of the share at the time of the acquisition. In this Chapter, in relation to an investment scheme which is a company limited by shares— references to a repayment of, or a return on, an investment in the scheme include a repayment of, or a return on, an investment represented by a share in the scheme resulting from— the purchase of the share by the scheme, the redemption of the share by the scheme, the distribution of assets in respect of the share on the winding up of the scheme, or any similar process; references to a return on an investment in the scheme include a dividend or similar distribution in respect of a share in the scheme representing the investment. In determining whether section 809EZA applies in relation to an individual, no regard is to be had to any arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure that that section does not apply in relation to— the individual, or the individual and one or more other individuals. This section applies where— income tax is charged on an individual by virtue of section 809EZA in respect of a disguised fee, and at any time, a tax (whether income tax or another tax) is charged on the individual otherwise than by virtue of section 809EZA in relation to the disguised fee. This section also applies where— income tax is charged on an individual by virtue of section 809EZA in respect of a disguised fee which arises to the individual under the arrangements by way of a loan or advance, at any time, a tax (whether income tax or another tax) is charged on the individual in relation to another sum which arises to the individual under the arrangements, and some or all of the loan or advance has to be repaid as a result of the other sum having arisen to the individual. In order to avoid a double charge to tax, the individual may make a claim for one or more consequential adjustments to be made in respect of the tax charged as mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or (2)(b). On a claim under this section an officer of Revenue and Customs must make such of the consequential adjustments claimed (if any) as are just and reasonable. The value of any consequential adjustments must not exceed the lesser of the income tax charged on the individual as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (2)(a) and— where subsection (1) applies, the tax charged as mentioned in subsection (1)(b); where subsection (2) applies, the tax charged as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) in relation to so much of the other sum as does not exceed the amount of the loan or advance that has to be repaid as mentioned in subsection (2)(c). despite any time limit imposed by or under any enactment. The Treasury may by regulations amend this Chapter— so as to change the definition of “investment scheme” for the purposes of this Chapter; so as to change the definition of “participant” for those purposes; so as to change what is “carried interest” for the purposes of section 809EZB.

Regulations under this section may— make different provision for different purposes, and contain incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision and savings. A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section to which subsection (4) applies may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of the House of Commons. This subsection applies if the regulations contain any provision which has or may have the effect of increasing any person's liability to tax. Any other statutory instrument containing regulations under this section is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.

The Treasury may by regulations make provision for the purpose of identifying when expenditure on consumable items is attributable to relevant research and development, including provision modifying the effect of section 1126 or 1126A. Regulations under this section may include provision about— the circumstances in which expenditure on consumable items employed directly in relevant research and development is, or is not, to be treated as attributable to that relevant research and development; the circumstances in which consumable items are, or are not, to be treated as employed directly in relevant research and development. make different provision for different purposes; make incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision or savings. Regulations under this section may amend— section 1126; section 1126A; any other provision of this Act, if that is appropriate in consequence of provision made under paragraph (a) or (b). Regulations under this section may make provision that has effect in relation to expenditure incurred before the making of the regulations, provided that it does not increase any person's liability to tax.

In consequence of subsection (4), in section 32 of FA 2014— omit subsection (3), in subsection (4) for “amendments made by subsections (2) and (3) have” substitute “ amendment made by subsection (2) has ”, omit subsection (5), and in subsection (7) for “sections 1198(1) and 1202(2) and (3)” substitute “ section 1198(1) ”. The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to films the principal photography of which is not completed before such day as the Treasury may specify by regulations. The specified day may be before the day on which the regulations are made, but may not be before 1 April 2015. Section 1171(4) of CTA 2010 (orders and regulations subject to negative resolution procedure) does not apply in relation to any regulations made under subsection (8). Part 15A of CTA 2009 (television production reliefs) is amended as follows. In section 1216AB(2) (programmes that are not animation can be relevant programmes only if conditions C and D are met in addition to conditions A and B) for “not animation” substitute “ neither animation nor a children's programme ”. In section 1216AB(3) (condition A: types of programme that can be relevant programmes)— omit the “or” after paragraph (b), and after paragraph (c) insert , or a children's programme. In section 1216AC (types of programme: definitions) after subsection (2) insert— A programme is a children's programme if, when television production activities begin, it is reasonable to expect that the persons who will make up the programme's primary audience will be under the age of 15. In section 1216AD(1) (meaning of “excluded programme”) after “For the purposes of this Part” insert “ , but subject to section 1216ADA, ”. After section 1216AD insert— A children's programme is not an excluded programme for the purposes of this Part if— the programme falls within— sub-head 3A set out in subsection (2), or Head 4 set out in section 1216AD(5), and the prize total (see subsection (3)) does not exceed £1,000. Sub-head 3A is any quiz show or game show. “The prize total” for a programme is the total of— the amount of each relevant prize that is a money prize, and the amount spent on each other relevant prize by, or on behalf of, its provider, and here “relevant prize” means a prize offered in connection with participation in a quiz, game, competition or contest in, or promoted by, the programme. The Treasury may by regulations amend subsection (1)(b) for the purpose of increasing the amount of the money limit for the time being specified in subsection (1)(b). The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2015. Subsections (9) and (10) apply where— a company has an accounting period beginning before, and ending on or after, 1 April 2015 (“the straddling period”), in the part of the straddling period beginning with 1 April 2015 and ending with the end of the straddling period, the company carries on activities in relation to a television programme that— is within the definition of “children's programme” given by the new section 1216AC(2A), but is not a relevant programme for the purposes of Part 15A of CTA 2009, and if that part of the straddling period were a separate accounting period, in that separate accounting period— the programme would be a relevant programme for the purposes of Part 15A of CTA 2009, the company would for those purposes be the television production company in relation to the programme, and the conditions for television tax relief (see section 1216C(2) of CTA 2009) would be met in relation to the programme. For the purposes of calculating for corporation tax purposes the company's profits or losses for the straddling period of its activities in relation to the programme— so much of the straddling period as falls before 1 April 2015, and so much of that period as falls on or after that date, are to be treated as separate accounting periods. Any amounts brought into account for the purposes of calculating for corporation tax purposes the company's profits or losses for the straddling period of its activities in relation to the programme are to be apportioned to the two separate accounting periods on such basis as is just and reasonable. In section 1216CE(1) of CTA 2009 (television tax relief: UK expenditure condition) for “25%” substitute “ 10% ”. The amendment made by subsection (1) has effect in relation to relevant programmes the principal photography of which is not completed before 1 April 2015. Schedule 2 contains provision restricting the amount of deductions which banking companies may make in respect of certain losses carried forward from previous accounting periods.

Schedule 4 contains provision about pension annuities, and other pension, paid in respect of deceased members of pension schemes. Schedule 5 makes provision about relief for contributions to flood and coastal erosion risk management projects. Schedule 6 makes provision about excluded activities for the purposes of the following provisions of ITA 2007— Part 5 (enterprise investment scheme) and, by virtue of section 257DA(9) of that Act, Part 5A (seed enterprise investment scheme), Part 5B (tax relief for social investments), and Part 6 (venture capital trusts). Schedule 7 contains provision about capital gains tax on the disposal of UK residential property interests— by a person who is not resident in the United Kingdom, or by an individual, in the overseas part of a split tax year. Schedule 8 contains provision about the calculation of relevant high value disposals within the meaning of section 2C of TCGA 1992. Schedule 9 contains amendments of TCGA 1992 in connection with private residence relief. In section 45 of TCGA 1992 (exemption for certain wasting assets), after subsection (3) insert— But subsection (3) does not apply in the case of a disposal in relation to which subsection (3B) disapplies subsection (1). Subsection (1) does not apply to a disposal of, or of an interest in, an asset if— at any time in the period of ownership of the person making the disposal, the asset is used for the purposes of a trade, profession or vocation carried on by another person, as a result of that use, the asset becomes plant, but for the asset therefore being regarded under section 44(1)(c) as having a predictable life of less than 50 years, the disposal would not be of, or of an interest in, a wasting asset, and the disposal is not within subsection (3C). A disposal of, or of an interest in, an asset is within this subsection if the asset is plant used for the purpose of leasing under a long funding lease and— the disposal takes place after the commencement of the term of the lease but before the termination of the lease, or the disposal is the deemed disposal of the asset under section 25A(3)(a) on the termination of the lease. Section 25A(5) applies for the purposes of subsection (3C). The amendment made by this section has effect— for corporation tax purposes, in relation to disposals on or after 1 April 2015, and for capital gains tax purposes, in relation to disposals on or after 6 April 2015. Section 169K of TCGA 1992 (disposal associated with relevant material disposal) is amended as follows. For subsections (1) and (2) substitute— There is a disposal associated with a relevant material disposal if— condition A1, A2 or A3 is met, and conditions B and C are met. Condition A1 is that an individual (“P”) makes a material disposal of business assets which consists of the disposal of the whole or part of P's interest in the assets of a partnership, and— P's disposed of interest is at least a 5% interest in the partnership's assets, and at the date of the disposal, no partnership purchase arrangements exist. Condition A2 is that P makes a material disposal of business assets which consists of the disposal of shares in a company, all or some of which are ordinary shares, and at the date of the disposal— the ordinary shares disposed of— constitute at least 5% of the company's ordinary share capital, and carry at least 5% of the voting rights in the company, and no share purchase arrangements exist. But condition A2 is not met if the disposal of shares is a disposal by virtue of section 122, other than such a disposal treated as made in consideration of a capital distribution from a company which is made in the course of dissolving or winding up the company. Condition A3 is that P makes a material disposal of business assets which consists of the disposal of securities of a company, and at the date of the disposal— the securities disposed of constitute at least 5% of the value of the securities of the company, and For the purposes of conditions A2 and A3, in relation to the disposal of shares in or securities of a company (“company A”), “share purchase arrangements” means arrangements under which P or a person connected with P is entitled to acquire shares in or securities of— company A, or a company which is a member of a trading group of which company A is a member. For the purposes of subsection (1E)(b), a company is treated as a member of a trading group of which company A is a member if, at the date of the disposal mentioned in condition A2 or A3, arrangements exist which it is reasonable to assume will result in the company and company A becoming members of the same trading group. In subsection (3)— for “the individual”, in the first place it occurs, substitute “ P ”, and for “the withdrawal of the individual” substitute “ P's withdrawal ”. After subsection (3) insert— The disposal mentioned in condition B is not treated as part of P's withdrawal from participation in the business carried on by a partnership if at the date of that disposal there exist any partnership purchase arrangements. The disposal mentioned in condition B is not treated as part of P's withdrawal from participation in the business carried on by a company (“company A”) if at the date of that disposal there exist any arrangements under which P or a person connected with P is entitled to acquire shares in or securities of— For the purposes of subsection (3B)(b), a company is treated as a member of a trading group of which company A is a member if, at the date of the disposal mentioned in condition B, arrangements exist which it is reasonable to assume will result in the company and company A becoming members of the same trading group. After subsection (5) insert— In this section, in relation to a partnership, “partnership purchase arrangements” means arrangements under which P or a person connected with P is entitled to acquire any interest in, or increase that person's interest in, the partnership (including a share of the profits or assets of the partnership or an interest in such a share). “securities” includes an interest in securities, and an “interest in securities” includes (in particular) an option to acquire securities; “shares” includes an interest in shares, and an “interest in shares” includes (in particular) an option to acquire shares. For the purposes of this section, a person is treated as entitled to acquire anything which the person— is entitled to acquire at a future date, or will at a future date be entitled to acquire. For the purposes of this section the assets of— a Scottish partnership, or a partnership under the law of any other country or territory under which assets of a partnership are regarded as held by or on behalf of the partnership as such, are to be treated as held by the members of the partnership in the proportions in which they are entitled to share in the profits of the partnership. References in this section to an individual's interest in the partnership's assets are to be construed accordingly. The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to disposals made on or after 18 March 2015. Chapter 3 of Part 5 of TCGA 1992 (entrepreneurs' relief) is amended as follows. In section 169H (introduction), in subsection (3), for “section 169L” substitute “ sections 169L and 169LA ”. In section 169L (relevant business assets), in subsection (2), after “including” insert “ , subject to section 169LA, ”. After that section insert— as part of a qualifying business disposal, a person (“P”) disposes of goodwill directly or indirectly to a close company (“C”), at the time of the disposal, P is a related party in relation to C, and P is not a retiring partner. P is a related party in relation to C for the purposes of this section if P is a related party in relation to C for the purposes of Part 8 of CTA 2009 (intangible fixed assets) (see Chapter 12 of that Part (related parties) and, in particular, section 835(5) of that Act). P is a retiring partner if the goodwill is goodwill in a business carried on, immediately before the disposal, by a partnership of which P is a member and at the time of the disposal— P is not, and no arrangements exist under which P could become, a participator in C or in a company that has control of, or holds a major interest in, C (a “relevant participator”), P is a related party in relation to C because P is an associate of one or more relevant participators, and P is only an associate of each of those relevant participators because they are also members of the partnership. For the purposes of this Chapter, the goodwill is not one of the relevant business assets comprised in the qualifying business disposal. If a company— is not resident in the United Kingdom, but would be a close company if it were resident in the United Kingdom, the company is to be treated as being a close company for the purposes of this section (including for the purposes of determining whether a person is a related party in relation to the company for the purposes of this section). If a person— disposes of goodwill as part of a qualifying business disposal, and is party to relevant avoidance arrangements, subsection (4) applies (if it would not otherwise do so). In subsection (6) “relevant avoidance arrangements” means arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure— that subsection (4) does not apply in relation to the goodwill, or that the person is not a related party (for whatever purposes) in relation to a company to which the disposal of goodwill is directly or indirectly made. “associate”, “control”, “major interest” and “participator” have the same meaning as in Chapter 12 of Part 8 of CTA 2009 (see, in particular, sections 836, 837 and 841 of that Act). The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to qualifying business disposals made on or after 3 December 2014. Section 169S of TCGA 1992 (entrepreneurs' relief - interpretation) is amended as follows. After subsection (4) insert— In this Chapter “trading company” and “trading group” have the same meaning as in section 165 (see section 165A), except that, for the purposes of this Chapter— subsections (7) and (12) of section 165A are to be disregarded; in determining whether a company which is a member of a partnership is a trading company, activities carried on by the company as a member of that partnership are to be treated as not being trading activities (see section 165A(4)); and in determining whether a group of companies is a trading group in a case where any one or more companies in the group is a member of a partnership, activities carried on by such a company as a member of the partnership are to be treated as not being trading activities (see section 165A(9)). In subsection (5), omit the entry relating to “trading company” and “trading group” and the “and” preceding that entry. For the purposes of conditions B and D in section 169I of TCGA 1992 (material disposal of business assets), any reference to a company ceasing to be a trading company or ceasing to be a member of a trading group does not include a case where a company ceases to be a trading company or ceases to be a member of a trading group by virtue only of the coming into force of subsections (2) and (3). This section comes into force on 18 March 2015. In Part 5 of TCGA 1992 (transfer of business assets) after Chapter 3 (entrepreneurs' relief) insert— This Chapter makes provision about claiming entrepreneurs' relief in certain cases where, in relation to held-over gains that originally arose on a business disposal, there is a chargeable event for the purposes of Schedule 5B or 8B (relief for gains invested under the enterprise investment scheme or in social enterprises). Section 169V applies if, ignoring the operation of section 169V(2)(b), each of the following conditions is met. The first condition is that a chargeable gain (“the first eventual gain”) accrues as a result of the operation of— paragraph 4 of Schedule 5B (enterprise investment scheme), or paragraph 5 of Schedule 8B (investments in social enterprises). If the first condition is met, the paragraph and Schedule mentioned in subsection (2) that apply in the case are referred to in this section, and section 169V, as “the relevant paragraph” and “the applicable Schedule”. The second condition is— that the first eventual gain accrues in a case in which the original gain would, but for the operation of the applicable Schedule, have accrued on a relevant business disposal, or where the first eventual gain accrues in a case in which the original gain would, but for the operation of the applicable Schedule, have accrued as a result of the operation of either of the paragraphs mentioned in subsection (2), that the underlying disposal is a relevant business disposal. The third condition is that a claim for entrepreneurs' relief in respect of the first eventual gain is made, on or before the first anniversary of the 31 January following the tax year in which the first eventual gain accrues, by the individual who made the disposal mentioned in subsection (4)(a) or (b). The fourth condition is that the first eventual gain is the first gain to accrue in the case as a result of the operation of the relevant paragraph. In subsection (4) “the underlying disposal” means the disposal (not being a disposal within paragraph 3 of Schedule 5B or paragraph 6 of Schedule 8B) by virtue of which Schedule 5B or 8B has effect. For the purposes of subsection (4), whether the disposal on which the original gain would have accrued is a relevant business disposal, or whether the underlying disposal is a relevant business disposal, is to be decided according to the law applicable to disposals made at the time the disposal was made. “the original gain”, in relation to a particular case, has the same meaning as in the applicable Schedule, “relevant business asset” has the meaning given by section 169L, and “relevant business disposal” means— a disposal— within section 169H(2)(a) or (c) (qualifying business disposals), and consisting of the disposal of (or of interests in) shares in or securities of a company, or a disposal of relevant business assets which is comprised in a disposal— within section 169H(2)(a) or (c), and not consisting of the disposal of (or of interests in) shares in or securities of a company. Where this section applies, the following rules have effect. The gain mentioned in section 169U(2) (“the first eventual gain”)— is treated for ER purposes as the amount resulting from a calculation under section 169N(1) carried out— in respect of a qualifying business disposal made when the first eventual gain accrues, and because of the claim mentioned in section 169U(5), and except for ER purposes, is not to be taken into account under this Act as a chargeable gain. If the first eventual gain is a part only of the original gain in the case concerned, each part of the original gain that subsequently accrues as a chargeable gain as a result of the operation of the relevant paragraph— in respect of a qualifying business disposal made when that chargeable gain so accrues, and If the disposal mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of section 169U(4) is a disposal within section 169H(2)(c) (qualifying business disposal: disposal associated with a relevant material disposal)— a disposal mentioned in subsection (2) or (3) of this section is treated for the purposes of section 169P(1) as a disposal associated with a relevant material disposal, but section 169P applies in relation to that disposal as if the disposal referred to in section 169P(4) were the disposal mentioned in section 169U(4)(a) or (b). In this section “ER purposes” means the purposes of— section 169N(2) to (4B), (7) and (8), and section 169P. The amendment made by subsection (1) has effect in relation to cases where the disposal mentioned in the new section 169U(4)(a) or (b) is made on or after 3 December 2014. CAA 2001 is amended as follows. In section 45DA(1)(a) (period during which first-year qualifying expenditure may be incurred), for “5 years” substitute “ 8 years ”. Section 45DB (exclusions from allowances under section 45DA) is amended in accordance with subsections (4) to (7). In subsection (7), omit “notified” (in both places). In subsection (8), omit “to that extent”. In subsection (11), omit the definition of “notified State aid”. After that subsection insert— Nothing in this section limits references to “State aid” to State aid which is required to be notified to and approved by the European Commission. The amendments made by subsections (3) to (7) have effect— in relation to a relevant grant or relevant payment made at any time (whether before or on or after the specified day) towards expenditure incurred on or after that day, and in relation to a relevant grant or relevant payment made on or after the specified day towards expenditure incurred before that day. “The specified day” means— for income tax purposes, 6 April 2015, and for corporation tax purposes, 1 April 2015. Schedule 10 contains provision about plant and machinery allowances. Schedule 11 contains provision enabling the ring fence expenditure supplement to be claimed for an additional 4 accounting periods (and as a result repeals provision for the extended ring fence expenditure supplement for onshore activities). In section 330 of CTA 2010 (supplementary charge in respect of ring fence trades), in subsection (1), for “32%” substitute “ 20% ”. The amendment made by subsection (1) has effect in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 (but see also subsection (3)). Subsections (4) to (6) apply where a company has an accounting period beginning before 1 January 2015 and ending on or after that date (“the straddling period”). For the purpose of calculating the amount of the supplementary charge on the company for the straddling period— so much of that period as falls before 1 January 2015, and so much of that period as falls on or after that date, are treated as separate accounting periods, and the company's adjusted ring fence profits for the straddling period are apportioned to the two separate accounting periods in proportion to the number of days in those periods. Sections 330A and 330B of CTA 2010 do not apply in relation to the straddling period (but do apply in relation to the separate accounting period ending on 31 December 2014). The amount of the supplementary charge on the company for the straddling period is the sum of the amounts of supplementary charge that would, in accordance with subsections (4) and (5), be chargeable on the company for those separate accounting periods. “adjusted ring fence profits” has the same meaning as in section 330 of CTA 2010; “supplementary charge” means any sum chargeable under section 330(1) of CTA 2010 as if it were an amount of corporation tax. Schedule 12 contains provision about the reduction of adjusted ring fence profits by means of an investment allowance. Schedule 13 contains provision about the reduction of adjusted ring fence profits by means of a cluster area allowance. Schedule 14 contains further amendments related to the amendments made by Schedules 12 and 13. OTA 1975 is amended as follows. In section 1(2) (rate of petroleum revenue tax) for “50” substitute “ 35 ”. In paragraph 17(5)(b) of Schedule 2 (relevant percentage in relation to the amount of loss which is treated as reducing assessable profit) after “60 per cent” insert “ if that later repayment period ends on or before 31 December 2015, and 45 per cent if it ends after 31 December 2015 ”. The amendment made by subsection (2) has effect with respect to chargeable periods ending after 31 December 2015. ALDA 1979 is amended as follows. In section 5 (rate of duty on spirits), for “£28.22” substitute “ £27.66 ”. In section 36(1AA) (rates of general beer duty)— in paragraph (za) (rate of duty on lower strength beer), for “£8.62” substitute “ £8.10 ”, and in paragraph (a) (standard rate of duty on beer), for “£18.74” substitute “ £18.37 ”. In section 37(4) (rate of high strength beer duty), for “£5.29” substitute “ £5.48 ”. In section 62(1A) (rates of duty on cider)— in paragraph (b) (cider of strength exceeding 7.5% which is not sparkling cider) for “£59.52” substitute “ £58.75 ”, and in paragraph (c) (other cider), for “£39.66” substitute “ £38.87 ”. For Part 2 of the table in Schedule 1 substitute— The amendments made by this section are treated as having come into force on 23 March 2015. ALDA 1979 is amended as set out in subsections (2) to (5). In section 4 (interpretation)— in subsection (1), in the definition of “wholesale”, after “ “wholesale”” insert “ (except in Part 6A) ”, in the Table in subsection (3), at the appropriate place insert— in subsection (4), after “Act” insert “ (except in Part 6A) ”. After Part 6 insert— This section defines certain expressions used in this Part. A sale is of “controlled liquor” if— it is a sale of dutiable alcoholic liquor on which duty is charged under this Act at a rate greater than nil, and the excise duty point for the liquor falls at or before the time of the sale. Controlled liquor is sold “wholesale” if— the sale is of any quantity of the liquor, the seller is carrying on a trade or business and the sale is made in the course of that trade or business, the sale is to a buyer carrying on a trade or business, for sale or supply in the course of that trade or business, and the sale is not an incidental sale, a group sale or an excluded sale, and a reference to buying controlled liquor wholesale is to be read accordingly. A sale is an “incidental sale” if— the seller makes authorised retail sales of alcoholic liquor of any description, and the sale is incidental to those sales. A sale is an “authorised retail sale” if it is made by retail under and in accordance with a licence or other authorisation under an enactment regulating the sale and supply of alcohol. A sale is a “group sale” if the seller and the buyer are both bodies corporate which are members of the same group (see section 88J). A sale is an “excluded sale” if it is of a description prescribed by or under regulations made by the Commissioners. “Controlled activity” means— selling controlled liquor wholesale, offering or exposing controlled liquor for sale in circumstances in which the sale (if made) would be a wholesale sale, or arranging in the course of a trade or business for controlled liquor to be sold wholesale, or offered or exposed for sale in circumstances in which the sale (if made) would be a wholesale sale. “UK person” means a person who is UK-established for the purposes of value added tax (see paragraph 1(10) of Schedule 1 to the Value Added Tax Act 1994). “Enactment” includes an enactment contained in— an Act of the Scottish Parliament; an Act or Measure of the National Assembly for Wales; Northern Ireland legislation. The Commissioners may by regulations make provision as to the cases in which sales are, or are not, to be treated for the purposes of this Part as— wholesale sales, sales of controlled liquor, incidental sales, authorised retail sales, or group sales. The Commissioners may by regulations make provision as to the cases in which a person is, or is not, to be treated for the purposes of this Part as carrying on a controlled activity by virtue of section 88A(8)(b) or (c) (offering and exposing for sale and arranging for sale etc). A UK person may not carry on a controlled activity otherwise than in accordance with an approval given by the Commissioners under this section. The Commissioners may approve a person under this section to carry on a controlled activity only if they are satisfied that the person is a fit and proper person to carry on the activity. The Commissioners may approve a person under this section to carry on a controlled activity for such periods and subject to such conditions or restrictions as they may think fit or as they may by or under regulations made by them prescribe. The conditions or restrictions may include conditions or restrictions requiring the controlled activity to be carried on only at or from premises specified or approved by the Commissioners. The Commissioners may at any time for reasonable cause revoke or vary the terms of an approval under this section. In this Part “approved person” means a person approved under this section to carry on a controlled activity.

The Commissioners must maintain a register of approved persons. The register is to contain such information relating to approved persons as the Commissioners consider appropriate. The Commissioners may make publicly available such information contained in the register as they consider necessary to enable those who deal with a person who carries on a controlled activity to determine whether the person in question is an approved person in relation to that activity. The information may be made available by such means (including on the internet) as the Commissioners consider appropriate. The Commissioners may by regulations make provision— regulating the approval and registration of persons under this Part, regulating the variation or revocation of any such approval or registration or of any condition or restriction to which such an approval or registration is subject, about the register maintained under section 88D, regulating the carrying on of controlled activities, and imposing obligations on approved persons. The regulations may, in particular, make provision— requiring applications, and other communications with the Commissioners, to be made electronically, as to the procedure for the approval and registration of bodies corporate which are members of the same group and for members of such a group to be jointly and severally liable for any penalties imposed under— the regulations, or Schedule 2B, requiring approved persons to keep and make available for inspection such records relating to controlled activities as may be prescribed by or under the regulations, imposing a penalty of an amount prescribed by the regulations (which must not exceed £1,000) for a contravention of— any condition or restriction imposed under this Part, for the assessment and recovery of such a penalty, and for dutiable alcoholic liquor (whether or not charged with any duty and whether or not that duty has been paid) to be subject to forfeiture for a contravention of— this Part or the regulations, or any condition or restriction imposed under this Part. A person may not buy controlled liquor wholesale from a UK person unless the UK person is an approved person in relation to the sale. A person who contravenes section 88C(1) by selling controlled liquor wholesale is guilty of an offence if the person knows or has reasonable grounds to suspect that— the buyer is carrying on a trade or business, and the liquor is for sale or supply in the course of that trade or business. A person who contravenes section 88C(1) by offering or exposing controlled liquor for sale in circumstances in which the sale (if made) would be a wholesale sale is guilty of an offence if the person intends to make a wholesale sale of the liquor. A person who contravenes section 88C(1) by arranging in the course of a trade or business for controlled liquor to be sold wholesale, or offered or exposed for sale in circumstances in which the sale (if made) would be a wholesale sale, is guilty of an offence if the person intends to arrange for the liquor to be sold wholesale. A person who contravenes section 88F is guilty of an offence if the person knows or has reasonable grounds to suspect that the UK person from whom the controlled liquor is bought is not an approved person in relation to the sale. A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction— in England and Wales to— imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, a fine, or both, in Scotland to— a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, or both, and in Northern Ireland to— imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months, both. A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on conviction on indictment to— imprisonment for a period not exceeding 7 years, The reference in subsection (5)(a)(i) to 12 months is to be read as a reference to 6 months in relation to an offence committed before the commencement of section 154(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003. Schedule 2B contains provision about penalties for contraventions of this Part. Regulations under this Part— may make provision which applies generally or only for specified cases or purposes, may make different provision for different cases or purposes, may include incidental, consequential, transitional or transitory provision, and may confer a discretion on the Commissioners. Two or more bodies corporate are members of a group for the purposes of this Part if each is established or has a fixed establishment in the United Kingdom and— one of them controls each of the others, one person (whether a body corporate or an individual) controls all of them, or two or more individuals carrying on a business in partnership control all of them. For the purposes of this section, a body corporate is to be taken to control another body corporate if— it is empowered by or under an enactment to control that body's activities, or it is that body's holding company within the meaning of section 1159 of, and Schedule 6 to, the Companies Act 2006. an individual or individuals are to be taken to control a body corporate if the individual or individuals (were the individual or individuals a company) would be that body's holding company within the meaning of section 1159 of, and Schedule 6 to, the Companies Act 2006, and a body corporate is established or has a fixed establishment in the United Kingdom if it is so established or has such an establishment for the purposes of value added tax. This Table lists the places where some of the expressions used in this Part are defined or otherwise explained. In section 90 (procedure for regulations)— A statutory instrument containing regulations under Part 6A is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons. in subsection (2), after “containing” insert “ any other ”. After Schedule 2A insert— A penalty is payable by a person (“P”) who contravenes section 88C(1) or 88F. If the contravention is deliberate and concealed, the amount of the penalty is the maximum amount (see paragraph 10). If the contravention is deliberate but not concealed, the amount of the penalty is 70% of the maximum amount. In any other case, the amount of the penalty is 30% of the maximum amount. The contravention is— “deliberate and concealed” if the contravention is deliberate and P makes arrangements to conceal the contravention, and “deliberate but not concealed” if the contravention is deliberate but P does not make arrangements to conceal the contravention. Paragraph 4 provides for reductions in penalties under this Schedule where P discloses a contravention. P discloses a contravention by— telling the Commissioners about it, giving the Commissioners reasonable help in identifying any other contraventions of section 88C(1) or 88F of which P is aware, and allowing the Commissioners access to records for the purpose of identifying such contraventions. Disclosure of a contravention— is “unprompted” if made at a time when P has no reason to believe that the Commissioners have discovered or are about to discover the contravention, and otherwise, is “prompted”. In relation to disclosure “quality” includes timing, nature and extent. Where P discloses a contravention, the Commissioners must reduce the penalty to one that reflects the quality of the disclosure. If the disclosure is prompted, the penalty may not be reduced below— in the case of a contravention that is deliberate and concealed, 50% of the maximum amount, in the case of a contravention that is deliberate but not concealed, 35% of the maximum amount, and in any other case, 20% of the maximum amount. If the disclosure is unprompted, the penalty may not be reduced below— in the case of a contravention that is deliberate and concealed, 30% of the maximum amount, in the case of a contravention that is deliberate but not concealed, 20% of the maximum amount, and in any other case, 10% of the maximum amount. If the Commissioners think it right because of special circumstances, they may reduce a penalty under this Schedule. In sub-paragraph (1) “special circumstances” does not include ability to pay. In sub-paragraph (1) the reference to reducing a penalty includes a reference to— staying a penalty, and agreeing a compromise in relation to proceedings for a penalty. Where P becomes liable for a penalty under this Schedule, the Commissioners must— assess the penalty, notify P, and state in the notice the contravention in respect of which the penalty is assessed. A penalty under this Schedule must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which notification of the penalty is issued. An assessment is to be treated as an amount of duty due from P under this Act and may be recovered accordingly. An assessment of a penalty under this Schedule may not be made later than one year after evidence of facts sufficient in the opinion of the Commissioners to indicate the contravention comes to their knowledge. Two or more contraventions may be treated by the Commissioners as a single contravention for the purposes of assessing a penalty under this Schedule. Liability to a penalty does not arise under this Schedule in respect of a contravention which is not deliberate if P satisfies the Commissioners or (on an appeal made to the appeal tribunal) the tribunal that there is a reasonable excuse for the contravention. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), where P relies on any other person to do anything, that is not a reasonable excuse unless P took reasonable care to avoid the contravention. Where a penalty under this Schedule is payable by a company in respect of a contravention which was attributable to an officer of the company, the officer is liable to pay such portion of the penalty (which may be 100%) as the Commissioners may specify by written notice to the officer. Sub-paragraph (1) does not allow the Commissioners to recover more than 100% of a penalty. In the application of sub-paragraph (1) to a body corporate other than a limited liability partnership, “officer” means— a director (including a shadow director within the meaning of section 251 of the Companies Act 2006), a manager, and a secretary. In the application of sub-paragraph (1) to a limited liability partnership, “officer” means a member. In the application of sub-paragraph (1) in any other case, “officer” means— a director, a manager, a secretary, and any other person managing or purporting to manage any of the company's affairs. Where the Commissioners have specified a portion of a penalty in a notice given to an officer under sub-paragraph (1)— paragraph 5 applies to the specified portion as to a penalty, the officer must pay the specified portion before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given, sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) of paragraph 6 apply as if the notice were an assessment of a penalty, and paragraph 9 applies as if the officer were liable to a penalty. In this paragraph “company” means any body corporate or unincorporated association, but does not include a partnership. P is not liable to a penalty under this Schedule in respect of a contravention in respect of which P has been convicted of an offence. In this Schedule “the maximum amount” means £10,000. If it appears to the Treasury that there has been a change in the value of money since the last relevant date, they may by regulations substitute for the sum for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (1) such other sum as appears to them to be justified by the change. In sub-paragraph (2), “relevant date” means— the date on which the Finance Act 2015 is passed, and each date on which the power conferred by that sub-paragraph has been exercised. Regulations under this paragraph do not apply to any contravention which occurred before the date on which they come into force. In this Schedule “appeal tribunal” has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Finance Act 1994. In section 13A(2) of FA 1994 (meaning of “relevant decision”), after paragraph (e) insert— any decision by HMRC that a person is liable to a penalty, or as to the amount of the person's liability, under— regulations under section 88E of the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979; or Schedule 2B to that Act; In Schedule 5 to that Act (decisions subject to review and appeal), in paragraph 3(1), after paragraph (o) insert— any decision for the purposes of Part 6A (wholesaling of controlled liquor) as to whether or not, and in which respects, any person is to be, or to continue to be, approved and registered or as to the conditions or restrictions subject to which any person is approved and registered. Subject as follows, the amendments made by this section come into force on the day on which this Act is passed. So far as relating to section 88C(1) of ALDA 1979, subsection (3) comes into force on 1 January 2016 (but see subsection (12) for the application of section 88C(1) in cases where an application has been made but not disposed of by that date). So far as relating to section 88F of ALDA 1979, subsection (3) comes into force on such day as the Treasury may by regulations made by statutory instrument appoint. An application for a person to be approved under section 88C of ALDA 1979 may not be made before 1 October 2015. Where such an application made before 1 January 2016 has not been disposed of by that date, section 88C(1) of ALDA 1979 does not apply in relation to the person until the application is disposed of. An application is “disposed of” when— it is determined by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, it is withdrawn, or it is abandoned or otherwise ceases to have effect. For the table in Schedule 1 to TPDA 1979 substitute— The amendment made by this section is treated as having come into force at 6 pm on 18 March 2015. After section 6 of TPDA 1979 (alteration of rates of duty) insert— If the Commissioners consider that an alteration to a rate of duty charged under section 2 on tobacco products may be made (whether under section 6 or otherwise), they may publish a notice under this section (an “anti-forestalling notice”). An anti-forestalling notice— must specify a period of up to 3 months (“the controlled period”), may impose such restrictions (“anti-forestalling restrictions”), as to the quantities of the tobacco products that may during the controlled period be removed for home use, as the Commissioners consider to be reasonable for the purpose of protecting the public revenue, may make provision for, and in connection with, the controlled period coming to an end early (including provision modifying an anti-forestalling restriction in such circumstances), may make provision for the removal of tobacco products for home use to be disregarded for the purposes of one or more anti-forestalling restrictions in certain circumstances, and may make different provision for different cases. The anti-forestalling restrictions that may be imposed include, in particular— restrictions as to the total quantity of the tobacco products, or of the tobacco products of a particular description, that may, during the controlled period, be removed for home use, and restrictions as to the quantity of the tobacco products, or the tobacco products of a particular description, that may be removed for home use during any month, or any period of two weeks, in the controlled period. This is subject to subsections (4) and (5). An anti-forestalling notice may not restrict a person, during the controlled period, to removing for home use a total quantity of the tobacco products, or of the tobacco products of a particular description, that is less than 80% of— TPY is the total quantity of the tobacco products, or (as the case may be) of the tobacco products of a particular description, removed for home use by the person in the period of 12 months ending with the third month before the month in which the controlled period begins, and DCP is the number of days in the controlled period. An anti-forestalling notice may not restrict a person, in any month of the controlled period, to removing for home use less than 30% of the total quantity of the tobacco products, or of the tobacco products of a particular description, that could, under the anti-forestalling restrictions imposed by the notice, be removed for home use during the whole controlled period. If, before the end of the controlled period, it appears to the Commissioners that the rate of duty— will not be altered during the controlled period, but may be altered within a month of the end of the controlled period, the Commissioners may publish an extension notice. An extension notice may— extend the controlled period by up to one month, and in accordance with subsections (2) to (5), make such other modifications of the anti-forestalling notice as the Commissioners think appropriate in consequence of the extension. The Commissioners may vary or revoke an anti-forestalling notice— as it applies generally, or if the Commissioners consider that exceptional circumstances justify doing so, in relation to a particular person. This section does not affect the Commissioners' powers— under section 128 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (restriction of delivery of goods), or to make regulations under section 7 of this Act in relation to periods specified under that section of that Act. This section applies if a person fails to comply with an anti-forestalling notice published under section 6A by, on one or more occasions, removing tobacco products for home use during the controlled period in contravention of an anti-forestalling restriction. The failure to comply attracts a penalty under section 9 of the Finance Act 1994 (civil penalties) of an amount determined in accordance with subsection (3) (rather than that section). The person is liable to a penalty of— if the person has given an admission notice, 150% of the lost duty, and otherwise, 200% of the lost duty. An “admission notice” is a notice— in which the person admits that the person— has failed to comply with the anti-forestalling notice, and is liable to a penalty determined in accordance with subsection (3), and that is in such form, and that provides such information, as the Commissioners may specify. An admission notice cannot be given if, at any time in the period of 3 years ending with the day before the controlled period, the person has given an admission notice in relation to a failure to comply with another anti-forestalling notice. An admission notice cannot be given— at a time when the person has reason to believe that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs have discovered, or are about to discover, that the person has failed to comply with the anti-forestalling notice, or after the end of the controlled period. The “lost duty” is the amount (if any) by which the duty that would have been charged under section 2 on the excess tobacco products if they had, immediately after the end of the controlled period, been removed for home use exceeds the duty that was charged under that section on those tobacco products. The “excess tobacco products” are the tobacco products mentioned in subsection (1) that the person removed, for home use, in contravention of an anti-forestalling restriction. See section 6A for the meaning of “anti-forestalling notice”, “anti-forestalling restriction” and “controlled period”. In section 31 of FA 1994 (passengers: exceptions), after subsection (4) insert— A child who has not attained the age of 16 years is not a chargeable passenger in relation to a flight if the child's agreement for carriage— is evidenced by a ticket, and provides for standard class travel in relation to every flight on the child's journey. Subsections (10) to (12) of section 30 (meaning of “standard class travel”) apply for the purposes of subsection (4ZA) as they apply for the purposes of that section. The amendment made by this section has effect in relation to any carriage of a passenger which begins on or after 1 May 2015. But, in relation to any carriage of a passenger which begins before 1 March 2016, section 31(4ZA) of FA 1994 has effect as if for “16 years” there were substituted “ 12 years ”. Schedule 1 to VERA 1994 (annual rates of duty) is amended as follows. In paragraph 1B (graduated rates of duty for light passenger vehicles)— for the tables substitute— in the sentence immediately following the tables, for paragraphs (a) and (b) substitute— in column (3), in the last two rows, “280” were substituted for “480” and “ 495 ”, and in column (4), in the last two rows, “290” were substituted for “490” and “ 505 ”. In paragraph 2(1) (VED rates for motorcycles)— in paragraph (c), for “£58” substitute “ £59 ”, and in paragraph (d), for “£80” substitute “ £81 ”. The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to licences taken out on or after 1 April 2015. In Schedule 2 to VERA 1994 (exempt vehicles) in paragraph 1A(1) (exemption for old vehicles) for the words from “constructed” to the end substitute “ constructed before 1 January 1976 ”. The amendment made by subsection (1) comes into force on 1 April 2016; but nothing in that subsection has the effect that a nil licence is required to be in force in respect of a vehicle while a vehicle licence is in force in respect of it. In section 11(2) of FA 1997 (rates of gaming duty) for the table substitute— The amendment made by this section has effect in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2015. Part 2 of FA 2001 (aggregates levy) is amended in accordance with subsections (2) to (6). After section 30A insert— The Commissioners may by regulations make provision of the kind described in section 30(2) (entitlement to tax credit) in relation to cases within subsection (3) below. Tax credit to which a person is entitled under the regulations is referred to in this section as “special tax credit”. The cases are where— a person has been charged with, and has fully accounted for, aggregates levy in respect of the commercial exploitation of a quantity of aggregate, and the exploitation was of imported aggregate and occurred in Northern Ireland in the period defined in subsection (5). For this purpose aggregate is “imported” if it was won from a site in a member State other than the United Kingdom. The period mentioned in subsection (3)(b)— begins with 1 April 2004, and ends with 30 November 2010. Regulations may in particular— provide that a person is not entitled to special tax credit unless the Department of the Environment in Northern Ireland (“the Department”) has certified under section 30D(4) that it is satisfied that specified requirements were met in relation to the site from which the aggregate originates during a period which includes the time when the aggregate was won from the site (and the certification has not been revoked); specify further conditions for entitlement to special tax credit; make provision about the rate at which special tax credit is to be given (including provision restricting the amount of special tax credit in cases where entitlement to a tax credit has already arisen); provide for compound interest at the applicable rate (see section 30C) to be treated as added, for such period and for such purposes as may be prescribed, to the amount of any special tax credit; authorise the Commissioners to adjust a person's claim for special tax credit in specified circumstances. Regulations under subsection (6)(a) may specify the requirements in question by reference to any provisions of a notice published by the Department in pursuance of the regulations and not withdrawn by a further notice. Subsection (3) of section 30 (except paragraph (f) of that subsection) applies to regulations under this section as it applies to regulations under that section. Section 32(1) (time limit for claims) does not apply to a claim for repayment of aggregates levy made under regulations under this section. The reference in section 30B(6)(d) to the applicable rate is to a rate provided for in regulations made by the Treasury. provide for the rate to be determined, and to change from time to time, by reference to a rate referred to in the regulations; include provision for different rates to apply at different times in a period for which interest is due to a person. Regulations under this section are to be made by statutory instrument. A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons. A person may, for the purpose of making a claim for special tax credit, apply to the Department for a certification under subsection (4)(a). The application must specify— a site, and a time (“the relevant time”). Where a certification relating to a site has been wholly or partly revoked by virtue of subsection (7)(b), an application specifying that site may not specify a time falling within the period with respect to which the revocation has effect. Where an application is made and the Department has not previously made a certification under paragraph (a) relating to both the specified site and a period that includes the relevant time, the Department must either— certify that it is satisfied that any requirements specified by virtue of section 30B(6)(a) were met in relation to the site during a period (specified in the certification) that includes the relevant time, or refuse the application. If the Department makes a certification under subsection (4)(a) (a “special tax credit certification”) it must give a written notice of the certification to— the applicant, and HMRC. Where an application is made and the Department has previously made a special tax credit certification relating to both the specified site and a period that includes the relevant time, the Department must give the applicant a written notice of that certification. The Commissioners may by regulations— make provision about the time within which an application under subsection (1) must be made and the form and content of such an application; authorise the Department to revoke a special tax credit certification with respect to the whole or part of the period to which the certification relates if the Department is satisfied that its decision as regards the meeting of the relevant requirements (or that decision, so far as relating to the relevant part of that period) was not correct; make any other provision that is necessary in connection with paragraph (b) and subsection (8); provide that a revocation by virtue of paragraph (b) may not be made after a specified date. A special tax credit certification is to be treated as never having had effect in relation to any period with respect to which it is revoked by virtue of subsection (7)(b). Regulations under this section which make provision such as is mentioned in subsection (7)(b) must require the Department to inform the Commissioners, and any other person to whom the Department has given a written notice of the certification, if the Department revokes a special tax credit certification. Any expenses of the Department under or by virtue of this section or section 30B are to be appropriated from the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland by Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly. In this section “the Department” and “special tax credit” have the same meaning as in section 30B. In section 17 (meaning of “aggregate” and “taxable aggregate”), in subsection (6)(a), for “or 30A” substitute “ , 30A or 30B ”. In section 48(1) (interpretation of Part), in the definition of “tax credit regulations”, for “or 30A” substitute “ , 30A or 30B ”. In paragraph 9A of Schedule 6 (incorrect records etc evidencing claim for tax credit), in sub-paragraph (1)(a)— omit the “or” at the end of sub-paragraph (i), and after sub-paragraph (ii) insert section 30B(3) of this Act (special tax credit in Northern Ireland); In paragraph 2 of Schedule 8 (interest payable by the Commissioners), in sub-paragraph (3)— in paragraph (b), for “of this Act; but” substitute “ or 30B(6)(d); ”, and after paragraph (b) insert— do not include the amount of any tax credit to which a person is entitled by virtue of section 30B(1); but In paragraph 42(1) of Schedule 6 to FA 2000 (climate change levy: amount payable by way of levy) for the table substitute— The amendment made by this section has effect in relation to supplies treated as taking place on or after 1 April 2016. Schedule 6 to FA 2000 (climate change levy) is amended as follows. In paragraph 24B (deemed taxable supply: commodities to be used in combined heat and power station)— in sub-paragraph (2), at the end insert “ to which sub-paragraph (2A) does not apply ”, after that sub-paragraph insert— This sub-paragraph applies to electricity so far as— it is included in the CHP Qualifying Power Output of the combined heat and power station's CHPQA scheme, and either condition A or B is met. Condition A is that the producer of the electricity makes no supply of it to another person, but causes it to be consumed in the United Kingdom.

