Question:Which of the following will be partially subject to tax as property income?
A. The grant of a 60 year lease from a freehold.
B. The assignment of a 70 year lease.
C. The assignment of a 10 year lease.
D. The grant of a 10 year lease from a freehold.
The correct answer is: The grant of a 10 year lease from a freehold.
解析:The premium, less 2% of the premium for each complete year of the lease except the first is assessed as property income on the grant of a short lease (a lease of 50 years or less).
There are no property income implications on the assignment of a lease, nor on the grant of a lease of more than 50 years.
