Chargeable gains 2 (1) For the purposes of the 1992 Act, the transfer of any assets effected by section 3 above shall be deemed to be for a consideration such that no gain or loss accrues to the transferor.

(4) For the purposes of the 1992 Act, any allowable losses accruing in any accounting period to the Central Board or to an existing bank shall, so far as they have not been allowed as a deduction from chargeable gains, be treated as allowable losses which accrued in that accounting period to the new holding company or, as the case may be, successor. 5 For the purposes of the Act of 1979, gains arising on the disposal by the Central Board of any shares or rights to shares in the new holding company shall not be chargeable gains.

(2) The transfer of any trading stock investment from an existing bank to its successor effected by section 3 above shall be treated, for the purposes of corporation tax, as not constituting a disposal of that investment by the bank; but on the disposal of any such investment by the successor, the gain or, as the case may be, loss accruing to the successor shall be calculated (for the purposes of corporation tax) as if the investment had been acquired by the successor for the same consideration as that for which it was acquired by the bank.
