FA08/Sch07/para124

Year - Amount
2005-06 Capital payments received Nil
- Section 2(2) amount 拢7,000
2006-07 Capital payments received Nil
- Section 2(2) amount 拢5,000
2008-09 Capital payment received 拢30,000
- Section 2(2) amount 拢16,000

Section 87 gains

The ordinary LIFO rules apply to match the 拢30,000 capital payment received in 2008-09 against the section 2(2) amounts as follows.

Year Amount
2008-09 拢16,000
2006-07 拢5,000
2005-06 拢7,000
2008-09 section 87 gain 拢28,000

If the beneficiary was non-domiciled in 2008-09 they are charged to Capital Gains Tax only on the 拢16,000 2008-09 section 2(2) amount. The fact that no tax is charged does not stop the 2008-09 capital payment being matched against the section 2(2) amounts for the earlier years and those amounts being reduced to nil. The section 2(2) amount for 2008-09 is reduced to 拢2,000.
