148B Lessor under long funding finance lease: exceptional items

(1) This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade for a period of account if he is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease. (2) This section has effect where a profit or loss (whether of an income or capital nature)— (a) arises to the person in connection with the lease, and (b) in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice falls to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account, but (c) would not, apart from this section, be brought into account in calculating the profits of the person. (3) The profit or loss is to be treated— (a) in the case of a profit, as income of the person that is attributable to the lease, (b) in the case of a loss, as a revenue expense incurred by the person in connection with the lease. (4) Any reference in this section to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account is a reference to an amount falling to be recognised for accounting purposes— (a) in the person's profit and loss account or income statement, (b) in the person's statement of recognised gains and losses or statement of changes in equity, or (c) in any other statement of items brought into account in computing the person's profits or losses for that period.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
