(b)this section has applied to other plant or machinery in that pool since the disposal event.

(5)The appropriate sum is—

(4)The amendments made by this section have effect in relation to chargeable periods ending on or after the day on which this Act is passed (“the commencement day”).

(5)For anyone who was a relevant individual for the most recent chargeable period ending before the commencement day, sections 825B and 825C of ITTOIA 2005 have effect (on and after that day) as if references in those sections to section 825A were references to section 825 as it was in force immediately before the commencement day.
