13(1)Where, in accordance with paragraph 12 above, an amount of unapplied non-qualifying expenditure (“the excess expenditure”) falls to be treated as non-qualifying expenditure of earlier periods—
(a)it shall be attributed only to those earlier periods (if any) which, apart from the attribution, (but taking account of any previous operation of this paragraph) the relevant income and gains exceed the aggregate of the qualifying and non-qualifying expenditure incurred in that period; and
(b)the amount to be attributed to any such earlier period shall not be greater than the excess of that period referred to in paragraph (a) above.
(2)Where there is more than one earlier period to which the excess expenditure can be attributed in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) above, it shall be attributed to later periods in priority to earlier periods.
(3)In so far as any of the excess expenditure cannot be attributed to earlier periods in accordance with this paragraph, it shall be disregarded for the purposes of section 506(6) (and this Part of this Schedule).
