82Transfers between settlements

(1)If in a year of assessment for which section 80 or 81(2) above applies to a settlement (" the transferor settlement ") the trustees transfer all or part of the settled property to the trustees of another settlement (" the transferee settlement") then, subject to the following provisions—

(a)if section 80 applies to the transferee settlement for the year, its trust gains for the year shall be treated as increased by an amount equal to the outstanding trust gains for the year of the transferor settlement or, where part only of the settled property is transferred, to a proportionate part of those trust gains;

(b)if section 81(2) applies to the transferee settlement for the year (otherwise than by virtue of paragraph (c) below), the trust gains referred to in section 81(2) shall be treated as increased by the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) above;

(c)if (apart from this paragraph) neither section 80 nor section 81(2) above applies to the transferee settlement for the year, section 81(2) shall apply to it as if the year were the first year of a resident period succeeding a non-resident period and the trust gains referred to in section 81(2) were equal to the amount mentioned in paragraph (a) above.

(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, the reference in subsection (1)(a) above to the outstanding trust gains for the year of the transferor settlement is a reference to the amount of its trust gains for the year so far as they are not treated under section 80(3) above as chargeable gains accruing to beneficiaries in that year.

(3)Where section 81(2) above applies to the transferor settlement for the year, the reference in subsection (1)(a) above to the outstanding trust gains of the settlement is a reference to the trust gains referred to in section 81(2) so far as not treated as chargeable gains accruing to beneficiaries in that or an earlier year.

(4)This section shall not apply to a transfer so far as it is made for consideration in money or money's worth.
