BLM71435 - ’Income-into-capital’ schemes and back loaded leases: 'Income-into-capital' schemes: Purchase options: option price

In an income-into-capital scheme the price at which the option may be exercised is designed to (after taking account of the effect of any actual rent payable by Borrower to Bank):

• provide Bank with a commercial interest return; however this element will be reduced because Bank doesn’t pay tax on it; and
• repay the ‘loan’ - the amount Bank paid to Borrower for the asset at the outset (or which Bank paid to a third party for the asset where Borrower didn’t previously own it).
