This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

20 (1)This paragraph applies to—S

(a)a lease for a fixed term and thereafter until terminated, or

(b)a lease for a fixed term that may continue beyond the fixed term by operation of law.

(2)For the purposes of this Act (except section 30 (notifiable transactions)), a lease to which this paragraph applies is treated—

(a)in the first instance as if it were a lease for the original fixed term and no longer,

(b)if the lease continues after the end of that term, as if it were a lease for a fixed term of 1 year longer than the original fixed term,

(c)if the lease continues after the end of the term resulting from the application of paragraph (b), as if it were a lease for a fixed term 2 years longer than the original fixed term,

and so on.

(3)In a case where no land transaction return or any other return has been made in relation to the transaction, where the effect of sub-paragraph (2) in relation to the continuation of the lease for a period (or further period) of 1 year after the end of a fixed term is that the transaction becomes notifiable—

(a)the buyer must make a return in respect of that transaction before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day after the end of that 1 year period,

(b)the return must include an assessment of the tax that, on the basis of the information contained in the return, is chargeable in respect of the transaction, and

(c)the tax so chargeable is to be calculated by reference to the tax rates and tax bands in force at the effective date of the transaction.

(4)Sub-paragraph (3) is subject to paragraph 21.

(5)For the purposes of section 30 (notifiable transactions), a lease to which this paragraph applies is a lease for its original fixed term.

(6)Where—

(a)a lease would be treated as continuing for a period (or further period) of 1 year under sub-paragraph (2), but

(b)(ignoring that sub-paragraph) the lease actually terminates at a time during that period,

the lease is to be treated as continuing under sub-paragraph (2) only until that time; and the references in sub-paragraph (3) to that 1 year period are accordingly to be read as references to so much of that year as ends with that time.
