Effects• Severe reduction of Annual Investment
Allowance (down to £25,000 from £100,000) wef 2012
• WDA also down by 2% wef 2012

Short Life Asset
• Previously restricted to 4 yrs, now 8 yrs• Treatment
– Treated separately from ‘pool’– Ordinary claims at 18% pa during ownership– Sell for LESS than balance claim difference– Sell for MORE than balance pay balancing
charge
• After 4 yrs/8 yrs, if not sold then transferred to general pool of P&M
![Page 16: Rural Tax and Valuation Update 5 July 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c11e764a79591e708b4629/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• £100,000 machine
• Balance after 4 yrs @ 18% pa = £45,212
• Balance after 8 yrs @ 18% pa = £20,441
• So sell Yr 4 for £30,000, claim £15,212 balancing allowance
