Calculation of tax
I128Amount of tax chargeable: linked transactions
1
Where a chargeable transaction is one of a number of linked transactions, the amount of tax chargeable in respect of the transaction is to be determined as follows.
Step 1 Calculate the tax which would be chargeable in accordance with section 27(1), if the chargeable consideration for the transaction were the total consideration.
Step 2 Divide the chargeable consideration for the transaction by the total consideration.
Step 3 Multiply the amount arrived at under Step 1 by the fraction arrived at under Step 2. The result is the amount of tax chargeable.
2
In subsection (1), the ““total consideration”” is the total of the chargeable consideration for all the linked transactions (not including any chargeable consideration which is rent).
3
Where the whole or part of the chargeable consideration for a linked transaction is rent this section does not apply for the purposes of calculating the amount of any tax chargeable in respect of the rent; instead see—
