(d) the part attributable to any shares in a company of the amount of an excess of total development gains over total development losses shall be the sum which that amount would add to the distributions made in respect of those shares in a winding-up of the company if the amount represented assets of the company, and if apart from that amount the assets of the company were enough, and no more than enough, to ensure the satisfaction of its liabilities (including the return of share capital), and the part of any such amount which is directly or indirectly attributable under this paragraph to shares held by a company shall (so far as is necessary for the determination of any question as to the tax chargeable in consequence of this section) be apportioned by the like method between the shares in that company to arrive at the part attributable to any of those shares.

(d) “value”, in relation to the relevant land of a company or unauthorised unit trust, means market value;
(e) the net value of the assets of a company other than a unit trust scheme is the net value they would have on a sale in the open market of the business of the company as a going concern; and

shall not be relevant land in relation to the company for the purposes of subsections (6) and (7) above, nor shall its interest in the site of any such building or part of a building (including in the site any land in the immediate vicinity of the building which the company or, as the case may be, that other member of the group occupies for purposes ancillary to its occupation and use of the building or part of a building).

(b) shall apply in relation to the discharge of the functions of a public authority, and to the occupation of woodlands where the woodlands are managed by the occupier on a commercial basis and with a view to the realisation of profits, as they apply in relation to a trade;
and section 272 of the Taxes Act (groups of companies: definitions) shall apply for the purposes of those subsections as it applies for the purposes of sections 273 to 281 of that Act.
(11) In the case of a close company (within the meaning of this Chapter) which for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts is not a close company because it falls within section 282(4) or 283 of the Taxes Act, subsection (6)(b) above shall, except in relation to an excepted person, have effect as if for “ “10 per cent.”” there were substituted “ “20 per cent.””.

Section 38

PART I DEFINITIONS OF CURRENT USE VALUE, MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT, ETC.

Definition of current use value
1 (1) For the purpose of the principal section and this Schedule the current use value of an interest in land shall be ascertained in accordance with this Part of this Schedule; and in this Part of this Schedule the time as at which current use value is to be ascertained is referred to as “the relevant time”.
(2) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the current use value of an interest in land at the relevant time is the market value of that interest at that time calculated on the assumption that it was at that time, and would continue to be, unlawful to carry out any material development of the land other than any material development thereof which, being authorised by planning permission in force at that time, was begun before that time.
SeeCapital Gains Tax Act 1979 (c. 14, SIF 63:1) Sch.5 para. 9(5)—current use value to be computed for purposes of that para. in accordance with Sch.3 Part I,but excluding words
“other than”
onwards in Sch.3 para.1(2)in relation to material development begun before 18December 1973.
(3) In this paragraph “planning permission”has the same meaning as in theTown and Country Planning Act 1971, or, in Scotland, theTown and Country Planning ( Scotland) Act 1972, or, in Northern Ireland, thePlanning ( Northern Ireland) Order 1972; and in determining for the purposes of this paragraph what material development of any land was authorised by planning permission at a time when there was in force in respect of the land planning permission granted on an outline application ( that is to say, an application for planning permission subject to subsequent approval on any matters), any such development of the land which at that time—
(a) was authorised by that permission without any requirement as to subsequent approval; or
(b) not being so authorised, had been approved in the manner applicable to that planning permission,
but no other material development, shall for the purposes be taken to have been authorised by that permission at that time.

2 (1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) below, this paragraph shall apply as regards the current use value of an interest in land which has been disposed of by way of a part disposal of an asset ( in this paragraph referred to as “the relevant asset”) consisting of an interest in land.
(2) The current use value at the relevant time of the interest disposed of shall be the relevant fraction of the current use value of the relevant asset at that time, calculated on the same assumptions as to the lawfulness or otherwise of any material development as fall to be made under this Schedule in calculating the current use value at that time of the interest disposed of.
(3) For the purposes of the preceding sub-paragraph “the relevant fraction”means that fraction of the sums mentioned in the following sub-paragraph which under [ subsection (2) of section 35 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 ] is, or would but for [ subsection (4) of that section] be, allowable as a deduction in computing under [ ChapterIIof PartIIof that Act] the amount of the gain accruing on the part disposal.

