Part 2: Plant and machinery allowances
Chapter 11: Overseas leasing
Section 107: The overseas leasing pool

456.This section is based on section 41(1)(a) and (6) and part of section 41(2) of CAA 1990. It requires certain affected qualifying expenditure to be put in a class pool (“the overseas leasing pool”).

457.Subsection (2) takes a simpler approach to special leasing than section 42(2)(e) of CAA 1990. It leaves expenditure on plant or machinery for special leasing to be dealt with like expenditure on plant or machinery for other qualifying activities. See Note 22 in Annex 2.
