Propose a changeIn this Chapter “relevant period”, in relation to a trade, means— (a) a period of account of the trade, or (b) if no accounts of the trade are drawn up for a period, ... a tax year.
Propose a change(1) If a person carrying on a trade incurs production or acquisition expenditure, the expenditure is treated for income tax purposes as expenditure of a revenue nature. (2) If expenditure is treated under this section as revenue in nature, sums received by the person carrying on the trade from the disposal of the original master version— (a) are treated for income tax purposes as receipts of a revenue nature, and (b) are brought into account in calculating the profits of the trade of the relevant period in which they are received.

Propose a change(1) This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a trade of a relevant period if— (a) the trade consists of or includes the exploitation of the original master versions of . . . sound recordings, (b) the original master versions do not constitute trading stock of the trade (within the meaning of section 174), (c) the person carrying on the trade incurs production or acquisition expenditure in, or before, the relevant period, and (d) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) A deduction is allowed for the amount of the production or acquisition expenditure allocated to the relevant period, but this is subject to the application of any prohibitive rule. (3) The person carrying on the trade must allocate to the relevant period so much of the expenditure as is just and reasonable (but see subsection (5)). (4) In making this allocation regard must be had to the following— (a) the amount of the expenditure which remains unallocated at the beginning of the period, (b) the amount of the expenditure incurred in the period, (c) the proportion which the estimated value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise) bears to the sum of the value so realised and the estimated remaining value at the end of the period, and (d) the need to bring the whole of the expenditure into account over the time during which the value of the original master version is expected to be realised. (5) The person carrying on the trade may also allocate to the relevant period a further amount, so long as the total amount allocated to the period does not exceed the value of the original master version realised in the period (by way of income or otherwise). (6) Expenditure may not be allocated to the relevant period under this section if it is allocated— (a) under this section to any other relevant period, (b) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Propose a changeThe provisions of this Chapter apply to professions and vocations as they apply to trades.
Propose a changeIn this Chapter a “relevant telecommunication right” means— (a) a licence granted under section 8 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 in accordance with regulations made under section 14 of that Act (bidding for licences), (b) an indefeasible right to use a telecommunications cable system, or (c) a right derived (directly or indirectly) from such a licence or indefeasible right.
Propose a change(1) This section applies if, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, an amount in respect of— (a) expenditure on the acquisition of a relevant telecommunication right, or (b) a receipt from the disposal of a relevant telecommunication right, is recognised in the accounts of a trade as an item in the calculation of profit or loss. (2) The amount is treated for income tax purposes as an item of a revenue nature. (3) “The acquisition of a relevant telecommunication right” includes— (a) the extension of rights attached to a relevant telecommunication right, and (b) if a relevant telecommunication right is subject to a derivative right, the cancellation or restriction of rights attached to the derivative right. (4) “The disposal of a relevant telecommunication right” includes— (a) the cancellation or restriction of rights attached to a relevant telecommunication right, and (b) the granting of a derivative right or the extension of rights attached to a derivative right.
Propose a change(1) This section applies if, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, an amount in respect of the revaluation of a relevant telecommunication right is recognised in the accounts of a trade (whether or not as an item in the calculation of profit or loss). (2) The amount is treated for income tax purposes as an item of a revenue nature. (3) In calculating the profits of the trade, the amount is brought into account for the period of account in which it is recognised.
Propose a changeNothing in this Chapter applies in calculating the profits of a trade on the cash basis.
Propose a change(1) This section applies for the purpose of calculating the profits of a person carrying on a trade for a period of account in which he is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding finance lease. (2) The amount to be brought into account as the lessor's taxable income from the lease for the period of account is the amount of the rental earnings in respect of the lease for the period of account. (3) The “rental earnings” for any period is the amount which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as the gross return on investment for that period in respect of the long funding lease where it meets the finance lease test. (4) If the lease is one which, under generally accepted accounting practice, falls (or would fall) to be treated as a loan in the accounts in question, so much of the rentals under the lease as fall (or would fall) to be treated as interest are to be treated for the purposes of this section as rental earnings.
Propose a change(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.
Propose a change(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) Where— (a) the lease terminates, and (b) a sum calculated by reference to the termination value is paid to the lessee, no deduction in respect of the sum paid to the lessee is allowed in calculating the profits of the person. (3) This section does not prevent a deduction in respect of a sum to the extent that the sum is brought into account in determining the person's rental earnings.
Propose a change(1) This section applies if a person carrying on a trade is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease for the whole or part of a period of account. (2) A deduction is allowed in calculating the profits of the person for the period of account for income tax purposes. (3) The amount of the deduction is so much of the expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease as is attributable to the period of account. (4) The expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease is— (a) the starting value of the plant or machinery, less (b) the amount which at the commencement of the term of the lease is expected to be its residual value (or, if section 148DB applies, would have been expected to be that value had that value been estimated at that time). (5) The expected gross reduction in value over the term of the lease that is attributable to the period of account is found by apportioning that reduction on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in the period of account. (6) For the meaning of “starting value”, see— (a) section 148DA (“starting value”: general), and (b) section 148DB (“starting value” where plant or machinery originally unqualifying). (7) For the meaning of “residual value”, see section 148J(2).
