It is the chargeable consideration, not the area of the land, that is apportioned when determining what land and buildings are intended to be used in a qualifying manner.

It will be necessary to identify and measure which areas are intended for use in particular ways to assess how much, if any, of the related consideration qualifies for use in a qualifying manner and therefore qualifies for relief. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp actual use of those areas that have been identified as meeting the ‘use in a qualifying mannerâ€� test, and whose consideration qualified for relief, will need to be monitored in the ‘control periodâ€� following purchase in case the conditions for withdrawal of relief are met.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp apportionment of consideration to land and buildings for the ‘use in a qualifying mannerâ€� test is done on a just and reasonable basis (para 7(1)).

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappre may be more than one method of apportioning the land and buildings intended for ‘use in a qualifying mannerâ€� that meets the just and reasonable test.

All relevant documentation should be retained in support of the apportionment stated in the land transaction return.
