For the purposes of this Chapter—
(a)a developer is a person who carries on a trade which consists in whole or in part in the construction of buildings with a view to their sale, and
(b)an interest in a building is sold by the developer in the course of the development trade if the developer sells it in the course of the trade or (as the case may be) that part of the trade that consists in the construction of buildings with a view to their sale.
If—
(a)capital expenditure is incurred on the construction of a building, and
(b)the relevant interest in the building has not been sold or, if it has been sold, it has been sold only after the first use of the building,
the capital expenditure is qualifying expenditure.

(b)the relevant interest in the building is sold before the building is first used,
(c)a capital sum is paid by the purchaser for the relevant interest, and
(d)section 296 (purchase of building which has been sold unused by developer) does not apply.
(2)The lesser of—
(a)the capital sum paid by the purchaser for the relevant interest, and
(b)the expenditure incurred on the construction of the building,
is qualifying expenditure.
(3)The qualifying expenditure is to be treated as incurred by the purchaser when the capital sum became payable.
(4)If the relevant interest is sold more than once before the building is first used, subsection (2) has effect only in relation to the last of those sales.

(a)the sale of the relevant interest by the developer was the only sale of that interest before the building is used, and
(b)a capital sum is paid by the purchaser for the relevant interest,
the capital sum is qualifying expenditure.
(3)If—
(a)the sale by the developer was not the only sale before the building is used, and
(b)a capital sum is paid by the purchaser for the relevant interest on the last sale,
the lesser of that capital sum and the price paid for the relevant interest on its sale by the developer is qualifying expenditure.
(4)The qualifying expenditure is to be treated as incurred by the purchaser when the capital sum referred to in subsection (2)(b) or (3)(b) became payable.
(1)This section applies if—

(b)the relevant interest is sold by the developer in the course of the development trade after the building has been used.
(2)This Part has effect in relation to the person to whom the relevant interest is sold as if—
