2.3.1.3 Timing of Designated Changes

1
Designated Changes are deemed to have taken effect at the start of the emissions year during which the change took place. Where a participant or Principal Subsidiary is purchased by another party in the middle of the year, the purchasing organisation that owns the Participant or Principal Subsidiary at the end of that emissions year would need to report and surrender allowances for the original participant or Principal Subsidiary for the entire year. Doing so will reduce the administrative burden on both the seller and the buyer of the organisation, avoiding the buyer and seller having to negotiate and calculate the share of emissions that each would take on. It will also make it simpler to adjust both the revenue recycling and historic emissions baselines to reflect the transfer. Whilst the new parent will have to surrender allowances corresponding with a full year of emissions from the entity it has purchased, its recycling payment would reflect the purchase.

To reduce administrative burdens only Designated Changes are deemed to take place at the start of the year. The purchase or sale of a non-Principal Subsidiary or site would be deemed to take effect at the time of the purchase and the purchasing organisation would need to report and surrender allowances to cover the part of the year for which it owned it.
