Bogota's unregulated subdivisions : the myths and realities of incremental housing construction

Except as provided by sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) below, no payment shall be deductible under sections 72 and 73 of this Act if made before the beginning of the year 1964-65. Where, by virtue of paragraph 11 of Schedule 4 to the Finance Act 1963 as amended by section 16(2) of the Finance Act 1965 (excess of maintenance etc. costs during five years ending 5th April 1964 over available reliefs), any amount fell to be treated as a payment in relation to premises made by a person in the year 1964-65 in respect of dilapidation attributable to that year, the amount shall be similarly treated for the purposes of the said sections 72 and 73. If, in respect of any payment such as is mentioned in subsection (1) of the said section 72 made by a person in relation to any premises before the beginning of the year 1964-65, a loss was carried forward to that year by virtue of section 346 of the Income Tax Act 1952 (relief in respect of losses under Case VI of Schedule D) the amount of the loss shall be treated for the purposes of the said sections 72 and 73 as if it were a like payment made by that person in respect of the premises in, and in respect of, that year. A deduction falling to be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) above shall be made notwithstanding anything in section 176(3) or 179(1) of this Act (Case VI losses for income tax and corporation tax respectively: relief to be given as far as possible from the first subsequent Case VI assessment); and relief shall not be given under either of those sections in respect of the loss insofar as a deduction in respect of it is made under this paragraph.

Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, no payment shall be deductible under section 74 of this Act if made before the beginning of the year 1964-65. Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not prevent the deduction of a payment in so far as a loss in respect thereof was carried forward to the year 1964-65 by virtue of section 346 of the Income Tax Act 1952 (relief in respect of losses under Case VI of Schedule D). Paragraph 1(4) above shall apply in the case of a deduction falling to be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (2) above as it applies in the case of one falling to be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) of that paragraph.

Section 76 of this Act shall apply in relation to expenditure in respect of which an allowance under section 94(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act 1952 would, but for its repeal, have fallen to be made in respect of any premises for the year 1964-65 as if the expenditure had been incurred in the year of assessment following that in which it was actually incurred and, so far as it was incurred in repairing an embankment, had been incurred in making it: Provided that if, by reason of a claim made under the proviso to paragraph 16(3) of Schedule 4 to the Finance Act 1963, any expenditure incurred before the beginning of the year 1964-65 in repairing an embankment fell to be treated for the purposes of that Schedule as if it had been an amount paid by the claimant, in and in respect of that year, in respect of the maintenance of the premises preserved or protected by the embankment, the expenditure shall be similarly treated for the purposes of sections 71 to 77 of this Act. Subject as aforesaid, the said section 76 shall not apply to expenditure incurred before the beginning of the year 1964-65.

No part of any payment made as an instalment, or part of an instalment, of an annuity within the meaning of the Tithe Acts 1936 and 1951 shall be included among the deductions allowable under sections 71 to 77 of this Act.

Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, in computing profits or gains under Case I of Schedule D, animals kept by a fanner for the purposes of his fanning shall be treated as trading stock. Animals forming part of production herds with respect to which an election under paragraph 2 below has effect shall not be so treated, but shall be treated instead in accordance with the rules set out in paragraph 3 below. An election under the said paragraph 2 is in this Schedule referred to as " an election for the herd basis ".

An election for the herd basis shall apply to all production herds of a particular class kept by the farmer making the election, including herds which he has ceased to keep before the making of the election, or first begins to keep after the making thereof. An election for the herd basis must be made in writing to the inspector, and must specify the class of herds to which it relates. Subject to paragraph 6 below, an election for the herd basis shall be valid only if it is made not later than two years after the end of the first chargeable period for which the farmer making the election is chargeable under Case I of Schedule D to tax in respect of the profits or gains of his farming, or is given relief under section 168 or 177(2) of this Act (set off of trading losses against general income) in respect of his farming, being profits or gains or relief the amount of which is computed by reference to the facts of a period during the whole or some part of which the farmer kept a production herd of the class in question. An election for the herd basis shall be irrevocable and, subject to paragraph 6 below, shall have effect for the said first chargeable period and all subsequent chargeable periods.

Where an election for the herd basis has effect, the consequences for the purpose of computing profits or gains under Case I of Schedule D shall be as provided by this paragraph. The initial cost of the herd and, subject to the provisions of this paragraph as to replacements, the cost of any animal added to the herd shall not be deducted as an expense, and the value of the herd shall not be brought into account. Where an animal which has theretofore been treated as part of the farmer's trading stock is added to the herd otherwise than by way of replacement, there shall be included as a trading receipt— Where the herd is sold as a whole, and another production herd of the same class is acquired, sub-paragraphs (1) to (4) above shall apply as though there had been sold from the original herd, and replaced therein, a number of animals equal to the number in the original herd or in the newly acquired herd, whichever is the less. If an animal forming part of the herd is sold, and neither sub-paragraph (4) nor (5) nor (6) above applies, any profit or loss arising from the transaction shall be included or deducted, as the case may be ; and for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, the said profit or loss shall be computed by comparing with the proceeds of sale— Where the herd is sold as a whole, and another production herd of the same class is acquired, and the number of animals in the newly acquired herd is less than the number in the original herd, then, if the difference is not substantial, sub-paragraph (6) above shall not apply, and sub-paragraph (7) above shall apply to a number of animals in the original herd equal to the difference. The preceding provisions of this paragraph shall apply in relation to the death or destruction of animals as they apply in relation to their sale, as if any insurance or compensation moneys received by reason of the death or destruction were proceeds of sale, and any reference in this paragraph to the proceeds of sale of an animal includes a reference to any proceeds of sale of its carcase or any part thereof.

A farmer who, having kept a production herd of a particular class, ceases altogether to keep herds of that class for a period of at least five years shall, as respects production herds kept by him after the end of that period, be treated as if he had never kept any production herds of that class before the end of that period.

Where a farmer transfers to another person all or any of the animals which form part of a production herd otherwise than by way of sale, or by way of sale but for a price other than that which they would have fetched if sold in the open market, and either— the like consequences shall ensue, in relation to all persons concerned, for the purpose of computing profits or gains under Case I of Schedule D as would have ensued if the animals had been sold for the price which they would have fetched if sold in the open market. In this paragraph " body of persons " includes a partnership, and " control" has the meaning given by section 534 of this Act.

