and where, for the purposes of that subsection, this sub-paragraph applies as respects more than one of a number of successive acquisitions of any asset, the fact that each is to be treated as an acquisition from the same person shall be disregarded.

(3) Where—

(a) any asset has been acquired by any company (“the leaving company”) from another company,

(b) both of those companies cease at the same time to be members of the same group of companies as the new principal, and

(c) those companies are associated companies both immediately before and immediately after that time and at the time of the acquisition of the asset by the leaving company,

sub-paragraph (2) above shall not apply as respects the acquisition of the asset by the leaving company.

(4) Expressions used in this paragraph and in section 179 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 have the same meaning in this paragraph as in that section.

Capital allowances

4

(1) This paragraph applies in relation to any qualifying transfer of relevant assets—

(a) from London Regional Transport or any of its subsidiaries,

(b) to Transport for London or any of its subsidiaries.

(2) In this paragraph “relevant assets”, in the case of any qualifying transfer, means assets by reference to which capital allowances may be or have been made to the transferor.

(3) Where this paragraph applies in relation to a qualifying transfer of relevant assets—

(a) there shall be made to or on the successor in accordance with the the Capital Allowances Act 2001 all such allowances and charges as would, if the transferor had continued to carry on its trade or other activities, have fallen to be made to or on the transferor in respect of those assets; and

(b) the amount of any such allowance or charge shall be computed on a just basis as if—

(i) the acquisition of those assets by the transferor had been their acquisition by the successor for the purposes of the trade (if any) to be carried on by the successor on and after the transfer date;

(ii) the successor had been carrying on its trade (if any) at the time of that acquisition; and

(iii) everything done by or to the transferor in respect of those assets had been done by or to the successor (but so that the qualifying transfer itself, so far as it relates to any assets in use for the purpose of the trade, shall not be treated as giving rise to any such allowance or charge).

(4) The amounts falling to be taken into account in relation to the transferor as expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made shall be reduced, in relation to accounting periods beginning on or after the transfer date, by such amount as is just, taking into account the successor’s entitlement to capital allowances under sub-paragraph (3) above.

(5) The transferor’s entitlement to capital allowances for its accounting period in which the transfer date falls shall be reduced by an amount which is just.

(6) In the case of a qualifying transfer of relevant assets to Transport for London—

(a) in consequence of subsection (1) of section 419 of this Act, no allowances or charges are to be made to or on Transport for London by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) above; but

(b) sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) above shall have effect in relation to the transferor as if paragraph (a) had been omitted from that subsection.

(7) If any dispute arises as to the amount which is just for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3), (4) or (5) above—

(a) the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, the transferor or the successor may refer the dispute to the Secretary of State; and

(b) on any such reference, the amount which is just shall be such amount as the Secretary of State may determine with the approval of the Treasury.

(8) Neither—

(a) section 343(2) of the Taxes Act 1988 (company reconstructions without change of ownership), nor

(b) section 266 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (election where predecessor and successor are connected persons),

shall have effect by virtue of a qualifying transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies.

(9) Except as provided by this paragraph, a qualifying transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies shall be taken for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 not to give rise to—

(a) any writing-down allowances, balancing allowances or balancing charges under Chapter 5 of Part 2 of that Act (plant and machinery allowances and charges),

(b) any disposal value being treated as received for the purposes of that Chapter,

(d) any writing-down allowances, balancing allowances or balancing charges under Part 3 of that Act (industrial buildings allowances).

(10) In this paragraph and paragraph 10 below “the Capital Allowances Act 2001” includes, where the context admits, enactments which under the Taxes Act 1988 are to be treated as contained in the Capital Allowances Act 2001.

Preparatory transfers

5

(1) Paragraph 4 above shall have effect in relation to a preparatory transfer of relevant assets as it has effect in relation to a qualifying transfer in relation to which that paragraph applies.

(2) For the purposes of this paragraph, a “preparatory transfer” is a transfer of property, rights or liabilities—

(a) from London Regional Transport to a subsidiary of London Regional Transport,

(b) from a subsidiary of London Regional Transport to London Regional Transport, or

by virtue of an instrument, or in pursuance of an agreement, which is certified to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue by London Regional Transport as made in preparation for, or in pursuance of, a qualifying transfer falling within sub-paragraph (3) below.

(3) A qualifying transfer falls within this sub-paragraph if it is a transfer of shares in a company which—

(a) immediately before the transfer is a subsidiary of London Regional Transport; but

(b) as a result of the transfer becomes instead a subsidiary of Transport for London.

