IntroductionU.K.
72(1)This Part provides for the exclusion from this Schedule of certain assets.
Where or to the extent that an asset of any description is so excluded, an option or other right to acquire or dispose of an asset of that description is similarly excluded.
(2)This Part provides for three kinds of exclusion—
(a)assets within paragraphs 73 to 77 are entirely excluded from this Schedule;
(b)assets within paragraphs 78 to 81 are excluded from the provisions of this Schedule except as regards royalties;
(c)assets within paragraph 82 or 83 are excluded from the provisions of this Schedule to the extent specified in the paragraph concerned.
(3)Where by virtue of any of those paragraphs an asset is excluded to the extent that—
(a)it represents certain rights, or
(b)it is an asset of a certain description, or
(c)it is held for certain purposes, or
(d)it represents expenditure of a certain kind,
the provisions of this Schedule apply as if there were a separate asset representing so much of the asset as is not so excluded.
(4)The other provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts have effect as if there were a separate asset representing so much of the asset as is excluded.
(5)Any apportionment necessary for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) shall be made on a just and reasonable basis.
