BLM74605 - Schedule 12 FA 1997: Part II: purpose


The sole purpose of Part II is to ensure that recognition for tax of rentals from finance leases, which do not have the capacity to turn income into capital, does not lag behind recognition in the accounts. It contains no rules about capital allowances disposal adjustment. Nor are there any 'catching up' provisions equivalent to paragraph 13 when a lease comes within Part II part way through its term.

You should make a report to CT & VAT (Technical) where a lessor exits from a lease within Part II by indirect means which avoid ordinary disposal adjustments for capital allowances.
