Commentary on Sections Glossary Structure of Part 2 Section 197: Disposal values in avoidance cases
703.This section is based on section 59A(1) to (3) of CAA 1990. It substitutes a “notional written-down value” for the disposal value in avoidance cases.
704.Subsection (1)(d) refers to a taxpayer obtaining a “tax advantage”. This term is defined in section 577(4).
705.The paragraph also refers to a disposal event which “is part of, or occurs as a result of” a scheme or arrangement. Section 59A(1)(c) of CAA 1990 uses the words “is comprised in, or occurs in pursuance of”. The wording in this Act is simpler than that in CAA 1990 without changing its meaning.
706.Subsection (3) uses a formula to define the “notional written-down value” in line with the similar provisions elsewhere in this Act. See Note 24 in Annex 2.
