    For MCQ2, shouldn't the SBA be time-apportioned to take into account when the building was brought into use i.e., 550,000 x 3% x 5/12?
  2. Ruth
    @tutor - Please could you answer this one as I also thought the SBA should be time apportioned? From when the building came into use until the year end so 5 months of £550,000 * 3% * 5/12
  3. Reetu
    I think so has anyone got reply?
  4. Rushita
    In Example 1, why was the purchase of second hand motor car not added to AIA? Must a plant and machinery be new to be included in AIA?
  5. Natalia
    AIA applies to all expenditure on plant and machinery except cars.
  6. Anonymous
    Cars are delt with separately for capital allowances calculations. Hence the tax tables have a separate section for it from plant & machinery.
  7. Abdul
    In MCQ2, shouldn't the SBA be time apportioned as it was only put to use for 5 months?
  8. Aykhan
    In example 1, disposal of plan is taken as main pool allowances but it is related to AIA. What is the reason for taking of disposal of plant as WDV not AIA there?
  9. Natalia
    Disposal/sale of plant is taken as main pool allowance. If plant was purchased it would qualify for AIA.

    Hello,

    Can u explain in example 7 why Employment income was multiplied by 3/12?
  11. Andrii
    because she worked in a tax year for employer for 3 month, and then started self employment and being in that state for 9 months , total 12.
  12. kofi
    when is an expenditure qualified to be treated as a main pool or special rate pool
  13. Natalia
    Main pool - expenditure relating to plant + machinery.

    Special rate pool - top of page 56: integral features of a building, long life assets, motor cars with CO2 emissions over 50 grams per km

    Chapter 5, part 4 , 14:26min , MCQ2
    Answer provided to MCQ2 does not take into account when the structure and building was first brought to use.
    Maximum SBA should be £550,000 * 3% * (5/12months)

    Example 6 , 5:05mins
    There is no reference to "New" Electric motor car (zero emissions) which is the criteria to determine whether FYA is applicable.
    In the exam, should we also automatically assume it is a "new" car?

    Many thanks for your classes and to Open Tuition for making these resources available to everyone.
