Part 2: Plant and machinery allowances
Chapter 10: Long-life assets
Section 93: Fixtures etc.

411.This section is based on section 38B(1) of CAA 1990. It excludes expenditure on fixtures in certain types of building from being long-life asset expenditure.

412.The types of buildings are broadly those which do not usually qualify for industrial buildings allowances. So the long-life asset rules in general only apply to fixtures in industrial buildings.
