BLM80335 - Sale of lessor companies and similar arrangements: establishing change of ownership: consortia: 90% subsidiaries of companies owned by a consortium
CTA2010/S397/S398This guidance applies to transactions where the relevant day falls before 9 December 2009.
Where the lessor company is a 90% subsidiary of a holding company owned by a consortium the ownership proportion is determined by reference to ownership of the holding company.
In this example A Ltd is the lessor company. It is a 90% subsidiary of D Ltd. D Ltd is a holding company owned by a consortium. The relevant fraction is determined by reference to the relationship between the holding company, D Ltd, and the member of the consortium, E Ltd or F Ltd. The ownership proportion is therefore 50% in the case of both E Ltd and F Ltd.
