Section 463C | Restricted relief qualifying policies: personal representatives and trustees with deceased settlors

(1)This section applies for the purpose of determining if personal representatives are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as provided for by section 466.

(2)This section also applies for the purpose of determining if trustees are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as provided for by section 467 where—

(a)condition B in that section is met, and

(b)the person who created the trusts has died.

(3)In relation to an event occurring on or after 6 April 2013, section 485 (disregard of certain events in relation to qualifying policies) does not apply in relation to a policy if the policy is a restricted relief qualifying policy (see paragraph A2 of Schedule 15 to ICTA).

(4)If any personal representatives or trustees are liable for tax charged under this Chapter as a result of subsection (3), section 463A(3) is to apply in the case of the personal representatives or the trustees—

(a)as if the reference to the individual were to the personal representatives or to the trustees, and

(b)as if the restricted relief qualifying policy were policy X.

(5)For this purpose—

(a)in section 463B(12)(a) the reference to the individual is to be read as a reference to the deceased, and

(b)a policy—

(i)which would otherwise have ceased to be “related” to policy X for the purposes of section 463B on the deceased's death, but

(ii)which continues to run after the deceased's death,

is to be treated as “related” to policy X after the deceased's death.

(6)A policy which is a new policy (as defined in paragraph 17 of Schedule 15 to ICTA) in relation to a policy treated as “related” to policy X under subsection (5)(b) or this subsection is also to be treated as “related” to policy X if, apart from the deceased's death, it would meet the requirements of section 463B(12)(a) and (b) on its issue.

(7)A policy treated as “related” to policy X under subsection (5)(b) or (6) ceases to be so treated if, apart from the deceased's death, it would cease to meet the requirements of section 463B(12)(a) and (b).

(8)If section 528A also applies in the case of the personal representatives or the trustees in relation to the gain, section 463A(3) is to be applied to the gain before section 528A and, accordingly, the reduction to be made under section 528A is to be determined by reference to the gain as reduced by section 463A(3).
