The creation or ‘grant’ of a lease out of an existing lease or freehold is a part disposal of the existing asset. The capital gains position of the person or company making the disposal (the landlord) and the tenant depends on the length of the lease; whether the lease is a long lease, with a term exceeding 50 years, or a short lease, with a term of 50 years or less. The permutations are summarised in the table below and explained in more detail in the rest of this note.

This guidance note covers capital gains and income aspects only. SDLT and VAT will also be relevant, for which please refer to the Stamp duty land tax ― basic rules for companies and Land and buildings ― buying and selling ― overview guidance notes respectively.
