Commentary on Sections Glossary History Section 356: Apportionment of sums partly referable to non-qualifying assets
1207.This section is based on section 21(3) of CAA 1990. It is an additional provision over and above those in Part 12 which apportion sale proceeds between different property. It apportions the proceeds if there is a sale of the relevant interest in a building and only some of the assets represent qualifying expenditure.
1208.There is a minor change. Section 21(3) of CAA 1990 refers to an amount which “on a just apportionment is attributable to assets…”. Subsection (1) uses the words “on a just and reasonable apportionment is attributable to assets…”. In practice this should not make any difference to the outcome of an apportionment. See Change 40 in Annex 1.
1209.Subsection (2) makes clear that this applies not only on the sale of the relevant interest in a building but also to other balancing events which give rise to proceeds. See sections 315 and 316.
