Section 3B | Participators and their interests ^F1

(1)“Participator” has the meaning given by section 454 of CTA 2010.^F1

(2)Any reference to a person's interest as a participator in a company is to the interest in it represented by all the factors by reference to which the person is a participator.^F1

(3)Any reference to the extent of a person's interest as a participator in a company is to such proportion of the interests as participators of all of the company's participators as, on a just and reasonable basis, is represented by that interest.^F1

(4)If—^F1

(a)the interest of a person in a company is wholly or partly represented by an interest under a settlement (“the beneficial interest”), and^F1

(b)the beneficial interest is the factor (or one of them) by reference to which the person would, apart from this subsection, have an interest as a participator in the company,^F1

that interest as a participator is, so far as represented by the beneficial interest, to be treated instead as the interest of the trustees of the settlement.

(5)If—^F1

(a)exempt assets of a pension scheme are taken into account in ascertaining a person's interest as a participator in a company, and^F1

(b)if those assets were ignored, an amount in respect of a gain accruing to the company would not be apportioned to the person as a result of section 3,^F1

no amount in the respect of the gain is to be apportioned to the person as a result of that section.

(6)For this purpose—^F1

(a)“assets of a pension scheme” means assets held for the purposes of a fund or scheme to which section 271(1)(c) or (1A) applies, and^F1

(b)those assets are “exempt” if, at the time when the gain accrues, a disposal of those assets would be exempt from tax as a result of either of those provisions.^F1

(7)This section applies for the purposes of section 3.^F1
