CIRD20440 - Reinvestment relief: groups of companies: expenditure on shares of company which becomes group member: examples
CTA09/PART8/S778
The examples below illustrate the interaction of:
- the rule that the deemed expenditure on the acquisition of new assets is the lesser of the cost of the shares and the tax written down value of the ‘underlying� assets (see CIRD20430),
- the general computational rules for reinvestment relief in CIRD20200 onwards.

Notes
- Tax value of underlying assets less than original cost of old asset - see CIRD20220.
- Tax value of underlying assets and cost of shares exceed realisation proceeds; all profit over original cost rolled over - see CIRD20210.
- Tax value of underlying assets less than realisation proceeds of old asset; not all proceeds reinvested; profit to be rolled over restricted to the excess of that tax value over the cost of the old asset - see CIRD20220.
- Cost of shares less than realisation proceeds and tax value of underlying assets (which exceeds the proceeds); relief restricted as if the cost of the shares is equal to the tax value of the underlying assets - see CIRD20430.
- As (d) but tax value of underlying assets does not exceed the realisation proceeds; relief again restricted as if the cost of shares is the tax value of the underlying assets - see CIRD20430.
