CG61976 - Roll-over relief on transfer of shares to Share Incentive Plan: acquisition conditions: replacement assets
To qualify for relief, the person making the disposal must
acquire replacement assets, TCGA92/SCH7C/PARA3. These are assets
which are:
- chargeable assets in relation to the claimant at the time they are acquired
but are not
- shares in, or debentures issued by, the company or any company which is in the same worldwide group as the company. The word, group, uses the wider definition in TCGA92/S171 introduced by FA2000/SCH29.
An asset is a chargeable asset if a chargeable gain would arise
on its disposal. This assumes that the person making the disposal
is either resident or ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom or,
if not, is carrying on a business here. An asset will not qualify
as a replacement asset if any gain on its disposal would not be
subject to Capital Gains Tax by virtue of Double Taxation Relief.
There are special rules which apply where the replacement
asset is:
- property which qualifies for private residence relief
or
- shares which qualify for relief under the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