Where the whole or a substantial part of a production herd kept by a farmer for the purposes of his fanning is slaughtered by the order of any Ministry, government department or local or public authority under the law relating to diseases of animals in such circumstances that compensation is payable in respect of it, an election for the herd basis thereupon made by the farmer in relation to that herd and any other production herds of the same class so kept by him shall, subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, be valid notwithstanding that it is not made within the time required by paragraph 2(3) of this Schedule. An election for the herd basis made by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above shall only be valid if made not later than two years after the end of the first chargeable period for which the tax chargeable on the farmer in respect of the profits or gains of his farming finally falls to be computed by reference to the facts of a period in which the compensation is relevant: Provided that, for income tax (but not corporation tax) purposes, if that chargeable period is the second year of assessment within the meaning of section 117 of this Act (basis of assessment for second and third years after commencement), and notice is given under subsection (2) of that section, the election shall be valid if made not later than the giving of that notice. An election for the herd basis made by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) above shall, notwithstanding paragraph 2(4) of this Schedule, have effect only for the chargeable period mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above and subsequent chargeable periods: Provided that, for income tax (but not corporation tax) purposes, the election shall have effect for earlier chargeable periods for the purposes of any claim under section 168 of this Act (set off of trading losses against general income) which is made by the farmer for relief in respect of his farming, if the relief falls to be computed wholly or partly by reference to the facts of a period in which the compensation is relevant. For the purposes of this paragraph, compensation shall be deemed to be relevant in any period if, but only if, it falls (or would but for an election under this paragraph fall) to be taken into account as a trading receipt in computing the profits or gains or losses of that or an earlier period.

Nothing in this Schedule applies to any animals kept wholly or mainly for the work they do in connection with the carrying on of the farming.

In this Schedule " herd " includes a flock, and any other collection of animals, however named. For the purposes of this Schedule, immature animals kept in a herd shall not be treated as forming part of the herd unless— and references in this Schedule to herds shall be construed accordingly, and references therein to an animal being added to a herd include references to an immature animal which is kept in the herd becoming a mature animal: Provided that not more immature animals shall in any case be treated as forming part of a herd than are required to prevent a fall in the numbers of the herd. Female animals shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as becoming mature when they produce their first young. In this Schedule " a production herd" means, in relation to a farmer, a herd of animals of the same species (irrespective of breed) kept by him wholly or mainly for the sake of the products which they produce for him to sell, being products obtainable from the living animal. In this sub-paragraph "product obtainable from the living animal" means— For the purposes of this Schedule, production herds kept by a fanner shall be deemed to be of the same class if, and only if, all the animals kept in the herds are of the same species (irrespective of breed) and the products produced for him to sell for the sake of which (either wholly or mainly) the herds are kept by him are of the same kinds in the case of all the herds ; and elections for the herd basis shall be framed accordingly. Any reference in this Schedule to profits or gains chargeable to tax under Schedule D includes a reference to profits or gains which would be so chargeable if there were any such profits or gains for the chargeable period in question.

The preceding provisions of this Schedule shall, with the necessary adaptations, apply in relation to trades other than farming, and trades consisting only in part of farming, as they apply in relation to fanning, and references to fanners shall be construed accordingly. The said provisions (both in relation to farming and in relation to other trades) shall apply in relation to living creatures other than animals as they apply in relation to animals. Laying birds shall be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as becoming mature when they first lay. The provisions of this Schedule shall (both in relation to farming and in relation to other trades) apply, with the necessary adaptations, in relation to animals or other creatures kept singly as they apply in relation to herds. Nothing in this Schedule shall apply in relation to any animal or other creature kept wholly or mainly for public exhibition, or for racing or other competitive purposes.

Where an election for the herd basis is made, every person carrying on any farming or other trade affected by the election shall, if required to do so by notice from the inspector, make and deliver to the inspector, within the time specified in the notice, such returns as to, and as to the products of, the animals or other creatures kept by him for the purposes of the trade as may be required by the notice.

Where an election for the herd basis has effect for any chargeable period after an assessment for that period has become final and conclusive, any such assessment or, on a claim therefor, repayment of tax shall be made as may be necessary to give effect to the election

Save as provided by paragraph 2 below, a person's acquisition or disposal of an asset by a contract in that behalf shall be disregarded for the purposes of Case VII if— Where a person disposes of an asset, and the whole or part of the consideration is irrecoverable, the amount irrecoverable shall be disregarded in so far as it is not realised by the disposal in whole or in part of the right to the consideration ; and if the consideration is abated for any error in or default under the contract, Chapter VIII of Part VI of this Act shall apply as if the abated consideration had originally been contracted for. If, in the case of a conditional contract to acquire or dispose of an asset, the condition is satisfied (and, in particular, if in the case of a contract conferring an option the option is exercised), then, subject to sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) below, the acquisition or disposal of the asset by the contract shall be treated as taking place at the time when the condition is satisfied. If the disposal of an asset by a conditional contract is made for a consideration not depending wholly or mainly on the value of the asset at the time the condition is satisfied, the contract shall in relation to the disposal be treated (on the condition being satisfied) as if it had never been conditional. Where a contract for the disposal of an asset is discharged by mutual consent, but is replaced by a new contract for its disposal to the same person or to another in his place, the disposal by the new contract shall be treated as if it had taken place at the time when the disposal by the previous contract is to be treated as having taken place, and, if the previous contract was a conditional contract, the condition shall for that purpose be treated as satisfied by the making of the new contract. Nothing in sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) above shall apply in relation to a contract entered into before 10th April 1962.

Subject to paragraph 21 of this Schedule, a person acquiring a right under a subsisting contract to acquire or dispose of an asset shall be treated as thereby acquiring or disposing of the asset to the like extent as if he had then entered into a new contract conferring that right (his undertaking the obligations under the subsisting contract not being treated as consideration given by him for the acquisition of the right, but any consideration so given being treated, in relation to his acquisition and disposal of the asset, as an expense of acquiring or disposing of it). Notwithstanding anything in section 162(1) of this Act, a person disposing of the right under a subsisting contract to acquire or dispose of an asset shall not be treated as thereby disposing of the asset nor, in a case not within sub-paragraph (3) below, as having acquired or disposed of it by that contract. Subject to paragraph 21 of this Schedule, where a person disposes of an asset to another subject to and with the benefit of any subsisting contract for its disposal to a third person, then, if the contract is not conditional or the condition is satisfied at the time of the later disposal— A person's right under a contract entered into by him to acquire or dispose of an asset shall, in relation to any disposal by him of that right, be treated as having been acquired by him on the making of the contract for any consideration given by him for having that right (other than his agreement to acquire or dispose of the asset); and where a person gives any consideration to be discharged from a contract to acquire or dispose of an asset, the person to whom it is given shall be treated as disposing for that consideration of his right under the contract to dispose of or acquire the asset. Where a person dies after entering into a conditional contract for the acquisition or disposal of an asset (the condition not being satisfied at the time of his death), then—

Where a person resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom either— then, so far as relates to the interest taken by the donee, the donee shall be treated as if the donor's acquisition of the asset had been his acquisition of it. Where, in a case not falling within sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (1)(b) above, a person resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom disposes by way of gift of an asset acquired or to be acquired by him, and the donee is also resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, then, on an election being made in that behalf— An election under sub-paragraph (2) above shall be made by the donor and donee jointly, except that it may be made by the donee alone if the donor would not, apart from that sub-paragraph, be chargeable to tax under Case VII in respect of the gain (if any) treated as accruing to him from his acquisition and disposal of the asset. A person shall not be chargeable under Case VII in respect of any acquisition and disposal by reference to a disposal made to any charity if the disposal is by way of gift for the purposes of the charity. In this sub-paragraph "charity" means any body of persons or trust established for charitable purposes only.

