Commentary on Sections General Part 2: Other enactments Paragraph 210
3633.This paragraph amends section 120 of TCGA 1992 which treats certain amounts chargeable to income tax in relation to shares as additional consideration for the acquisition of those shares under section 38 of TCGA 1992. The amendments mainly reflect the new language and update references.
3634.Sub-paragraph (2) expands and rearranges section 120(1) to clarify how it operates and brings in material from FA 1988 so that the second paragraph of section 120(1) can be omitted. The words after the semi-colon in the first paragraph of section 120(1) are thought to be there in order that the relief given by the opening words of section 120(1) works in cases within section 83(1) of FA 1988 (where the shares are acquired by a person connected with the employee). This is made clear in the rewritten provision. The view is taken that no modification of the relief is required in cases to which section 83(2) of FA 1988 applies. See Note 72 in Annex 2.
3635.Sub-paragraph (7) provides for the omission of section 120(6) of TCGA 1992. That provision effectively duplicated section 185(7) of ICTA. It also set out the transitional provisions. The effect of both subsections together with the transitionals now appears in new Schedule 7D to TCGA 1992.
