In the computation pro forma, under the Short lIfe Asset column, there is a BA/BC thing.
pls let me know if the following is correct:
1. ba/bc for short life assets will occur upon their disposal
2. if sales proceeds > wdv, then BC
3. if sales proceeds < wdv, then BA
the figure for wdv used is just before computation of WDA?
thanks in adv

short life assets and balancing allowances
Correct! It is probable of course that it would be a balancing allowance as the taxpayer would only have made this election knowing that not only did the asset have a short life but it also had a low residual value and therefore its eventual sale would indeed lead to a balancing allowance, thus ensuring that the taxpayer received all the capital allowances due on the asset within the lifetime of its ownership.
