Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM

Capital allowance

KKim1mo ago
Sir, I have a question. Generally, there will be no TAD claimable during the year of disposal right? Since we are not the owner of the asset at the year end. My question is, if the question stated that the WDV = RV at the end of year 4, should we need to further deduct the TAD? I feel like we should not, as it is not align with the principal. Therefore, since it is the same value, the TAD in year 4 will equal to zero - and this wont reduce our taxable profit. Please do help me. Thank you.

In the final year there is a balancing charge or balancing allowance of the difference between the sale proceeds and the tax written down value. If the two are the same then there is no allowance. Do watch my free Paper FM lectures on investment appraisal with tax for a full explanation of this :-)
