Introduction

Part 9: Leasing plant or machinery

Chapter 2: Long funding leases of plant or machinery
Section 366: Long funding operating lease: lessor’s additional expenditure

1134.This section provides for an additional deduction by a lessor under a long funding operating lease if the lessor incurs additional expenditure in relation to the leased plant or machinery. It is based on section 502F(1) to (4) and (7) to (11) of ICTA.

1135.This section, together with sections 367 and 368, presents the calculation required by section 502F of ICTA in a substantially different way. The provision has been restructured to improve the accessibility of the legislation for lessor companies and their advisers, in particular by splitting out the different basis of calculation required where the lessor has previously incurred additional expenditure.
