Section 101C: Transfer within group to venture capital trust., Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992

This section applies where—

an asset has been disposed of to a company (the "acquiring company") and the disposal has been treated by virtue of section 171(1) as giving rise to neither a gain nor a loss,

at the time of the disposal the acquiring company was not a venture capital trust, and

the conditions set out in subsection (2) below are satisfied by the acquiring company.

Those conditions are satisfied by the acquiring company if—

it becomes a venture capital trust by virtue of an approval having effect as from a time (the "time of approval") not more than 6 years after the time of the disposal,

at the time of approval the company owns, otherwise than as trading stock—

the asset, or

property to which a chargeable gain has been carried forward from the asset on a replacement of business assets,

it has not been a venture capital trust at any earlier time since the time of the disposal, and

at the time of approval, there has not been an event by virtue of which it falls by virtue of section 179(3) or 101A(3) to be treated as having sold, and immediately reacquired, the asset at the time specified in subsection (3) below.

The acquiring company shall be treated for all the purposes of this Act as if immediately after the disposal it had sold, and immediately reacquired, the asset at its market value at that time.

Any chargeable gain or allowable loss which, apart from this subsection, would accrue to the acquiring company on the sale referred to in subsection (3) above shall be treated as accruing to it immediately before the time of approval.

Subsections (5) to (7) of section 101A apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section.

Notwithstanding any limitation on the time for making assessments, any assessment to corporation tax chargeable in consequence of this section may, in a case in which the time of approval is the time at which an accounting period of the company begins, be made at any time within 6 years after the end of that accounting period.

Any reference in this section to an approval is a reference to an approval for the purposes of Part 6 of ITA 2007.
