Hi Professor Moffat,
I was wondering if you are able to help me understand how to calculate TAD. Supposing plant costs 1250 with a TAD of 10% straight line for 5 years with a scrap value of 500 at the end of year 5. is this the same as calculating the capital allowance. I get the depreciation charge of 125 each year but not the 250 (including the balancing allowance) at the end of year 5.
Many Thanks

The capital allowances are 125 a year.
At the end of 4 years the written down value = 1250 – (4 x 125) = 750
Therefore in the final year there is a balancing allowance of 750 – 500 = 250.
