CA20025 - Plant and Machinery Allowances (PMA): introduction: furnished holiday lettings business

CAA01/S17

A ’furnished holiday lettings business’ is a qualifying activity for PMA. A furnished holiday lettings business is one that consists of the commercial letting of furnished holiday accommodation in the United Kingdom. It may be part of a larger ordinary property business. The term ‘commercial letting of furnished holiday accommodation’ has the same meaning as in Chapter 6 of Part 3 of ITTOIA (from S322) for income tax and Chapter 6 of Part 4 of CTA2009 (from S264) for corporation tax.

Where only part of an ordinary property business consists of furnished holiday lettings, the furnished holiday lettings are a separate qualifying activity. PMAs are calculated and given separately on the furnished holiday lettings business and the rest of the ordinary property business.
