Chapter 1: Introduction
Section 271: Industrial buildings allowances

951.This section is based mainly on parts of sections 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 10A, 10B and 14 of CAA 1990. It sets out the basic requirements for industrial buildings allowances.

952.Subsection (1) identifies four types of building which can be classified as an industrial building or structure. This allows subsection (2) to define “industrial building”. It also provides that in Part 3 “building” is short for “building or structure”.
