Income Tax Act, 1967.

Apportionment of consideration and exchanges and surrenders of leasehold interests.

298.—(1) Any reference in this Part to the sale of any property includes a reference to the sale of that property together with any other property and, where property is sold together with other property, so much of the net proceeds of the sale of the whole property as, on a just apportionment is properly attributable to the first-mentioned property shall, for the purposes of this Part, be deemed to be the net proceeds of the sale of the first-mentioned property, and references to expenditure incurred on the provision or the purchase of property shall be construed accordingly.

For the purposes of this subsection, all the property which is sold in pursuance of one bargain shall be deemed to be sold together, notwithstanding that separate prices are or purport to be agreed for separate items of that property or that there are or purport to be separate sales of separate items of that property.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) shall, with the necessary adaptations, apply in relation to other sale, insurance, salvage or compensation moneys as they apply in relation to the net proceeds of sales.

(3) This Part shall have effect as if any reference therein (including any reference in the preceding provisions of this section) to the sale of any property included a reference to the exchange of any property and in the case of a leasehold interest, also included a reference to the surrender thereof for valuable consideration and any provisions of this Part referring to the sales shall have effect accordingly with the necessary adaptations and, in particular, with the adaptations that references to the net proceeds of sale and to the price shall be taken to include references to the consideration for the exchange or surrender and references to capital sums included in the price shall be taken to include references to so much of the consideration as would have been a capital sum if it had taken the form of a money payment.

(4) The preceding provisions of this section shall, with the necessary adaptations, have effect in relation to—

(a) sections 241 and 243, and

(b) Chapter I of Part XV,

as if the said sections 241 and 243 and the said Chapter I were provisions of this Part.
