BLM82060 - Sale of lessor companies and similar arrangements: anti- avoidance: interaction between paragraphs 38A and 38B


It is possible that the provisions in paragraph 38B will cover an arrangement also covered by the provisions in paragraph 38A.

The arrangement described in BLM82050 would be just such a situation. In this situation the reduction in the balance sheet figure is caused by the existence of the liability. Ignoring the effect of the transaction under paragraph 38A will have exactly the same effect as ignoring the liability under paragraph 38B.
