Quantitative restrictions: change of circumstances taking case out of restrictions
99(1)The provisions of this paragraph apply where—
(a)the lessor under a finance lease has been entitled to capital allowances in circumstances in which paragraph 94 (quantitative restrictions on allowances) applied, and
(b)a change of circumstances takes the case out of paragraph 89(1) so that the restrictions in paragraph 94 no longer apply.
(2)When the change of circumstances occurs a disposal value shall be brought into account by the lessor equal to the tax written down value of the ship as at that time.
The provisions of paragraph 97 (treatment of disposal proceeds) apply as regards the allocation of that amount to the lessor’s 25% and 10% pools.
(3)The lessor shall be treated as if he had incurred qualifying expenditure on the provision of the ship for the purposes of the lessee’s non-tonnage tax trade immediately after the change of circumstances occurs.
(4)The amount of that expenditure shall be taken to be the whole of the expenditure on the ship that would have qualified for capital allowances if paragraph 94 had never applied, written down at 25% per annum on the reducing balance for the period beginning with the time when it was actually incurred and ending when the change of circumstances occurs.
