(b) a break clause contained in the original lease is “relevant” if the right to terminate the lease that it confers is capable of being exercised in such a way that the term of the original lease is 10 years or less.

(3) For the purposes of section 105A—

(a) the term of the original lease, and

(b) the net amount payable by P in relation to the lease by way of lease premium,

are to be determined on the assumption that any relevant break clause is exercised in such a way that the term of the lease is as short as possible.

(4) If a relevant break clause is not in fact exercised in such a way that the term of the original lease is as short as possible, the parties to the lease are treated for the purposes of section 105A as if they were parties to another lease (a “notional lease”) the term of which—

(a) begins immediately after the time at which the term of the original lease would have ended, if that break clause had been so exercised, and

(b) ends at the time mentioned in subsection (5).

(5) The term of a notional lease ends—

(a) at the time the term of the original lease would end, on the assumption that any relevant break clause that is exercisable only after the beginning of the term of the notional lease is exercised in such a way that the term of the original lease is as short as possible, or

(b) if earlier, the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the term of the original lease.

(6) For the purposes of section 105A the net amount payable by P in relation to a notional lease by way of lease premium is, in the case of a notional lease the term of which ends under paragraph (a) of subsection (5)—

(a) the net amount that would be payable by P in relation to the original lease by way of lease premium on the assumption mentioned in that paragraph, less

(b) any part of that amount that has already been attributed to a period in respect of a lease premium under section 105(4B)(b).

(7) For the purposes of section 105A the net amount payable by P in relation to a notional lease by way of lease premium is, in the case of a notional lease the term of which ends under paragraph (b) of subsection (5), the relevant proportion of—

(a) the net amount that would be payable by P in relation to the original lease by way of lease premium, on the assumption that no break clause is exercised, less

(b) any part of that amount that has already been attributed to a period in respect of a lease premium under section 105(4B)(b).

(8) In subsection (7) “the relevant proportion” means—

where—

D is the term of the notional lease (in days), and

E is the sum of—

• (a) the term of the notional lease (in days), and

• (b) the number of days by which the term of the original lease would exceed 10 years, on the assumption that no break clause is exercised.”

(4) The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to—

(a) any lease entered into on or after 22 April 2009, and

(b) subject to subsection (5), any lease entered into before that date the term of which is extended on or after that date.

(5) In relation to a lease of the kind mentioned in subsection (4)(b) the amendments made by this section have effect—

(a) as if the additional term of the lease created by the extension were the whole of the term of the lease, and

(b) ignoring any lease premium payable in respect of the unextended term of the lease.

(6) In this section “lease premium” has the same meaning as in sections 105A and 105B of ITEPA 2003.
