(1) If this Chapter applies to a transfer of a trade, CAA 2001 has effect subject to subsections (2) to (4).

(2) Any allowances or charges are to be made to or on the successor if such allowances or charges would have been made to or on the predecessor had the predecessor continued to carry on the transferred trade.

(a) the transfer of the assets is made on the transfer of the transferred trade, and

(b) the assets are in use for the purposes of that trade.

(4) For the purpose of determining the amount of the allowances or charges mentioned in subsection (2) to be made to the successor—

(a) the successor is to be treated as if it has been carrying on the transferred trade since the predecessor began to do so, and

(b) anything done to or by the predecessor is to be treated as having been done to or by the successor.

(5) This section is subject to sections 949 and 950.

(6) For other cases in which this section does not apply in relation to a transfer, see—
