(a) at the rate of forty per cent. on so much of the amount of such capital gains as relate to buildings or lands or any rights in buildings or lands; and
(b) at the rate of thirty per cent. on the balance of such capital gains, if any [excluding capital gains, if any, referred to in clause (i)]; and
(iii) the amount of income tax with which it would have been chargeable had its total income been reduced by the amount of capital gains referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)..
