(b)

the disposal value to be brought into account in relation to that cessation of ownership is the tax written-down value.

In subsection (2)(b) “tax written-down value” means such amount as would give rise to neither a balancing allowance nor a balancing charge.

(4)

For the purposes of subsection (3) assume that—

(a)

expenditure to which the disposal value relates is in its own pool;

(b)

profits or gains arising to all participants from the qualifying activity are, or (if there were any) would be, chargeable to tax.
