(1) Subsection (2) below shall apply where a disposal of an asset is made otherwise than under a bargain at arm’s length— (a) to a charity or a registered club, or (b) to any bodies mentioned in Schedule 3 to the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 (gifts for national purposes, etc) and the disposal is not one in relation to which section 151A(1) has effect. (2) Sections 17(1) and 258(3) shall not apply; but if the disposal is by way of gift (including a gift in settlement) or for a consideration not exceeding the sums allowable as a deduction under section 38, then— (a) the disposal and acquisition shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as being made for such consideration as to secure that neither a gain nor a loss accrues on the disposal, and (b) where, after the disposal, the asset is disposed of by the person who acquired it under the disposal, its acquisition by the person making the earlier disposal shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as the acquisition of the person making the later disposal. (2A) Subsection (2B) applies if relief is available under Chapter 3 of Part 8 of ITA 2007 or as a result of Chapter 3 of Part 6 of CTA 2010 (gifts of shares, securities and real property to charities) in relation to the disposal of a qualifying investment to a charity (whether or not a claim for relief is actually made). (2B) The consideration for which the charity's acquisition of the qualifying investment is treated by virtue of subsection (2) above as having been made— (a) is reduced by the relievable amount within the meaning of Chapter 3 of Part 8 of ITA 2007 if relief in relation to the disposal is available only under that Chapter, (b) is reduced by the relievable amount within the meaning of Chapter 3 of Part 6 of CTA 2010 if relief in relation to the disposal is available only as a result of that Chapter, (c) is reduced by the relievable amount within the meaning of Chapter 3 of Part 8 of ITA 2007 if relief in relation to the disposal is available both under that Chapter and as a result of Chapter 3 of Part 6 of CTA 2010 because of section 442 of ITA 2007 and section 214 of CTA 2010, or (d) is reduced to nil if that consideration is less than the amount referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) (as the case may be). (2C) In subsections (2A) and (2B)— “qualifying investment” has the same meaning as in Chapter 3 of Part 8 of ITA 2007 (see section 432 of that Act), . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3) Where— (a) otherwise than on the termination of a life interest (within the meaning of section 72) by the death of the person entitled thereto, any assets or parts of any assets forming part of settled property are, under section 71, deemed to be disposed of and reacquired by the trustee, and (b) the person becoming entitled as mentioned in section 71(1) is a charity, a registered club or a body mentioned in Schedule 3 to the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 (gifts for national purposes, etc), then, if no consideration is received by any person for or in connection with any transaction by virtue of which the charity, registered club or other body becomes so entitled, the disposal and reacquisition of the assets to which the charity, registered club or other body becomes so entitled shall, notwithstanding section 71, be treated for the purposes of this Act as made for such consideration as to secure that neither a gain nor a loss accrues on the disposal. (4) In subsection (2)(b) above the first reference to a disposal includes a disposal to which section 146(2) of the 1979 Act applied where the person who acquired the asset on that disposal disposes of the asset after the coming into force of this section.

257A Tainted charity donations

(1) Section 257 does not apply in relation to a relievable charity donation that becomes a tainted donation in the same tax year in which it is made. (2) Subsection (3) applies if— (a) a person makes a relievable charity donation in a tax year (“the donation year”), (b) the donation becomes a tainted donation in a later tax year (“the tainting year”), and (c) if the donation had become a tainted donation in the donation year, the liability to tax for the donation year of the person who made the donation would have been greater than it in fact was for the donation year. (3) The liability to tax for the tainting year of the person that made the donation is increased by an amount equal to the difference between— (a) the amount of tax for which the person would have been liable for the donation year had the donation become a tainted donation in the donation year, and (b) the amount of tax for which the person was in fact liable for the donation year. (4) Section 101 of FA 2009 (interest on CGT etc) has effect in relation to capital gains tax for which a person is liable by virtue of subsection (3) as though the tax had become due and payable on 1 February in the tax year following the donation year. (5) Section 87A of TMA 1970 (interest on overdue corporation tax etc) has effect in relation to corporation tax for which a company is liable by virtue of subsection (3) as though the tax had become due and payable on the day following the expiry of 9 months from the end of the accounting period of the company in which the donation mentioned in subsection (2)(a) was made. (6) In this section— “relievable charity donation” means a relievable charity donation within the meaning of Chapter 8 of Part 13 of ITA 2007 or Part 21C of CTA 2010; “tainted donation” means a tainted donation within the meaning of Chapter 8 of Part 13 of ITA 2007 or Part 21C of CTA 2010; “tax” means— in relation to a company, corporation tax on chargeable gains; otherwise, capital gains tax; and a reference to a donation “becoming” a tainted donation is to be read with section 809ZJ(1)(b) of ITA 2007 and 939C(1)(b) of CTA 2010. (7) In relation to any donation made by a company, references in this section to a tax year are to be read as references to an accounting period.

