TTM08200 - Chargeable gains: Time-apportionment
When an asset is disposed of, and that asset is (or has been) a tonnage tax asset, only the gain or loss referable to the time when it was not a tonnage tax asset is brought into account for tax purposes as a chargeable gain or allowable loss.
Computation of gain or loss
The gain or loss to be brought into account for tax purposes is calculated:
- by time apportioning the total gain or loss arising (calculated by reference to the normal CGT rules)
- by reference to the time that the asset was used outside tonnage tax
- as a proportion of the total time that the asset was owned by the company.
See TTM08210 for details of how the chargeable gain or allowable loss is to becalculated.
Intra-group transfers
Where the asset has been transferred around a group in such circumstances that each disposal fell to be dealt with under the no gain/no loss rules in TCGA92/S171(1) (see CG45300 onwards), the time apportionment is made by reference to the total time that the asset was owned by the group.
