    Hi,

    Please i have quite an issue with a section C question. I am aware that impairment losses are allowable deductions only after they have been overdue for 6 months. Please see below, the note 2 contained in the question. And this was an allowable deduction for Retro Ltd… I believe it should have been disallowed as it is just 5 months overdue(Retro had a year end of 31st March 2023). I am confused as to why this was allowed. Please help.

    Note 2 – Impairment loss

    On 31 March 2023, Retro Ltd wrote off an impairment loss of £1,600 relating to a trade debt. This was in respect of an invoice which had been due for payment on 10 November 2022.

    I am afraid I do not have access to that information.

    I wonder if you are confusing the writing off of a debt with the VAT rules on claiming back the VAT?

    Oh mine! lol. Yes, indeed I am. That rule applies to input VAT. And that was not the case in this question. This was just a company writing off a bad debt within the accounting period.
    Thank you. I completely forgot that.
