[(1)]¹ A hire purchase or other transaction under which the use and enjoyment of an asset is obtained by a person for a period at the end of which the property in the asset will or may pass to such person shall be treated for the purposes of the Capital Gains Tax Acts, both in relation to such person and in relation to the person from whom the use and enjoyment of the asset is obtained, as if it amounted to an entire disposal of the asset to such person at the beginning of the period for which such person obtains the use and enjoyment of the asset, but subject to such adjustments of tax, whether by means of repayment or discharge of tax or otherwise, as may be required where the period for which such person has the use and enjoyment of the asset terminates without the property in the asset passing to such person.

(2) Subsection (4) or (6) of section 865 shall not prevent the Revenue Commissioners from repaying an amount of tax as a consequence of an adjustment of tax made under this section, where a claim for any such adjustment is made within 4 years from the end of the chargeable period (within the meaning of section 321) in which the termination referred to in subsection (1) occurs.
