(1)M1This section applies in any case where in respect of a lease of any premises—
[F2(a)any amount falls to be treated as a receipt of a Schedule A business by virtue of section 34 or 35, or
(b)any amount would fall to be so treated but for the operation of subsection (2) or (3) below,]
and [F3that amount] is in this section referred to as “the amount chargeable on the superior interest” and any such lease is referred to as “the head lease”.
(2)Where—
(a)a lease is granted out of, or there is a disposition of, the head lease, and
(b)in respect of that grant or disposition a person would, apart from this subsection, [F4be treated by virtue of section 34 or 35 as receiving any amount as income in the course of carrying on a Schedule A business](“the later chargeable amount”),
then the amount [F5which he shall be treated as having so received] shall, subject to subsection (3) below, be the excess (if any) of the later chargeable amount over the appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable on the superior interest.
(3)Where a person would, apart from subsection (2) above, be [F6treated by virtue of section 34 or 35 as having received any amount as income in the course of carrying on a Schedule A business and falls to be so treated] in respect of a lease or disposition which extends to a part only of the premises subject to the head lease, the amount [F7which he shall be treated as having so received] shall be the excess (if any) of the later chargeable amount over the appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable on the superior interest as, on a just apportionment, is attributable to that part of the premises.
(4)M2Subject to subsection (5) below, the person for the time being entitled to the head lease shall be treated for the [F8purpose, in computing the profits of a Schedule A business, of making deductions in respect of the disbursements and expenses of that business] as paying rent for those premises (in addition to any actual rent), becoming due from day to day, during any part of the period in respect of which the amount chargeable on the superior interest arose for which he was entitled to the head lease, and, in all, bearing to that amount the same proportion as that part of the period bears to the whole.
(5)M3Where subsection (2) above applies, subsection (4) above shall apply for the period in respect of which the later chargeable amount arose only if the appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable on the superior interest exceeds the later chargeable amount, and shall then apply as if the amount chargeable on the superior interest were reduced in the proportion which that excess bears to that appropriate fraction.
(6)Where subsection (3) above applies, subsections (4) and (5) above shall be applied separately to the part of the premises referred to in subsection (3) above and to the remainder of the premises, but as if for any reference to the amount chargeable on the superior interest there were substituted a reference to that amount proportionately adjusted.
(7)M4For the purposes of this section—
(a)the appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable on the superior interest is the fraction—
where—
A is the period in respect of which the later chargeable amount arose; and
B is the period in respect of which the amount chargeable on the superior interest arose; and
(b)the period in respect of which an amount arose—
(i)where it arose under section 34, shall be the period treated in computing the amount as being the duration of the lease;
(ii)where it arose under section 35, shall be the period treated in computing the amount as being the duration of the lease remaining at the date of the assignment.
(8)M5Where the amount chargeable on the superior interest arose under section 34(2) by reason of an obligation which included the carrying out of work in respect of which any capital allowance has fallen or will fall to be made, subsections (1) to (6) above shall apply as if the obligation had not included the carrying out of that work and that amount had been calculated accordingly.
(9)M6An amount or part of an amount shall not be deducted under this section more than once from any sum, or from more than one sum, and shall not in any case be so deducted if it has been otherwise allowed as a deduction in computing the income of any person for tax purposes.