Section 162(4) of this Act and paragraph 3 above shall apply in relation to a gift in settlement as a gift to the trustees of the settlement, and shall so apply notwithstanding that the settlor is one of the trustees, or the sole trustee, of the settlement; but if the settlor or the settlor's wife or husband has, or can by any means (whether or not requiring any consent or concurrence) obtain for the settlor or for the settlor's wife or husband any beneficial interest in the settled property or the income from it, no loss treated as accruing to the settlor by reason of the gift in settlement shall be allowable under Case VII. Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where under a settlement a person becomes absolutely entitled as against the trustee to settled property (whether alone or jointly with another), he shall be chargeable by reference to any subsequent disposal of the property by him as if its acquisition by the trustees had been his acquisition of it. Where for a consideration in money or money's worth a person becomes absolutely entitled as against the trustee to settled property, or two or more persons jointly become so entitled, either by the exercise of a power of appointment under the settlement or by acquiring the interests of persons who were together so entitled and acted in concert in disposing of their interests to him or them, then, notwithstanding anything in section 163(4) of this Act—

Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, where a person resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom disposes otherwise than by way of bargain at arm's length (but not by way of gift) of an asset acquired or to be acquired by him so that there is an acquisition and disposal of the asset by him, and the person acquiring the asset on that disposal is also resident and ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, then, on an election being made in that behalf, the person disposing of the asset and the person acquiring it on that disposal shall be treated as doing so for a consideration equal to whichever is the higher of— Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply so as to increase the amount of the consideration for which those persons are respectively treated as disposing of and acquiring the asset. An election under this paragraph shall be made jointly by the person disposing of the asset and the person acquiring it, except that an election may be made by the person disposing of the asset alone if the person acquiring it would not, on disposing of it, be chargeable to tax under Case VII in respect of the gain (if any) accruing to him from his acquisition and disposal of it. In a case falling within section 162(4)(b) of this Act, the amount referred to in paragraph (b) of sub-paragraph (1) above shall be taken to be higher than the actual consideration referred to in paragraph (a) of that sub-paragraph. This paragraph shall not apply to a disposal of assets by a company by way of distribution in respect of shares in the company.

Where, in the case of a man and his wife living with him, the man disposes of an asset acquired or to be acquired by him to the wife, or the wife disposes of an asset acquired or to be acquired by her to the man, then— Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply in relation to a disposal of an asset if, until the disposal, the asset formed part of the trading stock of a trade carried on by the one making the disposal, or if the asset is acquired as trading stock for the purposes of a trade carried on by the one acquiring it. Where a person disposes of an asset to a company of which he has control, no loss accruing to him from the acquisition and disposal of the asset shall be allowable under Case VII otherwise than by deduction from any gain accruing on the disposal of assets to the company while he has control of it; and, for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, an individual shall be treated as having control of a company if the individual's wife or husband has control of it, or if they together have control of it.

Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where an asset acquired by a person otherwise than as trading stock of a trade carried on by him is appropriated by him for the purposes of the trade as trading stock (whether on the commencement of the trade or otherwise) and, if he had then sold the asset for its market value, a gain or loss chargeable or allowable under Case VII would have accrued to him, he shall be treated as having thereby disposed of the asset by selling it for its then market value. Where an asset forming part of the trading stock of a person's trade is appropriated by him for any other purpose, or is retained by him on his ceasing to carry on the trade, he shall be treated as having acquired it for a consideration equal to the amount brought into the accounts of the trade in respect of it for tax purposes on the appropriation or on his ceasing to carry on the trade, as the case may be. Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not apply in relation to a person's appropriation of an asset for the purposes of a trade if he is chargeable to tax in respect of the profits of the trade under Case I of Schedule D and elects that, instead, the market value of the asset at the time of the appropriation shall, in computing the profits of the trade for the purposes of tax, be treated as reduced by the amount of the gain, or increased by the amount of the loss, referred to in that sub-paragraph; and where that sub-paragraph does not apply by reason of such an election, the profits of the trade shall be computed accordingly: Provided that if a person making an election under this sub-paragraph is at the time of the appropriation carrying on the trade in partnership with others, the election shall not have effect unless concurred in by the others.

Subject to paragraph 9 below, where a person disposes of shares, the shares disposed of shall be identified in accordance with the rules contained in this paragraph with the shares acquired by him which could be comprised in that disposal, and shall be so identified notwithstanding that they are otherwise identified by the disposal, or by a transfer or delivery giving effect to the disposal (but so that, where a person disposes of shares in one capacity, they shall not be identified with shares which he holds or can dispose of only in some other capacity). The identification under this paragraph of the shares disposed of on any occasion shall have effect not only for determining the gain or loss accruing by reason of that disposal, but for all the purposes of Case VII, including its operation in relation to other disposals by the same person and, in a case where that person's acquisition of the shares is or may be relevant to the person acquiring from him, its operation in relation to the last-mentioned person. Shares disposed of on an earlier date shall be identified before shares disposed of on a later, and the identification of the shares first disposed of shall accordingly determine the shares which could be comprised in the later disposal. Shares disposed of for transfer or delivery on a particular date, or in a particular period— The shares disposed of shall be identified with shares not acquired as legatee rather than with shares acquired as legatee. The shares disposed of shall be identified— The preceding rules shall have priority according to the order in which they are stated. Notwithstanding anything in sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) above, where, under arrangements designed to postpone the transfer or delivery of shares disposed of, a person by a single bargain acquires shares for transfer or delivery on a particular date, or in a particular period, and disposes of them for transfer or delivery on a later date, or in a later period, then— This paragraph, and paragraph 9 below, shall apply in relation to a disposal of any assets as they apply in relation to a disposal of shares, where the assets are of a nature to be dealt in without identifying the particular assets disposed of or acquired.

