Property used for purposes of “exempted trading operations”.

65.—(1) Where an event occurs which gives rise, or would, but

for this section, give rise to a balancing allowance or balancing charge in respect of any property to or on a company in relation to which a certificate under subsection (2) of section 3 of Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1958 , has been given, then, whether the certificate is still in force or not, the following provisions of this section shall apply.
