CG13290 | Value shifting: TCGA92 S30: groups of companies

Disposals before 14 March 1989

Before 14 March 1989 the value shifting rules did not apply to the disposal by one company of shares in another company where the reduction in value resulted from

• the payment of a dividend at a time when both companies were members of the same group

• the disposal of an asset by the second company at no gain/no loss under ICTA88/S273 (1) (now TCGA92/S171 (1)) at a time when both companies were members of the same group.

These exclusions were in CGTA79/S26 (7) before amendment by Finance Act 1989.
