Avoidance

70VTax avoidance involving international leasing

1

This section applies where matters are so arranged that there are plant or machinery leases such that—

a

under a lease by a non-resident, an asset is provided directly or indirectly to a resident,

b

the direct provision of the asset to the resident is by a lease which, in the case of the resident, is a long funding lease or a lease to which section 67 (hire purchase etc) applies,

c

the asset is used by the resident for the purpose of leasing it under a lease (the “relevant lease”) that would not (apart from this section) be a long funding lease in the case of the resident, and

d

under the relevant lease, the asset is provided directly or indirectly (but by a lease) to a non-resident.

2

Subsection (3) applies if the sole or main purpose of arranging matters in that way is to obtain a tax advantage by securing that allowances under this Part are available to a resident by virtue of—

a

section 67 (hire purchase), or

b

section 70A (long funding leases).

3

In any such case, the relevant lease is deemed to be a long funding lease in the case of the resident who is the lessor under it.

4

The reference in this section to a person obtaining a tax advantage (see section 577(4)) also includes a reference to a person obtaining a tax advantage within the meaning of F2section 1139 of CTA 2010.
