Section 622 | Contracts ceasing to be derivative contracts

(1)This section applies if a company is a party to a relevant contract which ceases to be a derivative contract.

(2)The company is treated for the purposes of this Part as if it had disposed of the contract in a related transaction at the relevant time for consideration of an amount equal to the notional carrying value of the contract at that time.

(3)In this section “the relevant time” means the time when the contract ceases to be a derivative contract.

(4)For the purposes of this section, the “notional carrying value” of the contract at the relevant time is the amount which would have been the tax-adjusted carrying value of the contract based on the accounts of the company if a period of account had ended immediately before that time.^F1
