Part 1 Meaning of “closely-held company”

Introduction

1 30This Part of this Schedule sets out the rules for determining, for the
purposes of sections 14F and 14G, whether or not a company is a
closely-held company.

Main definition

2 (1) “Closely-held company” means a company in relation to which
35condition A or B is met.

(2) Condition A is that the company is under the control of 5 or fewer
participators.

(3) Condition B is that 5 or fewer participators together possess or are
entitled to acquire—

(a) such rights as would, in the event of the winding up of the
company (“the relevant company”) on the basis set out in
paragraph 3, entitle them to receive the greater part of the
assets of the relevant company which would then be
5available for distribution among the participators, or

(b) such rights as would, in that event, so entitle them if there
were disregarded any rights which any of them or any
other person has as a loan creditor (in relation to the
relevant company or any other company).

3 (1) 10This paragraph applies for the purposes of paragraph 2(3).

(2) In the notional winding up of the relevant company, the part of the
assets available for distribution among the participators which
any person is entitled to receive is the aggregate of—

(a) any part of those assets which the person would be entitled
15to receive in the event of the winding up of the relevant
company, and

(b) any part of those assets which the person would be entitled
to receive if—

(i) any other company which is a participator in the
20relevant company and is entitled to receive any
assets in the notional winding up were also wound
up on the basis set out in this paragraph, and

(ii) the part of the assets of the relevant company to
which the other company is entitled were
25distributed among the participators in the other
company in proportion to their respective
entitlement to the assets of the other company
available for distribution among the participators.

(3) In the application of sub-paragraph (2)—

(a) 30to the notional winding up of the other company
mentioned in paragraph (b) of that sub-paragraph, and

(b) to any further notional winding up required by that
paragraph (or by any further application of that
paragraph),

35references to “the relevant company” are to be read as references
to the company concerned.

4 (1) This paragraph applies for the purpose of determining whether,
under sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 2, 5 or fewer participators
together possess or are entitled to acquire rights such as are
40mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of that sub-paragraph.

(2) A person is to be treated as a participator in the relevant company
if the person is a participator in any other company which would
be entitled to receive assets in the notional winding up of the
relevant company on the basis set out in paragraph 3.

(3) 45No account is to be taken of a participator which is a company
unless the company possesses or is entitled to acquire the rights in
a fiduciary or representative capacity.

(4) But sub-paragraph (3) does not apply for the purposes of
paragraph 3.

5 (1) A company is not to be treated as a closely-held company if
condition A or B is met.

(a) would not be a closely-held company were it not for
paragraph (a) of paragraph 2(3) or paragraph (d) of
10paragraph 12(2), and

paragraphs 2(3)(a) and 12(2)(d) to participators did not
include loan creditors which are diversely-held companies
or qualifying institutional investors.

2004) other than—

(a) an investment-regulated pension scheme within the
meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 29A to that Act, or

(b) 30a pension scheme that would be an investment-regulated
pension scheme if it were a registered pension scheme.

(6) The Treasury may by regulations amend sub-paragraphs (4) and
(5).

(7) Regulations under sub-paragraph (6) may make incidental,
35consequential, supplementary or transitional provision or
savings.

6 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where a participator in a company is a
qualifying institutional investor.

(2) For the purpose of determining whether or not the company is a
40closely-held company, any share or interest which the qualifying
institutional investor has as a participator in the company (in any
of the ways set out in section 454(2) of CTA 2010 or otherwise) is

set out in section 454(2) of CTA 2010 or otherwise) is treated as a
5share or interest held by more than 5 participators.

(5) Sub-paragraph (4) does not apply to—

(a) any rights which would, in the event of the winding up of
the company (“the relevant company”) on the basis set out
in paragraph 3, or in any other circumstances, entitle the
10general partner (or a participator in the general partner) to
receive assets of the company which would then be
available for distribution among the participators, or

(b) any rights which would, in that event, so entitle the general
partner (or a participator in the general partner) if there

creditor (in relation to the relevant company or another
company).

business as a partner in a limited partnership who—

45of C,

(b) the greater part of the voting power in C,

(c) so much of the issued share capital of C as would, on the

(d) 5such rights as would entitle P, in the event of the winding
up of C or in any other circumstances, to receive the greater
part of the assets of C which would then be available for
distribution among the participators.

