Capital Allowances Act 2001 Explanatory Notes

Section 502: Purchase of unused dwelling-house used where developer not involved

1795.This section is based on parts of section 91(1) and (2) of CAA 1990. It gives the qualifying expenditure if the relevant interest in the building is sold before the dwelling-house is first used and no developer is involved.

1796.Section 91 of CAA 1990 is expressed to apply for the purposes of sections 85 to 90 of CAA 1990. But, as it is clear that section 91 is also meant to apply for the purpose of section 96, that limitation is omitted in this section. See Note 65 in Annex 2.
