Schedule 2: Transitionals and savings etc. Part 5: Savings and investment income: general Paragraph 84: Exclusion of deeply discounted securities from section 711 to 718 of ICTA (accrued income profits)
3566.Section 710(3) of ICTA lists securities which are excluded from the accrued income scheme in Chapter 2 of Part 17 of ICTA. Section 710(3)(f) of ICTA (securities which are relevant discounted securities within Schedule 13 to FA 1996) has been consequentially amended by Schedule 1 to this Act to refer to deeply discounted securities within Chapter 8 of Part 4 of this Act.
3567.Before FA 2003, paragraph 11 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 was the only exclusion of relevant discounted securities from the accrued interest scheme. As part of the provisions for removing loss relief on relevant discounted securities, paragraph 5(2)(c) of Schedule 39 to FA 2003 repealed paragraph 11 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 and added relevant discounted securities to the list of securities outside the accrued income scheme in section 710(3)(f) of ICTA.
3568.But paragraph 6(1)(b) of Schedule 39 to FA 2003 repeals paragraph 11 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 only in relation to a loss on a relevant discounted security on or after 26 March 2003 and applies section 710(3)(f) of ICTA only in relation to losses on or after that date.
3569.Moreover paragraph 6(2)(b) of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 provides a saving for changes introduced by paragraphs 5(2) and (4) of that Schedule if the security is quoted on a recognised stock exchange and has been held continuously since before 27 March 2003. In those circumstances paragraph 7 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 continues to apply.
3570.The complex position that emerges is:
	section 710(3)(f) of ICTA applies only where losses arise unless the loss arises on a quoted security held since before 27 March 2003; and
	paragraph 11 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 continues to apply for all gains but also for losses arising on a quoted security held since before 27 March 2003.
3571.It serves no purpose to have one provision applying to gains and another to losses and the repeal of paragraph 11 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 and insertion of section 710(3)(f) of ICTA suggest that this was not the intention.
3572.This paragraph therefore applies section 710(3)(f) of ICTA for all disposals after 6 April 2005.
