The conditions for FA08/Sch07/para122(3) are satisfied:

  1. Chargeable gains accrued in 2007-08.
  2. Capital payments from 2005-06 and 2007-08 are used for the purposes of determining those gains. The capital payment received by A in 2005-06 affects the 2007-08 section 87 gain accruing to both A and B.
  3. The amount of the chargeable gains £13,000 is less than the total of the capital payments £34,000 used to determine the gain.

Paragraph 122(3) matches the 2007-08 gains first against the unmatched capital payments received in 2005-06. In 2005-06 A’s unmatched capital payments were £13,500. The 2007-08 gains of £13,000 are matched first against those payments reducing the unmatched capital payments to £500. A’s total unmatched capital payments in 2007-08 are allocated £13,302 from 2007-08 and £500 from 2005-06.
