Additional amount treated as income under section 34AA(7) of Act or allowable as deduction under section 34AA(10) of Act due to capital loss or gain, where financial instrument had been disposed of
8.—(1)  The purpose of this regulation is to determine the additional amount of any other gain, loss or expense in respect of a financial instrument that is treated as income under section 34AA(7) of the Act or allowable as a deduction under section 34AA(10) of the Act (as the case may be), where the financial instrument —
(a)had been disposed of by the qualifying person; or
(b)being a debt instrument, had been disposed of by the qualifying person, had matured or had been redeemed,
on or before the last day of the basis period for the year of assessment immediately before the year of assessment in which the Comptroller makes the discovery —
(c)under section 34AA(7) of the Act, that a deduction ought not to have been allowed for a loss or expense in respect of the financial instrument as it is capital in nature; or
(d)under section 34AA(10) of the Act, that a gain in respect of the financial instrument ought not to have been charged with tax as it is capital in nature.
(2)  Where the financial instrument (including a debt instrument) had been disposed of by the qualifying person, the additional amount is computed using the formula B – A, where —
(a)A is the consideration received or receivable by the qualifying person from the disposal of the financial instrument; and
(b)B is the cost incurred by the qualifying person in acquiring the financial instrument.
(3)  Where the financial instrument is a debt instrument that had matured or had been redeemed, the additional amount is —
(a)if the amount received or receivable by the qualifying person on the maturity or redemption of the debt instrument is equal to or greater than the amount for which the debt instrument was first issued — zero; or
(b)if the amount received or receivable by the qualifying person on the maturity or redemption of the debt instrument is less than the amount for which the debt instrument was first issued — computed using the formula C – D, where —
(i)C is the amount for which the debt instrument was first issued; and
(ii)D is the amount received or receivable by the qualifying person on the maturity or redemption of the debt instrument.
