(2) In this paragraph “the disposer’s final period” means, in relation to the disposal and acquisition of the asset, the basis period (appropriate to the disposer’s petroleum operations for the purposes of which qualifying expenditure has been incurred in relation to the asset) for the year of assessment which coincides with the first year of assessment for which an initial or annual allowance may be made to the acquirer in relation to the asset if it is used for the purposes of the petroleum operations carried on by the acquirer or as an industrial building. 23. Any qualifying expenditure incurred by the acquirer in relation to the asset to which regard would be had but for this paragraph shall be disregarded for the purposes of this Schedule and the acquirer shall be deemed to have incurred qualifying expenditure in relation to the asset of an amount equal to the sum ascertained under paragraph 22 in relation to the asset; and in relation to the asset— (a) the date on which the acquirer shall be treated as having incurred the expenditure so deemed to have been incurred by him; (b) the withdrawal of any allowance which would but for paragraph 22 and this paragraph fall to be made to the disposer; (c) the amount of any allowance or charge to be made to or on the acquirer; and (d) such other matters as may be considered necessary by the Minister, shall be determined in such manner as may be prescribed by rules to be made for the purposes of paragraphs 21, 22 and this paragraph. 23 A.

Interpretation 24. In this Schedule “asset”, except where the context otherwise requires, means an asset in relation to which qualifying expenditure has been incurred. 25. Any reference in this Schedule to any asset or to any relevant interest therein shall be construed whenever necessary as including a reference to a part of any asset or to any relevant interest therein (or, in the case of an asset or any relevant interest therein held in undivided shares, the undivided share in the asset or in the relevant interest therein); and, when it is so construed, the Director General shall make such necessary apportionments as may be just and reasonable to give proper effect to this Schedule. 26. For the purposes of this Schedule, capital expenditure incurred on— (a) the provision of machinery or plant, includes capital expenditure incurred on the reconstruction of that machinery or plant; (b) the construction of a building, includes capital expenditure incurred on the reconstruction or rebuilding of that building. 27. Where a chargeable person incurs capital expenditure under a hire purchase agreement on the provision of any machinery or plant for the purposes of his petroleum operations, he shall for the purposes of this Schedule be taken to be the owner of that machinery or plant; and the qualifying expenditure incurred by him on that machinery or plant in the basis period for a year of assessment shall be taken to be the capital portion of any instalment payment (or, where there is more than one such payment, of the aggregate of those payments) made by him under that agreement in that period. 28. For the purposes of this Schedule, where an asset consists of a building the owner thereof shall be taken to be the owner of the relevant interest in the building. 29. Subject to paragraph 48A, a building in respect of which qualifying expenditure has been incurred is disposed of within the meaning of this Schedule on the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the sale, transfer or assignment of the relevant interest in the building; (b) where that interest depends on the duration of a petroleum agreement, the termination of such petroleum agreement; (c) where that interest is a leasehold interest, the determination of that relevant interest otherwise than on the person entitled thereto acquiring the reversion; (d) the demolition or destruction of the building, or on the building ceasing to be used as an industrial building. 30. In this Schedule “relevant interest”, in relation to a building on which qualifying building expenditure has been incurred, means (subject to paragraphs 31 and 32) the interest in the building to which the chargeable person who incurred that expenditure was entitled when he incurred it. 31. Where— (a) a chargeable person is entitled to two or more interests in a building when he incurs qualifying expenditure on it; and (b) one of those interests is an interest which is reversionary on all the others, that reversionary interest shall be the relevant interest for the purposes of this Schedule. 32. An interest shall not cease to be the relevant interest for the purposes of this Schedule by reason of the creation of any lease or other interest to which that first-mentioned interest is subject; and, where the relevant interest is a leasehold interest and is extinguished by the surrender thereof or on the person entitled thereto acquiring the interest which is reversionary thereon, the interest into which that leasehold merges shall thereupon become the relevant interest. 