257B Associated donations in relation to tainted charity donations

(1) This section applies where— (a) a person makes a relievable charity donation that becomes a tainted donation, and (b) a person makes an associated donation in relation to the tainted donation. (2) If the donation mentioned in subsection (1)(a) becomes a tainted donation before the end of the tax year in which the associated donation is made, section 257 does not apply in relation to the associated donation. (3) Subsection (4) applies where— (a) the donation mentioned in subsection (1)(a) becomes a tainted donation after the end of the tax year in which the associated donation is made, and (b) if the donation had become a tainted donation before the end of that tax year, the liability to tax for that tax year of the person who made the associated donation would have been greater than it in fact was for that tax year. (4) The liability to tax of the person who made the associated donation, for the tax year in which the donation mentioned in subsection (1)(a) becomes a tainted donation, is increased by an amount equal to the difference between— (a) the amount of tax for which the person would have been liable for the tax year in which the associated donation was made had the donation mentioned in subsection (1)(a) become a tainted donation before the end of that tax year, and (b) the amount of tax for which the person was in fact liable for the tax year in which the associated donation was made. (5) Subsection (4) does not apply in relation to an associated donation if the person who makes the associated donation— (a) is already liable for tax by virtue of that subsection by reference to the tax year in which the associated donation was made, or (b) is liable for tax by virtue of section 257A(3) by reference to that tax year, and for that purpose the tax year “by reference to which” a person is liable for tax is the earlier tax year for which the person’s liability falls to be considered under (as the case may be) subsection (4)(a) and (b) or section 257A(3)(a) and (b). (6) Section 101 of FA 2009 (interest on CGT etc) has effect in relation to capital gains tax for which a person is liable by virtue of subsection (4) as though the tax had become due and payable on 1 February in the tax year following the tax year in which the associated donation was made. (7) Section 87A of TMA 1970 (interest on overdue corporation tax etc) has effect in relation to corporation tax for which a company is liable by virtue of subsection (4) as though the tax had become due and payable on the day following the expiry of 9 months from the end of the accounting period of the company in which the associated donation was made.

(1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1A) A gain is not a chargeable gain if it accrues on a disposal made in the circumstances described in paragraph 1 of Schedule 14 to the Finance Act 2012 (gifts to the nation). (2) A gain shall not be a chargeable gain if it accrues on the disposal of an asset which is property which has been or could be designated under section 31 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 (“the 1984 Act”) (designation and undertakings) and— (a) the disposal is by way of sale by private treaty to a body mentioned in Schedule 3 to the 1984 Act (museums, etc.), or is to such a body otherwise than by sale, or (b) the disposal is to the Board in pursuance of section 230 of the 1984 Act ... (acceptance of property in satisfaction of tax). (3) Subsection (4) below shall have effect in respect of the disposal of any asset which is property which has been or could be designated under section 31 of the 1984 Act, being— (a) a disposal by way of gift, including a gift in settlement, or (b) a disposal of settled property by the trustee on an occasion when, under section 71(1), the trustee is deemed to dispose of and immediately reacquire settled property (other than any disposal on which by virtue of section 73 no chargeable gain or allowable loss accrues to the trustee), if the requisite undertaking described in section 31 of the 1984 Act (maintenance, preservation and access) is given by such person as the Board think appropriate in the circumstances of the case. (4) The person making a disposal to which subsection (3) above applies and the person acquiring the asset on the disposal shall be treated for all the purposes of this Act as if the asset was acquired from the one making the disposal for a consideration of such an amount as would secure that on the disposal neither a gain nor a loss would accrue to the one making the disposal. (5) If— (a) there is a sale of the asset and inheritance tax is chargeable under section 32 of the 1984 Act (or would be chargeable if an inheritance tax undertaking as well as an undertaking under this section had been given), or (b) the Board are satisfied that at any time during the period for which any such undertaking was given it has not been observed in a material respect, the person selling that asset or, as the case may be, the owner of the asset shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as having sold the asset for a consideration equal to its market value, and, in the case of a failure to comply with the undertaking, having immediately reacquired it for a consideration equal to its market value. (6) The period for which an undertaking under this section is given shall be until the person beneficially entitled to the asset dies or it is disposed of, whether by sale or gift or otherwise; and if the asset subject to the undertaking is disposed of— (a) otherwise than on sale, and (b) without a further undertaking being given under this section, subsection (5) above shall apply as if the asset had been sold to an individual. References in this subsection to a disposal shall be construed without regard to any provision of this Act under which an asset is deemed to be disposed of. (7) Where under subsection (5) above a person is treated as having sold for a consideration equal to its market value any asset within section 31(1)(c), (d) or (e) of the 1984 Act, he shall also be treated as having sold and immediately reacquired for a consideration equal to its market value any asset associated with it; but the Board may direct that the preceding provisions of this subsection shall not have effect in any case in which it appears to them that the entity consisting of the asset and any assets associated with it has not been materially affected. For the purposes of this subsection 2 or more assets are associated with each other if one of them is a building falling within section 31(1)(c) of the 1984 Act and the other or others such land or objects as, in relation to that building, fall within section 31(1)(d) or (e) of the 1984 Act. (8) If in pursuance of subsection (5) above a person is treated as having on any occasion sold an asset and inheritance tax becomes chargeable on the same occasion, then, in determining the value of the asset for the purposes of that tax, an allowance shall be made for the capital gains tax chargeable on any chargeable gain accruing on that occasion. (8A) Section 35A of the 1984 Act (variation of undertakings) shall have effect in relation to an undertaking given under this section as it has effect in relation to an undertaking given under section 30 of that Act. (9) In this section “inheritance tax undertaking” means an undertaking under Chapter II of Part II or section 78 of, or Schedule 5 to, the 1984 Act.

