EXPLANATION
A. IMMEDIATE ISSUE OF QCBS
A chargeable gain is calculated in respect of the debenture received which is a QCB. This gain is held over until the debenture is disposed of (TCGA92/S116(10)). This is often when the debenture is redeemed.
B. RIGHT TO UNASCERTAINABLE DEFERRED CONSIDERATION
The right to the deferred consideration constitutes the 鈥榥ew holding鈥� under TCGA92/S127 by virtue of TCGA92/S135(3) and section 138A.
C. COMPUTATION WHEN DEFERRED CONSIDERATION RECEIVED
When shares and QCBs are received in satisfaction of the right:
- the issue of shares is treated as a conversion of securities within TCGA92/S132 under subsection (3)(d) of section 138A
section 116(10) applies to the exchange of the remaining part of the right to deferred consideration for the QCBs. The held over gain on the QCB is calculated by reference to the market value of the right.
