BLM70401 - Schedule 12 FA 1997: definition of a Part I lease: introduction


FA07/Sch12/Part I is aimed at finance leases that are capable of allowing the lessor (or a connected person) to get back any of the return on the lessor's outlay as a capital sum, rather than rental income.

A Part I lease (see BLM70410) is one which simultaneously satisfies the five conditions set out in Paragraph 3 of the Schedule (see BLM70415). Once it has satisfied those conditions it remains within Part I until it is terminated or assigned to (broadly) an unconnected person.
