This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
11(1)Where the whole or part of the consideration for a land transaction consists of the carrying out of works of construction, improvement or repair of a building or other works to enhance the value of land, then—
(a)to the extent that the conditions specified in sub-paragraph (2) are met, the value of the works does not count as chargeable consideration, and
(b)to the extent that those conditions are not met, the value of the works is to be taken into account as chargeable consideration.
(2)The conditions are—
(a)that the works are carried out after the effective date of the transaction,
(b)that the works are carried out on land acquired or to be acquired under the transaction, and
(c)that it is not a condition of the transaction that the works are carried out by the seller or a person connected with the seller.
(3)Where, by virtue of section 10(3) (substantial performance of contract without completion), there are two notifiable transactions (the first being the contract or agreement and the second being the transaction effected on completion or, as the case may be, the grant or execution of the lease), the condition in sub-paragraph (2)(a) is treated as met in relation to the second transaction if it is met in relation to the first.
(4)In this paragraph—
(a)references to the acquisition of land are to the acquisition of a major interest in it,
(b)the value of the works is to be taken to be the amount that would have to be paid in the open market for the carrying out of the works in question.
(5)This paragraph is subject to paragraph 17 (arrangements involving public or educational bodies).
