Hello sir,
I have a problem in the concept of balancing allowance. What i know is that, we give balancing allowance when an asset is disposed off or the business ceases to trade.
I was doing a question No. 255, where it states that,
All the items in Special rate pool has been disposed off and short life asset 2 also sold.In the solution, there was balancing allowance on the remaining amount of short life asset 2 after disposal,
but there was no balancing allowance on Special rate pool instead they charge WDA @6%.Is it a mistake or am I missing the law?
Enlighten me.
Thankyou in advance

July 20, 2020 at 10:29 am #577437so, if there is any short life asset and it gets sold, then we will provide balancing allowance?
