Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (Scotland) Act 2013

Cases where assignation of lease treated as grant of a lease

304.Paragraph 27(1) applies the provisions of that paragraph where one of the following tax reliefs were claimed for the grant of a lease: sale and leaseback relief, relief for alternative finance investment bonds, group relief, charities relief and public bodies relief (as set out in sub-paragraph (3)).

305.Sub-paragraph (2) provides that where the lease is assigned to a different tenant and none of those tax reliefs would apply, then the lease is subject to LBTT and is considered to be the grant of a lease by the assignor for the remaining term of the lease and on the terms agreed to by the assignee.

306.Sub-paragraph (4) disapplies paragraph 27 where group relief, reconstruction relief, acquisition relief or charities relief has been withdrawn prior to the effective date of the assignation. Sub-paragraph (5) refers to the relevant provisions in the Act in relation to the withdrawal of each of those reliefs.
