Hello,
Can you explain to me why there is not a balancing allowance for carls motor car purchased on 1 Dec 2017 and sold on 1 Dec 18? There was no C.f. balance and there is no other assets in the special rate pool. The solution has charged 8% wda on it
Thanks

It does not matter whether any of the pool assets are still owned a WDA will continue to be charged so long as the business continues!February 12, 2019 at 7:57 am #504847Ahh yes, of course. Thank you
April 30, 2019 at 5:55 pm #514622Balancing allowances are allowed on the Non Pool Assets:
– Private use
– Short life assetsEven if trading continues. Correct?
