BLM72055 - ’Income-into-capital’ schemes and back loaded leases: Relief for set-offs against rentals: cumulative accountancy rental excess: example 2

Example

Example 1 in BLM72030 shows the cumulative accountancy rental excess brought forward and set off during the first 6 years of a lease. If in Example 1 the leased asset was sold by the lessor for £25,000 at the end of period 3 the cumulative accountancy rental excess (‘CARE’) at the end of that period (£1400 - see table below) is set against the £25,000 in the capital gains computation.
