    Like any other item of plant and machinery but if AIA already used up on other assets then the short life asset election would be worthwhile given that they have a short life and usually little or no residual value.

    U mean its 1) qualify for aia
    Then remaining qualify for special rate pool of 8% ? Or non pool 8% ?

    Is the priority for computer for AIA or other assets first?

    Am still not clear please provide detailed explanation regarding computer.

    Computers qualify for AIA but if AIA used by other P&M then rather than taking cost to MAIN pool for 18%WDA, a short life asset election may be made that will again give 18% WDA while assets still owned but then will give a balancing allowance on disposal – this is the reason for making the de-pooloing election when an asset with a short life has a low residual value.