The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to carbon price support rate commodities brought onto, or arriving at, a CHPQA site of a combined heat and power station in Great Britain on or after 1 April 2015. Section 42 of FA 1996 (amount of landfill tax) is amended as follows. In subsection (1) (standard rate), for paragraph (a) (but not the “or” following it) substitute— £84.40 for each whole tonne disposed of and a proportionately reduced sum for any additional part of a tonne, In subsection (2) (reduced rate for certain disposals), for the words from “reference” to the end substitute “ reference to £84.40 were to £2.65. ” The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to disposals made (or treated as made) on or after 1 April 2016.

Section 101(1) of FA 2013 does not apply in relation to the chargeable period beginning on 1 April 2015. Accordingly, the Treasury is not required to make an order under section 101(5) of FA 2013 in respect of that period. In section 102 of FA 2013 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings: taxable value), after subsection (2) insert— But a day that is a valuation date only because of subsection (2)(b) (a “5-yearly valuation date”) is to be treated as if it were not a valuation date for the purpose of determining the taxable value of a single-dwelling interest on any day in the chargeable period beginning with that 5-yearly valuation date. Section 110 of FA 2013 (interests held by connected persons) is amended as follows. In subsection (1), after “If on any day” insert “ (“the relevant day”) ”. omit “on the day in question”; after “P's single dwelling interest” insert “ on the relevant day ”; for “£500,000” substitute “ £250,000 ”. Subsection (2B) applies in any case where— C would (without subsection (2B)) be treated, as a result of subsection (1) (read with section 109), as entitled to a single-dwelling interest with a taxable value (on the relevant day) of more than £2 million, but C would not be so treated if the value specified in subsection (2) were £500,000 (instead of £250,000). Subsection (2) has effect as if the value specified in it were £500,000 (instead of £250,000). The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to chargeable periods beginning on or after 1 April 2015. Part 3 of FA 2013 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings) is amended as follows. In section 159 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings return), after subsection (3) insert— Where a person— would (apart from this subsection) be required in accordance with subsection (2) to deliver a return for a chargeable period (“the later period”) by 30 April in that period, and is also required in accordance with subsection (3) to deliver a return for the previous chargeable period by a date (“the later date”) which is later than 30 April in the later period, subsection (2) has effect as if it required the return mentioned in paragraph (a) to be delivered by the later date. After section 159 insert— “Relief declaration return” means an annual tax on enveloped dwellings return which— states that it is a relief declaration return, relates to one (and only one) of the types of relief listed in the table in subsection (9), and specifies which type of relief it relates to. A relief declaration return may be made in respect of one or more single-dwelling interests. A relief declaration return delivered to an officer of Revenue and Customs on a particular day (“the day of the claim”) is treated as made in respect of any single-dwelling interest in relation to which the conditions in subsection (4) are met (but need not contain information which identifies the particular single-dwelling interest or interests concerned). The conditions are that— the person making the return is within the charge with respect to the single-dwelling interest on the day of the claim; the day of the claim is relievable in relation to the single-dwelling interest by virtue of a provision which relates to the type of relief specified in the return (see subsection (9)); none of the days in the pre-claim period is a taxable day. The statement under subsection (1)(a) in a relief declaration return is treated as a claim for interim relief (see section 100) with respect to the single-dwelling interest (or interests) in respect of which the return is made. Subsection (7) applies where— a person has delivered to an officer of Revenue and Customs on any day a relief declaration return for a chargeable period with respect to one or more single-dwelling interests (“the existing return”), and there is a subsequent day (“day S”) in the same chargeable period on which the relevant conditions are met in relation to another single-dwelling interest. The existing return is treated as also made with respect to that other single-dwelling interest. For the purposes of subsection (6)(b), the “relevant conditions” are the same as the conditions in subsection (4), except that for this purpose references in subsection (4) to the day of the claim are to be read as references to day S. This table sets out the numbered types of relief to which the provisions specified in the left hand column relate— has failed to make annual tax on enveloped dwellings returns in respect of two or more single-dwelling interests, and could have discharged the duties in question by making a single relief declaration return in respect of all the interests, the failure may be taken, for the purposes of Schedule 55 to FA 2009, to be a failure to make a single annual tax on enveloped dwellings return. “pre-claim period” has the same meaning as in section 100; “taxable day”, in relation to a person and a single-dwelling interest, means a day on which the person is within the charge with respect to the interest, other than a day which is relievable in relation to the interest. In section 161 (return to include self-assessment), for subsection (2) substitute— In subsection (1) “return” means— an annual tax on enveloped dwellings return, or a return of the adjusted chargeable amount. The reference in subsection (2)(a) to an annual tax on enveloped dwellings return does not include a relief declaration return. In Schedule 33 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings: returns etc)— in paragraph 2(a), after “159” insert “ , 159A ”; in paragraph 20(1), for “in question, the self assessment included in that return” substitute “ in question containing a self assessment, that self assessment ”. The amendments made by subsections (1) to (5) have effect for chargeable periods beginning on or after 1 April 2015. In a case (not falling within section 109(5) of FA 2014) which falls within subsection (8), section 159 of FA 2013 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings return) has effect with the same modifications as are set out in section 109(6) of FA 2014 (which provides for extended filing periods in certain cases). The case is where— a person has a duty to deliver to an officer of Revenue and Customs an annual tax on enveloped dwellings return with respect to a single-dwelling interest for the chargeable period beginning with 1 April 2015, and the circumstances on the first day in that chargeable period on which that person is within the charge with respect to that single-dwelling interest are such that that duty could be discharged by the delivery to an officer of Revenue and Customs on that day of a relief declaration return. In section 6 of IHTA 1984 (excluded property), for subsection (1B) substitute— A relevant decoration or award is excluded property if it has never been the subject of a disposition for a consideration in money or money's worth. In subsection (1B) “relevant decoration or award” means a decoration or other similar award— that is designed to be worn to denote membership of— an Order that is, or has been, specified in the Order of Wear published in the London Gazette (“the Order of Wear”), or an Order of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, that is, or has been, specified in the Order of Wear, that was awarded for valour or gallant conduct, that was awarded for, or in connection with, a person being, or having been, a member of, or employed or engaged in connection with, the armed forces of any country or territory, that was awarded for, or in connection with, a person being, or having been, an emergency responder within the meaning of section 153A (death of emergency service personnel etc), or that was awarded by the Crown or a country or territory outside the United Kingdom for, or in connection with, public service or achievement in public life. The amendment made by subsection (1) has effect in relation to transfers of value made, or treated as made, on or after 3 December 2014. IHTA 1984 is amended as follows. After section 153 insert— The reliefs in subsection (2) apply where a person— dies from an injury sustained, accident occurring or disease contracted at a time when that person was responding to emergency circumstances in that person's capacity as an emergency responder, or dies from a disease contracted at some previous time, the death being due to, or hastened by, the aggravation of the disease during a period when that person was responding to emergency circumstances in that person's capacity as an emergency responder.

The reliefs are— that no potentially exempt transfer made by the person becomes a chargeable transfer under section 3A(4) because of the death, that section 4 (transfers on death) does not apply in relation to the death, and that no additional tax becomes due under section 7(4) because of a transfer made by the person within 7 years of the death. “Emergency circumstances” means circumstances which are present or imminent and are causing or likely to cause— the death of a person, serious injury to, or the serious illness of, a person, the death of an animal, serious injury to, or the serious illness of, an animal, serious harm to the environment (including the life and health of plants and animals), serious harm to any building or other property, or a worsening of any such injury, illness or harm. A person is “responding to emergency circumstances” if the person— is going anywhere for the purpose of dealing with emergency circumstances occurring there, or is dealing with emergency circumstances, preparing to do so imminently or dealing with the immediate aftermath of emergency circumstances. For the purposes of this section, circumstances to which a person is responding are to be taken to be emergency circumstances if the person believes and has reasonable grounds for believing they are or may be emergency circumstances. “Emergency responder” means— a person employed, or engaged, in connection with the provision of fire services or fire and rescue services, a person employed for the purposes of providing, or engaged to provide, search services or rescue services (or both), a person employed for the purposes of providing, or engaged to provide, medical, ambulance or paramedic services, a constable or a person employed for police purposes or engaged to provide services for police purposes, a person employed for the purposes of providing, or engaged to provide, services for the transportation of organs, blood, medical equipment or medical personnel, or a person employed, or engaged, by the government of a state or territory, an international organisation or a charity in connection with the provision of humanitarian assistance. it is immaterial whether the employment or engagement is paid or unpaid, and “international organisation” means an organisation of which— two or more sovereign powers are members, or the governments of two or more sovereign powers are members. The Treasury may, by regulations made by statutory instrument, extend the definition of “emergency responder” in subsection (6). Regulations under this section are subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons. In section 154 (death on active service)— in subsection (1), for “Section 4 shall not apply” substitute “ The reliefs in subsection (1A) apply ”, after that subsection insert— that no potentially exempt transfer made by the deceased becomes a chargeable transfer under section 3A(4) because of the death, that no additional tax becomes due under section 7(4) because of a transfer made by the deceased within 7 years of the death. in subsection (2) omit “either” and after paragraph (b) insert responding to emergency circumstances in the course of the person's duties as a member of any of those armed forces or as a civilian subject to service discipline. Section 153A(3) to (5) applies for the purposes of this section. After section 155 insert— The reliefs in subsection (3) apply where a person— dies from an injury sustained or disease contracted in circumstances where the person was deliberately targeted by reason of his or her status as a constable or former constable, or dies from a disease contracted at some previous time, the death being due to, or hastened by, the aggravation of the disease by an injury sustained or disease contracted in circumstances mentioned in paragraph (a). The reliefs in subsection (3) apply where it is certified by the Defence Council or the Secretary of State that a person— died from an injury sustained or disease contracted in circumstances where the person was deliberately targeted by reason of his or her status as a service person or former service person, or died from a disease contracted at some previous time, the death being due to, or hastened by, the aggravation of the disease by an injury sustained or disease contracted in circumstances mentioned in paragraph (a). For the purposes of this section, it is immaterial whether a person who was a constable or service person at the time the injury was sustained or the disease was contracted was acting in the course of his or her duties as such at that time (and for this purpose ignore the references in subsections (1)(b) and (2)(b) to a disease contracted at some previous time). “Service person” means a person who is a member of the armed forces of the Crown or a civilian subject to service discipline (within the meaning of the Armed Forces Act 2006). This section does not apply where section 153A or 154 applies in relation to a person's death. The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to deaths occurring on or after 19 March 2014. Schedule 19 to FA 2011 (bank levy) is amended as follows. In paragraph 6 (steps for determining the amount of the bank levy), in sub-paragraph (2)— for “0.078%” substitute “ 0.105% ”, and for “0.156%” substitute “ 0.21% ”. In paragraph 7 (special provision for chargeable periods falling wholly or partly before 1 January 2014)— in sub-paragraph (1) for “1 January 2014” substitute “ 1 April 2015 ”; in sub-paragraph (2), in the first column of the table in the substituted Step 7, for “ Any time on or after 1 January 2014 ” substitute “1 January 2014 to 31 March 2015”; at the end of that table add— in the italic heading before paragraph 7, for “1 January 2014” substitute “ 1 April 2015 ”. The amendments made by subsections (2) and (3) come into force on 1 April 2015. Subsections (6) to (12) apply where— an amount of the bank levy is treated as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on an entity (“E”) for an accounting period of E, the chargeable period in respect of which the amount of the bank levy is charged begins before but ends on or after 1 April 2015, and under the Instalment Payment Regulations, one or more instalment payments, in respect of the total liability of E for the accounting period, were treated as becoming due and payable before 1 April 2015 (“pre-commencement instalment payments”). Subsections (1) to (4) are to be ignored for the purpose of determining the amount of any pre-commencement instalment payment. If there is at least one instalment payment, in respect of the total liability of E for the accounting period, which under the Instalment Payment Regulations is treated as becoming due and payable on or after 1 April 2015 (“post-commencement instalment payments”), the amount of that instalment payment, or the first of them, is to be increased by the adjustment amount. If there are no post-commencement instalment payments, a further instalment payment, in respect of the total liability of E for the accounting period, of an amount equal to the adjustment amount is to be treated as becoming due and payable on 30 April 2015. “The adjustment amount” is the difference between— the aggregate amount of the pre-commencement instalment payments determined in accordance with subsection (6), and the aggregate amount of those instalment payments determined ignoring subsection (6) (and so taking account of subsections (1) to (4)). In the Instalment Payment Regulations— in regulations 6(1)(a), 7(2), 8(1)(a) and (2)(a), 9(5), 10(1), 11(1) and 13, references to regulation 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 5, 5A or 5B of those Regulations are to be read as including a reference to subsections (5) to (9) (and in regulation 7(2) “the regulation in question”, and in regulation 8(2) “that regulation”, are to be read accordingly), and in regulation 9(3), the reference to those Regulations is to be read as including a reference to subsections (5) to (9). In section 59D of TMA 1970 (general rule as to when corporation tax is due and payable), in subsection (5), the reference to section 59E is to be read as including a reference to subsections (5) to (10). “the chargeable period” is to be construed in accordance with paragraph 4 or (as the case may be) 5 of Schedule 19 to FA 2011; “the Instalment Payment Regulations” means the Corporation Tax (Instalment Payments) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/3175); and references to the total liability of E for an accounting period are to be construed in accordance with regulation 2(3) of the Instalment Payment Regulations. Schedule 17 contains amendments relating to the disclosure of tax avoidance schemes. Schedule 18 contains provision about the relationship between accelerated payments and group relief. Schedule 19 contains provision about promoters of tax avoidance schemes.

Schedule 55 to FA 2009 (penalties for failure to make returns etc), and Schedule 43C to FA 2013 (as amended by FA 2016). That Schedule comes into force on such day as the Treasury may by order appoint. An order under subsection (2)— may commence a provision generally or only for specified purposes, and may appoint different days for different provisions or for different purposes. The power to make an order under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument. Schedule 21 contains provision for imposing an additional penalty in cases where— a person is liable for a penalty for a failure to comply with an obligation or provide a document, or for providing an inaccurate document, relating to income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax, and there is a related transfer of, or change in the ownership arrangements for, an asset situated or held outside the United Kingdom. In the enactments to which Part 1 of Schedule 6 to FA 2010 applies, any reference to a charity includes— the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and the Imperial War Graves Endowment Fund Trustees. The Treasury may redeem at par any stock— which is described in Schedule 1 to the National Debt Act 1870, or to which that Act applies by virtue of section 1(5) of the National Debt (Conversion of Stock) Act 1884 or section 2(5) of the National Debt (Conversion) Act 1888. The Treasury must give at least 3 months' notice in the London Gazette of their intention to redeem any stock under this section. The sums required to redeem the stock are charged on the National Loans Fund, with recourse to the Consolidated Fund (and section 22(2) of the National Loans Act 1968 applies for the purposes of this section as if this section were contained in that Act).

The following are repealed— section 19 of the Revenue, Friendly Societies, and National Debt Act 1882, the National Debt (Conversion of Stock) Act 1884, and the National Debt (Conversion) Act 1888.

This section contains definitions of terms used in sections 269B to 269BB (and this section). “Asset management activities” means activities which consist (or, if they were carried on in the United Kingdom, would consist) of any or all of the following— acting as the operator of a collective investment scheme (within the meaning of Part 17 of FISMA 2000: see sections 235 and 237 of that Act), acting as a discretionary investment manager for clients none of which is a linked entity (see subsection (3)), and acting as an authorised corporate director. In subsection (2)(b) “linked entity”, in relation to an entity (“E”), means— a member of the same group as E, a company in which a company which is a member of the same group as E has a major interest (within the meaning of Part 5 of CTA 2009: see section 473 of that Act), or a partnership the members of which include an entity— which is a member of the same group as E, and whose share of the profits or losses of a trade carried on by the partnership for an accounting period of the partnership any part of which falls within the relevant accounting period is at least a 40% share (see Part 17 of CTA 2009 for provisions about shares of partnership profits and losses). “The relevant accounting period” means the accounting period referred to in section 269B(3). “Building society” has the same meaning as in the Building Societies Act 1986. “Insurance company” and “insurance special purpose vehicle” have the meanings given by sections 65 and 139 of FA 2012 respectively. “Partnership” includes— a limited liability partnership, and an entity established under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom of a similar character to a partnership, and “member”, in relation to a partnership, is to be read accordingly. The terms in subsection (8)— in relation to a PRA-authorised person, have the meaning given by the PRA Handbook; in relation to any other authorised person, have the meaning given by the FCA Handbook. The terms referred to in subsection (7) are— “authorised corporate director”; “BIPRU 730k firm”; “contracts for differences”; “discretionary investment manager”; “exempt BIPRU commodities firm”; “exempt IFPRU commodities firm”; “full scope BIPRU investment firm”; “full scope IFPRU investment firm”; “IFPRU 730k firm”; “pension scheme”; “principal”; “retail client”. A company or partnership which would be a BIPRU 730k firm and a full scope BIPRU investment firm by virtue of activities carried on in the United Kingdom but for the fact that its registered office (or, if it does not have a registered office, its head office) is not in the United Kingdom is to be treated as being one for the purposes of section 269B. A company or partnership which would be an IFPRU 730k firm and a full scope IFPRU investment firm by virtue of activities carried on in the United Kingdom but for the fact that its registered office (or, if it does not have a registered office, its head office) is not in the United Kingdom is to be treated as being one for the purposes of section 269B. In subsection (7)— “authorised person” and “PRA-authorised person” have the same meaning as in FISMA 2000; “the FCA Handbook” means the Handbook made by the Financial Conduct Authority under FISMA 2000 (as that Handbook has effect from time to time); “the PRA Handbook” means the Handbook made by the Prudential Regulation Authority under FISMA 2000 (as that Handbook has effect from time to time). In this Part “group” means a group for the purposes of— those provisions of international accounting standards relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements (whether or not the company that is the parent within the meaning of those provisions (“the parent company”) prepares financial statements under those standards), or in a case where subsection (2) applies, those provisions of US GAAP which relate to the preparation of consolidated financial statements. This subsection applies if— as at the end of a period of account of the parent company— the parent company is resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom, generally accepted accounting practice for companies resident in that territory is or includes US GAAP, and the parent company is a parent for the purposes of those provisions of US GAAP which relate to the preparation of consolidated financial statements (as well as being a parent for the purposes of the provisions mentioned in subsection (1)(a)), and the parent company prepares consolidated financial statements for the period of account under US GAAP. Accordingly, for the purposes of this Part a company is a member of a group if— it is the parent company in relation to the group, or it is a member of the group for the purposes of the provisions mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) (as the case may be). In this section “US GAAP” means United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Section 1127(1) and (3) (meaning of “generally accepted accounting practice”) do not apply for the purposes of this section. The Treasury may by regulations make such amendments of this Part as they consider appropriate in consequence of— any change made to, or replacement of, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/544) (or any replacement); any change made to, or replacement of, the FCA Handbook or the PRA Handbook (or any replacement); any change in international accounting standards or US GAAP; any regulatory requirement, or change to any regulatory requirement, imposed by EU legislation, or by or under any Act (whenever adopted, enacted or made). “the FCA Handbook” and “the PRA Handbook” have the meaning given by section 269BC(11); “US GAAP” has the meaning given by section 269BD(4). This Chapter contains provision restricting the amount of certain deductions which a banking company may make in calculating its taxable total profits for an accounting period. Sections 269CA to 269CD contain the restrictions. Sections 269CE to 269CH contain exceptions to the restrictions. Section 269CK contains anti-avoidance provision. Sections 269CL to 269CN contain supplementary provision and definitions. For the meaning of “banking company”, see section 269B. This section has effect for determining the taxable total profits of a banking company for an accounting period. Any deduction made by the company for the accounting period in respect of a pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss may not exceed 50% of the company's relevant trading profits for the accounting period. Section 269CD contains provision for calculating a company's relevant trading profits for an accounting period (see step 5 in subsection (1) of that section). But subsection (2) does not apply where the amount given by step 1 in section 269CD(1) is not greater than nil. In this Chapter “pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss”, in relation to a company and an accounting period (“the current accounting period”), means a loss which— was made in a trade of the company in an accounting period ending before 1 April 2015, and is carried forward to the current accounting period under section 45 (carry forward of trade loss against subsequent trade profits). See also sections 269CE to 269CH (losses to which restrictions do not apply). Any deduction made by the company for the accounting period in respect of a pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit may not exceed 50% of the company's relevant non-trading profits for the accounting period. Section 269CD contains provision for calculating a company's relevant non-trading profits for an accounting period (see step 6 in subsection (1) of that section). In this Chapter “pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit”, in relation to a company and an accounting period (“the current accounting period”), means a non-trading deficit— which the company had from its loan relationships under section 301(6) of CTA 2009 for an accounting period ending before 1 April 2015, and which is carried forward under section 457 of that Act (carry forward of deficits to accounting periods after deficit period) to be set off against non-trading profits of the current accounting period. In subsection (4) “non-trading profits” has the same meaning as in section 457 of CTA 2009. Any deduction made by the company for the accounting period in respect of pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses may not exceed the relevant maximum (see subsection (7)). In this Chapter “pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses”, in relation to a company and an accounting period (“the current accounting period”), means amounts falling within subsection (5) or (6). The amounts within this subsection are amounts— which fall within subsection (2) of section 1223 of CTA 2009 (carrying forward expenses of management and other amounts), which— for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 16 of CTA 2009 are referable to an accounting period ending before 1 April 2015, or in the case of qualifying charitable donations, were made in such an accounting period, and which are treated by section 1223(3) of CTA 2009 as expenses of management deductible for the current accounting period. The amounts within this subsection are amounts of loss which— were made in an accounting period ending before 1 April 2015, and are treated by section 63(3) (carrying forward certain losses made by company with investment business which ceases to carry on UK property business) as expenses of management deductible for the current accounting period for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 16 of CTA 2009. The relevant maximum is determined as follows— Step 1 Calculate 50% of the company's relevant profits for the accounting period. Section 269CD contains provision for calculating a company's relevant profits for an accounting period. Step 2 Calculate the sum of any deductions made by the company for the accounting period which are— deductions in respect of a pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss, or deductions in respect of a pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit. Step 3 The relevant maximum is the difference between the amount given by step 1 and the amount given by step 2. If the amount given by step 1 does not exceed the amount given by step 2, the relevant maximum is nil. To determine a company's relevant profits for an accounting period— Step 1 Calculate the company's total profits for the accounting period, ignoring any pre-2015 carried-forward trading losses or pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficits. (If the amount given by this step is not greater than nil, no further steps are to be taken: see sections 269CA(3), 269CB(3) and 269CC(3).) Step 2 Divide the amount given by step 1 into profits that are profits of a trade of the company (the company's “trade profits”) and profits that are not profits of a trade of the company (the company's “non-trading profits”). Step 3 Calculate the proportion (“the trading proportion”) of the amount given by step 1 that consists of the company's trade profits and the proportion (“the non-trading proportion”) of that amount that consists of its non-trading profits. Step 4 Calculate the sum of any amounts which can be relieved against the company's total profits for the accounting period (as calculated in accordance with step 1), ignoring the amount of any excluded deductions for the accounting period (see subsection (2)). Step 5 Deduct the trading proportion of the amount given by step 4 from the company's trade profits for the accounting period. The amount given by this step is the company's relevant trading profits for the accounting period. If the amount given by this step is not greater than nil, the company's relevant trading profits for the accounting period are nil. Step 6 Deduct the non-trading proportion of the amount given by step 4 from the company's non-trading profits for the accounting period. The amount given by this step is the company's relevant non-trading profits for the accounting period. If the amount given by this step is not greater than nil, the company's relevant non-trading profits for the accounting period are nil. Step 7 The company's relevant profits for the accounting period are the sum of its relevant trading profits for the accounting period and its relevant non-trading profits for the accounting period. The following are “excluded deductions” in relation to an accounting period (“the current accounting period”)— a deduction made in respect of pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses; a deduction for relief under section 37 (relief for trade losses against total profits) in relation to a loss made in an accounting period after the current accounting period; a deduction for relief under section 260(3) of CAA 2001 (special leasing of plant or machinery: carry-back of excess allowances) in relation to capital allowances for an accounting period after the current accounting period; a deduction for relief under section 459 of CTA 2009 (non-trading deficits from loan relationships) in relation to a deficit for a deficit period after the current accounting period. In this section “the first banking accounting period”, in relation to a company, means the accounting period in which the company first begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity. References in this Chapter to a pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss do not include a loss which was made in a trade of a company in an accounting period ending before the first banking accounting period. References in this Chapter to a pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit do not include a non-trading deficit which a company had from its loan relationships under section 301(6) of CTA 2009 for an accounting period ending before the first banking accounting period. References in this Chapter to pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses, in relation to a company, do not include— any amounts falling within section 269CC(5) which— for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 16 of CTA 2009 are referable to an accounting period ending before the first banking accounting period, or in the case of qualifying charitable donations, were made in an accounting period ending before the first banking accounting period, or any amounts of loss falling within section 269CC(6) which were made in an accounting period ending before the first banking accounting period. Section 269CL contains provision for determining when a company first begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity. References in this Chapter to a pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss do not include a loss which was made in a trade of a company in an accounting period ending in the company's start-up period. References in this Chapter to a pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit do not include a non-trading deficit which a company had from its loan relationships under section 301(6) of CTA 2009 for an accounting period ending in the company's start-up period. for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 16 of CTA 2009 are referable to an accounting period ending in the company's start-up period, or in the case of qualifying charitable donations, were made in such an accounting period, or any amounts of loss falling within section 269CC(6) which were made in an accounting period ending in the company's start-up period. For the purposes of this Chapter any amounts which, by virtue of subsections (1) to (3), are not relevant carried-forward losses of a company are to be regarded as having been taken into account in determining the taxable total profits of the company for accounting periods ending before 1 April 2015 before any amounts which are relevant carried-forward losses of the company. Subsection (6) applies where a company has an accounting period (“the straddling period”) beginning before, and ending after, the last day of its start-up period. so much of the straddling period as falls within the start-up period, and so much of the straddling period as falls outside the start-up period, are treated as separate accounting periods, and any relevant carried-forward losses of the company for the straddling period are apportioned to the two separate accounting periods— in accordance with section 1172 (time basis), or if that method would produce a result that is unjust or unreasonable, on a just and reasonable basis. In subsection (6)(b) the reference to any relevant carried-forward losses of the company “for” the straddling period is a reference to— any pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss which was made in a trade of the company in the straddling period, any pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit which the company had from its loan relationships for the straddling period, and any pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses which are referable to, or were made in, the straddling period (as the case may be). For provision about determining a company's start-up period, see section 269CG. In this Chapter the “start-up period”, in relation to a company (“company C”), means the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which company C first begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity (“the start-up day”). This is subject to the following provisions of this section. If on the start-up day— company C is a member of a group, there are one or more other members of the group that have carried on a relevant regulated activity while a member of the group, and none of those members first began to carry on such an activity more than 5 years before the start-up day, company C's start-up period is the period beginning with the start-up day and ending with the relevant group period. The “relevant group period”, in relation to a group, means the period of 5 years beginning with the earliest day on which any member of the group first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity. any of those members first began to carry on such an activity more than 5 years before the start-up day, company C does not have a start-up period. on a day falling within company C's start-up period (“the relevant day”), company C becomes a member of a group, one or more of the members of the group which on the relevant day carry on a relevant regulated activity first began to do so before the beginning of company C's start-up period, and the relevant regulated activities carried on by company C do not form a significant proportion of the relevant regulated activities carried on immediately after the relevant day by the members of the group as a whole. Where subsection (5) applies, company C's start-up period— in the case where any of the members of the group first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity more than 5 years before the relevant day, ends immediately before the relevant day; in any other case, ends with the relevant group period. on a day falling within company C's start-up period (“the relevant day”), another company that carries on a relevant regulated activity (“the new member”) becomes a member of a group of which company C is a member, the new member first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity before the beginning of company C's start-up period, and the relevant regulated activities carried on by the new member form a significant proportion of the relevant regulated activities carried on immediately after the relevant day by the members of the group as a whole. Where subsection (7) applies, company C's start-up period— in the case where the new member first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity more than 5 years before the relevant day, ends immediately before the relevant day; Any reference in this section to being, or becoming, a member of a group includes a reference to being, or becoming, a member of a partnership; and references to the “relevant group period” are to be read accordingly. This section applies to a banking company if— it is a building society, or an amount of carried-forward loss allowance is allocated to the company by a building society in accordance with section 269CI or 269CJ. If a banking company to which this section applies has an amount of carried-forward loss allowance (see subsection (5)), the company may designate as unrestricted losses any losses which, in relation to any accounting period, would (in the absence of this section) be relevant carried-forward losses. A loss designated under this section as an unrestricted loss is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as if it were not a relevant carried-forward loss. The amount of losses which a company may designate at any time must not exceed the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which the company has at that time. The amount of carried-forward loss allowance which a company has at any time is the difference between the company's maximum available carried-forward loss allowance and the total amount of losses designated by the company under this section before that time. The “maximum available carried-forward loss allowance” is— in the case of a building society which has not made an allocation under section 269CI, £25,000,000; in the case of a building society which has made an allocation under section 269CI, the amount given by— A is £25,000,000, B is the sum of— any amounts which it has allocated to another company under section 269CI, and any amounts allocated to another company under section 269CJ which immediately before the allocation were amounts of carried-forward loss allowance which the building society had, and C is the sum of any amounts allocated to the building society under section 269CJ; in the case of any other company, the total amount of carried-forward loss allowance allocated to the company under section 269CI or 269CJ. References in this Chapter to an amount of carried-forward loss allowance allocated to a company are references to an amount allocated to the company under section 269CI or 269CJ. For the meaning of “relevant carried-forward loss”, see section 269CN. For information about the procedure for making a designation under this section, see Schedule 18 to FA 1998, in particular Part 9E of that Schedule. This section applies where a building society— is a member of a group, and has an amount of carried-forward loss allowance (see section 269CH(5)). The building society may allocate some or all of that amount of carried-forward loss allowance to any other member of the group which is a banking company. Where a building society makes an allocation under subsection (2), it must give HMRC a statement (a “statement of allocation”) which specifies— the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which the building society had immediately before it made the allocation, the companies (“the relevant companies”) to which an amount of carried-forward loss allowance has been allocated, the amount of carried-forward loss allowance allocated to each of the relevant companies, and the total amount of carried-forward loss allowance allocated by the building society.

