BLM74335 - Schedule 12 FA 1997: lease changes: catching-up charge - 'existing' lease first comes within Part I


A 'catching up' charge may be necessary when an 'existing' lease first comes within Part I after 26 November 1996. FA97/Sch12/Para13 deals with an 'existing' lease which is not a Part I lease, when the test is initially applied as at 26 November 1996, but which later satisfies the conditions in paragraph 3 and so becomes a Part I lease. Paragraph 13 imposes a 'catching up' charge at the point the conditions are first satisfied. Thereafter the other rules in Part I apply in the usual way.
