BLM73050 - Schedule 12 FA 1997: capital allowances: allowances for costs of acquiring master negatives of films


FA97/Sch12/Para11(10) ensures that a major lump sum in respect of the lease of a film qualifying for revenue deductions under CAA90/S68, F(No 2)A92/Ss41 or 42 is treated as a revenue receipt of the business. This is to the extent that such treatment is not already required by CAA90/S68(8) for example where the major lump sum is received by a connected person of the lessor. Since ordinary film disposal proceeds are not restricted to cost there is no equivalent restriction of the amount of the major lump sum to be taken into account as a revenue receipt of the business.
