Claim to hold gain over while invested in a social enterprise

4 (1) The investor may make a claim for the original gain to be
reduced—

(a) in a case within paragraph 1, by the amount invested, or by
25a part of that amount specified in the claim, or

(b) in a case within paragraph 2, to the extent specified in the
claim,

but, in either case, subject as follows.

(2) The reduction may not be more than the original gain or, if the
30original gain has already been reduced under one or more of the
listed provisions, the reduction may not be more than the reduced
gain.

(3) In a case within paragraph 1, the claim may not relate to any part
of the amount invested that under any of the listed provisions has
35already been set against a chargeable gain.

(4) The “listed provisions” are—

then, for the purposes of this Schedule, that relief—

(a) is attributable to the asset or assets that form the social
holding, but

(b) ceases to be attributable to any particular asset, or to any
particular part of a particular asset, when—

(i) 5a chargeable event occurs in relation to that asset or

Held-over gain treated as accruing on disposal etc of the qualifying investment

5 (1) This paragraph applies if there has been a reduction under

holding without any chargeable event having previously occurred
in relation to any of the holding.

(3) 15When a chargeable event occurs in relation to part only of the
social holding without any chargeable event having previously
occurred in relation to any of that part, a chargeable gain
calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (4) is treated as
accruing.

(4) 20The calculation is—

Step 1

Subtract from the amount of the reduction any chargeable gains
previously treated as accruing as a result of the operation of sub-
paragraph (3).

25Step 2

Attribute a proportionate part of the amount calculated at Step 1
to each part of the social holding held, immediately before the
occurrence of the chargeable event in question, by the investor or
a person who has acquired any part of the holding from the
30investor on a disposal within marriage or civil partnership.

Step 3

Chargeable events

6 (1) A chargeable event occurs in relation to an asset that forms the
whole or any part of the social holding if (after the acquisition of
35the holding)—

partnership,

(2) 5In the event of the death of—

(a) the investor, or

(b) a person who, on a disposal within marriage or civil
partnership, has acquired the whole or any part of the
social holding,

10nothing which occurs at or after the time of death is a chargeable
event in relation to any part of the holding held by the deceased
person immediately before the time of death.

(3) If a person makes a disposal of assets of a particular class while
retaining other assets of that class—

(a) 15assets of that class acquired by the person on an earlier day
are treated for the purposes of this Schedule as disposed of
before assets of that class acquired by the person on a later
day, and

(b) assets of that class acquired by the person on the same day
20are treated for the purposes of this Schedule as disposed of
in the following order—

(i) first, any to which neither relief under this
Schedule, nor SI relief under Part 5B of ITA 2007, is
attributable,

(ii) 25next, any to which relief under this Schedule, but
not SI relief under that Part, is attributable,

(iii) next, any to which SI relief under that Part, but not
relief under this Schedule, is attributable, and

(iv) finally, any to which both SI relief under that Part,
30and relief under this Schedule, are attributable.

(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), assets—

(a) to which relief under this Schedule is attributable, and

(b) which have not been held continuously by the investor
since the social holding was acquired,

35are treated as having been acquired when the social holding was
acquired if SI relief under Part 5B of ITA 2007 is not also
attributable to them.

(5) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), assets—

(a) to which SI relief under Part 5B of ITA 2007 is attributable,
40and

(b) which were transferred to an individual as mentioned in
section 257T of ITA 2007 (transfers between spouses or
civil partners),

are treated as having been acquired when the social holding was
45acquired.

(6) Chapter 1 of Part 4 of this Act has effect subject to sub-paragraphs
(3) to (5).

(7) Sections 104, 105 and 106A do not apply to assets to which relief
under this Schedule is attributable if SI relief under Part 5B of ITA
2007 is not also attributable to them.

(8) Where, at the time of a chargeable event, an asset that formed the
5whole or any part of the social holding is treated for the purposes
of this Act as represented by assets which consist of or include
assets other than that asset—

(a) so much of the original gain as is attributable to the asset is
treated, in determining for the purposes of this paragraph
10the amount of the original gain to be treated as attributable
to each of those assets, as apportioned in such manner as
may be just and reasonable between those assets, and

(b) as between different assets treated as representing the
same asset, sub-paragraphs (3) to (5) apply with the
15necessary modifications in relation to those assets as they
would apply in relation to the asset.

(9) In order to determine, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (8), the
amount of the original gain attributable to any asset, a
proportionate part of the amount of the original gain is to be
20attributed to each asset that forms the whole or any part of so
much of the social holding as is held, immediately before the
occurrence of the chargeable event in question, by the investor or
a person who has acquired any part of the social holding from the
investor on a disposal within marriage or civil partnership.

(10) 25In subsections (8) and (9) references to the original gain are to so
much of the original gain as remains after deduction from it of the
amount of any chargeable gain treated as accruing as a result of
the previous operation of paragraph 5.

Person to whom held-over gain is treated as accruing

7 (1) 30This paragraph applies where a chargeable gain is treated as
accruing as a result of the operation of paragraph 5.

(2) If the chargeable event is a disposal, that chargeable gain is treated
as accruing to the person who makes the disposal.

(3) If the chargeable event occurs—

(a) 35when an asset, or part of an asset, is cancelled,
extinguished, redeemed or repaid, or

(b) when a condition, for eligibility for relief in respect of the
consideration given for the acquisition of an asset, fails to
be met,

40that chargeable gain is treated as accruing to the person who holds
the asset, or part, when the chargeable event occurs.

Claims: procedure

8 (1) Sections 257P(1), 257PA(1) and 257PB to 257PD of ITA 2007—

(a) apply in relation to a claim under this Schedule in respect
45of the social holding as they apply in relation to a claim
under Part 5B to ITA 2007 in respect of an investment, and

(b) as they so apply, have effect as if any reference to the
requirements for relief under that Part were a reference to
the conditions for the application of this Schedule.

(2) In section 257PE(2) of ITA 2007 (power to make consequential
5amendments etc when amending provision about claims for SI
