Textual Amendments

F1 Pt. 11A Ch. 2 inserted (with effect in accordance with s. 381(1) of the amending Act) by Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 (c. 8), s. 381(1), Sch. 3 para. 3 (with Sch. 9 paras. 1-9, 22)

614BP Effect of disposals of leases: general U.K.

(1) This section applies if the current lessor (“L”) or a person connected with L disposes of—

(a) the lessor's interest under the lease,

(b) the leased asset, or

(c) an asset representing the leased asset (see section 614DD).

(2) This Part has effect as if immediately before the disposal a period of account of L ended and another began.

(3) If—

(a) two or more disposals within subsection (1) are made at the same time, and

(b) there is any cumulative accountancy rental excess for any period of account of L in which the disposal occurs,

subsection (2) has effect in relation to those disposals as if they together constituted a single disposal.

(4) In this section “dispose” and “disposal” are to be read in accordance with TCGA 1992.

(5) In cases where there is any cumulative accountancy rental excess for L's period of account in which the disposal occurs, section 37A of that Act (consideration on disposal of certain leases) makes provision for the purposes of that Act about the reduction of the consideration for the disposal by that excess in determining if a gain has accrued.

614BQ Assignments on which neither a gain nor a loss accrues U.K.

(1) This section applies if—

(a) the current lessor (“L”) assigns the lessor's interest under the lease, and

(b) the assignment is a disposal on which, as a result of any of the no gain/no loss provisions, neither a gain nor a loss accrues.

(2) This Part has effect as if—

(a) a period of account of L (“L's period”) ended with the assignment, and

(b) a period of account of the assignee (“A's period”) began with the assignment.

(3) Any cumulative accountancy rental excess for L's period becomes the cumulative accountancy rental excess for A's period.

(4) Any cumulative normal rental excess for L's period becomes the cumulative normal rental excess for A's period.

(5) If the assignee is a company subject to the charge to corporation tax on income, so far as this section relates to the assignee, it applies for the purposes of Part 21 of CTA 2010 as it would otherwise apply for the purposes of this Part.

(6) In this section “the no gain/no loss provisions” has the same meaning as in TCGA 1992 (see section 288(3A) of that Act).]
