Section 893 | Assets whose value derives from pre-FA 2002 assets

(1)This section applies if—

(a)during the period beginning with 1 April 2002 and ending with 30 June 2020 a company (“the acquiring company”) acquires an intangible fixed asset (“the acquired asset”) from a person (“the transferor”),

(b)the acquired asset is created on or after 1 April 2002,

(c)at the time of the acquisition the transferor and the acquiring company are related parties,

(d)the value of the acquired asset derives in whole or in part from any other asset (“the other asset”), and

(e)the other asset meets the preserved status conditions (see section 894).

(2)In the hands of the acquiring company the acquired asset is treated for the purposes of this Part as a pre-FA 2002 asset so far as its value derives from the other asset.

(3)If only part of the value of the acquired asset derives from the other asset—

(a)this Part applies as if there were a separate asset representing the part of the value that does not so derive, and

(b)the alternative enactments apply as if there were a separate asset representing the part of the value that does so derive.

(4)In subsection (3) “the alternative enactments” means the enactments that apply where this Part does not apply.

(5)For the purposes of this section the cases in which the value of an asset may be derived from any other asset include any case where—

(a)assets have been merged or divided,

(b)assets have changed their nature, or

(c)rights or interests in or over assets have been created or extinguished.

(6)Section 894 supplements this section.
