Balancing allowance?

BBlurryblue10y ago
Should i calculate for balancing allowance if let's say my asset tax base balance is 0 in year 4 (2000, Capital allowance 25% Straight line method) and i also sold it in year 4 for 800k?

Yes. The balancing charge or balancing allowance is always the difference between the sale proceeds and the tax written down value (which I assume is what you mean by 'asset tax base').
