150G 25 Seed enterprise investment scheme: re-investment

investment under the seed enterprise investment scheme in the tax
year 2012-13) has effect.

5 After Schedule 5B insert—

Schedule 5BB 30Seed enterprise investment scheme: re-investment
SEIS re-investment relief

1 (1) Sub-paragraph (5) applies where conditions A to C are met in
relation to an individual (“the investor”).

(2) Condition A is that—

(a) 35there would (ignoring sub-paragraphs (5) and (6)) be a
chargeable gain (“the original gain”) accruing to the
investor at any time in the tax year 2012-13, and

Finance BillPage 253

(b) the original gain is one accruing on the disposal of an asset
by the investor at any time (“the disposal time”) in that
year.

(3) Condition B is that—

(a) 5the investor is eligible for SEIS relief for the tax year 2012-
13 in respect of an amount subscribed for an issue of shares
in a company made to the investor in that year,

(b) the investor makes a claim for and obtains SEIS relief for
that year in respect of all or some of those shares (“the
10relevant SEIS shares”), and

(c) if the relevant SEIS shares, or any corresponding bonus
shares in relation to those shares, were issued before the
disposal time, they are still held by the investor at the
disposal time.

(4) 15Condition C is that—

(a) the investor has made a claim under this paragraph for
relief in relation to the original gain, and

(b) the claim is in respect of the amount on which SEIS relief is
claimed by the investor in respect of the relevant SEIS
20shares (“the SEIS expenditure”) or part of that amount.

(5) So much of the SEIS expenditure as—

(a) is specified in the claim,

(b) is unused, and

(c) does not exceed so much of the original gain as is
25unmatched,

is to be set against a corresponding amount of the original gain.

(6) Where an amount of the SEIS expenditure is set against the whole
or part of the original gain under sub-paragraph (5), so much of
that gain as is equal to that amount is to be treated as not being a
30chargeable gain.

(7) For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a) the SEIS expenditure is unused to the extent that it has not
already been set under sub-paragraph (5) or paragraph
2(1) of Schedule 5B against the whole or any part of a
35chargeable gain, and

(b) the original gain is unmatched, in relation to the SEIS
expenditure, to the extent that it has not had any other
expenditure set against it under sub-paragraph (5) or
paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 5B.

40Restrictions on relief under paragraph 1

2 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies if the investor’s tax reduction under
section 257AB of ITA 2007 for the tax year 2012-13 is limited by
subsection (2)(b) of that section (calculation of tax reduction where
claim made for amounts subscribed for shares which exceed
45£100,000).

Finance BillPage 254

(2) Paragraph 1(5) to (7) has effect as if references to the SEIS
expenditure were references to so much of that expenditure as is
given by the formula—


5where—

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies if the amount of SEIS relief attributable
to any of the relevant SEIS shares has been reduced under Chapter
6 of Part 5A of ITA 2007 before the SEIS relief was obtained
(otherwise than by virtue of corresponding bonus shares being
15issued in respect of those shares).

(4) Paragraph 1(5) to (7) has effect as if the SEIS expenditure were the
amount found by multiplying that expenditure by the fraction—


where—

(5) In a case where sub-paragraphs (2) and (4) both apply, sub-
25paragraph (2) is to be applied before sub-paragraph (4).

Claims

3 (1) Section 257EA of ITA 2007 (time for making claims for SEIS relief)
applies in relation to a claim made by the investor for the purposes
of paragraph 1 in relation to the SEIS expenditure as it applies in
30relation to a claim for SEIS relief in respect of that expenditure.

(2) Nothing in paragraph 1(3) prevents a claim being made by the
investor under paragraph 1 before SEIS relief has actually been
obtained by the investor in relation to the SEIS relief.

Attribution of SEIS re-investment relief to relevant SEIS shares

4 (1) 35References in this Schedule to the SEIS re-investment relief
attributable to any shares are to be read as references to the total
amount attributed to those shares in accordance with this
paragraph.

(2) Sub-paragraph (3) applies where the whole or part of the SEIS
40expenditure is set off against a chargeable gain under paragraph
1(5).

(3) A proportionate part of the expenditure which is so set off is
attributed to each of the relevant SEIS shares.

Finance BillPage 255

(4) Sub-paragraph (5) applies if corresponding bonus shares are
issued in respect of all or some of the relevant SEIS shares (“the
original shares”) to which relief is attributed under this paragraph.

(5) A proportionate part of the total amount attributed to the original
5shares immediately before those bonus shares are issued is
attributed to each of the shares in the holding comprising the
original shares and those bonus shares.

Removal or reduction of the relief

5 (1) This paragraph applies where in respect of shares issued to an
10individual—

(a) SEIS relief is attributable to the shares,

(b) SEIS re-investment relief is also attributable to the shares,
and

(c) the SEIS relief which is attributable to the shares is
15withdrawn or reduced under Chapters 6 and 7 of Part 5A
of ITA 2007.

(2) A chargeable gain accrues to the individual in the tax year 2012-13
on a disposal made in that tax year.

(3) The amount of that gain is—

(a) 20in a case where the SEIS relief is withdrawn, the amount of
SEIS re-investment relief which is attributable to the shares
immediately before the withdrawal, and

(b) in a case where the SEIS relief is reduced, the appropriate
fraction of that amount.

(4) 25In a case where the SEIS re-investment relief is withdrawn, the
SEIS re-investment relief ceases to be attributable to the shares.

(5) In a case where the SEIS relief is reduced, the appropriate fraction
of the SEIS re-investment relief ceases to be attributable to the
shares.

(6) 30“The appropriate fraction” is—


where—

Transfers of shares to spouses and civil partners

6 (1) This paragraph applies if—

(a) shares to which an amount of SEIS relief is attributable
40were issued to an individual (“A”),

(b) A transferred the shares to another individual (“B”) during
their lives,

(c) A was married to, or was the civil partner of, B at the time
of the transfer, and

Finance BillPage 256

(d) subsection (4) of section 257FA of ITA 2007 (provision
about disposals of shares disapplied where disposal
between spouses or civil partners) prevented that section
applying to the transfer.

(2) 5Any chargeable gain which accrues by virtue of paragraph 5(2), as
a result of SEIS relief attributable to the shares being withdrawn or
reduced after the shares are transferred, is to accrue to B (instead
of to A).

Adjustment of capital gains tax liability

7 (1) 10All such adjustments of capital gains tax are to be made, whether
by way of assessment or by way of discharge or repayment of tax,
as may be required in consequence of relief being obtained, or a
gain accruing, under this Schedule.

(2) In its application to an assessment made by virtue of this
15paragraph, section 86 of TMA 1970 (interest on overdue capital
gains tax) has effect as if the relevant date were 31 January next
following the tax year in which the assessment is made.

Interpretation etc

8 (1) In this Schedule—

(2) In this Schedule, references (however expressed) to an issue of
shares in any company to an individual are to such of the shares
in the company as are of the same class and are issued to the
30individual in one capacity and on the same day.

(3) If section 257AB(1) and (2) of ITA 2007 applies, in the case of any
issue of shares made to an individual, as if part of the issue had
been issued in a previous tax year, this Schedule has effect as if
that part and the remainder were separate issues of shares (and
35that part had been issued on a day in the previous tax year).

(4) Part 5A of ITA 2007 applies, for the purposes of this Schedule, to
determine whether SEIS relief is attributable to any shares and, if
so, the amount of relief so attributable.
