(c)does not apply in the case of the relevant lessee (see sub-paragraph (7)) to any lease in relation to which condition E is met.

(2)But sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in relation to a lease in the case of a lessor (and accordingly Chapter 2 of Part 9 applies) if an election under regulations made under paragraph 16 of Schedule 8 to FA 2006 (election for lease to be treated as long funding lease for tax purposes)—

(a)is in force in the case of the lease, and

(b)has effect in the case of the lessor.

(b)there is a transfer of plant or machinery,

(c)immediately before the transfer the old lessor is within the charge to tax,

(d)the transfer is in such circumstances that, if the amendments of CAA 2001 made by Schedule 8 to FA 2006 did apply to the old lease, section 70W(4)(b) of CAA 2001 (transfers, assignments etc by lessor) would have effect, in relation to the person who would be the new lessor if that section applied (“P”), to treat the lease that would be the new lease in that case as a lease that is not a long funding lease;

and P is the relevant lessor for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b).

(7)Condition E is that—

(a)Chapter 2 of Part 9 and the amendments of CAA 2001 made by Schedule 8 to FA 2006 do not apply to a lease (“the old lease”) in the case of a lessee (“the old lessee”),

(b)there is a transfer of plant or machinery,

(c)immediately before the transfer the old lessee is within the charge to tax,

and Q is the relevant lessee for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(c).

(a)paragraphs 17 and 26 of that Schedule for the meaning of “excepted lease”,

(b)paragraph 23 of that Schedule for when a lease is “finalised”, and

(c)paragraph 27 of that Schedule for general interpretation.

(11)See also paragraph 21 of that Schedule, which—

(4)For the purpose of calculating the profits of the lessor under lease B for a period of account ending on or after 13 December 2007 that is not within sub-paragraph (3), the lessor is treated as receiving for that period income attributable to lease B of an amount equal to the relevant amount.

(5)The relevant amount is an amount equal to so much of the rentals that—

(11)The amount of the deduction is (if it would otherwise exceed that amount) limited to the total amount brought into account in respect of the lease as a result of sub-paragraph (2) or (4).

(12)If lease A becomes a long funding lease as a result of section 70H of CAA 2001 (and does not cease to be such a lease), this paragraph is treated as never having applied in relation to lease B.

(13)Chapter 6A of Part 2 of CAA 2001 (interpretation of provisions about long funding leases) applies for the purposes of this paragraph.
