This example illustrates the principle that capital payments are matched taking the latest year first.
Section 87 gains
The £60,000 section 2(2) amount in 2013-14 is matched first against A’s 2013-14 capital payment of £20,000, then against D’s 2012-13 capital payment of £30,000 and finally against £10,000 of E’s 2011-12 capital payment of £25,000 leaving E with unmatched capital payments of £15,000 in 2011-14.
The gains of £20,000, £30,000 and £10,000 all accrue in 2013-14. In practice it is unusual for capital payments to be made before the gains accrue to the trustees.