(2) Section 17(1) shall not apply; but if the disposal is by way of gift or for a consideration not exceeding the sums allowable as a deduction under section 38, then— (a) the disposal and acquisition shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as being made for such consideration as to secure that neither a gain nor a loss accrues on the disposal, and (b) where, after the disposal, the estate or interest is disposed of by the relevant housing provider, its acquisition by the person making the earlier disposal shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as the acquisition of the relevant housing provider.

(1) If— (a) an individual or the trustees of a settlement (“the transferor”) make a disposal within subsection (2) below of an asset, (b) the asset is acquired by an individual or the trustees of a settlement (“the transferee”), and (c) a claim for relief under this section is made by the transferor and the transferee or, where the trustees of a settlement are the transferee, by the transferor alone, then, subject to subsection (6) below and sections 169, 169B, 169C, 261 and 261ZA, subsection (3) below shall apply in relation to the disposal. (2) A disposal is within this subsection if it is made otherwise than under a bargain at arm’s length and— (a) is a chargeable transfer within the meaning of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 (or would be but for section 19 of that Act) and is not a potentially exempt transfer (within the meaning of that Act), (b) is an exempt transfer by virtue of— (i) section 24 of that Act (transfers to political parties), (ii) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(3) Where this subsection applies in relation to a disposal— (a) the amount of any chargeable gain which, apart from this section, would accrue to the transferor on the disposal, and (b) the amount of the consideration for which, apart from this section, the transferee would be regarded for the purposes of capital gains tax as having acquired the asset in question, shall each be reduced by an amount equal to the held-over gain on the disposal. (4) Subject to subsection (5) below, the reference in subsection (3) above to the held-over gain on a disposal is a reference to the chargeable gain which would have accrued on that disposal apart from this section. (5) In any case where— (a) there is actual consideration (as opposed to the consideration equal to the market value which is deemed to be given by virtue of any provision of this Act) for a disposal in respect of which a claim for relief is made under this section, and (b) that actual consideration exceeds the sums allowable as a deduction under section 38, the held-over gain on the disposal shall be reduced by the excess referred to in paragraph (b) above ... . (6) Subsection (3) above does not apply in relation to a disposal of assets within section 115(1) on which a gain is deemed to accrue by virtue of section 116(10)(b). (6ZA) Subsections (6ZB) and (6ZC) apply in any case where— (a) the disposal is a direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition, and (b) the transferee is resident in the United Kingdom. (6ZB) Subsections (3) and (4) have effect in relation to the disposal as if the reference to “chargeable gain” were a reference to “so much of any gain accruing on the disposal as falls to be dealt with as mentioned in subsection (6ZD)(a) or (b)”. (6ZC) 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 “so much of the gain mentioned in subsection (6ZB) which, ignoring this section and section 17(1), would accrue to the transferor on the disposal”. (6ZD) For the purposes of subsections (6ZA) to (6ZC) a disposal is a “direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition” if it is— (a) a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 1A(3) because the asset disposed of is within paragraph (b) or (c) of that subsection, or (b) a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 1A(1) in accordance with section 1G(2) because the asset disposed of is within section 1A(3)(b) or (c).

