Base Cost Apportionment
Question:
What proportion of the cost of the 0.2 pence Ordinary Shares purchased before 6.00 p.m. on 8th August 2011 (“Ordinary Share Record Date”) will be apportioned to the New Ordinary Shares of 14/55 pence and the C Shares respectively?
Answer:
Shareholders who held Existing Ordinary Shares at the time of the return of capital will need to apportion the base cost of their Existing Ordinary Shares between their New Ordinary Shares and C Shares for capital gains purposes. The cost base will be apportioned on the basis of the market value of the New Ordinary Shares and C Shares received. The New Ordinary Shares are listed and therefore the market value is the price on the first day of trading which was 293.30p. The C Shares will not be listed and therefore there is no equivalent market price. The value of the C Shares has therefore been estimated at 75p but this figure has not been agreed with HM Revenue and Customs. Based on the New Ordinary Share price of 293.30p and the estimated C Share market value of 75p, 75.45% of the base cost of the Existing Ordinary Shares will be apportioned to the New Ordinary Shares and 24.55% to the C Shares.
The above is only a basic guide. A general guide to United Kingdom taxation is set out in Part VII of the Circular that was sent to shareholders on 22 July (a copy of which is also available on this website) and you should read it carefully. If you have a complicated tax position, or are otherwise in any doubt about your tax circumstances, or if you are subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom you should consult your professional adviser.
