»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp second of the five conditions which must be satisfied before a lease comes within Chapter 2 of Part 21 of CTA 2010 targets directly the mischief at which Chapter 2 is aimed, namely the capacity of some finance leases to give the lessor a return on its investment which takes the form of capital rather than rental income.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp condition is that under the leasing arrangements (see BLM70520) there may be payable to the lessor or a connected person a sum which is not rent but which under GAAP is treated:

  • in part as repayment of some or all of the investment in respect of the finance lease (or loan); and
  • in part as return on that investment (CTA10/S902(5)).

That sum is referred to as a ‘major lump sumâ€�. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp following features of this condition are considered below:

  • leasing arrangements - see BLM70520;
  • payments to connected person - see BLM70525;
  • exclusion of rent - see BLM70530;
  • repayment of investment - see BLM70535;
  • inclusion of return on investment - see BLM70540.
