Subject to Rules 1 and 2, liabilities are regarded as matched with assets on a disposal of which no chargeable gain would be treated as accruing by virtue of Part 1 of Schedule 7AC to the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992(1) if the disposal were made on a date falling more than twelve months after the date of the acquisition of the asset.
(2) If—
(a)part only of a liability falling within the third condition in regulation 3, or
