Capital Allowances Act 2001 Explanatory Notes

Section 224: Restriction on B’s qualifying expenditure

816.This section is based mainly on section 76A(5), (9) and (10) of CAA 1990. It corresponds to section 218. It restricts, for sale and finance leaseback cases, the buyer’s available qualifying expenditure (and so restricts entitlement to writing-down allowances).

817.Subsection (5) disapplies this section in sale and finance leasebacks if more than half the risk to the lessor has been removed: in those cases the restrictions are greater. See section 225.
