Leases that continue after a fixed termU.K.

[F13(1)This paragraph applies to—

(a)a lease for a fixed term and thereafter until determined, or

(b)a lease for a fixed term that may continue beyond the fixed term by operation of law.

(2)For the purposes of this Part (except [F2sections 77 and 77A] (notifiable transactions)), a lease to which this paragraph applies is treated—

(a)in the first instance as if it were a lease for the original fixed term and no longer,

(b)if the lease continues after the end of that term, as if it were a lease for a fixed term one year longer than the original fixed term,

(c)if the lease continues after the end of the term resulting from the application of paragraph (b), as if it were a lease for a fixed term two years longer than the original fixed term,

and so on.

(3)Where the effect of sub-paragraph (2) in relation to the continuation of the lease after the end of a fixed term is that additional tax is payable in respect of a transaction or that tax is payable in respect of a transaction where none was payable before—

(a)the purchaser must deliver a return or further return in respect of that transaction before the end of the period of 30 days after the end of that term,

(b)the return must include a self-assessment of the amount of 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

[F3(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, assessments and other matters) apply to a return under this paragraph as they apply to a return under section 76 (general requirement to deliver land transaction return), with the adaptation that references to the effective date of the transaction shall be read as references to the day on which the lease becomes treated as being for a longer fixed term.

(5)For the purposes of [F4sections 77 and 77A] (notifiable transactions) a lease to which this paragraph applies is a lease for whatever is its fixed term.]
