Introduction Overview Overview Section 359: Overview of Chapter
1114.This section sets out the structure of the Chapter and contains a signpost to section 381 for the meaning of terms used in the Chapter. It is new.
1115.The Chapter is arranged so that it deals first with the calculation of the taxable profits of the lessor and then with the calculation of the taxable profits of the lessee. In each case it deals with the lessor or lessee first as party to a long funding finance lease and then as party to a long funding operating lease.
1116.The terms “long funding lease” and “long funding finance lease” take their meaning from Chapter 6A of Part 2 of CAA and “long funding operating lease” is defined by reference to those terms. See section 381(2).
1117.It is an integral part of the definition of “long funding lease” in CAA that the subject matter of the lease is plant or machinery (see sections 70G, 70J and 70K of CAA).
