(a) which of any shares that—
(i) are acquired by an individual at different times, and
(ii) 20are shares to which SEIS relief is attributable,
a disposal relates to, or
(b)
whether a disposal relates to shares to which SEIS relief is

Chapter 1 of this Part has effect subject to this subsection.
(7)
Sections 104, 105 and 106A do not apply to shares to which SEIS relief

(b)
there is, by virtue of any such allotment for payment as is
mentioned in section 126(2)(a), a reorganisation affecting the

the company for the purposes of section 257EB(1) of ITA 2007
and in accordance with sections 257EC and 257ED of that Act.
(12)
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 the SEIS relief being given or
withdrawn.
(13)
Where shares to which SEIS relief is attributable are exchanged for
15other shares in circumstances such that section 257HB of ITA 2007
(acquisition of share capital by new company) applies—
(a)
subsection (9) above does not have effect to disapply section
135, and
(b)
sections 257HB(3)(b), 257HC(2)(a) and 257HD of ITA 2007
20apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the
purposes of Part 5A of that Act.
(14) For the purposes of this section—
“eligible shares” means shares that meet the requirements of
section 257CA(2);
25“new holding” is to be construed in accordance with sections
126, 127, 135 and 136;
“ordinary share capital” has the meaning given in section 989 of
ITA 2007;
“ordinary shares”, in relation to a company, means shares
30forming part of its ordinary share capital;
“relevant period” means the period found by applying section
257AC(2) of ITA 2007 by reference to the company issuing the
shares referred to in subsection (9) and by reference to those
shares;
35“the SEIS rate” has the meaning given by section 257AB(3) of
ITA 2007;
“SEIS relief” means relief under Part 5A of ITA 2007 (seed
enterprise investment scheme);
and that Part applies to determine whether SEIS relief is attributable
40to any shares and, if so, the amount of SEIS relief so attributable.
(1) This section has effect where—
(a) section 150E(2) applies on a disposal of shares, and
(b)
before the disposal, value is received in circumstances where
45SEIS relief attributable to the shares is reduced by an amount
under section 257FE(2)(a) of ITA 2007.
(2)
If section 150E(2) applies on the disposal but section 150E(5) does
not, section 150E(2) applies only to so much of the gain as remains
Finance BillPage 252
after deducting so much of it as is found by multiplying it by the
fraction—
where—
A is the amount by which the SEIS relief attributable to the shares is
5reduced as mentioned in subsection (1), and
B is the amount of the relief attributable to the shares.
(3)
If section 150E(2) and (5) apply on the disposal, section 150E(2)
applies only to so much of the gain as is found by—
(a) taking the part of the gain found under section 150E(5), and
(b)
10deducting from that part so much of it as is found by
multiplying it by the fraction mentioned in subsection (2)
above.
(4)
Where the SEIS relief attributable to the shares is reduced as
mentioned in subsection (1) by more than one amount, “A” in
15subsection (2) is to be taken to be equal to the aggregate of the
amounts.
(5)
The amount which is “B” in subsection (2) is to be found without
regard to any reduction mentioned in subsection (1).
(6)
For the purposes of this section, Part 5A of ITA 2007 (seed enterprise
20investment scheme) applies to determine whether SEIS relief is
attributable to any shares and, if so, the amount of SEIS relief so
attributable.”
4 After section 150F (inserted by paragraph 3 of this Schedule) insert—
Schedule 5BB to this Act (which provides relief in respect of re-
investment under the seed enterprise investment scheme in the tax
year 2012-13) has effect.”
5 After Schedule 5B insert—
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.
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—
SA means the SEIS expenditure (ignoring this paragraph);
TSA means the total of the amounts subscribed for shares
issued in the tax year 2012-13 in respect of which the
investor is eligible for and claims SEIS relief for that tax
10year.
(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—
20“R1” means the amount of SEIS relief attributable to the
relevant SEIS shares when the relief is obtained;
“R2” means the amount of SEIS relief which would have
been so attributable in the absence of the reduction.
(5)
In a case where sub-paragraphs (2) and (4) both apply, sub-
25paragraph (2) is to be applied before sub-paragraph (4).
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.
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.
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—
“R1” is the total amount of the SEIS relief attributable to
those shares immediately before the reduction, and
35“R2” is the total amount of the SEIS relief attributable to
those shares immediately after the reduction.
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).
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.
8 (1) In this Schedule—
20“bonus shares” means shares which are issued otherwise
than for payment (whether in cash or otherwise);
“corresponding bonus shares”, in relation to any shares (“the
original shares”), means bonus shares which are in the
same company, of the same class, and carry the same rights
25as the original shares;
“SEIS relief” has the same meaning as in Part 5A of ITA 2007.
(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.”
