Land sold to financial institution and leased to a person
303.The provisions at paragraph 2 cover situations where a financial institution:
purchases a major interest in land from a person (“P”) or from another financial institution which has purchased the interests under the types of arrangements discussed in paragraph 2(1) entered into between it and P (“the first transaction”);
leases the land back to P; and
enters into an agreement under which P has a right to require that the financial institution transfers the major interest back to P. Subject to the conditions set out in the paragraph, those transactions are relieved from LTT.
304.Relief is also available where a financial institution purchases a major interest from another financial institution that has entered into such arrangements with a person.