(9) Where subsection (3) above applies in relation to a disposal which is deemed to occur by virtue of section 71(1) or 72(1), subsection (5) above shall not apply. (10) Where a disposal is partly within subsection (2) above, or is a disposal within paragraph (f) of that subsection on which there is a reduced charge such as is mentioned in that paragraph, the preceding provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to an appropriate part of the disposal.

261ZA Gifts of direct or indirect interests in UK land to non-residents

(1) This section applies where the disposal in relation to which a claim could be made under section 260 is a disposal of an asset within section 1A(3)(b) or (c) to a transferee who is not resident in the United Kingdom and, ignoring section 260— (a) a gain would accrue to the transferor on the disposal, and (b) on the assumption that the disposal is a direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition (whether or not that is the case), that gain would be a relevant gain (see subsections (6) and (7)). (2) Section 260(3) has effect in relation to the disposal as if it read— (3) 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. (3) Where the disposal is a direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition— (a) 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 “relevant gain”, and (b) 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 relevant gain which, ignoring this section and section 17(1), would accrue to the transferor on the disposal”. (4) 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 asset within section 1A(3)(b) or (c) 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))— (a) is deemed to accrue to the transferee (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues on that subsequent disposal), and (b) (if that would not otherwise be the case) is to be treated as a relevant gain accruing on a direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition. (5) 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— (a) 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 (b) the reference in section 260(7)(b) to “the chargeable gain” were a reference to— (i) the chargeable gain (or, where the disposal is a direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition, the relevant gain) accruing on the disposal, and (ii) the held-over gain deemed to accrue under subsection (4). (6) For the purposes of this section, a disposal is a “direct or indirect disposal of UK land which meets the non-residence condition” if it is— (a) a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 1A(3) because the asset disposed of is within paragraph (b) or (c) of that subsection, or (b) a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 1A(1) in accordance with section 1G(2) because the asset disposed of is within section 1A(3)(b) or (c). (7) For the purposes of this section, a “relevant gain” means so much of any chargeable gain accruing on a disposal as falls to be dealt with as mentioned in subsection (6)(a) or (b).

261B Treating trade loss etc as CGT loss

(1) A person may make a claim under this section if— (a) relief is available to the person under section 64 or 128 of ITA 2007 (trade or employment loss relief against general income) for a tax year in relation to an amount of loss, and (b) the person makes a claim under that section for the amount to be deducted in calculating the person's net income for the tax year. (2) A person may also make a claim under this section if— (a) relief is available to the person as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) for a tax year in relation to an amount of loss, but (b) the person's total income for the tax year is nil or does not include any income from which the amount can be deducted. (3) A claim under this section is for determining so much of the amount of the loss (“the relevant amount”) as— (a) is not deducted in calculating the person's net income for the tax year, and (b) has not already been taken into account for the purposes of any relief for any other tax year or any year of assessment (whether under ITA 2007, this section or otherwise). (4) When the relevant amount can no longer be varied— (a) by the tribunal on appeal, or (b) on the order of a court, it is treated for the purposes of capital gains tax as an allowable loss accruing to the person in the year of assessment corresponding to the tax year. (5) But so much of the relevant amount as exceeds the maximum amount (see section 261C) is not to be treated for the purposes of capital gains tax as an allowable loss. (6) The excess may, however, be used in giving effect to any other loss relief under Part 4 of ITA 2007 (depending on the terms of the relief). (7) The amount treated as an allowable loss under this section— (a) is no longer to be regarded as an amount available for income tax relief, and (b) is not to be deductible from chargeable gains accruing to a person in any year of assessment that begins after the person has permanently ceased to carry on the trade, profession, vocation, employment or office in which the loss was made. (8) A claim under this section must be made on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year in which the loss was made in the trade, profession, vocation, employment or office. (9) In this section “normal self-assessment filing date”, “tax year” and “total income” have the same meaning as in the Income Tax Acts (see section 989 of ITA 2007).

(2) A person may also make a claim under this section if— (a) relief is available to the person as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) for a tax year in relation to an amount, but (b) the person's total income for the tax year is nil. (3) A claim under this section is for treating for the purposes of capital gains tax so much of the amount as is not deducted in calculating the person's net income for the tax year (“the relevant amount”) as an allowable loss accruing to the person in the year of assessment corresponding to the tax year. (4) But so much of the relevant amount as exceeds the maximum amount (see section 261E) is not to be treated for the purposes of capital gains tax as an allowable loss. (5) The relevant amount is no longer to be regarded as an amount available for income tax relief.

