Matched Legal Cases: ['art.\n114', 'art 2', 'art 2', 'art.\n118', 'art 2', 'art 2']

113.This section is based in part on sections 22(1)(a) and 24(1)(a) and (b) of CAA 1990. It gives the general conditions for plant and machinery allowances. It uses the terms “qualifying activity” and “qualifying expenditure” which are central to entitlement to allowances under this Part.
114.Subsection (1) sets out the preliminary requirement for the whole of Part 2. Allowances are available if a person carries on a qualifying activity and incurs qualifying expenditure.
115.Subsection (2) is a signpost to Chapter 2 of Part 2 which gives the meaning of “qualifying activity”.
116.Subsection (3) sets up separate calculations for each qualifying activity.
117.Subsection (4) gives the general rule for qualifying expenditure. Subsection (4)(a) uses “wholly or partly” for the purposes of the qualifying activity instead of “wholly and exclusively” used by sections 22(1)(a) and 24(1)(b) of CAA 1990. The use of that term at the start of Part II is potentially misleading. Readers may conclude they are not entitled to plant and machinery allowances if they use an asset partly for other purposes. Yet section 79 of CAA 1990 makes explicit provision for allowances for plant or machinery provided or used partly for a qualifying activity and partly for other purposes. This subsection flags this at the start.
118.Subsection (4)(b) uses “owns”. CAA 1990 refers to plant or machinery which “belongs” to a person in sections 22(1)(b) and 24(1)(b) (and elsewhere). This is a change in the language only. See Note 7 in Annex 2.
119.Subsection (5) is a signpost to Chapter 3 of Part 2 which contains detailed provisions about plant and machinery and qualifying expenditure.
120.This section is based on section 83(2) of CAA 1990. It provides for expenditure incurred before the qualifying activity is carried on to be treated as incurred when the activity is started. Without this the expenditure could not be qualifying expenditure. It complements the trading income rule in section 401 of ICTA.
123.This section is based on section 81 of CAA 1990. It contains rules for plant or machinery that was gifted to the person carrying on the qualifying activity.
124.The section is similar to section 13. The plant or machinery received as a gift comes in at market value.
125.There is no equivalent of the anti-avoidance rules in section 13(4) and (5).
126.The anti-avoidance rule in section 81(3) of CAA 1990 has been moved to Chapter 17 of Part 2 – see section 213(3).
