BLM74360 - Schedule 12 FA 1997: lease changes: catching-up charge - deemed periods of account


In order to calculate correctly the cumulative accountancy rental excess used to measure the 'catching up' charge a period of account is deemed to end immediately before the lease first comes with Part I (FA97/Sch12/Para13 (2)(a)). That ensures that any rental excess arising from the beginning of the actual period of account in which the change of status occurs is properly recognised. The catching-up charge is crystallised at the end of that deemed period of account.
