(2)Where the terms subject to which a lease is granted impose on the tenant an obligation to carry out any work on the premises, the lease shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to have required the payment of a premium to the landlord (in addition to any other premium) of an amount equal to the amount by which the value of the landlord’s estate or interest immediately after the commencement of the lease exceeds what its then value would have been if those terms did not impose that obligation on the tenant.

(3)M2Subsection (2) above shall not apply in so far as the obligation requires the carrying out of work the payment for which would, if the landlord and not the tenant were obliged to carry it out, be deductible [F5as an expense of any Schedule A business carried on by the landlord].

(4)M3Where, under the terms subject to which a lease is granted, a sum becomes payable by the tenant in lieu of the whole or a part of the rent for any period, or as consideration for the surrender of the lease, the lease shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to have required the payment of a premium to the landlord (in addition to any other premium) of the amount of that sum; but—

(a)[F6in computing the profits of the Schedule A business of which the sum payable in lieu of rent is by virtue of this subsection to be treated as a receipt], the duration of the lease shall be treated as not including any period other than that in relation to which the sum is payable; and

(b)notwithstanding anything in subsection (1) above, rent treated as arising by virtue of this subsection shall be [F7deemed to be received] when the sum in question becomes payable by the tenant.

(5)Where, as consideration for the variation or waiver of any of the terms of a lease, a sum becomes payable by the tenant otherwise than by way of rent, the lease shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to have required the payment of a premium to the landlord (in addition to any other premium) of the amount of that sum; but—

(a)in computing [F8the profits of the Schedule A business of which that sum is by virtue of this subsection to be treated as a receipt], the duration of the lease shall be treated as not including any period which precedes the time at which the variation or waiver takes effect, or falls after the time at which it ceases to have effect; and

(b)notwithstanding anything in subsection (1) above, rent treated as arising by virtue of this subsection shall be [F9deemed to be received] when the contract providing for the variation or waiver is entered into.

(6)M4Where a payment falling within subsection (1), (4) or (5) above is due to a person other than the landlord, [F10no amount shall fall under that subsection to be treated as a receipt of any Schedule A business carried on by the landlord; but [F11if that other person is a company, the company] shall be taken to have received as income an amount equal to the amount which would otherwise fall to be treated as rent and to be chargeable to [F12corporation tax] as if [F13the company] had received it in consequence of having, on [F14its] own account, entered into a transaction falling to be treated as mentioned in paragraph 1(2) of Schedule A.].

(7)Subsection (6) above shall not apply in relation to any payment falling within subsection (5) above unless it is due to a person who is, within the meaning of section 839, connected with the landlord.

[F15(7A)An amount treated under this section as rent shall be taken into account in computing the profits of the Schedule A business in question for the [F16accounting] period in which it is treated as received.]
