CFM6320 - Taxing Loan relationships: anti-avoidance: shares as debt

When S91A-G have effect

Finance (No2) Act 2005 introduced anti-avoidance provisions to stop a range of financial product avoidance schemes which are intended to enable companies convert what is economically interest into either capital gains, dividends on UK shares or tax nothings.

FA96/S91A – G was introduced by F2A05/SCH7/PARA10, and the rules apply to shares held by a company on or after 16 March 2005 (i.e. Budget Day). CFM6376-8 describe the transitional rules which apply where shares begin or cease to be subject to these provisions.
