Capital Allowances Act 2001 Explanatory Notes

Section 478: Persons having qualifying trade expenditure

1698.This section is based on sections 528(1) and 532(1) of ICTA and sections 140(2), 144(2), and 161(2) and (5) of CAA 1990. It gives effect to allowances and charges in respect of qualifying trade expenditure as trading expenses or receipts. This treatment is what one would expect but the path to it in CAA 1990 is not straightforward. See Note 61 in Annex 2.
