Description
This book, published in February 2012 but now re-issued in April, contains a full technical analysis of the proposed new rules re capital allowances for fixtures, as announced in the HMRC consultation document issued on 31 May 2011.
It has been fully updated to reflect the amended legislation published as part of Finance Bill 2012, and is now entitled Capital Allowances for Fixtures 2012-13.
The book explains the proposed new rules in detail, offering a full account of the technicalities, including detailed coverage of the transitional provisions. It is illustrated with practical examples showing the likely tax effects in particular circumstances. There is a chapter containing detailed worked examples and another that addresses practical issues arising for buyers and sellers.
The content is technical in nature, aimed at accountants, tax advisers, solicitors or surveyors. It is assumed that readers will already be broadly familiar with the existing capital allowances rules applying when commercial property is bought or sold, but it does have an introductory chapter providing an overview of the current rules.
