a loan on revenue account is transferred by an insurer (called in this subsection the transferor) to another person (called in this subsection the transferee);
the transfer is not pursuant to a transfer of businesses by the transferor to the transferee in relation to which section 34CA applies;
a provision for an impairment loss arising from that loan, being a loss that is recognised and valued in accordance with the Insurance Act regulations in determining the profit or loss of such loan and reflected in the transferor’s statement of profit and loss that is part of an MAS return, is also transferred by the transferor to the transferee; and (d)a deduction of an amount in respect of the provision mentioned in paragraph (c) was previously allowed under section 14 (read with this section) to the transferor,then, despite any provision of this Act —
in a case where both the transferor and transferee are on the date of the transfer in the business of lending money, the deduction previously allowed to the transferor is treated, for the purposes of section 14, as having been allowed to the transferee under that section; and
in any other case, the provision for the impairment loss mentioned in paragraph (c) that is transferred by the transferor and allowed a deduction under paragraph (d) is treated as a trading receipt of the transferor for the basis period in which the date of transfer falls.”.
