Plant of machinery is leased out plant or machinery if:

• The lease is a plant or machinery lease that is not an excluded lease of background plant or machinery

Plant or machinery that is leased out by a qualifying associate is ‘leased out plant or machinery’ only if the lessee is or was someone other than the relevant company.
