Capital Allowances Act 2001 Explanatory Notes

Section 475: Unrelieved qualifying expenditure

1686.This section is based on section 521(1)(b) of ICTA. It sets out the amount that is carried forward in a pool from one chargeable period to the next chargeable period.

1687.Subsection (3) stops any amount being carried forward after the trade is permanently discontinued. There would only be unrelieved qualifying expenditure if the taxpayer were to choose for some reason not to claim all of a balancing allowance that is available in those circumstances. See Note 60 in Annex 2.