33. (1) Any reference in this Schedule to the disposal, purchase or transfer of any asset includes a reference to the disposal, purchase or transfer, as the case may be, of that asset together with any other asset, whether or not qualifying expenditure has been incurred on that last-mentioned asset, and in any such case so much of the disposal value or the purchase price, as the case may be, of those assets as, on a just apportionment, is properly attributable to the first-mentioned asset shall, for the purposes of this Schedule, be deemed to be the disposal value or the purchase price, as the case may be, of that first-mentioned asset. (2) For the purposes of this paragraph, all the assets which are disposed of, purchased or transferred in pursuance of one bargain shall be deemed to be disposed of, purchased or transferred, as the case may be, together, notwithstanding that separate prices are or purport to be agreed for each of those assets or that there are or purport to be separate disposals, purchases or transfers, as the case may be, of those assets. (3) Subparagraphs (1) and (2) shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to the disposal, purchase or transfer of any asset or the relevant interest in any asset together with any other asset or relevant interest in any other asset. 34. Where any chargeable person has incurred expenditure in relation to an asset which is allowed to be deducted under Chapter 3 of Part III in computing the adjusted income or adjusted loss of that chargeable person for the basis period for a year of assessment from his petroleum operations, that expenditure shall not be treated as qualifying expenditure in relation to that asset. 35. For the purposes of this Schedule— (a) in the case of any expenditure incurred on the construction of a building, the day on which that expenditure is incurred is the day on which the construction of the building is completed, and in the case of any expenditure incurred on the provision of machinery or plant for the purposes of petroleum operations the day on which that expenditure is incurred is the day on which the machinery or plant is capable of being used for the purposes of the petroleum operations; (b) in any other case, the day on which the amount of any expenditure becomes payable is the day on which that amount of expenditure is incurred. 36. For the purposes of this Schedule, an asset which is temporarily disused in relation to the petroleum operations of a chargeable person shall be deemed to be in use for the purposes of the petroleum operations if it was in use for the purposes of the petroleum operations immediately before becoming disused and if during the period of disuse it is constantly maintained in readiness to be brought back into use for those purposes. 37. If an asset which is temporarily disused in relation to the petroleum operations of a chargeable person ceases to be ready for use for the purposes of the petroleum operations or if its disuse can no longer reasonably be regarded as temporary, it shall be deemed to have ceased at the beginning of the period of disuse to be used for the purposes of the petroleum operations, and all such assessments shall be made as may be necessary to counteract the benefit of any allowance made to the chargeable person for any year of assessment by reason of the application of paragraph 36 in relation to the asset. 38. For the purposes of this Schedule, subject to paragraph 48A a building is purchased by a person on the sale, transfer or assignment to him of a relevant interest in the building. 39. Any reference in this Schedule to the date of any sale, purchase or transfer shall be construed as a reference to the date of completion of the sale, purchase or transfer, as the case may be, or the date when possession of the asset the subject matter of the sale, purchase or transfer, as the case may be (or of the asset in which there is a relevant interest which is the subject matter of the sale, purchase or transfer, as the case may be) is given, whichever is the earlier. 40. Subject to paragraph 48A, any plant or machinery which is used for the purposes of petroleum operations and in respect of which qualifying expenditure has been incurred is disposed of within the meaning of this Schedule if it is sold, discarded or destroyed or if it ceases to be used for the purposes of those petroleum operations. 41. For the purposes of this Schedule,— (a) subject to subparagraphs (b) and (c), where an asset is disposed of by a person, its disposal value shall be taken to be an amount equal to its market value at the date of its disposal or, in the case of its disposal by way of sale, transfer or assignment— (i) an amount equal to its market value at the date of the sale, transfer or assignment, as the case may be; or (ii) the net proceeds of the sale, transfer or assignment, as the case may be, whichever is the greater: Provided that, where the asset is disposed of in such circumstances that insurance or compensation moneys are received by that person in respect of the asset, its disposal value shall be taken to be an amount equal to its market value at the date of its disposal or those moneys, whichever is the greater; (b) subject to subparagraph 22(1), where an asset has vested in Petroleum Nasional Berhad under an agreement between Petroleum Nasional Berhad or the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority and the person who incurred qualifying expenditure in respect of such assets, its disposal value shall be taken to be zero; (c) subject to subparagraph (b), where an asset of the kind to which subparagraph 2(2) applies is disposed of, the disposal value shall be deemed to be an amount which bears the same proportion to the disposal value ascertained under subparagraph (a) as the qualifying plant expenditure ascertained under subparagraph 2(2) bears to the qualifying plant expenditure ascertained under subparagraph 2(1). 