PART IX.

Taxation of Rents and certain other Payments: Income Tax and Sur-Tax.

Interpretation (Part IX).

83. —(1) In this Part of this Act, save where the context otherwise requires—

easement” includes any right, privilege or benefit in, over or derived from premises;

lease” includes an agreement for a lease and any tenancy, but does not include a mortgage, and “lessee” and “lessor” shall be construed accordingly, and “lessee” and “lessor” include, respectively, the successors in title of a lessee or a lessor;

long lease” means a lease granted for a term exceeding fifty years;

premises” means any lands, tenements or hereditaments in the State;

premium” includes any like sum, whether payable to the immediate or a superior lessor;

rent” includes anything in the nature of rent and any payment made by the lessee to defray the cost of work of maintenance of or repairs to the premises, not being work required by the lease to be carried out by the lessee;

short lease” means a lease granted for a term not exceeding fifty years;

unit of valuation” means any lands, tenements or hereditaments valued under the Valuation Acts as a unit.

(2) In ascertaining, for the purposes of the definitions of “long lease” and “short lease” contained in the foregoing subsection, the duration of a lease, the following provisions shall have effect :

(a) where the terms of the lease include provision for the determination thereof by notice given either by the lessor or by the lessee, the lease shall not be treated as granted for a term longer than one ending at the earliest date on which it could be determined by notice;

(b) where any of the terms of the lease (whether relating to forfeiture or to any other matter) or any other circumstance render it unlikely that the lease will continue beyond a date falling before the expiration of the term of the lease, the lease shall not be treated as having been granted for a term longer than one ending on that date.

(3) Where the estate or interest of any lessor of any premises is the subject of a mortgage and either the mortgagee is in possession or the rents and profits are being received by a receiver appointed by or on the application of the mortgagee, that estate or interest shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Part of this Act, to be vested in the mortgagee, and references to a lessor shall be construed accordingly; but the amount of the liability to tax of any such mortgagee shall be computed as if the mortgagor was still in possession or, as the case may be, no receiver had been appointed, and as if it were the amount of the liability of the mortgagor that was being computed.

Taxation of rents under short leases.

84. —(1) The profits or gains arising from any rent in respect of any premises under a short lease shall, to the extent provided for by this Part of this Act, be deemed, for all the purposes of the Income Tax Acts, to be annual profits or gains within Schedule D and the lessor shall be chargeable in respect thereof under Case VI of that Schedule.

(2) Notwithstanding anything in Rule 2 of the Rules applicable to the said Case VI, income tax in respect of profits or gains chargeable by virtue of this section shall in all cases be computed on the full amount of the profits or gains of the year of assessment.

(3) Subject to the subsequent provisions of this Part of this Act, the amount of the profits or gains to be charged under this section shall be arrived at by making from any rent to which the lessor becomes entitled in the year of assessment the deductions authorised by the next following subsection.

(4) The deductions authorised by this subsection are deductions by reference to any or all of the following matters:

(a) the amount, if any, on which the lessor is liable to pay, by deduction or otherwise, income tax under Schedule A for the year of assessment in respect of the premises;

(b) the excess, if any, of the amount of any rent payable by the lessor in respect of the premises, or in respect of a portion thereof, under a short lease over the amount referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph or, as the case may be, the portion of the latter amount which is referable to the portion of the premises in respect of which the rent is payable by the lessor;

(c) any sums borne by the lessor, in accordance with the conditions of the lease, in respect of county rate, municipal rate or other rate, whether such sums are by law charged upon him or upon the lessee;

(d) the cost to the lessor of any services rendered or goods provided by him, otherwise than by way of maintenance or repairs, being services or goods which he is legally bound under the lease to render or provide but in respect of which he receives no separate consideration;

(e) the cost of maintenance, repairs, insurance and management of the premises in so far as such cost is, by reason of obligations imposed by the lease, borne by the lessor,

and the amount of the deduction to be made by reference to each of the foregoing matters shall be the amount which would fall to be so made in computing profits or gains under the provisions applicable to Case I of Schedule D if it were enacted that the receipt of rent under a short lease should be deemed to be a trade carried on during the currency of the lease by the lessor for the time being and that the premises comprised in the lease should be deemed to be occupied for the purposes of that trade.

