    Hi,

    Just wondering how the balancing charge and allowance fits in to the taxation computation.

    My Kaplan CIMA study text book mentions you have to remove the accounting profit/loss from the trading profit and replace with the balancing charge/allowance (in a similar way to the tax depreciation replaces the accounting deprecation).

    I dont understand this and when it would be used and cannot see this in the open tuition notes/lectures.

    Thanks

    Answer 7 in the taxation – saws the balancing allowance is £9,500. HOwever I calculate this as £8925. This is the sale proceeds £9,500 less NBV of £17,625 = gives a loss of £8925

    Which is correct?

    I’m confused about the same. Not sure why 9500 is correct.

    Hi,

    I’ll update the answer, it should be the £8,925.

    Thanks
