Capital Allowances Act 2001 Explanatory Notes

Section 519: Recovery of old initial allowances made on incorrect assumptions

1821.This section is based on section 87(7) and (8) of CAA 1990. It ensures that initial allowances made under earlier provisions can be withdrawn if the dwelling-house has not yet been used and turns out not to be a qualifying dwelling-house when it is first used. This is a transitional provision which, as time goes by, is increasingly unlikely to be needed.
