Dominico incurred the following expenditure on a new factory constructed to be used in his business during the year ended 31 March 2023: Land 100,000 Levelling of land 10,000 Factory building 280,000 Planning permission 3,500 What is Dominico’s structures and buildings allowance for the year ended 31 March 2023?
ANSWER 3,625 Qualifying expenditure Levelling of land 10,000 Factory building 280,000 Total qualifying expenditure 290,000 Structures and buildings allowance: £290,000 x 3% x 5/12 3,625
DOUBT? why 5/12!??! I don’t see any time apportionment to be done…
If I had to take a guess based on information available, I would guess the Factory was only brought into use for last five months of a year long accounting period.
