Temporary disuse of building or structure.
|
270.—(1) For the purpose of this Chapter, a building or structure shall not be deemed to cease altogether to be used by reason that it falls temporarily out of use on or after the 15th day of April, 1959, and where, immediately before any period of temporary disuse beginning on or after that day, a building or structure is an industrial building or structure, it shall be deemed to continue to be an industrial building or structure during the period of temporary disuse.
|
|
| |
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part as to the manner of making allowances and charges, where by reason of the provisions of subsection (1) a building or structure is deemed to continue to be an industrial building or structure while temporarily out of use then, if—
|
|
| |
(a) upon the last occasion upon which the building or structure was in use as an industrial building or structure, it was in use for the purposes of a trade which has since been permanently discontinued, or
|
|
| |
(b) upon the last occasion upon which the building or structure was in use as an industrial building or structure, the relevant interest therein was subject to a lease which has since come to an end,
|
|
| |
any annual allowance or balancing allowance falling to be made to any person in respect of the building or structure during any period for which the temporary disuse continues after the discontinuance of the trade or the coming to an end of the lease shall be made by way of discharge or repayment of tax, and any balancing charge falling to be made on any person in respect of the building or structure during that period shall be made under Case IV of Schedule D.
|
|
| |
(3) The reference in this section to the permanent discontinuance of a trade does not include a reference to the happening of any event which, by virtue of any of the provisions of this Act, is to be treated as equivalent to the discontinuance of the trade.
