is calculated as if the firm were a UK resident company.

(2)

Each partner's share of any amount brought into account as a receipt under Chapter 14 of Part 3, or section 262, is determined according to the firm's profit-sharing arrangements for the 12 months ending immediately before the date on which the new basis was adopted.

(3)

(4)

A change in the persons carrying on a property business from one period of account to the next does not prevent section 262 applying (by virtue of section 261) in relation to the property business so long as a company carrying on the property business in partnership immediately before the change continues to carry it on in partnership after the change.
