(2)Where there are two or more linked transactions with the same effective date, the purchaser, or all of the purchasers if there is more than one, may make a single land transaction return as if all of those transactions that are notifiable were a single notifiable transaction.

(3)Where two or more purchasers make a single return in respect of linked transactions, section 103 (joint purchasers) applies as if—

(a)the transactions in question were a single transaction, and

(b)those purchasers were purchasers acting jointly.
