Textual Amendments
F1Sch. 17A inserted (with effect in accordance with Sch. 39 para. 26 of the amending Act) by Finance Act 2004 (c. 12), Sch. 39 para. 22(2) (which amending provision re-enacts, subject to certain changes, a corresponding amendment made by the now revoked Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Land Tax (Variation of the Finance Act 2003) (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2816), see Sch. 39 para. 14) (with Sch. 39 paras. 11, 13(5))
8(1)Where the provisions of section 51 (1) and (2) (contingent, uncertain or unascertained consideration) apply in relation to a transaction by virtue of paragraph 7 (uncertain rent) and—U.K.
(a)the end of the fifth year of the term of the lease is reached, or
(b)the amount of rent payable in respect of the first five years of the term of the lease ceases to be uncertain at an earlier date,
the following provisions have effect to require or permit reconsideration of how this Part applies to the transaction (and to any transaction in relation to which it is a linked transaction).
(2)For the purposes of this paragraph the amount of rent payable ceases to be uncertain when—
(a)in the case of contingent rent, the contingency occurs or it becomes clear that it will not occur, and
(b)in the case of uncertain or unascertained rent, the amount becomes ascertained.
(3)If the result as regards the rent paid or payable in respect of the first five years of the term of the lease is that a transaction becomes notifiable, or that additional tax is payable in respect of a transaction or that tax is payable where none was payable before—
(a)the purchaser must make a return to the Inland Revenue within 30 days of the date referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b),
(b)the return must contain a self-assessment of the tax chargeable in respect of the transaction on the basis of the information contained in the return,
(c)the tax so chargeable is to be calculated by reference to the rates in force at the effective date of the transaction, and
[F2(d)the tax or additional tax payable must be paid not later than the filing date for the return.]
(4)The provisions of Schedule 10 (returns, enquiries, assessment and other matters) apply to a return under this paragraph as they apply to a return under section 76 (general requirement to make land transaction return), subject to the adaptation that references to the effective date of the transaction shall be read as references to the date referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b).
(5)If the result as regards the rent paid or payable in respect of the first five years of the term of the lease is that less tax is payable in respect of the transaction than has already been paid—
(a)the purchaser may, within the period allowed for amendment of the land transaction return, amend the return accordingly;
(b)after the end of that period he may (if the land transaction return is not so amended) make a claim to the Inland Revenue for repayment of the amount overpaid.]