For the purposes of this subsection the currency of a lease shall be deemed to include a period, immediately following its termination, during which the lessor, immediately before the termination, was not in occupation of the premises or any part thereof, but was entitled to possession thereof, if at the end of that period the premises have become subject to another short lease granted by him.

(5) Where a lessor is entitled to rent in respect of premises (hereafter in this subsection referred to as the said premises) under a short lease and—

(a) the said premises do not comprise the whole of a unit of valuation or the whole of two or more such units, or

(b) a rent is payable by the lessor under a short lease in respect of premises which comprise the whole or a part of the said premises and other premises,

the inspector of taxes shall make, according to the best of his knowledge and judgment, any appropriate apportionment of rateable valuation or of rent payable by the lessor in determining the amount of any deduction under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of the immediately preceding subsection.

(6) An apportionment made under subsection (5) of this section may be amended by the Special Commissioners, or by the Circuit Judge, on the hearing, or the re-hearing, of an appeal against an assessment made on the basis of such apportionment; but, on the hearing, or the re-hearing, of any such appeal, a certificate of the Commissioner of Valuation, tendered by either party to the appeal and certifying, as regards premises valued under the Valuation Acts as a unit, the amount of the rateable valuation of the premises attributable to any part of the premises, shall be conclusive as to the amount so attributable.

Additional deductions in certain cases.

85. —(1) In this section—

excepted profits or gains” means profits or gains arising from rent under a short lease in respect of premises which comprise the whole of what was, on the 6th day of April, 1963, a unit of valuation where, for the year of assessment, all the following conditions are satisfied, that is to say:

(a) the premises are premises to which subsection (2) of this section applies;

(b) the lease imposes no obligation on the lessee to maintain or repair the fabric or exterior of any building or to contribute to the cost of such maintenance or repairs, and

(c) the rent to which the lessor is entitled or, in a case in which a deduction is allowable under paragraph (c) of subsection (4) of section 84 of this Act in arriving at the amount of the profits or gains for the purpose of assessment under Case VI of Schedule D, the said rent reduced by the deduction allowable as aforesaid, does not exceed fifty-two pounds per annum;

profit rent” means, in relation to any premises in respect of which a lessor is, in a year of assessment, entitled to rent under a short lease, the amount (hereafter in this definition referred to as the assessable amount) on which, but for the provisions of the following subsections of this section, the lessor would have been chargeable for the year of assessment under Case VI of Schedule D, in respect of profits or gains arising from the said rent, increased by any deduction allowed under paragraph (a) of subsection (4) of section 84 of this Act in arriving at the assessable amount and reduced by the amount, if any, by which any deduction allowed under paragraph (b) of the said subsection (4) in arriving at the assessable amount falls short of the deduction which would have been so allowable if—

(i) no deduction had been allowable under the said paragraph (a), and

(ii) the said paragraph (b) and subsection (5) of the said section 84 applied to any payment to which section 94 of this Act applies as they apply to any rent payable under a short lease.

(2) (a) This subsection applies to any premises which is shown to the satisfaction of the Revenue Commissioners (or, on appeal, to the satisfaction of the Special Commissioners) to be in the year of assessment a controlled dwelling within the meaning of the Rent Restrictions Act, 1960 .

(b) Where for any year of assessment a person is chargeable under Case VI of Schedule D in respect of profits or gains arising from any rent in respect of any premises to which this subsection applies under a short lease, the amount on which he would, apart from this subsection, be so chargeable shall be reduced by an amount equal to two-fifths of the profit rent:

Provided that, for any year of assessment, the aggregate of all amounts by which profits or gains, other than excepted profits or gains, arising to any person are reduced by virtue of this paragraph shall not exceed two hundred pounds.

(3) (a) This subsection applies to any premises which, in the year of assessment—

(i) is not a premises to which the immediately preceding subsection applies, and

(ii) is not occupied for the purposes of any trade, profession or vocation.

For the purposes of this paragraph premises shall not be deemed to be occupied for the purposes of a trade, profession or vocation where the premises are mainly occupied for residential purposes and no part thereof is occupied for the purposes of a trade but a part thereof is occupied for the purposes of a profession or vocation.

