361 Lessor under long funding finance lease: exceptional items

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company is or has been the lessor under a long funding finance lease, and (b) an exceptional profit or loss arises to the company in connection with the lease. (2) A profit or loss is exceptional for the purposes of subsection (1) if— (a) in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice it falls (or would fall) to be recognised for accounting purposes in a period of account, but (b) apart from this section, it would not be brought into account in calculating the profits of the company for corporation tax purposes. (3) Such a profit is treated for corporation tax purposes as income of the company attributable to the lease. (4) Such a loss is treated for corporation tax purposes as a revenue expense incurred by the company in connection with the lease. (5) It does not matter for the purposes of this section whether the profit or loss is of an income or capital nature. (6) The reference in subsection (2) 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 in— (a) the company's profit and loss account, income statement or statement of comprehensive income for that period, (b) the company's statement of total recognised gains and losses, statement of recognised income and expense, statement of changes in equity or statement of income and retained earnings for that period, or (c) any other statement of items taken into account in calculating the company'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.