Propose a change(1) This section is about the meaning of “starting value” in section 148D in relation to a long funding operating lease (“the section 148D lease”). (2) But this section does not apply if the conditions in section 148DB(2) (“starting value” where plant or machinery originally unqualifying) are met. (3) If the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the section 148D lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery (“cost”). (4) If subsection (3) does not apply, the starting value depends on the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor. (5) If that use was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the section 148D lease (“market value”). (6) If that use was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the value at which the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other finance records of the lessor at the commencement of the term of the section 148D lease. (7) If that use was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the starting value is the lower of cost and market value. (8) For the meaning of “qualifying activity”, see section 148J(2).
Propose a change(1) This section applies if the conditions in subsection (2) are met in relation to a long funding operating lease to which section 148D applies. (2) The conditions are that— (a) the lessor owns the plant or machinery as a result of having incurred expenditure on its provision for purposes other than those of a qualifying activity, (b) the plant or machinery is brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of a qualifying activity on or after 1 April 2006, and (c) that qualifying activity is the leasing of the plant or machinery under the lease. (3) For the purposes of section 148D the starting value is the lower of— (a) first use market value, and (b) first use amortised market value. (4) “First use market value” means the market value of the plant or machinery at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity. (5) “First use amortised value” means the value that the plant or machinery would have at the time when it is first brought into use for the purposes of the qualifying activity on the assumptions in subsection (6). (6) The assumptions are that— (a) the cost of acquiring the plant or machinery had been written off on a straight line basis over its remaining useful economic life, and (b) any further capital expenditure incurred had been written off on a straight line basis over so much of its remaining economic life as remains at the time when the expenditure is incurred. (7) For the meaning of “qualifying activity”, “remaining useful economic life” and writing off on a straight line basis, see section 148J(2), section 148J(4) (and section 70YI of CAA 2001 as applied by that section) and section 148J(3) respectively.
Propose a change(1) This section applies if in any period of account— (a) a person carrying on a trade is the lessor of any plant or machinery under a long funding operating lease, (b) the person incurs capital expenditure in relation to the plant or machinery (the “additional expenditure”), and (c) the additional expenditure is not reflected in the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement time (see subsection (7)). (2) An additional deduction is allowed in calculating the profits of the person for income tax purposes for each period of account— (a) which ends after the incurring of the additional expenditure, and (b) in which the person is the lessor of the plant or machinery under the lease. (3) The amount of the deduction is so much of the expected reduction in value of the additional expenditure (“the expected reduction”) as is attributable to the period of account. (4) The expected reduction is the amount of the additional expenditure, less the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from that expenditure. (5) For how to determine that remaining residual value, see— (a) section 148EA (determination of remaining residual value resulting from lessor's first additional expenditure), and (b) section 148EB (determination of remaining residual value resulting from lessor's further additional expenditure). (6) The amount of the expected reduction attributable to the period of account is found by apportioning that reduction on a time basis according to the proportion of the term of the lease that falls in the period of account. (7) In this section “the commencement time” means— (a) except where section 148DB applies, the commencement of the term of the lease, and (b) if that section applies, the time when the plant or machinery is first brought into use by the lessor for the purposes of the qualifying activity.
Propose a change(1) This section sets out how the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from the additional expenditure (“RRV”) is determined for the purposes of section 148E(4) if section 148E has not applied in relation to any previous additional expenditure incurred by the person in relation to the leased plant or machinery. (2) RRV depends on whether— (a) the amount (“ARV”) which is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery at the time when the additional expenditure is incurred, exceeds (b) the amount (“CRV”) which at the commencement of the term of the lease is expected to be its residual value (or, if section 148DB applies, would have been expected to be that value had that value been estimated at that time). (3) If ARV exceeds CRV, RRV is the part of the excess that is a result of the additional expenditure. (4) Otherwise, RRV is nil. (5) For the meaning of “residual value”, see section 148J(2).
Propose a change(1) This section sets out how the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from the additional expenditure (“RRV”) is determined for the purposes of section 148E(4) if section 148E has applied in relation to previous additional expenditure incurred by the person in relation to the leased plant or machinery. (2) RRV depends on whether— (a) the amount which is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery at the time when the further additional expenditure is incurred (“FARV”), exceeds (b) the sum of the amounts in subsection (3). (3) Those amounts are— (a) the amount which at the commencement of the term of the lease is expected to be the residual value of the plant or machinery (or, if section 148DB applies, would have been expected to be that value had that value been estimated at that time), and (b) any amounts that were subtracted under section 148E(4) as the remaining residual value of the plant or machinery resulting from the previous additional expenditure. (4) If FARV exceeds the sum of the amounts in subsection (3), RRV is the portion of the excess that is a result of the further additional expenditure. (5) Otherwise, RRV is nil. (6) For the meaning of “residual value”, see section 148J(2).