(b) Where, for any of the years of assessment 1963-64, 1964-65 and 1965-66, a person is chargeable under Case VI of Schedule D in respect of profits or gains arising from any rent in respect of any premises to which this subsection applies under a short lease, the amount on which he would, apart from this subsection, be so chargeable shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-fifth of the profit rent:

Provided that, for any year of assessment, the aggregate of all amounts by which profits or gains arising to any person are reduced by virtue of this paragraph shall not exceed one hundred pounds.

(4) Where in any year of assessment both subsection (2) and subsection (3) of this section have effect in relation to profits or gains arising to any person, the aggregate of all amounts by which such profits or gains, other than excepted profits or gains, are reduced, whether by virtue of the said subsection (2) or by virtue of the said subsection (3), shall not exceed two hundred pounds.

(5) Each of the references, in the provisos to paragraph (b) of subsection (2) and paragraph (b) of subsection (3) and in subsection (4) of this section, to profits or gains arising to any person shall be deemed to include, in the case of an individual, references to profits or gains arising to the wife or husband of the individual.

In this and the following subsection “wife” means a married woman who under subsection (1) of section 12 of the Finance Act, 1958 , is to be treated as living with her husband, and “husband” has a corresponding meaning.

(6) (a) Where in any year of assessment profits or gains arise to both a husband and a wife from rents in respect of premises to which either subsection (2) or subsection (3) of this section applies and the aggregate (hereafter in this subsection referred to as the gross aggregate) of all amounts by which the said profits or gains would have fallen to be reduced under this section, if the provisos to paragraph (b) of subsection (2) and to paragraph (b) of subsection (3) and subsection (4) (hereafter in this subsection referred to as the limiting provisions) had been omitted from this section, exceeds what, in consequence of the operation of any one or more of the limiting provisions is the aggregate (hereafter in this subsection referred to as the net aggregate) of all amounts by which the said profits or gains may be reduced, the aggregate of all amounts by which the profits or gains arising to either spouse are reduced shall not exceed the sum which bears to the net aggregate the same proportion as the aggregate of all amounts by which, but for the limiting provisions, the profits or gains arising to that spouse would have fallen to be reduced bears to the gross aggregate.

(b) The foregoing paragraph shall not apply where, in a year of assessment, profits or gains arise to one only of the spouses from rent in respect of premises to which subsection (3) of this section applies and subsection (4) thereof does not operate.

(c) Any reference in this subsection to profits or gains does not include a reference to excepted profits or gains.

Treatment of premiums, etc., as rent.

86. —(1) Where the payment of any premium is required under a lease, or otherwise under the terms subject to which a lease is granted, and the lease is a short lease, the lessor shall be treated for the purposes of section 84 of this Act as becoming entitled, when the lease is granted, to an amount by way of rent (in addition to any actual rent) equal to the amount of the premium reduced by one-fiftieth of that amount for each complete period of twelve months, other than the first, comprised in the term of the lease.

(2) Where the terms subject to which a lease of any premises is granted impose on the lessee an obligation to carry out any work on the premises, the lease shall be deemed for the purposes of this section to have required the payment of a premium to the lessor (in addition to any other premium) of an amount equal to the amount by which the value of the lessor's estate or interest, immediately after the commencement of the lease, falls short of what its then value would have been if the work had been carried out, but otherwise than at the expense of the lessee, and the rent were increased accordingly:

Provided that this subsection shall not apply in so far as the obligation requires the carrying out of work payment for which would, if the lessor and not the lessee were obliged to carry it out, be deductible from the rent under subsection (4) of section 84 of this Act.

(3) Where a payment such as is mentioned in subsection (1) of this section is due to a person other than the lessor, the said subsection (1) shall not apply in relation to that payment, but any amount which would have fallen to be treated as rent if the payment had been due to the lessor shall be treated as an annual profit or gain of that other person and chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D.

