If the aggregate is nil the market value will constitute the relevant plant or machinery value.
11.New sub-paragraph (2) introduces these conditions, conditions A and B.

The combined effect of new sub-paragraph (2)(b) and new sub-paragraph (2B) is to capture assets transferred to the lessor company in the course of the relevant day from associated companies.
21.Sub-paragraph (4) makes clear that these amounts are for the purposes of this paragraph only by substituting "the purposes of this paragraph" for "this purpose" in sub-paragraph (3).
22.Paragraph (6) inserts new paragraph 17A. New paragraph 17A makes adjustments to the aggregate if certain conditions are met. When the conditions are met any amount included in the aggregate in respect of the plant or machinery is deducted and the market value of the plant or machinery is added to the aggregate. If the aggregate is nil the market value will constitute the relevant plant or machinery value.
23.New sub-paragraph (2) introduces these conditions, conditions A and B.
