62 Where—

(a) in consequence of the amendments made by paragraph 33 above, the condition in sub-paragraph (1)(c) of paragraph 17 of Schedule 9 to the Finance Act 1996 (connection between issuing company and other company) is satisfied as respects a new accounting period of the issuing company, but

(b) the relevant discounted security concerned has not been redeemed before the beginning of the company’s first new accounting period.

(2) As regards any new accounting period, paragraph 18(2) of that Schedule shall be taken to have had effect in relation to the old accounting period as if, instead of preventing the bringing of amounts into account for any accounting period before that in which the security is redeemed, it had provided for the deferred amount to be brought into account for the accounting period in which the security is redeemed instead of for the old accounting period.

(2) Where, apart from Chapter 2 of Part 4 of the Finance Act 1996, any authorised unit trust or open-ended investment company would be treated under subsection (2) or (4) of section 714 of the Taxes Act 1988 (treatment of deemed sums and reliefs under accrued income scheme)—
