Hi, I am aware that the treatment for non wasting chattels is the following:
– Cost & proceeds less than 6000 then exempt
– Cost less than 6000 but proceeds more then ‘Normal calculation but gain is restricted to 5/3’
– Cost more than 6000 but proceeds less than 6000 ‘Deemed gross proceeds = 6000’
– Cost & proceeds more than 6000 then normal calculation.First of all is the above correct please? If so could you explain what is meant by ‘restricted to 5/3’ and ‘deemed gross proceeds = 6000’ please?
When cost is less than 6,000 but sale proceeds are more a normal gain is computed but is restricted to a MAXIMUM of:
(Gross Proceeds – 6,000) x 5/3
If cost is more than 6,000 but sale proceeds are less than 6,000 then one calculation of the loss is performed where we use 6,000 as the gross sale proceeds figure.
