Chapter 6 Hire-purchase etc. and plant or machinery provided by lessee

Plant or machinery provided by lessee

70 Plant or machinery provided by lessee

1

This section applies if—

a

under the terms of a lease, a lessee is required to provide plant or machinery,

b

the lessee incurs capital expenditure on the provision of that plant or machinery for the purposes of a qualifying activity which the lessee carries on,

c

the plant or machinery is not so installed or otherwise fixed in or to a building or any other description of land as to become, in law, part of that building or other land, and

d

the lessee does not own the plant or machinery.

2

The lessee—

a

is to be treated as being the owner of the plant or machinery, as a result of incurring the capital expenditure, for so long as it continues to be used for the purposes of the qualifying activity, but

b

is not required to bring a disposal value into account because the lease ends.

3

Subsection (4) applies if—

a

the plant or machinery continues to be used for the purposes of the lessee’s qualifying activity until the lease ends,

b

the lessor holds the lease in the course of a qualifying activity, and

c

on or after the ending of the lease, a disposal event occurs in respect of the plant or machinery at a time when the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of the requirement under the terms of the lease.

4

The lessor is required to bring a disposal value into account in the appropriate pool for the chargeable period in which the disposal event occurs.

5

The appropriate pool” means the pool which would be applicable under this Part in relation to the lessor’s qualifying activity if—

a

the expenditure incurred by the lessee had been qualifying expenditure incurred by the lessor, and

b

that qualifying expenditure were being allocated to a pool for the chargeable period in which the disposal event occurs.

6

In this section “lease” includes—

a

an agreement for a lease if the term to be covered by the lease has begun, and

b

any tenancy,

but does not include a mortgage (and “lessee” and “lessor” are to be read accordingly).