Part II — Public-Private Partnership Agreements

Interpretation

6

(1) In this Part of this Schedule—

“PPP scheme” means a transfer scheme made in preparation for, or in pursuance of, a PPP agreement;

“predecessor”, in relation to any relevant transfer, means the body from which the property, rights or liabilities in question are transferred by virtue of the PPP scheme in question;

“private sector company” means a company which is not a public sector operator;

“relevant transfer” means a transfer of any property, rights or liabilities by virtue of a PPP scheme;

“transfer date”, in the case of a relevant transfer, means the date on which the transfer takes effect;

“transfer scheme” means a scheme made under or by virtue of section 9(6) of the London Regional Transport Act 1984;

“transferee”, in relation to a relevant transfer, means the body to which the property, rights or liabilities in question are transferred by virtue of the PPP scheme in question.

(2) Any reference in this Part of this Schedule to a PPP agreement includes a reference to a contract—

(a) which is not a PPP agreement, by reason of the condition in subsection (6) of section 210 of this Act remaining to be satisfied (whether or not the condition in subsection (5) of that section also remains to be satisfied); but

(b) as respects which London Regional Transport certifies to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue—

(i) that the contract is intended by the parties to become a PPP agreement; and

(ii) that such one or more of the parties as may be specified in the certificate are intended to become PPP companies.

(3) In the case of a contract falling within sub-paragraph (2) above, any reference in this Schedule to a PPP company includes a reference to any company in respect of which the certificate under paragraph (b)(ii) of that sub-paragraph is given.

Revenue nature of payments under PPP agreements

7

Any payment made by a relevant body to a company in pursuance of a PPP agreement shall be deemed for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts—

(a) in the case of the relevant body, to be an expense of a revenue, rather than a capital, nature (and deductible accordingly in computing profits under Part 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009); and

(b) in the case of the company, to be a receipt of a trade carried on by the company (and taxable accordingly under Part 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009).

Chargeable gains: the share transfer to the private sector company

8

For the purposes of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, where pursuant to a PPP agreement there is a transfer of shares of a PPP company—

(a) from London Regional Transport or any of its subsidiaries,

(b) to a private sector company,

Chargeable gains: company leaving the LRT group

9

(1) For the purposes of section 179 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (company ceasing to be a member of a group) where, by virtue of a transfer of shares or an agreement to transfer shares from London Regional Transport or a subsidiary of London Regional Transport to a private sector company, a company (“the transferred company”) which is or is to be a party to a PPP agreement—

(a) ceases to be a member of the same group of companies as London Regional Transport, but

(b) becomes a member of a group of companies (“the A group”) of which the private sector company is a member (or becomes a member by virtue of the transfer or agreement to transfer the shares),

the transferred company shall not under that section be treated, in consequence of having so ceased, as at any time having sold, and immediately reacquired, any asset acquired from a company which is or has been a member of the former group.

(2) Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, where sub-paragraph (1) above applies, or but for subsection (2) of section 179 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 would apply, as respects any acquisition of any asset and the company that acquired the asset ceases to be a member of the A group, that section shall have effect as if—

(3) Where—

(a) any asset has been acquired by any company (“the leaving company”) from another company,

(b) both of those companies cease at the same time to be members of the A group, and

sub-paragraph (2) above shall not apply as respects the acquisition of the asset by the leaving company.

(4) Expressions used in this paragraph and in section 179 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 have the same meaning in this paragraph as in that section.

Capital allowances: general

10

(1) This paragraph applies in relation to any relevant transfer—

(a) from London Regional Transport to a subsidiary of London Regional Transport,

(b) from a subsidiary of London Regional Transport to London Regional Transport, or

which is certified to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue by London Regional Transport as made in preparation for, or in pursuance of, a PPP agreement.

(2) A PPP scheme which provides for a relevant transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies may include provision for amounts of expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made to the predecessor in relation to anything—

(a) to which the transfer relates, and

(b) which is specified, or of a description specified, for the purpose in the PPP scheme,

to be allocated to the transferee and treated for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts, as respects periods beginning on or after the transfer date, as expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made to the transferee instead of to the predecessor.

(3) Where an amount of expenditure is allocated under sub-paragraph (2) above to the transferee then, subject to sub-paragraph (4) below, there shall be made to or on the transferee in accordance with the Capital Allowances Act 2001 all such allowances and charges as would have fallen to be made to or on him had he incurred expenditure of that amount on the transfer date in the acquisition, for the purposes of a trade carried on by him, of anything falling within paragraphs (a) and (b) of sub-paragraph (2) above.

(4) For the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts, only such amounts (if any) as may be specified in or determined in accordance with the PPP scheme providing for a relevant transfer shall be allocated to the transferee in respect of expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) above in relation to anything to which the transfer relates.

