A)$2,720 B)$480 C)$3360 D)$3200
The right answer is A but i don,t know how. A little bit explanation is appreciated.
Hi,this is about the lease rentals on cars with CO2 emission exceeding 130g/km(140g/km.),therefore,the disallowed amount is 15%of the lease charge p.a. So, it’s 15% multiplies £3200 (£480)that’s disallowed. The allowable,therefore, is £3200-£480
