Part 11: Contributions
Chapter 1: Exclusion of expenditure met by contributions
Section 535: Insurance or compensation money

1860.This section is based on part of section 153(2) of CAA 1990. It excludes from the general rule insurance or other compensation payable in respect of the destruction of an asset and similar disposal events.

1861.There is a minor change. In CAA 1990 this exception does not apply for Part VII (R&D allowances). This Act applies the exception to Part 6 (R&D allowances). So expenditure is not denied R&D allowances because it was met by insurance or the like. See Change 58 in Annex 1.
