234 Restrictions on section 232 expenses: lease of part of premises

(1) This section applies if— (a) a lease has been granted out of the taxed lease, (b) the lease does not extend to the whole of the premises subject to the taxed lease, and (c) the condition in subsection (2) is met. (2) The condition is that— (a) in calculating the amount of a receipt under any of sections 217 to 221 (receipts in respect of lease premiums or sums payable instead of rent, for surrender of lease or for variation or waiver of terms of lease) in respect of the lease, there is a reduction under section 228 by reference to a taxed receipt, or (b) in calculating the amount of a receipt under any of sections 277 to 281 of ITTOIA 2005 (receipts in respect of lease premiums or sums payable instead of rent, for surrender of lease or for variation or waiver of terms of lease) in respect of the lease, there is a reduction under section 288 of that Act (the additional calculation rule) by reference to a taxed receipt. The receipt that is so reduced is referred to in this section as the “lease premium receipt”. (3) Subsections (4) to (6) apply for a qualifying day that falls within the receipt period of the lease premium receipt. (4) Sections 232 and 233 apply separately in relation to the part of the premises subject to the lease and to the remainder of the premises. (5) If— (a) more than one lease that does not extend to the whole of the premises subject to the taxed lease has been granted out of the taxed lease, and (b) the qualifying day falls within the receipt period of two or more lease premium receipts that relate to different leases, sections 232 and 233 apply separately in relation to each part of the premises subject to a lease to which such a receipt relates and to the remainder of the premises. (6) Where sections 232 and 233 apply in relation to a part of the premises, A becomes the amount calculated by multiplying the unreduced amount of the taxed receipt by the fraction of the premises constituted by the part. (7) This fraction is calculated on a just and reasonable basis.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