Where, in the case of a man and his wife living with him, one of them— the provisions of this paragraph shall have effect as respects any shares acquired by the person making those disposals which, but for the provisions of paragraph 8 above, could have been comprised in either of those disposals. If, but for the provisions of this sub-paragraph, shares disposed of to a third party— the identification shall be reversed so that the shares disposed of to the third party (or, if the quantity disposed of to the third party was greater than the quantity disposed of to the wife or husband, a part of them equal to the quantity disposed of to the wife or husband) shall be taxable shares. If there is more than one disposal to the wife or husband, or more than one disposal to a third party, the provisions of this paragraph shall be applied to shares disposed of on an earlier date before being applied to shares disposed of on a later date, and the re-identification of the shares first disposed of shall accordingly determine the way in which this paragraph applies to the shares comprised in the later disposal. In this paragraph " taxable shares " are shares the disposal of which, together with their acquisition, constitutes an acquisition and disposal within the meaning of Case VII.

Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where a loss accrues to a person from his acquisition and disposal of any shares, and he re-acquires the same shares within one month after the disposal or, in the case of a re-acquisition otherwise than through a stock exchange, within six months after it, that loss shall not be allowable under Case VII otherwise than by deduction from any gain accruing to him from an acquisition and disposal of the shares beginning with the re-acquisition. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph, shares acquired for transfer or delivery after the date of transfer or delivery of the shares sold shall be deemed to have been acquired after the disposal of the shares sold. Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where a person disposes of shares and afterwards acquires the like shares within the period referred to in sub-paragraph (1) above, he is to be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as re-acquiring the shares disposed of (or, if the quantity disposed of was greater than the quantity acquired, a part of them equal to the quantity acquired), but so that— Where a person acquires shares and, under paragraph 8 above, shares previously disposed of by him are identified with those shares, then— Where, under paragraph 8(8) above, shares disposed of are identified with shares acquired by the same bargain, sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph shall apply as if the disposal had preceded the acquisition. Where— then, subject to sub-paragraph (6) below, sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph shall apply as if the disposal by that bargain had preceded the acquisition of the shares so identified with those disposed of. Where an acquisition of shares is more than once continued by such a bargain as is referred to in paragraph (a) of sub-paragraph (5) above, that sub-paragraph shall apply in relation to each bargain continuing the acquisition, but so that, in relation to each such bargain, paragraph (b)(ii) of that sub-paragraph shall have effect as if the references to the date of the bargain and the shares thereby acquired were references to the date of the last of the bargains and the shares thereby acquired; and, for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, an acquisition continued by one bargain shall be treated as further continued by a later bargain in so far as the shares disposed of by the later bargain are identified under paragraph 8 above with the shares acquired by the earlier. This paragraph, and paragraph 11 below, shall apply in relation to acquisitions or disposals of any assets as they apply in relation to acquisitions or disposals of shares, where the assets are of a nature to be dealt in without identifying the particular assets disposed of or acquired.

Where, in the case of a man and his wife living with him, a loss accrues to one of them from his or her acquisition and disposal of any shares, and the other of them is to be treated in accordance with this paragraph as acquiring the same shares within the prescribed period after the disposal, that loss shall be allowable under Case VII by deduction from any gain accruing to the other (that is to say, the wife or husband of the person to whom the loss accrued) from an acquisition and disposal of the shares beginning with that acquisition by the other, but shall not be so allowable by deduction from any other gain accruing to either of them. Shares disposed of by the husband or wife shall not for the purposes of this paragraph be treated as the same as shares acquired by the other if, for the purposes of paragraph 10 above— or if the person acquiring the shares acquires them from her husband or his wife. Subject to sub-paragraph (2) above, where the husband or wife disposes of shares and the other afterwards acquires the like shares within the prescribed period from the disposal, the other is to be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as acquiring the same shares as those disposed of (or, if the quantity disposed of was greater than the quantity acquired, a part equal to the quantity acquired) and, so far as necessary, the rules in paragraphs (a) to (d) of paragraph 10(2) above shall apply for the purpose of determining which are the same shares, as if the husband and wife were one person, and disregarding all shares excluded by sub-paragraph (2) above. For the purposes of this paragraph, shares acquired by the wife or husband for transfer or delivery after the date of transfer or delivery of the shares sold by the other shall be deemed to have been acquired after the disposal of the shares sold. Where the husband or wife acquires shares and, under paragraph 8 above, shares previously disposed of by him or her are identified with those shares, then— and sub-paragraphs (4) to (6) of paragraph 10 above shall apply as if references in those sub-paragraphs to sub-paragraph (3) of the said paragraph 10 included references to this sub-paragraph. In this paragraph " the prescribed period " means—

This paragraph shall apply in relation to any reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital; and for the purposes of this paragraph— Subject to the following sub-paragraphs, a reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital shall not be treated as involving any disposal of the original shares, or any acquisition of the new holding or any part of it, but the original shares and the new holding shall be treated as the same asset acquired as the original shares were acquired. Where, on a reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital, a person gives or becomes liable to give any consideration for his new holding or any part of it, that consideration shall, in relation to any disposal of the new holding or any part of it, be treated as having been given for the original shares, and, if the new holding or part of it is disposed of with a liability attaching to it in respect of that consideration, the consideration given for the disposal shall be adjusted accordingly: Provided that there shall not be treated as consideration given for the new holding or any part of it any surrender, cancellation or other alteration of the original shares or of the rights attached thereto, or any consideration consisting of any application in paying up the new holding or any part of it of assets of the company or of any dividend or other distribution declared out of those assets but not made. Notwithstanding the above proviso, in applying this sub-paragraph in relation to the issue of share capital to which subsection (1) of section 236 of this Act (stock dividend options) applies (as involving a reorganisation of the company's share capital) there shall be allowed, as consideration given for the new holding which includes that share capital, the sum referred to in that subsection less income tax at the standard rate. Where, on a reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital, a person receives or becomes entitled to receive in respect of his original shares any capital distribution from the company not forming part of the new holding, he shall be treated as if the new holding resulted from his having, in consideration of that distribution, disposed of an interest in the original shares of a market value equal to that of the distribution (but without prejudice to the original shares and the new holding being treated in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above as the same asset). References in this sub-paragraph to any capital distribution from the company include references to any consideration given by any person other than the company in respect of the original shares. Subject to paragraph 13 below, where, for the purpose of computing the gain or loss accruing to a person from the acquisition and disposal of any part of the new holding, it is necessary to apportion the cost of acquisition of any of the original shares between what is disposed of and what is retained, the apportionment shall be made by reference to market value at the date of the disposal (with such adjustment of the market value of any part of the new holding as may be required to offset any liability attaching thereto but forming part of the cost to be apportioned); and any corresponding apportionment for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above shall be made in like manner. Where, on a reorganisation of a company's share capital, a person receives, or becomes entitled to receive, in respect of any shares a provisional allotment of shares in or debentures of the company, then, unless he neither accepts the allotment nor disposes of his rights before or after the making of the allotment, those rights shall be treated in relation to him and any person acquiring them directly or indirectly from him as if they were the shares or debentures to which they relate, and as if the consideration to be given for the shares or debentures were a liability attaching to the rights. References in this paragraph to a reduction of share capital do not include the paying off of redeemable share capital, and where shares in a company are redeemed by a company otherwise than by the issue of shares or debentures (with or without other consideration) and otherwise than in a liquidation, the shareholder shall be treated as disposing of the shares at the time of the redemption.

