Capital Allowances Act 1990 (repealed)

[F1 38H Transitional provisions. U.K.

(1) This Chapter does not apply—

(a) to any expenditure incurred before 26th November 1996; or

(b) to any expenditure incurred before 1st January 2001 in pursuance of a contract entered into before 26th November 1996.

(2) This Chapter does not apply to expenditure incurred by any person (“the purchaser”) on the acquisition of any long-life asset from another person (“the seller”) in a case where—

(a) the seller has made a Part II claim in respect of expenditure incurred on the provision of that asset (“the seller’s expenditure”),

(b) that claim is one which the seller was entitled to make,

(c) the seller’s expenditure was not expenditure falling for the purposes of that claim to be treated as expenditure to which this Chapter applies, and

(d) the seller’s expenditure would have fallen to be so treated if one or more of the assumptions specified in subsection (3) below were made.

(3) Those assumptions are—

(a) that expenditure falling within paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) above is not prevented by that paragraph from being expenditure to which this Chapter applies;

(b) that the seller’s expenditure was not prevented by subsection (2) above from being expenditure to which this Chapter applies; and

(c) that this Chapter or, as the case may require, provision corresponding to it applied for chargeable periods ending before 26th November 1996.

(4) The reference in subsection (1) above to expenditure incurred in pursuance of a contract entered into before 26th November 1996 does not, in the case of a contract varied at any time on or after that date, include a reference to so much of the expenditure incurred under that contract as exceeds the amount of the expenditure that would have been incurred if that contract had not been so varied.

(5) Subsections (4) and (5) of section 38F have effect for the purposes of this section as they have effect for the purposes of that section.]