(3) Any rights that P or any other person has as a loan creditor are to

Part 2 Unit trust schemes and OEICs: widely-marketed schemes

Introduction

10 (1) This Part of this Schedule sets out the rules for determining, for the
5purposes of this Schedule and section 14F, whether or not a
scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time.

(2) In this Part of this Schedule “scheme” has the same meaning as in
section 14F.

Widely-marketed schemes

11 (1) 10A scheme is a widely-marketed scheme at any time when the
scheme meets conditions A to C.

(2) Condition A is that the scheme produces documents, available to
investors and to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, which
contain—

(a) 15a statement specifying the intended categories of investor,

(b) an undertaking that units in the scheme will be widely
available, and

(c) an undertaking that units in the scheme will be marketed
and made available in accordance with the requirements of
20sub-paragraph (5)(a).

(3) Condition B is that—

(a) the specification of the intended categories of investor does
not have a limiting or deterrent effect, and

(b) any other terms or conditions governing participation in
25the scheme do not have a limiting or deterrent effect.

(4) In sub-paragraph (3) “limiting or deterrent effect” means an effect
which—

(a) limits investors to a limited number of specific persons or
specific groups of connected persons, or

(b) 30deters a reasonable investor falling within one of (what are
specified as) the intended categories of investor from
investing in the scheme.

(a) units in the scheme are marketed and made available—

(i) 35sufficiently widely to reach the intended categories
of investors, and

(ii) in a manner appropriate to attract those categories
of investors, and

(b) a person who falls within one of the intended categories of
40investors can, upon request to the manager of the scheme,
obtain information about the scheme and acquire units in
it.

(6) A scheme is not regarded as failing to meet condition C at any time
by reason of the scheme’s having, at that time, no capacity to
receive additional investments, unless—

(a) the capacity of the scheme to receive investments in it is
5fixed by the scheme documents (or otherwise), and

(b) a pre-determined number of specific persons or specific
groups of connected persons make investments in the
scheme which collectively exhaust all, or substantially all,
of that capacity.

10Interpretation

12 In this Part of this Schedule—

• “open-ended investment company” has the same meaning as
  in Part 17 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
  (see section 236 of that Act);

• 15“units” means the rights or interests (however described) of
  the participants in a unit trust scheme or open-ended
  investment company.”

38 (1) Schedule 4ZZA (relevant high value disposals: gains and losses) is amended
as follows.

(2) 20In paragraph 1 the existing text becomes sub-paragraph (1).

(3) After that sub-paragraph insert—

“(2) See also Part 4 of Schedule 4ZZB, which—

(a) makes provision about non-resident CGT disposals which
are, or involve, relevant high value disposals, and

(b) 25includes provision about the computation of gains or
losses on such disposals which are neither NRCGT gains
or losses (as defined in section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) nor
ATED-related.”

(4) In paragraph 2(1), after paragraph (b) insert—

30“See also the special rule in paragraph 6 (which takes precedence
over paragraphs 3 and 4 where it applies).”

(5) In paragraph 5, after sub-paragraph (3) insert—

“(3A) An election made in relation to an asset under paragraph 2(1)(b) of
Schedule 4ZZB (disposals by non-residents etc of UK residential
35property interests: gains and losses) also has effect as an election
made under this paragraph in relation to the asset.”

(6) After paragraph 6 insert—

“Special rule for certain disposals to which both this Schedule and Schedule 4ZZB
relate

6A (1) 40This paragraph applies where conditions A and B are met.

(2) Condition A is that the relevant high value disposal is—

(a) a non-resident CGT disposal (see section 14B), or

(b) one of two or more disposals which are (by virtue of
section 2C and this Schedule) treated as comprised in a
non-resident CGT disposal.