(4) (a) If an amount of premium by reference to which a person is chargeable to tax by virtue of subsection (1) or subsection (3) of this section is payable by instalments, the following provisions shall, where this subsection applies, have effect in lieu of the said subsection (1) or, as as the case may be, the said subsection (3):

(i) each such instalment payable to the lessor for the time being shall be treated for the purposes of section 84 of this Act as if it were rent payable under the lease, and

(ii) each such instalment payable to a person who is not a lessor shall be treated as an annual profit or gain of that person and chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D.

(b) This subsection applies where the person chargeable by virtue of subsection (1) or subsection (3) of this section by notice in writing, given to the inspector of taxes before the expiration of the year of assessment following that in which he becomes entitled to the first instalment of premium, elects that it shall apply and where such notice of election is given all such additional assessments, alterations of assessments and repayments of tax shall be made as may be necessary.

(5) For the purposes of this section any sum, other than rent, paid on or in connection with the granting of a lease shall be presumed to have been paid by way of premium except in so far as other sufficient consideration for the payment is shown to have been given.

(6) Where the duration of a lease falls to be ascertained for the purposes of this section after a date on which the lease has for any reason come to an end, the duration shall, notwithstanding anything in subsection (2) of section 83 of this Act, be taken to have extended from its commencement to that date; and where the duration falls to be ascertained for the said purposes at a time when the lease is subsisting, the provisions of the said subsection (2) shall be applied in accordance with the circumstances obtaining at that time.

Exclusion of certain lettings.

87. —Neither section 84 nor section 90 of this Act shall have effect in relation to a case in which the rent reserved under a lease (including, where the lease was granted on or after the 6th day of April, 1963, an appropriate sum in respect of any premium payable under the lease) is insufficient, taking one year with another, to defray the cost to the lessor of fulfilling his obligations under the lease and of meeting any expense of maintenance, repairs, insurance and management of the premises subject to the lease which fall to be borne by him, and for this purpose the lessor shall be deemed to bear annually an expense of management (in addition to any actual expense) equal to the amount on which he is liable to bear tax under Schedule A in respect of the premises.

Taxation of certain payments in respect of easements.

88. —Where, in any year of assessment, any person is entitled to any payment, other than a payment to which section 94 of this Act applies, in respect of any easement in relation to any premises, not being premises of the whole of which he is, throughout the period in respect of which the payment is due, the sole occupier for the purposes of Schedule A, the payment shall be treated for the purposes of section 84 of this Act as if it were rent payable in respect of premises under a short lease, and the provisions of that section shall with the necessary adaptations apply accordingly.

Provisions as to assessment.

89. —(1) Where for any year of assessment profits or gains chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this Part of this Act arise to any person from two or more sources, the several amounts of profits or gains so chargeable may be assessed in one assessment.

(2) Where an assessment, in respect of profits or gains chargeable as aforesaid for any year of assessment, is made in that year, whether pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection or otherwise—

(a) it shall be made on the basis that all sources of profits or gains and all facts relevant to the computation of profits or gains are the same as for the last preceding year of assessment, and

(b) tax shall be leviable accordingly, but any necessary adjustments shall be made after the end of the year, whether by way of additional assessment, repayment of tax or otherwise, to secure that tax is charged on the profits or gains of the year of assessment.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (a) of the foregoing subsection, any amounts which but for section 86 of this Act would not be taken into account in the computation of profits or gains shall be disregarded.

Relief in respect of losses.

90. —Where for any year of assessment the aggregate amount of the deductions authorised, in relation to any short lease, by subsection (4) of section 84 of this Act exceeds the amount of rent to which the lessor becomes entitled in the year, the excess shall be deemed to be such a loss as is mentioned in section 2 of the Finance Act, 1945 , and the provisions of that section shall apply accordingly.

Relief for amount not received.

91. —(1) Where on a claim in that behalf a lessor proves that he has not received an amount which he was entitled to receive in relation to a short lease and—

(a) if the non-receipt of the said amount was attributable to the default of the person by whom it was payable, that the said amount is irrecoverable, or

(b) if he has waived payment of the said amount, that the waiver was made without consideration and was reasonably made in order to avoid hardship,

the lessor shall be treated for the purposes of this Part of this Act as if he had not been entitled to receive the said amount and his liability to tax for the year of assessment in which he became entitled to receive the said amount and for any subsequent year shall be adjusted, by repayment or otherwise, as the circumstances of the case may require; but if all or any of the said amount is subsequently received, the lessor's liability to tax for all relevant years of assessment shall be appropriately re-adjusted by additional assessment or otherwise.

