If a person's interest in the premises is a lease that comes to an end before the end of the deduction period, the interest is treated as if transferred to the following persons.

If a new lease of the premises is granted and the new tenant makes a payment in respect of the embankment in question to the old tenant, the transferee is the new tenant.

Otherwise the transferee is the owner of the interest in immediate reversion on the lease (or, in Scotland, the landlord).
