TTM09310 - Capital allowances: Exit from tonnage tax (P&M)

Qualifying expenditure: Assets other than expensive cars and long life assets

The qualifying expenditure that should go into a company’s capital allowance pool in respect of items of machinery or plant (other than expensive cars and long-life assets) is a percentage of the original cost of the asset.

7 years and one day to 8 years	10
