Xeon Ltd purchases a newly-constructed office building from a developer for £1,875,000 on 1 March 2023 and starts using it on 1 April 2023. The purchase price includes acquisition costs of £75,000. Xeon Ltd has a 31 December year end.
What are the maximum SBAs available to Xeon Ltd in the year ended 31 December 2023?
I take £1,875,000 x 3% x 9/12 = £42,188. However, the answer excludes acquisition costs.
I thought only the cost of land or planning permission, stamp taxes are excluded and not acquisition costs.
Can you please clarify this?
Thank you.
Aquisition costs are costs to buy and can include legal fees etc. Relief for these costs comes in CGT
