    It is not a question of a company’s policy – qualifying expenditure on plant and machinery will either qualify as main pool expenditure or special rate pool expenditure!
    The only decisions to be made by the taxpayer are;
    – to allocate AIA firstly to special rate pool expenditure, and
    – if dealing with an unincorporated trader, to limit the CA claim so as not to waste the PA
