TGCA92\S195
TCGA92\S195 provides that, on a disposal of a licence, certain exploration or appraisal expenditure incurred by the vendor is treated as enhancement expenditure within TCGA92\S38(1)(b).
TCGA92\S195 will allow a deduction in computing chargeable gains where there has been a recovery of research and development allowances given on exploration or appraisal costs, provided these are capital costs falling within CAA01\S441 and disposal values are within the requirements of CAA01\S443.and CAA01\S555.
The rules apply retrospectively to any disposal of a UK or UK Continental Shelf licence (or licence interest) whenever made.
The rules also apply retrospectively to overseas licences. TGCA92\S196 widens the meaning of licence in TGCA92\S195 to include 바카라 사이트渇oreign oil concession바카라 사이트�.
