     (7) The Treasury may by regulations make further provision as to the circumstances in which a building or structure or part of a building or structure is, or is not, a qualifying building.
 
360D    Meaning of "qualifying business premises"

 CHAPTER 4
 THE RELEVANT INTEREST IN THE QUALIFYING BUILDING
360E    General rule as to what is the relevant interest
 
    (1) The relevant interest in a qualifying building in relation to any qualifying expenditure is the interest in the qualifying building to which the person who incurred the qualifying expenditure was entitled when it was incurred.
 
     (2) Subsection (1) is subject to the following provisions of this Chapter and to section 360Z3 (provisions applying on termination of lease).
 
     (3) If-
 
 
    (a) the person who incurred the qualifying expenditure was entitled to more than one interest in the qualifying building when the expenditure was incurred, and
 
    (b) one of those interests was reversionary on all the others,
 the reversionary interest is the relevant interest in the qualifying building.
 
     (4) An interest does not cease to be the relevant interest merely because of the creation of a lease or other interest to which that interest is subject.
 
     (5) If-
 
 
    (a) the relevant interest is a leasehold interest, and
 
    (b) that interest is extinguished on the person entitled to it acquiring the interest which is reversionary on it,
 the interest into which the leasehold interest merges becomes the relevant interest when the leasehold interest is extinguished.
 
360F    Interest acquired on completion of conversion
 
For the purposes of determining the relevant interest in a qualifying building, a person who-
 
 
    (a) incurs expenditure on the conversion of a qualifying building into qualifying business premises, and
 
    (b) is entitled to an interest in the qualifying building on or as a result of the completion of the conversion,
 is treated as having had that interest when the expenditure was incurred.

360G    Initial allowances
 
    (1) A person who has incurred qualifying expenditure in respect of any qualifying building is entitled to an initial allowance in respect of the expenditure.

     (4) The initial allowance is made for the chargeable period in which the qualifying expenditure is incurred.
 
360H    Premises not qualifying business premises or relevant interest sold before premises first used or let
 
    (1) No initial allowance is to be made under section 360G if, at the relevant time, the qualifying building does not constitute qualifying business premises.
 
     (2) An initial allowance which has been made in respect of a qualifying building which is to be qualifying business premises is to be withdrawn if-
 
 
    (a) the qualifying building does not constitute qualifying business premises at the relevant time, or
 
    (b) the person to whom the allowance was made has sold the relevant interest in the qualifying building before the relevant time.
     (3) All such assessments and adjustments of assessments are to be made as are necessary to give effect to this section.
 
     (4) In this section "the relevant time" means the time when the premises are first used by the person with the relevant interest or, if they are not so used, the time when they are first suitable for letting for either of the purposes mentioned in section 360D(1)(b).
 
 CHAPTER 6
 WRITING-DOWN ALLOWANCES
360I    Entitlement to writing-down allowances
 
    (1) A person is entitled to a writing-down allowance for a chargeable period if he has incurred qualifying expenditure in respect of a qualifying building and, at the end of the chargeable period-
 
 
    (a) the person is entitled to the relevant interest in the qualifying building,
 
    (b) the person has not granted a long lease of the qualifying building out of the relevant interest in consideration of the payment of a capital sum, and
 
    (c) the qualifying building constitutes qualifying business premises.
     (2) In subsection (1)(b) "long lease" means a lease the duration of which exceeds 50 years.
 
     (3) Whether the duration of a lease exceeds 50 years is to be determined-
 
 
    (a) in accordance with section 303 of ITTOIA 2005, and
 
    (b) without regard to section 360Z3(3) of this Act (new lease granted as a result of the exercise of an option treated as continuation of old lease).
     (4) A person claiming a writing-down allowance may require the allowance to be reduced to a specified amount.
 
360J    Amount of allowance
 
    (1) The writing-down allowance for a chargeable period is 25% of the qualifying expenditure.
 
     (2) The allowance is proportionately increased or reduced if the chargeable period is more or less than a year.
 
     (3) The amount of the writing-down allowance for a chargeable period is limited to the residue of qualifying expenditure.

The residue of qualifying expenditure is the qualifying expenditure that has not yet been written off in accordance with Chapter 9.
 
 CHAPTER 7
 GRANTS IN RESPECT OF QUALIFYING EXPENDITURE
360L    Grants affecting entitlement to allowances

     (4) If a relevant grant or relevant payment towards the expenditure is made after the making of an initial allowance or a writing-down allowance, the allowance is to be withdrawn to that extent.
 
     (5) If the amount of the relevant grant or relevant payment is repaid by the grantee to the grantor, in whole or in part, the grant or payment is treated, to that extent, as never having been made.
 
     (6) All such assessments and adjustments of assessments are to be made as are necessary to give effect to subsection (4) or (5).
 
     (7) Any such assessment or adjustment is not out of time if it is made within 3 years of the end of the chargeable period in which the grant, payment or adjustment was made.

 CHAPTER 11
 SUPPLEMENTARY PROVISIONS
360Z    Giving effect to allowances and charges: trades
 
    (1) An allowance or charge to which a person is entitled or liable under this Part is to be given effect in calculating the profits of that person's trade, by treating-
 
 
    (a) the allowance as an expense of the trade, and
 
    (b) the charge as a receipt of the trade.
     (2) In the case of a person who-
 
 
    (a) is entitled to an allowance or liable to a charge in respect of a qualifying building, and
 
    (b) occupies that building in the course of a profession or vocation,
 the references in subsection (1) to a trade are to be read as references to the profession or vocation.
 
     (3) Subsection (1) is subject to the following provisions of this Chapter.
 
360Z1    Giving effect to allowances and charges: lessors and licensees
 
    (1) This section applies if-

    (b) the charge were a receipt of that business.
360Z2    Apportionment of sums partly referable to non-qualifying assets

     (4) If on the termination the lessor pays a sum to the lessee in respect of business premises comprised in the lease, the lease is treated as if it had come to an end by surrender in consideration of the payment.
 
     (5) If on the termination-
 
 
    (a) another lease is granted to a different lessee, and
 
    (b) in connection with the transaction that lessee pays a sum to the person who was the lessee under the first lease,
 the two leases are to be treated as if they were the same lease which had been assigned by the lessee under the first lease to the lessee under the second lease in consideration of the payment.
