This paragraph applies in the case of a transfer of a chargeable interest to a partnership falling within paragraph 10(1)(a), (b) or (c) of Schedule 15 to FA 2003 where the effective date of the transaction is before the day on which this Act is passed.

The purchaser in relation to the transaction may at any time before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with that day amend the land transaction return in respect of that transaction so as to make an election under paragraph 12A of Schedule 15 to FA 2003 (inserted by this Schedule).

An election made in reliance on sub-paragraph (2) has effect as if it had been made on the date on which the land transaction return was made, even though paragraph 12A of Schedule 15 to FA 2003 was not in force at that time.

Where an election is made in reliance on sub-paragraph (2), the power under paragraph 12A(5)(b) of Schedule 15 to FA 2003 to amend a land transaction return in respect of an affected transaction to take account of that election may be exercised at any time before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.
