CG54506 - Securities: Accrued Income Scheme: transfer without accrued interest

If the securities are transferred without accrued interest or `ex divâ€� the transferor will retain the right to receive the next interest payment. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp transferor will have to compensate the transferee for the interest which arises after the date of sale. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp Accrued Income Scheme calls this the rebate amount. ITA07/S633 gives the transferor relief for the rebate amount, see SAIM4150+. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp transferee is treated as though they received a sum equal to the rebate amount.

For Capital Gains Tax purposes the following adjustments are required.

· Transferor - the disposal proceeds are increased by the value of the rebate amount

· Transferee - the acquisition cost is increased by the value of the rebate amount.

· 1 January 2017 Mr Bates buys £100,000 UK Computer PLC 10 per cent convertible loan stock for £108,000. Interest is payable on 1 January and 1 July.