(2) Any claim to repayment under this section shall be made to, and determined by, the inspector of taxes; but any person aggrieved by any determination of the inspector of taxes on any such claim may, on giving notice in writing to the said inspector within twenty-one days after notification to him of the determination, appeal to the Special Commissioners.

(3) The Special Commissioners shall hear and determine an appeal to them under subsection (2) of this section as if it were an appeal against an assessment to income tax, and the provisions of the Income Tax Acts relating to the re-hearing of an appeal or the statement of a case for the opinion of the High Court on a point of law, shall, with the necessary modifications, apply accordingly.

Deduction by reference to premium paid in the computation of profits for purposes of Cases I and II of Schedule D.

92. —Where—

(a) in any period (hereafter in this section referred to as the said period) a person carrying on a trade, profession or vocation is the lessee of premises wholly or partly occupied by him for the purposes thereof, and

(b) any amount has become chargeable to tax under subsection (1), (2) or (3) of section 86 of this Act, or would have become so chargeable but for subsection (4) of that section, in respect of a premium paid, or deemed to have been paid, to the lessor (whether the lessee concerned was the person carrying on the trade, profession or vocation or his predecessor in title),

the computation, for the purpose of assessment under Case I or Case II of Schedule D, of the profits or gains of the trade, profession or vocation for the said period shall be made as if the person by whom it is carried on had paid in respect of the premises an amount of rent (in addition to any rent actually paid) equal to the amount chargeable as aforesaid (or where the said person is lessee under the lease for a part only of the said period, a proportionate part of that amount) multiplied by the fraction of which the numerator is the number of days in the said period and the denominator is the number of days in the duration of the lease as determined for the purposes of the relevant subsection of the said section 86.

Deductions by reference to premiums paid in computation of profits for purposes of Part IX.

93. —(1) Where any amount has become chargeable under subsection (1), (2) or (3) of section 86 of this Act, or would have become so chargeable but for subsection (4) of that section, in respect of a premium paid or deemed to have been paid under the terms subject to which a lease is granted, then, subject to the provisions of the following subsections of this section, the lessee, whether or not he is the original lessee, shall be deemed for the purposes of subsection (4) of section 84 of this Act to have paid by way of rent under the lease (in addition to any rent actually paid) in each year of assessment during which he is the lessee a payment which bears to the said amount (hereafter in this section referred to as the amount chargeable on the superior lease) the same proportion as the length of the period within that year during which he was the lessee bears to the length of the term of the lease.

(2) Where—

(a) any amount has, or would have, become chargeable as mentioned in the immediately preceding subsection, and

(b) the lessee would, apart from this subsection, have been chargeable to tax under the said section 86 on any amount in respect of premium paid, or deemed to have been paid, to him on a sub-lease of all or any part of the premises comprised in the lease, with or without other premises,

the amount on which he is so chargeable shall, where no claim is made by him under subsection (4) of the said section 86, be the excess (if any) of the amount on which he would have been chargeable as aforesaid over the appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable on the superior lease, or, if the premises comprised in the lease and sub-lease respectively are not co-extensive, the appropriate fraction of that amount proportionately adjusted.

(3) Where subsection (2) of this section has effect, subsection (1) shall apply for the year of assessment for which the lessee would have been chargeable as aforesaid and subsequent years only if the said appropriate fraction exceeds the amount on which the lessee would have been so chargeable, and shall then apply as if the amount chargeable on the superior lease had been equal to the excess:

Provided that where part only of the premises comprised in the lease is comprised in the sub-lease, the said subsection (1) and this subsection shall be applied separately in relation to that part of the premises and to the remainder of those premises, but as if for any reference to the amount chargeable on the superior lease there were substituted a reference to that amount proportionately adjusted.

(4) For the purposes of this section the appropriate fraction of the amount chargeable on the superior lease is the sum which bears to that amount the same proportion as the term of the sub-lease bears to the term of the lease.

