490 of CTA 2009 (holdings in OEICs, unit trusts and offshore

company both at the end of one accounting period and at the
beginning of the next, and
30
(b)
that section applies to the holding for one of those periods but
not for the other.
(2)
The assumptions in subsections (3) and (4) apply for the purposes of
this Act if the accounting period for which section 490 of CTA 2009
applies to the relevant holding is the first of those periods.
35
(3)
The relevant holding is assumed to have ceased to be a relevant
holding for the second of those periods as a result of a transaction
such as is mentioned in section 116(1) (“the reorganisation
transaction”) occurring at the beginning of that period.
(4)
In relation to the reorganisation transaction within subsection (3), for
40
the purposes of section 116—
(a)
the relevant holding immediately before the beginning of the
second of those periods is assumed to be the old asset, and
(b)

this Act if the accounting period for which section 490 of CTA 2009
applies to the relevant holding is the second of those periods.
(6)
The holding is assumed to have become a relevant holding for the
second of those periods as a result of the occurrence at the end of first
5
period of a transaction such as is mentioned in section 116(1).
(7)
But subsection (6) does not apply if the first of those periods is a
period at the end of which a disposal of the relevant holding is
treated as having occurred under section 212 (annual deemed
disposal of holdings of unit trusts etc by insurance companies).
10

the purposes of section 116—

as having disposed of the share immediately before that time
for consideration of an amount equal to its fair value at that
time, and
