Hello,
I have just worked through Practice Question 11 – Carl.
In the first year the following was an addition;
1 Dec 2019 Purchased a motor car with CO2
emissions of 170 g/km for £16,600 for use by the sales
manager.
This went into a Special Rate Pool because of the emissions.
The following year it was disposed of;
1 Dec 2020 Sold the motor car purchased on 1 December 2019 for £12,000.
There was nothing else in this pool, so at the end of the year there was a balance left on this pool of £3604.00
I have then put in a balancing adjustment in of -£3604 to bring this pool to £0 and added £3604 into allowances.
On checking my answer in the notes the £3604 has been WDA @ 6% but this will then leave a balance on a pool with nothing else in there and only £216 going to allowances.
Please could you confirm the correct answer as I am not sure where I have gone wrong.
Thank you
I think I have worked out where I have gone wrong, the balancing adjustment when it is an allowance can only be done when the business is to cease trading?
Which means this balance will continue to be written down at 6% until it is £0 or under £1k and qualifies for the small pool wda?
Correct a balancing allowance will only arise on a pool when the business ceases to trade – but you will also have a balancing allowance when a NON POOL asset is sold for less than its tax wdv
