EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 115 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (“TCGA”) provides that gains on the disposal of “gilt-edged securities” are not chargeable gains. They are not therefore subject to capital gains tax (or, for companies, corporation tax). Paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 to TCGA provides that “gilt-edged securities” are those securities specified in Part II of that Schedule and such stocks and bonds issued under section 12 of the National Loans Act 1968 denominated in sterling and issued after 15th April 1969, as may be specified by order made by the Treasury. In the exercise of that power this Order specifies seven securities as “gilt-edged securities”.

A complete list of gilts to which this and previous Orders apply may be found on the government website at https://www.gov.uk/gilt-edged-securities-exempt-from-capital-gains-tax or obtained by writing to the HM Revenue and Customs Ministerial Correspondence Unit, 1st Floor, Ferrers House, PO Box 38, Castle Meadow Road, Nottingham, NG2 1BB.

A Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for this instrument as it contains no substantive changes to tax policy.
