16.Paragraph 7 repeals paragraphs 14 and 15 of Schedule 17A and makes consequential amendments to FA 2006 and the Scotland Act 2012. Paragraphs 14 and 15 impose an additional SDLT charge where there is a rent increase after the first five years of the term of a lease and this increase is 'abnormal'. Broadly speaking, an increase is abnormal if the rent doubles, or more than doubles, after the fifth year. HMRC must be notified each time there is an abnormal increase.
