About this statute

This provision sets rules for taxing development gains and losses on certain disposals of UK land interests, including share and settlement cases, and gives a short deadline to claim relief for development losses. This provision lists land uses and development-related cases that are treated in a particular way, including rebuilding, agriculture or forestry use, advertisements, car parking, and certain reuse of buildings or land. The provision mainly adjusts tax treatment for development gains and gives the inspector powers to require notices and information about relevant persons and land interests. This provision changes how several tax references and stamp duty rules are read, gives the Board and the Commissioners certain regulation/arrangement powers, and sets some retrospective and territorial limits.