The statement of allocation must be given to HMRC on or before— the first day after the allocation on which the building society, or any of the relevant companies, delivers a company tax return which includes a designation made under section 269CH, or if earlier, the first day after the allocation on which a company tax return of the building society, or any of the relevant companies, is amended so as to include such a designation. This is subject to subsection (5). An officer of Revenue and Customs may provide that the statement of allocation may be given to HMRC on or before a later day specified by the officer. An allocation made under subsection (2) is not effective unless the requirements of this section have been complied with. A statement of allocation that has been given to HMRC under this section may not be amended or withdrawn. This is subject to section 269CJ. a building society is a member of a group, the building society has given HMRC a statement of allocation in accordance with section 269CI, the building society, or any other member of the group that is a banking company, (the “designating company”) would, if it had an amount (or an additional amount) of carried-forward loss allowance, be able to designate an amount of losses under section 269CH equal to that amount, and that amount is greater than the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which the building society could allocate under section 269CI. In this section the “available carried-forward loss allowance” means the total of any amounts of carried-forward loss allowance which any member of the group, other than the designating company, has (see section 269CH(5)). The building society may— allocate some or all of the available carried-forward loss allowance to the designating company, and provide that, to the extent that any of the amount allocated to the designating company under this subsection is an amount of carried-forward loss allowance which, immediately before the allocation, was an amount allocated to another company, that amount is no longer allocated to that other company. Where a building society makes an allocation under subsection (3), it must give HMRC a statement (a “revised statement of allocation”) which specifies— the amount of the available carried-forward loss allowance immediately before the allocation, the companies which had an amount of carried-forward loss allowance immediately before the allocation, and the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which each of those companies had at that time, and the companies which have an amount of carried-forward loss allowance immediately after the allocation (“the relevant companies”), and the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which each of those companies has. The revised statement of allocation must be given to HMRC on or before— the first day after the allocation on which any of the relevant companies delivers a company tax return which includes a designation made under section 269CH, or if earlier, the first day after the allocation on which a company tax return of any of the relevant companies is amended so as to include such a designation. This is subject to subsection (6). An officer of Revenue and Customs may provide that the revised statement of allocation may be given to HMRC on or before a later day specified by the officer. An allocation made under subsection (3) is not effective unless the requirements of this section have been complied with. Except as provided for by this section, a revised statement of allocation that has been given to HMRC under this section may not be amended or withdrawn. the amount given by step 1 in section 269CD(1) as the total profits of a banking company for an accounting period includes profits which arise to the banking company as a result of any arrangements (“the tax arrangements”), and in the absence of those profits (“the additional profits”) any deduction which the banking company would be entitled to make for the accounting period in respect of any relevant carried-forward losses would be reduced. Condition B is that the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the tax arrangements is to secure a relevant corporation tax advantage— for the banking company, or if there are any companies connected with that company, for the banking company and those connected companies (taken together). In this section “relevant corporation tax advantage” means a corporation tax advantage involving— the additional profits, and the deduction of any relevant carried-forward losses from those profits. Condition C is that, at the time when the tax arrangements were entered into, it would have been reasonable to assume that the tax value of the tax arrangements would be greater than the non-tax value of the tax arrangements. The “tax value” of the tax arrangements is the total value of— the relevant corporation tax advantage, and any other economic benefits derived by— the banking company, or if there are any companies connected with that company, the banking company and those connected companies (taken together), as a result of securing the relevant corporation tax advantage. The “non-tax value” of the tax arrangements is the total value of any economic benefits, other than those falling within subsection (6)(a) or (b), derived by— as a result of the tax arrangements. If this section applies, the additional profits are not to be taken into account in calculating the banking company's relevant profits for the accounting period (see section 269CD). “corporation tax advantage” means— a relief from corporation tax or increased relief from corporation tax, a repayment of corporation tax or increased repayment of corporation tax, the avoidance or reduction of a charge to corporation tax or an assessment to corporation tax, the avoidance of a possible assessment to corporation tax, or the deferral of a payment of corporation tax or advancement of a repayment of corporation tax. For the purposes of this Chapter, a company first begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity on a particular day if the company— begins to carry on a relevant regulated activity on that day, and has not carried on any relevant regulated activity before that day. This is subject to subsection (2). there is a transfer of a trade, and immediately before the transfer the predecessor carried on a relevant regulated activity, the successor is to be treated as having first begun to carry on a relevant regulated activity on the day on which the predecessor first began to carry on such an activity. Section 940B (meaning of “transfer of a trade” etc) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 1 of Part 22. Where a company (“the joint venturer”), together with one or more other persons, jointly controls another company that is a joint venture (“the joint venture company”), the joint venture company is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as a member of any group of which the joint venturer is a member. References in subsection (1) to a joint venture and to jointly controlling a company that is a joint venture are to be read in accordance with those provisions of international accounting standards which relate to joint ventures. “banking company” has the meaning given by section 269B; “building society” has the same meaning as in the Building Societies Act 1986; “company tax return” has the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to FA 1998; “group” has the meaning given by section 269BD; “HMRC” means Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs; “partnership” includes— and “member”, in relation to a partnership, is to be read accordingly; “pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses” has the meaning given by section 269CC(4); “pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit” has the meaning given by section 269CB(4); “pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss” has the meaning given by section 269CA(4); “relevant carried-forward loss” means— a pre-2015 carried-forward trading loss, a pre-2015 carried-forward non-trading deficit, or any pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses; “relevant non-trading profits”, in relation to a company, means the amount given by step 6 in section 269CD(1); “relevant profits”, in relation to a company, means the amount given by step 7 in section 269CD(1); “relevant regulated activity” has the meaning given by section 269BB; “relevant trading profits”, in relation to a company, means the amount given by step 5 in section 269CD(1); “start-up period”, in relation to a company, has the meaning given by section 269CG. In Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (company tax returns, assessments and related matters), after Part 9D insert— This Part of this Schedule applies to the designation of losses within sub-paragraph (2) as unrestricted losses by a banking company under section 269CH of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (losses covered by carried-forward loss allowance). The losses mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) are losses which, in relation to any accounting period, would (in the absence of that section) be relevant carried-forward losses. Expressions used in this Part of this Schedule and in Chapter 3 of Part 7A of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 have the same meaning in this Part of this Schedule as they have in that Chapter. A designation to which this Part of this Schedule applies must be made by being included in the company's tax return for the accounting period for which the company makes a deduction in respect of the losses. It may be included in the return originally made or by amendment. Where a company designates any relevant carried-forward loss in a company tax return, the return must specify— the amount of the loss, and whether the loss is— pre-2015 carried-forward management expenses. A designation to which this Part of this Schedule applies may be amended or withdrawn by the company only by amending its company tax return. In section 1223 of CTA 2009 (carrying forward expenses of management and other amounts), in subsection (1)— the words after “because” become paragraph (a), and after that paragraph insert in the case of amounts falling within subsection (2)(c), section 269CC of CTA 2010 (restriction on deductions for management expenses) has effect for the accounting period. In section 1 of CTA 2010 (overview of Act), in subsection (3)— for “Parts 8” substitute “ Parts 7A ”, and banking companies (see Part 7A), In Schedule 4 to CTA 2010 (index of defined expressions), at the appropriate place insert— The amendments made by paragraphs 1 to 5 of this Schedule have effect for the purposes of calculating the taxable total profits of companies for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2015. But section 269CK of CTA 2010 (inserted by this Schedule) does not have effect in relation to any arrangements made before 3 December 2014. Sub-paragraph (4) applies where a company has an accounting period beginning before 1 April 2015 and ending on or after that date (“the straddling period”). For the purposes of Chapter 3 of Part 7A of CTA 2010— so much of the straddling period as falls before 1 April 2015, and so much of that period as falls on or after that date, are treated as separate accounting periods, and the profits or losses of the company for the straddling period are apportioned to the two separate accounting periods— in accordance with section 1172 of CTA 2010 (time basis), or This sub-paragraph applies if— for the purposes of corporation tax a banking company has profits (“pre-commencement profits”) for an accounting period ending before 1 April 2015, in the absence of this paragraph the banking company would, for corporation tax purposes, be entitled to deduct from the pre-commencement profits for the accounting period an amount in respect of any relevant carried-forward losses, the pre-commencement profits arise as a result of any arrangements entered into on or after 3 December 2014, and the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to secure a corporation tax advantage as a result of the fact that Chapter 3 of Part 7A of CTA 2010 (inserted by this Schedule) is not to have effect for the accounting period for which the deduction would be made.

TCGA 1992 is amended in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 40. In section 1 (the charge to tax), in subsection (2A), for the words from “gains are” to the end substitute gains are— ATED-related gains in respect of which the companies are chargeable to capital gains tax under section 2B, or NRCGT gains in respect of which the companies are chargeable to capital gains tax under section 14D or 188D.

For section 4B (deduction of losses etc in most beneficial way) substitute— Where it is necessary to determine— from which chargeable gains an allowable loss accruing to a person is to be deducted, or which allowable losses are to be deducted from any chargeable gains accruing to a person, (including in a case falling within subsection (2)), the losses concerned may be used in whichever way is most beneficial to that person. Where the gains accruing to a person in a tax year are (apart from this section) chargeable to capital gains tax at different rates, the exempt amount under section 3 may be used in respect of those gains in whichever way is most beneficial to that person.

After section 14A insert— For the purposes of this Act a disposal made by a person is a “non-resident CGT disposal” if— it is a disposal of a UK residential property interest, and condition A or B is met. But see also subsection (5). Condition A is— in the case of an individual, that the individual is not resident in the United Kingdom for the tax year in question (see subsection (3)), in the case of personal representatives of a deceased person, that the single and continuing body mentioned in section 62(3) is not resident in the United Kingdom, in the case of the trustees of a settlement, that the single person mentioned in section 69(1) is not resident in the United Kingdom during any part of the tax year in question, and in any other case, that the person is not resident in the United Kingdom at the relevant time. “the tax year in question” means the tax year in which any gain on the disposal accrues (or would accrue were there to be such a gain); “the relevant time” means the time at which any gain on the disposal accrues (or would accrue were there to be such a gain). the person is an individual, and any gain accruing to the individual on the disposal would accrue in the overseas part of a tax year which is a split year as respects the individual. A disposal by a person of a UK residential property interest is not a non-resident CGT disposal so far as any chargeable gains accruing to the person on the disposal— would be gains in respect of which the person would be chargeable to capital gains tax— under section 10(1) (non-resident with UK branch or agency), or under section 2 as a result of subsection (1C) of that section (corresponding provision relating to the overseas part of a split year), or would be gains forming part of the person's chargeable profits for corporation tax purposes by virtue of section 10B (non-resident company with UK permanent establishment). Schedule B1 gives the meaning in this Act of “disposal of a UK residential property interest”. A person is chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of any chargeable NRCGT gain accruing to the person in the tax year on a non-resident CGT disposal. See also section 188D(1). Capital gains tax is charged on the total amount of chargeable NRCGT gains accruing to the person in the tax year, after deducting— any allowable losses accruing to the person in the tax year on disposals of UK residential property interests, and so far as they have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in any previous tax year, any allowable losses accruing to the person in any previous tax year (not earlier than the tax year 1965-66) on disposals of UK residential property interests. In subsection (2), the reference to chargeable NRCGT gains does not include any such gains which accrue to a member of an NRCGT group. The only deductions that can be made from chargeable NRCGT gains to which subsection (2) applies are those permitted by this section. This is subject to section 62(2AA) (carry-back of losses accruing in year of death). See section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB for how to determine— whether an NRCGT gain (or loss) accrues on a non-resident CGT disposal, and the amount of any NRCGT gain (or loss) so accruing. Subsections (2) to (4) apply in relation to an allowable NRCGT loss accruing to a person in a tax year on a non-resident CGT disposal. The loss is not allowable as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in any earlier tax year. This is subject to section 62(2) and (2AA) (carry-back of losses accruing in year of death). Relief is not to be given under this Act more than once in respect of the loss or any part of the loss. Relief is not to be given under this Act in respect of the loss if, and so far as, relief has been or may be given in respect of it under the Tax Acts. A person is not chargeable to capital gains tax under section 14D in respect of a chargeable NRCGT gain accruing to the person on a non-resident CGT disposal if the person— is an eligible person in relation to the disposal, and makes a claim under this section with respect to the disposal. A diversely-held company which makes a non-resident CGT disposal is an eligible person in relation to the disposal. A scheme (see subsection (7)) which makes a non-resident CGT disposal is an eligible person in relation to the disposal if condition A or B is met. Condition A is that the scheme is a widely-marketed scheme throughout the relevant ownership period. an investor in the scheme is an offshore fund, an open-ended investment company or an authorised unit trust (“the feeder fund”), the scheme is a widely-marketed scheme throughout the alternative period, after taking into account— the scheme documents relating to the feeder fund, and the intended investors in the feeder fund, and the scheme and the feeder fund have the same manager. A company carrying on life assurance business (as defined in section 56 of the Finance Act 2012) which makes a non-resident CGT disposal is an eligible person if immediately before the time of the disposal the interest in UK land which is the subject of that disposal is held for the purpose of providing benefits to policyholders in the course of that business. In this section “scheme” means any of the following— a unit trust scheme; a company which is an open-ended investment company incorporated by virtue of regulations under section 262 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000; a company incorporated under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom which is, under that law, the equivalent of an open-ended investment company. In this section “the relevant ownership period”, in relation to a scheme, means— the period beginning with the day on which the scheme acquired the interest in UK land which (or part of which) is the subject of the non-resident CGT disposal and ending with the day on which that disposal occurs, or if shorter, the period of 5 years ending with the day on which that disposal occurs. For the purposes of subsection (5), the “alternative period”, in relation to a scheme, is the shorter of— the relevant ownership period, and the period beginning when the feeder fund first became an investor in the scheme and ending with the date of the disposal. “diversely-held company” means a company which is not a closely-held company; “interest in UK land” has the same meaning as in Schedule B1; “open-ended investment company” has the same meaning as in Part 17 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (see section 236 of that Act). In Schedule C1— Part 1 sets out the rules for determining whether or not a company is a closely-held company; Part 2 sets out how to determine whether or not a scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time. This section applies where a company which makes a non-resident CGT disposal— is a divided company, and would, without this section, be an eligible person for the purposes of section 14F in relation to the disposal. In determining for the purposes of section 14F whether or not the company is an eligible company in relation to the disposal, the company is to be treated as if it were a closely-held company if the conditions in subsection (3) are met. the gain or loss accruing on the disposal is primarily or wholly attributable to a particular division of the company, and if that division were a separate company, that separate company would be a closely-held company. For the purposes of this section a company is a “divided company” if, under the law under which the company is formed, under the company's articles of association or other document regulating the company or under arrangements entered into by or in relation to the company— some or all of the assets of the company are available primarily, or only, to meet particular liabilities of the company, and some or all of the members of the company, and some or all of its creditors, have rights primarily, or only, in relation to particular assets of the company. References in this section to a “division” of a divided company are to an identifiable part of the company that carries on distinct business activities and to which particular assets and liabilities of the company are primarily or wholly attributable. Subsection (2) applies where— arrangements are entered into, and the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of any party entering into them (or any part of them) is to avoid capital gains tax being charged under section 14D as a result of a person not being an eligible person in relation to the disposal by virtue of subsection (2) (diversely-held companies) or, as the case may be, subsection (3) (widely-marketed schemes) of section 14F (persons not chargeable under section 14D if a claim is made). The arrangements (or that part of the arrangements) are to be disregarded in determining whether or not the company is an eligible person by virtue of that subsection. In this section “arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding, scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not legally enforceable). In section 16 (computation of losses), in subsection (3), for “or 10B,” substitute “ , 10B, 14D or 188D ”. After section 25 insert— This section applies if, ignoring subsections (3) and (4)— a gain or loss would accrue to a person on a disposal of a UK residential property interest deemed to have been made by virtue of section 25(3), and on the assumptions in subsection (2), that gain or loss would be an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB). The assumptions are— the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal, and if the person is a company, any claim which the company could make under section 14F is made. No gain or loss accrues to the person on that disposal. But, on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), the whole or a corresponding part of the gain or loss which would have accrued to the person were it not for subsection (3)— is deemed to accrue to the person (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that subsequent disposal), and (if that would not otherwise be the case) is to be treated as an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D accruing on a non-resident CGT disposal. A person may make an election for subsections (3) and (4) not to apply in relation to the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a). If the person is a company, such an election must be made within 2 years after the day on which the company ceases to carry on a trade in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency. In this section, “interest in UK land” has the meaning given by paragraph 2 of Schedule B1. After section 48 insert— a person (“P”) has made a non-resident CGT disposal in relation to which there accrued to P an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D or 188D (“the original disposal”), P acquired a right as the whole or part of the consideration for that disposal, on P's acquisition of the right, there was no corresponding disposal of it, and the right is a right to unascertainable consideration (see subsections (4) to (6)). If P subsequently receives consideration (“the ascertained consideration”) representing the whole or part of the consideration referred to in subsection (1)(d) and condition A in section 14B would have been met in relation to the original disposal had a gain on that disposal accrued at the time of the receipt of the ascertained consideration— the ascertained consideration is treated as not accruing on the disposal of the right, the costs of P's acquisition of the right (or, in the case of a part disposal of the right, those costs so far as referable to the part disposed of) are taken to be nil, and the following steps are taken. Step 1 Any amount by which the ascertained consideration exceeds the relevant original consideration is treated as consideration (or further consideration) accruing on the original disposal. If the relevant original consideration exceeds the ascertained consideration, the consideration accruing on the original disposal is treated as reduced by the amount of the excess. Step 2 Compute the difference that the adjustment under step 1 makes to what (if any) NRCGT gain or loss, ATED-related gain or loss or other gain or loss accrues on the original disposal (computing this separately for each type of gain or loss). The difference is “positive” if a loss is decreased (to nil or otherwise) or a gain created or increased. The difference is “negative” if a gain is reduced (to nil or otherwise) or a loss created or increased. Step 3 Any positive amount computed under step 2 is treated for the purposes of this Act and the Management Act as a gain (of the type appropriate to the computation) accruing to P at the time of the receipt of the ascertained consideration. Any negative amount computed under step 2 is treated for the purposes of this Act and the Management Act as a loss (of the type appropriate to the computation) accruing to P at the time of the receipt of the ascertained consideration. In step 1 in subsection (2), “the relevant original consideration” means the consideration accruing on the original disposal, so far as referable to the right mentioned in subsection (1)(b) (or, in the case of a part disposal of the right, referable to the part disposed of). A right is a right to unascertainable consideration if, and only if— it is a right to consideration the amount or value of which is unascertainable at the time when the right is conferred, and that amount or value is unascertainable at that time on account of its being referable, in whole or in part, to matters which are uncertain at that time because they have not yet occurred. This subsection is subject to subsections (5) and (6). The amount or value of any consideration is not to be regarded as being unascertainable by reason only— that the right to receive the whole or any part of the consideration is postponed or contingent, if the consideration or, as the case may be, that part of it is, in accordance with section 48, brought into account in the computation of the gain accruing to a person on the disposal of an asset, or in a case where the right to receive the whole or any part of the consideration is postponed and is to be, or may be, to any extent satisfied by the receipt of property of one description or property of some other description, that some person has a right to select the property, or the description of property, that is to be received. A right is not to be taken to be a right to unascertainable consideration by reason only that either the amount or the value of the consideration has not been fixed, if— the amount will be fixed by reference to the value, and the value is ascertainable, or the value will be fixed by reference to the amount, and the amount is ascertainable. In section 57A (gains and losses on relevant high value disposals), after subsection (2) insert— Subsection (2) does not apply where Part 4 of Schedule 4ZZB applies (non-resident CGT disposals which are or involve relevant high value disposals). In Part 2, after Chapter 5 insert— Schedule 4ZZB makes provision about the computation of— NRCGT gains or losses, and other gains or losses, on non-resident CGT disposals. For further provision about non-resident CGT disposals and NRCGT gains and losses see sections 14B to 14H and 188D and 188E. Section 62 (death: general provisions) is amended as follows. In subsection (2A), for the words from “are gains” to the end substitute are— gains that are treated as accruing by virtue of section 87 or 89(2) (read, where appropriate, with section 10A), or NRCGT gains (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB). After subsection (2A) insert— Where allowable NRCGT losses (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) are sustained by an individual in the year of assessment in which the individual dies, the losses may, so far as they cannot be deducted from chargeable gains accruing to the individual in that year, be deducted from any gains such as are mentioned in subsection (2A)(b) that accrued to the deceased in the 3 years of assessment preceding the year of assessment in which the death occurs, taking chargeable gains accruing in a later year before those accruing in an earlier year. After section 80 insert— Subsection (2) applies if, ignoring subsections (2) to (4)— a gain or loss would accrue to the trustees of a settlement on a disposal of a UK residential property interest deemed to have been made by virtue of section 80(2), and on the assumption that the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal, that gain or loss would be a chargeable NRCGT gain or an allowable NRCGT loss (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB). The trustees may elect for subsections (3) and (4) to have effect. No gain or loss accrues to the trustees on that disposal. But, on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), the whole or a corresponding part of the gain or loss which would have accrued to the trustees were it not for subsection (3)— is deemed to accrue to the trustees (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that subsequent disposal), and (if that would not otherwise be the case) is to be treated as a chargeable NRCGT gain or an allowable NRCGT loss accruing on a non-resident CGT disposal. In section 86 (attribution of gains to settlors with interest in non-resident or dual-resident settlements), after subsection (4) insert— Where a disposal of any settled property (which would apart from this subsection meet the condition in subsection (1)(e) with respect to the tax year) is a non-resident CGT disposal— any chargeable gain or allowable loss accruing on the disposal, other than an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D, is to be treated as if it were a chargeable gain or (as the case requires) allowable loss falling to be taken into account in calculating the amount mentioned in subsection (1)(e) for the tax year, and the disposal is otherwise to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (1)(e). In section 87 (non-UK resident settlements: attribution of gains to beneficiaries), after subsection (5) insert— For the purpose of determining the section 2(2) amount for a settlement for a tax year— any chargeable gain or allowable loss accruing in that tax year on a non-resident CGT disposal made (or treated as made) by the trustees, other than an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D, is to be treated as if it were a chargeable gain or (as the case requires) allowable loss falling to be taken into account in calculating the amount mentioned in subsection (4)(a), and such a disposal is otherwise to be disregarded. Section 139 (reconstruction involving transfer of business) is amended as follows. In subsection (1A)— in paragraph (a), after “chargeable assets” insert “ or NRCGT assets ”; in paragraph (b), after “chargeable assets” insert “ or NRCGT assets ”. After subsection (1A) insert— For the purposes of subsection (1A), an asset is an “NRCGT asset” in relation to a company at any time if— the disposal of the asset by the company at that time would be a non-resident CGT disposal, and the company would not be, in relation to that disposal, an eligible person (as defined in section 14F). Section 152 does not apply in relation to a person who would (apart from that section) be chargeable to capital gains tax under section 14D or 188D in respect of NRCGT gains accruing on the disposal of the old assets, unless the new assets are qualifying residential property interests immediately after the time they are acquired. For the purposes of this section an asset is a “qualifying residential property interest” at any time if it— is an interest in UK land, and consists of or includes a dwelling. “dwelling” has the meaning given by paragraph 4 of Schedule B1; “interest in UK land” has the meaning given by paragraph 2 of Schedule B1; “the old assets” and “the new assets” have the same meaning as in section 152; the reference to disposal of the old assets includes a reference to disposal of an interest in them; the reference to acquisition of the new assets includes a reference to acquisition of an interest in them or entering into an unconditional contract for the acquisition of them. Section 165 (relief for gifts of business assets) is amended as follows. In subsection (1), after “167,” insert “ 167A, ”. After subsection (7) insert— Subsections (7B) and (7C) apply in any case where— the transferee is resident in the United Kingdom. Subsections (4) and (6) have effect in relation to the disposal as if the references to “chargeable gain” were references to “chargeable NRCGT gain”. Subsection (7) has effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “the excess referred to in paragraph (b) above” were a reference to “the chargeable NRCGT gain which, ignoring this section and section 17(1), would accrue to the transferor on the disposal”. In section 166 (gifts to non-residents), in subsection (1), for “Section 165(4)” substitute “ Subject to section 167A, section 165(4) ”. In section 167 (gifts to foreign-controlled companies), in subsection (1), for “Section 165(4)” substitute “ Subject to section 167A, section 165(4) ”. After section 167 insert— This section applies where the disposal in relation to which a claim could be made under section 165 is a disposal of a UK residential property interest to a transferee who is not resident in the United Kingdom and, ignoring section 165— a gain would accrue to the transferor on the disposal, and on the assumption that the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal (whether or not that is the case), that gain would be a chargeable NRCGT gain (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB).