(3) Condition B is that—

(a) 5the interest disposed of by the relevant high value disposal
was held by P on 5 April 2015,

(b) neither Case 2 nor Case 3 in paragraph 2 applies, and

(c) no election under paragraph 5 of this Schedule (or
paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 4ZZB) is or has been made
10in relation to the chargeable interest which (or a part of
which) is the subject of the relevant high value disposal.

(4) The ATED-related gain or loss accruing on the relevant high value
disposal is computed as follows.

Step 1

15Determine the amount of the post-April 2015 ATED-related gain
or loss.

Step 2

Determine the amount of the pre-April 2015 ATED-related gain or
loss.

20Step 3

Add—

• (a)the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 1,
  and

• (b)the amount of any gain or loss determined under Step 2,

25(treating any amount which is a loss as a negative amount).

If the result is a positive amount, that amount is the ATED-related
gain on the relevant high value disposal.

(5) The post-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss is equal to the
30amount that would be given by paragraph 3(1) as the amount of
the ATED-related gain or loss if the relevant year for the purposes
of that paragraph were 2015.

(6) The “pre-April 2015 ATED-related gain or loss” means the
relevant fraction of the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss.

(7) 35“The relevant fraction” is—

“CD” is the number of days in the relevant ownership period
which are ATED chargeable days;

(8) 40If the interest disposed of was not held by P on 5 April 2013, the
“notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” is the gain or loss which
would have accrued on 5 April 2015 had the interest been

disposed of on that date for a consideration equal to its market
value on that date.

(9) If the interest disposed of was held by P on 5 April 2013, the
“notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss” is the gain or loss which
5would have accrued on 5 April 2015 if P had—

(a) acquired the interest on 5 April 2013 for a consideration
equal to its market value on that date, and

(b) disposed of it on 5 April 2015 for a consideration equal to
its market value on that date.

(10) 10Paragraph 3(3) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (8) and
(9) as for the purposes of paragraph 3(2).

(11) In sub-paragraph (7) “relevant ownership period” means the
period—

(a) beginning with the day on which P acquired the
15chargeable interest or, if later, 6 April 2013, and

(b) ending with 5 April 2015.

(12) For how to compute the amount of the gain or loss on the relevant
high value disposal that is neither ATED-related nor an NRCGT
gain or loss (as defined in section 57B and Schedule 4ZZB) see
20paragraphs 16 to 19 of Schedule 4ZZB.”

(7) After paragraph 7 insert—

“Wasting assets

8 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is necessary, in computing in
accordance with paragraph 3(2) the notional post-commencement
25gain or loss accruing to a person on a relevant high value disposal,
to determine whether or not the interest which is the subject of the
disposal is a wasting asset.

(2) The assumption in paragraph 3(2) that the interest was acquired
on a particular 5 April is to be ignored in determining that
30question.

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies where it is necessary, in computing in
accordance with paragraph 6A(9) the notional pre-April 2015 gain
or loss accruing to a person on a disposal, to determine whether or
not the interest which is the subject of the disposal is a wasting
35asset.

(4) The assumption in paragraph 6A(9) that the interest was acquired
on a 5 April 2013 is to be ignored in determining that question.

(5) In this paragraph references to a “wasting asset” are to a wasting
asset as defined for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of this Act.

40Capital allowances

9 (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where it is to be assumed for the
purpose of computing—

(a) the notional post-commencement gain or loss accruing to a
person on a relevant high value disposal in accordance
with paragraph 3(2), or

(b) the notional pre-April 2015 gain or loss accruing to a
5person on a disposal in accordance with paragraph 6A(9),

that an asset was acquired by a person on 5 April 2013 for a
consideration equal to its market value on that date.

(2) For the purposes of that computation, sections 41 (restriction of
losses by reference to capital allowances etc) and 47 (wasting
10assets qualifying for capital allowances) are to apply in relation to
any capital allowance or renewals allowance made in respect of
the expenditure actually incurred by the person in acquiring or
providing the asset as if that allowance were made in respect of the
expenditure treated as incurred by the person on 5 April 2013 as
15mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).”

39 After Schedule 4ZZA insert—

1 (1) 20This Schedule applies for the purpose of determining, in relation
to a non-resident CGT disposal made by a person (“P”)—
