    (Chapter 6, example 6 (Open Tuition ACCA-TX-UK-Notes 2020, p.40 as per the pdf file/= p.52 as per Adobe)

    Good day,
    I have a question regarding this particular line :
    20 October 2020 Motor car (CO2 emissions are 105 g/km) used privately by employee – 20%
    private use) 10,400

    Answer:
    Motor car ( 51-110g/km) 10,400
    WDA × 18% x 9/12 = 1,404. Allowances 1,404

    My question:
    Shouldn’t the allowances be 1,404 x 80% ? Because it was used only 20% privately.
    As per my understanding, the logic should be in line with the logic for another car, where we calculate only the “business part”-use

    You need to go back to chapter 5 section 6.1 and read the first line of this note and also part (d) to realise the error you have made

    Hm, not sure if I understand it, but could you please confirm if the following (below) is correct or not?

    So following your advise,
    “6.1 Where an asset is used by the owner of the business (this can be either a sole trader or a partner in a partnership) partly for business and partly for private purposes (typically a motor car), only the business proportion of the available capital allowances is given.
    d. Private use by an employee of an asset owned by the business (again typically a car) has no effect on the business’s entitlement to capital allowances”

    Case 1. Motor car (CO2 emissions are 170 g/km) used by Wendy – 60% business use 14,800
    Case 2. Motor car (CO2 emissions are 105 g/km) used privately by employee – 20% 10,400
    *”Wendy commenced in self-employment” – so it means that Wendy is the owner

    My logic after reading the above paragraphs:
    Case 1: Wendy is the owner, so should be calculated only 60% in allowances
    Case 2: not the owner, but just an employee , so it should in accordance with the “d”-part, so 100% in allowances

    Use the Study Notes with the lectures and read only the technical articles on the ACCA website as stated within the study notes. You will then also need an exam Q&A kit from an ACCA provider. These are the essentials.
    If you wish you can also purchase a study text from an approved ACCA provider to use as a reference book NOT a reading book when you discover in some questions the occasional issue that you have not previously seen in our material.
