1. Section 160ZU provides that the renewal of a lease is deemed for CGT purposes to constitute the grant by the lessor of a new lease that took effect immediately after the time when the original lease would, but for the renewal, have expired.

2. Where a lease granted pre-CGT is renewed post-CGT, the new lease which the lessee owns is taken to have been acquired post-CGT. Any subsequent disposal of the new lease by the lessee may be subject to the CGT provisions .