(5) Any proportionate adjustment referred to in this section shall be made by the inspector of taxes according to the best of his knowledge and judgment, and any such adjustment so made may be amended by the Special Commissioners, or by the Circuit Judge, on the hearing, or the re-hearing, of an appeal against an assessment made on the basis of the adjustment.

Taxation of rents under long leases and certain other payments.

94. —(1) This section applies to the following payments:

(a) any rent payable in respect of any premises the property in which is not separately assessed and charged under Schedule A, or in respect of any easement, where the premises or easement is used, occupied or enjoyed in connection with any of the concerns the profits of which are chargeable to tax under Case I of Schedule D by virtue of section 8 of the Finance Act, 1929 ,

(b) any rent payable in respect of any premises, other than premises used, occupied or enjoyed as aforesaid, under a long lease, and

(c) any yearly interest, annuity, rentcharge, fee farm rent or other annual payment reserved in respect of, or charged on or issuing out of, any premises, not being a rent payable under a lease or in respect of premises used, occupied or enjoyed as mentioned in paragraph (a) of this subsection or such a rentcharge as is mentioned in Rule 6 of No. VIII of Schedule A,

being a payment falling due on or after the 6th day of April, 1963.

In paragraph (a) of this subsection the reference to rent shall be deemed to include a reference to a toll, duty, royalty or annual or periodical payment in the nature of rent, whether payable in money or money's worth or otherwise.

(2) Neither Rule 1 nor Rule 4 of No. VIII of Schedule A shall have effect in relation to any payment to which this section applies.

(3) Any payment to which this section applies shall—

(a) so far as it does not fall within any other Case of Schedule D, be charged with tax under Case VI of that Schedule, and

(b) be treated, for the purposes of paragraph (m) of Rule 3 of the Rules applicable to Cases I and II of Schedule D and of Rules 19 and 21 of the General Rules, as if it were a royalty paid in respect of the user of a patent:

Provided that where such a rent as is mentioned in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of this section is rendered in produce of the concern, this subsection shall have effect as if paragraph (b) of this subsection were omitted; and the value of the produce so rendered shall be taken to be the amount of profits or income arising therefrom.

(4) (a) A deduction from a payment to which this section applies, made on account of income tax at any time after the 5th day of April, 1963, and before the passing of this Act, which would have been a legal deduction if the foregoing provisions of this section had been in force at that time, shall be deemed for all purposes to have been a legal deduction to which all the provisions of Rule 19 or Rule 21 of the General Rules, as the case may be, were applicable.

(b) Subsection (2) of section 211 of the Income Tax Act, 1918, shall have effect as if this section had come into operation on the 6th day of April, 1963, and “other annual payment”, in both places where occurring in that subsection, shall be construed as including a reference to any payment to which this section applies not being a payment of rent, interest or annuity.

Returns, etc., for purposes of Part IX.

95. —For the purpose of obtaining particulars of profits or gains chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D by virtue of this Part of this Act, the inspector of taxes may by notice in writing require—

(a) any lessor, or former lessor, of premises to give, within the time limited by the notice, such information as may be specified in the notice as to the provisions of the lease and the terms subject to which the lease was granted and as to payments made to or by him in relation to the premises;

(b) any lessee, occupier, or former lessee or occupier of premises (including any person having, or having had, the use of premises) to give such information as may be specified in the notice as to the terms applying to the lease, occupation or use of the premises, and where any of those terms are established by any written instrument, to produce the instrument to the inspector of taxes for inspection;

(c) any lessee or former lessee of premises to give such information as may be specified in the notice as to any consideration given for the grant to him of the lease;

(2) Notwithstanding anything in this Part of this Act, section 37 of the Income Tax Act, 1918, shall be construed and have effect as if any tax chargeable under Schedule D by virtue of the provisions of this Part of this Act were chargeable under Schedule A.

(3) Where for any year of assessment a deduction may be made under subsection (4) of section 84 of this Act in respect of the cost of maintenance, repairs, insurance or management of any premises, no relief from income tax under Schedule A in respect of the premises shall be allowed under Rule 8 of No. V of that Schedule.
