Section 87 gains

The capital payments received in 2014-15 are matched first against the section 2(2) amount for that year. Chargeable gains of £26,000 accrue to C in 2014-15 leaving an unmatched section 2(2) amount of £4,000.

The balance of the capital payment £5000 received in 2013-14 is matched against this gain. A gain of £4000 is treated as accruing to A in 2014-15. A’s unmatched capital payments received in 2013-14 are reduced to £1,000.