Section 165(4) has effect in relation to the disposal as if it read— Where a claim for relief is made under this section in respect of the disposal, the amount of any chargeable gain which, apart from this section, would accrue to the transferor on the disposal, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the held-over gain on the disposal. Where the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal— section 165(4), as modified by subsection (2) of this section, has effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “chargeable gain” were a reference to “chargeable NRCGT gain”, section 165(6) has effect in relation to the disposal as if the references to “chargeable gain” were references to “chargeable NRCGT gain”, and section 165(7) has effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “the excess referred to in paragraph (b) above” were a reference to “the chargeable NRCGT gain which, ignoring this section and section 17(1), would accrue to the transferor on the disposal”. Where a claim for relief is made under section 165 in relation to the disposal mentioned in subsection (1), on a subsequent disposal by the transferee of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1), the whole or a corresponding part of the held-over gain (see section 165(6))— is deemed to accrue to the transferee (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that subsequent disposal), and (if that would not otherwise be the case) is to be treated as an NRCGT gain chargeable to capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D accruing on a non-resident CGT disposal. Where the subsequent disposal mentioned in subsection (4) is (or proves to be) a chargeable transfer for inheritance tax purposes, section 165(10) has effect in relation to the disposal as if— the reference to “the chargeable gain accruing to the transferee on the disposal of the asset” were a reference to the chargeable gain accruing on the disposal as computed apart from subsection (4), and the reference in section 165(10)(b) to “the chargeable gain” were a reference to— the chargeable gain chargeable to capital gains tax by virtue of any provision of this Act accruing on the disposal, and the held-over gain deemed to accrue under subsection (4). In section 168 (emigration of donee), in subsection (1), after paragraph (a) insert— the transferee is resident in the United Kingdom at the time of that disposal; and After section 168 insert— a gain would accrue to a transferee on a disposal of a UK residential property interest deemed to have been made by virtue of section 168(1), and on the assumption that the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal, that gain would be an NRCGT gain chargeable to capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB). The transferee may elect for subsections (3) and (4) to have effect. The held-over gain (within the meaning of section 165 or 260) does not accrue to the transferee on that disposal. But, on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), the whole or a corresponding part of the held-over gain which would have accrued to the transferee were it not for subsection (3)— After section 187A insert— a gain or loss would accrue to a company on a disposal of a UK residential property interest deemed to have been made by virtue of section 185(2), and on the assumptions in subsection (2), that gain or loss would be an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D or 188D (see section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB). The assumptions are that— any claim which the company could make under section 14F is made. No gain or loss accrues to the company on that disposal. But, on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), the whole or a corresponding part of the gain or loss which would have accrued to the company were it not for subsection (3)— is deemed to accrue to the company (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that subsequent disposal), and A company may make an election for subsections (3) and (4) not to apply in relation to the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a). Such an election must be made within 2 years after the day on which the company ceases to be resident in the United Kingdom. Before section 189 (and the italic heading before it), insert— A “pooling election” is an election which— specifies the date from which the election is to have effect (the “effective date” of the election), and is made by all those members of a group (the “potential pooling group”) which are qualifying members. For this purpose the “qualifying members” of a group are all the companies which are members of that group and meet the qualifying conditions on the effective date of the election. The “qualifying conditions” are met by a company at any time when it— is not resident in the United Kingdom, is a closely-held company, is not a company carrying on life assurance business (as defined in section 56 of the Finance Act 2012), does not hold any chargeable residential assets, and holds an asset the disposal of which would be a disposal of a UK residential property interest. For the purposes of subsection (3), an asset is a “chargeable residential asset” at any time if a disposal of the asset at that time would be a non-resident CGT disposal but for section 14B(5) (gains forming part of chargeable profits for corporation tax purposes by virtue of section 10B etc). The day on which a pooling election is made must not be later than the 30th day after the day specified as its effective date. A pooling election is irrevocable. “closely-held company” is to be interpreted in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule C1; “group” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 170. The companies which make a pooling election form an NRCGT group. An NRCGT group continues to exist as long as at least one member of the NRCGT group continues to be a member of the potential pooling group and to meet the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 188A(3). See also section 188F (companies becoming eligible to join NRCGT group) and section 188G (company ceasing to be a member of an NRCGT group). This section applies where a company (“company A”) makes a non-resident CGT disposal to another company (“company B”) at a time when both companies are members of the same NRCGT group. In subsections (3) to (5) “the asset” means the asset which is the subject of that disposal. For the relevant purposes (see subsection (4))— company A's acquisition of the asset is treated as company B's acquisition of the asset, everything done by company A in relation to the asset in the period of company A's ownership of the asset is accordingly treated as done by company B, and the disposal mentioned in subsection (1) is accordingly disregarded. The “relevant purposes” means the purposes of— the determination of whether or not an NRCGT gain or loss accrues on the disposal mentioned in subsection (1) or any subsequent disposal of the asset; the determination of the amount of any such gain or loss; the treatment for capital gains tax purposes of any such gain or loss. Accordingly, references in subsection (3) to an acquisition made by, or anything else done by, company A include anything that company A is treated as having done as a result of the application of this section in relation to an earlier disposal of the asset. Nothing in this section affects the treatment of the disposal in question for any other purposes (including the computation of any gains or losses, other than NRCGT gains or losses, that may accrue on the disposal). The relevant body for a tax year (“year Y”) of an NRCGT group (see subsection (4)) is chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of chargeable NRCGT gains accruing to members of the group in the tax year on non-resident CGT disposals (and section 14D(1) does not apply to such gains). Capital gains tax is charged on the total amount of chargeable NRCGT gains accruing in year Y to members of the NRCGT group, after deducting— any allowable NRCGT losses accruing in year Y to any member of the NRCGT group, so far as they have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in any previous tax year, any allowable NRCGT losses which in any previous tax year (not earlier than the tax year 2015-16) accrued to any member of the NRCGT group, and so far as they have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains accruing in any previous tax year, any allowable losses (not falling within paragraph (b)) on disposals of UK residential property interests which in any previous tax year (not earlier than the tax year 1965-66) accrued to any company which is, at any time in year Y, a member of the NRCGT group. The only deductions that can be made in calculating the total amount of chargeable NRCGT gains accruing as mentioned in subsection (2) are those permitted by this section. The “relevant body” of an NRCGT group for a tax year is the body constituted by all the companies which are members of that NRCGT group at any time in that tax year. This Act and the Management Act have effect with any modifications that may be necessary in relation to cases where the relevant body of an NRCGT group is chargeable to capital gains tax in accordance with this section. Relief is not to be given under this Act more than once in respect of a group loss or any part of a group loss. Relief is not to be given under this Act in respect of a group loss if, and so far as, relief has been or may be given in respect of it under the Tax Acts. No relief is to be given otherwise than in accordance with this section for group losses. In this section “group loss” means an NRCGT loss accruing to a member of an NRCGT group. A company which is not a member of an NRCGT group and is eligible to become a member of that group may elect to do so. A company is eligible to become a member of an NRCGT group at any time when it— is a member of the potential pooling group, and meets the qualifying conditions. But see subsections (3) and (4). Subsection (4) applies if, throughout a period of 12 months, a company— holds a UK residential asset, and is eligible to become a member of an NRCGT group. If the company has not elected to become a member of the NRCGT group by the end of that period of 12 months, the company is not eligible to become a member of the NRCGT group at any time after the end of that period of 12 months. The effect of subsection (4) in relation to a company expires if at any time the company— no longer holds the whole or part of any UK residential asset that was held by the company at any time in the 12 month period referred to in subsection (3), but holds another UK residential asset. For the purposes of this section a person holds a “UK residential asset” at any time when the person holds an interest in UK land the disposal of which would be a disposal of a UK residential property interest. A company ceases to be a member of an NRCGT group if it ceases— to be a member of the potential pooling group, or to meet the any of the conditions in paragraphs (a) to (d) of section 188A(3). Where a company ceases to be a member of an NRCGT group, the company is treated for the purposes of this Act and the Management Act as having— disposed of the relevant assets immediately before the company ceased to be a member of the NRCGT group, and immediately re-acquired them, at their market value at that time. References in subsection (2) to a company ceasing to be a member of an NRCGT group do not apply to cases where a company ceases to be a member of the potential pooling group in consequence of another member of that group ceasing to exist. Subsection (2) does not apply in a case where all the companies which are members of an NRCGT group cease to be members of that NRCGT group by reason only of an event which causes— the principal company of the potential pooling group to cease to be a closely-held company, or the head of a sub-group of which they are members, to cease to be a closely-held company or to become a member of another group (as defined in section 170). Subsection (2) does not apply where a company which is a member of an NRCGT group ceases to be a member of the potential pooling group by reason only of the fact that the principal company of the potential pooling group becomes a member of another group (as defined in section 170). In subsection (2) “the relevant assets” means any assets the company holds immediately before it ceases to be a member of the NRCGT group the disposal of which would be a disposal of a UK residential property interest (see Schedule B1). “sub-group” means anything that would be a group (as defined in section 170) in the absence of subsections (4) and (6) of section 170; the “head” of a sub-group is the company which is not a 75% subsidiary of any other member of the sub-group; references to the “principal company” of the potential pooling group are to be interpreted in accordance with section 170. Anything required or authorised to be done under this Act or the Management Act by or in relation to the relevant body of an NRCGT group is required or authorised to be done by or in relation to all the responsible members of that NRCGT group for that tax year. The “responsible members” of an NRCGT group for a tax year are— all the companies which are members of the NRCGT group at any time in that tax year, and any companies which have subsequently become members of the NRCGT group. This section is subject to section 188J (representative company). Where the responsible members of an NRCGT group are liable, in connection with their responsibility under section 188H to make a payment of tax or interest on unpaid tax, or pay any other amount, that liability is a joint and several liability of those responsible members. Anything required or authorised to be done under this Act or the Management Act by or in relation to the relevant body of an NRCGT group may instead be done by or in relation to the company which is for the time being the representative company of the group. This includes the making of the declaration required by section 9(2) or 12ZB(4)(b) of the Management Act (declaration that return is correct and complete). The “representative company” means a member of the NRCGT group nominated by all the members of that group for the purposes of this section. A nomination under subsection (3), or the revocation of such a nomination, has effect only after written notice of the nomination or revocation has been given to an officer of Revenue and Customs. In sections 188A to 188J— references to the “relevant body” of an NRCGT group are to be interpreted in accordance with section 188D(4); references to an NRCGT gain or loss accruing to a member of an NRCGT group are to such a gain or loss accruing to a company at a time when the company is a member of the NRCGT group. In sections 188A to 188J and this section— “company” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 170(9); “pooling election” has the meaning given by section 188A(1); “potential pooling group”, in relation to an NRCGT group, is to be interpreted in accordance with section 188A(1)(b); “qualifying conditions” has the meaning given by section 188A(3). Section 260 (gifts on which inheritance tax is chargeable etc) is amended as follows. In subsection (1), for “and 261” substitute “ , 261 and 261ZA ”. After subsection (6) insert— Subsections (6ZB) and (6ZC) apply in any case where— Subsections (3) and (4) have effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “chargeable gain” were a reference to “chargeable NRCGT gain”. Subsection (5) has effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “the excess referred to in paragraph (b) above” were a reference to “the chargeable NRCGT gain which, ignoring this section and section 17(1), would accrue to the transferor on the disposal”. In section 261 (section 260 relief: gifts to non-residents), in subsection (1), for “Section 260(3)” substitute “ Subject to section 261ZA, section 260(3) ”. After section 261 insert— This section applies where the disposal in relation to which a claim could be made under section 260 is a disposal of a UK residential property interest to a transferee who is not resident in the United Kingdom and, ignoring section 260— Section 260(3) has effect in relation to the disposal as if it read— Where this subsection applies in relation to a disposal, the amount of any chargeable gain which, apart from this section, would accrue to the transferor on the disposal, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the held-over gain on the disposal. section 260(3), as modified by subsection (2) of this section, and section 260(4) have effect in relation to the disposal as if the references to “chargeable gain” were references to “chargeable NRCGT gain”, and section 260(5) has effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “the excess referred to in paragraph (b) above” were a reference to “the chargeable NRCGT gain which, ignoring this section and section 17(1), would accrue to the transferor on the disposal”. Where a claim for relief is made under section 260 in relation to the disposal mentioned in subsection (1), on a subsequent disposal by the transferee of the whole or part of the interest in UK land which is the subject of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1), the whole or a corresponding part of the held-over gain (see section 260(4))— (if that would not otherwise be the case) is to be treated as a chargeable NRCGT gain accruing on a non-resident CGT disposal. Where the subsequent disposal mentioned in subsection (4) is a disposal within section 260(2)(a), subsection (7) of that section has effect in relation to the disposal as if— the reference in section 260(7)(b) to “the chargeable gain” were a reference to— the chargeable gain (or, where the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal, the chargeable NRCGT gain) accruing on the disposal, and In section 288 (interpretation), in subsection (1), at the appropriate places insert— “disposal of a UK residential property interest” has the meaning given by Schedule B1;” “non-resident CGT disposal” has the meaning given by section 14B; “NRCGT gain” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB; “NRCGT group” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 188B (read with sections 188F and 188G); “NRCGT loss” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB; “NRCGT return” has the meaning given by section 12ZB(2) of the Management Act; Schedule 1 (application of exempt amount etc in cases involving settled property) is amended as follows. In paragraph 1(1), for “(5C)” substitute “ (5D) ”. In paragraph 2(1), for “(5C)” substitute “ (5D) ”. After Schedule A1, insert— For the purposes of this Act, the disposal by a person (“P”) of an interest in UK land (whether made before or after this Schedule comes into force) is a “disposal of a UK residential property interest” if the first or second condition is met. The first condition is that— the land has at any time in the relevant ownership period consisted of or included a dwelling, or the interest in UK land subsists for the benefit of land that has at any time in the relevant ownership period consisted of or included a dwelling. The second condition is that the interest in UK land subsists under a contract for an off-plan purchase. In sub-paragraph (2) “relevant ownership period” means the period— beginning with the day on which P acquired the interest in UK land or 6 April 2015 (whichever is later), and ending with the day before the day on which the disposal occurs. If the interest in UK land disposed of by P as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) results from interests in UK land which P has acquired at different times (“the acquired interests”), P is regarded for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(a) as having acquired the interest when P first acquired any of the acquired interests. “contract for an off-plan purchase” means a contract for the acquisition of land consisting of, or including, a building or part of a building that is to be constructed or adapted for use as a dwelling; “dwelling” has the meaning given by paragraph 4. Paragraphs 10 and 21 of Schedule 4ZZB contain further provision about interests under contracts for off-plan purchases. In this Schedule, “interest in UK land” means— an estate, interest, right or power in or over land in the United Kingdom, or the benefit of an obligation, restriction or condition affecting the value of any such estate, interest, right or power, other than an excluded interest. The following are excluded interests— any security interest; a licence to use or occupy land; in England and Wales or Northern Ireland— a tenancy at will; a manor. In sub-paragraph (2) “security interest” means an interest or right (other than a rentcharge) held for the purpose of securing the payment of money or the performance of any other obligation. In relation to land in Scotland the reference in sub-paragraph (3) to a rentcharge is to be read as a reference to a feu duty or a payment mentioned in section 56(1) of the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc (Scotland) Act 2000 (asp 5). The Treasury may by regulations provide that any other description of interest or right in relation to land in the United Kingdom is an excluded interest. Regulations under sub-paragraph (5) may make incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision or savings. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where— a person (“P”) grants at any time an option binding P to sell an interest in UK land, and a disposal by P of that interest in UK land at that time would be a disposal of a UK residential property interest by virtue of paragraph 1. The grant of the option is regarded for the purposes of this Schedule as the disposal of an interest in the land in question (if it would not be so regarded apart from this paragraph). Nothing in this paragraph affects the operation of section 144 in relation to the grant of the option (or otherwise). Subsection (6) of section 144 (interpretation of references to “sale” etc) applies for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of that section. For the purposes of this Schedule, a building counts as a dwelling at any time when— it is used or suitable for use as a dwelling, or it is in the process of being constructed or adapted for such use. Land that at any time is, or is intended to be, occupied or enjoyed with a dwelling as a garden or grounds (including any building or structure on such land) is taken to be part of that dwelling at that time. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a building is not used (or suitable for use) as a dwelling if it is used as— residential accommodation for school pupils; residential accommodation for members of the armed forces; a home or other institution providing residential accommodation for children; a home or other institution providing residential accommodation with personal care for persons in need of personal care by reason of old age, disability, past or present dependence on alcohol or drugs or past or present mental disorder; a hospital or hospice; a prison or similar establishment; a hotel or inn or similar establishment. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a building is not used (or suitable for use) as a dwelling if it is used, or suitable for use, as an institution (not falling within any of paragraphs (c) to (f) of sub-paragraph (3)) that is the sole or main residence of its residents. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) a building is not used (or suitable for use) as a dwelling if it falls within— paragraph 4 of Schedule 14 to the Housing Act 2004 (certain buildings occupied by students and managed or controlled by their educational establishment etc), any corresponding provision having effect in Scotland, or any corresponding provision having effect in Northern Ireland. In sub-paragraph (5) “corresponding provision” means provision designated by regulations made by the Treasury as corresponding to the provision mentioned in sub-paragraph (5)(a). If the accommodation provided by a building meets the conditions in sub-paragraph (8) in a tax year, the building is not to be regarded for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) as used or suitable for use as a dwelling at any time in that tax year. The conditions are that the accommodation— includes at least 15 bedrooms, is purpose-built for occupation by students, and is occupied by students on at least 165 days in the tax year. In the expression “purpose-built” the reference to building includes conversion. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (8), accommodation is occupied by students if it is occupied exclusively or mainly by persons who occupy it for the purpose of undertaking a course of education (otherwise than as school pupils). A building which (for any reason) becomes temporarily unsuitable for use as a dwelling is treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) as continuing to be suitable for use as a dwelling; but see also the special rules in— paragraph 6 (damage to a dwelling), and paragraph 8(7) (periods before or during certain works). In this paragraph “building” includes a part of a building. The Treasury may by regulations amend paragraph 4 for the purpose of clarifying or changing the cases where a building is or is not to be regarded as being used as a dwelling (or suitable for use as a dwelling). The provision that may be made under sub-paragraph (1) includes, in particular, provision omitting or adding cases where a building is or is not to be regarded as being used (or as suitable for use) as a dwelling. Regulations under this paragraph may make incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision or savings. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where a person disposes of an interest in UK land and a building that forms, or has formed, part of the land has at any time in the relevant ownership period been temporarily unsuitable for use as a dwelling. Paragraph 4(10) (disregard of temporary unsuitability) does not apply in relation to the building's temporary unsuitability for use as a dwelling if— the temporary unsuitability resulted from damage to the building, and the first and second conditions are met. The first condition is that the damage was— accidental, or otherwise caused by events beyond the control of the person disposing of the interest in UK land. The second condition is that, as a result of the damage, the building was unsuitable for use as a dwelling for a period of at least 90 consecutive days. Where the first and second conditions are met, work done in the 90-day period to restore the building to suitability for use as a dwelling does not count, for the purposes of paragraph 4(1), as construction or adaptation of the building for use as a dwelling. The first condition is regarded as not being met if the damage occurred in the course of work that— was being done for the purpose of altering the building, and itself involved, or could be expected to involve, making the building unsuitable for use as a dwelling for 30 days or more. The 90-day period mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) must end at or before the end of the relevant ownership period but may begin at any time (whether or not within the ownership period). references to alteration include partial demolition; “building” includes a part of a building; “relevant ownership period” has the meaning given by paragraph 1(4). A building is regarded as ceasing to exist from the time when it has either— been demolished completely to ground level, or been demolished to ground level except for a single facade (or, in the case of a building on a corner site, a double facade) the retention of which is a condition or requirement of planning permission or development consent. This paragraph applies where a person disposes of an interest in UK land, and a building which is (or was formerly) on the land and has at any time in the relevant ownership period been suitable for use as a dwelling— has undergone complete or partial demolition or any other works during the relevant ownership period, and as a result of the works, has, at or at any time before the completion of the disposal, either ceased to exist or become unsuitable for use as a dwelling. If the conditions in sub-paragraph (4) are met at, or at any time before, the completion of the disposal, the building is taken to have been unsuitable for use as a dwelling throughout the part of the relevant ownership period when the works were in progress. If the conditions in sub-paragraph (4) are met at, or at any time before, the completion of the disposal, the building is also taken to have been unsuitable for use as a dwelling throughout any period which— ends immediately before the commencement of the works, and is a period throughout which the building was, for reasons connected with the works, not used as a dwelling. as a result of the works the building has (at any time before the completion of the disposal) either ceased to exist or become suitable for use otherwise than as a dwelling, any planning permission or development consent required for the works, or for any change of use with which they are associated, has been granted, and the works have been carried out in accordance with any such permission or consent. If at the completion of the disposal the conditions in sub-paragraph (4) have not been met, the works are taken not to have affected the building's suitability for use as a dwelling (at any time before the disposal). Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply in relation to any time when— the building was undergoing any work, or put to a use, in relation to which planning permission or development consent was required but had not been granted, or anything was being done in contravention of a condition or requirement attached to a planning permission or development consent relating to the building. Where a building is treated under sub-paragraph (2) or (3) as unsuitable for use as a dwelling, the unsuitability is not regarded as temporary for the purposes of paragraph 4(10). The condition in paragraph 8(4)(b) is taken to have been met at the time of the completion of the disposal if the required planning permission or development consent is given subsequently. For the purposes of paragraph 8(6)(a), the fact that planning permission or development consent had not been given at any time in relation to any work or use of a building is ignored if the required planning permission or development consent is given subsequently. For the purposes of this Schedule, the “completion” of the disposal of an interest in UK land is taken to occur— at the time of the disposal, or if the disposal is under a contract which is completed by a conveyance, at the time when the interest is conveyed. In this Schedule— “conveyance” includes any instrument (and “conveyed” is to be construed accordingly); “development consent” means development consent under the Planning Act 2008; “interest in UK land” has the meaning given by paragraph 2; “land” includes a building; “planning permission” has the meaning given by the relevant planning enactment. In sub-paragraph (2) “the relevant planning enactment” means— in relation to land in England and Wales, section 336(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; in relation to land in Scotland, section 227(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997; in relation to land in Northern Ireland, Article 2(2) of the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1220 (N.I. 11)). After Schedule B1 (as inserted by paragraph 36), insert— This Part of this Schedule sets out the rules for determining, for the purposes of sections 14F and 14G, whether or not a company is a closely-held company. “Closely-held company” means a company in relation to which condition A or B is met. Condition A is that the company is under the control of 5 or fewer participators. Condition B is that 5 or fewer participators together possess or are entitled to acquire— such rights as would, in the event of the winding up of the company (“the relevant company”) on the basis set out in paragraph 3, entitle them to receive the greater part of the assets of the relevant company which would then be available for distribution among the participators, or such rights as would, in that event, so entitle them if there were disregarded any rights which any of them or any other person has as a loan creditor (in relation to the relevant company or any other company). This paragraph applies for the purposes of paragraph 2(3). In the notional winding up of the relevant company, the part of the assets available for distribution among the participators which any person is entitled to receive is the aggregate of— any part of those assets which the person would be entitled to receive in the event of the winding up of the relevant company, and any part of those assets which the person would be entitled to receive if— any other company which is a participator in the relevant company and is entitled to receive any assets in the notional winding up were also wound up on the basis set out in this paragraph, and the part of the assets of the relevant company to which the other company is entitled were distributed among the participators in the other company in proportion to their respective entitlement to the assets of the other company available for distribution among the participators. In the application of sub-paragraph (2)— to the notional winding up of the other company mentioned in paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph, and to any further notional winding up required by that paragraph (or by any further application of that paragraph), references to “the relevant company” are to be read as references to the company concerned. This paragraph applies for the purpose of determining whether, under sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 2, 5 or fewer participators together possess or are entitled to acquire rights such as are mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of that sub-paragraph. A person is to be treated as a participator in the relevant company if the person is a participator in any other company which would be entitled to receive assets in the notional winding up of the relevant company on the basis set out in paragraph 3. No account is to be taken of a participator which is a company unless the company possesses or is entitled to acquire the rights in a fiduciary or representative capacity. But sub-paragraph (3) does not apply for the purposes of paragraph 3. A company is not to be treated as a closely-held company if condition A or B is met. Condition A is that the company cannot be treated as a closely-held company except by taking, as one of the 5 or fewer participators requisite for its being so treated, a person which is a diversely-held company. Condition B is that the company— would not be a closely-held company were it not for paragraph (a) of paragraph 2(3) or paragraph (d) of paragraph 7(2), and would not be a closely-held company if the references in paragraphs 2(3)(a) and 7(2)(d) to participators did not include loan creditors which are diversely-held companies or qualifying institutional investors. In this paragraph “qualifying institutional investor” means any of the following persons— a scheme (as defined in section 14F(7)) which is a widely-marketed scheme; the trustee or manager of a qualifying pension scheme; a company carrying on life assurance business (as defined in section 56 of the Finance Act 2012); a person who cannot be liable for corporation tax or income tax (as relevant) on the ground of sovereign immunity. In sub-paragraph (4)(b) “qualifying pension scheme” means a pension scheme (as defined in section 150(1) of the Finance Act 2004) other than— an investment-regulated pension scheme within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 29A to that Act, or a pension scheme that would be an investment-regulated pension scheme if it were a registered pension scheme. The Treasury may by regulations amend sub-paragraphs (4) and (5). Regulations under sub-paragraph (6) may make incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision or savings. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where a participator in a company is a qualifying institutional investor. For the purpose of determining whether or not the company is a closely-held company, any share or interest which the qualifying institutional investor has as a participator in the company (in any of the ways set out in section 454(2) of CTA 2010 or otherwise) is treated as a share or interest held by more than 5 participators. Sub-paragraph (4) applies where a participator in a company is a general partner of a limited partnership which is a collective investment scheme (as defined in section 235 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000). For the purpose of determining whether or not the company is a closely-held company, any share or interest which the general partner has as a participator in the company (in any of the ways set out in section 454(2) of CTA 2010 or otherwise) is treated as a share or interest held by more than 5 participators. Sub-paragraph (4) does not apply to— any rights which would, in the event of the winding up of the company (“the relevant company”) on the basis set out in paragraph 3, or in any other circumstances, entitle the general partner (or a participator in the general partner) to receive assets of the company which would then be available for distribution among the participators, or any rights which would, in that event, so entitle the general partner (or a participator in the general partner) if there were disregarded any rights which a person has as a loan creditor (in relation to the relevant company or another company). In this paragraph “limited partnership” means— a limited partnership registered under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907, or a firm or entity of a similar character formed under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom. In this paragraph, “general partner”, in relation to a limited partnership, means a partner other than a limited partner. In this paragraph, “limited partner” means a person carrying on business as a partner in a limited partnership who— is not entitled to take part in the management of that business, and is entitled to have any liabilities of that business (or those beyond a certain limit) for debts or obligations incurred for the purposes of that business met or reimbursed by some other person. In this paragraph “qualifying institutional investor” has the same meaning as in paragraph 5. For the purposes of this Schedule, a person (“P”) is treated as having control of a company (“C”) if P— exercises, is able to exercise, or is entitled to acquire, direct or indirect control over C's affairs. In particular, P is treated as having control of C if P possesses or is entitled to acquire— the greater part of the share capital or issued share capital of C, the greater part of the voting power in C, so much of the issued share capital of C as would, on the assumption that the whole of the income of C were distributed among the participators, entitle P to receive the greater part of the amount so distributed, or such rights as would entitle P, in the event of the winding up of C or in any other circumstances, to receive the greater part of the assets of C which would then be available for distribution among the participators. Any rights that P or any other person has as a loan creditor are to be disregarded for the purposes of the assumption in sub-paragraph (2)(c). If two or more persons together satisfy any of the conditions in sub-paragraphs (1) and (2), they are treated as having control of C. This paragraph applies for the purposes of paragraph 7. possesses any rights or powers on behalf of another person (“A”), or may be required to exercise any rights or powers on A's direction or on A's behalf, those rights or powers are to be attributed to A. There are also to be attributed to P all the rights and powers of any associate of P (including rights and powers exercisable jointly by any two or more associates of P). In this paragraph “associate”, in relation to P, means— any relative of P, the trustees of any settlement in relation to which P is a settlor, and the trustees of any settlement in relation to which any relative of P (living or dead) is or was a settlor. In this paragraph “relative” means— a spouse or civil partner, a parent or remoter forebear, a child or remoter issue, or a brother or sister. In this Part of this Schedule— “loan creditor” has the meaning given by section 453 of CTA 2010; “open-ended investment company” has the same meaning as in Part 17 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (see section 236 of that Act); “participator”, in relation to a company, has the meaning given by section 454 of CTA 2010. This Part of this Schedule sets out the rules for determining, for the purposes of this Schedule and section 14F, whether or not a scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time. In this Part of this Schedule “scheme” has the same meaning as in section 14F. A scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time when the scheme meets conditions A to C. Condition A is that the scheme produces documents, available to investors and to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, which contain— a statement specifying the intended categories of investor, an undertaking that units in the scheme will be widely available, and an undertaking that units in the scheme will be marketed and made available in accordance with the requirements of sub-paragraph (5)(a). the specification of the intended categories of investor does not have a limiting or deterrent effect, and any other terms or conditions governing participation in the scheme do not have a limiting or deterrent effect. In sub-paragraph (3) “limiting or deterrent effect” means an effect which— limits investors to a limited number of specific persons or specific groups of connected persons, or deters a reasonable investor falling within one of (what are specified as) the intended categories of investor from investing in the scheme. Condition C is that— units in the scheme are marketed and made available— sufficiently widely to reach the intended categories of investors, and in a manner appropriate to attract those categories of investors, and a person who falls within one of the intended categories of investors can, upon request to the manager of the scheme, obtain information about the scheme and acquire units in it. A scheme is not regarded as failing to meet condition C at any time by reason of the scheme's having, at that time, no capacity to receive additional investments, unless— the capacity of the scheme to receive investments in it is fixed by the scheme documents (or otherwise), and a pre-determined number of specific persons or specific groups of connected persons make investments in the scheme which collectively exhaust all, or substantially all, of that capacity. “units” means the rights or interests (however described) of the participants in a unit trust scheme or open-ended investment company. Schedule 4ZZA (relevant high value disposals: gains and losses) is amended as follows. In paragraph 1 the existing text becomes sub-paragraph (1). After that sub-paragraph insert— See also Part 4 of Schedule 4ZZB, which— makes provision about non-resident CGT disposals which are, or involve, relevant high value disposals, and includes provision about the computation of gains or losses on such disposals which are neither NRCGT gains or losses (as defined in section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) nor ATED-related. In paragraph 2(1), after paragraph (b) insert— See also the special rule in paragraph 6 (which takes precedence over paragraphs 3 and 4 where it applies). In paragraph 5, after sub-paragraph (3) insert— An election made in relation to an asset under paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 4ZZB (disposals by non-residents etc of UK residential property interests: gains and losses) also has effect as an election made under this paragraph in relation to the asset. After paragraph 6 insert— This paragraph applies where conditions A and B are met. Condition A is that the relevant high value disposal is— a non-resident CGT disposal (see section 14B), or one of two or more disposals which are (by virtue of section 2C and this Schedule) treated as comprised in a non-resident CGT disposal. the interest disposed of by the relevant high value disposal was held by P on 5 April 2015, neither Case 2 nor Case 3 in paragraph 2 applies, and no election under paragraph 5 of this Schedule (or paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 4ZZB) is or has been made in relation to the chargeable interest which (or a part of which) is the subject of the relevant high value disposal. The ATED-related gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is computed as follows. Step 1 Determine the amount of the post-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss. Step 2 Determine the amount of the pre-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss. Step 3 Add— the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 1, and the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 2, (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the ATED-related gain on the relevant high value disposal. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the ATED-related loss on the relevant high value disposal. The post-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss is equal to the amount that would be given by paragraph 3(1) as the amount of the ATED-related gain or loss if the relevant year for the purposes of that paragraph were 2015. The “pre-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss” means the relevant fraction of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss. “The relevant fraction” is— “CD” is the number of days in the relevant ownership period which are ATED chargeable days; “TD” is the total number of days in the relevant ownership period. If the interest disposed of was not held by P on 5 April 2013, the “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” is the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 had the interest been disposed of on that date for a consideration equal to its market value on that date. If the interest disposed of was held by P on 5 April 2013, the “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” is the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 if P had— acquired the interest on 5 April 2013 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date, and disposed of it on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date. Paragraph 3(3) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (8) and (9) as for the purposes of paragraph 3(2). In sub-paragraph (7) “relevant ownership period” means the period— beginning with the day on which P acquired the chargeable interest or, if later, 6 April 2013, and ending with 5 April 2015. For how to compute the amount of the gain or loss on the relevant high value disposal that is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss (as defined in section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) see paragraphs 16 to 19 of Schedule 4ZZB. After paragraph 7 insert— Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is necessary, in computing in accordance with paragraph 3(2) the notional post-commencement gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal, to determine whether or not the interest which is the subject of the disposal is a wasting asset. The assumption in paragraph 3(2) that the interest was acquired on a particular 5 April is to be ignored in determining that question.

