Part V: Transfer of business assets, business asset disposal relief and investors' relief — Chapter 3: business asset disposal relief

This section applies where, on a disposal of trust business assets, there is (in addition to the qualifying beneficiary) at least one other beneficiary who, at the material time, has an interest in possession in—

the whole of the settled property, or
a part of it which consists of or includes the shares or securities (or interests in shares or securities) or assets (or interests in assets) disposed of.

Only the relevant proportion of the amount which would otherwise result under subsection (1) of section 169N is to be treated as so resulting.

And the balance of that amount, ... , is accordingly a chargeable gain for the purposes of this Act.

For the purposes of this section "the relevant proportion" of an amount is the same proportion of the amount as that which, at the material time—

the qualifying beneficiary's interest in the income of the part of the settled property comprising the shares or securities (or interests in shares or securities) or assets (or interests in assets) disposed of, bears to
the interests in that income of all the beneficiaries (including the qualifying beneficiary) who then have interests in possession in that part of the settled property.

In subsection (4) "the qualifying beneficiary's interest" means the interest by virtue of which he is the qualifying beneficiary (and not any other interest the qualifying beneficiary may have).

In this section "the material time" means the end of the latest period of 2 years which ends not earlier than 3 years before the date of the disposal and—

in the case of a disposal of settlement business assets within paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section 169J, throughout which the conditions in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (4) of that section are met, and
in the case of a disposal of settlement business assets within paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of that section, throughout which the business is carried on by the qualifying beneficiary.
