As a result of questioning the detained person, the reasonable grounds for suspicion necessary to detain that person may be confirmed or, because of a satisfactory explanation, be eliminated. However, reasonable grounds for suspicion cannot be founded retrospectively, the suspicion should exist prior to the questioning. A company can be a transferee in cases falling within categories 1 and 3. In certain cases where the company is controlled by non-residents, relief is not available at all. A refusal by a person to allow a search of a person, premises or a vehicle may, in some instances, constitute an offence (including but not limited to) wilful obstruction of an officer in the exercise of a power or execution of a duty. [footnote 10] This would be a criminal matter and is not an issue for, or subject to, this code. Officers should be aware of other legislation and codes applicable in these circumstances. Scope of the search powers The 10-yearly charge on the trustees of a relevant property trust is not taken into account because it’s not a disposal for CGT purposes.
a beneficiary with an interest in possession in the settled property immediately before the disposal The powers to search for cash are exercisable by an AFI in relation to premises, vehicles or (as the case may be) persons in England and Wales only, but not Scotland. The exercise of these powers by AFIs in Northern Ireland is guided by the code issued by DoJNI under section 293A. Reasonable grounds for suspicion a transfer from an 18 to 25 trust either to the relevant beneficiary before their 18th birthday or on their death before the age of 18 If the officer discovers relevant cash during a search they should give the person who has possession of it an opportunity to provide an explanation for its ownership, origins, purpose and destination. If, in a particular case, the questioning covers whether the person has committed an offence, it is likely to constitute questioning that requires a caution. Recording requirements – searches of a person If the base cost is a value, agreement of the value will be needed at both dates in these circumstances. The main conditions of SP8/92 are incorporated in the claim for hold-over forms.Where a single search is carried out by several officers, a single report to the “appointed person” would be appropriate. Such a situation may arise as the result of a decision by one officer that prior judicial approval is not practical, and other officers are asked to assist because of the size of the search. In such cases the officer who took the decision to proceed should make the report. It is less likely that several different officers working on an investigation will have come to separate independent decisions about carrying out a search, but if that were the case, then each officer should make their own report. If there were separate justifications, because of different strands of investigation carried out by different officers, then those justifications should be set out separately in the report or reports. Officers must be aware of their mandatory obligations under the legislation and act in accordance with those duties. This is an absolute requirement regardless of any interpretation of this code or any other document or guidance. Abbreviations used in this code If a written report is required, it should detail the information and circumstances which led the officer to believe that the search powers were exercisable and that it was not practical to obtain prior judicial approval, these factors could include: trading companies, where the company carries out trading activities and does not carry out (to a substantial extent) non-trading activities
If a person transfers an asset to another person for nothing, that’s a gift in the strict sense and is a disposal otherwise than by way of a bargain at arm’s length. If you receive something for transferring an asset but the consideration is less than its market value, this is also a disposal otherwise than by way of a bargain at arm’s length. the person should be informed that they can be required to permit a search under section 289 for the purposes of finding such cash and (where applicable) warned that failure to comply could amount to a criminal offence;Reasonable suspicion can never be supported on the basis of personal factors alone without reliable supporting intelligence or information or some specific behaviour. For example, a person’s race, religion or age, could not be used alone or in combination with other personal factors as the reason for searching that person. Reasonable suspicion could not be based on generalisations or stereotypical images of certain groups or categories of people being more likely to be involved in criminal activity.
the name of the officer who carried out the search (subject to the provisions in POCA relating to pseudonyms of officers of the NCA and members of staff of a relevant Director); [footnote 31] and An officer cannot enter and search premises or continue to search premises if they entered with consent (and not under any other power), and that consent was given under duress or misrepresentation, is withdrawn, or it becomes known that the person who gave consent was not actually in a position to do so. If the search ends because of those reasons, the officer should record this in writing. Steps prior to search of premises Where the asset is an interest in UK land, an election can be made for the charge to accrue instead when the property is eventually disposed of. A trading group is a group of which one or more of the members are carrying on trading activities and the activities of the members, when taken together, do not include, to a substantial extent, non-trading activities.
This relief covers works of art, historic houses and other property of sufficient standard to be regarded as part of the national heritage. There are reliefs for both CGT and Inheritance Tax. Exemption from CGT may be available for certain transactions for designated property. The Inheritance Tax Manual has more details. Where there’s liability on a gift tax can be paid by instalments You need to enter estimated values in the tax return and the claim form. These should be your considered estimates but need not be formal valuations by an expert. They’re not considered binding. However, in the case of a transfer to a settlement, the claim to hold-over the gain is made by the transferor only and the trustees must be a party to a claim to defer the agreement of values. How to get relief for gifts Where SP8/92 applies, the claim is admitted on the condition that the provisional values submitted with the claim are left to be agreed. They should be agreed at a later date between the claimants and HMRC, when and if it becomes relevant to the calculation as a result of further disposal by either claimant. If the person to be searched does not appear to understand what is being said or the officer has doubts as to the person’s ability to speak and/or understand English, [footnote 26] or that the person is deaf or has difficulty with hearing or speaking, the officer should take reasonable steps to ensure that the person understands. Where desirable and practical someone who can act as an interpreter should be identified, but if no such person can be identified, the search may not proceed if the officer cannot determine whether the person understands. In all cases, the officer should record any difficulties encountered and the reasons for proceeding with any search or for abandoning one. Conduct of searches – persons A person may be searched only to the extent necessary to achieve the object of the search. A search may not continue once the relevant cash has been found and no search may continue once the officer is satisfied that the relevant cash is not on the person. This does not prevent a further search with prior approval if practical if new information comes to light justifying such a search.
