Available Allowance

Postby GANDONAS22 » Mon Mar 01, 2021 9:32 pm

Our business is due to close on May 2021 and we have a tax liability of £11,200 estimated for 20/21 tax year.
On cessation we expect to have a balancing allowance of £10,000.
As we do not receive any WDA in the final year my question is
Can this available allowance be carried back and offset against the £11,200 liability ?
Many Thanks

Practicably speaking the balancing allowance you get takes account of the WDA's you would have normally claimed but don't - Ie if you had claimed WDA's your balancing charge would have been less - this will be a zero numbers game with overall claim agaisnt profits reflecting reduction in value of that asset of time buisness had that asset.

Thanks , I cant quite follow " claim against profits reflecting reduction in value of that asset of time business had that asset. "

I suppose I am asking will the allowance negate the liability ?

Thanks again

Sorry probably poorly worded on my part - basically if you bought asset for 10k and this asset is removed at market value of £2k when you cease - then the sum of capital allowances claimed for this asset (over all years) should be £8k!!!