(5) The allocation in accordance with sub-paragraphs (2) and (4) above of an amount of expenditure to the transferee shall affect the amounts falling to be taken into account in relation to the predecessor as expenditure by reference to which capital allowances may be made only so far as necessary to give effect to a reduction of any such amount by a sum equal to so much of that amount as is so allocated to the transferee.

(6) If the PPP scheme in question so provides, then, notwithstanding sub-paragraph (5) above,—

(a) the predecessor shall be entitled, for its accounting period in which the transfer date falls, to allowances, determined in accordance with the PPP scheme, in respect of the amount so allocated, but

(b) for that purpose that amount shall be treated as reduced to the amount which bears to it the proportion which that part of the accounting period which falls before the transfer date bears to twelve months;

and a PPP scheme which makes any such provision may also make provision for or in connection with the making of an adjustment, determined in accordance with the PPP scheme, in relation to the transferee’s entitlement to allowances.

(7) Subject to sub-paragraph (8) below, the provisions of a PPP scheme providing for the determination of any amount which for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (2) and (4) above is to be allocated, in the case of any relevant transfer, to the transferee may include provision—

(a) for such a determination to be made by the Secretary of State in such manner as may be described in the scheme;

(b) for any amount determined to be calculated by reference to such factors, or to the opinion of such person, as may be so described;

(d) for a determination under those provisions, or under sub-paragraph (6) above, to be capable of being modified, on one or more occasions, in such manner and in such circumstances as may be so described.

(8) The consent of the Treasury shall be required for the making or modification of a determination of any such amount as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (7) above.

(9) Neither section 343 of the Taxes Act 1988 (company reconstructions without change of ownership) nor section 266 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (election where predecessor and successor are connected persons) shall have effect by virtue of a relevant transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies.

(10) Except as provided by this paragraph, a relevant transfer in relation to which this paragraph applies shall be taken for the purposes of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 not to give rise to—

(a) any writing-down allowances, balancing allowances or balancing charges under Chapter 5 of Part 2 of that Act (plant and machinery allowances and charges),

(b) any disposal value being treated as received for the purposes of that Chapter,

(d) any writing-down allowances, balancing allowances or balancing charges under Part 3 of that Act (industrial buildings allowances).

Leases and easements

11

(1) This paragraph applies where by or under, or otherwise in connection with, a PPP agreement a relevant body—

(a) enters into an agreement to grant to a company a lease of, or an easement over, land which consists of or includes the whole or any part of a relevant site; or

(b) grants such a lease or easement to a company.

(2) In this paragraph “relevant site” means—

(a) an industrial building or structure, within the meaning of Part 3 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001; or

(b) land which, in relation to any fixture, within the meaning of Chapter 14 of Part 2 of that Act, is the relevant land for the purposes of that Chapter.

(3) Where this paragraph applies, the relevant body shall be deemed for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts to have such an interest in the relevant site in question as is sufficient for the agreement or grant to confer an appropriate interest on the company to which the lease or easement is, or is to be, granted (and the agreement or grant shall accordingly be taken for those purposes to confer such an interest).

(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) above, an “appropriate interest”—

(a) in the case of a relevant site falling within sub-paragraph (2)(a) above, is such an interest in the industrial building or structure in question as is, or is capable of being, for the purposes of Part 3 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 the relevant interest (within the meaning of that Part) in relation to capital expenditure incurred by the company; or

(b) in the case of a relevant site falling within sub-paragraph (2)(b) above, is such an interest in the land in question as constitutes for the purposes of Chapter 14 of Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 an interest in land (within the meaning of that Chapter) by virtue of paragraph (c) or (d), as the case may be, of section 175(1) of that Act.

(5) In this paragraph—

(a) any reference to granting a lease or easement includes a reference to purporting to do so; and

(b) any reference to a grant, or to a lease or easement, shall be construed accordingly.

(6) In this paragraph “lease” includes underlease.

(a) to a relevant body, or

(b) to such other body or person as a relevant body may specify in accordance with the PPP agreement,

the disposal constituted by that transfer shall be deemed for the purposes of that Part to be for a nil consideration, notwithstanding item 7 in the Table in section 61(2) of that Act.

Sale and leaseback

13

(1) Neither section 838 or 839 (limitation on tax reliefs) nor section 865 (leased trading assets: tax deduction not to exceed commercial rent) of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, nor any of sections 681AD, 681AE and 681CC of the Income Tax Act 2007 (which make corresponding provision), shall apply to any payment which falls to made under a PPP agreement.

