Section 509 Chargeable events in certain cases where periodic calculations show gains

(1)

If the calculation in section 507 shows that a gain has arisen as at the end of the insurance year, the gain is treated as arising on the occurrence of a chargeable event at the end of that year, unless condition A, B or C is met.

(2)

Subsection (1) is subject to section 485(3) (which restricts the circumstances in which such events occur in relation to qualifying policies).

(3)

Condition A is that during the insurance year there has been an assignment for money or money's worth of part of or a share in the rights conferred by the policy or contract.

(4)

Condition B is that during the insurance year there has been both—

(a)

a surrender of part of or a share in the rights conferred by the policy or contract, and

(b)

a later assignment, otherwise than for money or money's worth, of the whole or part of or a share in the rights conferred by the policy or contract.

(5)

Condition C is that the insurance year is the final insurance year.

(6)

See section 510 (transaction-related calculations in certain part surrender and assignment cases) if one or both of conditions A and B are met.
