Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 44: Surplus business accommodation
194.This section allows income from letting surplus business accommodation to be treated as a trade receipt instead of as rent. It is based on the practice known as “Revenue Decision 9” set out in the HMRC publication Tax Bulletin of 15 February 1994. The corresponding rule for income tax is in section 21 of ITTOIA. See Change 5 in Annex 1.