42. Subject to paragraphs 43 and 44, a building is an industrial building within the meaning of this Schedule if it is used for the purposes of petroleum operations. 43. (1) Where a building is an industrial building, any building provided as a canteen, rest-room, recreation room, lavatory, bath-house, bathroom or wash- room for persons employed in the petroleum operations for the purposes of which that industrial building is used shall be treated as an industrial building. (2) A building used as a dwelling house or a retail shop, show-room, hotel or office is not and shall not be treated as an industrial building. (3) Any work or building of the kind described in subparagraph 1(c) of the First Schedule is not and shall not be treated as an industrial building. 44. Where part of a building or of an extension of a building is used as an industrial building and the other part of the building or extension, as the case may be, is not so used, then, if the capital expenditure incurred on the construction of the part which is not so used is not more than one-tenth of the capital expenditure incurred on the construction of the whole building or extension, as the case may be, the building or extension, as the case may be, shall be treated as an industrial building for the purposes of this Schedule; and, where the whole or some of the capital expenditure incurred on the construction of the part not so used is not identifiable as the capital expenditure incurred on the whole building or extension, as the case may be, that last-mentioned expenditure or the part thereof not identifiable as incurred on the respective parts of the building or extension, as the case may be, shall be apportioned by reference to the respective floor areas of those respective parts or in such other manner as the Director General may direct. 45. Where capital expenditure is incurred on preparing, cutting, tunnelling or levelling land in order to prepare a site for the installation of machinery or plant to be used for the purposes of petroleum operations, then, if that expenditure amounts to more than seventy-five per cent of the aggregate of that expenditure and the capital expenditure incurred on that machinery or plant, the machinery or plant shall as regards that aggregate expenditure be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as a building so long as that machinery or plant is used for the purposes of those petroleum operations; and that aggregate expenditure shall be treated as the amount of the qualifying expenditure incurred on that building which shall be treated as disposed of if that plant or machinery is disposed of. 46. A reference in this Schedule to residual expenditure at any date in relation to an asset in respect of which qualifying expenditure has been incurred by a chargeable person is to be construed as a reference to the total qualifying expenditure incurred by him on the provision, construction or purchase of the asset before that date, reduced by— (a) the amount of any initial allowance made to that chargeable person in relation to that asset for any year of assessment; (b) any annual allowance made to that chargeable person in relation to that asset for any year of assessment before that date; and (c) any annual allowance which, if it had been claimed (or could have been claimed, if the asset had been in use for the purposes of his petroleum operations) by that chargeable person in relation to that asset, would have been made to him for a year of assessment before that date. 47. Any reference in this Schedule to an allowance made to a person for a year of assessment or to an allowance to which a chargeable person is entitled under this Schedule for a year of assessment is a reference to— (a) an allowance which is claimed for a year of assessment and is made or is due to be made for that year of assessment (any such allowance being treated as having been made at the end of the basis period for that year of assessment); and (b) an allowance which would have been made or to which that chargeable person would have been entitled in relation to his petroleum operations for a year of assessment but for an insufficiency or absence of adjusted income or the existence of an adjusted loss for the basis period for that year of assessment. 48. In this Schedule “purchase price”, in relation to the purchase of an industrial building, includes any legal fee, stamp duty or other incidental expenditure incurred by the purchaser in connection with the purchase, but does not include so much of the purchase price of the building and of any land or an interest therein purchased with the building as is attributable to the land or that interest; and, for the purposes of paragraph 33, the building and that land or the interest therein, as the case may be, shall be treated as being separate assets. 