    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
    William

    Not sure whether you’ve used the notes and lectures but if you look at Study Notes Chapter 5 p.37 note 7.3(b) you will see that the only time a balancing ALLOWANCE may arise on the main or special rate pool is on the cessation of trading.
    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!

    Balancing allowances are allowed on the Non Pool Assets:
    – Private use
    – Short life assets

    Even if trading continues. Correct?