This paragraph applies to a new holding, as defined in paragraph 12(1)(b) above— Where, for the purpose of computing the gain or loss accruing to a person from the acquisition and disposal of the whole or any part of any class of shares or securities or rights of unit holders forming part of a new holding to which this paragraph applies, it is necessary to apportion costs of acquisition between what is disposed of and what is retained, the cost of acquisition of the new holding shall first be apportioned between the entire classes of shares or debentures or rights of which it consists by reference to market value on the first day (whether that day fell before the reorganisation or reduction of capital took effect or later) on which market values or prices were quoted or published for the shares, debentures or rights as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (1)(b) above (with such adjustment of the market value of any class as may be required to offset any liability attaching thereto but forming part of the cost to be apportioned); and this sub-paragraph shall have effect notwithstanding sub-paragraph (5) of the said paragraph 12. Sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) above shall have effect as if contained in the said paragraph 12. For the purposes of this paragraph, the day on which a reorganisation of share capital involving the allotment of shares or debentures or unit holders' rights takes effect is the day following the day on which the right to renounce any allotment expires.

Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, paragraphs 12 and 13 of this Schedule shall apply with any necessary adaptations in relation to the conversion of securities as they apply in relation to the reorganisation or reduction of a company's share capital. Where securities are converted on an exchange effected under any arrangement which is being carried out under section 2 of the National Loans Act 1939, or section 14 of the National Loans Act 1968, and any additional consideration is given to the holder of the securities, paragraph 12(4) above shall not apply to the additional consideration, but it shall, in relation to any disposal of the new holding or any part of it, be treated as reducing the consideration given for the original securities. For the purposes of this paragraph—

Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, where a company issues snares or debentures to a person in exchange for shares in or debentures of another company, paragraphs 12 and 13 of this Schedule shall apply with any necessary adaptations as if the two companies were the same company and the exchange were a reorganisation of its share capital. This paragraph shall apply only where the company issuing the shares or debentures has, or in consequence of the exchange will have, control of the other company, or where the first-mentioned company issues the shares or debentures in exchange for shares as the result of a general offer made to members of the other company or any class of them (with or without exceptions for persons who are, within the terms of section 533 of this Act, connected with the first-mentioned company), the offer being made in the first instance on a condition such that if it were satisfied the first-mentioned company would have control of the other company.

Where under any arrangement between a company and the persons holding shares in or debentures of the company, or any class of such shares or debentures, being an arrangement entered into for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation— then those persons shall be treated as exchanging the first-mentioned shares or debentures for those held by them in consequence of the arrangement (any shares or debentures retained being for this purpose regarded as if they had been cancelled and replaced by a new issue): Provided that paragraph 15(2) above shall not apply. Sub-paragraph (1) above shall apply in relation to a company which has no share capital as if references to shares in or debentures of a company included references to any interests in the company possessed by members of the company, and paragraphs 12 and 15 of this Schedule shall apply accordingly. Where any scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation involves the transfer of the whole or part of a company's business to another company, and the first-mentioned company receives no part of the consideration for the transfer (otherwise than by the other company taking over the whole or part of the liabilities of the business), then the first-mentioned company shall not be chargeable under Case VII by reference to the transfer in respect of its acquisition and disposal of any assets included in the transfer. In this paragraph " scheme of reconstruction or amalgamation " means a scheme for the reconstruction of any company or companies, or for the amalgamation of any two or more companies, and references to shares or debentures being retained include then-being retained with altered rights, or in an altered form, whether as the result of reduction, consolidation, division or otherwise.

Subject to paragraph 18 below, where a person incurs a debt to another, the creditor shall not be treated as thereby acquiring the debt, except in the case of the debt on a security as defined in paragraph 14 of this Schedule. In the case of the debt on a security as defined in paragraph 14 of this Schedule, or of a debt acquired by the creditor from a previous creditor, the satisfaction of the debt or part of it shall, subject to paragraphs 14 and 15 of this Schedule, be treated as a disposal of the debt or of that part by the creditor made at the time when the debt or that part is satisfied. Where property is acquired by a creditor in satisfaction of his debt or part of it, then, subject to the said paragraphs 14 and 15, the property shall not be treated as disposed of by the debtor or acquired by the creditor for a consideration greater than its market value at the time of the creditor's acquisition of it; but if (in a case not falling within either of those paragraphs) the satisfaction of the debt or that part of it is not to be treated as a disposal of it by the creditor, and he becomes chargeable under Case VII in respect of gains accruing from his acquisition and disposal of the property, the amount on which tax is chargeable shall (where necessary) be reduced so as not to exceed the amount on which tax would have been chargeable if he had acquired the property for a consideration equal to the amount of the debt or that part of it.

Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, paragraph 17(1) above shall not apply to a debt owed by a bank which is not in sterling and which is represented by a sum standing to the credit of a person in an account in the bank, and accordingly the satisfaction of the debt or part of it shall be treated as a disposal of the debt or of that part by the creditor (that is, the bank's customer) made at the time when the debt or that part is satisfied. Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not apply to a sum in an individual's bank account representing currency acquired by the holder for the personal expenditure outside the United Kingdom of himself or his family or dependants (including expenditure on the provision or maintenance of any residence outside the United Kingdom).

A person shall not be chargeable under Case VII in respect of an acquisition and disposal of land by reference to a disposal to an authority exercising or having compulsory powers if that person had neither— In this paragraph " authority exercising or having compulsory powers " means, in relation to any disposal of land, a person or body of persons acquiring the land compulsorily, or who has or have been or could be authorised to acquire it compulsorily for the purposes for which it is acquired, or for whom another person or body of persons has or have been or could be authorised so to acquire it.

