Part 2 Certain transfers under scheme under section 166 or 167

Interpretation of Part 2 of Schedule

2 15In this Part of this Schedule—

Computation of profits and losses in respect of transfer of a trade

3 (1) This paragraph applies where a taxable public body (“the predecessor”) is
carrying on a trade or part of a trade and, as a result of a transfer scheme
under section 166 or 167—

(a) 45the predecessor ceases to carry on that trade or part of a trade, and

Localism BillPage 399

(b) another taxable public body (“the successor”) begins to carry on that
trade or part.

(2) For the purposes of calculating, in relation to the time when the scheme
comes into force and subsequent times, the relevant trading profits or losses
5of the predecessor and the successor—

(a) the trade or part is to be treated as having been a separate trade at the
time of its commencement and as having been carried on by the
successor at all times since its commencement as a separate trade,
and

(b) 10the trade carried on by the successor after the time when the scheme
comes into force is to be treated as the same trade as that which the
successor is treated, by virtue of paragraph (a), as having carried on
as a separate trade before that time.

(3) If a trade or part of a trade is to be treated under this paragraph as a separate
15trade, such apportionments of receipts, expenses, assets and liabilities are to
be made for the purposes of computing relevant trading profits or losses as
may be just and reasonable.

(4) This paragraph is subject to the other provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

(5) In this paragraph “relevant trading profits or losses” means profits or losses
20under Part 3 of CTA 2009 in respect of the trade or part of a trade in question.

Transfers of trading stock

4 (1) This paragraph applies if—

(a) under a relevant transfer, trading stock of the transferor is
transferred to the transferee,

(b) 25immediately after the transfer takes effect, the stock is to be treated
as trading stock of the transferee, and

(c) paragraph 3 does not apply in relation to the transfer.

(2) Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) have effect in calculating for any corporation tax
purpose both—

(a) 30the profits of the trade in relation to which the stock is trading stock
immediately before the transfer takes effect (“the transferor’s trade”),
and

(b) the profits of the trade in relation to which it is to be treated as
trading stock (“the transferee’s trade”).

(3) 35The stock is to be treated as having been—

(a) disposed of by the transferor in the course of the transferor’s trade,

(b) acquired by the transferee in the course of the transferee’s trade, and

(c) subject to that, disposed of and acquired when the transfer takes
effect.

(4) 40The stock is to be valued as if the disposal and acquisition had been for a
consideration which in relation to the transferor would have resulted in
neither a profit nor a loss being brought into account in respect of the
disposal in the accounting period of the transferor which ends with, or is
current at, the time when the transfer takes effect.

(5) 45In this paragraph “trading stock” has the meaning given by section 163 of
CTA 2009.