Sub-paragraph (4) applies where it is necessary, in computing in accordance with paragraph 6A(9) the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a person on a disposal, to determine whether or not the interest which is the subject of the disposal is a wasting asset. The assumption in paragraph 6A(9) that the interest was acquired on 5 April 2013 is to be ignored in determining that question. In this paragraph references to a “wasting asset” are to a wasting asset as defined for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of this Act. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is to be assumed for the purpose of computing— the notional post-commencement gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal in accordance with paragraph 3(2), or the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a person on a disposal in accordance with paragraph 6A(9), that an asset was acquired by a person on 5 April 2013 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date. For the purposes of that computation, sections 41 (restriction of losses by reference to capital allowances etc) and 47 (wasting assets qualifying for capital allowances) are to apply in relation to any capital allowance or renewals allowance made in respect of the expenditure actually incurred by the person in acquiring or providing the asset as if that allowance were made in respect of the expenditure treated as incurred by the person on 5 April 2013 as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). After Schedule 4ZZA insert— This Schedule applies for the purpose of determining, in relation to a non-resident CGT disposal made by a person (“P”)— whether an NRCGT gain or loss accrues to P on the disposal, and the amount of any such gain or loss, and whether a gain or loss other than an NRCGT gain or loss accrues to P on the disposal, and the amount of any such gain or loss; (and see also sub-paragraph (2)(c)). Part 2 is about elections to vary the method of computation of gains and losses; Part 3 contains the main rules for computing the gains and losses; Part 4 contains separate rules for computing, in a case where the non-resident CGT disposal is, or involves, a relevant high value disposal (as defined in section 2C)— the amount of any NRCGT gains or losses accruing on the disposal, and the amount of any gains or losses accruing on the disposal that are neither ATED-related nor NRCGT gains or losses; Part 5 contains special rules about non-resident CGT disposals made by companies; Part 6 (miscellaneous provisions) contains special rules relating to wasting assets and capital allowances; Part 7 contains definitions for the purposes of this Schedule. See section 14B for the meaning of “non-resident CGT disposal”. A person (“P”) making a non-resident CGT disposal of (or of a part of) an interest in UK land which P held on 5 April 2015 may— make an election for straight-line time apportionment in relation to the interest in UK land; make an election for the retrospective basis of computation to apply in relation to that interest, (but may not do both). P may not make an election under sub-paragraph (1)(a) if the disposal is one to which Part 4 of this Schedule applies (cases involving relevant high value disposals). For the effect of making an election under sub-paragraph (1)(a), see paragraph 8. For the effect of making (or not making) an election under sub-paragraph (1)(b), see paragraphs 5(1)(b), 9(1)(b), 13(1)(b), 14(1)(a) and 15(1)(c) (and paragraph 6A(3)(c) of Schedule 4ZZA). An election made under paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA (including any such election made before the coming into force of this paragraph) has effect as if it were also an election under sub-paragraph (1)(b). An election under paragraph 2(1) is irrevocable (and where an election has been made under paragraph 2(1) or paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA in relation to an asset, no election may subsequently be made under either of those provisions in relation to the asset). An election under paragraph 2(1) may (regardless of section 42(2) of the Management Act) be made by being included in— a tax return under the Management Act for the tax year in which the first non-resident CGT disposal by P of the interest in UK land (or any part of it) is made, or the NRCGT return relating to the disposal, (but not by any other method). References in sub-paragraph (2) to an election being included in a return include an election being included by virtue of an amendment of the return. All such adjustments are to be made, whether by way of discharge or repayment of tax, the making of assessments or otherwise, as are required to give effect to an election under paragraph 2(1). This Part of this Schedule applies where a person (“P”) makes a non-resident CGT disposal of (or of a part of) an interest in UK land. But this Part of this Schedule does not apply if the disposal is— a relevant high value disposal, or a disposal in which a relevant high value disposal is comprised (see paragraph 12(3)). In this Part of this Schedule “the disposed of interest” means— the interest in UK land, or if the disposal is of part of that interest, the part disposed of. Paragraphs 6 to 8 apply where— the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2015, and P has not made an election under paragraph 2(1)(b) in relation to the interest in UK land. In paragraphs 6 and 7— “notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on the disposal had P acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date; “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 had the disposed of interest been disposed of for a consideration equal to its market value on that date; but see also paragraph 8(1). For the purpose of determining the amount of the hypothetical gain or loss mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a), no account is taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23). The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is equal to the relevant fraction of the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss (as the case may be). But see also sub-paragraph (3). “RD” is the number of days in the post-commencement ownership period on which the subject matter of the disposed of interest consists wholly or partly of a dwelling; “TD” is the total number of days in the post-commencement ownership period. If there has been mixed use of the subject matter of the disposed of interest on one or more days in the post-commencement ownership period, the NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is the fraction of the amount that would (apart from this sub-paragraph) be given by sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) that is, on a just and reasonable apportionment, attributable to the dwelling or dwellings. For the purposes of this paragraph there is “mixed use” of land on any day on which the land consists partly, but not exclusively, of one or more dwellings. “Post-commencement ownership period” means the period beginning with 6 April 2015 and ending with the day before the day on which the disposal occurs. The gain or loss accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain or (as the case may be) loss is computed as follows. Step 1 Determine the amount of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss. Step 2 In a case where there is a notional post-April 2015 gain, determine the amount of that gain remaining after the deduction of the NRCGT gain determined under paragraph 6. Step 3 In a case where there is a notional post-April 2015 loss, determine the amount of that loss remaining after the deduction of the NRCGT loss determined under paragraph 6. Step 4 Add— the amount of any gain determined under Step 2 or (as the case may be) any loss determined under Step 3, (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the gain on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the loss on the disposal which is not an NRCGT loss. Where the non-resident CGT disposal is of (or of a part of) an interest in UK land in respect of which P makes, or has made, an election for straight-line time apportionment under paragraph 2(1)(a)— paragraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 5(2) do not apply in relation to the disposal, and for the purposes of paragraphs 6 and 7, the “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” and the “notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” are to be determined in accordance with the following steps. Step 1 Determine the amount of the gain or loss which accrues to P on the disposal. For the purpose of determining that amount, no account is taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23). Step 2 An amount equal to the post-commencement fraction of that gain or loss is the notional post-April 2015 gain or (as the case may be) loss. Step 3 An amount equal to the pre-commencement fraction of that gain or loss is the notional pre-April 2015 gain or (as the case may be) loss. The “post-commencement fraction” is— “PCD” is the number of days in the post-commencement ownership period; “TD” is the total number of days in the ownership period. The “pre-commencement fraction” is— where “PCD” and “TD” have the same meanings as in sub-paragraph (2). “ownership period” means the period beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 31 March 1982 and ending with the day before the day on which the disposal occurs; “post-commencement ownership period” has the meaning given by paragraph 6(5). This paragraph applies if— the disposed of interest was not held by P throughout the period beginning with 5 April 2015 and ending with the disposal, or the non-resident CGT disposal is of (or of part of) an interest in UK land in respect of which P makes, or has made, an election under paragraph 2(1)(b). The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is computed as follows. Step 1 Determine the amount of the gain or loss which accrues to P. For the purpose of determining the amount of that gain or loss, no account is taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23). Step 2 The NRCGT gain or (as the case may be) loss accruing on the disposal is an amount equal to the relevant fraction of that gain or loss (but see Step 3). Step 3 If there has been mixed use of the subject matter of the disposed of interest on one or more days in the relevant ownership period, the NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal is equal to the appropriate fraction of the amount given by Step 2. In Step 3 “the appropriate fraction” means the fraction that is, on a just and reasonable apportionment, attributable to the dwelling or dwellings. The gain or loss accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain or (as the case may be) loss is to be computed as follows. Step 1 In a case where there is a gain under Step 1 of sub-paragraph (2), determine the amount of that gain remaining after the deduction of the NRCGT gain determined under that sub-paragraph. That remaining gain is the gain accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT gain. Step 2 In a case where there is a loss under Step 1 of sub-paragraph (2), determine the amount of that loss remaining after deduction of the NRCGT loss determined under that sub-paragraph. That remaining loss is the loss accruing on the disposal which is not an NRCGT loss. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), “the relevant fraction” is— “RD” is the number of days in the relevant ownership period on which the subject matter of the disposed of interest consists wholly or partly of a dwelling; “The relevant ownership period” means the period— beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 31 March 1982, and ending with the day before the day on which the disposal mentioned in paragraph 4(1) occurs. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the non-resident CGT disposal referred to in paragraph 4(1) is a disposal of a UK residential property interest only because of the second condition in paragraph 1 of Schedule B1 (interest subsisting under a contract for the acquisition of land that consists of, or includes, a building that is to be constructed for use as a dwelling etc). The land that is the subject of the contract concerned is treated for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule as consisting of (or, as the case requires, including) a dwelling throughout P's period of ownership of the disposed of interest. This Part is about non-resident CGT disposals which are, or involve, relevant high value disposals (see section 2B, which charges capital gains tax on ATED-related gains on relevant high value disposals). Paragraphs 12 to 15 contain provision about how any NRCGT gains and losses on such a disposal are computed, including provision— for the NRCGT gains or losses to be computed for each relevant high value disposal comprised in the non-resident CGT disposal (paragraphs 13 to 15), and for the results to be added (where necessary) to find the NRCGT gain or loss on the non-resident CGT disposal (see paragraph 12). For provision about how to compute any ATED-related gains or losses accruing on the relevant high value disposals, see Schedule 4ZZA. Paragraphs 16 to 19 contain provisions for computing any gains or losses accruing on the disposals mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) which are neither ATED-related nor NRCGT gains or losses, including provision— for such balancing gains or losses to be computed for each relevant high value disposal comprised in the non-resident CGT disposal, and for the results to be added together (where necessary) to find the balancing gain or loss on the non-resident CGT disposal (see paragraph 16). Paragraph 20 is about cases where a disposal which is not a relevant high value disposal is also comprised in the non-resident CGT disposal. This Part of this Schedule applies where— a person (other than an excluded person) (“P”) makes a non-resident CGT disposal of (or of part of) an interest in UK land, and that disposal (“the disposal of land”) is a relevant high value disposal or a relevant high value disposal is comprised in it. In this sub-paragraph “excluded person” has the meaning given by section 2B(2). The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the disposal of land is computed as follows. Step 1 Determine in accordance with paragraphs 13 to 15 the amount of the NRCGT gain or loss accruing on each relevant high value disposal. Step 2 Add together the amounts of any gains or losses determined under Step 1 (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the NRCGT gain on the disposal of land. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the NRCGT loss on the disposal of land. See paragraphs 16 to 19 for how to compute the gain or loss on the disposal of land which is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss. For the purposes of this Schedule, a relevant high value disposal is “comprised in” a non-resident CGT disposal if— the non-resident CGT disposal is treated for the purposes of section 2C and Schedule 4ZZA as two or more disposals, and the relevant high value disposal is one of those. “the asset”, in relation to a relevant high value disposal, means the chargeable interest which (or a part of which) is the subject of that disposal, and “the disposed of interest”, in relation to a relevant high value disposal, means the asset or, if only part of the asset is the subject of the relevant high value disposal, that part of the asset. For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule a day is a “section 14D chargeable day” in relation to a relevant high value disposal if— it is a day on which the subject matter of the disposed of interest consists wholly or partly of a dwelling, but it is not an ATED chargeable day (as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 4ZZA). This paragraph applies where— the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2015, P has not made an election under paragraph 2(1)(b) (or paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA) in respect of the asset, and paragraph 15 does not apply. The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is equal to the special fraction of the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss (as the case may be) on that disposal. “Notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on the relevant high value disposal had P acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date. “The special fraction” is— “SD” is the number of section 14D chargeable days (see paragraph 12(5)) in the post-commencement ownership period; “The post-commencement ownership period” means the period beginning with 6 April 2015 and ending with the day before the day on which the relevant high value disposal occurs. P makes, or has made, an election under paragraph 2(1)(b) (or paragraph 5 of Schedule 4ZZA) in respect of the asset, or the disposed of interest was not held by P throughout the period beginning with 5 April 2015 and ending with the disposal. But this paragraph does not apply if paragraph 15 applies. The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is computed as follows. Step 1 Determine the amount of the gain or loss which accrues to P. (For the purpose of determining the amount of that gain or loss, no account need be taken of section 57B or this Schedule (apart from paragraph 23).) Step 2 The NRCGT gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value disposal is equal to the special fraction of that gain or loss. For this purpose “the special fraction” is— “SD” is the number of section 14D chargeable days (see paragraph 12(5)) in the relevant ownership period; “Relevant ownership period” means the period— ending with the day before the day on which the relevant high value disposal occurs. the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2016, the relevant high value disposal falls within Case 3 for the purposes of Schedule 4ZZA (see paragraph 2(4) of that Schedule), and no election is or has been made (or treated as made) by P under paragraph 2(1)(b) in respect of the asset. Step 1 Determine the amount equal to the special fraction of the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss (as the case may be). Step 2 Determine the amount equal to the special fraction of the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss (as the case may be). (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the NRCGT gain on the relevant high value disposal. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the NRCGT loss on the relevant high value disposal. The “relevant ownership period” is— for the purpose of computing under Step 1 of sub-paragraph (2) the special fraction of the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss, the period beginning with 6 April 2016 and ending with the day before the day on which the relevant high value disposal occurs; for the purpose of computing under Step 2 of sub-paragraph (2) the special fraction of the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss, the period beginning with the day on which P acquired the disposed of interest or, if later, 6 April 2015 and ending with 5 April 2016. “Notional post-April 2016 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on the relevant high value disposal had P acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2016 for a consideration equal to its market value on that date. If the disposed of interest was not held by P on 5 April 2015, “notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2016 had the disposed of interest been disposed of for a consideration equal to the market value of the interest on that date. If the disposed of interest was held by P on 5 April 2015, “notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued to P on the disposal mentioned in paragraph (b), had P— acquired the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date, and disposed of that interest on 5 April 2016 for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date. The gain or loss on the disposal of land (see paragraph 12(1)(b)) which is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss (“the balancing gain or loss”) is computed as follows. Step 1 Determine in accordance with paragraphs 17 to 19 the amount of the gain or loss accruing on each relevant high value disposal which is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT gain or loss. This is the “balancing” gain or loss for each such disposal. Step 2 Add together the amounts of any balancing gains or losses determined under Step 1 (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the balancing gain on the disposal of land. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the balancing loss on the disposal of land. In relation to a relevant high value disposal, “balancing day” means a day which is neither— a section 14D chargeable day (see paragraph 12(5)), nor an ATED chargeable day. In relation to a relevant high value disposal, “non-ATED chargeable day” means a day which is not an ATED chargeable day. The references in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) to an “ATED chargeable day” are to be interpreted in accordance with paragraph 3(6) of Schedule 4ZZA. This paragraph applies in relation to a relevant high value disposal to which paragraph 13 applies. If paragraph 6A of Schedule 4ZZA does not apply, the amount of the balancing gain or loss on the relevant high value disposal is found by adding— the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss, and the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss, (treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount). If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the balancing gain on the relevant high value disposal. If the result is a negative amount, that amount (expressed as a positive number) is the balancing loss on the relevant high value disposal. If paragraph 6A of Schedule 4ZZA applies, the amount of the balancing gain or loss on the relevant high value disposal is found by adding— the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss, the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss, and if P held the disposed of interest on 5 April 2013, the amount of the notional pre-April 2013 gain or loss, The balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss is equal to the balancing fraction of the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss. The balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss is equal to the non-ATED related fraction of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss. “The balancing fraction” is— “BD” is the number of balancing days (see paragraph 16(2)) in the appropriate ownership period; “TD” is the total number of days in the appropriate ownership period. “The non-ATED related fraction” is— “NAD” is the number of non-ATED chargeable days (see paragraph 16(3)) in the appropriate ownership period; “Appropriate ownership period” means— for the purpose of computing the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss, the post-commencement ownership period defined in paragraph 13(5); for the purpose of computing the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss, the relevant ownership period defined in paragraph 6A(11) of Schedule 4ZZA. “notional post-April 2015 gain or loss” has the same meaning as in paragraph 13; “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” has the same meaning as in paragraph 6A of Schedule 4ZZA; “notional pre-April 2013 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2013 had the disposed of interest been disposed of for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest at that date. In the case of a relevant high value disposal to which paragraph 14 applies, the amount of the balancing gain or loss is determined as follows. Determine the number of balancing days (see paragraph 16(2)) in the relevant ownership period. The balancing gain or loss on the disposal is equal to the balancing fraction of the amount of the gain or (as the case may be) loss determined under Step 1 of paragraph 14(3). “BD” is the number of balancing days in the relevant ownership period; In this paragraph “relevant ownership period” has the same meaning as in paragraph 14. The amount of the balancing gain or loss on a relevant high value disposal to which paragraph 15 applies is found by adding— the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss, the amount of the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss, and if P held the disposed of interest on 5 April 2015, the amount of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss, The balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss is equal to the balancing fraction of the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss. The balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss is equal to the balancing fraction of the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss. The appropriate ownership period is— for the purpose of computing the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss, the relevant ownership period mentioned in paragraph 15(4)(a); for the purpose of computing the balancing gain or loss belonging to the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss, the relevant ownership period mentioned in paragraph 15(4)(b). “notional post-April 2016 gain or loss” and “notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss” mean the same as in paragraph 15; “notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” means the gain or loss which would have accrued on 5 April 2015 if the disposed of interest had been disposed of for a consideration equal to the market value of that interest on that date. This paragraph applies where the disposals comprised in the disposal of land (see paragraph 12(3)) include a disposal (the “non-ATED related disposal”) which is not a relevant high value disposal. This Part of this Schedule (apart from this paragraph) applies in relation to the non-ATED related disposal as if it were a relevant high value disposal. Sub-paragraph (4) applies if there has, at any time in the relevant ownership period, been mixed use of the subject matter of the disposed of interest. The amount of any NRCGT gain or loss on the non-ATED related disposal computed under this Part of this Schedule is taken to be the appropriate fraction of the amount that it would otherwise be. In sub-paragraph (4) “the appropriate fraction” means the fraction that is, on a just and reasonable apportionment, attributable to the dwelling or dwellings. In this paragraph “the relevant ownership period” means, as applicable— the post-commencement ownership period, as defined in paragraph 13(5), the relevant ownership period, as defined in paragraph 14(5), or the relevant ownership period as defined in paragraph 15(4). Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the non-resident CGT disposal made by P as mentioned in paragraph 12(1) is a disposal of a UK residential property interest only because of the second condition in paragraph 1 of Schedule B1 (interest subsisting under a contract for the acquisition of land that consists of, or includes, a building that is to be constructed for use as a dwelling etc). The land that is the subject of the contract concerned is treated for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule as consisting of (or, as the case requires, including) a dwelling throughout P's period of ownership of the interest in UK land. This Part of this Schedule applies where the person making the non-resident CGT disposal is a company. The following amounts are computed as if the computation were for corporation tax purposes— the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraphs 6 and 7; the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraphs 6 and 7; the gain or loss determined under Step 1 of paragraph 9(2); the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraph 13; the gain or loss determined under Step 1 of paragraph 14(3); the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraph 15; the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraph 15; the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss, the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss and the notional pre-April 2013 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraph 17; the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss, the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss and the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss for the purposes of paragraph 19. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is necessary, for the purposes of a relevant computation, to determine whether or not the asset which is the subject of the disposal in question is a wasting asset (as defined for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2). The assumption (which operates for the purposes of that computation) that the asset was acquired on 5 April 2015 or, as the case may be, 5 April 2016 is to be ignored in determining that question. In sub-paragraph (1) “relevant computation” means a computation of— the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a person on a non-resident CGT disposal in accordance with paragraph 5(2)(a), the notional post-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal in accordance with paragraph 13(3), the notional post-April 2016 gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal in accordance with paragraph 15(5), or the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss accruing to a person on a disposal in accordance with paragraph 15(7). the notional pre-April 2016 gain or loss accruing to a person on a disposal in accordance with paragraph 15(7), that an asset was acquired by a person on 5 April 2015 or (as the case may be) 5 April 2016 (“the deemed acquisition date”) for a consideration equal to its market value on that date. For the purposes of that computation, sections 41 (restriction of losses by reference to capital allowances and renewals allowances) and 47 (wasting assets qualifying for capital allowances) are to apply in relation to any capital allowance or renewals allowance made in respect of the expenditure actually incurred by the person in acquiring or providing the asset as if that allowance were made in respect of the expenditure treated as incurred by the person on the deemed acquisition date as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). “chargeable interest” has the same meaning as in Part 3 of the Finance Act 2013 (annual tax on enveloped dwellings) (see section 107 of that Act); “subject matter”, in relation to an interest in UK land (or a chargeable interest) means the land to which the interest relates. In Schedule 4C (transfers of value: attribution of gains etc), in paragraph 4, after sub-paragraph (2) insert— Where any of the disposals which the trustees are treated as having made as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) is a non-resident CGT disposal— any chargeable gain or allowable loss accruing on that disposal, other than an NRCGT gain chargeable to, or an NRCGT loss allowable for the purposes of, capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D, is to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) as if it were a chargeable gain or (as the case requires) allowable loss falling to be taken into account in calculating the chargeable amount, and that disposal is otherwise to be disregarded for the purpose of calculating the chargeable amount. TMA 1970 is amended in accordance with paragraphs 42 to 55. After section 7 insert— a person (“P”) is the taxable person in relation to an NRCGT return relating to a tax year (“year X”) which is made and delivered to an officer of Revenue and Customs before the end of the notification period and contains an advance self-assessment, the return is in respect of a non-resident CGT disposal on which an NRCGT gain accrues, and P would (apart from this section) be required to give a notice under section 7 with respect to year X. For the purpose of determining whether or not P is required to give such a notice (and only for that purpose), P is regarded as not being chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of the NRCGT gain mentioned in subsection (1)(b). The reference in subsection (1) to the tax year to which an NRCGT return “relates” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZB(7). “advance self-assessment” has the meaning given by section 12ZE(1); “the notification period” has the meaning given by section 7(1C); the “taxable person”, in relation to a non-resident CGT disposal, means the person who would be chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of any chargeable NRCGT gain accruing on the disposal (were such a gain to accrue). See— section 14B of the 1992 Act for the meaning of “non-resident CGT disposal”; section 57B of, and Schedule 4ZZB to, the 1992 Act for the meaning of “NRCGT gain”. Before section 12AA (and the italic heading before it) insert— In sections 12ZA to 12ZN— “advance self-assessment” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZE(1); “amount notionally chargeable” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZF(1); “filing date”, in relation to an NRCGT return, is to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZB(8); “interest in UK land” has the same meaning as in Schedule B1 to the 1992 Act (see paragraph 2 of that Schedule); the “taxable person”, in relation to a non-resident CGT disposal, means the person who would be chargeable to capital gains tax in respect of any chargeable NRCGT gain (see section 57B of, and Schedule 4ZZB to, the 1992 Act) accruing on the disposal (were such a gain to accrue). In those sections, references to the tax year to which an NRCGT return “relates” are to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZB(7). For the purposes of those sections the “completion” of a non-resident CGT disposal is taken to occur— if the disposal is under a contract which is completed by a conveyance, at the time when the asset is conveyed. For the meaning in those sections of “non-resident CGT disposal” see section 14B of the 1992 Act (and see also section 12ZJ). For the meaning of “NRCGT group” in those sections see section 288(1) of the 1992 Act. In this section “conveyance” includes any instrument (and “conveyed” is to be construed accordingly). Where a non-resident CGT disposal is made, the appropriate person must make and deliver to an officer of Revenue and Customs, on or before the filing date, a return in respect of the disposal. In subsection (1) the “appropriate person” means— the taxable person in relation to the disposal, or if the disposal is made by a member of an NRCGT group, the relevant members of the group. A return under this section is called an “NRCGT return”. An NRCGT return must— contain the information prescribed by HMRC, and include a declaration by the person making it that the return is to the best of the person's knowledge correct and complete. Subsection (1) does not apply to a non-resident CGT disposal to which section 188C of the 1992 Act applies (transfers within NRCGT group). For the purposes of subsection (2)(b), the “relevant members” of the NRCGT group are— the companies which are members of that group when the disposal is made, and any other companies which are, at any time before the time of the disposal in the tax year to which the return relates, members of that group. An NRCGT return “relates to” the tax year in which any gains on the non-resident CGT disposal would accrue. The “filing date” for an NRCGT return is the 30th day following the day of the completion of the disposal to which the return relates. But see also section 12ZJ(5). a person is required to make and deliver an NRCGT return with respect to two or more non-resident CGT disposals, the date of the completion of each of the disposals is the same, and any gains accruing on the disposals would accrue in the same tax year, the person is to make and deliver a single return with respect to all those disposals. by virtue of section 144(2) of the 1992 Act, the grant of an option binding the grantor to sell an interest in UK land is, on the exercise of the option, treated as the same transaction as the sale, and both the grant of the option and the transaction entered into by the grantor in fulfilment of the grantor's obligations under the option (“the sale”) would be non-resident CGT disposals (were they not treated as a single transaction). On completion of the sale— the grantor is to be subject to the same obligations under sections 12ZB, 12ZE and 59AA (duties relating to returns and payments on account) in relation to the grant of the option as the grantor would be subject to were the option never to be exercised, and the consideration for the option is to be disregarded (despite section 144(2) of the 1992 Act) in calculating under section 12ZF the amount of capital gains tax notionally chargeable at the completion date of the single transaction mentioned in subsection (1)(a). In this section “sell” is to be interpreted in accordance with section 144(6) of the 1992 Act. An NRCGT return (“the current return”) relating to a tax year (“year Y”) which a person (“P”) is required to make in respect of one or more non-resident CGT disposals (“the current disposals”) must include an assessment (an “advance self-assessment”) of— the amount notionally chargeable at the filing date for the current return (see section 12ZF), and if P has made (or is to make) a prior NRCGT return, the amount of any increase in the amount notionally chargeable for year Y. But see the exceptions in section 12ZG. In a case falling within subsection (1)(b)— there is an “increase in the amount notionally chargeable” for year Y if the amount notionally chargeable at the filing date for the current return exceeds the corresponding amount for the prior NRCGT return (or the prior NRCGT return which has the most recent filing date, if there is more than one), and the amount of that increase is the amount of the excess. “Prior NRCGT return” means an NRCGT return which— relates to year Y, and is in respect of a non-resident CGT disposal (or disposals) the completion date of which is earlier than that of the current disposals. The “amount notionally chargeable” at the filing date for an NRCGT return (“the current return”) is the amount of capital gains tax to which the person whose return it is (“P”) would be chargeable under section 14D or 188D of the 1992 Act for the year to which the return relates (“year Y”), as determined— on the assumption in subsection (2), in accordance with subsection (3), and if P is an individual, on the basis of a reasonable estimate of the matters set out in subsection (4). The assumption mentioned in subsection (1)(a) is that in year Y no NRCGT gain or loss accrues to P on any disposal the completion of which occurs after the day of the completion of the disposals to which the return relates (“day X”). In the determination of the amount notionally chargeable— all allowable losses accruing to P in year Y on disposals of assets the completion of which occurs on or before day X which are available to be deducted under paragraph (a) or (b) of section 14D(2) or (as the case may be) section 188D(2) of the 1992 Act are to be so deducted, and any other relief or allowance relating to capital gains tax which is required to be given in P's case is to be taken into account, so far as the relief would be available on the assumption in subsection (2). The matters mentioned in subsection (1)(c) are— whether or not income tax will be chargeable at the higher rate or the dividend upper rate in respect of P's income for year Y (see section 4(4) of the 1992 Act), and (if P estimates that income tax will not be chargeable as mentioned in paragraph (a)) what P's Step 3 income will be for year Y. An advance self-assessment must, in particular, give particulars of any estimate made for the purposes of subsection (1)(c). A reasonable estimate included in an NRCGT return in accordance with subsection (5) is not regarded as inaccurate for the purposes of Schedule 24 to the Finance Act 2007 (penalties for errors). Where P is the relevant body of an NRCGT group— the references to P in subsections (2) and (3)(a) are to be read as references to any member of the NRCGT group; the reference to P in subsection (3)(b) is to be read as including any member of the NRCGT group. an estimate is “reasonable” if it is made on a basis that is fair and reasonable, having regard to the circumstances in which it is made; “Step 3 income”, in relation to an individual, has the same meaning as in section 4 of the 1992 Act. In this section, references to the “relevant body” of an NRCGT group are to be interpreted in accordance with section 188D(4) of the 1992 Act. Section 989 of ITA 2007 (the definitions) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for income tax purposes. For the meaning of “NRCGT gain” and “NRCGT loss” see section 57B of, and Schedule 4ZZB to, the 1992 Act. Where a person (“P”) is required to make and deliver an NRCGT return relating to a tax year (“year Y”), section 12ZE(1) (requirement to include advance self-assessment in return) does not apply if condition A, B or C is met. Condition A is that P (or, if P is the trustees of a settlement, any trustee of the settlement) has been given, on or before the day on which the NRCGT return is required to be delivered, a notice under section 8 or 8A with respect to— year Y, or the previous tax year, and that notice has not been withdrawn. Condition B is that P has been given, on or before the day on which the NRCGT return is required to be delivered, a notice under paragraph 3 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 (notice requiring delivery of a company tax return) specifying a period which includes the whole or part of— Condition C is that an annual tax on enveloped dwellings return has been delivered by P (or a representative partner acting instead of P) for the preceding chargeable period. In subsection (4)— “the preceding chargeable period” means the chargeable period (as defined in section 94(8) of the Finance Act 2013) which ends with the 31 March preceding year Y; “representative partner” has the meaning given by section 167(6) of the Finance Act 2013. The Treasury may by regulations prescribe further circumstances in which section 12ZE(1) is not to apply. Regulations under subsection (6)— may make different provision for different purposes; may include incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision. This section applies where a person (“P”) (other than the relevant trustees of a settlement)— is not required to give a notice under section 7 with respect to a tax year (“year X”), and would be required to give such a notice in the absence of section 7A (which removes that duty in certain cases where the person has made an NRCGT return that includes an advance self-assessment). In this section, “the relevant NRCGT return” means— the NRCGT return by virtue of which P is not required to give a notice under section 7 with respect to year X, or if more than one NRCGT return falls within paragraph (a), the one relating to the disposal which has the latest completion date. P is treated for the purposes of the Taxes Acts as having been required to make and deliver to an officer of Revenue and Customs a return under section 8 for the purpose of establishing, with respect to year X, the matters mentioned in section 8(1). For the purposes of subsection (3), section 8 is to be read as if subsections (1E) to (1G) of that section were omitted. If P does not give a notice under subsection (6) before 31 January in the tax year after year X, the Taxes Acts have effect, from that date, as if the advance self-assessment contained in the relevant NRCGT return were a self-assessment included, for the purposes set out in section 9(1), in a return under section 8 made by P and delivered on that date. If P gives HMRC a notice under this subsection specifying an NRCGT return which— relates to year X, and contains an advance self-assessment, the Taxes Acts are to have effect, from the effective date of the notice, as if that advance self-assessment were a self-assessment included, for the purposes set out in section 9(1), in a return under section 8 made by P and delivered on that date. References in the Taxes Acts to a return under section 8 (for example, references to amending, or enquiring into, a return under that section) are to be read in accordance with subsections (5) and (6). A notice under subsection (6)— must be given before 31 January in the tax year after year X; must state that P considers the advance self-assessment in question to be an accurate self-assessment in respect of year X for the purposes of section 9. The “effective date” of a notice under subsection (6) is— the day on which the NRCGT return specified in the notice is delivered, or if later, the day on which the notice is given. The self-assessment which subsection (5) or (6) treats as having been made by P is referred to in this section as the “section 9 self-assessment”. If P— gives a notice under subsection (6), and makes and delivers a subsequent NRCGT return relating to year X which contains an advance self-assessment, that advance self-assessment is to be treated as amending the section 9 self-assessment. For the purposes of subsection (11), an NRCGT return made and delivered by P (“return B”) is “subsequent” to an NRCGT return to which P's notice under subsection (6) relates (“the notified return”) if the day of the completion of the disposal to which return B relates is later than the day of the completion of the disposal to which the notified return relates. This section applies where the relevant trustees of a settlement (“the trustees”)— are not required to give a notice under section 7 with respect to a tax year (“year X”), and would be required to give such a notice in the absence of section 7A (which removes that duty in certain cases where the person has made an NRCGT return including an advance self-assessment). The trustees are treated for the purposes of the Taxes Acts as having been required to make and deliver to an officer of Revenue and Customs a return under section 8A, for the purpose of establishing, with respect to year X, the matters mentioned in section 8A(1). For the purposes of subsection (3), section 8A is to be read as if— in subsection (1) of that section, “, and the settlors and beneficiaries,” were omitted, and subsections (1C) to (1E) of that section were omitted. If the trustees do not give a notice under subsection (6) before 31 January in the tax year after year X, the Taxes Acts have effect, from that date, as if the advance self-assessment contained in the relevant NRCGT return were a self-assessment included, for the purposes set out in section 9(1), in a return under section 8A made by the trustees and delivered on that date. If the trustees give HMRC a notice under this subsection specifying an NRCGT return which— the Taxes Acts are to have effect, from the effective date of the notice, as if that advance self-assessment were a self-assessment included, for the purposes set out in section 9(1), in a return under section 8A made by the trustees and delivered on that date.

