Hi tutor, MCQ2 in chapter 5 Cora has always prepared accounts to 31 October. On 1 May 2023 she purchased a building which she brought into use on 1 June 2023. Costs: Land £700,000 Structure and building £550,000 Renovations of building £ 30,000 What is the maximum structure and buildings allowance (SBA) Cora may claim for the year ended 31 October 2023?
Answer: Land does not qualify for SBA Renovations – assume take place after and therefore do not qualify for SBA Structure £550,000 x 3% = £16,500
Why is 550000 not time apportioned as it is brought into use on 1.06.23 to 31.10.23 ?
