882 Application of this Part to assets created or acquired on or after 1 April 2002

(1) The general rule is that this Part applies to an intangible fixed asset of a company (“the company”) only if one or more of the conditions in subsections (1A) to (1D) is met. (1A) The condition in this subsection is that the asset is created by the company on or after 1 April 2002. (1B) The condition in this subsection is that the asset is acquired by the company during the period beginning with 1 April 2002 and ending with 30 June 2020 and either— (a) it is acquired from a person who at the time of the acquisition is not a related party in relation to the company, or (b) it is acquired in case A (in subsection (3)), case B (in subsection (4)) or case C (in subsection (5)) from a person who at the time of the acquisition is a related party in relation to the company. (1C) The condition in this subsection is that the asset is acquired by the company on or after 1 July 2020. (1D) The condition in this subsection is that the asset is held by the company immediately before 1 July 2020 and at that time the company is not within the charge to corporation tax in respect of the asset. (1E) But the condition in subsection (1D) is to be treated as not met if— (a) at any time during the period beginning with 19 March 2020 and ending with 30 June 2020 the asset is a pre-FA 2002 asset in the hands of any company that is within the charge to corporation tax in respect of the asset, and (b) after that time but during that period the asset is not acquired by any other company from a person who at the time of the acquisition is not a related party in relation to that other company. (2) For provisions explaining when assets are treated as created or acquired, see sections 883 to 889. (3) Case A is where the asset is acquired from a company in relation to which the asset was a chargeable intangible asset immediately before the acquisition. (4) Case B is where the asset is acquired from a person (“the intermediary”) who acquired the asset on or after 1 April 2002 from a third person— (a) who was not at the time of the intermediary's acquisition a related party in relation— (i) to the intermediary, or (ii) if the intermediary was not a company, to a company in relation to which the intermediary was a related party, and (b) who is not, at the time of the acquisition by the company, a related party in relation to the company. (5) Case C is where the asset was created on or after 1 April 2002 by the person from whom it is acquired or any other person. (5A) References in this section to one person being (or not being) a related party in relation to another person are to be read as including references to the participation condition being met (or, as the case may be, not met) as between those persons. (5B) References in subsection (5A) to a person include a firm in a case where, for section 1259 purposes, references in this section to a company are read as references to the firm. (5C) In subsection (5B) “section 1259 purposes” means the purposes of determining under section 1259 the amount of profits or losses to be allocated to a partner in a firm. (5D) Section 148 of TIOPA 2010 (when the participation condition is met) applies for the purposes of subsection (5A) as it applies for the purposes of section 147(1)(b) of TIOPA 2010. (6) The general rule in subsection (1) is subject to— (a) section 890 (fungible assets: application of section 858), (b) section 892 (certain assets acquired on transfer of a business), (c) section 893 (assets whose value derives from pre-FA 2002 assets), (d) section 895 (assets acquired in connection with disposals of pre-FA 2002 assets), (e) section 897 (application to pre-FA 2002 assets consisting of telecommunication rights), (f) sections 898 and 899 (application of roll-over relief in relation to some pre-FA 2002 assets), and (g) section 905 (pre-FA 2002 assets: Lloyd's syndicate capacity). (7) This section does not restrict the application of this Part in accordance with section 896 (application to royalties) (but see section 896(3)).