References in the Taxes Acts to a return under section 8A (for example, references to amending, or enquiring into, a return under that section) are to be read in accordance with subsections (5) and (6). must state that the trustees consider the advance self-assessment in question to be an accurate self-assessment in respect of year X for the purposes of section 9. The self-assessment which subsection (5) or (6) treats as having been made by the trustees is referred to in this section as the “section 9 self-assessment”. If the trustees— give a notice under subsection (6), and make and deliver a subsequent NRCGT return relating to year X which contains an advance self-assessment, For the purposes of subsection (11), an NRCGT return made and delivered by the trustees (“return B”) is “subsequent” to an NRCGT return to which the trustees' notice under subsection (6) relates (“the notified return”) if the day of the completion of the disposal to which return B relates is later than the day of the completion of the disposal to which the notified return relates. For the purposes of sections 12ZA to 12ZI, the question whether or not a disposal of a UK residential property interest is a non-resident CGT disposal is to be determined in accordance with subsections (2) and (3). A non-residence condition is to be taken to be met in relation to a disposal of a UK residential property interest if, at the time of the completion of the disposal— it is uncertain whether or not that condition will be met, but it is reasonable to expect that that condition will be met. If (in a case within subsection (2)) it later becomes certain that neither of the non-residence conditions is met in relation to the disposal, the disposal is treated as not being, and as never having been, a non-resident CGT disposal (and any necessary repayments or adjustments are to be made accordingly). Subsection (5) applies if— at the time of the completion of the disposal of a UK residential property interest it is uncertain whether or not the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal because it is uncertain whether or not a non-residence condition will be met, but the case does not fall within subsection (2), and it later becomes certain that a non-residence condition is met in relation to the disposal. For the purposes of this Act, the filing date for the NRCGT return is taken to be the 30th day following the day on which it becomes certain that a non-residence condition is met in relation to the disposal. In this section “a non-residence condition” means condition A or B in section 14B of the 1992 Act. A person may, by notice to an officer of Revenue and Customs, amend the person's NRCGT return. An amendment may not be made more than 12 months after 31 January of the year following the relevant tax year. In subsection (2) “the relevant tax year” means the tax year in which any gains on the disposal to which the return relates would accrue. An officer of Revenue and Customs may amend an NRCGT return so as to correct— obvious errors or omissions in the return (whether errors of principle, arithmetical mistakes or otherwise), and anything else in the return that the officer has reason to believe is incorrect in the light of information available to the officer. A correction under this section is made by notice to the person whose return it is. No such correction may be made more than 9 months after— the day on which the return was delivered, or if the correction is required in consequence of an amendment of the return under section 12ZK (amendment by the taxpayer), the day on which that amendment was made. A correction under this section is of no effect if the person to whom the notice of correction was given gives notice rejecting the correction. Notice of rejection under subsection (4) must be given— to the officer of Revenue and Customs by whom the notice of correction was given, before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the date of issue of the notice of correction. An officer of Revenue and Customs may enquire into an NRCGT return if the officer gives notice of the intention to do so (“notice of enquiry”)— to the person whose return it is, within the time allowed. The time allowed is— if the return was delivered on or before 31 January in the year following the relevant tax year (the “annual filing date”), up to the end of the period of 12 months after the day on which the return was delivered; if the return was delivered after the annual filing date, up to and including the quarter day next following the first anniversary of the day on which the return was delivered; if the return is amended under section 12ZL (correction by HMRC), up to and including the quarter day next following the first anniversary of the day on which the amendment was made. For this purpose the quarter days are 31 January, 30 April, 31 July and 31 October. An enquiry extends to anything contained in the return, or required to be contained in the return, including any claim or election included in the return, subject to the following limitation. If the notice of enquiry is given as a result of an amendment of the return under section 12ZK (amendment by taxpayer)— at a time when it is no longer possible to give notice of enquiry under subsection (2)(a) or (b), or after an enquiry into the return has been completed, the enquiry into the return is limited to matters to which the amendment relates or which are affected by the amendment. In subsection (2) “the relevant tax year” means the tax year in which any gain on the disposal to which the return relates would accrue. This section applies if an NRCGT return is amended under section 12ZK (amendment by taxpayer) at a time when an enquiry is in progress into the return. The amendment does not restrict the scope of the enquiry but may be taken into account (together with any matters arising) in the enquiry. So far as the amendment affects the amount notionally chargeable for the purposes of the return (see section 12ZF(1)), it does not take effect while the enquiry is in progress and— if the officer states in the closure notice that the officer has taken the amendment into account and that— the amendment has been taken into account in formulating the amendments contained in the notice, or the officer's conclusion is that the amendment is incorrect, the amendment is not to take effect; otherwise, the amendment takes effect when the closure notice is issued. For the purposes of this section the period during which an enquiry is in progress is the whole of the period— beginning with the day on which the notice of enquiry is given, and ending with the day on which the enquiry is completed. Section 28A (completion of enquiry into personal or trustee return) is amended as follows. In subsection (1), after “9A(1)” insert “ or 12ZM ”. In the heading, after “return” insert “ or NRCGT return ”. Before section 29 insert— This section applies where it appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs that— a person is required to make and deliver in respect of a non-resident CGT disposal an NRCGT return containing an advance self-assessment, and the person has not delivered the required return by the filing date for the return. The officer may make a determination, to the best of the officer's information and belief, of the amount of capital gains tax which should have been assessed in the required return as the amount notionally chargeable. Notice of any determination under this section must be served on the person in respect of whom it is made and must state the date on which it is issued. Until such time (if any) as it is superseded by an advance self-assessment on the basis of information contained in an NRCGT return, a determination under this section is to have effect as if it were an advance self-assessment contained in an NRCGT return made by the person in respect of the disposal concerned. proceedings have been commenced for the recovery of an amount payable by virtue of a determination under this section, and before those proceedings are concluded, the determination is superseded by an advance self-assessment made by the person in respect of the disposal, those proceedings may be continued as if they were proceedings for the recovery of so much of the amount payable by virtue of the advance self-assessment as is due and payable and has not been paid. No determination under this section, and no advance self-assessment superseding such a determination may be made— after the end of the period of 3 years beginning with 31 January of the year following the tax year to which the determination relates, or in the case of such an advance self-assessment, after the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the date of the determination. “filing date”, in relation to an NRCGT return, is to be interpreted in accordance with section 12ZB(8). For the meaning in this section of “non-resident CGT disposal” see section 14B of the 1992 Act. In section 29 (assessment where loss of tax discovered), in subsection (7)(a), omit the “and” following sub-paragraph (i), and after that sub-paragraph insert— a reference to any NRCGT return made and delivered by the taxpayer which contains an advance self-assessment relating to the relevant year of assessment or either of the two immediately preceding chargeable periods; and After section 29 insert— Subsection (2) applies if HMRC discover, as regards a non-resident CGT disposal made by a person (“P”) (or two or more such disposals in a case falling within section 12ZC) and a tax year (“the relevant tax year”) that— an amount that ought to have been assessed as the amount notionally chargeable in an advance self-assessment under section 12ZE(1) has not been so assessed by the filing date, or an assessment of the amount notionally chargeable for the purposes of section 12ZF(1) contained in an NRCGT return made and delivered by P has become insufficient. HMRC may determine that the amount or further amount which in its opinion ought to be assessed under section 12ZE to remedy the failure mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or the insufficiency mentioned in subsection (1)(b) is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as if it were so assessed in— an NRCGT return made by P in respect of the disposal, or (if P has made and delivered an NRCGT return in respect of the disposal) that return. But see subsections (3) to (5). Where P has made and delivered in respect of the disposal an NRCGT return containing an advance self-assessment, HMRC may not make a determination under subsection (2) in respect of the disposal unless one of the two conditions mentioned below is met. The first condition is that the situation mentioned in subsection (1) was brought about carelessly or deliberately by P or a person acting on P's behalf. The second condition is that at the time when an officer of Revenue and Customs— ceased to be entitled to give notice of the officer's intention to enquire into the NRCGT return, or informed P of the completion of the officer's enquiries into the return, the officer could not reasonably have been expected, on the basis of the information made available to the officer before that time, to be aware of the situation mentioned in subsection (1). For the purposes of subsection (5), information is made available to an officer of Revenue and Customs if— it is contained in an NRCGT return made and delivered by P which relates to the relevant tax year or either or the two immediately preceding tax years, it is contained in any return under section 8 or 8A made and delivered by P in respect of either of the two tax years immediately preceding the relevant tax year, it is contained in any claim made by P which relates to P's capital gains tax position with respect to the relevant tax year or either of the two immediately preceding tax years, it is contained in any accounts, statements or documents accompanying a return falling within paragraph (a) or (b) or a claim falling within paragraph (c), it is contained in any documents, accounts or particulars which, for the purposes of any enquiries by an officer of Revenue and Customs into a return falling within paragraph (a) or (b) or a claim falling within paragraph (c) are produced or provided by P to the officer, or it is information the existence of which, and the relevance of which as regards the situation mentioned in subsection (1)— could be reasonably expected to be inferred by an officer of Revenue and Customs from information falling within paragraphs (a) to (e), or are notified in writing by the taxpayer to an officer of Revenue and Customs. In subsection (6)— any reference to a return made and delivered by P under section 8 in respect of a tax year includes, if P carries on a trade, profession or business in partnership, a reference to any partnership return with respect to the partnership for that tax year, and any reference to P includes a person acting on P's behalf. An objection to the making of a determination under subsection (2) on the ground that neither of the two conditions mentioned above is fulfilled may not be made otherwise than on an appeal against the assessment. “filing date”, in relation to an NRCGT return, has the meaning given by section 12ZB(8). In section 34 (ordinary time limit of 4 years), after subsection (1) insert— In subsection (1) the reference to an assessment to capital gains tax includes a determination under section 29A (non-resident CGT disposals: determination of amount which should have been assessed). In section 42 (procedure for making claims), in subsection (11), after “8A,” insert “ 12ZB ”. In section 59A (payments on account of income tax), omit subsection (7). After section 59A insert— Subsections (2) and (3) apply where a person (“P”) is required to make, in relation to a tax year, an NRCGT return in respect of one or more non-resident CGT disposals containing an advance self-assessment and the amount in subsection (6)(a) is greater than the amount in subsection (6)(b). With effect from the filing date for the return, the balancing amount is (or, where applicable, becomes) the amount payable by P on account of P's liability to capital gains tax for the tax year. Where P is the relevant members of an NRCGT group, P is responsible for discharging the obligation of the taxable person to pay any balancing amounts and such amounts are payable on account of the taxable person's liability to capital gains tax for the tax year. Subsection (5) applies where a person (“P”) is required to make, in relation to a tax year, an NRCGT return containing an advance self-assessment and the amount in subsection (6)(a) is less than the amount in subsection (6)(b). The balancing amount is repayable to P on the filing date for the return. The amounts referred to in subsections (1) and (4) are— the amount notionally chargeable contained in the self-assessment, and the total of any amounts previously paid under this section on account of P's liability to capital gains tax for the tax year. In subsections (2) and (5) “the balancing amount” means the difference between those amounts. Where, in the case of a repayment, the NRCGT return is enquired into by an officer of Revenue and Customs— nothing in subsection (5) requires the repayment to be made before the day on which, by virtue of section 28A(1), the enquiry is completed, but the officer may at any time before that day make the repayment, on a provisional basis, to such extent as the officer thinks fit. Subsection (10) applies to— any amount payable on account of capital gains tax as a result of the amendment or correction under section 12ZK, 12ZL or 28A of an advance self-assessment, and any amount paid on account of capital gains tax which is repayable as a result of such an amendment or correction. The amount is payable or (as the case may be) repayable on or before the day specified by the relevant provision of Schedule 3ZA. Subsection (12) applies where a determination under section 28G (determination of amount notionally chargeable where no NRCGT return delivered) which has effect as a person's advance self-assessment is superseded by an advance self-assessment in an NRCGT return made and delivered by the person under section 12ZB. Any amount which is payable on account of capital gains tax, and any amount paid on account of capital gains tax which is repayable, by virtue of the supersession is to be payable or (as the case may be) repayable on or before the filing date for the return. “filing date”, in relation to an NRCGT return, has the meaning given by section 12ZB(8); For the meaning in this section of “NRCGT group” see section 288(1) of the 1992 Act. The provisions of the Taxes Acts as to the recovery of tax shall apply to an amount falling to be paid on account of tax in the same manner as they apply to an amount of tax. Section 59B (payment of income tax and capital gains tax) is amended as follows. In subsection (1)(b), after “59A” insert “ or 59AA ”. The reference in subsection (1)(b) to payments on account under section 59AA does not include any amounts already repaid under section 59AA(5). In section 107A (relevant trustees), in subsection (2)(b), after “59A” insert “ , 59AA ”. In section 118 (interpretation), in subsection (1), at the appropriate place insert— “NRCGT return” has the meaning given by section 12ZB; Schedule 3ZA (date by which payment to be made after amendment or correction of self-assessment) is amended as follows. In paragraph 1— in sub-paragraph (1), at the end insert “ or an advance self-assessment (see section 12ZE(1)) ”; in sub-paragraph (2), after “section” insert “ 59AA(2) or ”. In paragraph 2— in sub-paragraph (1), at the end insert “ or an amendment of an advance self-assessment under section 12ZK (amendment of NRCGT return by taxpayer) ”; in sub-paragraph (3), after “9B(3)” insert “ or 12ZN(3) ” and after “self-assessment” insert “ or advance self-assessment ”. In paragraph 3(1), after “9ZB” insert “ or 12ZL ” and after “trustee return” insert “ or NRCGT return ”. In paragraph 5(1)— after “amount of tax” insert “ or an amount on account of capital gains tax ”; after “self-assessment” insert “ or advance self-assessment ”; omit “personal or trustee”. In FA 2007, Schedule 24 (penalties for errors) is amended as follows. In paragraph 1, in the table in sub-paragraph (4), after the entry relating to accounts in connection with a partnership return insert— After paragraph 21B insert— In paragraphs 1(2) and 5 references to “tax” are to be interpreted as if amounts payable under section 59AA(2) of TMA 1970 (non-resident CGT disposals: payments on account of capital gains tax) were tax. In Schedule 36 to FA 2008 (information and inspection powers), after paragraph 21 insert— Where a person has delivered an NRCGT return with respect to a non-resident CGT disposal, a taxpayer notice may not be given for the purpose of checking the person's capital gains tax position as regards the matters dealt with in that return. Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply where, or to the extent that, any of conditions A to C is met. Condition A is that notice of enquiry has been given in respect of— the return, or a claim (or an amendment of a claim) made by the person in relation to the chargeable period, and the enquiry has not been completed. In sub-paragraph (3) “notice of enquiry” means a notice under section 12ZM of TMA 1970. Condition B is that an officer of Revenue and Customs has reason to suspect that— an amount that ought to have been assessed under section 12ZE of TMA 1970 as payable on account of the person's liability to capital gains tax for the tax year to which the return relates has not been so assessed by the filing date for the return, or an assessment under section 12ZE of TMA 1970 of the amount payable on account of P's liability to capital gains tax for the tax year to which the return relates has become insufficient. Condition C is that the notice is given for the purpose of obtaining any information or document that is also required for the purpose of checking that person's position as regards a tax other than capital gains tax. “NRCGT return” has the meaning given by section 12ZB of TMA 1970; “non-resident CGT disposal” has the meaning given by section 14B of TCGA 1992. In CTA 2009, in section 2 (charge to corporation tax), in subsection (2A), for the words from “under” to the end substitute under— section 2B of TCGA 1992 (companies etc chargeable to capital gains tax on ATED-related gains on relevant high value disposals), or section 14D or 188D of that Act (persons chargeable to capital gains tax on NRCGT gains on non-resident CGT disposals). In Schedule 55 to FA 2009 (penalty for failure to make returns etc), in the Table in paragraph 1, after item 2 insert— That Schedule, as amended by sub-paragraph (1), is taken to have come into force for the purposes of NRCGT returns on the date on which this Act is passed. The amendments made by this Schedule have effect in relation to disposals made on or after 6 April 2015. The Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 is amended as follows. Section 2C (“relevant high value disposal”) is amended as follows. In subsection (6), in the definition of “the relevant ownership period” for “6 April 2013” substitute “ 6 April in the relevant year ”. In that subsection, after that definition insert— “the relevant year” means— in Case 1 in paragraph 2 of Schedule 4ZZA, 2013; in Case 2 in that paragraph, 2015; in Case 3 in that paragraph, 2016; In subsection (7)(b), for “1 April 2013” substitute “ 1 April in the relevant year ”. Section 2D (CGT on ATED-related gains: the threshold amount) is amended as follows. In subsection (2) for “£2 million” substitute “ £1 million ”. In subsection (3) for “£2 million” substitute “ £1 million ”. In subsection (5) for “ “£2 million”” substitute “ “£1 million” ”. The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to disposals occurring in the tax year 2015-16. In subsection (2) for “£1 million” substitute “ £500,000 ”. In subsection (3) for “£1 million” substitute “ £500,000 ”. In subsection (5) for “ “£1 million”” substitute “ “£500,000” ”. The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to disposals occurring on or after 6 April 2016. In section 2E (restriction of losses), in subsection (3)— after “5 April 2013” insert “ etc ”, and for “post-April 2013” substitute “ post-commencement ”. For the italic heading before paragraph 2 substitute “ Assets held on 5 April 2013, 5 April 2015 or 5 April 2016: no paragraph 5 election ”. For paragraph 2 substitute— In Cases 1 to 3 below— paragraph 3 applies for the purposes of computing the gain or loss accruing to P which is ATED-related, and paragraph 4 applies for the purposes of computing the gain or loss accruing to P which is not ATED-related. Case 1 is that— the interest disposed of was held by P on 5 April 2013, and neither Case 2 nor Case 3 applies. Case 2 is that— the interest disposed of was held by P on 5 April 2015, Case 3 does not apply, and no relevant single dwelling interest was subject to ATED on one or more days in the period ending with 31 March 2015 during which P held the interest disposed of. Case 3 is that— the interest disposed of was held by P on 5 April 2016, and no relevant single dwelling interest was subject to ATED on one or more days in the period ending with 31 March 2016 during which P held the interest disposed of. “relevant single-dwelling interest” means the single-dwelling interest by reference to which Condition B in section 2C is met in relation to the relevant high value disposal, or, if Condition B is met by reference to more than one such interest, each of them; a relevant single dwelling interest is “subject to ATED” on a day if P— was within the charge to annual tax on enveloped dwellings with respect to that interest on that day, or would have been within that charge but for the day being “relievable” by virtue of any of the provisions mentioned in section 132 of the Finance Act 2013 (ATED: effect of reliefs). In paragraphs 3 and 4, “the relevant year” means— in relation to Case 1, 2013; in relation to Case 2, 2015; in relation to Case 3, 2016. Paragraph 3 is amended as follows. In sub-paragraph (1) for “post-April 2013” substitute “ post-commencement ”. In sub-paragraph (2)— for “post-April 2013” substitute “ post-commencement ”, and for “5 April 2013” substitute “ 5 April in the relevant year ”. In sub-paragraph (5), for “6 April 2013” substitute “ 6 April in the relevant year ”. Paragraph 4 is amended as follows. In sub-paragraph (1)— for “pre-April 2013” substitute “ pre-commencement ”, and for “post-April 2013”, in both places, substitute “ post-commencement ”. In sub-paragraph (4) for “post-April 2013” substitute “ post-commencement ”. In sub-paragraph (5) for “pre-April 2013” substitute “ pre-commencement ”. Paragraph 5 is amended as follows. In sub-paragraph (1) for “5 April 2013” substitute “ 5 April in the relevant year ”. In sub-paragraph (3) for “6 April 2013” substitute “ 6 April in the relevant year ”. For sub-paragraph (6) substitute— “relevant year” has the meaning given by paragraph 2. In the italic heading before paragraph 6, for “assets acquired after 5 April 2013” substitute “ or none of Cases 1 to 3 apply ”. In paragraph 6, for sub-paragraph (1)(b) substitute— none of Cases 1, 2 and 3 in paragraph 2 applies to the disposal. TCGA 1992 is amended in accordance with this Schedule. In section 222 (relief on disposal of private residence)— after subsection (6) insert— Where an individual has determined, by giving notice under subsection (5)(a), that a residence is the individual's main residence, that determination does not cease to be effective at any time by reason only of the fact that, at that time, another of the individual's residences is treated by section 222B(1) as not being occupied as a residence (or, having been so treated, is no longer so treated). in subsection (7), for “223” substitute “ 222A ”. After section 222 insert— an individual (“P”) makes a disposal of, or of an interest in— a dwelling-house, or part of a dwelling-house, which was at any time in P's period of ownership occupied by P as a residence, or land (as mentioned in section 222(1)(b)) which P had for P's own occupation and enjoyment with that residence as its garden or grounds, and the disposal is a non-resident CGT disposal (see section 14B). In the remainder of this section the residence concerned is referred to as “the dwelling-house”. So far as it is necessary for the purposes of section 222, P may determine, by a notice under this section, which of 2 or more residences (of which one is the dwelling-house) was P's main residence for any period within P's period of ownership of the dwelling-house. A notice under this section may vary, as respects any period within P's period of ownership of the dwelling-house, a notice previously given under section 222(5)(a). See also subsections (4) and (7). A notice under this section may not vary a notice previously given under section 222(5)(a) as respects any period for which the previous notice had the effect of determining whether or not a disposed of residence was P's main residence. In subsection (4) “disposed of residence” means one of P's residences which was disposed of (in whole or in part) before the date of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a). A notice under this section— must be given in the NRCGT return in respect of the disposal mentioned in subsection (1)(a), and may not subsequently be varied, whether by a notice under this section or section 222(5)(a). Where a notice under this section affects both P and an individual (“X”) who was, in the period to which the notice relates (“the relevant period”), P's spouse or civil partner living with P— in a case where each of P and X is required to make an NRCGT return in respect of the disposal of an interest in the dwelling-house, notice given by P under this section is effective as respects any part of the relevant period when P and X were living together as spouses or civil partners only if notice to the same effect is also given under this section by X in respect of that period; in any other case, notice given by P under this section is effective as respects any part of the relevant period when P and X were living together as spouses or civil partners only if it is accompanied by written notification from X agreeing to the terms of the notice in respect of that period. Nothing in subsection (2) affects the application of section 222(5) in relation to P. For the purposes of sections 222 to 226 the dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house mentioned in section 222(1) is treated as not being occupied as a residence by the individual so mentioned (“P”) at any time in P's period of ownership which falls within— a non-qualifying tax year, or a non-qualifying partial tax year. In the remainder of this section the dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house is referred to as “the dwelling-house”. Except where the disposal mentioned in section 222(1) is a non-resident CGT disposal, subsection (1) does not have effect in respect of any tax year or partial tax year before the tax year 2015-16. A tax year the whole of which falls within P's period of ownership is “a non-qualifying tax year” in relation to the dwelling-house if— neither P nor P's spouse or civil partner was resident for that tax year in the territory in which the dwelling-house is situated, and the day count test was not met by P with respect to the dwelling-house for that tax year (see section 222C). A partial tax year is “a non-qualifying partial tax year” in relation to the dwelling-house if— neither P nor P's spouse or civil partner was resident for the tax year in question in the territory in which the dwelling-house is situated, and the day count test was not met by P with respect to the dwelling-house for that partial tax year. Where part only of a tax year falls within P's period of ownership, that part is a “partial tax year” for the purposes of this section. For the purposes of this section an individual is resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom (“the overseas territory”) for a tax year (“year X”) in relation to which condition A or B is met. Condition A is that the individual is, in respect of a period or periods making up more than half of year X, liable to tax in the overseas territory under the law of that territory by reason of the individual's domicile or residence. Condition B is that the individual would be resident in the overseas territory for year X in accordance with the statutory residence test in Part 1 of Schedule 45 to the Finance Act 2013, if in Parts 1 and 2 of that Schedule— any reference to the United Kingdom (however expressed) were read as a reference to the overseas territory, “overseas” meant anywhere outside that territory, and in paragraph 26 (meaning of “work”), sub-paragraphs (2) to (4), (6) and (7) were disregarded. In applying the statutory residence test in accordance with subsection (8), any determination of whether— the individual was resident in the overseas territory for a tax year preceding year X, or another individual is resident in the overseas territory for year X, is to be made in accordance with the statutory residence test, as modified by subsection (8). Section 11(1)(a) (visiting forces etc) is to be disregarded in determining for the purposes of this section whether or not an individual is resident in the United Kingdom. Subsection (1) is subject to— section 222(8) (job-related accommodation), and section 223(3) (absence reliefs). This section explains how P meets the day count test (see section 222B) with respect to the dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house mentioned in section 222(1) for a full or partial tax year. P meets that test for a tax year with respect to the dwelling-house if, during that year, P spends at least 90 days in one or more qualifying houses. P meets that test for a partial tax year with respect to the dwelling-house if, during that partial tax year, P spends at least the relevant number of days in one or more qualifying houses. To find the relevant number of days for the purposes of subsection (3), multiply 90 days by the relevant fraction and round up the result to the nearest whole number of days if necessary. The relevant fraction is— “X” is the number of days in the partial tax year; “Y” is the number of days in the tax year. For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) the days need not be consecutive, and days spent in different qualifying houses may be aggregated. A day spent by P's spouse or civil partner in a dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house which is a qualifying house in relation to P counts as a day spent by P in the qualifying house (but no day is to be counted twice as a result of this subsection). For the purposes of this section, a day counts as a day spent by an individual in a qualifying house if— the individual is present at the house at the end of the day, or the individual— is present in the house for some period during the day, and the next day, has stayed overnight in the house. the dwelling-house is a qualifying house in relation to P, and any other dwelling-house or part of a dwelling-house which is situated in the same territory as the dwelling-house is a qualifying house in relation to P at any particular time if at that time any of the following has an interest in it— P, an individual who is P's spouse or civil partner at that time, and an individual who is P's spouse or civil partner at the time of disposal of the dwelling-house. In this section “partial tax year” has the meaning given by section 222B(5). Section 223 (amount of relief) is amended as follows. after “the purposes of” insert “ sections 222(5) and 222A and ”; for “was the individual's only or main residence” substitute “ were occupied by the individual as a residence ”. For subsection (7) substitute— In this section “period of ownership”— does not include any period before 31 March 1982, and where the whole or part of the gain to which section 222 applies is an NRCGT gain chargeable to capital gains tax by virtue of section 14D, does not include any period before 6 April 2015 (but see subsection (7A)). Paragraph (b) of the definition of “period of ownership” does not apply in a case where paragraph 9 of Schedule 4ZZB applies by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)(b) of that paragraph (the individual has made an election for the retrospective basis of computation to apply). In this section “period of absence” means a period during which the dwelling-house or the part of the dwelling-house was not occupied by the individual as a residence. After section 223 insert— the individual mentioned in section 223(1) (“P”) acquired the asset to which the gain mentioned in section 222(1) is attributable before 6 April 2015, and P's period of ownership for the purposes of section 223 begins on that date because of section 223(7)(b). Times before 6 April 2015 are to be ignored in determining whether or not condition A in section 223 is met in relation to a period of absence, unless P elects that this subsection is not to apply in relation to the period. An election under subsection (2)— must specify which day before 6 April 2015 P relies on in relation to the period of absence for the purpose of meeting condition A in section 223, and must be made in the NRCGT return in respect of the disposal. Where P has made an election under subsection (2), section 223 applies as if relevant prior periods of absence counted against the maximum periods (and maximum aggregate periods) specified in subsection (3)(a), (c) and (d) of that section. In relation to a maximum period (or maximum aggregate period) specified in paragraph (a), (c) or (d) of section 223(3), “relevant prior period of absence” means a period of absence which would have counted against that maximum period (or maximum aggregate period) if the bridge period were included in the period of ownership. In subsection (5) “the bridge period” means the period beginning with the day specified in the election and ending with 5 April 2015. In this section “period of absence” has the same meaning as in section 223. Section 225 (private residence occupied under terms of settlement) is amended as follows. The existing text becomes subsection (1). In that subsection— in the words before paragraph (a), after “person” insert “ (“B”) ”; in paragraph (a), for “the occupation of the dwelling-house or part of the dwelling-house, and” substitute “ the matters dealt with in subsection (2), ”; in paragraph (b), for “the person entitled to occupy the dwelling-house or part of the dwelling-house;” substitute “ B, and ”; the notice which may be given by the trustees under section 222A is effective only if it is accompanied by written notification from B agreeing to the terms of the notice; In sections 222 to 224, as applied by subsection (1), references to the individual, in relation to— the occupation of the dwelling-house or part of the dwelling-house, residence in a territory, or meeting the day count test, are to be taken as references to B. Section 225A (private residence held by personal representatives) is amended as follows. In subsection (5)— in paragraph (a), for the words from “the occupation” to the end substitute “ the matters dealt with in paragraph (aa), ”; after paragraph (a) insert— in relation to the occupation of the dwelling-house or part of the dwelling-house, residence in a territory, or meeting the day count test, references to the individual are to be taken as references to a qualifying individual, after paragraph (b) insert and the notice which may be given by the personal representatives under section 222A is effective only if it is accompanied by written notification from the individual or individuals entitled to occupy the dwelling-house or part of the dwelling-house agreeing to the terms of the notice. In subsection (5)(aa) “a qualifying individual” means an individual— who has a relevant entitlement, and by virtue of whom the first condition is met. In section 225B (disposals in connection with divorce etc), in subsection (4), after “222(5)” insert “ or 222A ”. In section 225E (disposals by disabled persons or persons in care homes etc), in subsection (6)(b), after “subsection (5) of that section” insert “ or under section 222A ”. Section 70DA is amended as follows. D is nil if— S is not required to bring a disposal value into account under this Part because of the transfer referred to in subsection (1)(a), and at any time before that transfer S or a linked person became owner of the plant or machinery without incurring either capital expenditure or qualifying revenue expenditure on its provision. After subsection (8) insert— Linked person”, in relation to plant or machinery, means a person— who owned the plant or machinery at any time before the transfer referred to in subsection (1)(a), and who was connected with S at any time between— the time when the person became owner of the plant or machinery, and the time of the transfer referred to in subsection (1)(a). Expenditure on the provision of plant or machinery is “qualifying revenue expenditure” if it is expenditure of a revenue nature— that is at least equal to the amount of expenditure that would reasonably be expected to have been incurred on the provision of the plant or machinery in a transaction between persons dealing with each other at arm's length in the open market, or that is incurred by the manufacturer of the plant or machinery and is at least equal to the amount that it would have been reasonable to expect to have been the normal cost of manufacturing the plant or machinery. The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to cases where the lease referred to in section 70DA(1)(b) of CAA 2001 is entered into on or after 26 February 2015. Section 218 is amended as follows. In subsection (1), for “(2) and” substitute “ (2), (2A) and ”. S is not required to bring a disposal value into account under this Part because of the relevant transaction, and at any time before that transaction S or a linked person became owner of the plant or machinery without incurring either capital expenditure or qualifying revenue expenditure on its provision. In subsection (3), for the words from the beginning to “transaction,” substitute “ Otherwise, ”. who owned the plant or machinery at any time before the relevant transaction, and the time of the relevant transaction. The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to expenditure of B's that is incurred on or after 26 February 2015. Section 229A is amended as follows. After subsection (9) insert— The amendments made by this paragraph have effect in relation to cases where the contract referred to in section 229A(1)(c) of CAA 2001 is entered into on or after 26 February 2015. Section 242 is amended as follows. In subsection (5), for the words from the beginning to “transaction,” substitute “ Otherwise, ”. omit paragraph (a), and in paragraph (b), for “the smallest amount under subsection (5)” substitute “ subsection (5) applies and the smallest amount under that subsection ”. Chapter 5 of Part 8 of CTA 2010 (ring fence expenditure supplement) is amended as follows. In section 307 (overview of Chapter), in subsection (5) for “6” substitute “ 10 ”. In section 309 (accounting periods), in subsection (4), for the words from “Chapter” to the end substitute Chapter— in relation to straddling periods (see sections 311, 324 and 327(4) to (7)), and in relation to accounting periods which begin before, but end on or after, 5 December 2013 (see sections 311(1C), 318A and 328A). Section 311 (limit on number of accounting periods for which supplement may be claimed) is amended as follows. In subsection (1) for “6” substitute “ 10 ”. After subsection (1) insert— “the initial 6 periods” means the first 6 accounting periods (in chronological order) for which the company claims supplement under this Chapter; “the additional 4 periods” means the 4 accounting periods after the initial 6 periods for which the company claims supplement under this Chapter. None of the additional 4 periods may be accounting periods beginning before 5 December 2013. But, where— a company has an accounting period which begins before 5 December 2013 and ends on or after that date, and that accounting period falls after the initial 6 accounting periods, so much of that accounting period as falls before 5 December 2013 and so much of it as falls on or after that date are treated as separate accounting periods for the purposes of this Chapter. In the heading of the section after “Limit on number” insert “ etc ”. In section 316 (the mixed pool of qualifying pre-commencement expenditure and supplement previously allowed), after subsection (5) insert— This section is subject to section 318A (adjustment of pool to remove pre-2013 expenditure after the initial 6 periods). In section 317 (reduction in respect of disposal receipts under CAA 2001), at the end insert— This section is subject to section 318A(5) (exclusion of deductible amounts in respect of pre-2013 expenditure when determining pre-commencement supplement for additional 4 periods). After section 318 insert— This section applies for the purposes of determining the amount of any pre-commencement supplement on any claim made by a company for supplement under this Chapter in respect of an accounting period which is one of the additional 4 periods. The pool which (under section 316) the company is to be taken to have had, at all times in the pre-commencement periods of the company, is to be taken to have been reduced at the time specified in subsection (4). The amount of the reduction is the sum of— the relevant amount (if any) which the company carries forward under Schedule 19B to ICTA, the total amount of qualifying pre-commencement expenditure allocated to the pool for pre-commencement periods beginning before 5 December 2013, and the total amount of the company's pre-commencement supplement allocated to the pool for pre-commencement periods beginning before that date. The time is— immediately after the last of the initial 6 periods, or if later, 5 December 2013. Subsection (3) of section 317 (reduction in respect of disposal receipts under CAA 2001) has effect as if the reference in paragraph (a) of that subsection to “all such events” did not include events occurring in relation to an asset representing expenditure incurred before 5 December 2013. Where a company has a pre-commencement period (“the straddling 2013 period”) which begins before 5 December 2013 and ends on or after that date, for the purposes of making a reduction under this section— so much of the straddling 2013 period as falls before 5 December 2013 (“the pre-2013 period”), and so much of that period as falls on or after that date (“the post-2013 period”), are to be treated as separate pre-commencement periods. Accordingly, any amount of qualifying pre-commencement expenditure, and any amount of the company's pre-commencement supplement, allocated to the pool for the straddling 2013 period is to be— apportioned between the pre-2013 period and the post-2013 period in proportion to the number of days in each, and treated as allocated to the pool in question for the period in question (rather than the straddling 2013 period). If the basis of the apportionment in subsection (7) would work unjustly or unreasonably in the company's case, the company may elect for the apportionment to be made on another basis that is just and reasonable and specified in the election. Section 326 (the ring fence pool) is amended as follows. In subsection (3), for “the following provisions of this Chapter” substitute “ sections 327 and 328 ”. In subsection (4), after “made”, in the first place, insert “ under section 327 or 328 ”. This section is subject to section 328A (adjustment of pool to remove pre-2013 losses after the initial 6 periods). In section 327 (reductions in respect of utilised ring fence losses), after subsection (3) insert— Subsection (3) is subject to section 328A(11). After section 328 insert— This section applies for the purposes of determining the amount of any post-commencement supplement on any claim in respect of any of the additional 4 periods. The ring fence pool is to be taken to have been reduced at the time specified in subsection (6). The amount of the reduction is the amount of the total pre-2013 pool reduced (but not below nil) by the amount of the total pre-2013 reduction. “The amount of the total pre-2013 pool” means the sum of— the carried forward qualifying Schedule 19B amount (within the meaning of section 326(5)) which is in the pool at the time specified in subsection (6) (if any), the total amount of the company's ring fence losses added to the pool in post-commencement periods beginning before 5 December 2013, if the commencement period begins on or after 5 December 2013, so much of any ring fence loss added to the pool in that period as does not exceed the sum of— any pre-commencement expenditure added to the pool in a pre-commencement period ending before 5 December 2013, and any pre-commencement supplement allowed in respect of such a pre-commencement period, and the total amount of the company's post-commencement supplement added to the pool in post-commencement periods beginning before that date. “The amount of the total pre-2013 reduction” means the total amount of the reductions in the ring fence pool falling to be made under section 327 or 328 in post-commencement periods beginning before the time specified in subsection (6). immediately after the last of the 6 initial periods, or The amount (if any) in the non-qualifying pool under section 325(3) is reduced to nil (and so ceases to exist under section 325(4)).

Section 318A(6) (“the straddling 2013 period”) applies for the purposes of making a reduction under this section as it applies for the purposes of making a reduction under section 318A. any ring fence loss of the company added to the pool in the straddling 2013 period is to be apportioned between the pre-2013 period and the post-2013 period in proportion to the number of days in each and treated as allocated to the pool for the period in question; any amount of the company's post-commencement supplement allocated to the pool for the straddling period is to be apportioned between the pre-2013 period and the post-2013 period in proportion to the number of days in each and treated as allocated to the pool for the period in question; the total amount of reductions in the ring fence pool falling to be made in the straddling period is apportioned between the pre-2013 period and the post-2013 period in proportion to the number of days in each and treated as a reduction falling to be made in the period in question. If the basis of the apportionment in subsection (9)(a), (b) or (c) would work unjustly or unreasonably in the company's case, the company may elect for the apportionment to be made on another basis that is just and reasonable and specified in the election. Once a reduction in the pool has been made under this section— nothing in section 327 applies to require a reduction in the pool in respect of the use under section 45 of a loss if and to the extent that the loss is represented by the reduction made under this section, and if and to the extent that losses are represented by the reduction they are to be used under section 45 to reduce any profits of a post-commencement period before ring fence losses of the company the use of which would trigger a reduction of the ring fence pool under section 327. In section 270 of CTA 2010 (overview of Part 8) omit subsection (5A). Schedule 4 to CTA 2010 (index of defined expressions) is amended as follows. The following definitions are inserted at the appropriate places— The following definitions are omitted— In Part 8 of CTA 2010, Chapter 5A (extended ring fence expenditure supplement for onshore activities) is repealed. Accordingly, section 69 of and Schedule 14 to FA 2014 are also repealed. The amendments made by this Schedule have effect in relation to accounting periods ending on or after 5 December 2013. Part 8 of CTA 2010 (oil activities) is amended in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3. After Chapter 6 insert— This Chapter sets out how relief for certain expenditure incurred in relation to a qualifying oil field is given by way of reduction of a company's adjusted ring fence profits. The Chapter includes provision about— the oil fields that are qualifying oil fields (section 332B); the expenditure that is investment expenditure (section 332BA); the generation of allowance by the incurring of relievable investment expenditure in relation to a qualifying oil field (sections 332C and 332CA); restrictions on the expenditure that is relievable (sections 332D to 332DC); how allowance is activated by relevant income from the same oil field (sections 332F to 332FC and 332H to 332HB) in order to be available for reducing adjusted ring fence profits (sections 332E and 332EA); the division of an accounting period into reference periods where a company has different shares of the equity in a qualifying oil field at different times in the period (section 332G); the transfer of allowance where shares of the equity in a qualifying oil field are disposed of (sections 332I to 332IB). For provision about the conversion of field allowance under Chapter 7 (as it had effect before 1 April 2015) into allowance under this Chapter, see paragraphs 7 and 8 of Schedule 12 to FA 2015. In this Chapter “qualifying oil field” means an oil field that is not wholly or partly included in a cluster area (see section 356JD). For the purposes of this Chapter, expenditure incurred by a company is “investment” expenditure only if it is— capital expenditure, or expenditure of such other description as may be prescribed by the Treasury by regulations. Regulations under subsection (1)(b) may provide for any of the provisions of the regulations to have effect in relation to expenditure incurred before the regulations are made. But subsection (2) does not apply to any provision of amending or revoking regulations which has the effect that expenditure of any description ceases to be investment expenditure. Regulations under subsection (1)(b) may— make transitional provision and savings. Subsection (2) applies where a company— is a participator in a qualifying oil field, and incurs any relievable investment expenditure on or after 1 April 2015 in relation to the oil field. The company is to hold an amount of allowance equal to 62.5% of the amount of the expenditure. Allowance held under this Chapter is called “investment allowance”. For the purposes of this section investment expenditure incurred by a company is “relievable” only if, and so far as, it is incurred for the purposes of oil-related activities (see section 274). Subsections (1) to (3) are subject to— section 332D (which prevents expenditure on the acquisition of an asset from being relievable in certain circumstances), section 332DA (which restricts relievable expenditure in relation to an oil field that previously qualified for a field allowance under Chapter 7 as a new oil field), section 332DB (which restricts relievable expenditure in relation to a project by reference to which an oil field previously qualified for a field allowance under Chapter 7 as an additionally-developed oil field), and section 332DC (which prevents certain expenditure from being relievable if it relates to an oil field in respect of which onshore allowance may be obtained under Chapter 8). Investment allowance is said in this Chapter to be “generated” at the time when the investment expenditure is incurred (see section 332K) and is referred to as being generated— “by” the company concerned; “in” the qualifying oil field concerned. investment expenditure is incurred only partly for the purposes of oil-related activities, or the oil-related activities for the purposes of which investment expenditure is incurred are carried on only partly in relation to a particular qualifying oil field, the expenditure is to be attributed to the activities or field concerned on a just and reasonable basis. This section applies to expenditure incurred by a company on or after 1 April 2015 for the purposes of oil-related activities if or to the extent that the following conditions are met. The conditions are— that the expenditure was in respect of an area, that, at the time the expenditure was incurred, the area had not been determined under Schedule 1 to OTA 1975 to be an oil field, that the area is subsequently determined under that Schedule to be an oil field, and that the company is a licensee in the oil field. Where this section applies in relation to an amount of expenditure, that amount is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as incurred by the company— in relation to the oil field, and at the time when the area is determined under Schedule 1 to OTA 1975 to be an oil field. Investment expenditure incurred by a company (“the acquiring company”) on the acquisition of an asset is not relievable expenditure for the purposes of section 332C if either of the disqualifying conditions in this section applies to the asset. The first disqualifying condition is that investment expenditure incurred before the acquisition, by the acquiring company or another company, in acquiring, bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset was relievable under section 332C. The second disqualifying condition is that— the asset— is the whole or part of the equity in a qualifying oil field, or is acquired in connection with a transfer to the acquiring company of the whole or part of the equity in a qualifying oil field, expenditure was incurred before the acquisition, by the acquiring company or another company, in acquiring, bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset, and any of that expenditure— related to the qualifying oil field, and would have been relievable under section 332C if this Chapter had been fully in force and had applied to expenditure incurred at that time. For the purposes of subsection (3)(a)(ii) it does not matter whether the asset is acquired at the time of the transfer. This section applies to expenditure which— is incurred by a company in relation to an oil field that was for the purposes of Chapter 7 a new oil field with an authorisation day before 1 January 2016, would in the absence of this section be relievable under section 332C, and is not excluded from this section by— subsection (5) (material completion), subsection (7) (company without share of equity), or subsection (8) (additionally-developed oil fields). In the following provisions of this section, expenditure to which this section applies is referred to as “relevant expenditure”. Relevant expenditure incurred by a company on any day (“the relevant day”) is not relievable expenditure for the purposes of section 332C except— if immediately before the relevant day the cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the company's share of the equity in the oil field (see subsection (3)) exceeds the relevant field threshold (see subsection (4)), or to the extent that, in a case not within paragraph (a), the amount of relevant expenditure incurred on the relevant day, when added to that cumulative total, exceeds the relevant field threshold. The “cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the company's share of the equity in the oil field” at any time is the total amount of relevant expenditure which is incurred by the company during the period beginning with the start date and ending with that time, but this is subject to sections 332IA(3) and 332IB(4) (which relate to the disposal and acquisition of equity in an oil field). In this subsection “the start date” means 1 April 2015 or, if later, the authorisation day (within the meaning of Chapter 7) for the field. The “relevant field threshold” is an amount given by the formula— F is the total field allowance for the oil field, as originally determined under section 356 for the purposes of Chapter 7; E is the company's share of the equity in the oil field at the end of the relevant day. This section does not apply to expenditure which is incurred on or after the day determined by the Secretary of State as that on which the relevant project was materially completed. “The relevant project” means— in a case that fell within section 351(1)(a), the development described in the field development plan for the field, and in a case that fell within section 351(1)(b) or (c), the programme of development for the field. This section does not apply to expenditure incurred by a company if— at the time when the expenditure is incurred, the company is not a licensee in the oil field, and the expenditure is incurred in making an asset available in a way which gives rise to tariff receipts (as defined by section 15(3) of the Oil Taxation Act 1983) or tax-exempt tariffing receipts (as defined by section 6A(2) of that Act). This section does not apply to expenditure to which section 332DB applies. is incurred by a company in relation to a project by reference to which an oil field was immediately before 1 April 2015 an additionally-developed oil field for the purposes of Chapter 7, is not excluded from this section by subsection (5) (material completion) or subsection (6) (company without share of project-related reserves). Relevant expenditure incurred by a company in relation to a project on any day (“the relevant day”) is not relievable expenditure for the purposes of section 332C except— if immediately before the relevant day the cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the company's share of project-related reserves (see subsection (3)) exceeds the relevant project threshold (see subsection (4)), or to the extent that, in a case not within paragraph (a), the amount of relevant expenditure incurred on the relevant day, when added to that cumulative total, exceeds the relevant project threshold. The “cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the company's share of project-related reserves” at any time is the total amount of relevant expenditure which is incurred by the company during the period beginning with 1 April 2015 and ending with that time, but this is subject to sections 332IA(5) and 332IB(6) (which relate to the disposal and acquisition of shares in project-related reserves). The “relevant project threshold” is an amount given by the formula— F is the total field allowance for the oil field in relation to the project, as originally determined under section 356A for the purposes of Chapter 7; E is the company's share of project-related reserves at the end of the relevant day. This section does not apply to expenditure which is incurred on or after the day determined by the Secretary of State as that on which the project was materially completed. the company does not, at the time when the expenditure is incurred, hold a share of project-related reserves, and In this section “project-related reserves”, in relation to a project and an oil field, means the additional reserves of oil that the oil field has as a result of the project. This section applies to investment expenditure which is incurred— for the purposes of onshore oil-related activities in respect of an oil field which is a qualifying site within the meaning of section 356C (generation of onshore allowance), and on a day at the beginning of which neither of the disqualifying conditions in section 356CA (disqualifying conditions for section 356C(4)(b)) is met. Expenditure to which this section applies is not relievable expenditure for the purposes of section 332C. In this section “onshore oil-related activities” has the same meaning as in Chapter 8 (see section 356BA). A company's adjusted ring fence profits for an accounting period are to be reduced by the cumulative total amount of activated allowance for the accounting period (but are not to be reduced below zero). In relation to a company and an accounting period, the “cumulative total amount of activated allowance” is— A is the total of any amounts of activated allowance the company has, for any qualifying oil fields, for the accounting period (see section 332F(2)) or for reference periods within the accounting period (see section 332H(1)), and C is any amount carried forward to the period under section 332EA. This section applies where, in the case of a company and an accounting period, the cumulative total amount of activated allowance (see section 332E(2)) is greater than the adjusted ring fence profits. The difference is carried forward to the next accounting period. for the whole or part of an accounting period, a company is a licensee in a qualifying oil field, the accounting period is not divided into reference periods (see section 332G), the company holds, for the accounting period and the qualifying oil field, a closing balance of unactivated allowance (see section 332FA) which is greater than zero, and the company has relevant income from the qualifying oil field for the accounting period. The amount of activated allowance the company has for that accounting period and that qualifying oil field is the smallest of— the closing balance of unactivated allowance held for the accounting period and the oil field; the company's relevant income from that oil field for that accounting period; in a case where section 332FB applies, the relevant activation limit for the accounting period and the oil field (see subsection (2) of that section). In this Chapter “relevant income”, in relation to a qualifying oil field and an accounting period of a company, means production income of the company from any oil extraction activities carried on in that oil field that is taken into account in calculating the company's adjusted ring fence profits for the accounting period. The closing balance of unactivated allowance held by a company for an accounting period and a qualifying oil field is— P is the amount of investment allowance generated by the company in the qualifying oil field in the accounting period (including any amount treated under section 332IB(1) as generated by the company in that field in that accounting period); Q is any amount carried forward from an immediately preceding accounting period under section 332FC(1) or from an immediately preceding reference period under section 332HB(1). This section applies to a company for an accounting period in relation to an oil field if— immediately before 1 April 2015 the oil field was an additionally-developed oil field for the purposes of Chapter 7 as a result of a project that fell within section 349A(1), and the project is not an excluded project (see subsection (3)). For the purposes of section 332F(2)(c), the “relevant activation limit” for the accounting period and the oil field is the amount that would be the closing balance of unactivated allowance held by the company for the accounting period if paragraph 7(3) of Schedule 12 to FA 2015 (conversion of unactivated field allowance) had never applied to any allowance attributable to the project. The project is an “excluded” project if condition A or condition B is met. a substantial amount of work has been done in relation to the project, and the accounting period begins on or after the first day of the year of expected first production for the project. The “year of expected first production” for the project is the year that was notified to the Secretary of State, on or before the day on which the project was authorised by the Secretary of State, as the calendar year in which additional reserves of oil were expected to be first won from the field as a result of the project. Condition B is that the accounting period begins on or after the day determined under section 332DB(5) as that on which the project was materially completed. If, in the case of an accounting period of a company and a qualifying oil field, the amount given by subsection (2) is greater than zero, that amount is treated as investment allowance held by the company for that oil field for the next period (and is treated as held with effect from the beginning of that period). The amount is— U is the closing balance of unactivated allowance held for the accounting period and the qualifying oil field (see section 332FA); A is the amount of activated allowance that the company has for the accounting period and the qualifying oil field (see section 332F(2)); T is any amount that is required by section 332IA(1) (reduction of allowance if equity disposed of) to be deducted in connection with a disposal or disposals made on the day following the end of the accounting period. If the accounting period is followed by a reference period of the company belonging to that qualifying oil field (see section 332G), “the next period” means that period. If subsection (3) does not apply “the next period” means the next accounting period of the company. a company is a licensee in a qualifying oil field for the whole or part of an accounting period, and the company has different shares of the equity in the field on different days in the accounting period. For the purposes of this Chapter, the accounting period is to be divided into as many consecutive periods (called “reference periods”) as are necessary to secure that— a reference period begins with the first day of the accounting period, a reference period begins with the date of each disposal or acquisition of a share of the equity in the qualifying oil field that is made by the company in that accounting period (not including acquisitions or disposals made on the first day of the accounting period), and a reference period ends with the last day of the accounting period. Each such reference period “belongs to” the qualifying oil field concerned. The amount (if any) of activated allowance that a company has for a qualifying oil field for a reference period is the smallest of the following— the total amount of unactivated allowance that is attributable to the reference period and the oil field (see section 332HA); the company's relevant income from the oil field for the reference period (see subsection (2)); in a case where section 332FB (activation limit applying in case of certain fields) applies, the relevant activation limit for the reference period and the oil field (see subsection (3)). The company's relevant income from the oil field for the reference period is so much of the company's relevant income from the oil field for the accounting period (see section 332F(3)) as arises in the reference period. If section 332FB (activation limit applying in case of certain fields) applies in relation to the oil field for the accounting period in which the reference period falls, the “relevant activation limit” for the reference period and the oil field is the amount that would be the total amount of unactivated allowance attributable to the reference period and the oil field if paragraph 7(3) of Schedule 12 to FA 2015 (conversion of unactivated field allowance) had never applied to any allowance attributable to the project in question. For the purposes of section 332H(1)(a), the total amount of unactivated allowance attributable to a reference period and a qualifying oil field is— P is the amount of allowance generated by the company in the reference period in the oil field (including any amount treated under section 332IB(1) as generated by the company in that oil field in that reference period); Q is the amount given by subsection (2) or (3). Where the reference period is not immediately preceded by another reference period but is preceded by an accounting period of the company, Q is equal to the amount (if any) that is to be carried forward from that preceding accounting period under section 332FC(1). Where the reference period is immediately preceded by another reference period, Q is equal to the amount (if any) carried forward under section 332HB(1). If, in the case of a reference period (“RP1”) of a company, the amount given by subsection (2) is greater than zero, that amount is treated as investment allowance held by the company for the qualifying oil field for the next period (and is treated as held with effect from the beginning of that period). U is the total amount of unactivated allowance attributable to the reference period and the qualifying oil field (see section 332HA(1)); A is the amount of activated allowance that the company has for the qualifying oil field for the reference period (see section 332H(1)); T is any amount that is required by section 332IA(1) (reduction of allowance if equity disposed of) to be deducted in connection with a disposal or disposals made on the day following the end of the reference period. If RP1 is immediately followed by another reference period of the company (belonging to the same qualifying oil field), “the next period” means that reference period. If subsection (3) does not apply, “the next period” means the next accounting period of the company. Sections 332IA and 332IB apply where— a company (“the transferor”) disposes of the whole or part of its share of the equity in a qualifying oil field, and one or more of the following conditions is met. The “unactivated allowance condition” is that immediately before the disposal the transferor holds unactivated investment allowance for the oil field. The “section 332DA expenditure condition” is that— immediately before the disposal the company has for the purposes of section 332DA (restriction where field qualified for field allowance as new field) a cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to its share of the equity in the oil field, and the date of the disposal falls before any date determined under section 332DA(5) (material completion). The “section 332DB expenditure condition” is that— immediately before the disposal the company has for the purposes of section 332DB (restriction where project in additionally-developed field qualified for field allowance) a cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to its share of project-related reserves in relation to the oil field, and the date of the disposal falls before any date determined under section 332DB(5) (material completion). In sections 332IA and 332IB— each of the companies to which a share of the equity is disposed of is referred to as “a transferee”, and references to conditions are to be read in accordance with this section. If the unactivated allowance condition is met, the following amount is to be deducted in calculating the total amount of unactivated investment allowance attributable to the qualifying oil field concerned that is to be carried forward under section 332FC or 332HB from an accounting period or reference period of the transferor— U and A are— in the case of a disposal made on the day following the end of an accounting period, the same as in section 332FC(2) (in its application to that period), or in the case of a disposal made on the day following the end of a reference period, the same as in section 332HB(2) (in its application to that period); E1 is the transferor's share of the equity in the qualifying oil field immediately before the disposal; E2 is the transferor's share of the equity in the qualifying oil field immediately after the disposal. Subsection (3) applies if the section 332DA expenditure condition is met. As from the beginning of the accounting period or reference period that begins with the day on which the disposal is made, the following amount is to be deducted in calculating for the purposes of section 332DA the cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the transferor's share of the equity in the oil field— X is the cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the transferor's share of the equity in the oil field (for the purposes of section 332DA), determined immediately before the disposal; E1 and E2 have the same meaning as in subsection (1). Subsection (5) applies if the section 332DB expenditure condition is met. As from the beginning of the accounting period or reference period that begins with the day on which the disposal is made, the following amount is to be deducted in calculating for the purposes of section 332DB the cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the transferor's share of project-related reserves— X is the cumulative total of relevant expenditure attributable to the transferor's share of project-related reserves (for the purposes of section 332DB), determined immediately before the disposal; E1 is the transferor's share, immediately before the disposal, of the additional reserves of oil that the oil field has as a result of the project; E2 is the transferor's share, immediately after the disposal, of the additional reserves of oil that the oil field has as a result of the project. If the unactivated allowance condition is met, a transferee is treated as generating in the qualifying oil field concerned, at the beginning of the reference period or accounting period of the transferee that begins with the day on which the disposal is made, investment allowance of the amount given by subsection (2). R is the amount determined for the purposes of the deduction under section 332IA(1); E3 is the share of the equity in the qualifying oil field that the transferee has acquired from the transferor; E1 and E2 are the same as in section 332IA(1). Subsection (4) applies if the section 332DA expenditure condition is met. A transferee is treated for the purposes of section 332DA(3) as having incurred in respect of the qualifying oil field, at the beginning of the reference period or accounting period of the transferee that begins with the day on which the disposal is made, expenditure of the following amount— R is the amount determined for the purposes of the deduction under section 332IA(3); E1, E2 and E3 have the same meaning as in subsection (2). Subsection (6) applies if the section 332DB expenditure condition is met. A transferee is treated for the purposes of section 332DB(3) as having incurred in respect of the project, at the beginning of the reference period or accounting period of the transferee that begins with the day on which the disposal is made, expenditure of the following amount— R is the amount determined for the purposes of the deduction under section 332IA(5); E3 is the share of the project-related reserves that the transferee has acquired from the transferor; E1 and E2 have the same meaning as in section 332IA(5). In subsection (6) “project-related reserves” means the additional reserves of oil that the oil field has as a result of the project. This section applies if there is any alteration in a company's adjusted ring fence profits for an accounting period after this Chapter has effect in relation to the profits. Any necessary adjustments to the operation of this Chapter (whether in relation to the profits or otherwise) are to be made (including any necessary adjustments to the effect of section 332E on the profits or to the calculation of the amount to be carried forward under section 332EA). The Treasury may by regulations substitute a different percentage for the percentage that is at any time specified in any of the following provisions— section 332C(2) (calculation of allowance as a percentage of investment expenditure); section 332DA(4) (calculation of relevant field threshold in relation to former new field); section 332DB(4) (calculation of relevant project threshold in relation to former additionally-developed field). Regulations under subsection (1) may include transitional provision. Section 5 of CAA 2001 (when capital expenditure is incurred) applies for the purposes of this Chapter as for the purposes of that Act. Regulations under section 332BA(1)(b) may make provision about when any expenditure that is investment expenditure as a result of the regulations is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as incurred. This section is subject to section 332CA(3). In this Chapter (except where otherwise specified)— “adjusted ring fence profits”, in relation to a company and an accounting period, is to be read in accordance with section 330ZA; “cumulative total amount of activated allowance” has the meaning given by section 332E(2); “investment allowance” has the meaning given by section 332C(2); “licence” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (see section 12(1) of that Act); “licensee” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975; “relevant income”, in relation to a qualifying oil field and an accounting period, has the meaning given by section 332F(3). Chapter 7 (reduction of supplementary charge for eligible oil fields) is omitted. In this Part of this Schedule, the following expressions have the same meaning as in Chapter 7 of Part 8 of CTA 2010— “additionally-developed oil field”; “authorisation day”; “eligible oil field”; “new oil field”. The amendment made by paragraph 2 has effect in relation to accounting periods ending on or after 1 April 2015. The amendment made by paragraph 3 has effect— in relation to projects authorised as mentioned in section 349A(1)(a) of CTA 2010 on or after 1 April 2015 in additionally-developed oil fields, in relation to new oil fields whose authorisation day is on or after 1 January 2016, and in the case of— projects authorised as mentioned in section 349A(1)(a) of CTA 2010 before 1 April 2015 in additionally-developed oil fields, or new oil fields whose authorisation day is before 1 January 2016, in relation to accounting periods ending on or after 1 April 2015. But sub-paragraph (1)(c) is subject to paragraphs 7 and 8 (which relate to field allowance under Chapter 7 of Part 8 of CTA 2010). This paragraph applies if, in the absence of this Schedule, a company would hold a field allowance for an eligible oil field as a result of section 337 or 347(2) of CTA 2010 immediately before the relevant date. “The relevant date” is— in relation to a new oil field whose authorisation day is on or before 1 April 2015, 1 April 2015; in relation to an additionally-developed oil field, 1 April 2015; in relation to a new oil field whose authorisation day is after 1 April 2015 but before 1 January 2016, the authorisation day. The unactivated amount of field allowance held by the company for the oil field immediately before the relevant date, as determined under section 339 of CTA 2010, is to be treated for the purposes of Chapter 6A of Part 8 of CTA 2010 (inserted by paragraph 2) as an amount of unactivated investment allowance generated by the company in the oil field in the relevant period. “The relevant period” is— the accounting period in which the relevant date falls, or where the company has different shares of the equity in the oil field on different days in that accounting period, the reference period (within the meaning of Chapter 6A of Part 8 of CTA 2010) in which the relevant date falls. This paragraph applies if, in the absence of this Schedule, a company would under section 335 or 336 of CTA 2010 carry all or part of a pool of field allowances into the accounting period in which 1 April 2015 falls (“the commencement period”). The amount that would be carried into that accounting period is to be treated for the purposes of Chapter 6A of Part 8 of CTA 2010 (inserted by paragraph 2) as an amount of activated investment allowance carried forward to the commencement period under section 332EA of that Act. Part 8 of CTA 2010 (oil activities) is amended in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 4. After Chapter 8 insert— This Chapter sets out how relief for certain expenditure incurred in relation to a cluster area is given by way of reduction of a company's adjusted ring fence profits. the determination of cluster areas (sections 356JD and 356JDA); the meaning of investment expenditure (section 356JE); the generation of allowance by the incurring of relievable investment expenditure in relation to a cluster area (section 356JF); how allowance is activated by relevant income from the same cluster area (sections 356JH to 356JHB and 356JJ to 356JJB) in order to be available for reducing adjusted ring fence profits (sections 356JG and 356JGA); the division of an accounting period into reference periods where a company has different shares of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area at different times in the period (section 356JI); the transfer of allowance where shares of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area are disposed of (sections 356JK to 356JKB); elections to treat allowance attributable to an unlicensed part of a cluster area as if it were attributable to a licensed area or sub-area in the cluster area (section 356JL). In this Part “cluster area” means an offshore area which the Secretary of State determines to be a cluster area. A cluster area is treated as not including any previously authorised oil field (or any part of such an oil field) (see section 356JDA). An area is “offshore” for the purposes of this section if the whole of it lies on the seaward side of the baselines from which the territorial sea of the United Kingdom is measured. Before determining an area to be a cluster area the Secretary of State must— give written notice of the proposed determination to every person who is a licensee in respect of a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in the proposed cluster area and to any other licensee whose interests appear to the Secretary of State to be affected, and publish a notice of the proposed determination on a website that is, and indicates that it is, kept by or on behalf of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State must consider any representations made in writing and within 30 days of the date of the publication of the notice under subsection (4)(b) (or, in the case of representations made by a person to whom notice is given under subsection (4)(a), within 30 days of receipt of the notice, if later). A determination under this section— has effect from the day on which it is published, may be in any form the Secretary of State thinks appropriate, and must assign to the cluster area an identifying number or other designation. After making a determination the Secretary of State must— give written notice of the determination to every person who is a licensee in respect of a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in the cluster area and any other person to whom notice of the proposed determination was given; publish a notice of the determination on a website that is, and indicates that it is, kept by or on behalf of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may vary or revoke a determination made under this section, and subsections (4), (5), (6)(a) and (b) and (7) are to apply as if the variation or revocation were a new determination. In section 356JD “previously authorised oil field”, in relation to a cluster area, means an oil field, other than a decommissioned oil field, whose development (in whole or in part) was authorised for the first time before the relevant day. An oil field is a “decommissioned oil field” in relation to a cluster area if, immediately before the relevant day, all assets of the oil field which are relevant assets have been decommissioned. In this section, “relevant day”, in relation to an oil field and a cluster area, means the date of publication of the first determination, or variation of a determination, under section 356JD as a result of which the oil field is (ignoring section 356JD(2)) wholly or partly included in the cluster area. Sub-paragraphs (2) to (9) of paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 to OTA 1975 apply for the purpose of determining whether relevant assets of an oil field are decommissioned as they apply for the purpose of determining whether qualifying assets of a relevant area are decommissioned. For the purposes of this section, an asset is a relevant asset of an oil field if— it has at any time been a qualifying asset (within the meaning of the Oil Taxation Act 1983) in relation to any participator in the field, and it has at any time been used for the purpose of winning oil from the field. In this section references to authorisation of development of an oil field are to be interpreted in accordance with section 356IB. See also paragraph 5 of Schedule 13 to FA 2015, as a result of which certain proposed determinations made before the day on which that Act is passed are treated as made under section 356JD for the purposes of this Chapter. is a licensee in a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in a cluster area, and incurs any relievable investment expenditure on or after 3 December 2014 in relation to the cluster area. Allowance held under this Chapter is called “cluster area allowance”. Subsections (1) to (3) are subject to section 356JFA (which prevents expenditure on the acquisition of an asset from being relievable in certain circumstances). Cluster area allowance is said in this Chapter to be “generated” at the time when the investment expenditure is incurred (see section 356JN) and is referred to as being generated— “in” the cluster area concerned. the oil-related activities for the purposes of which investment expenditure is incurred are carried on only partly in relation to a particular cluster area, the expenditure is to be attributed to the activities or area concerned on a just and reasonable basis. Investment expenditure incurred by a company (“the acquiring company”) on the acquisition of an asset is not relievable expenditure for the purposes of section 356JF if either of the disqualifying conditions in this section applies to the asset. The first disqualifying condition is that investment expenditure incurred before the acquisition, by the acquiring company or another company, in acquiring, bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset was relievable under section 356JF. is the whole or part of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area, or is acquired in connection with a transfer to the acquiring company of the whole or part of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area, expenditure was incurred, at any time before the acquisition, by the acquiring company or another company, in acquiring, bringing into existence or enhancing the value of the asset, and related to the cluster area, and would have been relievable under section 356JF if this Chapter had applied to expenditure incurred at that time. For the purposes of subsection (3)(a)(ii), it does not matter whether the asset is acquired at the time of the transfer. A is the total of any amounts of activated allowance the company has, for any cluster areas, for the accounting period (see section 356JH(2)) or for reference periods within the accounting period (see section 356JJ(1)), and C is any amount carried forward to the period under section 356JGA. This section applies where, in the case of a company and an accounting period, the cumulative total amount of activated allowance (see section 356JG(2)) is greater than the adjusted ring fence profits. for the whole or part of an accounting period, a company is a licensee in a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in a cluster area, the accounting period is not divided into reference periods (see section 356JI), the company holds, for the accounting period and the cluster area, a closing balance of unactivated allowance (see section 356JHA) which is greater than zero, and the company has relevant income from the cluster area for the accounting period. The amount of activated allowance the company has for that accounting period and that cluster area is the smaller of— the closing balance of unactivated allowance held for the accounting period and the cluster area; the company's relevant income for that accounting period from that cluster area. In this Chapter “relevant income”, in relation to a cluster area and an accounting period of a company, means production income of the company from any oil extraction activities carried on in that area that is taken into account in calculating the company's adjusted ring fence profits for the accounting period. The closing balance of unactivated allowance held by a company for an accounting period and a cluster area is— P is the amount of cluster area allowance generated by the company in the cluster area in the accounting period (including any amount treated under section 356JKB(1) as generated by the company in that cluster area in that accounting period); Q is any amount carried forward from an immediately preceding accounting period under section 356JHB(1) or from an immediately preceding reference period under section 356JJB(1). If, in the case of an accounting period of a company and a cluster area, the amount given by subsection (2) is greater than zero, that amount is treated as cluster area allowance held by the company for that cluster area for the next period (and is treated as held with effect from the beginning of that period). U is the closing balance of unactivated allowance held for the accounting period and the cluster area; A is the amount of activated allowance that the company has for the accounting period and the cluster area (see section 356JH(2)); T is the sum of any amounts transferred by the company under section 356JK in connection with a disposal or disposals made on the day following the end of the accounting period. If the accounting period is followed by a reference period of the company belonging to that cluster area (see section 356JI), “the next period” means that period. a company is a licensee for the whole or part of an accounting period in one or more licensed areas or sub-areas (“the relevant areas”) which are wholly or partly included in a cluster area, and in the case of at least one of the relevant areas, the company has different shares of the equity in the area on different days in the accounting period. a reference period begins with the date of each disposal or acquisition of a share of the equity in any of the relevant areas that is made by the company in that accounting period (not including acquisitions or disposals made on the first day of the accounting period), and Each such reference period “belongs to” the cluster area concerned. The amount (if any) of activated allowance that a company has for a cluster area for a reference period is the smaller of the following— the company's relevant income from the cluster area for the reference period; the total amount of unactivated allowance that is attributable to the reference period and the cluster area (see section 356JJA). The company's relevant income from the cluster area for the reference period is so much of the company's relevant income from the cluster area for the accounting period (see section 356JH(3)) as arises in the reference period. For the purposes of section 356JJ(1)(b), the total amount of unactivated allowance attributable to a reference period and a cluster area is— P is the amount of allowance generated by the company in the reference period in the cluster area (including any amount treated under section 356JKB(1) as generated by the company in that area in that reference period); Where the reference period is not immediately preceded by another reference period but is preceded by an accounting period of the company, Q is equal to the amount (if any) that is to be carried forward from that preceding accounting period under section 356JHB(1). Where the reference period is immediately preceded by another reference period, Q is equal to the amount (if any) carried forward under section 356JJB(1). If, in the case of a reference period (“RP1”) of a company, the amount given by subsection (2) is greater than zero, that amount is treated as cluster area allowance held by the company for the cluster area concerned for the next period. U is the total amount of unactivated allowance attributable to the reference period and the cluster area (see section 356JJA); A is the amount of activated allowance that the company has for the cluster area for the reference period (see section 356JJ); T is the sum of any amounts transferred by the company under section 356JK in connection with a disposal or disposals made on the day following the end of the reference period. If RP1 is immediately followed by another reference period of the company (belonging to the same cluster area), “the next period” means that reference period. Subsections (2) and (3) apply where— a company (“the transferor”) makes a disposal, on the day following the end of an accounting period or reference period, of the whole or part of its share of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area which is wholly or partly included in a cluster area (“the relevant cluster area”), and the maximum transferable amount is greater than zero. Each company to which a share of the equity is disposed of is referred to in this section as a “transferee”. The transferor may, by an election, transfer to the transferee (or transferees) a specified amount of cluster area allowance (greater than zero) which— is not less than the minimum transferable amount, and is not more than the maximum transferable amount. If the transferor does not make an election under subsection (2), the minimum transferable amount of cluster area allowance (if greater than zero) is transferred to the transferee (or transferees). must be made within the 60 days beginning with the date of the disposal, must— specify the date of the disposal and the amount of cluster area allowance transferred, and identify the transferees, and is irrevocable.