(4) The sums referred to in the preceding sub-paragraph are the sums which, if the entire relevant asset had been disposed of at the time of the part disposal, would be allowable by virtue of [ section 32 (1)(a) and (b) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 ] as a deduction in computing under [ ChapterIIof PartIIof that Act] the gain accruing on that disposal of the relevant asset.
(5) Sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) above shall not apply—
(a) in the case of a disposal of an interest in land by way of a part disposal if, on making the disposal, the person doing so no longer has any interest in the land which is subject to that interest; or

(6) In computing under this Chapter any gain accruing to a person on a part disposal of a lease which is a wasting asset by way of the grant of a sub-lease for a premium, the current use value of the lease at the time of its acquisition by the person making the disposal shall be the relevant fraction of what its current use value at that time would be apart from sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) above.
(7) For the purposes of the preceding sub-paragraphs “the relevant fraction” means that fraction of the expenditure attributable to the lease under [ section 32(1)(a) and (b) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 ] which under paragraph 4 of [ Schedule 3 to that Act ( sub-leases out of short leases) falls to be apportioned to what is disposed of.
3 In computing under this Chapter any gain accruing to a person on a part disposal of an interest in land resulting under [ subsection (1) of section 20 of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 ] from the receipt as mentioned in paragraph (a), (c) or (d) of that subsection of a capital sum, the current use value at the relevant time of the interest out of which the part disposal was made shall be taken to be what it would have been at that time if the circumstances which caused the capital sum to be received had not arisen.

(2) If under the preceding sub-paragraph an interest under a lease or agreement for a lease would have a negative value, the current use value of the interest shall be nil.
(3) If a lease is granted out of any interest in land after 17 th December 1973, then, in computing under this Chapter any gain accruing on any disposal of the reversion on the lease made while the lease subsists, the current use value of the reversion at any time after the grant of the lease shall not exceed what would have been at that time the current use value of the interest in the land of the person then owning the reversion if that interest had not been subject to the lease.
(4) In the application of this paragraph to Scotland, “freehold”means the estate or interest of the proprietor of the dominium utile or, in the case of property other than feudal property, of the owner, and “reversion”means the interest of the landlord in property subject to a lease.

Replacement of business assets
18 (1) If the consideration which a person carrying on a trade obtains for the disposal of, or of his interest in, assets ( in this paragraph referred to as “the old assets”) used, and used only, for the purposes of the trade throughout the period of ownership is wholly or partly applied by him in acquiring other assets, or an interest in other assets ( in this paragraph referred to as “the new assets”) which on the acquisition are taken into use, and used only, for the purposes of the trade,and—
(a) the old assets and new assets are within the classes of assets listed in subsection (6) of [ section 118 ( with section 119) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 ] ( replacement of business assets) and the old assets consist of or include land in the United Kingdom; and

(c) development gains accrue to the person carrying on the trade in respect of the disposal; and
(d) the amount of the consideration for the disposal applied as aforesaid is greater than the difference between the whole of that consideration and the amount of those development gains,
then, if the person carrying on the trade makes a claim as respects those development gains, the provisions of sub-paragraphs (2) to (5) below shall apply.
(2) There shall be ascertained the following amounts, that is to say—
(a) the amount by which so much of the consideration for the disposal as has been applied as described in sub-paragraph (1) above exceeds the difference mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(d) above; and
(b) the amount of the consideration for the disposal which has been so applied in acquiring qualifying assets;
and in the following provisions of this paragraph “the material amount”means whichever of those amounts is the smaller ( or, if they are equal, the amount which is equal to each of them).

