This is how you calculate a balancing allowance or balancing charge.

Compare the proceeds from the balancing event with the residue of qualifying expenditureimmediately before the balancing event.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappre is a balancing allowance if there are no proceeds or if the residueis more than the proceeds. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of the balancing allowance is

  • the residue if there are no proceeds
  • the difference if the proceeds are less than the residue.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappre is a balancing charge if the residue is less than the proceeds.»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp amount of the balancing charge is

  • the proceeds if the residue is nil
  • the difference otherwise.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappre is a restriction on the amount of a balancing charge. Abalancing charge may not be more than the initial allowances made to the person plus WDAsmade for chargeable periods ending on or before the date of the balancing event.

Example

Maureen incurs qualifying expenditure of £100,000 and claims 100% initial allowance sothe residue is nil. She sells the building for £120,000 3 years later. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp balancingcharge is the proceeds, £120,000 but it is restricted to £100,000, the allowances made.
