Section 514 Chargeable events where transaction-related calculations show gains

If the calculation in section 511 shows that a relevant transaction resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, the relevant transaction is treated as a chargeable event.

Subsection (1) is subject to section 485(5) (which restricts the circumstances in which such events occur in relation to qualifying policies).

Subsection (4) applies if—

The gain is charged to tax under this Chapter for the tax year in which the insurance year ends instead.

Subsection (3)(b) includes a case where a person would be liable to tax on the gain under section 465B for the tax year in which the transaction occurs (because the transaction occurs in the year of return, as defined in that section).

If the relevant transaction occurs in the final insurance year, the chargeable event within subsection (1) is treated as occurring before the chargeable event that ends that year.
