Changes to Legislation

Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.

6(1)Where a proportion of a participator’s share in the oil won and saved from an oil field (as distinct from a specific quantity of oil comprised in that share) is owned by [F1a person (in this paragraph referred to as “the owner”) who is not a participator and] who acquired it (whether directly or indirectly) under an agreement to which paragraph 5 above does not apply, the following provisions of this paragraph shall have effect.U.K.

(2)For the purposes of this Part of this Act the oil acquired by the owner under the agreement shall be treated in every case as having been disposed of to him by the participator otherwise than in a sale at arm’s length.

(3)Where any oil which the owner owns in right of the agreement is in pursuance of the agreement—

(a)delivered to the owner by the participator; or

(b)delivered to a third person by the participator acting on behalf of the owner,

the delivery shall for the purposes of this Part of this Act be regarded as a delivery by the participator although he does not own the oil.

(4)This sub-paragraph applies to all such oil (if any) as, being owned by the owner in right of the agreement, is in any chargeable period delivered by the participator as mentioned in the preceding sub-paragraph and would accordingly, apart from the following sub-paragraph, fall to be brought into account under section 2(5)(b) of this Act in computing the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to the participator in that period (in the following sub-paragraph referred to as “the relevant period”).

(5)If on a claim made by the participator within two months after the end of the relevant period—

(a)it is shown that some or all of the oil to which sub-paragraph (4) above applies has been disposed of by or on behalf of the owner crude in sales at arm’s length; and

(b)the Board are satisfied that the oil with respect to which it is so shown includes the whole of so much of the oil to which that sub-paragraph applies as has been so disposed of,

then, in computing the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to the participator in the relevant period, the oil with respect to which it is so shown shall be brought into account by reference to the price received or receivable for it by the owner instead of by reference to its market value.
