535A Gains: disposals of rights or interests in UK property rich companies

(1) 15This section applies if—

disposes of an asset, and

(b) the asset consists of a right or an interest in a company (“B”)
which is UK property rich.

(2) 20The appropriate proportion of a gain accruing to A on the disposal is
not a chargeable gain.

(3) The asset disposed of is regarded for the purposes of section 550 as
used for the purposes of A’s property rental business to an extent
equal to the appropriate proportion.

(4) 25In the case of a non-UK member of a group UK REIT, this section has
effect as if any reference to property rental business of the member
were to its UK property rental business.

(5) In relation to a disposal of a right or interest in B—

(a) B is “UK property rich” for the purposes of this section if the
30disposal would be regarded for the purposes of Schedule 1A
to TCGA 1992 as a disposal of an asset deriving at least 75%
of its value from UK land, and

is to the proportion that, at the beginning of the accounting
35period in which the disposal is made, the value of B’s
relevant PRB assets bears to the total value of B’s assets.

533(1)(d), and

(c) if the asset disposed of was acquired after the beginning of
the accounting period, it is to be assumed that an accounting
45period began on the day on which the disposal is made.

(7) Any reference in this section to the disposal of a right or interest in B
includes the disposal of a right or interest in an offshore collective
investment scheme (a “relevant fund”)—

(a) to which paragraph 8 of Schedule 5AAA to TCGA 1992
5applies, but

(b) in relation to which an election under that paragraph has not
been made.

(8) In the case of a disposal which is, as a result of subsection (7), a
disposal of a right or interest in B, the value of B’s relevant PRB assets
10for the purposes of subsection (5)(b) is taken to be—

(a) the value of B’s assets that are used for the purposes of UK
property rental business, plus

(b) the value of B’s assets deriving indirectly from assets held by
a relevant fund that are used for the purposes of UK property
15rental business.

(9) This section is to be read as if it were contained in TCGA 1992.

(10) Apart from subsection (7) of section 535, nothing else in that section

TCGA 1992 applies in relation to the gain (no chargeable gain
accruing on disposals of certain shares by qualifying
institutional investors), or

(b) so far as sub-paragraph (4) of that paragraph applies to
25reduce the amount of the gain.

535B Section 535A: use of pre-April 2019 residual business losses or deficits

(1) In determining the amount of a gain accruing to a company which is
not to be a chargeable gain as a result of section 535A, any pre-April
2019 residual business losses or deficits which—

(a) 30have not been deducted from (or taken into account in
calculating) other profits or gains (of any kind) of the
company or any other person, and

(b) have not previously been deducted under this subsection,

may be deducted from the gain.

(2) 35For this purpose “pre-April 2019 residual business losses or deficits”
means—

(a) allowable losses accruing on disposals made before 6 April
2019, or

(b) deficits or other losses for accounting periods ending before
40that date,

which would otherwise have been deducted from (or taken into
account in calculating) profits or gains (of any kind) accruing to
residual business of the company.

(3) If an accounting period (a “straddling period”) begins before and
45ends on or after 6 April 2019—

(a) so much of the straddling period as falls before that date, and
so much of it as falls on or after that date, are to be treated as
separate accounting periods, and

Finance (No. 3) BillPage 167

(b) if it is necessary to apportion an amount for the straddling
period to the two separate accounting periods, it is to be
apportioned—

(i) on a time basis according to the respective length of
5the separate accounting periods, or

(ii) if that would produce a result that is unjust or
unreasonable, on a just and reasonable basis.”

115 In section 547 (funds awaiting reinvestment), at the end insert—

(6) This section also applies to proceeds held in cash by a company on a
10disposal of an asset so far as section 535A secures that the
appropriate proportion of a gain or loss accruing on the disposal is
not a chargeable gain or allowable loss.”

535A”.

(a) one or more properties acquired (directly or indirectly) by a
20relevant UK property rich company have been developed
since acquisition,

(b) the cost of the development exceeds 30% of the fair value of
the property (determined in accordance with international
accounting standards) at entry or at acquisition, whichever is
25later,

(c) C disposes of any of its rights or interests in the relevant UK
property rich company,

(d) the disposal is made within the period of 3 years beginning
with the completion of the development, and

(e) 30if C is a member of a UK REIT, the disposal is not to another
member of the UK REIT.

(3B) If this subsection applies, section 535A is not to apply in relation to
so much of the amount of a gain accruing on the disposal as relates
to the property which has been developed.

(3C) 35For the purposes of subsection (3A)—

(a) a company is a “relevant UK property rich company” if, as a
result of section 535A, any part of a gain accruing to C on a
disposal of a right or interest in the company would not be a
chargeable gain, and

(b) 40a relevant UK property rich company acquires property
“indirectly” if property is acquired by someone other than the
relevant UK property rich company and the property is taken
into account in determining the value of the assets of the
relevant UK property rich company.”
