Corporation Tax Act 2010

Section 926: Purpose of this Chapter

2745.This section sets out the main purpose of the Chapter. It is based on paragraph 15(2) of Schedule 12 to FA 1997.

2746.That purpose is to ensure that the taxable measure of earnings from the lease is not less than the accountancy measure. In effect, the rules take as the taxable earnings the amount which, but for this Part, the lessor would bring into account as rent from the lease for the purposes of corporation tax or the amount of the return on investment from the lease in accordance with GAAP, whichever is the higher. Unlike Chapter 2, this Chapter contains no special rules relating to reliefs for capital expenditure.