Where a single bargain comprises two or more transactions whereby assets are disposed of, those transactions shall be treated for the purposes of section 164 of this Act as a single disposal; and where separate considerations are agreed, or purport to be agreed, for any two or more transactions comprised in one bargain (whether transactions whereby assets are disposed of or not), those considerations shall be treated as together constituting an entire consideration for the transactions, and shall be apportion-able between them accordingly. Where an individual and the wife or husband of that individual, or a body of persons and a person having control of it, or two bodies of persons under common control, enter into associated transactions, sub-paragraph (1) above shall apply as if the transactions were comprised in a single bargain (" body of persons " for this purpose including a partnership): Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply so as to treat considerations given or received by different persons as an entire consideration unless they are given to or received from a single person or persons in relation to whom they can by virtue of this sub-paragraph be treated as an entire consideration. In the case of an acquisition and disposal of land, no deduction shall be made in respect of maintenance expenditure incurred by any person— and maintenance expenditure incurred by the person chargeable which falls to be taken into account for other purposes of Case VII shall not be taken into account in computing his profits or gains for the purposes of Schedule A, but, where it has been taken into account in computing those profits or gains, any necessary adjustment of that person's liability to tax may be made by means of an assessment or otherwise, and, for that purpose, the amount of any tax repaid by reason of its having been taken into account may be charged on him under Case VI of Schedule D and recovered accordingly. In this sub-paragraph, references to maintenance expenditure incurred by any person are references to any payments made by him which are deductible in computing his profits or gains for the purposes of Schedule A. Paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 19 to the Finance Act 1969 (capital gains tax: compensation paid on compulsory acquisition) shall apply with respect to the apportionments to be made under section 164(4) of this Act as it applies to apportionments to be made for the purposes of Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 1965. Where, in the case of any asset, the person chargeable receives or is entitled to claim any capital allowances with reference to expenditure relating to the asset, the amount of the allowances shall be treated for the purpose of computing the gain as a trading receipt of the adventure in so far as it exceeds the amount or aggregate amount on which any balancing charges fall to be made on him in respect of the allowances (subject, however, to a just apportionment where the adventure does not relate to the whole of his interest in the asset). In this sub-paragraph "capital allowance" does not include an allowance under Part II of the Capital Allowance Act 1968, or an investment allowance.

Where under this Schedule a person acquiring an asset is to be treated as if another's acquisition of it had been his acquisition, that person shall be treated as having acquired the asset at the time when the other acquired it and for a consideration of such amount as would secure that, on the other's disposal to that person, neither a gain nor a loss would accrue to the other (that amount being calculated as it would be for the purpose of a charge under Case VII then falling on the other by reference to that acquisition); and where there have been more than one acquisition by the other of different interests in the asset, this provision shall apply in relation to each such acquisition: Provided that— Where a person acquires an asset subject to and with the benefit of any subsisting contract for its disposal to a third person and is under this Schedule to be treated as if another's acquisition of it had been his acquisition, sub-paragraphs (1) and (3) of paragraph 2 of this Schedule shall not apply in relation to the acquisition by or disposal to him of the asset (he being treated as if the other's acquisition of the right had been his acquisition).

Where any sum falls to be apportioned for the purposes of Case VII and, at the time of the apportionment, it appears that it is material as respects the liability to tax of two or more persons, any question which arises as to the manner in which the sum is to be apportioned shall be determined for the purposes of the tax on all those persons— and any such Commissioners shall determine the question in like manner as if it were an appeal: Provided that all the said persons shall be entitled to appear and be heard by the Commissioners who are to make the determination, or to make representations to them in writing. This paragraph applies in relation to any determination of market value for the purposes of Case VII as it applies in relation to apportionments.

An election under this Schedule shall be made by notice in writing, signed by the person or persons making the election and the persons (if any) whose concurrence is required, and delivered to the inspector within the relevant period. A notice so delivered with respect to property disposed of by way of gift shall be of no effect unless within the relevant period there is also delivered to the inspector a statement signed by the donor and giving such particulars as are necessary to establish the time at which, and the consideration for which, the donee is to be treated as having acquired the property, in so far as those particulars may be material in relation to any acquisition and disposal by the donee. Any election which a person may make or concur in under this Schedule may be made or concurred in instead by his personal representatives if he has died, or by any person assessable on his behalf, and similarly with a statement required by sub-paragraph (2) above. For the purposes of this paragraph, the relevant period— and in this paragraph, references to a gift include any disposal otherwise than by way of bargain at arm's length, and references to the donor and the donee shall be construed accordingly.

Relief shall be allowed in accordance with the following provisions of this Schedule in respect of tax chargeable by virtue of section 187 of this Act, where a claim is made under section 188(4) of this Act.

A person shall not be entitled to relief under this Schedule in so far as such relief, together with any relief allowed under Chapter II of Part I of this Act (personal reliefs), would reduce the amount of income on which he is chargeable at the standard rate below the amount income tax on which he is entitled to charge against any other person, or to deduct, retain or satisfy out of any payment which he is liable to make to any other person.

In computing the charge to tax in respect of a payment chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act, not being a payment of compensation for loss of office, there shall be deducted from the payment a sum equal to the amount (if any) by which the standard capital superannuation benefit for the office or employment in respect of which the payment is made exceeds £5,000.

In this Schedule " the standard capital superannuation benefit", in relation to an office or employment, means a sum arrived at as follows, that is to say— Provided that no account shall be taken for the purposes of this paragraph of the service of any person as an officer or employee of a body corporate at any time while he was a controlling director (as defined in section 224(1) of this Act) of that body.

Where tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act in respect of two or more payments to which paragraph 3 above applies, being payments made to or in respect of the same person in respect of the same office or employment or in respect of different offices or employments held under the same employer or under associated employers, then— and where the standard capital superannuation benefit for an office or employment in respect of which two or more of the payments are made is not the same in relation to each of those payments, it shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as equal to the higher or highest of those benefits.

In computing the charge to tax in respect of a payment chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act, being a payment made in respect of an office or employment in which the service of the holder includes foreign service and not being a payment of compensation for loss of office, there shall be deducted from the payment (in addition to any deduction allowed under the preceding provisions of this Schedule) a sum which bears to the amount which would be chargeable to tax apart from this paragraph the same proportion as the length of the foreign service bears to the length of the service before the relevant date.

In the case of any payment in respect of which tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act, the following relief shall be allowed by way of deduction from the tax chargeable by virtue of that section, that is to say, there shall be ascertained— and the amount to be deducted shall be the difference between the amount ascertained at (a) and the sum of the amount ascertained at (b) and the appropriate multiple of the difference ascertained at (c).

Where the income of the holder or past holder of the office or employment for the chargeable period of which the payment is treated as income includes income, income tax on which he is entitled to charge against any other person, or to deduct, retain or satisfy out of any payment which he is liable to make to any other person, the amounts referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) to (c) of paragraph 7 above shall be calculated as if that tax were not chargeable in respect of that income. Where for any year of assessment an individual claims relief under paragraph 7 above, and also under section 400 of this Act (gains arising in connection with life policies etc.) or Schedule 3 thereto (premiums etc. taxable under sections 80 to 82), or under both that section and that Schedule, then, in computing the relief under paragraph 7 above, his income shall be deemed to include—

In this Schedule " the appropriate fraction " (except in paragraph 8(2)(a) above) and " the appropriate multiple ", in relation to any payment, mean respectively— and for the purposes of this paragraph " the relevant number of years of unexpired service " means the number of complete years taken into account in calculating the amount of the payment, being years for which the holder of the office or employment would have been entitled (otherwise than by virtue of arrangements made in contemplation of his retirement or removal or of any relevant change in the functions or emoluments of the office or employment) to retain the office or employment or its full emoluments, and where the period taken into account as aforesaid is less than one complete year or exceeds an exact number of years, it shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as one complete year or as the next higher number of complete years, as the case may be.

