(b)

contracts of long-term insurance or contracts made in the course of
capital redemption business, and

the net amount recognised by the transferor in respect of the transfer of
those contracts,
the amount of the difference is to be taken into account for the purpose of
calculating the BLAGAB trade profit or loss of the transferee for the accounting
period in which those contracts are transferred.

(3)
In the case of securities (“new securities”) comprised in a new holding, the
amount of the base cost or indexation allowance of an old holding that is
carried into the new holding is equal to the proportion which the new securities
derived from the old holding bear to all of the securities comprised in the old
holding.
(4)
For the purpose of calculating the indexation allowance of a new holding in
respect of any period falling on or after 1 January 2013, it is to be assumed that,
on that date, there had been a disposal of the holding for a consideration of such
amount as would secure that on the disposal neither a gain nor a loss would
accrue to the company.
‘(2)
Each new holding is treated for the purposes of corporation tax on chargeable
gains as if it were a holding of the company with a base cost and an indexation
allowance as at 1 January 2013 equal to the total of the base costs and
indexation allowances of the old holdings that are carried into the new holding.
(5) For the purposes of this paragraph—
(a) references to a base cost are—
(i)
in the case of a section 104 holding, references to the amount
of qualifying expenditure within the meaning of section 110
of TCGA 1992, and
(ii)
in the case of a 1982 holding, references to the amount of
expenditure that would fall to be deducted if the holding were
disposed of,
(b) references to an indexation allowance are—
(i)
in the case of a section 104 holding, references to the
indexation allowance as found in accordance with section 110
of TCGA 1992, and
(ii)
in the case of a 1982 holding, references to the indexation
allowance within the meaning of Chapter 4 of Part 2 of that
Act,
(c)
the base cost and the indexation allowance of an old holding are
calculated on the assumption that the holding is disposed of
immediately before 1 January 2013,
(d)
“section 104 holding” has the same meaning as in section 104(3) of
TCGA 1992, and
(e) “1982 holding” has the same meaning as in section 109 of that Act.’.
