270IGTreatment of leasesU.K.

(1)This section applies for the purposes of this Part.

(2)A lease is treated as continuing if it is renewed, extended or replaced.

(3)If a lease is terminated and, with the consent of the lessor, the lessee of a building or structure remains in possession of the building or structure after the termination without a new lease being granted to the lessee, the lease is treated as continuing so long as the lessee remains in possession.

(4)If, on the termination of a lease, a new lease is granted to the lessee as a result of the exercise of an option available to the lessee under the terms of the first lease, the second lease is treated as a continuation of the first.

(5)If, on the termination of a lease, the lessor pays a sum to the lessee in respect of a building or structure comprised in the lease, the lease is treated as if it had come to an end by surrender in consideration of the payment.

(6)If—

(a)on the termination of a lease, another lease is granted to a different lessee, and

(b)in connection with the transaction that lessee pays a sum to the person who was the lessee under the first lease,

the two leases are to be treated as if they were the same lease which had been assigned by the lessee under the first lease to the lessee under the second lease in consideration of the payment.]
