(2)If the new expenditure exceeds the maximum allowable amount, the excess—
(a)is to be left out of account in determining the current owner’s qualifying expenditure, or

(3)The maximum allowable amount is—
where—
D is the disposal value of the plant or machinery which the past owner has been or is required to bring into account, and
I is any of the new expenditure that is treated under section 25 (building alterations in connection with installation) as expenditure on the provision of the plant or machinery.
(4)If more than one disposal event has occurred requiring the past owner to bring the disposal value of the plant or machinery into account, the maximum allowable amount is calculated by reference only to the most recent of those events.
(5)For the purposes of this section, the current owner and the past owner may be the same person.
(6)In subsection (1)(b) “relevant earlier time” means (subject to subsection (7)) any time before the earliest time when the current owner is treated as owning the plant or machinery as a result of incurring the new expenditure.
(7)If, before the earliest time when the current owner is treated as owning the plant or machinery as a result of incurring the new expenditure—
(a)any person has ceased to own the plant or machinery as a result of a sale,
(b)the sale was not a sale of the plant or machinery as a fixture, and
(c)the buyer and seller were not connected persons at the time of the sale,