(a) 30 per cent. of what is, under sub-paragraph (5) below, the appropriate amount;
(b) 30 per cent. of the amount, if any, by which the development gains accruing to him in that chargeable period exceed the development losses, if any, accruing to him in that period ( so that if the amount under this head is nil, no reduction will fall to be made under this sub-paragraph);
(c) the total amount of the income tax for which he is liable for that chargeable period or, in the case of a company, the total amount of the corporation tax for which the company is liable for that chargeable period after setting against that liability the amount of any advance corporation tax falling to be set against it under section 85 of the Finance Act 1972, but before any set-off under subsection (5) of section 240 of the Taxes Act ( income tax on distributions etc. received by U.K. company).
For the purposes of paragraph (b) of this sub-paragraph a man and his wife living with him shall be treated as one person if the result of so treating them is to increase the amount given by that paragraph.
(4) Where a reduction falls to be made under the preceding sub-paragraph, the person carrying on the trade shall be treated for the purposes of [ the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 ] as if the consideration for the acquisition of, or of the interest in, such of the new assets as are qualifying assets were reduced ( or further reduced) by what is, under sub-paragraph (5) below, the appropriate amount; but this sub-paragraph shall not affect the treatment for those purposes of the other party to the transaction involving the old assets or of the other party to the transaction involving the new assets.

(c) any reference to an expenditure reduction of any amount being carried forward to any asset is a reference to a reduction of that amount in expenditure allowable in respect of that asset.
(2) If asset No. 2 is a depreciating asset, the expenditure reduction shall not be carried forward, but—
(a) when the claimant disposes of asset No. 2, or
(b) when he ceases to use asset No. 2 for the purposes of a trade carried on by him, or
(c) on the expiration of a period of ten years beginning with the acquisition of asset No. 2,
whichever event comes first, an amount equal to the tax reduction may be assessed to tax and recovered accordingly.
Any assessment to income tax or corporation tax under this paragraph shall be made under CaseVIof Schedule D.
(3) If, in the circumstances specified in sub-paragraph (4) below, the claimant acquires an asset ( called “asset No. 3”) which is not a depreciating asset, and so claims under paragraph 18 above—
(a) the expenditure reduction shall be carried forward to asset No. 3, and
(b) the claim which applies to asset No. 2 shall be treated as withdrawn ( so that sub-paragraph (2) above does not apply).
(4) The circumstances are that asset No. 3 is acquired not later than the occurrence of whichever of the events mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above comes first and, assuming—
(a) that the consideration for asset No. 1 was applied in acquiring asset No. 3, and
(b) that the time between the disposal of asset No. 1 and the acquisition of asset No. 3 was within the time limited by section 115(3) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979 as applied by paragraph 18(6) above,
the whole amount of the expenditure reduction could be carried forward from asset No. 1 to asset No. 3; and the claim under sub-paragraph (3) above shall be accepted as if those assumptions were true.
(5) For the purposes of this paragraph an asset is a depreciating asset at any time if—
(a) at that time it is a wasting asset as defined in section 37(1) of the Capital Gains Tax Act 1979, or
(b) within the period of ten years beginning at that time it will become a wasting asset ( so defined).
(6) This paragraph shall be construed as one with paragraph 18 above.]

(4) Where the terms subject to which a lease is or is to be granted impose or are to impose on the lessee an obligation to carry out any work on the premises, the lease shall for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) above be deemed to have required, or to be one that will require the payment of a premium to the lessor (in addition to any other premium) of an amount equal to the amount by which the value of the interest of the lessor immediately after the commencement of the lease exceeds or will exceed what its then value would have been or would be if the said terms did not or were not to impose that obligation on the lessee.

(3) If the interest in question is an agreement for a lease and the person goes into occupation of the part in question under a lease granted in pursuance of that agreement, sub-paragraph (2) above shall apply as if he had gone into occupation in right of the agreement.