The minimum transferable amount is— G is so much of the total generated allowance for the relevant cluster area (see subsection (6)) as is attributable on a just and reasonable basis to the licensed area or sub-area mentioned in subsection (1); A is the total of any amounts of allowance which have, in relation to any accounting period or reference period of the transferor ending before the date of the disposal, been activated under section 356JH or 356JJ in relation to the relevant cluster area; E1 is the transferor's share of the equity in the licensed area or sub-area immediately before the disposal; E2 is the transferor's share of the equity in the licensed area or sub-area immediately after the disposal. In the definition of “G” in subsection (5), “the total generated allowance for the relevant cluster area” means the total of— all amounts of cluster area allowance generated by the transferor in that cluster area before the date of the disposal, and any amounts treated under section 356JKB(1) as so generated on the date of the disposal. The maximum transferable amount is— M is the smaller of— G (as defined in subsection (5)), and the transferor's pre-transfer total of unactivated allowance for the relevant cluster area; E1 and E2 have the same meaning as in subsection (5). In subsection (7) the transferor's “pre-transfer total of unactivated allowance for the relevant cluster area” means— P and Q are— if the disposal is made on the day following the end of an accounting period, the same as in section 356JHA (in its application to that period), or if the disposal is made on the day following the end of a reference period, the same as in section 356JJA(1) (in its application to that period); A is— if the disposal is made on the day following the end of an accounting period, the same as in section 356JHB(2) (in its application to that period), or if the disposal is made on the day following the end of a reference period, the same as in section 356JJB(2) (in its application to that period); S is the total of any amounts of allowance transferred by the transferor in connection with any prior disposals (see section 356JKA) made in relation to the relevant cluster area on the day on which the disposal is made. For the effect of a transfer of cluster area allowance in relation to the transferor, see— for disposals made on the day following the end of an accounting period, section 356JHB (reduction of unactivated allowance carried forward from accounting period), or for disposals made on the day following the end of a reference period, section 356JJB (reduction of unactivated allowance carried forward from reference period). Subsections (2) to (4) apply where a company makes, on a single day and in relation to a single cluster area, more than one disposal falling within section 356JK(1)(a). The company may, by an election, choose the order of priority of the disposals for the purposes of section 356JK(8). A disposal which is placed higher in the order of priority than another disposal is a “prior disposal” in relation to the other for the purposes of the definition of “S” in section 356JK(8). An election under subsection (2) is irrevocable. Where a transfer of cluster area allowance is made under section 356JK, each transferee is treated as generating in the cluster area concerned, at the beginning of the accounting period or reference period of the transferee that begins with the day on which the disposal is made, cluster area allowance of the amount given by subsection (2). T is the total amount of cluster area allowance transferred in connection with the disposal; E3 is the share of equity in the licensed area or sub-area that the transferee has acquired from the transferor; E1 and E2 are the same as in section 356JK(5). In this section references to the transferor and the transferees are to be read in accordance with section 356JK(1). a company (“C”) disposes of the whole or part of its share of the equity in a licensed area or sub-area (“area A”), that area is wholly or partly included in a cluster area, and C has generated in the cluster area, on or before the day of the disposal, cluster area allowance which is wholly or partly attributable to an unlicensed area (“area U”) in the cluster area. C may, by an election, assign to area A, or to any other relevant licensed area or sub-area in the cluster area, so much of the total of generated allowance for the cluster area as is attributable to area U. The reference in subsection (2) to a “relevant” licensed area or sub-area is to a licensed area or sub-area in which C is a licensee. In subsection (2), “the total of generated allowance for the cluster area” means the total of all amounts of cluster area allowance generated by C in the cluster area at any time on or before the day of the disposal (including any amounts treated under section 356JKB(1) as so generated). An election under this section must be made within the 60 days beginning with the date of the disposal and must specify— the amount of cluster area allowance transferred, the unlicensed area to which it was attributable, and the licensed area or sub-area to which it is assigned. An election under this section is irrevocable. Where an amount of cluster area allowance is assigned to a licensed area or sub-area by an election under this section, that amount is taken, for the purposes of this Chapter— to have been attributable to that licensed area or sub-area with effect from the beginning of the day on which the disposal is made, and never to have been attributable to area U. “attributable” means attributable on a just and reasonable basis; “unlicensed area” means an area which is not (and is not part of) a licensed area or sub-area. Any necessary adjustments to the operation of this Chapter (whether in relation to the profits or otherwise) are to be made (including any necessary adjustments to the effect of section 356JG on the profits or to the calculation of the amount to be carried forward under section 356JGA). The Treasury may by regulations substitute a different percentage for the percentage that is at any time specified in section 356JF(2) (calculation of allowance as a percentage of investment expenditure). Regulations under section 356JE(1)(b) may make provision about when any expenditure that is investment expenditure as a result of the regulations is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as incurred. Where any person is entitled to a share of equity in a licensed area which relates to part only of that area— that part is referred to in this Chapter as a “licensed sub-area”, and the share of equity is referred to in this Chapter as a share of equity in the licensed sub-area, and references to a licensee in a licensed sub-area are to be interpreted accordingly. “cluster area allowance” has the meaning given by section 356JF(2); “cumulative total amount of activated allowance” has the meaning given by section 356JG(2); “licensed area” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975; “licensee” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of OTA 1975 (but see also section 356JNA); “relevant income”, in relation to a cluster area and an accounting period, has the meaning given by section 356JH(3). Section 349A (meaning of “additionally-developed oil field”), so far as it continues to have effect for certain purposes (in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 12 to this Act) in the case of projects authorised before 1 April 2015, is to be read as if in subsection (1)— the “and” at the end of paragraph (aa) were omitted; after paragraph (b) there were inserted on the authorisation day the oil field has never been (and is not treated by virtue of paragraph 5 of Schedule 13 to FA 2015 as having been) wholly or partly included in a cluster area. Section 350 (meaning of “new oil field”), so far as it continues to have effect for certain purposes (in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 12 to this Act) in the case of development authorised before 1 January 2016, is to be read as if after subsection (4) there were inserted— Any authorisation of development of an oil field is treated as not being an authorisation of development for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) if it is given on a day on which the oil field is (or is treated by virtue of paragraph 5 of Schedule 13 to FA 2015 as having been) wholly or partly included in a cluster area. Sub-paragraph (2) applies if the Secretary of State has published, on any day (“the day of publication”) in the period beginning with 3 December 2014 and ending with the day before the day on which this Act is passed, a proposal to determine a specified offshore area to be a cluster area for the purposes of Chapter 9 of Part 8 of CTA 2010. The proposal is treated for the purposes of that Chapter— as a determination validly made under section 356JD of that Act and as having had effect from the day of publication, and if the Secretary of State has published (before the end of the period mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)) an announcement of the withdrawal of the proposal, as having ceased to have effect on the date of publication of that announcement. But this sub-paragraph is subject to paragraph 6. If a proposal published as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) (and not withdrawn before the day on which this Act is passed) assigns an identifying number or other designation to the proposed cluster area, that number or other designation is treated as having been assigned under section 356JD(6). An area is “offshore” for the purposes of this paragraph if the whole of it lies on the seaward side of the baselines from which the territorial sea of the United Kingdom is measured. In this paragraph, references to publication are to publication on a website that is, and indicates that it is, kept by or on behalf of the Secretary of State. a cluster area has been determined under section 356JD of CTA 2010 on a day before the cut-off date, or is treated under paragraph 5 as having been so determined, and a particular oil field would (in the absence of this paragraph) be wholly or partly included in the cluster area for the purposes of Chapter 9 of Part 8 of CTA 2010. The relevant companies may, within 60 days of the day the determination of the cluster area is published, jointly elect that Chapters 6A and 9 of Part 8 of CTA 2010, and Chapter 7 of that Part so far as it continues to have effect, are to have effect as if no part of the oil field were included in the cluster area (and an election made as mentioned in this sub-paragraph is effective whether made before or after the day on which this Act is passed). An election under sub-paragraph (2) made on or after the day on which this Act is passed is irrevocable. In this paragraph “the relevant companies” means the companies which are licensees in the oil field at the date of the election. “The cut-off date” means a day to be specified in regulations made by the Treasury. Section 1171(4) of CTA 2010 (regulations etc subject to annulment) does not apply to regulations under sub-paragraph (5). In this paragraph expressions which are used in Chapter 9 of Part 8 of CTA 2010 have the same meaning as in that Chapter. CTA 2010 is amended as follows. Section 270 (overview of Part) is amended as follows. Chapter 6A makes provision about the reduction of supplementary charge by an allowance for certain expenditure incurred in relation to qualifying oil fields for the purposes of oil-related activities. Omit subsection (7). Chapter 9 makes provision about the reduction of supplementary charge by an allowance for certain expenditure incurred in relation to a cluster area for the purposes of oil-related activities. In subsection (8)— at the end of paragraph (a) insert “ and ”, and omit paragraph (c) and the “and” before it. In section 330 (supplementary charge in respect of ring fence trades), for subsection (5) substitute— This Chapter is subject to— Chapter 6A (reduction of supplementary charge: investment allowance), Chapter 8 (reduction of supplementary charge: onshore allowance), and Chapter 9 (reduction of supplementary charge: cluster area allowance). After section 330 insert— In this section “relieving Chapter” means any of the following— Chapter 6A (reduction of supplementary charge: investment allowance); Chapter 8 (reduction of supplementary charge: onshore allowance); Where a company has allowances under more than one relieving Chapter available for reducing the adjusted ring fence profits that are to be chargeable under section 330(1) for an accounting period, the company may choose the order in which the relieving Chapters in question are to be applied. In any relieving Chapter, “adjusted ring fence profits”, in relation to a company and an accounting period, means the adjusted ring fence profits which would (ignoring all relieving Chapters except those which the company chooses to apply before that Chapter) be taken into account in calculating the supplementary charge on the company under section 330(1) for the accounting period. In section 356C (generation of onshore allowance), in subsection (9)(a), for “section 351” substitute “ section 356IB ”. Omit section 356DB (companies with both field allowance and onshore allowance). Before section 356J (but after the heading “Interpretation”) insert— In this Chapter a reference to authorisation of development of an oil field is a reference to a national authority— granting a licensee consent for development of the field, serving on a licensee a programme of development for the field, or approving a programme of development for the field. “consent for development”, in relation to an oil field, does not include consent which is limited to the purpose of testing the characteristics of an oil-bearing area, “development”, in relation to an oil field, means winning oil from the field otherwise than in the course of searching for oil or drilling wells, and “national authority” means— the Secretary of State, or a Northern Ireland department. In section 356JB (definitions for Chapter 8), in the definition of “adjusted ring fence profits”, for the words from “means” to the end substitute “ is to be read in accordance with section 330ZA ”. Schedule 4 (index of defined expressions) is amended as follows. Omit the entries for— “additionally-developed oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “adjusted ring fence profits (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “adjusted ring fence profits (in Chapter 8 of Part 8)”, “authorisation day (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “authorisation of development of an oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “eligible oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “licensee (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “new oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “qualifying oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “relevant income (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “small oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “total field allowance for a new oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, “total field allowance for an additionally-developed oil field”, “ultra heavy oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”, and “ultra high pressure/high temperature oil field (in Chapter 7 of Part 8)”. At the appropriate places insert— The amendments made by Part 1 of this Schedule have effect in relation to accounting periods ending on or after 1 April 2015. Sub-paragraph (1) is subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4). So far as they relate to cluster area allowance under Chapter 9 of Part 8 of CTA 2010 (as inserted by Schedule 13) the amendments made by Part 1 of this Schedule have effect in relation to expenditure incurred on or after 3 December 2014. So far as they relate to investment allowance under Chapter 6A of Part 8 of CTA 2010 (as inserted by Schedule 12) in respect of oil fields not falling within paragraph 6(1)(a) or (b) of that Schedule, the amendments made by Part 1 of this Schedule have effect subject to paragraphs 7 and 8 of that Schedule. Part 3 of FA 1996 (landfill tax) is amended as follows. Section 42 (amount of tax charged on a taxable disposal) is amended as follows. In subsection (2), after “qualifying material” insert “ or qualifying fines ”. Qualifying fines are a mixture of— fines that consist of such qualifying material as is prescribed by order, and fines that consist of material that is not qualifying material, that satisfies all the requirements prescribed in an order. An order under subsection (3A) relating to the mixture of fines may require, in particular— that fines that consist of material that is not qualifying material do not exceed a prescribed proportion; that the mixture of fines does not include prescribed materials or prescribed descriptions of materials; that the mixture of fines is such that, if subjected to a prescribed test, it would give a prescribed result; that the mixture of fines originates, or does not originate, in a prescribed way. In subsection (4)(a), after “listed” insert “ or what fines are to be qualifying fines ”. In subsection (6), after “listed,” insert “ or what fines are to be qualifying fines, ”. In section 63 (qualifying material: special provisions), after subsection (4) insert— Subsections (2) to (4) do not apply where the material disposed of consists of qualifying fines. After section 63 insert— This section applies for the purposes of section 42. An order may provide that fines must not be treated as qualifying fines unless prescribed conditions are met. A condition may relate to any matter the Treasury think fit. The conditions may include conditions making provision about— the production of a document which includes a statement of the nature of the fines; carrying out a specified test on fines proposed to be disposed of as qualifying fines; the frequency with which tests are to be carried out on any fines proposed to be disposed of as qualifying fines; the frequency with which tests are to be carried out on any fines that come from a particular source and are proposed to be disposed of as qualifying fines; the steps to be taken by operators of landfill sites in relation to persons sending fines to be disposed of as qualifying fines. The conditions may enable provision to be made by notices issued by the Commissioners in accordance with such provision as is made in the conditions. A notice issued as described in subsection (5) may be revoked by a notice issued in the same way. If an order includes provision falling within subsection (4)(b), the Commissioners may direct a person to carry out such a test in relation to any fines proposed to be disposed of as qualifying fines. In this section “specified” means specified in— a condition prescribed under subsection (2), or a notice issued as described in subsection (5). In section 70(1) (interpretation), at the appropriate place insert— “fines” means particles produced by a waste treatment process that involves an element of mechanical treatment; In section 71 (orders and regulations), subsection (7) is amended as follows. After paragraph (a) insert— an order under section 42(3A) providing for fines which would otherwise be qualifying fines not to be qualifying fines; After paragraph (c) insert— an order under section 63A(2) other than one which provides only that an earlier order under section 63A(2) is not to apply to fines; Schedule 5 (provision about information etc) is amended as follows. In the heading to Part 1, after “Information” insert “ and samples ”. After paragraph 2A insert— Regulations may make provision about giving the Commissioners information about fines proposed to be disposed of, or disposed of, as qualifying fines. Regulations under this paragraph may require a person to notify the Commissioners if the result of a test carried out on fines indicates that the fines are not qualifying fines. Regulations may require persons— where a sample is taken from a quantity of fines in order to carry out a test on the fines, to retain a prescribed amount of that sample; to preserve fines retained under paragraph (a) for such period not exceeding three months as may be specified in the regulations. A duty under regulations under this paragraph to preserve fines may be discharged by taking such steps to preserve them as the Commissioners may specify in writing. In paragraph 10 (power to take samples), after sub-paragraph (1) insert— An authorised person, if it appears to the person necessary for the protection of the revenue against mistake or fraud, may at any time take, from material which the person has reasonable cause to believe is an amount of fines retained under paragraph 2C(1)(a), such samples as the person may require with a view to determining how the fines tested ought to be or to have been treated for the purposes of tax. In paragraph 22 (information)— in sub-paragraph (1)(b), after “2” insert “ or 2A ”; in sub-paragraph (3), for the words from “who” to “liable” substitute who— fails to preserve records in compliance with any provision of regulations made under paragraph 2 (read with that paragraph and any direction given under the regulations), or fails to preserve records in compliance with any provision of regulations made under paragraph 2A (read with that paragraph and any direction given under the regulations), is liable The amendments made by this Schedule have effect in relation to disposals that are— made in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, and made (or treated as made) on or after 1 April 2015. Chapter 6 of Part 22 of CTA 2010 (collection etc of tax from UK representatives of non-UK resident companies) has effect as if the enactments referred to in section 969(1) of that Act included enactments relating to diverted profits tax so far as they make provision for or in connection with the charging, collection and recovery of diverted profits tax or of interest on that tax. In its application in accordance with sub-paragraph (1), that Chapter has effect subject to the following modifications. In a case where section 86 applies in relation to company, that Chapter applies in relation to the avoided PE in relation to that company as it would apply to a permanent establishment in the United Kingdom through which the company carries on a trade. In section 969(3) of that Act references to “chargeable profits of the company attributable to that establishment” are to be read as references to “taxable diverted profits arising to the company”. In section 971 of that Act references to the giving or service of a notice includes a reference to the issuing of a notice. This Part of this Schedule applies if— an amount of diverted profits tax has been charged on a company for an accounting period, the whole or any part of that amount is unpaid at the end of the due and payable date, and the company is non-UK resident. In this Part of this Schedule “the taxpayer company” means the company mentioned in sub-paragraph (1). In this Part of this Schedule “the relevant period”, in relation to an amount of unpaid diverted profits tax for an accounting period of the taxpayer company, means the period— beginning 12 months before the start of the accounting period, and ending when the unpaid tax became payable. A company is a “related company”, for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule, if, at any time in the relevant period, it was a member— of the same group as the taxpayer company, of a consortium which at that time owned the taxpayer company, or of the same group as a company which at that time was a member of a consortium owning the taxpayer company. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a) two companies are members of the same group if— one is the 51% subsidiary of the other, or both are 51% subsidiaries of a third company. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(c), two companies are members of the same group if they are members of the same group of companies within the meaning of Part 5 of CTA 2010 (group relief). For the purposes of this Part of this Schedule— a company is a member of a consortium if it is a member of a consortium within the meaning of Part 5 of CTA 2010, and a company is owned by a consortium if it is owned by a consortium within the meaning of that Part. In this paragraph “51% subsidiary” has the meaning given by section 1154 of CTA 2010. An officer of Revenue and Customs may serve a notice on a related company requiring it, within 30 days of the service of the notice, to pay— in a case which is not a consortium case, the amount of the unpaid tax, or in a consortium case, the proportion of that amount found under paragraph 7. The notice must state— the amount of diverted profits tax charged on the taxpayer company for the accounting period in question that remains unpaid, the date when it first became payable, and the amount which is to be paid by the company on which the notice is served. The notice has effect— for the purposes of the recovery from that company of the amount required to be paid and of interest on that amount, and for the purposes of appeals, as if it were a charging notice and that amount were an amount of diverted profits tax charged on that company. In this Part of this Schedule “consortium case” means a case where the related company is not within paragraph 4(1)(a). A notice under this Part of this Schedule must be served before the end of the period of 3 years beginning with the date when the charging notice or supplementary charging notice imposing the charge to tax was issued. In a consortium case, the amount that the related company may be required to pay by notice under this Part of this Schedule is the proportion of the unpaid tax corresponding— if the company is only within paragraph 4(1)(b), to the share which the company has had in the consortium for the relevant period, if the company is only within paragraph 4(1)(c), to the share which companies that have been members of the same group of companies as the company have had in the consortium for the relevant period, or if the company is within paragraph 4(1)(b) and (c), to whichever is the greater of the amounts given by paragraph (a) and (b). For the purposes of this paragraph, a member's share in a consortium, in relation to the relevant period, is whichever is the lowest in that period of the percentages specified in sub-paragraph (3). Those percentages are— the percentage of the ordinary share capital of the taxpayer company which is beneficially owned by the member, the percentage to which the member is beneficially entitled of any profits available for distribution to equity holders of the taxpayer company, and the percentage to which the member would be beneficially entitled of any assets of the taxpayer company available for distribution to its equity holders on a winding up. If any of the percentages mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) has fluctuated in the relevant period, the average percentage over the period is to be taken. Chapter 6 of Part 5 of CTA 2010 (equity holders and profits or assets available for distribution) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) as it applies for the purposes of sections 143(3)(b) and (c) and 144(3)(b) and (c) of that Act. A company that has paid an amount in pursuance of a notice under this Part of this Schedule may recover that amount from the taxpayer company. A payment in pursuance of a notice under this Part of this Schedule is not allowed as a deduction in calculating income, profits or losses for any tax purposes. After section 310B of FA 2004 insert— information has been provided under section 308 about any notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, to which a reference number is allocated under section 311, and after the provision of the information, there is a change in relation to the arrangements of a kind mentioned in subsection (2). The changes referred to in subsection (1)(b) are— a change in the name by which the notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, are known; a change in the name or address of any person who is a promoter in relation to the notifiable arrangements or, in the case of proposed notifiable arrangements, the notifiable proposal. A person who is a promoter in relation to the notifiable arrangements or, in the case of proposed notifiable arrangements, the notifiable proposal must inform HMRC of the change mentioned in subsection (1)(b) within 30 days after it is made. Subsections (5) and (6) apply for the purposes of subsection (3) where there is more than one person who is a promoter in relation to the notifiable arrangements or proposal. If the change in question is a change in the name or address of a person who is a promoter in relation to the notifiable arrangements or proposal, it is the duty of that person to comply with subsection (3). If a person provides information in compliance with subsection (3), the duty imposed by that subsection on any other person, so far as relating to the provision of that information, is discharged. In section 316 of that Act (information to be provided in form and manner specified by HMRC), in subsection (2), after “310A,” insert “ 310C, ”. In section 98C of TMA 1970 (notification under Part 7 of FA 2004), in subsection (2), after paragraph (ca) insert— section 310C (duty of promoters to provide updated information), In section 311(1)(a) of FA 2004 (period for allocation of reference number to arrangements) for “30 days” substitute “ 90 days ”. Section 312A of FA 2004 (duty of client to notify parties of number) is amended as follows. Where the client— is an employer, and by reason of the arrangements or proposed arrangements, receives or might reasonably be expected to receive an advantage, in relation to any relevant tax, in relation to the employment of one or more of the client's employees, the client must, within the prescribed period, provide to each of the client's relevant employees prescribed information relating to the reference number. a tax is a “relevant tax”, in relation to arrangements or arrangements proposed in a proposal of any description, if it is prescribed in relation to arrangements or proposals of that description by regulations under section 306; “relevant employee” means an employee in relation to whose employment the client receives or might reasonably be expected to receive the advantage mentioned in subsection (2A); “employee” includes a former employee; a reference to employment includes holding an office (and references to “employee” and “employer” are to be construed accordingly). In subsection (4), for “the duty under subsection (2)” substitute “ one or both of the duties under this section ”. In subsection (5), after “subsection (2)” insert “ or (2A) ”. In section 313 of that Act (duty of parties to notifiable arrangements to notify Board of number, etc), after subsection (5) insert— The duty under subsection (1) does not apply in prescribed circumstances. In section 316 of that Act (information to be provided in form and manner specified by HMRC), in subsection (2), after “312A(2)” insert “ and (2A) ”. In section 98C of TMA 1970 (notification under Part 7 of FA 2004), in subsection (2), in paragraph (da), after “312A(2)” insert “ and (2A) ”. After section 313ZB of FA 2004 insert— This section applies if conditions A, B and C are met. Condition A is that a person who is a promoter in relation to notifiable arrangements or a notifiable proposal is providing (or has provided) services in connection with the notifiable arrangements or notifiable proposal to a person (“the client”). Condition B is that the client receives information under section 312(2) or as mentioned in section 312(5). Condition C is that the client is an employer in circumstances where, as a result of the notifiable arrangement or proposed notifiable arrangement— one or more of the client's employees receive, or might reasonably be expected to receive, in relation to their employment, an advantage in relation to any relevant tax, or the client receives or might reasonably be expected to receive such an advantage in relation to the employment of one or more of the client's employees. Where an employee is within subsection (4)(a), or is an employee mentioned in subsection (4)(b), the client must provide HMRC with prescribed information relating to the employee at the prescribed time or times. The client need not comply with subsection (5) in relation to any notifiable arrangements at any time after HMRC have given notice under section 312(6) or 313(5) in relation to the notifiable arrangements. The duty under subsection (5) does not apply in prescribed circumstances. Section 312A(3) applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of that section. In section 316 of that Act (information to be provided in form and manner specified by HMRC), in subsection (2), for “and 313ZA(3)” substitute “ , 313ZA(3) and 313ZC(5) ”. In section 98C of TMA 1970 (notification under Part 7 of FA 2004), in subsection (2), after paragraph (dc) insert— section 313ZC (duty of employer to provide details of employees etc), Section 313C of FA 2004 (information provided to introducers) is amended as follows. For subsection (1) substitute— This section applies where HMRC suspect— that a person (“P”) is an introducer in relation to a proposal, and that the proposal may be notifiable. HMRC may by written notice require P to provide HMRC with one or both of the following— prescribed information in relation to each person who has provided P with any information relating to the proposal; prescribed information in relation to each person with whom P has made a marketing contact in relation to the proposal. In subsection (3), for “or by virtue of subsection (1)” substitute “ subsection (1A) ”. For the heading substitute “ Provision of information to HMRC by introducers ”. In section 98C of TMA 1970 (notification under Part 7 of FA 2004: penalties), in subsection (2)(f) after “information” insert “ or have been provided with information ”. After section 316 of FA 2004 insert— This section applies where a person is required to provide information under section 312(2) or 312A(2) or (2A). HMRC may specify additional information which must be provided by that person to the recipients under section 312(2) or 312A(2) or (2A) at the same time as the information referred to in subsection (1). HMRC may specify the form and manner in which the additional information is to be provided. For the purposes of this section “additional information” means information supplied by HMRC which relates to notifiable proposals or notifiable arrangements in general. In section 98C of TMA 1970 (notification under Part 7 of FA 2004), in subsection (2), omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (e) and after paragraph (f) insert section 316A (duty to provide additional information). After section 316A of FA 2004 insert— No duty of confidentiality or other restriction on disclosure (however imposed) prevents the voluntary disclosure by any person to HMRC of information or documents which the person has reasonable grounds for suspecting will assist HMRC in determining whether there has been a breach of any requirement imposed by or under this Part. After section 316B of FA 2004 insert— HMRC may publish information about— any notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, to which a reference number is allocated under section 311; any person who is a promoter in relation to the notifiable arrangements or, in the case of proposed notifiable arrangements, the notifiable proposal. The information that may be published is (subject to subsection (4))— any information relating to arrangements within subsection (1)(a), or a person within subsection (1)(b), that is prescribed information for the purposes of section 308, 309 or 310; any ruling of a court or tribunal relating to any such arrangements or person (in that person's capacity as a promoter in relation to a notifiable proposal or arrangements); the number of persons in any period who enter into transactions forming part of notifiable arrangements within subsection (1)(a); whether arrangements within subsection (1)(a) are APN relevant (see subsection (7)); any other information that HMRC considers it appropriate to publish for the purpose of identifying arrangements within subsection (1)(a) or a person within subsection (1)(b). The information may be published in any manner that HMRC considers appropriate. No information may be published under this section that identifies a person who enters into a transaction forming part of notifiable arrangements within subsection (1)(a). But where a person who is a promoter within subsection (1)(b) is also a person mentioned in subsection (4), nothing in subsection (4) is to be taken as preventing the publication under this section of information so far as relating to the person's activities as a promoter. Before publishing any information under this section that identifies a person as a promoter within subsection (1)(b), HMRC must— inform the person that they are considering doing so, and give the person reasonable opportunity to make representations about whether it should be published. Arrangements are “APN relevant” for the purposes of subsection (2)(d) if HMRC has indicated in a publication that it may exercise (or has exercised) its power under section 219 of the Finance Act 2014 (accelerated payment notices) by virtue of the arrangements being DOTAS arrangements within the meaning of that section. information about notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, is published under section 316C, at any time after the information is published, a ruling of a court or tribunal is made in relation to tax arrangements, and HMRC is of the opinion that the ruling is relevant to the arrangements mentioned in paragraph (a). A ruling is “relevant” to the arrangements if— the principles laid down, or reasoning given, in the ruling would, if applied to the arrangements, allow the purported advantage arising from the arrangements in relation to tax, and the ruling is final. HMRC must publish information about the ruling. The information must be published in the same manner as HMRC published the information mentioned in subsection (1)(a) (and may also be published in any other manner that HMRC considers appropriate). A ruling is “final” if it is— a ruling of the Supreme Court, or a ruling of any other court or tribunal in circumstances where— no appeal may be made against the ruling, if an appeal may be made against the ruling with permission, the time limit for applications has expired and either no application has been made or permission has been refused, if such permission to appeal against the ruling has been granted or is not required, no appeal has been made within the time limit for appeals, or if an appeal was made, it was abandoned or otherwise disposed of before it was determined by the court or tribunal to which it was addressed. Where a ruling is final by virtue of sub-paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) of subsection (5)(b), the ruling is to be treated as made at the time when the sub-paragraph in question is first satisfied. In this section “tax arrangements” means arrangements in respect of which it would be reasonable to conclude (having regard to all the circumstances) that the obtaining of an advantage in relation to tax was the main purpose, or one of the main purposes. In section 98C of TMA 1970 (notification under Part 7 of FA 2004)— in subsection (3) for “penalty of the relevant sum” substitute “ penalty not exceeding the relevant sum ”, and in paragraph (a) for “£100” substitute “ £5,000 ”, in paragraph (b) for “£500” substitute “ £7,500 ”, and in paragraph (c) for “£1,000” substitute “ £10,000 ”. Section 310C of FA 2004 applies in relation to notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, only if a reference number under section 311 of that Act is allocated to the arrangements on or after the day on which this Act is passed. But section 310C of FA 2004 does not apply in relation to notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, where prescribed information relating to the arrangements was provided to HMRC before that day in compliance with section 308 of that Act. Any notice given by HMRC under section 312A(4) of FA 2004 (notice that section 312A(2) duty does not apply) before the day on which this Act is passed is treated on and after that day as given also in relation to the duty under section 312A(2A) of that Act. Section 316C of FA 2004 applies in relation to notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, only if a reference number under section 311 of that Act is allocated to the arrangements on or after the day on which this Act is passed. But section 316C of FA 2004 does not apply in relation to notifiable arrangements, or proposed notifiable arrangements, where prescribed information relating to the arrangements was provided to HMRC before that day in compliance with section 308, 309 or 310 of that Act. Section 316C(2)(b) of FA 2004 applies in relation to a ruling of a court or tribunal only if the ruling is given on or after the day on which this Act is passed. Part 4 of FA 2014 (accelerated payments etc) is amended as follows. In section 199 (overview of Part 4), in paragraph (c) omit the “and” at the end of sub-paragraph (ii), and after sub-paragraph (iii) insert provision restricting the surrender of losses and other amounts for the purposes of group relief. Section 220 (content of notice given while a tax enquiry is in progress) is amended as follows. in paragraph (b), after “the payment” insert “ (if any) ”, and omit the “and” at the end of that paragraph, and after paragraph (c) insert if the denied advantage consists of or includes an asserted surrenderable amount, specify that amount and any action which is required to be taken in respect of it under section 225A. Asserted surrenderable amount” means so much of a surrenderable loss as a designated HMRC officer determines, to the best of that officer's information and belief, to be an amount— which would not be a surrenderable loss of P if the position were as stated in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (4), and which is not the subject of a claim by P for relief from corporation tax reflected in the understated tax amount (and hence in the payment required to be made under section 223). “Surrenderable loss” means a loss or other amount within section 99(1) of CTA 2010 (or part of such a loss or other amount). In subsection (6), for “the payment specified under subsection (2)(b)” substitute “ any payment specified under subsection (2)(b) or amount specified under subsection (2)(d) ”. Section 221 (content of notice given pending an appeal) is amended as follows. in paragraph (b), after “the disputed tax” insert “ (if any) ”, and omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (b) and after paragraph (c) insert if the denied advantage consists of or includes an asserted surrenderable amount (within the meaning of section 220(4A)), specify that amount and any action which is required to be taken in respect of it under section 225A. Section 222 (representations about a notice) is amended as follows. In subsection (2) omit the “or” at the end of paragraph (a), and after paragraph (b) insert objecting to the amount specified in the notice under section 220(2)(d) or section 221(2)(d). omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (a), in paragraph (b), after “different amount” insert “ (or no amount) ”, and omit the “or” after sub-paragraph (i) of that paragraph and after sub-paragraph (ii) insert remove from the notice the provision made under section 220(2)(b) or section 221(2)(b), and if representations were made under subsection (2)(c) (and the notice is not withdrawn under paragraph (a)), determine whether a different amount (or no amount) ought to have been specified under section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d), and then— confirm the amount specified in the notice, amend the notice to specify a different amount, or remove from the notice the provision made under section 220(2)(d) or section 221(2)(d), Section 223 (effect of notice given while tax enquiry is in progress) is amended as follows. an accelerated payment notice is given by virtue of section 219(2)(a) (notice given while a tax enquiry is in progress) (and not withdrawn), and an amount is stated in the notice in accordance with section 220(2)(b). In subsection (2), for “the amount specified in the notice in accordance with section 220(2)(b)” substitute “ that amount ”. Accordingly, in the heading for that section after “progress” insert “ : accelerated payment ”. After section 225 insert— an accelerated payment notice is given (and not withdrawn), and an amount is specified in the notice in accordance with section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d). P may not consent to any claim for group relief in respect of the amount so specified. Subject to subsection (2), paragraph 75 (other than sub-paragraphs (7) and (8)) of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (reduction in amount available for surrender) has effect as if the amount so specified ceased to be an amount available for surrender at the time the notice was given to P. For the purposes of subsection (3), paragraph 75 of that Schedule has effect as if, in sub-paragraph (2) of that paragraph for “within 30 days” there were substituted “ before the end of the payment period (within the meaning of section 223(5) of the Finance Act 2014) ”. The time limits otherwise applicable to amendment of a company tax return do not prevent an amendment being made in accordance with paragraph 75(6) of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 where, pursuant to subsection (3), a claimant company receives— notice of the withdrawal of consent under paragraph 75(3) of that Schedule, or a copy of a notice containing directions under paragraph 75(4) of that Schedule. a company makes such an amendment to its company tax return at a time when an enquiry is in progress into the return, and paragraph 31(3) of that Schedule prevents the amendment from taking effect until the enquiry is completed. Section 219 (circumstances in which an accelerated payment notice may be given) has effect, in its application to that company in a case where section 219(2)(a) applies (tax enquiry in progress), as if— for the purposes of section 219(3), that amendment to the return had not been made, in section 219(4), after paragraph (c) there were inserted— P has amended its company tax return, in accordance with paragraph 75(6) of Schedule 18 to FA 1998, in circumstances where pursuant to section 225A(3), P has received— a copy of a notice containing directions under paragraph 75(4) of that Schedule, but paragraph 31(3) of that Schedule prevents that amendment having effect. in section 220(4), after paragraph (c) there were inserted— in the case of a notice given by virtue of section 219(4)(d) (cases involving withdrawal of consent for losses claimed), it were assumed that P had never made the claim to group relief to which the amendment to its company tax return relates. in section 227(10), for “or (c)” there were substituted “ , (c) or (d) ”. Subsections (2) and (3) are subject to— section 227(14) to (16) (provision about claims for group relief, and consents to claims, following amendment or withdrawal of an accelerated payment notice), and section 227A (provision about claims for group relief, and consents to claims, once tax position finally determined). Section 227 (withdrawal, modification or suspension of accelerated payment notice) is amended as follows. In subsection (2) omit the “or” after paragraph (b) and after paragraph (c) insert reduce the amount specified in the accelerated payment notice under section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d). In subsection (4), after “(2)(c)” insert “ or (d) ”. In subsection (6)(b), after “advantage” insert “ etc ”.