48A . For the purposes of this Schedule, where under an agreement between Petroleum Nasional Berhad or the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority and another chargeable person who has incurred qualifying expenditure in respect of an asset the asset vests in Petroleum Nasional Berhad or the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority, such vesting alone shall not be treated as cessation of ownership or as disposal of such asset by that other chargeable person. Supplemental provisions 49. Where a chargeable person has incurred qualifying expenditure in relation to an asset which is owned by that chargeable person for a period of less than two years, the Director General may direct that any allowance which but for this paragraph would fall to be made to him in relation to that asset shall not be made; and, where any such allowance has been made, a balancing charge in an amount equal to any such allowance shall be made on him for the year of assessment in the basis period for which the asset was disposed of by him. 50. In the application of the provisions of this Schedule to a chargeable person regard shall only be had to qualifying expenditure incurred by him in relation to an asset which is in use in Malaysia for the purposes of his petroleum operations. 51. Where qualifying expenditure has been incurred by a chargeable person in relation to an asset used for the purposes of his petroleum operations, then, if— (a) the asset is used only partly for the purposes of the petroleum operations; (b) the asset is not used wholly in Malaysia for the purposes of the petroleum operations; (c) the petroleum operations are carried on partly in Malaysia and partly elsewhere, and the asset is not used wholly for the purposes of the petroleum operations carried on in Malaysia; or (d) the asset is used for the purposes of petroleum operations under more than one petroleum agreement, any allowance to be made to that chargeable person under this Schedule for a year of assessment in relation to the asset shall consist of so much of what would have been the amount of the allowance claimed and due for that year if the asset had been used in the basis period for that year of assessment wholly for the purposes of the petroleum operations, or wholly in Malaysia for the purposes of the petroleum operations, or wholly for the purposes of the petroleum operations carried on in Malaysia or wholly for the purposes of petroleum operations under one petroleum agreement, as the case may be, as shall be determined by the Director General having regard to all the circumstances of the case: Provided that in ascertaining the residual expenditure at any date in relation to the asset regard shall be had, with respect to any allowance claimed in relation to that asset for any year of assessment, to the full amount of that allowance which but for this paragraph would then have been made to him for that year in relation to that asset. 52. Where, by reason of an insufficiency or absence of adjusted income of a chargeable person from his petroleum operations, for the basis period for a year of assessment, or by reason of the existence of an adjusted loss of that chargeable person for that period from his petroleum operations, effect cannot be given or cannot be given in full to any allowance or to the aggregate amount of any allowances falling to be made to him for that year of assessment, the allowance or that aggregate amount, as the case may be, which has not been so made (or so much thereof as has not been so made to it for that year of assessment) shall be deemed to be an allowance to be made to him for the first subsequent year of assessment for the basis period for which there is adjusted income from its petroleum operations, and so on for subsequent years of assessment until the whole amount of the allowance or that aggregate amount to be made to him has been made to him. 53. A chargeable person shall not be entitled to an allowance under this Schedule for a year of assessment unless he makes a claim for the allowance for that year in accordance with paragraph 54. 54. (1) Any claim by a chargeable person for an allowance under this Schedule for a year of assessment shall be made in a written statement containing such particulars as may be requisite to show that the claimant is entitled to the allowance and a certificate duly signed on behalf of the claimant verifying those particulars. (2) Any claim to be made by a chargeable person for a year of assessment in accordance with this paragraph shall be delivered with the copy of the accounts made and delivered under section 30 for that year of assessment. 55. Where in the case of the petroleum operations of a chargeable person the basis periods for two years of assessment overlap, the period common to those periods shall be deemed for the purposes of this Schedule to fall into the earlier of those periods and not into the later of those periods. 56. Where as regards the petroleum operations of a chargeable person the Director General has exercised the power conferred upon him by subsection 5(3) to direct that the basis period for a year of assessment shall consist of a specified period, any allowance or charge to be made on or to that chargeable person under this Schedule for that year of assessment shall be ascertained by reference to such a period as shall be determined by the Director General, and that last-mentioned period shall be taken to be the basis period for that year of assessment in the application of this paragraph with this Schedule.
