(2)Arrangements are “disqualifying arrangements” for the purposes of this section if—
(a)the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of the arrangements is to secure a tax advantage connected with expenditure being first-year qualifying expenditure under section 45S (including securing the advantage by avoiding a balancing charge under section 59A or 59B or reducing the amount or timing of such a charge), and
(b)it is reasonable, taking account of all the relevant circumstances—

(6)Chapter 5 has effect as if after section 59 there were inserted—
(1)This section applies if a first-year allowance has been made to a company in respect of first-year qualifying expenditure under section 45S which is not special rate expenditure.
(2)If the company is required to bring a disposal value into account for an accounting period by reference to the plant or machinery on which the expenditure is incurred, the company is liable to a balancing charge for that period (whether or not it is also liable to any other balancing charge for that period).
(3)The amount of the balancing charge is the relevant proportion of the disposal value; and the relevant proportion is determined by dividing—
(a)the amount of the expenditure that was the subject of the allowance, by
(b)the total amount of expenditure that has been the subject of that or any other first-year allowance or has been allocated to a pool for that or any other accounting period.
(4)In relation to the accounting period for which the disposal value is brought into account, TDR (see section 55(1)(b)) for the pool to which the expenditure that was the subject of the allowance was allocated is to be reduced by the amount of the balancing charge.

(3)The amount of the balancing charge is the relevant proportion of the disposal value; and the relevant proportion is determined by—
(a)dividing the amount of the expenditure that was the subject of the allowance by two, and
(b)dividing the result of that division by the total amount of expenditure that has been the subject of that or any other first-year allowance or has been allocated to a pool for that or any other accounting period.
(4)In relation to the accounting period for which the disposal value is brought into account, TDR (see section 55(1)(b)) for the pool to which the expenditure that was the subject of the allowance was allocated is to be reduced by the amount of the balancing charge.
(1)This section applies if arrangements are entered into the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is—
(a)to secure that a balancing charge under section 59A or 59B is not chargeable on a company, or
(b)to secure a reduction in the amount, or a change in the timing, of a balancing charge under section 59A or 59B which is chargeable on a company.