252A

(1) It shall be the duty of the Committee, so far as it appears to it expedient from time to time to do so—

(a) to keep under review matters affecting the interests of the public in relation to railway passenger services provided wholly or partly within the London railway area;

(b) to keep under review matters affecting the provision of station services within that area;

(c) to make representations to, and to consult, such persons as it thinks appropriate about the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b); and

(d) to co-operate with other bodies representing the interests of users of public passenger transport services provided wholly or partly within that area.

(2) In this section—

(a) references to the London railway area are references to the area for which the Committee fell, immediately before the repeal of section 2 of the Railways Act 1993 (Rail Passengers' Committees), to be treated as the Rail Passengers' Committee for the purposes specified in subsection (4) of that section;

(b) references to railway passenger services include references to bus substitution services; and

(c) subject to that, expressions used in this section and in Part 1 of the Railways Act 1993 have the same meanings in this section as in that Part.

252B

(1) It shall be the duty of the Committee to investigate any matter relating to a relevant railway matter if—

(a) it is the subject of a representation made to the Committee by a user or potential user of railway passenger services;

(b) it is referred to the Committee by the Secretary of State, the Office of Rail and Road, the Passengers’ Council, the London Assembly or Transport for London; or

(2) A matter is a relevant railway matter for the purposes of subsection (1) if it relates to—

(a) the provision of railway passenger services wholly or partly within the London railway area; or

(b) the provision of station services within that area in a case in which the operator of the station is authorised by a licence under Part 1 of the Railways Act 1993.

(3) The Secretary of State may also refer the following matters to the Committee for the purpose only of requiring the Committee to prepare a report on them—

(a) matters relating to the quality of railway passenger services provided wholly or partly within the London railway area; and

(b) matters relating to the quality of station services provided in that area.

(4) The Committee must also assist the Secretary of State, to such extent and in such manner as he may require, in ascertaining whether the franchise operator in the case of a particular franchise agreement is attaining the standards set for the provision of the franchised services.

(5) The Committee is not required to investigate a matter in a case falling within subsection (1)(a) if it appears to the Committee that the representation is frivolous or vexatious.

(6) Subsection (2) of section 252A applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of that section.

252C

(1) On investigating a matter under section 252B the Committee must, if it considers it appropriate to do so—

(a) in every case, make appropriate representations to the person providing the service;

(b) in the case of a service provided under a franchise agreement by a person other than the franchisee, make appropriate representations to the franchisee; and

(c) in the case of a secured service (within the meaning of Part 4 of the Railways Act 2005), make appropriate representations to the Secretary of State.

(2) In subsection (1) “appropriate representations” means representations about—

(a) any matter appearing to the Committee to be relevant to the subject-matter of the investigation; and

(b) any other matter to which a matter so appearing relates.

(3) Subject to subsection (4), where the Committee—

(a) having made representations under subsection (1), is of the opinion that it is unable to obtain a satisfactory resolution by that means,

(b) on investigating a matter, has reason for believing that the holder of a licence under Part 1 of the Railways Act 1993 is contravening a condition of the licence, or is likely to do so, or

(c) on investigating a matter, has reason for believing that a franchisee in relation to a franchise agreement is contravening the provisions of the agreement, or is likely to do so,

the Committee must refer the matter to the Secretary of State (or if he referred it to the Committee, back to him) with a view to his exercising such of his powers as he considers appropriate in the circumstances of the case.

(4) Subsection (3) does not apply in a case where representations under subsection (2) have been made to the Secretary of State.

(5) If the Secretary of State considers that it would be more appropriate for a matter referred to him by the Committee under subsection (3) to be referred to the Office of Rail and Road, he must—

(a) refer it to that Office, or

(b) if it was referred to the Committee by that Office, refer it back to that Office,

with a view to that Office exercising such of its powers as it considers appropriate in the circumstances of the case.

(6) The Committee must not—

(a) include a proposal for the taking of any steps in representations made by it under this section, or

(b) make a reference under this section to the Secretary of State by reason only of the failure of a person to take any steps,

unless the test in subsection (7) is satisfied.

(7) That test is satisfied if, on the basis of the information available to the Committee, it considers that, balancing each of the following against the other—

(a) the costs of taking the steps, and

(b) the benefits that will be enjoyed by persons in consequence of the taking of those steps,

the expenditure involved represents good value for money.

(8) In this section “franchise agreement” and “franchisee” have the same meanings as in Part 1 of the Railways Act 1993.

(2) The Committee must not include a proposal for the taking of any steps in a report prepared by it under this section unless, on the basis of the information available to it, it considers that, balancing each of the following against the other—

(a) the costs of taking those steps, and

(b) the benefits that will be enjoyed by persons in consequence of the taking of those steps,

the expenditure involved represents good value for money.

(3) The Committee—
