“SCHEDULE 4AARe-basing for non-residents in respect of UK land etc held on 5 April 2019
1(1)Part 2, 3 or 4 of this Schedule applies on the first occasion on which a person disposes of an asset that the person held on 5 April 2019 where—
(a)the disposal is either a direct or indirect disposal of UK land, and
(b)the disposal is made by a non-resident or a UK resident in the overseas part of a tax year.
(2)See also paragraph 16 (non-UK resident company holding UK land becoming resident in UK after 5 April 2019).
(a)a disposal is a “direct disposal of UK land” if it is a disposal of an interest in UK land, and
(b)a disposal by a person is an “indirect disposal of UK land” if it is a disposal of an asset (other than an interest in UK land) deriving at least 75% of its value from UK land where the person has a substantial indirect interest in that land.
(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, the disposal is made by a non-resident or a UK resident in the overseas part of a tax year if it is—
(a)a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 1A(3) because the asset disposed of is within paragraph (b) or (c) of that subsection,
(b)a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 1A(1) in accordance with section 1G(2) because the asset disposed of is within section 1A(3)(b) or (c),
(c)a disposal on which a gain accrues that falls to be dealt with by section 2B(4), or
(d)a disposal of an asset on which a gain does not accrue but which, had a gain accrued, would fall to be dealt with as mentioned in any of the preceding paragraphs of this sub-paragraph.
PART 2Indirect disposals and direct disposals not chargeable before 6 April 2019
2(1)This Part of this Schedule applies to—
(a)all indirect disposals of UK land,
(b)direct disposals of UK land that were not fully residential before 6 April 2019, and
(c)direct disposals of UK land by persons who were not chargeable before 6 April 2019.
(2)For the purposes of this paragraph a direct disposal of UK land made by a person was “not fully residential before 6 April 2019” if in the period—
(a)beginning with the day on which the person acquired the interest in land being disposed of or, if later, 6 April 2015, and
(b)ending with 5 April 2019,
there was no day on which the land to which the disposal relates consisted of or included a dwelling.
(3)If the disposal is of an interest in land subsisting under a contract for the acquisition of land that, at any time before 6 April 2019, consisted of or included a building to be constructed or adapted for use as a dwelling, the disposal is taken to be fully residential before that date.
(4)For the purposes of this paragraph, a disposal is made by a person who was not chargeable before 6 April 2019 if, immediately before that date, the person was—
(a)a company which was not a closely-held company (see sub-paragraph (5)),
(b)a widely-marketed scheme (see sub-paragraph (6)), or
(c)a company carrying on life assurance business (as defined in section 56 of the Finance Act 2012) where the interest in UK land was, immediately before that date, held for the purpose of providing benefits to policyholders in the course of that business.
(5)The question as to whether a company is “a closely-held company” is determined in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule C1; but if—
(a)the company is a divided company within the meaning of section 14G, and
(b)the company would not otherwise be regarded as a closely-held company,
the company is to be so regarded if the conditions in subsection (3) of that section are met.
(6)A person is a “widely-marketed scheme” if—
(a)the person is a scheme within the meaning of section 14F, and
(b)condition A or B in that section is met,
reading the reference in subsection (8)(a) of that section to the non-resident CGT disposal as a reference to the disposal mentioned in paragraph 1(1).
(7)In determining for the purposes of this paragraph whether or not—
(a)a person is a closely-held company, or
(b)a person is a widely-marketed scheme,
arrangements are to be ignored if the main purpose of, or one of the main purposes of, them is to secure a tax advantage as a result of the person not being a closely-held company or the person being a widely-marketed scheme.
(a)“arrangements” and “tax advantage” have the same meaning as in section 16A, and
(b)any reference to section 14F, 14G or Schedule C1 are to those provisions as they had effect on 5 April 2019 (before their repeal by Schedule 1 to the Finance Act 2019).

(2)This paragraph has effect subject to any election made by the person under paragraph 4 (retrospective basis of calculation).
Election for retrospective basis of calculation

(b)a loss accrues on the disposal,
the loss is not an allowable loss.
Calculation of residential property gain if election made under paragraph 4
(a)a person makes an election under paragraph 4 in respect of a disposal on which a gain accrues, and

(a)sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) of that paragraph were omitted, and
(b)in that paragraph, “the applicable period” had the definition given by the next sub-paragraph.

(a)the person held the interest in UK land being disposed of throughout the period beginning with 6 April 2015 and ending with the disposal, and

(3)If the disposal is of an interest in land subsisting under a contract for the acquisition of land that, at any time in that period, did not consist of a building to be constructed or adapted for use as a dwelling, the disposal is taken to be not fully residential before 6 April 2019.
(4)This Part of this Schedule does not apply to a direct disposal of UK land made by a person who was not chargeable before 6 April 2019, as determined for the purposes of paragraph 2.

9(1)The person may make an election under this paragraph—
(a)for the assumption that the asset is sold and reacquired as mentioned in paragraph 7 not to apply, and

“the post-5 April 2015 period” means the day beginning with 6 April 2015 and ending with the day on which the disposal is made, and
“the ownership period” means the period beginning with the day on which the person acquired the interest disposed of or, if later, 31 March 1982 and ending with the day on which the disposal is made.

(b)in addition, the asset was on 5 April 2019 sold by the person, and immediately reacquired by the person, at its market value on that date.
(2)In the case of the assumed sale on 5 April 2019, the gain or loss accruing on that sale is treated as accruing on the actual disposal (in addition to the gain or loss that actually accrues on the actual disposal).
(3)If the asset was acquired by the person after 5 April 2015, the assumption that it is sold, and immediately reacquired, on 5 April 2015 is not to apply.
