(2)Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where sub-paragraph (1) above applies, or but for subsection (2) of section 179 of the M3Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 would apply, as respects any acquisition of any asset and the company that acquired the asset ceases to be a member of the same group of companies as the new principal, that section shall have effect as if—

(b)both of those companies cease at the same time to be members of the same group of companies as the new principal, and

(3)Where this paragraph applies in relation to a qualifying transfer of relevant assets—

(a)there shall be made to or on the successor in accordance with the [F1the Capital Allowances Act 2001] all such allowances and charges as would, if the transferor had continued to carry on its trade or other activities, have fallen to be made to or on the transferor in respect of those assets; and

(b)the amount of any such allowance or charge shall be computed on a just basis as if—

(i)the acquisition of those assets by the transferor had been their acquisition by the successor for the purposes of the trade (if any) to be carried on by the successor on and after the transfer date;

(ii)the successor had been carrying on its trade (if any) at the time of that acquisition; and

(iii)everything done by or to the transferor in respect of those assets had been done by or to the successor (but so that the qualifying transfer itself, so far as it relates to any assets in use for the purpose of the trade, shall not be treated as giving rise to any such allowance or charge).

(4)The amounts falling to be taken into account in relation to the transferor as expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made shall be reduced, in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after the transfer date, by such amount as is just, taking into account the successor’s entitlement to capital allowances under sub-paragraph (3) above.

(6)In the case of a qualifying transfer of relevant assets to Transport for London—

(a)in consequence of subsection (1) of section 419 of this Act, no allowances or charges are to be made to or on Transport for London by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) above; but

(b)[F2section 266 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (election where predecessor and successor are connected persons)],

shall have effect by virtue of a qualifying transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies.

[F3(9)Except as provided by this paragraph, a qualifying transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies shall be taken for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 not to give rise to—

(a)any writing-down allowances, balancing allowances or balancing charges under Chapter 5 of Part 2 of that Act (plant and machinery allowances and charges),

(b)any disposal value being treated as received for the purposes of that Chapter,

(c)any qualifying expenditure being treated as incurred for the purposes of that Chapter, or
