where—

connection with the acquisition of the qualifying IP assets

 

mentioned in subsection (1)(b),

 

B is the expenditure incurred by the company for or in

 

connection with the acquisition of the asset concerned and any

 

other relevant assets acquired with the business, and

 

N is 6.

 

(4)    

The Treasury may by regulations amend the meaning of N.

 

(5)    

In this section—

 

“expenditure” means expenditure that is—

 

(a)    

capitalised for accounting purposes, or

 

(b)    

recognised in determining the profit or loss of the

 

company concerned without being capitalised for

 

accounting purposes,

 

subject to any adjustments under this Part or Part 4 of TIOPA

 

2010;

 

“qualifying IP asset” has the same meaning as in section 879I

 

(see section 879J).

 

879N  

When the partial restrictions apply: acquisition from individual or

 

firm

 

(1)    

Section 879O (the partial restrictions on debits) also applies in respect

 

of a relevant asset of a company if—

 

(a)    

the company acquires the asset on or after 1 April 2019

 

directly or indirectly from an individual or firm (“the

 

transferor”),

 

(b)    

the related party condition is met,

 

(c)    

the third party acquisition condition is met, and

 

(d)    

the amount in subsection (6) is less than 1.

 

(2)    

But section 879O does not apply in respect of the relevant asset if

 

either of the following sections applies in respect of it—

 

(a)    

section 879C (restrictions on debits: pre-FA 2019 relevant

 

assets);

 

(b)    

section 879I (restrictions on debits: no business or no

 

qualifying IP assets acquired).

 

(3)    

The related party condition is met if—

 

(a)    

in a case where the transferor is an individual, the transferor is

 

a related party in relation to the company at the time of the

 

acquisition;

 

(b)    

in a case where the transferor is a firm, any individual who is

 

a member of the transferor is a related party in relation to the

 

company at that time.

 

(4)    

The third party acquisition condition is met if—

 

(a)    

in a case where the relevant asset is goodwill—

 

(i)    

the transferor acquired all or part of the relevant

 

business in one or more third party acquisitions as

 

part of which the transferor acquired goodwill, and

Finance (No. 3) Bill, continued

 
 

(ii)    

the relevant asset is acquired by the company as part

 

of an acquisition of all the relevant business;

 

(b)    

in a case where the relevant asset is not goodwill—

 

(i)    

the transferor acquired the relevant asset in a third

 

party acquisition, and

 

(ii)    

the relevant asset is acquired by the company as part

 

of an acquisition of all the relevant business.

 

(5)    

Section 879L (meaning of relevant business and third party

 

acquisition) applies for the purposes of this section.

 

(6)    

The amount is—
equation: over[char[A],char[B]]

 

    

where—

 

A is the relevant accounting value of third party acquisitions (see

 

subsections (7) to (9)), and

 

B is the expenditure incurred by the company for or in

 

connection with the acquisition of the relevant asset that is—

 

(a)    

capitalised by the company for accounting purposes,

 

or

 

(b)    

recognised in determining the company’s profit or

 

loss without being capitalised for accounting

 

purposes,

 

subject to any adjustments under this Part or Part 4 of TIOPA

 

2010.

 

(7)    

In a case in which the relevant asset is goodwill, the relevant

 

accounting value of third party acquisitions is the notional accounting

 

value of the goodwill mentioned in subsection (4)(a)(i) (“the

 

previously acquired goodwill”).

 

(8)    

In a case in which the relevant asset is not goodwill, the relevant

 

accounting value of third party acquisitions is the notional accounting

 

value of the relevant asset.

 

(9)    

The “notional accounting value” of the previously acquired goodwill,

 

or the relevant asset, is what its accounting value would have been in

 

GAAP-compliant accounts drawn up by the transferor—

 

(a)    

immediately before the relevant asset was acquired by the

 

company, and

 

(b)    

on the basis that the relevant business was a going concern.

 

879O  

The partial restrictions on debits

 

(1)    

Where this section applies in respect of a relevant asset of a company,

 

the following restrictions have effect.

