"Restriction on set-off of trust losses.     79A. - (1) This section applies to a chargeable gain accruing to the trustees of a settlement where-
 
    (a) in computing the gain, the allowable expenditure is reduced in consequence, directly or indirectly, of a claim to gifts relief in relation to an earlier disposal to the trustees;
 
    (b) the transferor on that earlier disposal, or any person connected with the transferor, has at any time-

      (2) Where this section applies to a chargeable gain, no allowable losses accruing to the trustees (in the year in which the gain accrues or any earlier year) may be set against the gain.
 
  This applies to the whole of the chargeable gain (and not just the element deferred as a result of the claim to gifts relief).
 
      (3) In this section-
 
 
    (a) "gifts relief" means relief under section 165 or 260; and
 
    (b) references to losses not being allowed to be set against a chargeable gain are to the losses not being allowed as a deduction against chargeable gains to the extent that they include that gain.
      (4) The references in subsection (1)(b) above to an interest in settled property have the same meaning as in Schedule 4A.".

    (c) had the company mentioned in paragraph (b) (and any other relevant company) not been resident in the United Kingdom, all or part of the chargeable gain would have been attributed to the trustees by reason of their participation in the company mentioned in subsection (1) above,
  section 13(9) shall apply as if the company mentioned in paragraph (b) above (and any other relevant company) were not resident in the United Kingdom.
 
      (4) The references in subsection (3) above to "any other relevant company" are to any other company which if it were not resident in the United Kingdom would be a company in relation to which section 13(9) applied with the result that all or part of the chargeable gain was attributed to the trustees as mentioned in that subsection.".
