Commentary on Sections

Part 3: Property income

Chapter 5: Profits of property businesses: other rules about receipts and deductions
Section 318: Transfer involving company within the charge to corporation tax

1299.This section ensures that entitlement to a deduction for expenditure on seawalls continues properly when the interest in the premises is transferred between an income tax payer and a corporation tax payer. It is based on section 30(2) of ICTA.

1300.Entitlement to a deduction for expenditure on seawalls can be transferred with ownership of the premises. That transfer can be between an income tax payer and a corporation tax payer. Section 316 deals with transfers between income tax payers. But it cannot deal with a transfer from a corporation tax payer to an income tax payer or the reverse because the provisions in this Act apply only to income tax payers.

1301.Section 318 allows the seawalls provisions in this Act to work properly in respect of the party to the transfer who is subject to income tax.

1302.Subsection (4) signposts the reader to the source provision in ICTA that deals with the party to the transfer who is subject to corporation tax.