Where tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act in respect of two or more payments to or in respect of the same person in respect of the same office or employment and is so chargeable for the same chargeable period, those payments shall be treated for the purposes of paragraph 7 above as a single payment of an amount equal to their aggregate amount: Provided that, where the appropriate fraction and the appropriate multiple are not the same for each of the payments, the calculations of relief under the said paragraph 7 shall be made separately in relation to each payment or payments having a different appropriate fraction and multiple, and in any such calculation— and the relief to be allowed shall be the sum of the reliefs so calculated in respect of the payments respectively.

Where tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act in respect of two or more payments to or in respect of the same person in respect of different offices or employments, and is so chargeable for the same chargeable period, paragraphs 7 to 10 above shall apply as if those payments were made in respect of the same office or employment and as if any emoluments of any of those offices or employments were emoluments of the same office or employment.

Any reference in the preceding provisions of this Schedule to a payment in respect of which tax is chargeable under section 187 of this Act is a reference to so much of that payment as is chargeable to tax after deduction of the relief applicable thereto under section 188(3) of this Act.

In this Schedule— and any question whether, and to what extent, a payment is or is not a payment of compensation for loss of office shall be determined according to all the circumstances and not (or not exclusively) by reference to the terms on which it is expressed to be made.

Any reference in this Schedule to the emoluments of an office or employment is a reference to those emoluments exclusive of any payment chargeable to tax under section 187 of this Act; and in calculating for any purpose of this Schedule the amount of such emoluments— and any such charges or allowances as aforesaid for a chargeable period shall, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of the emoluments for any year of service, be treated as accruing from day to day, and shall be apportioned in respect of time accordingly.

In this Schedule "the relevant date" means, in relation to a payment not being a payment in commutation of annual or other periodical payments, the date of the termination or change in respect of which it is made and, in relation to a payment in commutation of annual or other periodical payments, the date of the termination or change in respect of which those payments would have been made.

In this Schedule "foreign service", in relation to an office or employment, means service such that tax was not chargeable in respect of the emoluments of the office or employment—

Any reference in this Schedule to the amount of tax to which a person is or would be chargeable is a reference to the amount of tax to which he is or would be chargeable either by assessment or by deduction.

Any income tax for which a company resident in the United Kingdom is liable to account in respect of distributions made by it in any year of assessment, or in respect of any payments made by it in any year other than distributions, shall in accordance with paragraph 2 below be accounted for and paid during or on the expiration of the year, subject to such set off as is available to the company under paragraph 3 below against income tax on franked investment income or on payments received subject to deduction of tax other than franked investment income. If it appears after the end of any year of assessment either—(a) that in respect of distributions made by the company in the year the company is liable to account for income tax to an amount greater than the income tax (if any) borne by it on franked investment income received in the year and on any surplus of franked investment income carried forward to the year; or and the amount paid by and not repaid to the company in respect of the year in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above is less than the amount of the excess referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this sub-paragraph, the company shall be liable to pay the difference between the two last-mentioned amounts. The amount which a company is liable to pay for any year of assessment under sub-paragraph (2) above, if or in so far as it is not agreed between the company and the inspector, shall be recovered by means of an assessment made on the company. Where the amount of any tax payable in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) above is agreed between the company and the inspector— Nothing in this Schedule shall apply to income tax for which a company is liable to account under section 204 (pay as you earn) of this Act.

A company shall from time to time make to the collector returns of all distributions and payments made by it to which paragraph 1 above applies, and shall in any such return specify any amount of dividends included therein which has been paid under deduction of tax notwithstanding that an election under section 256(1) of this Act was in force in relation thereto. A return under this paragraph of distributions and payments made in any month shall be made within fourteen days from the end of the month; and any claim under paragraph 3 below shall be made at the like times. In this sub-paragraph "month" means a month of a year of assessment, that is to say, a month beginning with the sixth day of a month of the calendar year. Subject to sub-paragraph (7) below, income tax in respect of any payment required to be included in a return under this paragraph shall be due at the time by which the return is to be made, and income tax so due shall be payable by the company without the making of any assessment. Income tax which has become due in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) above may be assessed on the company (whether or not it has been paid when the assessment is made) if that tax, or any part of it, is not paid on or before the due date. Income tax in respect of distributions included in a return, not being payments, shall be assessed on the company; and if it appears to the inspector that there are distributions (of whatever description), or payments to which paragraph 1 above applies which are not distributions, which ought to have been and have not been included in a return, or if the inspector is dissatisfied with any return, he may make an assessment on the company to the best of his judgment. Any tax assessable under any one or more of the provisions of this paragraph may be included in one assessment if the tax so included is all due on the same date. Where a company is liable to pay income tax in respect of any payment if, but only if, it amounts to or involves a distribution, and it is not in the circumstances apparent whether or how far it does so, then—

Where in any year of assessment a company resident in the United Kingdom receives franked investment income, or receives any payment on which it bears income tax by deduction, the company may make a claim to have the income tax thereon brought into account under this paragraph. If on the making of any such claim it is shown by the required evidence that income tax has been or will be paid in respect of any franked investment income or payment included in the claim, that tax shall be set against any income tax which the company has paid or is liable to pay in respect of distributions or other payments included in returns made under paragraph 2 above for the same year of assessment, and (where necessary) income tax paid by the company before the claim is allowed shall be repaid accordingly. Where, on a claim made under this paragraph for any year of assessment, account would be taken of distributions made by the company in the year, and the company has a surplus of franked investment income carried forward to that year (and not already dealt with under this paragraph), the claim shall so state and the income tax on the surplus shall under sub-paragraph (2) above be set against income tax on distributions made by the company (but not against income tax on other payments).

Where a claim has been made under paragraph 3 above no proceedings for collecting tax which would fall to be discharged if the claim were allowed shall be instituted pending the final determination of the claim, but this sub-paragraph shall not affect the date when the tax is due. When the claim is finally determined any tax underpaid in consequence of sub-paragraph (1) above shall be paid. Where proceedings are instituted for collecting tax assessed, or interest on tax assessed, under any provision of paragraph 2 above, effect shall not be given to any claim made after the institution of the proceedings so as to affect or delay the collection or recovery of the tax charged by the assessment or of interest thereon, until the claim has been finally determined. When the claim is finally determined any tax overpaid in consequence of sub-paragraph (3) above shall be repaid. References in this paragraph to proceedings for the collection of tax include references to proceedings by way of distraint or pointing for tax.

