From legislation.gov.uk

(1)For the purposes of section 416, “the capital (disposals) adjustment” is—

Formula

A - B + C

where—

A is the sum of the amounts (if any) that are brought into account in determining the group's profit before tax and that represent losses on disposals of relevant assets;

B is the sum of the amounts (if any) that are brought into account in determining the group's profit before tax and that represent profits on disposals of relevant assets;

C is the sum of any recalculated profit amounts (see subsections (2) to (8)).

(2)For the purposes of the definition of C in subsection (1) there is a “recalculated profit amount” where the following two conditions are met.

(3)The first condition is that an amount is brought into account in determining the group's profit before tax in respect of a profit or loss on the disposal of a relevant asset.

(4)The second condition is that—

(a)the relevant proceeds, exceeds

(b)the relevant cost.

(5)The amount of the recalculated profit amount is the amount of the excess mentioned in subsection (4).

(6)In this section “the relevant proceeds” means the amount of income of a capital nature that is brought into account in determining the profit or loss mentioned in subsection (3).

(7)In this section “the relevant cost” means (subject to subsection (8)) the amount of expenditure of a capital nature that is brought into account in determining the profit or loss mentioned in subsection (3).

(8)For the purposes of subsection (7), any adjustment made to the amount brought into account as mentioned in that subsection is to be disregarded where the adjustment is in respect of amounts that—

(a)are otherwise recognised, in the financial statements of the group for the relevant period of account, as items of profit or loss, or

(b)were so recognised in the financial statements of the group for an earlier period.

(9)References in this section to a relevant asset include part of a relevant asset.

(10)References in this section to the disposal of a relevant asset do not include a disposal where the profit or loss (if any) on the disposal is of a revenue nature.

(11)The condition in subsection (3) is met even if no amount is brought into account as mentioned in that subsection if that is because no gain or loss accrued on the disposal; and subsections (6) to (8) apply accordingly.
