Capital Allowances Act 2001

Section 319: Building not an industrial building etc. throughout

1092.This section is based on section 4(5), (6), and (7)(a) and (b) of CAA 1990. It calculates balancing adjustments if a building was at some time during the relevant period of ownership not used as an industrial building or for R&D. “The relevant period of ownership” is defined by section 321.

1093.Subsections (2) and (3) provide a balancing allowance if the proceeds from a balancing event are less than the starting expenditure and the net allowances made are less than the adjusted net cost of the building. “The starting expenditure” is defined in section 322. “Net allowances” is defined in section 324. “Adjusted net cost” is defined in section 323. The amount of the balancing allowance is the difference between the adjusted net cost of the building and the net allowances made.

1094.Subsections (4) and (5) provide a balancing charge if the proceeds from the balancing event are equal to or greater than the starting expenditure. The proceeds from a balancing event are given by section 316. The amount of the balancing charge is the net allowances made.

1095.Subsections (6) and (7) provide a balancing charge if the proceeds from the balancing event are less than the starting expenditure (so subsection (4) does not apply) and the net allowances made are more than the adjusted net cost of the building. The amount of the balancing charge is the difference between the net allowances made and the adjusted net cost of the building.
