CIRD63250 | Land Remediation Relief: Subcontractors: Payments to an unconnected sub-contractor - on or before 31 March 2009

This section applies to expenditure incurred on or before 31 March 2009.

FA01/SCH22/PARA9

FA01/SCH22/PARA11

A company incurs sub-contracted land remediation expenditure when it makes a payment to another person for relevant land remediation that it has contracted out to that person.

If the company and the sub-contractor are not connected persons, see CIRD63255, the whole of the subcontractor payment is treated as qualifying expenditure on sub-contracted land remediation.

The expenditure is not incurred for the purposes of Land Remediation Relief until the company makes the payment.

Example:

A Ltd contracts for an independent party, D Ltd, to remove dangerous asbestos from its offices. The work is carried out in its accounting period ended 31 December 2006. At the year end the bill has been received but only a deposit of £5000 has been paid. The balance of £20,000 is paid in January 2007.

For the purposes of Land Remediation Relief, A Ltd incurs the £20,000 in its accounting period ended 31 December 2007. Therefore A Ltd claims Land Remediation Relief in the accounting period ended 31 December 2007.