(2) Subject to the following provisions of this section and sections 263C(2) and 263CA(3) and (5), the disposals and acquisitions made in pursuance of any stock lending arrangement shall be disregarded for the purposes of capital gains tax. (3) Where— (a) the borrower under any stock lending arrangement disposes of any securities transferred to him under the arrangement, (b) that disposal is made otherwise than in the discharge of the requirement for the transfer of securities back to the lender, and (c) that requirement, so far as it relates to the securities disposed of, has been or will be discharged by the transfer of securities other than those transferred to the borrower, any question relating to the acquisition of the securities disposed of shall be determined (without prejudice to the provisions of Chapter I of Part IV) as if the securities disposed of were the securities with which that requirement (so far as relating to the securities disposed of) has been or will be discharged.

263CA Stock lending: insolvency etc of borrower

(1) This section applies where, in the case of any stock lending arrangement— (a) the borrower (B) becomes insolvent after the lender (L) has transferred the securities, (b) as a result of the insolvency, the requirement for B to make a transfer back to L will not be complied with as regards some or all of the securities, (c) collateral is used (whether directly or indirectly) to enable L to acquire securities (“replacement securities”) of the same description as the securities which will not be transferred back, and (d) the replacement securities are acquired before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which B becomes insolvent (“the insolvency date”). (2) In accordance with section 263B(2), the transfer of the securities under the arrangement is not to be regarded as a disposal by L for the purposes of this Act (but this is subject to subsection (5)). (3) B is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as having acquired the securities which will not be transferred back to L; and that acquisition is to be treated— (a) as being made on the insolvency date, and (b) as being for a consideration equal to their market value on that date. (4) The acquisition of the replacement securities is to be treated, as regards L, as if it were a transfer back of securities in accordance with the arrangement (so that, in accordance with section 263B(2), that acquisition is not regarded as an acquisition by L for the purposes of this Act). (5) If the number of replacement securities is less than the number of securities which B is treated as having acquired, L is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as having made a disposal, at the insolvency date, of the difference (“the deemed disposal”). (6) The consideration for the deemed disposal is— (a) where all the collateral is used to enable L to acquire replacement securities, nil, and (b) where not all the collateral is so used, the difference between— (i) the market value (at the insolvency date) of the number of securities which could have been acquired using the collateral, and (ii) the market value (at that date) of the number of securities which were in fact so acquired. (7) But if L at any time receives any amount (whether arising out of B's insolvency or otherwise) in respect of B's liability to L in respect of the securities which are treated under subsection (5) as having been disposed of by L that amount is to be treated as a chargeable gain accruing at that time to L. (8) The liability mentioned in subsection (7) is not to be treated as giving rise to a relevant non-lending relationship for the purposes of Part 6 of CTA 2009 (relationships treated as loan relationships etc). (9) For the purposes of this section, B becomes insolvent— (a) if a company voluntary arrangement takes effect under Part 1 of the Insolvency Act 1986, (b) if an administration application (within the meaning of Schedule B1 to that Act) is made or a receiver or manager, or an administrative receiver, is appointed, (c) on the commencement of a creditor's voluntary winding up (within the meaning of Part 4 of that Act) or a winding up by the court under Chapter 6 of that Part, (d) if an individual voluntary arrangement takes effect under Part 8 of that Act, (e) on bankruptcy application made or the presentation of a bankruptcy petition (within the meaning of Part 9 of that Act), (f) if a compromise or arrangement takes effect under Part 26 or 26A of the Companies Act 2006, (g) if a bank insolvency order takes effect under Part 2 of the Banking Act 2009, (h) if a bank administration order takes effect under Part 3 of that Act, or (i) on the occurrence of any corresponding event which has effect under or as a result of the law of Scotland or Northern Ireland or a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. (10) In this section— (a) “collateral” means an amount of money or other property which— (i) is provided under the arrangement (or under arrangements of which the arrangement forms part), and (ii) is payable to or made available for the benefit of L for the purpose of securing the discharge of the requirement to transfer any or all of the securities back to L, and (b) any expression used in this section and in section 263B has the same meaning as in that section.

(2) Condition A is that the person making the disposal (and no-one else) has the right or obligation under the arrangement to acquire the asset disposed of by that disposal at any subsequent time (whether or not the right or obligation is subject to any conditions). (3) Condition B is that— (a) the asset disposed of by that disposal will subsequently cease to exist at any time, and (b) it is intended that that asset will be held by the lender, or a person connected with the lender, from the time of the disposal until that time.