 

(2)    

If a debit in respect of the relevant asset is to be brought into account

 

by the company for tax purposes under a provision of Chapter 3 (debits


 
 

Notices of Amendments: 20 December 2018                  

24

 

Finance (No. 3) Bill, continued

 
 

in respect of intangible fixed assets) or Chapter 15 (adjustments on

 

change of accounting policy), the amount of that debit is—
equation: cross[char[D],times[char[R],char[A]]]

 

    

where—

 

D is the amount of the debit that would be brought into account

 

disregarding this section (and, accordingly, for the purposes

 

of any calculation of the tax written-down value of the

 

relevant asset needed to determine D, this section’s effect in

 

relation to any debits previously brought into account is to be

 

disregarded), and

 

RA is the relevant amount (see subsection (6)).

 

(3)    

If, but for this section, a debit in respect of any of the relevant assets

 

would be brought into account by the company for tax purposes under

 

a provision of Chapter 4 (realisation of intangible fixed assets), the

 

following two debits are to be brought into account under that

 

provision instead—

 

(a)    

a debit determined in accordance with subsection (4), and

 

(b)    

a debit determined in accordance with subsection (5), which

 

is to be treated for the purposes of Chapter 6 as a non-trading

 

debit (“the non-trading debit”).

 

(4)    

The amount of the debit determined in accordance with this subsection

 

is—
equation: cross[char[D],times[char[R],char[A]]]

 

    

where—

 

D is the amount of the debit that would be brought into account

 

under Chapter 4 disregarding this section (and, accordingly,

 

for the purposes of any calculation of the tax written down

 

value of the relevant asset needed to determine D, this

 

section’s effect in relation to any debits previously brought

 

into account is to be disregarded), and

 

RA is the relevant amount (see subsection (6)).

 

(5)    

The amount of the non-trading debit is—
equation: plus[char[D],minus[times[char[T],char[D]]]]

 

    

where—

 

D is the amount of the debit that would be brought into account

 

under Chapter 4 disregarding this section (but, for the

 

purposes of any calculation of the tax written-down value of


 
 

Notices of Amendments: 20 December 2018                  

25

 

Finance (No. 3) Bill, continued

 
 

the relevant asset needed to determine D, this section’s effect

 

in relation to any debits previously brought into account is not

 

to be disregarded), and

 

TD is the amount of the debit determined in accordance with

 

subsection (4).

 

(6)    

In this section the “relevant amount” means—

 

(a)    

in a case where this section applies in respect of the relevant

 

asset by reason only of section 879M, the amount in

 

subsection (3) of that section;

 

(b)    

in a case where this section applies in respect of the relevant

 

asset by reason only of section 879N, the amount in

 

subsection (6) of that section;

 

(c)    

in a case where this section applies in respect of the relevant

 

asset by reason of both section 879M and 879N, the amount

 

found by multiplying the amount in subsection (3) of section

 

879M by the amount in subsection (6) of section 879N.

 

Supplementary

 

879P  

Date of acquisition of relevant asset

 

(11)    

A company that acquires a relevant asset in pursuance of an

 

unconditional obligation under a contract is to be treated for the

 

purposes of this Chapter as having acquired the asset on the date on

 

which the company became subject to that obligation or (if later) the

 

date on which that obligation became unconditional.

 

(2)    

An obligation is unconditional if it may not be varied or extinguished

 

by the exercise of a right (whether under contract or otherwise).”

 

7    (1)  

The amendments made by this Schedule have effect in relation to accounting

 

periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019.

 

      (2)  

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), an accounting period beginning before,

 

and ending on or after, 1 April 2019 is to be treated as if so much of the

 

accounting period as falls before that date, and so much of the accounting

 

period as falls on or after that date, were separate accounting periods.”

the individual holds at least 5% of the ordinary share capital

 

of the company,

 

(b)    

by virtue of that holding, at least 5% of the voting rights in the

 

company are exercisable by the individual, and

it is to be assumed that (so far as this is not otherwise the case)

 

the whole of the ordinary share capital is disposed of at that

 

time for a consideration equal to its market value on the final

 

day of the period,

 

(b)    

it is to be assumed that the amount of the proceeds to which

 

the individual would be beneficially entitled at that time is the

 

amount of the proceeds to which, having regard to all the

 

circumstances as they existed at that time, it would be

 

reasonable to expect the person to be beneficially entitled, and

For the purposes of subsection (3A)(c)—

 

(a)    

arrangements are “avoidance arrangements” if the main

 

purpose of, or one of the main purposes of, the arrangements

 

is to secure that any provision of this Chapter applies or does

 

not apply, and

 

(b)    

“arrangements” includes any agreement, understanding,

 

scheme, transaction or series of transactions (whether or not

 

legally enforceable).