Income tax set against other tax under paragraph 3 above shall be treated as paid or repaid, as the case may be, and the same tax shall not be taken into account both under this Schedule and under section 240(5) of this Act; but for the purposes of the said section 240(5) any amount paid by a company by virtue of paragraph 1(2)(a) above shall be treated as if it were income tax borne by deduction on a payment not being franked investment income, and as if that payment had been received at the end of the year of assessment for which the said amount is paid, and the said amount shall be set off against corporation tax or repayable accordingly.

All the provisions of the Income Tax Acts as to the time within which an assessment may be made, so far as they refer or relate to the year of assessment for which an assessment is made, or the year to which an assessment relates, shall apply to an assessment under this Schedule notwithstanding that, under this Schedule, the assessment may be said to relate to a month rather than to a year of assessment, and the provisions of sections 36 and 37 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 as to the circumstances in which an assessment may be made out of time shall apply accordingly on the footing that any such assessment relates to the year of assessment the standard rate for which is the rate at which tax is charged by the assessment. Income tax assessed on a company under this Schedule shall be due within fourteen days after the issue of the notice of assessment (unless due earlier under paragraph 2(3) above). Sub-paragraph (2) above has effect subject to any appeal against the assessment, but no such appeal shall affect the date when tax is due under paragraph 2(3) above. On the determination of an appeal against an assessment under this Schedule any tax overpaid shall be repaid.

Nothing in the preceding provisions of this Schedule shall be taken to prejudice any powers conferred by the Income Tax Acts for the recovery of income tax by means of an assessment or otherwise.

Subject to the provisions of this Schedule, the Board may by statutory instrument make regulations with respect to the procedure to be adopted for giving effect to sections 240 and 256 of this Act, and as to the information and evidence to be furnished by a company in or in connection with any return or claim made for the purposes thereof.

The repeals made by this Act shall not be taken as altering the effect of section 18(8) of the Finance Act 1969 or, so far as it relates to interest paid not later than 15th August 1970, of section 169(5) of the Income Tax Act 1952.

Subject to sub-paragraph (2) below, section 84 of this Act has effect— So far as relates to relief under— In applying sub-paragraph (2) above it shall be assumed— This sub-paragraph shall have effect notwithstanding the provisions of section 77 of this Act or any other enactment governing the order in which reliefs are given. All such adjustments shall be made, whether by way of assessment or discharge or repayment of tax, as are required to give effect to the said section 84 with this paragraph.

Where section 84 of this Act does not have effect, the following provisions of this paragraph shall apply in ascertaining the duration of a lease for the purposes of sections 80 to 82 of this Act. Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, where the terms of the lease include provision for the determination thereof by notice given either by the landlord or by the tenant, the lease shall not be treated as granted for a term longer than one ending at the earliest date on which it could be determined by notice. Subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, where any of the terms of the lease (whether relating to forfeiture or to any other matter) or any other circumstances render it unlikely that the lease will continue beyond a date falling before the expiration of the term of the lease, the lease shall not be treated as having been granted for a term longer than one ending on that date. Where the duration of a lease falls to be ascertained after the date on which the lease has for any reason come to an end, the duration shall be taken to have extended from its commencement to that date, and where the duration falls to be ascertained at a time when the lease is subsisting the preceding provisions of this paragraph shall be applied in accordance with circumstances prevailing at that time. In relation to Scotland the expression " term " in this paragraph, where referring to the duration of a lease, means " period ". This paragraph shall be construed as one with Part III of this Act.

In computing for the purposes of income tax for the year 1970-71 or any subsequent year of assessment the profits or gains arising from a trade, profession or vocation in a basis period falling wholly or partly before 6th April 1970, there may, subject to section 57(10) and section 130 of this Act, be deducted— It is hereby declared that, subject to sub-paragraph (1) above, relief in respect of any payment of interest cannot be given both under the said section 200 and in computing the profits or gains of a trade, profession or vocation. In this paragraph " basis period ", in relation to any year of assessment, means the period the profits or gains of which are taken into account in charging income tax under Case I or Case II of Schedule D on the profits or gains of the trade, profession or vocation for that year of assessment. In this paragraph " building society " includes any company within section 445(6) of the Income Tax Act 1952.

This paragraph has effect for allowing deductions by reference to those which would have fallen to be made if section 136 of the Income Tax Act 1952 had applied for the years 1963-64 and 1964-65. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, an allowance under this paragraph shall be made to the person carrying on a trade where land which was occupied by him at any time before the end of the year 1962-63 for the purposes of the trade permanently ceases to be occupied by him for those purposes. The amount of the allowance shall be the excess of— The allowance shall be made by— The said period is that ending when the land permanently ceases to be occupied by the said person for the purposes of the trade, and of a duration equal to the aggregate of— No allowance shall be made under this paragraph where the date on which the land permanently ceases to be occupied by the said person for the purposes of the trade— Where, by reason of a change in the persons carrying on the trade, the trade falls to be treated for any of the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as permanently discontinued, a person engaged in carrying on the trade immediately before the change occurred who continues to be so engaged immediately after it occurred shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as not having been in occupation of the land at any time before it occurred. Where there has been a change in the persons carrying on the trade, but by virtue of section 154 of this Act, or section 17(1) of the Finance Act 1954 (company reconstructions before introduction of corporation tax), the trade does not by reason of the change fall to be treated for any of the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as permanently discontinued, this paragraph (including this sub-paragraph) shall apply as if any occupation of the land before the change occurred by the persons carrying on the trade immediately before it occurred were occupation by the persons carrying on the trade immediately after it occurred. Where section 252(1) of this Act (company reconstructions) applies, then for the purposes of this paragraph any occupation of land for the purposes of the trade by the predecessor shall be treated as having been the occupation of the successor. Subsection (6) of the said section 252 shall apply to this sub-paragraph as it applies to subsections (2) to (5) of that section, and in this sub-paragraph " predecessor " and " successor" have the same meaning as in that section. Where section 352 of this Act (harbour reorganisation schemes) has effect, then for the purposes of this paragraph any occupation of land for the purposes of the trade by the transferor shall be treated as having been the occupation of the transferee. This sub-paragraph shall be construed as one with the said section 352, and as if it were referred to in subsection (1(3)(b) of that section. The preceding provisions of this paragraph shall apply in relation to a profession or vocation as they apply in relation to a trade, but as if the reference in sub-paragraph (4) to Case I of Schedule D were a reference to Case II of that Schedule.