In subsection (7), omit the “and” after paragraph (a) and after paragraph (b) insert if the amount of the asserted surrenderable amount is less than the amount specified in the notice, amend the notice under subsection (2)(d) to substitute the lower amount. After subsection (12) insert— Where, as a result of an accelerated payment notice specifying an amount under section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d), a notice of consent by P to a claim for group relief in respect of the amount specified (or part of it) became ineffective by virtue of section 225A(3), nothing in subsection (12) operates to revive that notice. After subsection (13) insert— If the accelerated payment notice is amended under subsection (2)(d) or withdrawn— section 225A(2) and (3) (which prevents consent being given to group relief claims) cease to apply in relation to the released amount, and a claim for group relief may be made in respect of any part of the released amount within the period of 30 days after the day on which the notice is amended or withdrawn. The time limits otherwise applicable to amendment of a company tax return do not apply to the extent that it makes a claim for group relief within the time allowed by subsection (14). “The released amount” means— in a case where the accelerated payment notice is amended under subsection (2)(d), the amount represented by the reduction, and in a case where the accelerated payment notice is withdrawn, the amount specified under section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d). After section 227 insert— This section applies where as a result of an accelerated payment notice given to P— P was prevented from consenting to a claim for group relief in respect of an amount under section 225A(2), or pursuant to section 225A(3), a consent given by P to a claim for group relief in respect of an amount was ineffective. If a final determination establishes that the amount P has available to surrender consists of or includes the amount referred to in subsection (1)(a) or (b) or a part of it (“the allowed amount”)— section 225A(2) and (3) (which prevents consent being given to group relief claims) ceases to apply in relation to the allowed amount, and a claim for group relief in respect of any part of the allowed amount may be made within the period of 30 days after the relevant time. The time limits otherwise applicable to amendment of a company tax return do not apply to an amendment to the extent that it makes a claim for group relief in respect of any part of the allowed amount within the time limit allowed by subsection (2)(b). “final determination” means— a conclusion stated in a closure notice under paragraph 34 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 against which no appeal is made; the final determination of a tax appeal within paragraph (d) or (e) of section 203; “relevant time” means— in a case within paragraph (a) above, the end of the period during which the appeal could have been made; in the case within paragraph (b) above, the end of the day on which the final determination occurs. Schedule 32 (accelerated payments and partnerships) is amended as follows. In paragraph 4 (content of partner payment notice)— in sub-paragraph (1), in paragraph (b), after “the payment” insert “ (if any) ”, in that sub-paragraph omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (b) and after paragraph (c) insert if the denied advantage consists of or includes an asserted surrenderable amount, specify that amount and any action which is required to be taken in respect of it under paragraph 6A. after sub-paragraph (4) insert— Asserted surrenderable amount” means so much of a surrenderable loss which the relevant partner asserts to have as a designated HMRC officer determines, to the best of that officer's information and belief, to be an amount— which would not be a surrenderable loss of that partner if the position were as stated in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of sub-paragraph (3), and which is not the subject of a claim by the relevant partner to relief from corporation tax which is reflected in the amount of the understated partner tax of that partner (and hence in the payment required to be made under paragraph 6). in sub-paragraph (5), for “the payment specified under sub-paragraph (1)(b)” substitute “ any payment specified under sub-paragraph (1)(b) or amount specified under sub-paragraph (1)(d) ”. In paragraph 5 (representations about a partner payment notice)— in sub-paragraph (2) omit the “or” at the end of paragraph (a), and after paragraph (b) insert objecting to the amount specified in the notice under paragraph 4(1)(d). in sub-paragraph (4), omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (a), in paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph, after “different amount” insert “ (or no amount) ”, in that paragraph, omit the “or” at the end of sub-paragraph (i) and after sub-paragraph (ii) insert remove from the notice the provision made under paragraph 4(1)(b), if representations were made under sub-paragraph (2)(c) (and the notice is not withdrawn under paragraph (a)), determine whether a different amount (or no amount) ought to have been specified under paragraph 4(1)(d), and then— remove from the notice the provision made under paragraph 4(1)(d), In paragraph 6 (effect of partner payment notice)— for sub-paragraph (1) substitute— a partner payment notice has been given to a relevant partner (and not withdrawn), and an amount is stated in the notice in accordance with paragraph 4(1)(b). in sub-paragraph (2) for “the amount specified in the notice in accordance with paragraph 4(1)(b)” substitute “ that amount ”. an amount is specified in the notice in accordance with paragraph 4(1)(d). The relevant partner may not at any time when the notice has effect consent to any claim for group relief in respect of the amount so specified. Subject to sub-paragraph (2), paragraph 75 (other than sub-paragraphs (7) and (8)) of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 (reduction in amount available for surrender) has effect at any time when the notice has effect as if that specified amount ceased to be an amount available for surrender at the time the notice was given to the relevant partner. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), paragraph 75 of that Schedule has effect as if, in sub-paragraph (2) of that paragraph for “within 30 days” there were substituted “ before the end of the payment period (within the meaning of paragraph 6(5) of Schedule 32 to the Finance Act 2014) ”. The time limits otherwise applicable to amendment of a company tax return do not prevent an amendment being made in accordance with paragraph 75(6) of Schedule 18 to FA 1998 where the relevant partner withdraws consent by virtue of sub-paragraph (3). In paragraph 8 (withdrawal, suspension or modification of partner payment notices), in sub-paragraph (2)— section 227(2)(d), (12A) and (16) has effect as if the references to section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d) were to paragraph 4(1)(d) of this Schedule, omit the “and” after paragraph (a) and after paragraph (b) insert section 227(12A) has effect as if the reference to section 225A(3) were to paragraph 6A(3) of this Schedule. In section 55 of TMA 1970 (recovery of tax not postponed), in subsection (8C) omit the “or” after paragraph (b) and after paragraph (c) insert the amount of tax specified in an assessment under paragraph 76 of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998 where— an asserted surrenderable amount is specified in the notice under section 220(2)(d) of the Finance Act 2014 or under paragraph 4(1)(d) of Schedule 32 to that Act, and the claimant company has failed to act in accordance with paragraph 75(6) of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998. Section 225A(3) of FA 2014 (effect of notices: surrender of losses ineffective) (inserted by paragraph 7 of this Schedule) has effect in relation to an amount specified in a notice in accordance with section 220(2)(d) or 221(2)(d) of that Act (inserted by paragraphs 3(2) and 4(2) of this Schedule) whether the consent to a claim for group relief was given, or the claim itself was made, before or on or after the day on which this Act is passed. Paragraph 6A(3) of Schedule 32 to FA 2014 (partnerships: effect of notices: surrender of losses ineffective) (inserted by paragraph 10(5) of this Schedule) has effect in relation to an amount specified in a notice in accordance with paragraph 4(1)(d) of that Schedule (inserted by paragraph 10(2) of this Schedule) whether the consent to a claim for group relief was given, or the claim itself was made, before or on or after the day on which this Act is passed. Part 5 of FA 2014 (promoters of tax avoidance schemes) is amended as follows. Section 237 (duty to give conduct notice) is amended as follows. Subsections (5) to (9) also apply if an authorised officer becomes aware at any time (“the relevant time”) that— a person has, in the period of 3 years ending with the relevant time, met one or more threshold conditions, at the relevant time another person (“P”) meets one or more of those conditions by virtue of Part 2 of Schedule 34 (meeting the threshold conditions: bodies corporate and partnerships), and P is, at the relevant time, carrying on a business as a promoter. In subsection (3), for the words from “the” to the end substitute “ when a person is treated as meeting a threshold condition ”. For subsection (5) substitute— The authorised officer must determine— in a case within subsection (1), whether or not P's meeting of the condition mentioned in subsection (1)(a) (or, if more than one condition is met, the meeting of all of those conditions, taken together) should be regarded as significant in view of the purposes of this Part, or in a case within subsection (1A), whether or not— the meeting of the condition by the person as mentioned in subsection (1A)(a) (or, if more than one condition is met, the meeting of all of those conditions, taken together), and P's meeting of the condition (or conditions) as mentioned in subsection (1A)(b), should be regarded as significant in view of those purposes. In subsection (7), for “subsection (5)” substitute “ subsection (5)(a) ”. If the authorised officer determines under subsection (5)(b) that both— the meeting of the condition or conditions by the person as mentioned in subsection (1A)(a), and P's meeting of the condition or conditions as mentioned in subsection (1A)(b), should be regarded as significant, the officer must give P a conduct notice, unless subsection (8) applies. In subsection (9), omit “mentioned in subsection (1)(a)”. If, as a result of subsection (1A), subsections (5) to (9) apply to a person, this does not prevent the giving of a conduct notice to the person mentioned in subsection (1A)(a). In section 283 (interpretation of Part 5), in the definition of “conduct notice”, after “section 237(7)” insert “ or (7A) ”. Part 2 of Schedule 34 (meeting the threshold conditions) is amended as follows. In the heading, at the end insert “ and partnerships ”. For paragraph 13 substitute— This paragraph contains definitions for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule. Each of the following is a “relevant body”— a body corporate, and a partnership. “Relevant time” means the time referred to in section 237(1A) (duty to give conduct notice to person treated as meeting threshold condition). “Relevant threshold condition” means a threshold condition specified in any of the following paragraphs of this Schedule— paragraph 2 (deliberate tax defaulters); paragraph 4 (dishonest tax agents); paragraph 6 (criminal offences); paragraph 7 (opinion notice of GAAR advisory panel); paragraph 8 (disciplinary action against a member of a trade or profession); paragraph 9 (disciplinary action by regulatory authority); paragraph 10 (failure to comply with information notice). A person controls a body corporate if the person has power to secure that the affairs of the body corporate are conducted in accordance with the person's wishes— by means of the holding of shares or the possession of voting power in relation to the body corporate or any other relevant body, as a result of any powers conferred by the articles of association or other document regulating the body corporate or any other relevant body, or by means of controlling a partnership. A person controls a partnership if the person is a controlling member or the managing partner of the partnership. “Controlling member” has the same meaning as in Schedule 36 (partnerships). “Managing partner”, in relation to a partnership, means the member of the partnership who directs, or is on a day-to-day level in control of, the management of the business of the partnership. A relevant body (“RB”) is treated as meeting a threshold condition at the relevant time if— the threshold condition was met by a person (“C”) at a time when— C was carrying on a business as a promoter, or RB was carrying on a business as a promoter and C controlled RB, and RB is controlled by C at the relevant time. Where C is an individual sub-paragraph (1) applies only if the threshold condition mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) is a relevant threshold condition. For the purposes of determining whether the requirements of sub-paragraph (1) are met by reason of meeting the requirement in sub-paragraph (1)(a)(i), it does not matter whether RB existed at the time when the threshold condition was met by C. A person other than an individual is treated as meeting a threshold condition at the relevant time if— a relevant body (“A”) met the threshold condition at a time when A was controlled by the person, and at the time mentioned in paragraph (a) A, or another relevant body (“B”) which was also at that time controlled by the person, carried on a business as a promoter. For the purposes of determining whether the requirements of sub-paragraph (1) are met it does not matter whether A or B (or neither) exists at the relevant time. RB or another relevant body met the threshold condition at a time (“time T”) when it was controlled by a person (“C”), at time T, there was a relevant body controlled by C which carried on a business as a promoter, and For the purposes of determining whether the requirements of sub-paragraph (1) are met it does not matter whether— RB existed at time T, or any relevant body (other than RB) by reason of which the requirements of sub-paragraph (1) are met exists at the relevant time. In Schedule 36 (partnerships)— omit paragraph 4 (threshold conditions: actions of partners in a personal capacity) and the italic heading before it, omit paragraph 20 (definition of “managing partner”) and the italic heading before it, and in paragraph 21 (power to amend definitions) omit “or 20”. In Schedule 34 (threshold conditions), in paragraph 5 (non-compliance with Part 7 of FA 2004), for sub-paragraph (2) substitute— For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), a person (“P”) fails to comply with a provision mentioned in that sub-paragraph if and only if any of conditions A to C are met. Condition A is met if— the tribunal has determined that P has failed to comply with the provision concerned, the appeal period has ended, and the determination has not been overturned on appeal. Condition B is met if— the tribunal has determined for the purposes of section 118(2) of TMA 1970 that P is to be deemed not to have failed to comply with the provision concerned as P had a reasonable excuse for not doing the thing required to be done, Condition C is met if P has admitted in writing to HMRC that P has failed to comply with the provision concerned. The “appeal period” means— the period during which an appeal could be brought against the determination of the tribunal, or where an appeal mentioned in paragraph (a) has been brought, the period during which that appeal has not been finally determined, withdrawn or otherwise disposed of. In Schedule 34 (threshold conditions), paragraph 8 (disciplinary action: professionals etc) is amended as follows. For sub-paragraph (1) substitute— A person who carries on a trade or profession that is regulated by a professional body meets this condition if all of the following conditions are met— the person is found guilty of misconduct of a prescribed kind, action of a prescribed kind is taken against the person in relation to that misconduct, and a penalty of a prescribed kind is imposed on the person as a result of that misconduct. In the heading, for “by a professional body” substitute “ against a member of a trade or profession ”. In sub-paragraph (3), in paragraph (h), for “for” substitute “ of ”. In Part 3 of Schedule 34 (power to amend), at the end of paragraph 14(2) insert— vary any of the circumstances described in paragraphs 13B to 13D in which a person is treated as meeting a threshold condition (including by amending paragraph 13A); add new circumstances in which a person will be so treated.

In the case of a transfer falling within sub-paragraph (2)(b), (3)(b) or (4)(b), references to the income, proceeds or assets transferred are to be read as including references to any assets derived from or representing the income, proceeds or assets. In relation to an offshore transfer, the territory in question for the purposes of paragraph 4A is the highest category of territory by virtue of which the inaccuracy involves an offshore transfer. “Filing date” means the date when the document containing the inaccuracy is given to HMRC. “Assets” has the same meaning as in paragraph 4A. In paragraph 10 (standard percentage reductions for disclosure), in the Table in sub-paragraph (2), at the appropriate places insert— In paragraph 12(5) (interaction with other penalties and late payment surcharges: the relevant percentage)— if the penalty imposed under paragraph 1 is for an inaccuracy in category 0, 100%, in paragraph (a), for “100%” substitute “ 125% ”.

In relation to an offshore transfer, the territory in question for the purposes of paragraph 6A is the highest category of territory by virtue of which the failure involves an offshore transfer. In this paragraph “calculation date” means the date by reference to which the potential lost revenue is to be calculated (see paragraph 7). Regulations under paragraph 21B of Schedule 24 to FA 2007 (location of assets etc) apply for the purposes of paragraphs 6A and 6AA of this Schedule as they apply for the purposes of paragraphs 4A and 4AA of that Schedule. In paragraph 13 (standard percentage reductions for disclosure), in the Table in sub-paragraph (3), at the appropriate places insert— Schedule 55 to FA 2009 is amended as follows. Paragraph 6 (penalty for failure continuing 12 months after penalty date) is amended as follows.

Information is category 1 information if— it is information which would enable or assist HMRC to assess P's liability to income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax. If the liability to tax which would have been shown in the return is a liability to inheritance tax, assets are treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) as situated or held in a territory outside the UK if they are so situated or held immediately after the transfer of value by reason of which inheritance tax becomes chargeable. Information “involves an offshore transfer” if— it is information which would enable or assist HMRC to assess P's liability to income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax, by failing to make the return, P deliberately withholds the information (whether or not the withholding of the information is also concealed), and In sub-paragraph (5), for the words following “if” substitute “ it does not involve an offshore matter or an offshore transfer ”. Where the liability to tax which would have been shown in the return is a liability to income tax, the applicable condition is satisfied if the income on or by reference to which the tax is charged, or any part of the income— is transferred before the relevant date to a territory outside the UK. Where the liability to tax which would have been shown in the return is a liability to capital gains tax, the applicable condition is satisfied if the proceeds of the disposal on or by reference to which the tax is charged, or any part of the proceeds— are transferred before the relevant date to a territory outside the UK. Where the liability to tax which would have been shown in the return is a liability to inheritance tax, the applicable condition is satisfied if— after that disposition but before the relevant date the assets, or any part of the assets, are transferred to a territory outside the UK. In relation to an offshore transfer, the territory in question for the purposes of paragraph 6A is the highest category of territory by virtue of which the information involves an offshore transfer. “Relevant date” means the date on which P becomes liable to a penalty under paragraph 6. In paragraph 15 (standard percentage reductions for disclosure), in the Table in sub-paragraph (2), at the appropriate places insert— In paragraph 17(4) (interaction with other penalties and late payment surcharges), omit the “and” at the end of paragraph (b) and after that paragraph insert— if one of the penalties is a penalty under paragraph 6(3) or (4) and the information withheld is category 1 information, 125%, and In Schedule 43C to FA 2013 (general anti-abuse rule: supplementary provision about penalty), sub-paragraph (6) of paragraph 8 is amended as follows.

In sub-paragraph (d) for “none of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) applies” substitute “none of paragraphs (a) to (c) applies. Section 212(5) of FA 2014 (follower notices: aggregate penalties) is amended as follows. paragraph 4(2)(c) of Schedule 24 to FA 2007, paragraph 6(2)(a) of Schedule 41 to FA 2008, or paragraph 6(3A)(a) of Schedule 55 to FA 2009, In paragraph (c), for “neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) applies” substitute “ none of paragraphs (a) to (ba) applies ”. In paragraph (d), for “none of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) applies” substitute “ none of paragraphs (a) to (c) applies ”. A penalty is payable by a person (“P”) where Conditions A, B and C are met. P is liable for a penalty specified in paragraph 2 (“the original penalty”), and where the original penalty is a penalty specified in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of paragraph 2, the original penalty is for a deliberate failure (see paragraph 3). Condition B is that there is a relevant offshore asset move (see paragraph 4) which occurs after the relevant time (see paragraph 5). the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the relevant offshore asset move is to prevent or delay the discovery by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) of a potential loss of revenue, and the original penalty relates to an inaccuracy or failure which relates to the same potential loss of revenue. The penalties referred to in paragraph 1(2) are— a penalty under paragraph 1 of Schedule 24 to FA 2007 (penalty for error in taxpayer's document) in relation to an inaccuracy in a document of a kind listed in the Table in paragraph 1 of that Schedule, where the tax at stake is income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax, a penalty under paragraph 1 of Schedule 41 to FA 2008 (penalty for failure to notify etc) in relation to the obligation under section 7 of TMA 1970 (obligation to give notice of liability to income tax or capital gains tax), ... a penalty under paragraph 6 of Schedule 55 to FA 2009 (penalty for failures to make return etc where failure continues after 12 months), where the tax at stake is income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax ,and a penalty under paragraph 1 of Schedule 18 to FA 2017 (requirement to correct relevant offshore tax non-compliance) , and a penalty under paragraph 3 of Schedule 25 to FA 2021 (penalties for deliberately withholding information), where the tax at stake is income tax or capital gains tax. The original penalty is for a “deliberate failure” if— in the case of a penalty within paragraph 2(a), the inaccuracy to which it relates was deliberate on P's part (whether or not concealed); in the case of a penalty within paragraph 2(b), the failure by P was deliberate (whether or not concealed); in the case of a penalty within paragraph 2(c), the withholding of the information, resulting from the failure to make the return, is deliberate (whether or not concealed). in the case of a penalty within paragraph 2(d), P was aware at any time during the RTC period that at the end of the 2016-17 tax year P had relevant offshore tax non-compliance to correct; and terms used in paragraph (d) have the same meaning as in Schedule 18 to FA 2017. There is a “relevant offshore asset move” if, at a time when P is the beneficial owner of an asset (“the qualifying time”)— the asset ceases to be situated or held in a specified territory and becomes situated or held in a non-specified territory, the person who holds the asset ceases to be resident in a specified territory and becomes resident in a non-specified territory, or there is a change in the arrangements for the ownership of the asset, and P remains the beneficial owner of the asset, or any part of it, immediately after the qualifying time. Whether a territory is a “specified territory” or “non-specified territory” is to be determined, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), as at the qualifying time. an asset of which P is the beneficial owner (“the original asset”) is disposed of, and all or part of any proceeds from the sale of the asset are (directly or indirectly) reinvested in another asset of which P is also the beneficial owner (“the new asset”), the original asset and the new asset are to be treated as the same asset for the purposes of determining whether there is a relevant offshore asset move. “Asset” has the meaning given in section 21(1) of TCGA 1992, but also includes sterling. “Specified territory” means a territory specified in regulations made by the Treasury by statutory instrument; and references to “non-specified territory” are to be construed accordingly. Regulations under sub-paragraph (5) are subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons. “The relevant time” has the meaning given by this paragraph. Where the original penalty is under Schedule 24 to FA 2007, the relevant time is— if the tax at stake as a result of the inaccuracy is income tax or capital gains tax, the beginning of the tax year to which the document containing the inaccuracy relates, and if the tax at stake as a result of the inaccuracy is inheritance tax, the time when liability to the tax first arises. Where the original penalty is for a failure to comply with an obligation specified in the table in paragraph 1 of Schedule 41 of FA 2008, the relevant time is the beginning of the tax year to which that obligation relates. Where the original penalty is a penalty under paragraph 6 of Schedule 55 to FA 2009 for a failure to make a return or deliver a document specified in the table in paragraph 1 of Schedule 55 to FA 2009 that Schedule, the relevant time is— if the tax at stake is income tax or capital gains tax, the beginning of the tax year to which the return or document relates, and if the tax at stake is inheritance tax, the time when liability to the tax first arises. Where the original penalty is under paragraph 1 of Schedule 18 to FA 2017, the relevant time is the time when that Schedule comes into force. Where the original penalty is a penalty under paragraph 3 of Schedule 25 to FA 2021 for a failure to make a return or deliver a document specified in the table in paragraph 1 of that Schedule, the relevant time is, if the tax at stake is income tax or capital gains tax, the beginning of the tax year to which the return or document relates. The penalty payable under paragraph 1(1) is 50% of the amount of the original penalty payable by P. The penalty payable under paragraph 1(1) is not a penalty determined by reference to a liability to tax (despite the fact that the original penalty by reference to which it is calculated may be such a penalty). Where a person becomes liable for a penalty under paragraph 1(1), HMRC must— notify the person, and state in the notice the tax period in respect of which the penalty is assessed. A penalty under paragraph 1(1) must be paid before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which notification of the penalty is issued. An assessment— is to be treated for procedural purposes in the same way as an assessment to tax (except in respect of a matter expressly provided for by this Schedule), may be enforced as if it were an assessment to tax, and may be combined with an assessment to tax. An assessment of a penalty under paragraph 1(1) must be made within the same period as that allowed for the assessment of the original penalty. If, after an assessment of a penalty is made under this paragraph, HMRC amends the assessment, or makes a supplementary assessment, in respect of the original penalty, it must also at the same time amend the assessment, or make a supplementary assessment, in respect of the penalty under paragraph 1(1) to ensure that it is based on the correct amount of the original penalty. a reference to an assessment to tax, in relation to inheritance tax, is to a determination, and “tax period” means a tax year, accounting period or other period in respect of which tax is charged. A person may appeal against a decision of HMRC that a penalty is payable by the person. An appeal under this paragraph is to be treated in the same way as an appeal against an assessment to, or determination of, the tax concerned (including by the application of any provision about bringing the appeal by notice to HMRC, about HMRC review of the decision or about determination of the appeal by the First-tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal). Sub-paragraph (2) does not apply in respect of a matter expressly provided for by this Schedule. On an appeal under this paragraph, the tribunal may affirm or cancel HMRC's decision. This Schedule has effect in relation to relevant offshore asset moves occurring after the day on which this Act is passed. For the purposes of this Schedule, it does not matter if liability for the original penalty first arose on or before that day, unless the case is one to which sub-paragraph (3) applies. The original penalty is to be ignored if P's liability for it for arose before the day on which this Act is passed and before that day— if the original penalty was under Schedule 24 to FA 2007, any tax which was unpaid as a result of the inaccuracy has been assessed or determined; if the original penalty was under Schedule 41 to FA 2008 or Schedule 55 to FA 2009, the failure to which it related was remedied and any tax which was unpaid as a result of the failure has been assessed or determined.
