CA33010 - IBA: Relevant interest: Acquired when construction is complete

CAA01/S287

If a person who incurs expenditure on the construction of a building has an agreement that he will be granted an interest in the building once construction is complete, the interest, which is granted after construction is complete, is the relevant interest.

Example Browne, who has no other interest in the land concerned, builds a warehouse under an agreement for a lease of that warehouse when construction is complete. The relevant interest in the warehouse is the lease that is granted after construction is complete.
